Además de hablar del nuevo disco de Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl habló en la XFM sobre la reedición de “In Utero”, el último disco de estudio de Nirvana, que verá la luz el 24 de septiembre.

Reconozco a mi yo de entonces y recuerdo lo que era estar en esa banda pero es difícil creer que ha pasado tanto tiempo. Muchas cosas han pasado en esos 20 años, cuando pienso en “In Utero” y como era el mundo, como era mi vida entonces, es extraño.

De cuando salió el “Nevermind” en septiembre de 1991 a cuando Nirvana se terminó, realmente fueron unos pocos años y muchas cosas pasaron en esos pocos años. Echo la vista atrás a este álbum y viendo el libreto y las viejas fotos y escuchando canciones que no he oído en 20 años, todas esas rarezas y las demos, es una flipada.

Tras la publicación de “In Utero”, Nirvana grabaron algunas demos y un tema final “You Know You’re Right”. De aquel tema, recuerda:

Tuvimos algo de tiempo libre antes de la gira, y Kurt (Cobain) quería entrar (en el estudio) y hacer algunas demos así que dije, “Hey, ¿por qué no hacemos esto en el estudio que hay al final de la calle de mi casa?”. Y fuimos ahí y reservamos tres días. Kurt vino el último día y le dijimos, “Vale, ¿qué quieres hacer?” Y Kurt dijo, “Bueno, ¿por qué no hacemos esa canción que hemos estado haciendo en las pruebas de sonido?” Así que la ensayamos creo que, una vez, y luego la grabamos. Kurt hizo tres o cuatro tomas de voces y eso fue todo.

La reedición de “In Utero” traerá un tema instrumental inédito bautizado como “Forgotten Tune”.

According to The Pulse Of Radio, FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl was asked by XFM in the U.K. for his thoughts on the upcoming 20th anniversary reissue of NIRVANA‘s «In Utero», the final studio album by the band and second that Grohl played drums on. Grohl said, «I recognize myself back then and I remember what it was like to be in the band but it’s hard to believe that that much time has gone by. A lot has happened in those 20 years, when I think about ‘In Utero’ and what the world was like, what my life was like back then, it’s strange.»

He added, «From the time that ‘Nevermind’ came out in September of 1991 to the time that NIRVANA was over, it was really just a few years and a lot happened in those few years. I look back at this album and looking at the packaging and the old pictures and listening to songs that I haven’t heard in 20 years, all of these rarities and demos, it’s kind of a trip.»

NIRVANA did record some demos after «In Utero» came out and cut its final song, «You Know You’re Right», in 1993. Grohl recalled the sessions for that track: «We had some time off before a tour, and Kurt [Cobain] wanted to go in and demo some stuff, so I said, ‘Hey, why don’t we do it at this studio down the street from my house.’ And we went down there, and we had three days booked. Kurt came in the last day and we were like, ‘Okay, what do you wanna do?’ And Kurt said, ‘Well, why don’t we do that song we’ve been doing at soundcheck?’ And so we rehearsed it, I think, once, and then recorded it. Kurt did three or four vocal takes, and that was it.»

A previously unheard instrumental called «Forgotten Tune» will be among the 70 tracks included on the three-disc deluxe reissue of «In Utero», which is set for release on September 24.

The rest of the material on the jam-packed set will consist of remastered, remixed, rare and unreleased demos, B-sides, alternate takes and live recordings, along with two different mixes of the 12-song album.

The «In Utero» package will be issued in several configurations, including a three-CD/one-DVD «Super Deluxe» edition, plus two-CD, three-LP and digital versions.

Grohl also told XFM that FOO FIGHTERS have finished writing their eighth studio album and plan to record it «in a way that no one’s ever done before.» The disc is likely to come out in 2014.
