Book ID/图书代码： 05793015B77477

English Summary/英文概要： Nirvana FAQ traces the band from its genesis to its end. Founded by friends Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic, Nirvana had a rocky start and a succession of drummers, but by the end of 1990, its debut album, Bleach, had garnered international attention and the groups sixth drummer, Dave Grohl, had joined the fold. Following its mentors Sonic Youth to Geffen Records, Nirvana had hoped for modest success. Instead came unexpected wealth and fame on the strength of 1991s Nevermind and its iconic, breakthrough single Smells Like Teen Spirit. Success didnt sit well with Cobain, who began to numb the stresses of rock stardom with heroin. Despite 1993s hit album In Utero, Cobains unhappiness became increasingly apparent. His suicide in April 1994 shocked the music world and put an end to a band at the height of its popularity. Nirvana FAQ answers such questions as, What guitar teacher did Cobain and Novoselic have in common? Where did Cobain record his first demo? What was the cause of his first arrest? How was second guitarist Jason Everman hired and fired? What was the name of Grohls first band, and where did he meet Cobain and Novoselic? Who is Teen Spirit about? How did Nirvanas war with Guns N Roses begin? And more.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 槃乐队（Nirvana）是一支美国的摇滚乐队，于1987年在华盛顿州的阿伯丁组建。通过他们专辑Nevermind里的Lithium和Smells Like Teen Spirit两首作品打入美国主流音乐。由于当时主流媒体的不友好，他们所处的音乐流派被称为垃圾摇滚（Grunge，原本是美国俚语，有乏味、丑陋和脏乱等讽刺意味，事实上涅槃的音乐风格是由朋克和另类摇滚发展出来的一个分支）。与他们在西雅图的同类爱丽丝囚徒 (Alice in Chains)，珍珠果酱（Pearl Jam）和音园（Soundgarden）一起，涅槃乐队把大众的焦点聚集到Grunge音乐上来，使Grunge音乐在20世纪90年代中前期在广播和音乐电视的播放率上占据了统治性的地位。
