Nirvana's inevitable induction into the hall of fame in 2012
bleach was released in 89 so induction would be 2014 at the earliest.
They formed in early 1987 and played their first show as "Nirvana" in March 1988. Does this not count?
It's 25 years from when the bands first album is released.

Courtney said in an interview years ago that she offered Mark Lanegan one of Kurt's unrecorded songs and he said he didn't want to record it. It would seem unlikely that he'd sing with them as he knows it would have an effect on Kurt's legacy (he knows there would be too many haters, whether we like it or not!)

Maybe there will be a totally unexpected guest vocalist such as Michael Stipe? :?:
"I'll end up alone like I began..."
"You need the patience of like a National Geographic photographer sitting underneath the bush in a tent, trying to get a picture of zebras fucking or something for the first time." -Eddie Vedder
there is no way Dave and Krist would play with Courtney Love.
They should do what RUN DMC did this year and not play.
Which is what will probably happen. Although I still maintain Mark Lanegan would do a great job on some of their songs. Plus he was a good friend of Kurt's, so I wouldn't count it out.
You know what, that would be pretty amazing.
And I'll repeat what someone else said - so far, they haven't reunited as "Nirvana" with any other singer/guitarist since Kurt's death. I really have respect for them because of that, because there must be so much pressure on them to cash in on the name. Sublime's lead singer/guitarist died, and a few months ago they "reunited" with a new guy on vocals/guitar. Sublime wasn't nearly as popular as Nirvana, nor had as large an impact, but they reunited anyway.
Thanks EPOTTSIII!

I dont think they should and will play. They deserve to be in the hall of fame obviously but not every band is like Alice in Chains and wants to hire a new guy to replace the lead singer.
I alctually would be pissed if they played, just Krist and Dave, or Dave Krist and some other guy.
Kurt in many ways, was and remains Nirvana. When he died the band was never going to reform. And it never will reform.
When Nirvana is inducted, they will show some clips of the band in action from the archives, someone will give a speech, Krist and Dave will speak, and that will be it.
Some bands are meant to reform and reunite. Nirvana died April 1994.
I totally agree.....with the exception of the "Krist talking" part
Honestly, Eddie Vedder would be the only person for that job. I honestly think he's the only person Dave and Krist would ever consider doing it with. I seriously doubt Eddie would do it though, so no reunion.

Maybe they could get the Meat Puppets and do the songs they did on Unplugged.

That would be really cool, I think that's something Kurt would appreciate.

bleh, false idols. Nirvana isn't sacred, they wrote songs about beans, hairspray, and moist vaginas.
I think hearing Mark Arm or Michael Stipe covering Nirvana would be really cool.
Or maybe the Vaselines and the Meat Puppets could do something

Why? He's about the last person I'd expect to ever be considered to fill in.

Because he and Kurt's bands conquered the world as rivals and over time he earned respect from the rest of the band. I feel that out of Ed, you'd get the most honest, heartfelt, respectful tribute.

I'm sure Ed would be all of those things, but I imagine their first consideration would be getting someone that can do the songs justice. That's why Ed filled in for Jim Morrison... the voice sounded right and he was as close to Jim as anyone you could have wanted. But Ed sounds nothing like Kurt and it would kinda take the focus off Nirvana and make it more about the other people on the stage I think. I imagine they'd prefer someone that can sing Nirvana songs in the same spirit Kurt did, and that's not really suited to Ed's style. Also, someone that won't at all steal Nirvana's thunder, since the night is about them.

Something similar happened when Lou Reed inducted Frank Zappa. They had a love/hate relationship and Lou felt really guilty when Frank died so he volunteered to induct him. It was sort of strange and uncomfortable.

That's what I'm thinking... you don't want the personalities involved and the drama and backstory to eclipse the inductee's music. It should be about what Nirvana accomplished, not laying the rivalry to rest or about grunge as a whole.

Really?! Dave has FF and TCV. Krist is doing politics, writing a weekly column AND guesting on Flipper records. Where is this pressure you speak of??
You cannot replace someone like Kurt. What fantasy land are you people living in where you think anybody can be replaced? There will be no Elliott Smith reunion tours going around anytime soon because Elliott Smith is DEAD. There will be no Nirvana reunion shows EVER because Kurt is DEAD.
AIC chose to get a new singer for whatever reason. They were more of "band's band" anyway unlike Nirvana where Kurt did 99% of the writing, so I can see how they might have entertained the idea of continuing on. I wholly disagree with replacing Layne but so be it. I'd even go so far as to say they shouldn't use the name AIC anymore but I am a hard-liner. Maybe "World's Greatest Alice In Chains Cover Band" but not Alice In Chains. Shit, Led Zeppelin called it quits after their drummer died. That's respectable.
I won't even get into Lynyrd fucking Skynyrd. I think I'm next in line as a replacement guitarist if another one of them dies...
p.s. this is all of course my opinion and should be viewed as such. thanks for reading!

I dunno, I don't think I've ever read a single bad word written about Mark Lanegan, he's a very respected artist. He sang with AIC, so I don't see why he wouldn't guest on a song or two with Nirvana, if he were asked.

And then reuinited to make gagillions playing that gig in London not long ago. Don't forget the Who touring for years after Moon died. AC/DC. Black Sabbath. Van Halen. Many bands manage to move forward together without original members.
... I preferred Hole's version of You Know You're Right to Nirvana's.......
As much as I think Courtney is a complete tool, I have to agree with this comment. I was so disappointed with the Nirvana version after hearing Hole's take on it
Nirvana's version is so much better it isn't funny.
Agreed. :twisted:
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
