You Know You're Right Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
"You Know You're Right" is the last song by Nirvana to be officially released. It was first performed by the band in public in late 1993, and was recorded in a studio in January 1994, often with different titles ("Over the Mountain" and "You've Got No Right" being most frequently used) and with slightly different lyrics for every performance. Cobain's widow Courtney Love performed the song with her band Hole on MTV Unplugged with slightly modified lyrics. The song was introduced as "You've Got No Right".For years after Kurt Cobain's suicide it was available only as a bootlegged recording of the live version. In 2002, after much wrangling between Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, and the surviving band members, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic it was released on the Nirvana "best-of" album. Some months earlier a bootleg of the studio version had surfaced. Some radio stations played this, and were sent Cease-and-desist letters asking them to stop, until the song was released as a promo.
Aside from a few guitar and vocal overdubs, the entirety of "You Know You're Right" was recorded in one take. Highlighted by Cobain's distinct vocal style and raw, stripped-down guitar work, Novoselic's droning bass, and Grohl's dynamic drumming, "You Know You're Right" gave a final glimpse into a sound and a generation inspired by Neil Young's epithet, "It's better to burn out than to fade away".
