nirvana? new album? i swear they died years ago?
The rumours keep floating concerning the new album.
The truth is that nothing has been confirmed officially
yet, except that the release will be a boxset and it should
be released around the year 2000. So it will most likely
be a couple of years before this boxset comes out.
Drew Belko claims to have the following info from Krist:
It will include as much video as audio. There will be one
disc for every year the band was "active". One for 85-87, one
for 88, one for 89, one for 90, 91, and so on - until '94.
There will definitely be a *clean* version of "In his hands",
taken from a combination of the session on new year's at
Music Source with Craig M. and the 'Nevermind' sessions.
Krist added some acoustic guitar on it and it will be on the
91 disc. Supposedly, the real name of it is "milk made".
Well I don't know if this is true, but we will find out.
I personally think it sounds logical, except I don't think
it will contain a lot of video material. Probably 3-4 CDs,
and 1-2 videos. Full shows are probably not included, either.
Some radio station said the title of the boxed set should
be "The Cold Basement Tapes". I am just glad to see some Nirvana
back into the limelight.
Dave Grohl apparently revealed to "VOX", that a new album should be in the works --
"Last year's live compilation From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah was not the definitive word on live Nirvana material. It's not the last thing you're ever gonna see from Nirvana. There are reissues and remasters from The Doors and Led Zeppelin - those are ridiculous examples because those bands are totally legendary - but when a band comes to a halt, and hasn't run its full course, there is a need for more. Look at what The Beatles did with 'Free As A Bird.' You know what, I actually liked the melody of it." - Dave said.

would be a disc for every year the band was active; One for 85-87, one for 88, one for 89, one for 90, 91, and so on - until '94. I don't believe this is realistic, but its a possibility
