VELVET REVOLVER's Duff McKagan, who watched the formation of NIRVANA as a Seattle native, told Launch Radio Networks
that the new NIRVANA box set, "With The Lights Out", is going to provide a payday for more than just the members of the band.
According to McKagan, other musicians who are on the box set — such as former members of the band and original SCREAMING
TREES drummer Mark Pickerel — will be seeing royalty payments, which will help some of them quite a bit. "You know,
there's some guys who got cut in on this," Duff said. "The original drummer from SCREAMING TREES, for example — he owns
a record store, he lives in a little, little town in eastern Washington. He's just about to go under, (and) some lawyer called
him and said, 'Well, you know, you're getting such-and-such percentage of this record,' and it's gonna change his life. These
guys have been musicians all their lives, and never made a dime. That alone is a great aspect of this box set coming out."
