This video is a dream for me to watch, thank you SO MUCH. Also to answer some questions Steve couldn't: Kurt didn't want too many noise rock songs on the album so that's why I Hate Myself and Want to Die was left out (even though that was one of the original names for the album itself). As far as Sappy went, Albini has stated that even though it was a good song, he assumed it wore out its welcome on the band. Likely due to the fact it was written in 87 and the band had spent hours and hours trying to get the right sound. It was titled Verse Chorus Verse for a time, and that was also an early idea for an album title. It was given to the No Alternative compilation instead which released a month after In Utero.
@scottudell7202
4 жыл бұрын
I had also read somewhere that Kurt wanted Sappy to be absolutely perfect to him, and for some reason or another the version they cut at the In Utero sessions still wasn't "perfect". It's a shame, it's a great track (and so is the older version from 1990 to a lesser extent). It just for some odd reason wasn't good enough for Kurt.

If Kurt would have lived 2 more years. He would have been an amateur engineer and doing experimental recording & Along with working with the producers on the next album. I’m a musician and a engineer. Lots of people don’t realize the utero sessions were an awaking to him. He realized you could be experimental in the engineering side of things just as much as with instruments if not more. He fell in love with that idea because of this guy right here who showed him strange techniques that he didn’t know were possible.

If Steve doesn’t want to do something, or has an opinion of it, he makes all of it known. He’s just become more tactful about it over the years.
