Nirvana

Hey I'm Calob Hopson. This blog is about a well known band, obviously called Nirvana. To start off the lead singer and guitarist is Kurt Cobain. The drummer is Dave Grohl who also became a frontman for the Foo Fighters after Kurt Cobain committed suicide by a drug overdose. the bassist (base guitarist) is Krist Novoselic. This a picture of them.



On the left is Grohl. In the middle is Cobain. On the right is Novoselic.       

      One small fact about Cobain is, he dropped out of high school and became a janitor at that same high school he dropped out of. In the music video "Smells Like Teen Spirit" the dancing janitor is an inside joke for Cobain, Novoselic and a few others.

Some of my personal favorite albums are "Nevermind," "In Uterio," and "Bleach." 


Some of my favorite songs:
-Smells like teen spirit
-Come as you are
-Lithium
-Heart-shaped box
-All apologies 
-Breed
-Dump
-Polly
-About a girl
-Aneurysm


So in all, Nirvana is (in my opinion) an awesome band. And if you really enjoy them, definitely check out the Red hot chili peppers. And the Foo Fighters.
