Preparations for Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged appearance in November 1993 were reportedly tense, but that’s not how easygoing Meat Puppets songwriter and frontman Curt Kirkwood remembers it. One of his fondest memories, in fact, is of joking with Kurt Cobain just before the now-legendary performance.
“We were walking down towards the playing area, and [I was] telling Kurt that I liked to eat the gum off the bottoms of tables when I was a little kid,” Kirkwood laughs, recalling the absurdity.

The original lineup of alt-rock stalwarts the Meat Puppets unveiled a new song, “Warranty,” off the trio’s first new album in 24 years, Dusty Notes, out March 8th via Megaforce.
“Warranty” finds the Meat Puppets filtering a quintessential Western stomp through a psychedelic haze of mesmerizing guitar lines. The fog temporarily breaks when the track hits the chorus, where Curt Kirkwood sings with sun-soaked harmonies, “What you see is what I am/ Take a look, the invisible man/ Satisfaction cannot be guaranteed/ When you don’t know just what you see.
