Butch Vig Remembers the Making of Nirvana's 'Nevermind,' 25 Years Later

I like the story of how the guys from Nirvana and the guys from Europe lived in the same apartments while recording.

nice article. takes me back to being 13 and hearing Teen Spirit which just blew my head off.

it sounds they really were a band of contradictions, which he mentions a bit - poppy hooks vs personal pain, professionalism and drive for success vs a kind of punk rock attitude.
