Commented EVILE lead
guitarist Ol Drake on his
band's contribution: "So the
cat is out of the bag; EVILE
have covered 'Lounge Act' by
NIRVANA for Kerrang!'s
upcoming anniversary issue of
the 'Nevermind' album.
"When we got the offer, all I
could see was fun to be had,
and what an honor it was to
be included. I was a big fan of
Nirvana when I was a young
teen, so it's an extra honor in
that way for me.
"I wondered what we could do
to the track to make it our
own, so we approached it like
we would one of our own
songs. That bass riff is brilliant
and I wanted to make it more
a core element of the track
guitar-wise and just metal it
up in general. I wanted to
respect the approach of the
song but also alter Kurt's
[Cobain] chord approach to a
style more suited to EVILE,
and that's a chug-athon!
"Hope you all enjoy it; we
definitely do."

SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR
frontman Corey Taylor had
the following to say about
what "Nevermind" means to
him: "I was a huge fan of
NIRVANA. I remember playing
'Bleach' for my friends and
telling them they were going
to be massive. When
'Nevermind' was on the verge
of dropping, I made all my
friends go out and buy it.
Never knew it would be that
big, but they deserved it.
"No pun intended, but never
mind the singles — the album
is deep as hell. From 'Lounge
Act' to 'Territorial Pissings' it
is the perfect blend of punk,
college, rock and pop. To this
day, one of the best albums of
all time."
