Listening to the new Nirvana box set I just received for Christmaspalooza...interesting and infuriating.
She (that BITCH) always has to have a trump card, in case she needs more plastic surgery.
San Diego Union mentioned Courtney Love, in their critical review of the
Nirvana Box set, saying that she seemed to be taunting people for
the release of material she's holding back. "Missing, for
example,are any live tracks from Nirvana's final tour, an early 1994
European trek that ended abruptly in Munich, Germany.....
Likewise, there are none of the late 1985 recordings Cobain made in the living
room of his aunt's Seattle home with Melvins' drummer Dale Crover.
(Hmmmm.........)
Their absence is doubly mystifying, since the first page of the
accompanying CD booklet lists those very songs, which Cobain and
Crover comppiled on a cassette tape they drolly titled "Fecal
Matter". Absent too, are any of Nirvana's final sessions, which were
cut at a small studio near Seattle. These songs are also listed in
the CD booklet- almost as if to taunt listeners- or prime them for a
possible Cobain box set, for which "Love is believed to have held
back many more of his home demos."
(Hmmmm again. I have my own theory on why those demos will never see the light of day.Goodness knows she needs the cash right now and is in debt.)
The review also goes on to subtly blast CL and her lawyers for for being such litigious
stubborn ass-holes that they finally forced the release of a seriously compromised box set that was tidily packaged for holiday sales and was the almost damn near an anti-thesis of what Kurt would have wanted.
I think she 'borrowed' from the old demos, and used them as her own material, but that's just my own opinion. A seasoned listener would recognize something like that (a similarity) in her releases on "Live Through This". Not to mention, the obvoius recognition anyone who played on any of the "litagous" tracks would have. You also have to wonder why a sensible guy like David Grohl, who already has stated "It isn't all about the money" would keep going into court over the releases so often as he had.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
