Nirvana DVD due in November

Contributed by kingofsuck. Posted by aubin on Sunday, October 8, 2006 at 4:00 PM (EDT)

As the Holiday season draws nearer, so does another another posthumous Nirvana release. This year will see the release of the 1994 concert film Live! Tonight! Sold Out!! on DVD for the first time. It is also the band's first official DVD, aside from a DVD included with the 2004 box set With the Lights Out. The DVD will be remastered and though no specific details have been revealed yet, will feature previously unseen bonus material.

The DVD will be available in stores on November 7.

what is this like the kagillianth dvd or cd thats has come out since kurt cobains death. hes not tupac he doesnt have nearly enough material for people to keep doing this.

joeg (October 8, 2006)

1. tupac
2. sublime
3. nirvana

who else is on that list?

Dusticles (October 8, 2006)

Johnny Cash

Someone (October 8, 2006)

yeah that guy just released cash V gosh...

Dusticles (October 8, 2006)

and the Ramones

punkbytheounce (October 8, 2006)

Didn't Notorious BIG have a couple posthumous albums?

Someone (October 8, 2006)

two remix albums. no new material

Someone (October 8, 2006)

and The Beach Boys

Someone (October 9, 2006)

i'm pretty sure the beach boys are still alive:) but what about the rolling stones

Someone (October 9, 2006)

two of the original three Wilson brothers are dead (do your homework moron!) and the remaining one, Brian Wilson (aka the brians behind the beach boys) hasn't played with the group since '99. The lead singer is the ONLY one still beating that dead horse

YeahObi (October 8, 2006)

biggie's posthumous albums were just a couple. and they were both lackluster. sounds just like diddy trying to rake in a few more dollars...

Someone (October 8, 2006)

actually i think hes the only one who DOES have enough material to keep doing this, i mean shit they only put out 4 albums and that box set had 3 discs of unreleased shit. and there's still shit on the outcesticide boots that arent even on there.

kingofsuck (October 9, 2006)

But the problem is it's mostly shit that doesn't need to see the light of day.

Dusticles (October 8, 2006)

Someone (October 8, 2006)

i dont even like nirvana

notfeelingcreative (October 8, 2006)

Why are people acting like this is some new ploy to market Nirvana, it's simply a dvd reissue of an old video that has gone on moratorium, things that are out of print get reissued all of the time!

Someone (October 8, 2006)

cause the hoe bag behind it useally just needs money for fresh crack rocks so she exploits this band. they weren't even really good anyway though...

Someone (October 10, 2006)

u r all dicks, nirvana were the best band ever. if u dont like it dont by it

cjmarsicano (October 8, 2006)

Finally, a voice of reason on PNO.

mCLz (October 8, 2006)

nirvana sucks

/end

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

Yep.

All these people are arguing all this stupid stuff, but really it just comes down to that.

Someone (October 8, 2006)

according to your profile you suck a lot more

notfeelingcreative (October 8, 2006)

Whatever, if this was new Mescaleros material or a live clash dvd alot of you would be salivating! I'm not comparing the massive accomplishments of Joe Strummer to Kurt Cobain, nor am I trying to say that Joe's death is equal with Cobain (strummer, of course, didn't kill himself). But, most of the people who complain about posthumous releases and marketing wouldn't be so critical if it were bands you actually liked!

SalsaShark (October 8, 2006)

Actually yeah, I'd be critical because it's pretty apparent they're not milking a cash cow, not trying to make some great compilation for the fans. The way these things work is that you think "Wow, that's Nirvana's last release ever" and then another comes along. There is no sense of closure for a band that has not played in over a decade if you keep rereleasing stuff.

Granted, I love The Clash and Joe Strummer, but I think two posthumous releases (And by posthumous, I mean a while after the fact, not immediately following a band's death) are quite enough.

notfeelingcreative (October 8, 2006)

Yes, but this isn't anything new, it's a DVD rerelease of an old vhs, anyone who's really a nirvana fan (or ever was) should know that and not be duped into thinking they're getting unreleased material, I don't see anything wrong about reissuing an out of print video!.

SalsaShark (October 8, 2006)

Good point about reissuing the out of print. That's completely fine.

It's just the way Nirvana has been milked since they died that disappoints me.

Someone (October 9, 2006)

The Nirvana milking isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Officially, theres only been the 2 live albums (unplugged and muddy banks...) and the box set, followed years later by the greatest hits, and then the box set. Considering theres this huge stigma behind Nirvana and how huge and groundbreaking they supposedly were, this is kinda weak. Now, Sublime....theres a band thats REALLY milking it.

ChokingVictim (October 8, 2006)

Maybe I am a bad person, but I for one, don't mind all the post-humous releases from bands like Nirvana, Sublime, etc.

They are bands I like and I get new material by them, so who cares?

Someone (October 9, 2006)

Agreed!

Thirded?

SalsaShark (October 8, 2006)

My two favorite Nirvana songs are "All Apologies" and "Polly." Both are gold.

However, LET NIRVANA DIE.

Etienne (October 8, 2006)

Yes!

Godfather (October 8, 2006)

my fav is 'in bloom'

host17e (October 8, 2006)

son of a gun

notfeelingcreative (October 8, 2006)

That song is one of few covers that I like alot better than the original!

SalsaShark (October 8, 2006)

Covers I like better than the original:

Olympia, WA by NOFX (originally Rancid)
Bob by Rancid (originally NOFX)
Wendy by Descendents (originally Beach Boys)
Beat My Guest by The Epoxies (originally Adam & The Ants)

Someone (October 8, 2006)

Robot Man by the Epoxies (originally The Scorpions)

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

The Epoxies second album was really dissapointing.

Someone (October 8, 2006)

dude anything me first does is better then the orignal..

usversusthem (October 8, 2006)

Their cover of My Boyfriend's Back is pretty amazing.

Someone (October 8, 2006)

that Rancid cover of Bob wasn't that great and thier cover of moron brothers was pathetic.......Tim should do the world a favor and follow in Cobain's footsteps. Hell, i'll buy him the shotgun!

kingofsuck (October 8, 2006)

The Hot Water Music cover of "Bleeder" is great (and I'm a bigger fan of Alkaline Trio than HWM).

Someone (October 9, 2006)

Don't You Forget About Me by the Bouncing Souls

elguapo (October 8, 2006)

lounge act and very ape

i'm fine with this

Fuzzy (justin) (October 8, 2006)

Whatever.

It's a reissue. They're not flogging a dead horse, just keeping old stuff in print. You don't get pissed off when Nevermind goes into it's 8th pressing, do you?

SalsaShark (October 8, 2006)

No, you're right, but the fact that this comes just in time for the holiday season makes me question the good intentions behind the rerelease.

Also, Nevermind going into its 8th pressing happens quietly and without fanfare.

notfeelingcreative (October 8, 2006)

'Drain You', 'They Hung Him On A Cross',and 'Sappy' for me

kingofsuck (October 8, 2006)

"Drain You"

cash_money_hustla (October 8, 2006)

They should release their unplugged set on DVD.

host17e (October 8, 2006)

i just assumed it was available. if not, then yeah, what the fuck is wrong with them. that's something fans would want. and they wanna make money. seems win/win to me :P

elguapo (October 8, 2006)

this is true

it also says your my neighbor on last fm...howdy

Dusticles (October 8, 2006)

The Chicago Bears are the best football team in the NFL hands down

Someone (October 8, 2006)

Being a Buffalo sports fan after today I will say, the Bills fucking suck.

but...

The Sabres are the best team in the NHL.

Someone (October 8, 2006)

It is all about the Sabres this year motherfuckers!

mcgregor107 (October 8, 2006)

whoo!! 5 game mini-pack!

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

Probably.

Other things to note:

1. I have called 3 of the 4 playoff winners in MLB. If the Cardinals lose, I will be for 4 for 4. Fuck the Cardinals. And the Yankees too, while I'm at it.

2. McNabb sucks.

3. The Colts beat Tennessee by 1 point. I know they're undefeated now, but they can't be for long. Jesus christ. Tennessee is like the worst team in the NFL.

4. Favre needs to hang it up.

strungoutferriswheel (October 8, 2006)

I dont like the Eagles, but McNabb sucks? Yeah, he is awful. He is so bad that he only went to NFC championships in his last four actual seasons. And he made it to the Super Bowl without TO. And his team would be 4-0 because of his contributions if the rest of his team didnt fall apart in one quarter of one game. Yeah, he really blows.

The thing about the Colts. On the one hand, they may be the worst 5-0 team ever as they barely beat the Jets and Titans. On the other hand, they have a shit ton of injuries on defense so it is tough to judge them at this point.

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

You read into that McNabb comment way too hard.

I was just watching the game and eating and he made some bad plays so I said he sucks. I didn't mean what you thought I did. He's not that bad, although I've been watching today and I think he's done some stupid things. They could be up right now if he had executed a little more.

And the Colts offense was horrible today too. If you play the Titans, your points should be at least in the 20s. 14 points is pretty bad.

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

And right after I post that, McNabb makes an 87 yard pass for a TD. Fuckin' a.

strungoutferriswheel (October 8, 2006)

maybe i did overreact, but it is pretty funny that he turned into joe montana since you made the comment

mcgregor107 (October 8, 2006)

hmm.. i'm going to have to disagree..
they've played GB, Detroit, Minnesota, Buffalo, and Seattle (at Soldier Field, without their deadliest weapon, which makes their offence so goddamn predictable it's not even funny).. they also play SanFran.. Arizona and Miami in the next few weeks..

With the exception of Seattle, those are some of the worst teams in the league, with terrible offences, easily dominated by the Bears' defence.

You wait until they play against the Giants and the Patriots..

Seattle with Alexander and Branch are probably better.

Dusticles (October 8, 2006)

dude the bears beat seattle 37-6. I dodnt think Alexander would have made up 31 points.

Minnesota beat teams like washington, and carolina.

besides, the Bears cant help it that the teams around them suck. Besides Minnesota, the Bears have DOMINATED every team they have played. Moreover, the Bills were 2-2, but even Lovie Smith said they were the best team they have played so far b/c the Bills could have easily been 4-0

mcgregor107 (October 8, 2006)

yeah, but without Alexander, they're a one-dimensional team.. he wouldn't of scored 31 points by himself, but you can estabilish a play-action pass that could be lethal..

Right now, there probably isn't a better team.. The Colts can't stop the run worth shit, Carolina is just finding their rhythm.. The Pats don't have any recievers..

If they keep playing the way they are, with that easy schedule, they should have no problem going undeafeated in the regular season..

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

I see what you mean, and he would've helped their offense, but their defense just wasn't holding up either that day.

Dusticles (October 8, 2006)

Grossman just picked appart their secondary. unless alexander is a pro-bowl safety, Bears still win that game

Someone (October 8, 2006)

Courtney needs booze money!!

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

I think by "booze", you mean crack.

Someone (October 8, 2006)

My live album has more exclamation points than your live dvd.

-Tom Gabel

Someone (October 8, 2006)

well fucking played!

Coldwaffles (October 8, 2006)

If Dave Grohl didn't drum for this band, I wouldn't care about them at all.

Dave Grohl is to popular rock music, as Henry Rollins is to underground rock music.

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

I completely don't understand that analogy.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Henry Rollins is to punk rock what Wayne Brady is to black people.

Coldwaffles (October 8, 2006)

Did I say punk rock?

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

No, but I think you implied Henry Rollins isn't an asshole.

Coldwaffles (October 8, 2006)

Indeed I was.

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

Then you are dumb. Cause he is an asshole.

joeg (October 8, 2006)

you gave us vague dave grohl and henry rollins analogies..what exactly were you saying again?

joeg (October 8, 2006)

you gave us vague dave grohl and henry rollins analogies..what exactly were you saying again?

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

You are dumb.

joeg (October 8, 2006)

Lolmibad!

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

SalsaShark (October 8, 2006)

I always detested the Foo Fighters. I'm not exactly sure why, but they are one of those bands that you just don't like and you can't put your finger on a reason.

Coldwaffles (October 8, 2006)

I'll admit, their new electric stuff is pretty bad. Otherwise, they're easily the best mainstream rock band.

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

Their first 3 albums were pretty good. Check them out.

Coldwaffles (October 8, 2006)

Agreed. And most of One By One is really good. Plus, the acoustic disc on the new one is amazing.

JonathonFallow (October 8, 2006)

Yeah. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as their other stuff. Kind of forgettable.

Someone (October 8, 2006)

< sarcasm> can you beleive they made a dvd version of star wars? man, george lucas is a sellout.
< /sarcasm>

kingofsuck (October 8, 2006)

My personal thoughts on this:

This isn't as much of a case of milking a cash cow as some are making out to be, as there has been a large demand for this on DVD for years now (same with the box set). I do think that the "best of the box" CD that came out last year was unnecessary, though. That being said, it seems a little too convenient that these releases are coming out just in time for the holiday shopping season. My guess is next November we'll see the release of theiir Unplugged performance on DVD.

Someone (October 8, 2006)

first.

Someone (October 8, 2006)

THis dvd should be a blast to watch. Another shot to see Nirvana do their live shows and perform their bangin set.

Someone (October 8, 2006)

nirvana is better than any band you stupid shits listen to. period.

(with the exception of queen and the beatles)

Scruffy (October 9, 2006)

Haha! Queen! Are you serious?

And Nirvana themselves would probably shame you for your first statement. They were humble, and realized they weren't as good as the praise heaped upon them would seem to say. While I think statements saying they were overrated are erroneous, as their impact on popular music is immense, they are remembered far more for their impact than their songwriting.

Scruffy (October 9, 2006)

While the fact that this is merely a reissue of an old out of print video makes this seemingly inoffensive, I feel the need to point out how everything that has been released posthumously "by" Nirvana seems to come out in the peak of the Christmas buying season.

BlakeSchwarzenbach (October 9, 2006)

I opened for these guys before.

Someone (October 10, 2006)

well i can see why this can be sad and pleasing for some fans like myself. I would love to hear Kirk`s sing again. But at the same time is like we are taking advantage of his death.
So is Jesus going to mix this CD???

Someone (October 11, 2006)

Kirk? you fag
