Been A Son




The original version of "Been a Son" as recorded in 1989 contains a Bass Guitar solo. According to Steve Fisk , the Producer who helped Nirvana record the song, bass player Krist Novoselic did not like the sound of the bass solo. This could be why the song was later re-recorded with a guitar solo instead. Fisk also said of Nirvana and the recording session: "They really liked the studio's monitors because they were so huge-sounding. When 'Been a Son' was done, Kurt and Krist asked, 'Can we dance on the tables?' They jumped on one table and I jumped on another, and as we listened to the song, we rocked."

It was also covered by the band Manic Street Preachers on their b-sides, rarities and covers collection '' Lipstick Traces (A Secret History Of The Manic Street Preachers) ''.
