Verse Chorus Verse is an unreleased live album by the American rock band Nirvana, scheduled for release on November 1, 1994. It was to be a double album comprising a CD of live performances on one CD and Nirvana's MTV Unplugged performance on the other. It was canceled as Nirvana members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl found it overwhelming to compile material so soon after the death of Kurt Cobain earlier that year.[1]

The subsequent track listing differs greatly from the track listing that was eventually released on 1996's From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah.[1] The title of the album is a sarcastic acknowledgement of the band's standard rock-song format and also comes from a Nirvana song of the same name that appeared on 1993's No Alternative benefit album.[2] Concept art for the album by the band's art director and designer, Robert Fisher, was posted online in late 2019.

On December 31, 2023, a copy of the album was uploaded online to filesharing site, WeTransfer.[3][4]
