      I think I heard something about him coming back to it and wanting to play it live again more before he passed? Like he asked Dale Crover for a bunch of old demo tapes from the bleach era and stuff like that

      I think maybe Kurt felt he was out of his comfort zone vocally, listening to the track Kurts vocals seem unintentionally uneasy, not in a pleasing way either. (until you get to the heavy bit)

      Sometimes, something you write might just get *way* too personal in retrospect, reminding you of a nightmare you had that you *really* don't want to repeat. That could be what happened here, but I don't know for sure.

    • @DMARrecords
      @DMARrecords 3 місяці тому

      I think, If you had another Eastwood, the easiest way to get closest to a Univox, until you get one, would be to slap a Jaguar trem on it, practically the same mechanism as a univox, just doesn't have the look.

    • @DMARrecords

      But that's probably more work than it's worth, because the Univox Jag-Style trem looks slightly different enough that, while the same thing, would look off.

    Cool to see a tone recreation of If You Must.

    I’ve never heard this song but it’s still cool hearing a really early Nirvana cut regardless, also the DM-2 is making think back to when I was at my local guitar store’s annual Boxing Week sale on New Year’s Eve and found an old Boss DM-3 (and when I say “old”, I mean one of the employees told me it was from around the late 1980s, which is definitely the oldest pedal I’ve seen alongside an overdrive pedal that I’ve never actually seen aside from guys like David Gilmour and Eric Johnson (BK Butler Tube Driver), which sounded surprisingly good for a pedal from the 90s)

    Part of the reason Kurt was so hard on himself and his image, let's consider, was that he was very young after all. This is a kick-ass rock song with its own authentic charm. I think he would have softened up to it had he simply lived longer.

  •  11 місяців тому +1

    I’m just wondering, but I feel like (and this is just my guess) since they were on a tight budget during the “dale demo” and they wanted to get through all the songs of the session as fast as possible, he wouldn’t bother to change any tone settings throughout the session, but these settings you have are different to what you had for the dale demo songs in the bleach tone video. Just want to know your thoughts about it.
