As many people will know this year is the 20th anniversary of the debut album from Nirvana who in case you didnt already know a grunge band that were very popular before Kurt Cobain died. Nevermind brought the band huge successes and I think it shocked them all a lot and none of them really seemed to want it.

The band was formed in Washington and Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic were in the band right from the start. Nirvana seemed to always suffer a problem with their drummer and the only one that really stuck around was Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) was around from 1990 until the end.

The first song that was released under the official name Nirvana was Love Buzz in 1988 and the first album Bleach was not released until the following year which was highly influenced by The Melvins. Cobain apprently got happier and changed his writing style from the anger of bleach to what people heard when Nevermind was released.

Kurt didnt like the fame as it meant he had to play for fans that hated him in his childhood and this actually really upset him.

After the apparent suicide that Cobain suffered Nirvana still remains today as popular as they were back in the day and newer albums are always being released with different remixes, live songs and b-sides.

If they were around today it is difficult to say if they would be into the newer instruments like newer drum kits but one thing is for certain the way in which they played their guitars would not have changed and the brilliant music would have carried on.

Try the Gibson Acoustic for a really good guitar experience and as a final point, Nirvana were behind the whole music genre of grunge so let us not forget it!
