The only really cool songs are DVD release where it's just live shit.. not like "Live! Tonight! Sold Out!" but like.. full concerts on DVD. That'd be great.
And OF COURSE it's not just Courtney making money off of this, a lot of people are making money off of it, I don't understand why people constantly debate this shit.. "it's just Courtney's attempt to make more money!" She's already a fucking millionaire, and so is pretty much everyone involved with Nirvana at all. So, get over it. Fuck.

Um, I don't know how true that is. At least I don't think she's currently all that loaded as one may assume. Courtney's many financial woes really began in 2002 when a judge dismissed her case against Universal Musical Group for fifteen counts of breach of contract because a seven year statute of limitations of artist rights was already expired. Based on this ruling, I'm not sure what she may be getting from the sale of the Unplugged DVD although it seems it must be something because obviously she must be entitled to some income going to the estate of her late husband, who owned, as it is well-known, a three-quarters share in Nirvana. In 2003, she lost several properties to foreclosure. She's being sued by a rehab center for never paying a bill for almost two hundred grand from 2003 and other similar lawsuits from various entities have followed. Courtney's mansion is rumored to be in foreclosure at this moment. If true, that means she never owned it outright. This year, she threatened to sue Saachi & Saachi and Doctor Martens for using a picture of Cobain in an advertisement. The agency and the shoe company decided to pull the ad, so she didn't get any money there either.
