Synopsis
In 1991, Nirvana exploded onto a largely sugar-coated music scene that had no mind and no substance, leading the way for many early 1990s alternative bands and changing the face of popular music forever. This programme examines the life of Nirvana frontman, Kurt Cobain, from his smalltown upbringing to his tumultous bout with fame and, finally, his death in 1994.

Customer Reviews

don't even think about it
I am a huge Nirvana fan. I have all of their music (albeit missing one single). This is probably why i was duped into buying this sub-standard "music dvd". For a start it features no music whatsoever and features crap intreviews with drug addicts who have at some point in their life had a meeting with Kurt. I don't want to talk anymore. I'm off to cry......

RIP off
This is possibly the worst music "documentary" I have ever had the misfortune to purchase. Cutting the actual clips of the band up and joining them up I think there is approximately 7 minutes of band/Kurt footage. The rest of the DVD is filled with interviews with opionated people who "knew" the band, fattened up with completely irrelevant thoughts from fans. Like erm... Nirvana Rocks!... erm...

This isn't a tribute as such. It's more like a camcordered session of pub gossip by a bunch of people who touched upon the band at some point. With the obligatory music journo interjecting with pure muso dribble.

Listening to their music is more of a Tribute to the band than this "cashing-in" cheaply made cack!

No wonder there is a statement at the very beginning stating that no Nirvana music is played throughout this DVD. That alone, set me up for what I was about to watch, I got what I expected, and wish I hadn't shelled out good money for it.

I wish I could rate it with a zero star.

A bit dissapointing
Don`t buy this if you`re expecting to hear some Nirvana music. It has no songs at all by Nirvana. Some parts are quite interesting but all in all; don`t waste you`re money!
