流派类型 Rock

Nirvana是一支80年代末诞生，在九十年代盛极一时的摇滚乐队。
90年代,美国的失业危机重新抬头,朋克乐在音乐界再度爆炸，西雅图的GRUNGE音乐
风暴引起了强烈的反响与轰动,Nirvana就是在这样的背景下诞生的。
灵魂人物Kurt Cobain 和前The Melvins乐队成员Krist(后来改成Chris) Novoselic
组成了乐队的核心。
乐队的鼓手和乐队的名字多次更换，在录制第二张唱片的时候固定了Dave Grohl的
鼓手位置。
Kurt负责主音和吉它，Chris负责低音吉它。
乐队名字的意思是：完美的天赐的福。
Nirvana在1988年11月推出第一张单曲唱片：LoveBuzz/BigCheese
1989年6月发行第一张专集：「Bleach」。从此，Nirvana从地下音乐乐队开始登陆
世界摇滚乐坛。
1991年4月，Nirvana和Geffen Records唱片公司正式签约。
同年九月，「Nevermind」发行，第一周在美国Billboard榜上排第144位。
1992年1月11日成为美国销量第一的唱片。这张只用了一个半星期就录制完的唱片开
头并未被唱片公司看好，事实证明，这张专辑在美国行情火爆，首批5万张迅速告罄，
一时竟出现了供不应求的景象。
单曲"痛苦心灵的气息"(SmellsLike Teen Spirit)的MTV频密疯狂的播放令乐队一时间
声名远扬。在1992年初，这首歌打入了美国排行榜的前10名。而「Nevermind」最终也将迈克尔.杰克逊(Michael Jackson)的《危险》(Dangerous)从专辑榜首位拉下马来。不多久，又打入了英国榜的前10名。仅到2月，这张专辑就已达到3000万张的销量。同时，乐队成员频繁地参加各类巡演、颁奖活动。在一次 "星期六晚间现场演出"中，他们仿效Jimi Hendrix在台上火烧吉他、捣毁器材，并且Novoselic和Grohl竟还在大庭广众之下相拥接吻，这使得现场的气氛达到了沸腾。
Kurt Cobain认为他们的成功只是凑巧。
“在美国至少有15支乐队比我们更好，他们想的话，他们也可以做到的。”Kurt的创作风格在这次录制中给别人留下很深印象，他经常在录制前几分钟乱改旋律和歌词。鼓手Dave说并不想做什么"失落的一代"的代言人，虽然舆论界这样称呼他们。1992年，Kurt娶了另一支地下摇滚乐队--"洞穴"(Hole)的主唱歌手考特尼.洛夫(CourtneyLove)为妻。
不久后宣布他们的孩子将于当年秋天降生。
但这时有传闻说这对夫妻都是毒瘾很大的海洛因嗜好者。而当Nirvana接二连三地取消夏季的演唱会时这种说法似乎已被证实了。Cobain则辩称那是他患慢性胃病的缘故。但当有人在报纸上撰文称洛夫在怀孕期间仍继续服用毒品时，舆论哗然了。Cobain和Love自然对这篇文章进行了严厉的批驳。1992年8月18日，Love产下了一个健康的婴儿，但由于文章的影响，根据洛杉矶儿童保护条例这个名叫弗朗斯.比恩.科班(France Bean Cobain)的女婴一出世便与父母隔离开来，直到1993年初Cobain夫妇才重获对她的监护权。Nirvana并没有因为取得成功就失落掉地下摇滚乐队的风范。
他们把以前Singles的Side-B的和一些还没发行过的歌收集在一起，于1992年12月15日，推出专集「Incesticide」。乐队成员表示这张唱片的目的是为了试试听众和电台DJ接受地下摇滚的极限。"不管是听收音机或者看电视MTV的歌迷，我确实想试试他们到底他们能不能忍受我们这张唱片。"较上两张专辑而言，《乱伦》更显古怪离奇。由于它无整体性慨念，所以对"涅槃"极端和矛盾的一面倒是有了充分的体现。该专辑获得了美国榜第39名和英国榜第14名的成绩。1993年九月，专集「In Utero」（子宫内部）发行。公司请来了著名的制作人Steve Albini为他们监制唱片。不巧的是这时发生了Cobain因服用海洛因过量而欲拔枪自杀的事件，这令Nirvana几乎崩溃，同时DGC对「In Utero」小样非商业化的处理表示极为不满。于是R.E.M的制作人斯科特.利特(Scott Litt)走马上任，接替了Albini的位置。它的成功无疑给处于内外交困中的"涅槃"注入了一针强心剂。这张唱片一经推出，即打上英美两地排行榜的首位。乐队本身技巧的日益成熟加上更为严格的制作，使这张唱片显得非常专业化。乐器的编排和混音的效果让人感觉到Nirvana已经不是以前那个喜欢在小型舞台表演的乐队了。
1993年11月18日，Nirvana应邀为MTV制作Unplugged演唱会。乐队三个成员极少有地坐在凳子上，穿着干净整齐，演出了一场比他们想象中感觉要好的演唱会。"我们演出前一天还在讨论会不会坐在那里象傻子那样，可是当摄影镜头慢慢摇过来的时候，感觉突然好起来了。""你知道，这种演唱会按道理来说不会好到那里去的，我意思是说，我们根本就觉得讨厌，可是结果还挺让我们满意，我们很惊奇地感到愉快。。。
一个月后，MTV在全美播出这场演唱会。之后，他们又赴欧洲巡演。但在罗马期间，Cobain又萌生了自杀的念头，人们还发现了他写好的遗书。1994年3月1日，Nirvana在德国慕尼黑的演出成为乐队最后的一次公开表演。回国后，Cobain被强制送往康复中心戒毒。但仅过了两天，他便成功地从医院逃脱。1994年4月5日，Kurt Cobain开枪自杀。3天后，一个电工在工作时发现了Kurt Cobain的尸体，尸体身边带有一封遗书。在葬礼上，遗孀Courtney当众口述了此遗书。1994年11月，Nirvana在MTV演出的录音作为专集『Unplugged in New York』发行。1996年10月，原乐队低音吉它手Chris在超过100个小时的演唱会录音里面挑出16首歌，作为演唱会录音剪辑。 『From the Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah』发行。
录制《MTV纽约不插电》
这档电视节目录制于11月份，5个月后MTV台开始反复播放它，那时柯本刚刚自杀身亡。今天看来正是涅盘乐队改变了不插电演出的模式与风格，在当时给乐迷以巨大影响，并引发了一场录制不插电专辑的风潮。
“如果你要问是什么导致了我们的那一场表演满布愁云”，帕特．斯密尔说，“那么我只能告诉你，是恐惧的原因。我们从未想过在那样一个地方演出，我们太紧张了。”
这场演出避开了他们的流行金曲《少年心气》，翻唱了六首歌曲，还请了嘉宾出席，所有MTV台的俗套都没有免除。从乐队的神情上可以看出他们当时很紧张，然而音乐拯救了他们，当他们专注于表演的时候，紧张感被清除了。
节目制片人说：“我们请乐队的其他队员都做了必要的演讲来介绍个人情况，唯独柯本没有，他一直在躲闪。后来我们就不再勉强他了。我们明白，他有自己的表达方式和态度。不过后来，柯本让我们为他拍了一个他微笑着的镜头，我想这个微笑里，他给我们留下了某个提示。5个月后，他就离开了我们。”
歌词：
About a girl
I need an easy friend
I do with an ear to lend
I do think you fit this shoe
I do but you have a clue.
I`ll take advantage while you hang me out to dry
But I can`t see you every night
No I can`t see you every night
For free
I do (x4 times)
I'm standing in your line
I do hope you have the time
I do pick a number too (too = two)(think I'm number two)
I do to keep a date with you (How do people date with you?)
Come As You Are
Come
As you are
As you were
As I want you to be
As a friend
As a friend
As an old enemy
Take your time
Hurry up
The Choice is your
Dont' be late
Take a rest
As a friend
As an old memoria
memoria
memoria
memoria
Come
Dowsed in mud
Soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend
A a friend
As an old memoria
memoria
memoria
memoria
And I swear
That I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun

And I swear
That I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun

Jesus Doesn't want Me for a Sunbeam (by the Vaselines)
Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are not made like me
Don't expect me to cry,
for wrong reasons, you have to die
Don't ever ask it out of me.
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die, for me.
The Man Who Sold The World (by David Bowie)
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World
I laughed and shook hishand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here
We must have died along, a long long time ago
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World
PENNYROYAL TEA
I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh enternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief
Sit and drink pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids
DUMB
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
my heart is broke
But I have some glue
help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around]
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And I have a hangover...Have a hangover
Skin the sun
Falkl asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
Polly
Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off of her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
{Polly said}
Polly says her back hurts
And she's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
On A Plain
I'll start this off
Without any words
I got so high that
I scratched 'til I bled
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The finest day
That I ever had
Was when I learned
To cry on command
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
My mother died
Every night
It's safe to say
Don't quote me on that
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The black sheep got
Blackmailed again
Forgot to put
On the zip code
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time
To make it unclear
To write off lines
That don't make a sense
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
One more special
Message to go
And then I'm done
And I can go home
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
Something In The Way
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's ok to eat fish
Cause they haven't any feelings
Something in the way
Ummmmm
Something in the way, yea
Ummmmm
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's ok to eat fish
Cause they haven't any feelings
Something in the way
Ummmmm
Something in the way, yea
Ummmmm
Plateau (by The Meat Puppets)
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work it took was fun
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some said it was in Greenland and some in Mexico
Some decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But they were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could
Oh Me (By the Meat Puppets)
if i had to lose a mile
if i had to touch feelings
i would lose my soul
the way i do
i don't have to think
i only have to do it
the results are always perfect
and that's old news
would you like to hear my voice
sweetened with emotion
invented at your birth?
i can't see the end of me
my whole expanse i cannot see
i formulate infinity
and store it deep inside of me
Lake Of Fire (by The Meat Puppets)
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again till the fourth of July
I knew a lady who came from Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
And she flew away howling on the yellow moon
Now the people cry and the people moan
And they look for a dry place to call their home
And try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils
Fight to claim them for their own
ALL APOLOGIES
What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies
In the sun
In the sun I feed as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
buried
I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqur scafoam shame
Sunburn with freezeburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
All in all we all are
Where Did You Sleep Last Night (by Leadbelly)
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
