Breed is used in the commercial. pretty sad..........


pretty pathetic seeing as how unless kurt went through a drastic change of perspective he'd never do this.


i'm not really against songs being used to sell products but nirvana obviously isn't a band that was into that sort of thing.



45 seconds till someone bashes nirvana to compensate for their small penis.........

    I haven't owned a baseball game since RBI baseball for the NES. So I'm going w/ 2k7. It looks really good and NBA 2k7 was good this year. I'm hoping they stay on a roll.

    I've always heard the show was a lot better than the 2k series. I've never owned either. I've always gone for the EA series but now that they've eliminated those...i'd probably pick up the show.

    The soundtrack to the game has some pretty good rock songs. It is the first time they are doing this where i don't think there is any rap music on the MLB game.

    No one went ape shit when mother love bone's stardog champion was on NCAA a couple years ago.

    It is kind of cool when you play a game to have some good music to it.

    sooner or later you will be able to have your own soundtrack that you keep on your game which will be so much better.

    Oh and not to mention one of kurts idols the pixies/ frank black are on the same soundtrack so maybe he would have been like what the fuck if Frank can do it so can we.

    Here is a list of all the songs

    311 - "Down"

    Bishop Allen - "Middle Management"

    Cities in Dust - "Emergency"

    Death From Above 1979 - "Little Girl"

    Dixie Witch - "Set the Speed"

    Editors - "Munich"

    Five Horse Johnson - "I Can't Shake It"

    Greatdayforup - "Man's Ruin"

    Les Savy Fav - "Hold On To Your Genre"

    Nerf Herder - "High Five Anxiety"

    Nirvana - "Breed"

    Sublime - "Summertime"

    Tapes 'n Tapes - "Insistor"

    The Jealous Sound - "Naïve"

    The M's - "Plan Of The Man"

    The Pixies - "Mr. Grieves"

    The Specials - "A Message to you Rudy"

    The Stooges - "I Feel Alright"

    The Thermals - "A Passing Feeling"

    The Walkmen - "The Rat"

    Wolfmother - "Woman"

    That's a pretty good soundtrack. It almost looks like a FIFA soundtrack. Too bad the FIFA games suck(for now)

    2K sports games are awesome. NHL 2K7 has a pretty sweet soundtrack from Sub-Pop artists.

    I'm hoping to pick up the 2K7 game today, it looks light years ahead of The Show. Does anyone have it yet?

    There's nothing wrong w/ putting stuff in the game. I think the original poster's contention was using Nirvana's "breed" in the commercial had nothing to do w/ the game and didn't really fit so why use it.

    The Show was a great, great game last year. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be getting that again this year.

    That's what I got out of it. If the song actually had a purpose in the game/commerical, made some kind of correlation, it'd be fine.
    What happened was like putting I'm Open in it just because of the song title (actually I'm sure I'm confusing the sport where that phrase is said, but you get the principle).

    yeah man, this really goes against what nirvana was all about. i am so upset. how dare a baseball video game use such a sacred song!

    Major League Baseball.
    and 2k is the videogame software company

    I think the real prob. the original poster had was that the song was used in the commercial for the game as well as actually being ON the game...

    oh well. creative control dies when you do.

    Why don't you realx a little buddy? The only one taking their post in this thread seriously is you.........

    I just thought a Nirvana song being used in a TV commercial to sell a product was an interesting conversasion piece for this forum.

    fucking Courtney's a fucking whore who will do anything for money. its only a matter of time before there's "Nirvana night" on american idol.

    her ownership of Nirvana's songs reminds me of how Michael Jackson owns the Beatles songs and lets shitty cover versions of songs like When I'm 64 and Goodday Sunshine be used in commericals.

    Speaking as someone who couldn't make it through a single game last year without it freezing, I'm pleased to report that I have had absolutely no issues so far and am totally digging the game.

    As for the song, does anyone else think that she chose something pre-Grohl just to avoid any additional royalty issues with him since they hate each other (not that he needs it or anything)? I mean I don't know the details but I would imagine that even though she has the rights to do whatever she wants with the songs, that the musicians who actually played on the song would get paid something if the song were to be licensed.
