Don’t get all sneering/ indifference for Nirvana. They were great. That a group as raw as them got as big as they did was remarkable. They were the real deal, and fame was a massive surprise to them.

Me neither.
It's the same old rubbish, once they got popular they were an easy target.
I watched the documentary earlier this morning and really enjoyed it considering it was a BBC documentary.
Good contributions too from everyone but I don't really get the inclusion of Jo Whiley(on anything)but aside from that I can't really grumble.
I actually forgot how much I enjoyed them around 30 years ago but to be honest it wasn't surprising considering they came from the same place I did. They just took it further in their own way. Isn't that what creativity is all about?
I felt a wee bit for the guy who was their dancer. He was a really geniune, honest person with no airs and graces unlike some of the types who go on these sort of shows who just want to name drop. Well done son.
I also dug out my old copies of Bleach, Nevermind and In Utero and I'm currently giving them a well deserved play after all these decades.
Oh, and good to see everyone in the doc referring to Nirvana and what they did as 'punk rock'. They were always a punk band to me with roots in the hardcore scene.
'Grunge'? Stick it up your arse.

Don’t get all sneering/ indifference for Nirvana. The more the merrier. Stale old-fashioned rock group with their most memorable riffs copied from Boston and Killing Joke. The best thing that can be said for them and their ilk was that they killed off the hair metal bands, but in the end they just replaced one type of boring noisy rock with another. Likesay, the real action at the time was the rave scene  |

Did your eyes meet over light sticks?😂
Seriously though, used to go up the Sub Club myself in the late 80's.
The music didn't interest me much but the women and the drink did.
Great times😎👍

I took very few drugs even then but I liked the odd toot and Microdot, which as you know gives you a thirst that a gallon of beer can't quench.
Also the mushies, different for some but after a while I wanted to attack the beer.
Mind you back then I was kinda a wild cunt. My 'post punk'👍

The man who was pictured as a baby on the cover of Nirvana's Nevermind album has revived his lawsuit against the band after his initial complaint was dismissed by a judge. Spencer Elden, who claims the photo constitutes child pornography, filed papers on Wednesday, meeting a deadline set by the judge to reinstate his case. He says the photo, in which he is pictured nude in a swimming pool, had caused "permanent emotional distress". Nirvana's lawyers have yet to respond. www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-59993244 |

US judge has dismissed a man's latest lawsuit against Nirvana over the band's iconic 1991 album cover which showed him naked as a baby.
Spencer Elden, 31, said his appearance on the front of the Nevermind record constituted child sexual abuse.
But the judge said he had left it too late to claim he had been exploited.
Mr Elden's legal avenues are now all but exhausted as he cannot re-file the case, although his legal team told US media he would appeal the ruling.
The lawsuit focused on a photograph of Mr Elden, which depicted him swimming naked in a pool towards a dollar bill pierced with a fish hook.
He argued that he had been unable to consent to the picture being used. He was seeking $150,000 (£130,000) in damages.
Photographer Kirk Weddle was among the defendants, as were former Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, as well as Courtney Love, the widow of late singer Kurt Cobain.
Mr Elden filed his case in 2021, arguing that he was still within his rights to complain about the decades-old image because it had continued to cause him distress and lost earnings into adulthood.
The lawsuit was dismissed and then re-filed in January.
The Los Angeles judge ruled on Friday that Mr Elden lodged his case well beyond the 10-year statute of limitations.
Welcoming the verdict, a defence lawyer said the case had been "meritless".
The defence had argued that Mr Elden had enjoyed being the "Nirvana baby", noting that he had re-enacted the photograph in later life.
Mr Elden's parents were paid $200 (£173) for the photo in 1991 by what was then a relatively unknown band.
Worldwide sales of Nevermind went on to surpass 30 million, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time.
