Nirvana - Bleach

Nirvana.  Saw them live in Dec. 1993 only 5 months before Kurt tragically took his own life.




I have some great memories of Nirvana.  They were the first band I ever got to see in concert (and it was a great gig, with the Melvins and Breeders opening!  Totally awesome!)





But I digress, back to 'Bleach'.  This is easily Nirvanas heaviest album.  It is totally influenced by Heavy Metal and in fact reminds me quite a bit of early Soundgarden too.




But since it is so heavy, it has little mainstream appeal compared to Nirvanas later records.  So sometimes it does not get the attention it deserves.  However that may be changing. as 'Velvet Revolver' recently covered 'Negative Creep'




Wow.  The Seattle bands and the L.A. bands used to feud quite a bit, and it is nice to see an L.A. band give a hat tip to Nirvana like this.
