MTV Unplugged (Audio CD)

Customer Review

When Nirvana appeared on MTV Unplugged on 18 November 1993 and this album was recorded, had already determined that many of these great musicians perhaps could not be very old in the head. When Kurt Cobain in April 1994 then really took his own life in spite of everything, it was a shock for the fans and the music world. The death of Cobain is a loss for the music world is about on a par with the death of other greats like Jim Morrison, Buddy Holly, Elvis, John Lennon or later the death of INXS singer Michael Hutchence.
One should note here the same again at this point was the "In Utero", the last studio album by Nirvana completely torn and there the obituary has been formulated on the band. With Cobain's suicide suddenly only Nirvana fans were to be found up to that time with the kind of music had nothing on his hat.
When I due to the first single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" then in 1991 the album "Nevermind" was my rose Grunge also not the kind of music that often ran with me. With Nirvana probably arose only my preference for music of the harder variety, which probably was because the "Nevermind" is nevertheless a very poporientiertes album, which was actually not that typical of the band. "Nevermind" was an album that at the first Play time in the ear canals remained, in comparing two completely different to "In Utero" which lit only after repeated listening, but then all the more powerful.
Even with the first work "Bleach" showed the band around the charismatic Kurt Cobain what you did on the box and delivered from a first-class debut. When I 1993 Broadcast from your MTV Unplugged looked appearance, I was surprised and puzzled at the same time. Surprised, because Nirvana on big hits like "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "In Bloom", "Heart Shaped Box" or "Lithium" renounced and surprised because the band unplugged were a revelation. Who would have previously Cobain on stage can, surrounded by strings and candles, imagine how he demonstrates his skill with a guitar in his hands and sitting on a stool. I was blown away by what I had seen there. If Cobain in "Come as you are" with narrowed teeth sings "I don`t have a Gun" runs it a still cold on the back.
Each row in the desperate cry for help of a genius was heard of could not cope with all this what was happening around him. Unfortunately, at this time was probably not aware of how critical it was to Cobain's condition. Cobain was by his own Hdn to tragic music icon this time. The hopelessness and anger is accounted for the its status in this published after the death Unplugged recording every second tangible. Highlight for me on a consistently brilliant disc is personally sung originally by David Bowie & Lulu "The Man Who Sold the World", which makes you think wistfully of one of the greats who still had so much potential in itself but with himself and the world around him did not come clear.
An old proverb says "Only the Good Die Young", but when Kurt Cobain could have been on genes omitted since this determined only at the beginning of his work was. "Nirvana Unplugged" is an album that is a must anywhere and a worthy tribute to Kurt Cobain is.
