Can anybody tell me who sings the demo "Beans". is it Kurt or just a
computer-generated-studio voice overdub or something?

Just Wondering

The vocals on "Beans" are hardly computer-generated, as the song was
recorded by Kurt on 4-track. So, yes, that is Kurt singing.

my guess would be that the kc's vocals were made to sound like that by
taking
advantage of the pitch control knob on most four tracks. everything was
recorded at a slow speed and sped up as it was being placed onto another
tape from the four track..

Yeah, I slowed it down as well and it does sound a lot like Chris
singing. Hes got a real "unique" voice. It sorta sounded like his
singing in "Do You Love Me" or "The Landlord Is A Piece Of Shit From
Hell" in Montage of Heck 1. Anyway, Thats just my opinion. Who knows
whos singing in it!

HELIUM??? HYUK, HYUK, HYUK!!

Are you really *that* stupid???

Almost all 4-tracks - even bottom range ones - have a tape speed
controll, enabling you to speedup/slowdown your recording..

It's a fake anyway, I thought someone proved that ages ago!!

THANK YOU CHRIS!!! For the record, everyone listen up.....Leo & Chris
are telling you guys how Kurt made his voice sound the way it did on
Beans. Believe me, I know that this is right.

NOPE, no helium, just read LEO'S explaination. He is right & what he

Maybe BUT....think about it this way....YOU try to do such a high pitch
voice JUST by using the pitch control....believe me, it's also part of
it....not my fault if you're closed-minded....I have accepted that pitch
control thing but I also believe helium was part of it...ADMIT IT it
could be a possiblity!

Did you ever think I could have had some problems with my puter and that
it had said for the 2 1st ones that it didn't get through so I tried
sending it again but forgot EXACTLY what I wrote in them??? Have you
ever thought that was a possiblity cause that's what happened!

Well, I do remember someone posting something a while back, some
quote about the song (maybe even from Come As You Are), where some
lyrics from the song were quoted, and none of them are in the song.
BUT, and I just thought about this after I hit 'f' to respond...I have
a version of Beans with a little bit of other vocals before the "beans
beans beans...jackie ate some beans..." part. It's something about
how "I'm gonna beat you up." Does anyone else know about these
"mysterious other lyrics" that made the authenticity of what we know
as Beans questionable?

How can you be certain that it IS Nirvana? The voice is so screwed up
that it wouldn't be that surprising if it weren't them, there have
been plenty of "normal" sounding songs that were supposedly
Nirvana but really weren't (not to mention "Kurt's Home Guitar
rehearsals"). I'm not claiming it's not Nirvana, but I'm also not
claiming it definitely IS them.

Really? Other than the obvious son of a gun, jesus, and molly's lips I
dare you to name another sont that the Vaselines did that remotely
resembles it. In fact those 3 songs Nirvana covered barely resemble
it. Face it, it's a fake!!!!!! Somebody constructed it from the
description in CAYA.. why else did it 'appear' from thin air, and
without the other songs it was reputed to have been with... and don't

Yeah, but if you listen the pich is wavering.. this is a classic cover
up move when faking vocals because it destorts the voice in such a way
as to make it almost impossible to get back to normal speed - and
therefore difficult to prove a fake - like it is..

Yes I have. Your poin is?

I also have the Devo original (which I had well before Incesticide or
the radio 1 session).

Like I said, your point is?

The joke is on anybody who believes it is real, esp. those who favour

OK, have you listened to the " Home Rehearsals"? If you are seriously
into Kurt & Nirvana you know that there is NO WAY that that is Kurt's

you listen to enough of Kurt's guitar playing & singing you can hear

When did I ever say that the "Home Rehearsals" were real? I've
already said that I knew those were faked, the person who's
supposedly "Kurt" isn't even playing the right chords! What I
keep asking is "How do you know it's him playing 'Beans'? "
There's nothing distinctive about the playing in "Beans" to
indicate Kurt, it's just a simple strum of a couple chords.

>Hey Phil, I am not selling these things so don't keep coming at me

"Wise ass questions"??? You keep insisting that "All serious
collectors know that 'Beans' is real", all I've asked is "How do
you know that?" My sincerest apologies, from now on whenever
people in this newsgroup make a claim like that, I won't be a
"wise ass" and ask them to prove it...

The problem is that most *serious* nirvana collectors feel quite
worried when put on the spot about Beans. They want to believe it's
real, but they know it's fake. Plain and simple. It's fake, faker than

Proof?

!: Lyrics don't match those in CAYA.. Why should this be so if Azerad
*heard* the actual song.

2: Vaselines influence. Neither the lyrics nor the music sounds like
the sort of stuff the vaselines did. It does however sound like what
someone might imagine they sound from Azerads description of their
music, and also from the impression Nirvana gabve via their style of
covering other peoples material (see Devo, Shocking Blue 'My Sharona'
(by whoever), etc.)

3: If you slow down the vocals it does *not* sound even remotly like
Cobain. Before you try the old 'but it was speeded up so his voice is
destorted'.. even if you speed up someones vocals/voice and then dub
that onto a tape. Make a 5th generation dub of that recording (ie,
record it onto another tape, record that onto another tape, etc) and
then if you restore the 5th gen copy to the correct speed it still
*sounds* like the person it is. Beans does *not*. Further proof of
this is a demo my band made. We recorded backwards messages for our
demo. We used a 4-track, recorded the tape at normal (mid speed) pitch
then flipped the cassette over and played it backwards, dubbing it to
tape, and varying the speed of palyback. My sister came home for
christmas and listened to our demo, liked it but wanted to know what
we said backwards so I re-dubbed the message onto my 4-track (lost the
original recording) and played it at 'normal' pitch and the right way
round. I could *clearly* hear my voice (even though the pitch was
wavering) and also I could *clearly* hear the voices of my band mates,
and we *all* sounded like ourselves (with wavering pitched voices). We
didn't sound like someone else entirely - like Beans does.

Beans is just too conveniant. It fits in with an ideal rather than
fact - the ideal that the song *was* recorded, and that it's likely
that Kurt would have tried to disguise his voice to such an extent
that is is impossible to tell if it is really him, and sounds more
likely to be someone else entirely. I can't do it for a while coz my
sound card is screwed, but if you all want I will send out a WAV file
via email to anyone who thinks I am wrong.

Kurt has a very distinctive voice and anyone who is fooled by the fake
is pretty dumb. If I wanted to get some cash from gullible people I
would have done this type of thing because you all seem to have fallen
for it. For gods sake, why would the song be described as vaseline
like and not 'smurf' like.. Don't you think Azerrad would have
included that small fact??

and while this may true, until proved by a completely reliable

of that sort, i think we basically have to believe 'beans' is legit

That's what I meant in the post I did before last in the tread. Cris
retaliated with calls for 'proof', and to be honest I have about as
much *real* evidence against beans as anyone has for it. But the real
problem is that *real* Nirvana collectors *want* to believe beans is
real, but just cant really. As I said it's too conveniant, that
coupled with the audio evedence I presented, what other conclusion can
be drawn? It's a fake until proven real!!

A fake until proven real? I can't agree with you on that one....If that
was the case, then songs like "It's Closing Soon" would have to be
considered fakes...I mean, is there any definitice proof that that's a
"real" nirvana song? I know it's far-fetched, but still...There are only a
few people who can determine if a song is really by nirvana, so until we
get statements from them, let's just take everything as it comes; and in
this case, "Beans" is coming at me as a nirvana song.

Well Sub Pop had it on a song list by their artists. I can't remember
where I saw it, might have been at their site unsure but if it's on a
Sub Pop song list well then it must be for real!

Hell! I could pester Azerrad too, it's not like it's hard to find his
email address or anything -but I too don't really care. The thing
that anoys me though is how everyone takes it for granted that it's
real *just* because it is on bootlegs. There are countless fakes out
there that sound more realistic than beans (that instramental version
of Sifting, B&W blues etc.), but people just want to believe it's real
so they have another one over on the people that want to goet into
bootlegs.

I never said the song didn't exist.. Just that the 'helium' version is
a fake.. Totally unconvincing.

are you insane?!?! the instrumental version of sifting IS real! it's been
documented in official recording sessions....next thing that geraldo guy
is gonna say is that the demo of Mr. Moustache is fake "because the
whining at the end doesn;t sound like Kurt". gawd, what an idiot....

You are SO pathetic. i have something for you: "My favorite inside

If you like Nirvana and Kurt so much, then how do you feel about that? or
are you just gonna blow it off by saying that it's not from a real nirvana
song?

Oh and by the way,
Big Long Now, About a Girl, In Bloom, and tourette's are fakes too!
Especially tourette's, Kurt would NEVER do a song that was just
screaming and About a Girl is just some local Seattle band with a vocal
machine that sounds like Kurt.
In Fact anything before Nevermind was a fake because Dave wasn't in the
band yet. Unless Chad Channing was an alias used by Dave....
Hmmmmmm.... or Chad could've been a name for a drum machine.

And all those rumors about Dave Grohl in Pearl Jam ARE true!!
He was never in Nirvana! It was Dave Foster the whole time!
Dave Navarro and David Alan Grier were also in Nirvana for a time.

Look dude, I have been posting to this group since before the Joseph

basicly I think I know a little more about the general rule of thumb

I can't agree with you more. Are you really that dumb, or is this just an
act? Everything that you say DOES mean nothing to me....and according to
you, the same goes for everyone else. Why not just pack up your bullshit
hypothesis and get out of here! Accept the fact, that until Beans is
proven fake, it will still remain a Nirvana song. As of now, there is no
proof to contradict the validity of that song.

More like fecal retentive I suppose, but you're on the right track.

>Wasn't that you who also jumped into the discussion on making poopys?

Um, actually, I started that discussion. If you wish to psychoanalyze
me on the basis of my frequent references to feces, so be it. But I
think I just use it as an analogy to make other things seem more
absurd.

Well, when people post shit about Korn into the newsgroups I read, I

You feel a lot of needs, don't you Phil..
You aren't wacky, just a tired ol wanker.
Don't you realize that responding to X-post and off topic material
perpetuates it, and then your needs become out of control?

The same way the rest of us do, and look for the name "Michael
Azzerad" and see which e-mail address was next to it, perhaps?

Azzerad writes for ATN and does a fair amount of work online, so his
address isn't hard to locate at all. He is rather sick of receiving
Nirvana-related questions, however.

Why do you think I'd ask Azzerad about Nirvana? Don't you think I'd
rather ask him about his excretory habits?
