Well, this is pretty old news for die-hard Nirvana fans... *cough* ...but, I haven't been around the BB for a few weeks due to computer problems, so I thought I'd post about it now and gather some opinions. Most Nirvana fans -- hell, even non-Nirvana fans -- are pretty well aware of the huge six year lawsuit between Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl vs. Courtney Love over unreleased Nirvana material. It's been going on for years and delaying the beloved box set most of us die-hard fans have been waiting for...for YEARS. I, myself, tried my best to keep patient -- but it gets hard when it's stretched from 1997 'till now. But, finally, the date is creeping up. I was so excited when I found out, I went ballistic. Anyhow, here's the official heads up. This is it, guys. The best news I've been able to post since this website started some eight years ago ... A Nirvana box set will be released on November 23, 2004. This is the box we've been waiting for since the rumours about it first started more than six years ago. It will include 3 CD's and one DVD, featuring "previously unreleased rarities and b-sides. Over 50 unreleased recordings including Kurt Cobain's demos". The DVD will also contain unseen footage and live performances. And, the whole thing comes with a 60-page booklet! I know this sounds just about too good to be true but here is the official info and all I know about the project right now:
NIRVANA BOX SET - 3 CD & 1 DVD
# Street Date: Nov. 23, 2004
# Features the hits, live performances, previously unreleased rarities and b-sides
# Over 50 unreleased recordings including Kurt Cobain's demos
# Hours of unheard music and unseen footage
# Features a 60 page booklet. DVD with first edition only
# 3-panel digipack, front cover is a metal plate
# Closed size is 26cm x 14.5cm x 2.5cm. Open size is 81cm x 14.5cm
I don't have pricing, artwork or tracklistings at this time but hopefully that will be available soon. I also don't know yet, if any singles, promos or videos will be released in connection with the box. All I do know is that what millions of Nirvana fans have been waiting for since 1997 or so is finally here. I really have no idea what recordings they have used to compile this set. Indeed, some of the Cobain demos must come from all the cassette tapes that he apparently left behind. The band also did a number of studio sessions which yielded songs that have yet to be released - although much of this material is already circulating amongst fans. It will certainly also be interesting to see what the DVD has to offer; perhaps Nirvana's music videos and some live stuff. It seems unlikely from the description that an entire concert is presented on the DVD. It's probably clips from various shows. In any case, this is a great day for Nirvana fans! Is that good fuckin' news or what? And, by the way, I know there's a few people out there who don't really like Nirvana -- so if you could do us the favor of just not posting, instead of going "don't care," I'd really appreciate it. We already know you don't care. You don't have to remind us everytime the band is brought up.

I am happy for all of you Nirvanna fans and hope you enjoy the new box set release. The only thing I would comment on that the price seems a little high. It is a shame that they reward the true true die hard fans by having them dig deep into their pockets. That is not fan friendly and someone is making a lot of coin on this release.
The Clash put out 25th Anniversary of London Calling a few weeks ago. It included the original double album release remastered on one disc. Disc two was the never released Vanilla Tapes of demo's and rehearsal leading to the recording of LC.
Disc three a DVD. Nicely packaged w/ booklet & lyrics for $24.00. Twenty years after they broke up The Clash still have the best interest of there fans in mind, not there pocketbook.

Lighten WHAT up? Lighten up usually means to turn a depressing event cheery. What depressing event? We were discussing Nirvana. There was no need to "lighten a mood" by stating something you know offends other people -- especially with a request NOT to do so.
Every time Nirvana is brought up, you have to make some sarcastic, psuedo-witty remark about how much you don't like them. I can see if this was a political thread where opinions are backed up by logic and facts, but it's a music thread. Putting down a band you know other people like in a thread ABOUT that band with a request NOT to do so is just ignorant. There was no mood that needed to be "lightened up." And I'm not alone, as it shows -- three other people agreed with me.
And you know as well as I do the title of the thread isn't meant to be taking literally -- it's obviously directed at Nirvana fans, and Nirvana fans HAVE been waiting for this.
I tend to agree with you in other topics, such as politics, and I don't have a personal problem with you -- but I tend to find it annoying when you continuously do something you know I look down on, and you know I'm offended by.
If you don't like Nirvana, stay out of the fucking thread.

It doesn't matter. It gets redundant. "Having fun" by doing something someone requested for you not to do -- something that you know I'm offended by -- is just ignorant. Would you go to a funeral, and start poking jokes to "lighten the mood" and "joke around"? No. And I realize it's a pretty far stretch in comparison, but it's the same concept.
I asked for people like you not to even post bullshit like that -- joking or not. Simply because it's old. That pretty much means that I'm not going to take the "joke" very lightly. Do you have to joke like that every time Nirvana is brought up? Especially on this type of occasion? Especially when you've done it before, to no appease? Especially when you know I'm offended by it? Especially when I specifically asked for you not to?
Would you start poking racial jokes at a black person if they're offended? If they're not offended -- it's just horsing around. But when they ask you not to, and they're clearly offended, would you persistent? No, because that's just being thick-headed.
You've "joked" before, to no approval. If I ask for you not to do it, it doesn't mean "go ahead, do it."
Once again... Don't like Nirvana? Stay out of the thread.
Now, this topic is being thrashed. Let's end it here.
