Classic Albums: Nirvana, Nevermind
A documentary DVD released in March of 2005, as part of the Classic Albums series. It features interviews specifically for this release with members of the band Nirvana and "Nevermind" album producer Butch Vig about the recording of the album. Other interview highlights include Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth, and Steve Diggle from The Buzzcocks.

There possibly isn't an album in history that is as genre defining as NIRVANA's 'Nevermind.' Released in 1991, it single-handedly was responsible for the birth of what became to be known as grunge and has gone on to sell over 8 million copies in the US alone.

'Nevermind' was the second album from the Seattle trio and the first on the DGC label (it's predecessor 'Bleach' was released on the Sub Pop label). It was produced by Butch Vig (also the drummer for the band Garbage) and mixed by Andy Wallace.

Nirvana's surviving members Krist Novoselic (bass) and Dave Grohl (drums) talk candidly about their past, the recording of Nevermind and about Kurt Cobain and the legacy that he has left behind. Also featured are exclusive interviews with the likes of Garry Gersh (A&R DGC Records), Butch Vig, Jonathan Ponneman and Nils Bernstein (Sub Pop Records), Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Jack Endino, and many more.

A very well made documentary. I love the studio engineer and when Dave describes Kurt's voice as "boiling nails".

This is a must see just for the making of the Teen Spirit video. The pruducer was a total tool who just happened to be in the right place and time.

Re: Classic Albums: Nirvana, Nevermind
An excellent documentary, although it does over-exaggerate the greateness of the album, listening to Butch Vig talk about how they got the sound and how Kurt Cobain was really a pop song writer that wanted to keep everything heavy so that it wasn't perceived as sugar-coated crap was totally awesome.

My favorite part was when they talked about how he wrote the melody and the sounds of the words first and then found some semi-coherent sentences (arguable?) to fill out the song.

There's never a positive "heyo" when Nirvana videos find their way onto the internet, but I can't see why.
