Jason Everman
From Free net encyclopedia
Jason Everman (born August 16, 1967 in Ouzinkie, Alaska) is a musician who played with Nirvana and Soundgarden.
Everman joined Nirvana in February 1989 a second guitarist. He is listed as being second guitarist on Nirvana's Bleach, but did not actually play on any of the tracks. Nirvana founder Kurt Cobain said the credit was a token of thanks to Everman for paying a fee of $606.17 to record the album. The cash was never repaid. Everman toured with Nirvana in support of Bleach.
Everman left Nirvana in July 1989 and joined Soundgarden the following year as Hiro Yamamoto's successor on bass. In April 1990, he played on the band's cover of The Beatles' "Come Together", which appeared on an EP called Loudest Love. Everman appeared in Soundgarden's Louder Than Live home video and left the band later in 1990.
Everman's subsequent projects included a stint on guitar in Mind Funk. In September 1994, he left Mind Funk to join the Army 2nd Ranger Battalion and the Special Forces, serving tours in Afghanistan and Iraq.
A two-song Nirvana session featuring Everman on guitar is available, albeit in separate releases. A KISS cover called "Do You Love Me?" was released on a tribute album and "Dive" was released on 2004's With the Lights Out. Both tracks were recorded at Evergreen State College's 24-track studio in June 1989.
