Nirvana - Rape me (Home Demo)

[Yanksuk2007]

i love this version, although im not a HUGE fan of how it ends, the lyrics and rawness of it make it beautiful! :D

[lalaloveproductions]

I haven't heard this version in years. Completely forgot how raw it was.

[0oguitarhippyo0]

for some reason everytime i listen to this song i think he was having a breakdown when he recorded it

good song though, kurt's a baws

[8492kashmir]

better than the album verson

[ryancrich]

i love this demo

[Angellc619]

its crazy that no one really knows about these home demos this just opened me up to a whole new world of music

[DAISYakaPeggy]

ggggggggggg looking for this for AGES! <3

[TheChemicalMurderX]

Kurt's voice looks so sexy in this song *_*

[Grunge4ever1993]

Why couldnt they have kept the song like this when they recorded it.......

by the way i love the album version too and Happy 44th kurt!!!!!!!!!

[buujack]

where can i download this?

[hhae96]

@buujack sliver: the best of the box. track 17 (:

[ThePunkjeff]

@hhae96 also in with the lights out

[mutemathfan321]

@buujack video2mp3

[GMSamuelRhine]

@buujack mediafire. you can probly find the whole album

[mutemathfan321]

i like this version better then the others

[sinntex1337]

@mutemathfan321

I agree with yoi

[mutemathfan321]

@sinntex1337 yay im not the only one!!!

[Lenjaful]

Like this song. But you guys are totally getting mad about the whole KURT IS GOD thing. I know you guys don't say that literally, but it sounds like it.

[supamanxxx]

@Lenjaful Because to quite a few people Kurt is like their god. Someone they absolutely are crazy about, Loved what the man did and achieved, his talent was amazing. And hey, At least Kurt is/was real. Don't take it so harsh, People love the guy.

[Macu111]

Those 5 unfortunate people who pressed dislike probably were raped and now, misunderstanding the meaning of this song, express their hatred towards the unknown.

[SuperSushi7]

Nirvana's songs tend to have more meaning in the demo versions, its like Kurt dumbed them down for the albums to sell better among the brainwashed fans of the music industry...

[NirvanaBassRocker]

@SuperSushi7 either that or the record label changed the the words to their own

[judyleasugar97]

This song sums up what Courtney Love did to him.

[shortypie90]

KURT IS SO SEXY!

[MzBabyFirefly]

Beautiful soul. He left great things behind. Not only this- but his beautiful daughter too!

[maciek14ba]

Peace all. Well Kurt will live as long as we remember Him. This version is awsome ! But could any1 tell me a lyrics for this one ?

[ke228]

Great version, love the guitar.

[giancahh]

does anyone have the lyrics for this version?

[greenskeeper3000]

This song is better than rape.

[MMMAAASS]

Rap me  best version Ever

[MrJacksonrobert]

This is hands down the best version of rape me. I wish kurt would have kept these lyrics in the album version

[KurtzCobain1]

single one and perfect

[alexthemod1]

this is the closest we'll get to kurts thoughts, why isnt anyone making a big deal about this version? the lyrics?!?! "...before this can take me"...and his "embarrassment". its amazing.

[posc323]

i love all there demos more than there famous hits

with the lights out box set is the best

i remembered listening to the whole box set outside from my ipod =]

[CanadianChronic2121]

Kurt Unplugged :D

i perfer his soft side.

alltough alot of the time i do enjoy his loud side.

[posc323]

yeah i agree but some of his songs start soft to loud like "here she comes now" and "D-7"

[odiumimbues]

dont forget D7 credit goes to wipers.

here she comes now credit goes to Velvet underground, however.. kurts version kicks their ass.. because they lack the atmosphere.

[doodlin17]

I love Nirvana's home demos,it shows you where there great songs come from.

[CaribbeanRyda]

This isn't real. Any real Nirvana fan knows that the demo for rape me has Kurt's daughter crying in the background, which I didn't hear.

[oneUNITED7SS]

Hey, douchebag. It's a home demo. You'll find many more of them around youtube. Just type in Nirvana Home Demo in the search bar, and you'll see.

[Vindicta15]

That was the band demo. This is Kurt Cobain's solo acoustic home demo. You can find it on "With the Lights Out" as well as the band demo.

[wiisports505]

this is the first demo. THE HOME DEMO FOOL

[XxXLindseywayXxX]

i know i think this one was the second one

[skate26boarder]

thats the band demo which is related to this video...this is just Kurt on an acoustic

[XxXLindseywayXxX]

this doesnt sound like kurt

[wiisports505]

you dont sound like kurt

[TENNESSEETITAN72]

This is fuckin amazing

[only4kill]

Porque a vontade é imensa

e a saudade do acto é enorme

Viola- me, Viola-me acaba com

esta ansiedade e revolta que é a Fome.

[weowtimmmy]

i;m not a lying whore

I'm not a concrete horse

im not a man thats good

I'm not a shmorgasboard

[cockjockey27]

this song is better than sex

[CLAYDUDES1]

@cockjockey27 kuz its rape

[greenskeeper3000]

Fookin Boombox! KIss my arse!

[07102592]

i actually prefer all the home demos and unplugged stuff to their actual albums.

its even better.

[wtfisflapdoodle]

I agree.

[Confinedtobedposts]

fucking creepy.

[LeXiiGiiRl21]

Luv Both Thiiz &&Tha Oriigiinal Version .. Wiish ii Kuld Undastand All Tha Wordz Tho .

[firstbillion]

Wsh ah cud undstd your wdz.

For fuck's sake, what happened to the english language? The very same language Cobain used?

[LeXiiGiiRl21]

My Bad .. Itz Like Slang ... Or Sumthin Like That .

[Entity13Productions]

hahahahahaha Slang? "I Dont Pay Atention In school"

[HandGunHarmony]

thats why he cant understand the words cuz he doesnt know english....

[steve85673]

love it

[joetaff]

this is amazing, as far as I'm concerned, this is just as good as the version that was released.....genius

[germzaregodz69]

i cant hear frances crying

[Cladiel]

it's in the background of another version, look up: "Nirvana - Rape Me (Band Demo)", from Sliver the Best of the Box

[urieway23]

Can someone send me the lyrics please?!

[Jihadism]

You can hear Frances crying in the background. She was sitting on Kurt's lap while he recorded this

[valoandlovesaidno666]

This song means so much it was the first song i have ever heard by Nirvana and as soon as i heard that song that made me love them i love the sound his music he inspired me to play guitar. R.I.P Kurt Donald Cobain 1967-1994.

[NirvanaZeppelin80]

your going to hell when you die, hope you know that buddy

[Lighterfluid9259]

yeah bammy your a douche

[NirvanaZeppelin80]

my dick is bigger than yours is.

[LitaniTilSatan666]

your going to hell cause you like Led Zeppelin! such devil music should be banned!

[NirvanaZeppelin80]

Devil Music? It's Zeppelin Not Dimmu Borgi or However it's spelled.

[LitaniTilSatan666]

i was joking.... zeppelin are great.

and dimmu borgir are a bunch of posers.

[Tsuta]

lol

[davidholmes282]

Ingenious

[rubydell6192]

nirvana is so awsome

[mitch4595]

greatest band ever....

[urieway23]

i need lyrics pronto!

[greenskeeper3000]

TAPED ON A FREAKIN BOOMBOX.Come on unreal.

[OrelEldadi]

amazing- i think its so came from his heart- thats what making it be unique

[pokeureye21]

i don't like this version....i cant really feel the energy like the one onn In utero

[primussux]

Thats cool man but I think its way better

[valoandlovesaidno666]

I love both versions of this song i wish was around when kurt was performing he is my inspiration too my guitar playing.

[egbert107]

i like this version better. but its pretty sad when u read the lyrics.

[Metalwarlock78]

RIP bro \m/

[ericmeloman85]

k how many times do most of us nirvana fans have to tell other nirvana fans KURT DIDNT KILL HIMSELF. go to the website s s h e p . c o m. unspace it and then go kurt cobain death on the top.

[KamiMetal]

He did too. Read the book "Heavier than Heaven" written by Charles Cross. Over 400 interviews, 4 years of research. All the proof is in that book. And why did neither the family or the cops pursue it as a murder? Hmmm? Because they knew it wasn't. He attempted suicide month before, talked about it since he was 14. He said he had "suicide genes" (great grandfather & 2 uncles). He was depressed.

[brandons3]

i wish i was there next to kurt listening him playing this in acoustic, its a master piece cuz its totally diferent from the original except for the rhythm and i guess it sounds even better cuz sounds like hes improvising the lyrics

[tsandtss]

If you honestly believe this song is a masterpiece you have seriously delusions about music. A masterpiece would constitute as something such as Revolver, SPLHCB, Pet Sounds, SMiLE, Ect. Not "Rape Me"

[tsandtss]

minus the (ly) on seriously.

[ShCruzZ]

humm fine .. if you saying so who am i to disagree ¬¬

[caaaitlin88]

I think all those are masterpieces and I personally like them all better but it's comparing apples and oranges as rape me is a masterpiece albeit a different kind because the artist is expressing himself in a different way. Music my friend can be many things that which both Sgt. Pepper's and Rape Me fit into the spectrum of and if you don't think so you need to open up your mind.

[japmcjumppants]

this is one of my favorite nirvana song of all time

[KamiMetal]

Yep. He was going to play it on MTV, they said NO WAY. So the first few bars were Rape Me, then into another "acceptable" Nirvana song, lmao!!! He was so freaking smart (and crazy).

[saprocon]

omfg...sometimes i cry when i think about kurt!!!....why did you had to kill yourself!!! i would wish you were alive to go to any of your concerts=(

[KamiMetal]

I know!!! They came to MY city, I don't know WHY I didn't go, I regret it so bad. I saw Bon Scott the year before he died, Lynyrd Skynyrd the year before the plane crash, and Pantera 3 years before Dimebags murder. At least I can watch the videos but not the same.

[airplanegob00m]

yea, fuck all you hero worshipping, kurt cobain addicts.

[gigglefudge]

TomBandfield is right. lol I'm probably going to get flamed for agreeing. Anyhows, nirvana rocks I wish I could have seen them live in like 1991. how amazing that would be.

[jumbogoaway]

i like these lyrics more

[xoxpyroxgirlxox]

he was a god..he was beautiful on the inside and out his vioce was beautiful and he wrote great songs

[texmj12345]

If you don't get it you probably don't no what a smörgåsbord is, or your an idiot.

[RideMyBMW]

"I`m not a smorgasboard" (min.3:02)

Pffff, c`mon Kurtsy baby you can do better...

[mrtall1994]

Grunge is still alive. We just need a new leader.

[OrielFilms]

I think Kurt will always be our leader :)

[TomBandfield]

Oh come on, cut the messianic crap. He was a great singer and songwriter but he wasn't fucking god.

[chunkylover017]

In 'Heavier Than Heaven' its mentioned that Nirvana's 3rd studio album In Utero had a really 'Raw' sound to it .. and infact .. the record company made them change the lyrics to many songs on it ..

I think that sucks because This version is WAY better!

[kurtlanciano]

you have a few with r lyrics I'm not a self-endowed

Sick

its im not somthing dead , sick

[Mbuck413]

mmm do we need to really argue every nirvana song thats posted, How bout we just stfu and enjoy the song

[YODANIELROMANO]

he probably changed the lyrics because they where to sick!

[urieway23]

i like this one wayy better

[tk1609]

that was scary but way better than the regular version Five Stars

[bethany2nirvana]

i love his voice on this...i love the acoustic version.

[KopaHnoje]

ča ča ča ča ča....

[Surfers7]

man this is the home version of this song he changed the lyrics dumbass

[knightsofavalon]

you people make me laugh....

[calate1burro]

youre frustraded

[rockmaster56748]

thats not the song or are u remixing it cause this is not the song u got the lyrics wrong

[Kurtdebs]

I love Kurt's voice on this version.

I always connected so much to the pain and beauty that came through in Kurt's voice.

[tvfan02]

RIP Kurt. I can hear the pain and beauty in your voice. Teens in this day and age of music don't know what true talent is.

[Matrixproductions]

I'm 15 and I know what talent is and I don't mean: Rap,hip-hop or all that other crap

[shitbricks]

dude ur an idiot i used to think like that but there is good rap out there smoke a blunt n listen to lil wyte

[SomeKindOfBand]

I was talking about the most mainstream fake rappers who don't stand for anything and only sing about how many 'bitches' they've nailed...

[fauq17]

dude you are a fuckin nigger so fuck you and die

[ojgom17]

this retard cant possibly be a nirvana fan considering kurt hated racist fucks like you

[NxNStonesNxN]

to shitbricks:dude these is a rock song not a rap you fuckin idiot dont you no what RAPE means?it mean fuck me.

[shitbricks]

did u not understand wat i was talking about do u think im that retarded to think this is a rap song? ur probably just another dumbass kid in highschool who worships cobain without even understanding his music u probably think u relate just because u dont like ur parents and you smoke pot... grow up

[NxNStonesNxN]

fuck you shut the fuck up,and tonight your mom will be so fat becouse ill finish my cums on her.

[hodag97]

wow...thats a little intense don't you think

[123666ZeRo666123]

ok i love grunge and im 14 yrs old and i love kurt he was one of hte most insperational people i have ever heard in my life next to some of the other people i liek liek jimi hendrix jinathen davis of korn and jerry cantrell/layne stanley of alice in chains

[grunge0730]

KURT SANG THIS SONG

[gettingannoyed]

whoa, i love how his voice sounds in this version!

[grunge0730]

didnt sound like him the first time i listened to it...then i recognized it. RIP kurt

[729245]

it IS Kurt

[Normanstoned]

thats not kurt cobain!

[supamanxxx]

Dude, of course its Kurt, Dont be stupid. Any real nirvana fan knows it is.

[GNRfrik]

what a beautiful song!!!

[linglim]

Is it true that you can hear frances bean crying in the background? My speakers arent plugged in so I cant hear this.

[nirvanafan181]

Not on this one. What you are refering to, is Nirvana - Rape me (Band demo) ;)

[ginmaster123]

nirvana still awsome when he was still alive i was going 2 a concert!!

[imfrommissouri]

I really like this version a whole lot, more than the demo version which I like more than the studio version. This one is way more soulful and deep than the others, whereas this and the demo are more raw and dirty sounding. This one seems to hold more meaning and emotion though, but I wish the ending was more ending-like.

[Satan0wnz]

I agree this one is more from his heart.

[druzlur]

yeah it's absolutely true

[Gigante1002]

I like this version It´s very beautiful!!

[huevoman1987]

anyone knows or have this lyrics they sound amazing and much more complete than the original version, i don`t understand some parts.

[kakarotto153]

Nice :) I like home demo :)

[benspartan117]

71 coments think of one plzzz

[ginmaster123]

get a life they are not gay they make music !!!

[invadorzimrox9]

wtf why would they play it the guy is dead but i love this song

[ginmaster123]

i am sorry i was thinking they was set down there gay demo i am sorry

[invadorzimrox9]

its ok

[druzlur]

shut up

[mushroomheadfreak200]

why you can better shut up and rape your mom

[GoddessFourWinds]

I spend a lot of time listening to this, and my lyrics are posted on Song Meanings, too. I believe they are more accurate.

Ex: "I'm not a modern man's choir."

Mine: "I'm not a mindless chord."

Ex: "I'm not a self-endowed."

Mine: "I'm not a self in doubt."

Give them a good once-over. I'm sure you'll agree. :0)

Peace out. GFW

[kasetu]

u've done ur homework very good :)

[n1rvana1990]

Great version !

[liliaaan1]

lovely!!

[Macu111]

The best

[maryjane95]

I love this version !!

[austinknowles]

cause mtv ruins everything

[fabulousfishy]

duhhh. mtv sucks. there's nothing music about it

[GormTheElder]

why didn't they play this at MTV: unplugged?

[MARCOSUC82]

they don't play because Mtv don't want because the lyrical content of the song

[slts94]

but this lyrisc are apropiate for the unplugged

[Collegelovr]

...nvm, it is the band demo in the very beginning
