Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has been sharing his thoughts on the upcoming 20th anniversary reissue of Nirvana‘s In Utero,
It became the final studio album by the band and the 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.”
- 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 24th.
- 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.
Dave has also been saying that the Foos have finished writing their eighth studio album and plan to record it “in a way that no one’s ever done before.”
The album is likely to come out in 2014.
