Trivia
Nirvana refused to play their hit-song 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', because they felt that it has become worn out. Instead, they wanted to play 'Rape Me', but it was rejected by the executives of MTV. They later agreed to play 'Lithium'. As a revenge, the band played the first seconds of 'Rape Me' before changing to 'Lithium'. It was later revealed that, as soon as the studio heard the few seconds of the first song, they were about to switch to a commercial break. Because of the change, a pre-recorded skit featuring Dana Carvey (doing a parody of George Bush) commenting on the band's performance was rendered inconsistent, as it still referred to 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'.

Back when things were different in 1992 one very anticipated event was the MTV Music Awards! The show was lengthy as always but it had a different look and feel to it. With Dana Carvey being the host and have a little comedy with David Spade with Andrew Dice Clay and Ringo Starr. There were so many countless stars on this show. There was a big thunder storm the night it was on and the power went off a while and I never found out if My favorite band Metallica performed. James Hetfield and the gang are listed here but I am not sure. I know Pearl Jam, and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers performed and it was cool how Ice T looked. The show was good but the best thing that happened was Nirvana's performance! The performance was totally unpredictable! Kurt Cobain's looks was so cool and it seemed like he was making up new words in the songs Lithium. The performance was nuts! He just trashed his guitar like it was nothing! This show is so much different compared to how it is now. If you watched it back then I'm sure you know what I mean! If there is any way you can watch this very show on tape do so because it was cool!
