On the remake of the VaselineвЂ™s вЂњJesus DoesnвЂ™t Want Me for a Sunbeam,вЂќ Novoselic commandeers the accordion, as the dapper-looking, turtlenecked, pony-tailed Grohl mans an acoustic bass, all while touring member Pat Smear strums away on his classic, Buck Owens-style, red, white and blue guitar. Reportedly shot all in one take, the performance also finds bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl stepping out frequently from their perceived comfort zones, with Novoselic switching off occasionally to acoustic guitar. The highlight-heavy record also boasts impressive acoustic versions of several non-singles, including вЂњPennyroyal TeaвЂќ from In Utero (1993) and вЂњPollyвЂќ and вЂњOn a PlainвЂќ - both from Nevermind (1992). Reflecting little stylistic difference from its original 1989 studio version, вЂњAbout a GirlвЂќ kicks the show off with the bandвЂ™s signature gusto, while the setвЂ™s only two hits, вЂњCome as You AreвЂќ (1992) and вЂњAll ApologiesвЂќ (1993) help to enhance the recordвЂ™s вЂњfamiliarвЂќ-feeling vibe. Unlike most of the marquee musicians who appeared on the series, Cobain was less compelled to merely regurgitate acoustic versions of his bandвЂ™s вЂњgreatest hits.вЂќ As a result, much to the dissatisfaction of the networkвЂ™s вЂњsuits,вЂќ NirvanaвЂ™s MTV Unplugged playlist leaned primarily on deep cuts and covers - making for a uniquely authentic, organic effort. The 14-song acoustic collection has since sold in excess of five million units. producer Scott Litt and Nirvana, the performance was released as an official live album via DGC Records 25 years ago this week (November 1, 1994), nearly seven months following the Apsuicide of the bandвЂ™s iconic frontman, guitarist and chief songwriter, Kurt Cobain. Produced by MTVвЂ™s Alex Coletti, famed R.E.M. Recorded at Sony Music Studios in New York on November 18, 1993, NirvanaвЂ™s stripped-down appearance first aired on MTV on Decemas part of the networkвЂ™s wildly popular MTV Unplugged concert series. While all three titles Bleach (1989), Nevermind (1991) and In Utero (1993) remain relevant slabs, it can be argued that the brash brigade stood tallest and their songs shined brightest in their celebrated вЂњunpluggedвЂќ performance. The anointed messiahs of the decidedly un-glamorous early вЂ90s вЂњnew rockвЂќ movement, the three-piece Seattle-based collective, Nirvana, birthed three official studio sets during their brief run from 1989-1993. Then again, I canвЂ™t think of many grunge records that still thwack me either. Personally speaking, VERY few hair band records still sound fresh these days. Truth be told, the allure and luster of most all of them have faded over the years. Decades later, itвЂ™s interesting to look back and see what bands and which records from each era have survived the test of time. To deny that the anti-rock star scene of the early вЂ90s was no less pretentious and contrived than the aerosol-rock star scene of the late вЂ80s would be naive.
