]]>During a recent interview with Howard Stern, Grohl, who now fronts rock heavyweights Foo Fighters, spoke about the relationship he has with bassist Krist Novoselic and Nirvana’s touring guitarist Pat Smear. Grohl revealed that the trio remains good friends and will occasionally engage in jam sessions.
“We don’t like run through a big old Nirvana setlist, but we do like to just fool around, and sometimes as we’re fooling around, songs happen,” said Grohl. “And you know if we’re in a studio, we’ll record them. So we’ve recorded some stuff that’s really cool.”
But Grohl immediately gave Nirvana fans a cold shower, saying that it’s unlikely any of that stuff will reach the public.
“But we’ve never done anything with it. To us, it’s more just like friends, jamming around, it doesn’t really seem like any sort of like a big official reunion,” he explained before adding that the stuff they do is just instrumental.
Since 1994, Nirvana’s living members have reunited on multiple occasions. The first one was in 2012 when Grohl, Novoselic, and Smear joined Paul McCartney on several shows to perform their collab effort “Cut Me Some Slack.”
They then reunited in 2014 for Nirvana’s induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The trio performed a four-song set at the ceremony with guest vocalists before performing a full show at Brooklyn’s St. Vitus Bar.
Novoselic and Grohl played together several times after this, including Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy party in 2016 and Cal Jam festival in 2018.

]]>The post Nirvana’s Greatest Hit Reaches a Billion Views on YouTube appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>That’s the number which Nirvana’s classic, “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” currently possesses on YouTube.
The figure itself is quite hard to contemplate if you actually sit down and think about it. According to its definition, a billion equates to a thousand million, or 10 to the power of nine. The number is one-seventh of the global population, meaning that 1 in 7 people across the planet have watched Kurt Cobain belting out, “With the lights out, it’s less dangerous / Here we are now, entertain us / I feel stupid and contagious / Here we are now, entertain us.”
The song was released in 1991 and is still considered Nirvana’s biggest hit. The music video for the track was filmed in August of that year and takes place at a school concert that turns into a full-blown riot by the end of it. It was uploaded to YouTube in 2009, four years after the video site was founded.
Now, within a decade, the music video has managed to achieve over one billion views, becoming only the second video from the ‘90s to do so after “November Rain” by Guns ‘n Roses which has almost 1.3 billion views.

]]>The post Marc Jacobs is in Trouble Over One of His Designs appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>Fashion designer Marc Jacobs recently re-released his 1993 collection entitled Redux Grunge which features a T-shirt with the word “Heaven” written above a familiar yellow smiley face.
The smiley face you may associate with rock band Nirvana.
Frontman Kurt Cobain designed the symbol in 1991 fas part of the invitation for the release party of their Nevermind album.
The image was copyrighted and has since been used on various merchandise and articles of clothing emblazoned under the word “Nirvana”.
Jacob’s design differs somewhat in that the two eyes are characterised as an “M” and a “J”.
Nirvana is now suing the designer for copyright infringement and allegedly misleading the public by making it appear as though the band is associated with the brand.
The legal entity formed in September 1997 by Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and the Cobain Estate which is controlled by his widow Courtney Love, further claims that Marc Jacobs did not pay or receive authorization to use Nirvana’s intellectual property.
Smells like mean spirit…

]]>Last week, the surviving members of Nirvana reunited on stage for the second time since Kurt Cobain’s death. Dave Grohl has since described the reunion as “spiritual”.
The ex-drummer from the iconic rock band opened up to Kerrang! about what it was like to reunite with his former band. Bassist Krist Novoselic and guitarist Pat Smear performed six songs together at Cal Jam in San Bernadino. Their setlist was as follows:
Serve The Servants’ (with John McCauley)
‘Scentless Apprentice’ (with John McCauley)
‘In Bloom’ (with John McCauley)
‘Breed’ (with Joan Jett)
‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ (with Joan Jett)
‘All Apologies’ (with Joan Jett and Brody Dalle)
Grohl claimed to be beaming when they played legendary track “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”
“When Pat, Krist and I sat down to go through those songs in a small rehearsal room with concrete walls, it f****n’ sounded like Nirvana,” he told Kerrang!
“It was like being shot into outer space,” he said. “Being able to play that drum fill and break into the chorus…it’s spiritual, physical, emotional.”
He continued: “We would look at each other and smile, but the emotions would kind of go in waves, because there was someone missing – and you wish that you could still share those songs with Kurt.”
Does this mean that we can expect more performances from the surviving Nirvana members in the future? We can only hope.
