Comments for Nirvana, Play The Fucking Guitar Man!!! (Live, 1989-1990)

this album was recorded at the seattle university for australia radio.

When Play the Fucking Guitar, Man!! was recorded in 1989 and 1990, Nirvana had yet to sign with Geffen, record the seminal Nevermind or become superstars. The band only had a small underground following, and its best songs ("Rape Me," "Come As You Are," "Heart Shaped Box," "Smells Like Teen Spirit," among others) were yet to come. But even in those pre-Nevermind days, Nirvana could be compelling. This album was recorded from the soundboards at the 94 Club in Vienna, Austria on Nov. 1, 1989 and at the Cattle Club in Sacramento, CA on Feb. 12, 1990, this bootleg takes us back to a time when Nirvana was still playing small clubs. The 13 songs recorded at the 94 Club boast superb sound quality, while the six songs performed at the Cattle Club find Kurt Cobain's vocals poorly miked. When Nirvana tears into "Negative Creep," "Sappy (Verse Chorus Verse)," "Breed" and the Beatles-influenced "About a Girl," you're hearing the work of a band that had tremendous potential (which it would realize in the not-so-distant future). Interestingly, the American audience in Sacramento isn't as rowdy as the Austrian audience in Vienna — in fact, the title Play the Fucking Guitar, Man!! was inspired by the ranting and raving of a seemingly drunken hooligan in the audience. Not essential but often exciting, this CD will appeal primarily to Nirvana's more devoted fans if they can locate a copy.

The title of this album sums up why Kirbbanes death was timely. Such degrading filth and perversion froom a truly fucked up druggy does no credit to humanity. Such a pervert deserved to die and he is no loss. Cunt!
