Guest The Notorious CRD Report post Posted September 24, 2002 How many people have heard this? I think it's great and the fact that it sounds so modern amazes me. But what does everyone else think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted September 25, 2002 Oh, so this thing finally got leaked? I was wondering what was taking so long... or are you talking about the live version from The Sermon on the Mount? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Notorious CRD Report post Posted September 25, 2002 It's the official studio track. Apparently the remaining members of Nirvana have come to an agreement with Courtney Love and will release a greatest hits CD with this new track in lieu of putting out a boxed set of all their stuff. A friend of mine heard it on the radio this morning and immediately hunted down an MP3 of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lethargic Report post Posted September 25, 2002 A greatest hits album instead of a boxed set? What a terrible idea. They're both horrible. Who needs to pay 50 dollars for a box set when you can go buy all their CDs at a used store for less than half of that right now? Who needs a greatest hits when everybody that likes Nirvana already has those songs anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest godthedog Report post Posted September 25, 2002 well with a box set you can release multiple tracks that HAVEN'T BEEN RELEASED YET. that's the difference. Â there's lots of good nirvana stuff that didn't make it to the studio albums. 'verse chorus verse' is one of my favorite nirvana songs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted September 25, 2002 What more do people need of Nirvana? I don't need studio dribble drabble. I am sure 90% of people have everything they want. There are those who will go out and buy every bit and piece, swearing up and down it is great, and they will probobaly listen to the tracks once or twice and then never again......

'verse chorus verse' is one of my favorite nirvana songs. Well if you know how great the song is then you obviously have already heard it. Why would you need a box set then? They could easily just put all that stuff out on a CD and give people a whole CD of new shitty Nirvana songs that weren't good enough to make it on the albums.

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted September 25, 2002 From what I've heard about the box set, like most box sets, its geared more towards hardcore fans of the band than the average consumer. In which case, they'd appreciate stuff like that, since these are the types of fans that already collect every bootleg of rare Nirvana material anyway, so the chance to get some of that stuff in upgraded quality on an official release is a great thing for them. Â As for a greatest hits CD, you're right Leth, everyone already has the Nirvana singles on CD anyway. Also, Nirvana falls under the "not enough albums to 'deserve' a greatest hits" category in my opinion, which is why I think its a dumb idea, even with "You Know You're Right" on it.

Guest mesepher Report post Posted September 25, 2002 how are they going to make a greatest hits package out of 4 studio disks? This is really dumb. Nirvana fans aren't born everyday anymore, anyone who is into them already has the albums and has no need for a greatest hits disk. They're better off just releasing a disk of rarities because no one is going to buy a greatest hits disc when they already own all of the songs elsewhere.

Guest treble charged Report post Posted September 25, 2002 I downloaded the song, and it's nothing special. It's not bad, but I don't think that it's going to motivate a lot of people to buy a box set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted September 25, 2002 Let's say a box set was released and it had all of their studio albums--let's put the live one and Unplugged in there, too--plus two discs of rarities, outtakes, unreleased stuff, etc. Would any of you buy it? I don't know that I would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest treble charged Report post Posted September 25, 2002 That would be a shit load of money, though. I mean, you have 7 CDs there (is that right?), that's a lot of money for the average person to spend on music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know that I would. No. I have all that. Actually I don't have the live one and Nevermind. But I could get those for like 5 dollars used. And two days later the songs I don't have will be online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know that I would. depends on the rarities. if they go the 'peel slowly and see' route and stuff as many rarities as possible on every studio disk and set aside a whole other disk for rarities, i am there.  what i'd like to see on a box set:  here she comes now marigold (regular & acoustic versions) verse chorus verse oh the guilt you know you're right (live and studio) born in a junkyard d7 i hate myself and i want to die even in his youth in his hands moist vagina spank thru opinion  that's more than enough for a stand-alone disk, & i'm sure there's more good stuff i haven't heard yet. i know all these are available elsewhere, but the whole point of a box set is to get all the stuff in one place, & lots of these tracks deserve the cleanup treatment.

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted September 26, 2002 Peel Slowly and See is definitely the template upon which all box sets should be modeled. My only complaint would be the placement of some of the live tracks, etc. before the album cuts. The actual album should always, always be the first thing on the disc. Other than that, it's perfect. Nirvana seemingly has enough stuff that people haven't heard to support that, too. I kind of wish they were releasing a box set now. Â As far as the price thing is concerned, it shouldn't be too off-putting to the average consumer when they realize how much music they're getting. I got the VU box set for about $60 and I consider that a bargain. The only concern, as has been voiced here a couple of times, is that most people who would be interested in it already have all the studio albums. If they released the set in ten years, though, it'd probably be a smashing financial success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted September 26, 2002 how are they going to make a greatest hits package out of 4 studio disks? This is really dumb. In relation to this (sorta), Rhino recently put out a Soul Coughing "greatest hits" album. They only had 3 studio albums... from what I've heard the band had nothing to do with it though, and it was a contractual thing. Could be the case here, and probably is, since it sounds like this was the only way Courtney would let "You Know You're Right" be released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lethargic Report post Posted September 30, 2002 By the way, the press release says they are releasing a greatest hits CD AND a box set AND a rarities disc. Â So everybody can be happy. Whichever thing you wanted you'll be able to get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted October 1, 2002 I like the song alot, it's not one of the best songs they ever did but it's better then alot of the crap that gets major air time lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted October 1, 2002 I actually like YKYR a LOT, but part of the reason for that is that to me it doesn't sound like a Nirvana song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kibagami Report post Posted October 1, 2002 Nirvana and a GREATEST HITS album? Fuck that. Cobain'll be rolling in his grave when that happens....damn that wench Courtney Love. Perhaps she killed him after all. Â IT'S A CONSPIRACY~ Â S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cabbageboy Report post Posted October 2, 2002 I just heard the song today on the radio...to be honest I thought it kinda sucked and I'm a major Nirvana mark. That said, it was completely different from the preceding 3 songs that were routine safe modern rock tracks. Â It's the kinda throwaway song that woulda been ok on Incesticide but is kinda goofy for a single. Â That said, if there is a rarities CD I am there.

Perhaps she killed him after all. IT'S A CONSPIRACY~  S. *nods  Everytime I hear the song it grows on me a little more though and like I siad It blows all the other current hits outta the water.  The problem is that Nirvana fans have been waiting 8 YEARS for this song so they exepect it to be better than it possibly could be.

Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted October 2, 2002 I like it muchly. It's got the super-crisp production of Nevermind and the absolutey spot-on wrathful rage of In Utero's grisliest tracks. Steve Albini definitely got nowhere near this track...I really like this one a lot. Â I still won't buy the Greatest Hits, though. Scamtastic bitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted October 3, 2002 I'll buy it just because I feel the need to own everything to do with Nirvana. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cynicalprofit Report post Posted October 3, 2002 I love taht new song, she hates me, it so rocks...oh wait wrong band. Â Ill pick up the box set in the future, but not now. Im not a huge fan, but seeing as Kurts dead and this is the last chance to really fuck over his career, which from what i heard it doesnt, in time itll be mine. If i can find it used. It seems the longer Kurts been dead, the more i respect him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted October 5, 2002 I'm still too overwhelmed with the awesomeness of the song to dissect its lyrics...at first I was kind of disappointed with it, but I probably jsut overhyped it for myself and now it's fuckin awesome.. And also, I think it is a box set, and I would LOVE to buy the box set, as I'm usually terrible with buying CD's and shit and since all of them got jacked recently, and I have to rebuild my CD collection (which only consists of one Nirvana CD right now, Unplugged), I would LOVE the box set. But that'd be selfish. heheheheheh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheyCallMeMark Report post Posted October 5, 2002 I've actually heard it a ton of times by this point, and about the fifth time I "got it" (mostly cuz I figured out he was saying "pain" not "hey") and I have to say I feel it was Cobain's best track, top three at least. None of his songs send a chill up my spine like "You Know You're Right". I even like the ending when he's repeating "You Know You're Right" and twords the end they bring in the "pain" thing in over and over until it's the only thing left. I'm still pretty blown away by how great that song is right now. I dunno, but I think if Nirvana had unleashed one more album it would have been helacious. And whoever commented on how modern it sounded- you're right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
