30 years ago today Nirvana released the album 'Nevermind'.
It opened with the song 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' - which we have featured on a 'Great Intros of our time' last year. [reminder here
'Nevermind' was the first Nirvana LP with Dave Grohl on drums, joining founding members Krist Novoselic on bass and frontman Kurt Cobain. An unexpected critical and commercial success, by January 1992 the record reached number one on the US Billboard 200.
Here's the second single released off the album called "Come As You Are" - 
with the line "No, I don't have a gun" - ironically:

(On 8th April 1994 Kurt Cobain was found dead at his home in Seattle at the age of 27; police concluded he had died on April 5th from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head).
