yeah those bleach days were very cool. in utero was a great album. sometimes i wonder what would have happened ha the in utero been the follow up to bleach instead....

hmmm i dig dino, i seen em live twice, but i still like nirvana a lot even nevermind, if they hadnt been signed nevermind wudn have sounded too different, maybe it wud have but the songs wud have been the same, nobody heard subpop version of in bloom?? its still pretty bad ass jst rally lofi, they jst got massive cuz that audience had been building up for the whole of the 80s, dino and nirvana were tourin together it jst happened that nirvana were more structured, more pop i suppose

Its nice to see them laughing about the old problems. They are in London next week and as usual Ill go and see them. I just hope this incessant touring isn't tiring them out, they seem to be playing somewhere almost every night which must get a bit boring for them.

Hmmm - not exactly sure that I would say that Nirvana were compromised from day one. Bleach still kicks ass... and going to see them in dingy little clubs pre-Nevermind was pretty exciting... I agree once they were on DGC they were marketed to the masses as teen rebellion, and while In Utero is a return to form - what pisses me off is the cult of Cobain that showed up right after his death and continues to this day... that is what disgusts me, and you can bet it would Cobain as well...

Lou also tells a rather uninteresting story about shooting rockets at Sonic Youth's van, and explains how Murph once told J "you should get raped !" and J smashed his guitar on his head. Then I think you can make out what he says about the reformation.

The live footage is from a show (apparently on the same day as the TV program ?) at the Zénith, Paris.

Here's a translation :

J : The first time I heard Kurt Cobain's voice, I had the impression I had already heard it before on the radio. It sounded radio-friendly, like Cheap Trick or Bad Company. But I don't have a radio voice.

MURPH : In college J was buying a lot of punk-rock records, he had a lot of money.

J : I was wondering the other day where all that money came from. I had no job, no bank account... I know I took some money from my mom.

Thats not what he is saying exactly or that's not what the translation in French is saying. He says that Nirvana were more radio friendly, more FM. I guess he means more bland and Id agree with that. Nirvana compromised from day one, teen rebellion packaged for the masses.

[Gaz0175]

He pretty much is saying the same thing he has in other interviews - that Cobain had a great 'radio friendly' voice - whereas he doesn't... the interviewer is trying to make the connection between Dino being a big influence on Nirvana - J pretty much says that they were completely different things....
