This is a remake of an earlier TL I did on this site, one that was so terribly researched that it is annoying to read. But no one else noticed because there are no other real Nirvana fans here. ;)

"I remember this one time, we were in a bar, just sitting around, chilling, and this chick came in - I think I found out later she was from this underground band called Holy, or something - and dumped a bunch of shit on Kurt. I think it was beer or something. So anyways, apparently she was some crazy chick that was trying to get Kurt to love her or something. It took him breaking three dates off with her, and just straight up standing her up on the fourth one, for her to get the message. She stormed out, and we all looked at each other for a few seconds, like - is anyone going to do anything? And then we all just sat there and laughed." - Dave Grohl, 2002

Television Interview, September 1992

R: So, what can we expect from your upcoming album?
K: It's certainly darker, and heavier, than our last album... We've gotten Gil Norton to produce it for us. He did the last Pixies album.
R: Alright. What about the writing style? I know from the demo we've heard, I'd agree with you that it definitely sounds darker. What inspired you to write like that?
K: I've been kind of depressed, that's all.
R: Oh really, and why is that?
K: I just did not expect us to get so popular. I really don't want to be this popular. I don't want our fans to be jocks. I wrote all those songs on the tour for Nevermind, when I was just thinking about all that.
R: Interesting. What's your favorite current album?
K: Probably Dry, by PJ Harvey. It sounds awesome.
R: Is there any truth to the rumors that you and Harvey are dating?
K: We've met a few times, but not at the moment, no.
R: Alright. What about Pocketwatch? Did you have anything to do with that?
K: No, that was all Dave. Me and Chris didn't even know he was recording it.
R: So, you and Dave don't really collaborate on songwriting?
K: No, not really. But I'm very excited for when the next album rolls around. We'll definitely write some songs together then. With this album, I already had all the stuff ready to go, when we heard about Pocketwatch. I didn't even know Dave could write music.
R: Now for the biggest question on everyone's mind - When can we expect the new album out?
K: Probably sometime next month, I'd guess.
R: Thank you for your time, Mr. Cobain.

"Sappy is a noticeable departure from the pop-like melodies of Nevermind, but it still maintains the rock elements that made Nevermind a truly great album. Dave's still beating the shit out of his drums, Chris is still laying down sick bass lines, and Kurt's still screaming like a dead man and making his guitar sound like an angry lion about to eat you. It's still Nirvana, despite what some other critics say. It's more reminiscent of Bleach, so, if anything, Nevermind is the odd one out. This album is heavy, no doubt about it. I recommend it to all you rockers out there." - Music Critic, November 1992

Television Clip, July 1993

I: "Are the rumors about canceling the rest of the tour true?"
D: "Yeah, it is. I don't know if I'm supposed to tell you this, but Kurt's got a baby on the way."

Television Interview, August 1993

I: "So, how did you come up with the name for your son?"
K: "Well, we named them after our favorite musicians. I liked John Lennon, and Polly liked Captain Beefheart."
I: "Aren't you worried that with a middle name like Beefheart will make him somewhat of an outcast? Kids may find that a humorous middle name."
K: "So what if they do? I grew up an outcast, and look where I am now."
I: "Now, to clarify, you've agreed to take a break from music and touring until John here is one year old, correct?"
K: "Yeah, I decided it wouldn't be fair to make Polly become a stay at home mom. She's only just got her first record out. If you stop, it's hard to start again."
I: "So, would you say you're a good father?"
K: *chuckles* "No, I'll just teach him to cuss and flip people off..."

Television Interview, August 1993

I: "What do you plan on doing during the hiatus? I know you released your own album last year. Any plans for another?"
D: "Yeah, I've got a few ideas rolling around in my head. I may do a little mini-tour while I wait for Kurt."
I: "Who would play with you live, and would you still playing drums?"
D: "I'll probably get Jimmy Page on guitar, Paul McCartney on bass, and what the hell, while I'm at it I'll have Roger Taylor on drums."
I: *pause* "Are you serious...?"
D: *laughs* "No, I'm fucking with you... I don't know, I've been hanging out with Jason Everman lately. He used to be in Nirvana. Um, who else... Hiro Yamamoto... Aaaaand... Shit, who would drum... Probably Steve Earle."
