David bowie was beside himself, according to the joe website, when he learned that nirvana covered his song, saying, i was simply blown away when i found that kurt cobain liked my work, and have always wanted to talk to him about his reasons for covering 'the man who sold the world'. at the time that nirvana recorded unplugged, david bowie.

‘the man who sold the world’ is about the day bowie met satan when he sold his soul.

Even though it contained no hits, the man who sold the world, for most intents and purposes, was the beginning of david bowie's classic period.

Working with guitarist mick ronson and producer tony visconti for the second time bowie developed a tight, twisted heavy guitar rock that appears simple on the surface.
