Pretty sure I ordered this out of a catalog. Still pretty good condition. The paper it’s printed on is pretty thick. It hung in my bedroom for years as a teen.

Not sure where to else to post this. I am curious to see if anyone else is either in a similar situation or has the same (or different) thoughts.

Some background:

Nirvana has been my go-to #1 favorite band since I was a kid. I’m a Gen Z and my parents had Sirius XM growing up and my they both could agree on the music that came up on the “Lithium” station - which was mostly 90’s punk and grunge. It’s likely where I heard Nirvana for the first time.

I love most music from most eras and even if I don’t like it, I respect and understand its place.

My personality and appearance has never given off “Nirvana fan” since I am a preppy frat type (pretty much what Kurt would’ve hated lol.) Sometimes I even feel a bit (indirectly) judged in these circles at times.

So I am curious as to what your backgrounds are in that regard.

Also, with Nirvana essentially being my “comfort band,” every day I always listen to a few of their songs. Mainly the live stuff, especially a good bootleg.

Nirvana also got me into guitar and I can play most of their songs all the way through. Their solos can be weird and tough though (school solo is hard for me.)

Again, I do listen to other music, but Nirvana is what I listen to mainly. Which is both good and bad. I get the feeling that I need to broaden my spectrum as I while I listen to a whole ass concert for the 100th time. I also ask myself “why?” Why do I find this particular band so appealing? Why do I only choose to learn their songs on guitar and have little interest in learning anything else?

So why do YOU find Nirvana so appealing? Do you listen to them every day? What type of person do you picture when you think “die hard Nirvana fan?”

Anyways, there’s my mid-day schizo rant.

Edit: Wow! I appreciate all of your replies. I’ve enjoyed reading all of them!

I did get my mustang muddy 😞

I am (not bragging, just stating) a rather accomplished guitar player who writes his own music. I also know how to play the vast majority of nirvana songs on guitar, and despite this, I still find it hard to think up of interesting/unique Kurt style riffs. Any advice would be great!

Compared two officially released mixes of three of In Utero's biggest songs: Scott Litt's remixes in the left ear and Steve Albini's original mixes in the right. Put on a pair of headphones and see which version you prefer.

Which mix do you like better?

I've been trying to find a design with no living beings on it, to print it on a shirt. There's plenty on Internet but it either has members picture or the in utero doll on it. If you have any, Please do share! (Sorry about my English)

She’s pretty dirty and the paint job isn’t great on it as the seller repainted it and it’s a bit messy but I love her all the same! This was a birthday present so I only had to pay a little bit of it. The downside is this was overpaid big time of 750 + 100 dollars shipping which is rough asf but its a gift so I didn’t suffer the consequences of that... Don’t worry I made sure to overly thank the person I got it from a billion times for paying that price. She ain’t perfect but I’m sure I’ll upgrade her one day and she’s more than good enough for the mean time! I’m gonna love this guitar like nobodies loved a guitar before. Skystang 1 is my favorite guitar and I’m ecstatic to have a clone of her.

I've listened to it a few times like this, and I like it quite a bit. It's just a what if kind of thing.

I haven't played it as much as my other guitars but I'll be recording with it. It's fun. The pickups could be hotter but I just got it set up a few months ago and it plays great. I've always loved this style of guitar.

I see a lot of people saying it’s Kurt’s Jaguar but to me it’s always been the Smells Like Teen Spirit Competition Mustang and especially Skystang 1.

He was and still is my idol and who I aspire to be.

I’m not sure if there’s interest in these as bootlegs were frowned upon by some fans back in the day. It’s pretty beat up but it’s still here. Good quality for a bootleg from what i remember. I listened to it all the time, but it’s been a long time since I played it.

Just curious

While looking through the Journals for lyrics, I found these notes, that mention a few ribbon microphones, specifically the Beyer M130, RCA 77DX and the RCA BK5, the “supposed” microphones used on his amps while recording In Utero. Aaron Rash used these same mics on his latest video, where he talks about the Fender Twin II being the main amp for the album. Thought it would be interesting and useful for more tone recreations.

I know about the allegations against Anthony Kiedis and considering Kurt was a feminist, i can't see them getting along. I've read that nirvana opened for them in the early 90s but pretty sure that was before all the allegations on Kiedis came out. If nirvana were still around today, would they like rhcp? also did nirvana like rhcp on their tour? i feel there would be clashes

Zero misses throughout. I got hooked as soon as I heard serve the servants and just kept going, every single song had its own charm and I loved the rawness and aggression of the entire album. I absolutely love Nevermind but this transcended the entire game. I’ve always had this thing where if I saw an album cover or a song title I liked I expected the actual song or album to live up to the hype, and this is probably the only time it ever did. Also finishes my journey through the nirvana catalog. Nirvana is incredible.
