Nirvana/Fecal Matter- Downer

[GiveMeMyWhammy]

is it actually him who is singing?

[CrustPunk668]

This is just proof of his greatness!

[mynameisandrew962]

What I love about this Fecal matter album is Kurt used like, a bunch of different voices.

[jordy45678]

2.45 Downer.

[barrydeez]

Wow. Nice post.

[webmaster8040]

[labrynthhill]

[webmaster8040]

@labrynthhill thanks but i found a way to get it since i posted that comment

[Npeo]

Its so funny listening to this after hearing the one on their albums.

[blendoutt]

this version is so much better than the one on bleach

[OlympiaMusicTV]

@blendoutt The same I think about Spank Thru from FM demo than from Nirvana.

[bestdrummerever1234]

@blendoutt not better different

[DarkestofTimes]

Funny the other version sounds like Uppers not Downers. XD

[Murena691]

Lavoro alla Same Treviglio ITALy, lo dedico a loro il nome del gruppo!

[mrshnarfles]

the whistling sounds like the intro for hummer by the smashing pumpkins

[nalga25]

@mrshnarfles true!, but it would be: "the intro for "hummer"sounds like the whistle", just saying :)

[mrshnarfles]

@nalga25 well yeah this was before that.......

[pivot1022]

the drummer is dale from the melvins if i recall correctly

[Murena691]

ritmo costante per un testo ribelle !!!

[vigorous12]

I am living proof grunge is not dead!!!

[feeblechrist126]

@vigorous12 no your the proof it is dead.applying stupid labels on yourself really shows how stupid u are.

[pivot1022]

@vigorous12 thanks for killing grunge

[bestdrummerever1234]

@vigorous12 shut up grunge was never really dead

[LilC2012]

how did he come up with these great lyrics?

[reltonpelton]

if someone tried to get me to play bass for them by giving me this, i would probably say no.

i do not know what this means

[BabyFacedAssassin301]

@reltonpelton lol

maybe in 1985 this was considered awesome?

[jacobladders]

@BabyFacedAssassin301 its considered awesome for all eternity

[user3182]

Why ain't there any whistles in the bleach/incesticide version?!?!?! freaking awesome!!!

[Crocadum]

Ha, Kurt could play MY mouth any day ;)

[watchdogsp]

I know EXACLLY what he's saying!!!!!!! I think Kirt can read minds from the grave! Creepy! and I must say he plays the mouth very well!!

[HentzDude]

so these songs were made by kurt and some guy "Daie" or "Dale " or what?

[TheGarageLand]

@HentzDude were made by Kurt and Dale Crover (Melvins)

[LilHermanIsBack]

omg i love this demo!!

[SeeingTheDarkNight]

ILLITERACY WILL PREVAIL!

[SOADownsnubs]

reminds me too much of butthole surfers.

but this is still fucking cool.

[jacobladders]

@SOADownsnubs thats whats awesome how influenced cobain was by the butthole surfers style of music and the strange oddness about the surfers he said in about a son documentary he really wanted to be on touch and go records because 3 of his favorite bands were on that label which was scratch acid,butthole surfers,and big black, dude had a wild taste for some weird offbeat music bro

[SOADownsnubs]

@jacobladders yea man totally thanks to nirvana im finally into the hardcore scene and i love it so.

do you know any other bands that i should listen to?

i love kurts voice at 1:30 dont you? sounds incredible. you can tell he was so unique, and the whistling was a noice touch.

[jacobladders]

@SOADownsnubs ok well im gonna start off to a few bands 1.beat happening 2.screaming trees 3.alice donut 4.flipper 5.the dicks 6.meat puppets 7.saccharine trust 8.millions of dead cops 9.the meatmen 10.D.R.I.

[jacobladders]

@SOADownsnubs kurt's voice range and raw sound is amazing on this fecal matter

tape very much like butthole surfers meets flipper meets scratch acid meets the melvins sound experimentation wise he also said that it was a real pleasure to play and share the stage @reading with sonic youth

[mrshnarfles]

@jacobladders yeah i like to think of Kurt/Kurdt as a hipster because he listened to strange bands and didn't like being the "famous rockstar". I'm not trying to insult him either, the dude is like my main musical influence...

[jacobladders]

@mrshnarfles thats cool......i think of kurt as kurt and thats pretty much it i love em and admire his musical influence and how he creates his own wall of noise kurt spoke for the average person living a pretty rough life

[slappingdraggy]

they are good songs with a good drummer.

[riotstick67]

His voice got much better later on in his career. You can still hear the raw talent,

[SnewgAlbert]

First time I hear this version, love it. Perfect for lyric clarifying as well. The second verse with "conservative communist" is the best imo. Whistling afterwards!

[nirvanafannr1]

i like the bleach version better

[alexthemod1]

HAHA!

[SamuriSuicide]

i like this versiion alot better the the one on bleach

[chilipeppers91]

love how he's credited as "Kurdt = guitar/mouth"

[oddsource]

@chilipeppers91 nice didnt know that, I bought his diaries and saw that signature countless times on his drawings. Thought was just his pen name for himself his alter ego.

[DarkestofTimes]

@chilipeppers91 XD

[BLANKMINDSBAND]

this is the best thing i;ve ever heard with my ears!

[KillVision133]

@BLANKMINDSBAND With what else can you hear apart from your ears ?

[TheExploitedNirvana]

@BLANKMINDSBAND what else do you hear with?

[darkangels17]

i love and prefer this version

[seddfmyd]

me too

[darkangels17]

cool :)

[stargrub]

this is mexican seafood.........Cross the border man!!

[AdamSlezak3]

no its not

[stargrub]

yes it is!! or maybe an early version,

[AdamSlezak3]

nuh-uh its an early version of downer. mexican seafood has completely differnt lyrics and sound downer has the same lyrics as this one

[stargrub]

you done your homework ....you think your better than me? well....you probably are, i mean i totally suck...no redeeming qualities.

[AdamSlezak3]

i dont know what i said to you but i suck more

[mrshnarfles]

@AdamSlezak3 i think he is confused because there is on one of the bootlegs downer is mislabeled as Mexican seafood

[siege86]

hahaha yeah no its not dood

[rattlehead00]

Have you heard Downer? This is obviously the early version. Not to mention, he clearly says "downer" at the end.

[siege86]

na i was agreein wit u dood

[rattlehead00]

No, I was talking to the first guy.

[Odelay777]

Funny that Kurt Cobain's amateur demo tape is way far better in originality and creativity than most music we have today.

[ase3400]

Completely right, odelay777. This demo tape sounds better than seriously nearly everything coming out today and kurt was 17 when he made this. goes to show how creative and innovative he was and also much we lack there today. I mean, what the fuck happened? Is is that hard to write a descent song? I'm not asking for even as good as Nirvana, but just at least decent!

[Odelay777]

Damn right. And let's not be blinded by the fact that corporations are trying to make us believe that top-selling bands are the 8th wonder of the world. I mean, some of them are above average, but it's still a far cry from the originality brought by iconic musicians!

[PanHellmuncikPL]

yes. For example Sound of Dentage is very good song or Buffy`s Pregnant or Blathers Log.

[Odelay777]

Yes. And Spank Thru! I was looking for Day-Glow!!!

[snubbs741]

just because its an amateur demo doesnt mean it will be less original and creative than something recorded in a studio.

[negativecreep90]

this tunes crazy slowed down...love the lyrics on this

[grunge0730]

deep

[classicrockforlife12]

nice dude thanks how did u get it? i look for it on limewire and evrything never find it

[ToastRocks674]

I think you can find it on the Sub Pop website
