Last Thursday marked 30 years since his passing In the wombl The Spirit of SerenityWhich prompted all kinds of articles, reviews and interviews about this three-decade classic. In the North American edition of Rolling Stone They spoke to the band’s biographer, Michael AzerradWith the historical director Danny Goldberg And with propaganda Jim Mirlis To review the songs and learn more details about the Seattle band’s latest studio album.
Michael Azerrad He is the author of the book Come As You Are: The Story of NirvanaThe autobiography, which was published in 1993, will be published in its expanded version at the end of October. In this update, the American journalist and musician mentions that the song “Very Ape” sounds similar to the Argentinian band’s song Processors. This is something that has actually been observed in these latitudes, and which was hitherto considered a myth.
On the podcast Music nowl Rolling Stonejournalist Brian Hiatt Take the opportunity to ask Azerrad about this amazing connection. This is what Azerrad responded to:A band called Los Brojos, who opened a big show for Nirvana in a stadium in Argentina in 1993 (sic), and who had a hit with the song “Kanishka”. If you listen to “Kanishka” and then listen to “Very Ape,” I think you’ll notice the similarity. But, of course, I think Kurt took a very basic idea and then turned it into something completely different.“.
Processors They opened for The Spirit of Serenity On the band’s only visit Kurt Cobain To Argentina in 1992 at Velez Sarsfield Stadium. If you take that into consideration In the womb Released the year after that demo, the supposed “inspiration” in that iconic tune makes more sense.
Last year, guitarist Processors, Gabrielle Grisitalk to the site Notify Regarding the memory of that party that went down in history, he said: “I remember there was a meeting in the locker room, and it was short. They had a Los Brujos album out, and “Kanishka” stuck with them. We also took pictures, I don’t know where they are.“.
Regarding the clear similarity between the songs, he said: “It is something that we cannot guarantee.” If there is a connection, link or inspiration about it, it is a nice thing to remember. It is a myth that arose on its own and has become alien to us. At the time, journalists who already had a Nirvana album called me and said, “Look, it’s very similar.” In music you have to have an opinion, and I hope that’s the case.
