Nirvana's version It is now known that Kurt Cobain , Nirvana's lead singer and guitarist, wrote "Old Age" in 1990 or early 1991, and later gave the song to Love (whom he married in 1992 ) after abandoning it himself. It was attempted during the ''Nevermind'' sessions, with a live instrumental take and scratch vocals being recorded, but Cobain never attempted formal vocal passes. This never-completed version was released on the Nirvana Box Set , '' With The Lights Out '', in 2004 , and on the band's compilation album, '' Sliver - The Best Of The Box '', in 2005 . At least one other version of the song is known to exist: a solo Acoustic home demo which first surfaced on the internet in 1999 . Its authenticity was challenged at first, but in 2004 , an MP3 of the demo was sent by the website ''Live Nirvana'' to "a panel of band associates" - including former Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson - which confirmed that it is, indeed, a Cobain recording. Erlandson believes it was recorded as a demo for Love, who then reworked the song's lyrics in time for the Fall of 1992, when it was first recorded by Hole. External links
