I know that the guitar backing track forum has a few Nirvana tracks. Including one of Teen spirit with vocals. The problem is you have to be a member and as long as you have >100 posts you only get limited downloads. If you're lucky some BT's can be found as attachments inside threads, in which case no rules apply.

As for a BT of Acrobat, you'd probably have to do make it yourself.

i've just got a keyboard, and when i figure out how to use it properly I'll be making some backing tracks, hopefully Stuck, ISHFWILF and Acrobat

Now that I've just listened to Acrobat it seems do able. No keyboards (which I don't got), just drums, bass and guitar. I might give it a go as well, although programming the drums is going to be a bitch.

no i dont mean making it, i mean where somebody has removed the guitar and vocals from a song so the bass, drums, keyboards and occasional backing vocals remain

you don't normally get files like that. your best bet is to get backing files made by people in thier homes or from guitar mags etc

You are fooled by the quality of some tracks there, which should be a compliment to whoever made them. But they are most definately ALL fanmade. Which is why it probably hasn't been shut down by the U2 management. Cause if you electronically can filter out guitar and vocals, you are still tampering with copyrighted material and lawyers would descend on you like vultures on a dying man in the desert for offering copyrighted material on the internet.

Plus, why do you think backing tracks have no vocals? It would be more fun to play with vocals, giving it a more realistic feel. Its because while you can play the drums and bass easily, its extremely hard for somebody to recreate the vocals as the vocalist did them.

well they sound pretty decent to me!

 

[Muad'zin]

Of course they do. Thats why I like them to. Homemade does not always have to be bad.
