Nirvana - About A Girl (Unplugged Version)

[Ninabettaglio]

MTV died with Kurt

[lucas07700]

the dislike bar is like a ninja, we know it's there, but we can't see it.

[Numaloko]

one person unlike this... that person is Justin beaber!!

[xxmikesk8xx]

@Numaloko just bieber is a nirvana fan... now can everyone shut up about him and just listen to the song? its kind of annoying to see every other comment talk about the same thing.

[TakarangiLove1998]

@xxmikesk8xx this guy is right, Kurt wouldnt have wanted us coming here to give someone else shit

[JustSomeGuyOk]

ah yesss.. back when 'Music Television" played music on television...

[ToMsanek]

best version

[harryhume]

Man I love this song, inept as I am on a guitar I can strum and hum.

[dcpendragon1]

FYI, this tune is about Kurts ex-flame Tracy Marander, addressing her insistence that he be responsible and find himself some gainful employment, hence the line "But i cant see you every night for free".

[knightlion04]

@dcpendragon1 was just gonna post this. thanks for beating me to it

[leviathan6]

fuck vevo!

[Andy23497]

"This is our first record. Most people dont know it."

KURT WAS A HIPSTER.

[TheEvilelvis89]

@Andy23497

He actually said "Most people don't OWN IT" but whatever...

[MASINI2009]

@TheEvilelvis89 Ur right;)

[heyaidkwhut]

@Andy23497 lmao someone put some glasses on him

[BobbyeHorner03]

DL the audio from this song at soundnabber doht cohm.

[Prezesmarky]

@daven571 punk ass kiddo ;-)

[mypearl80]

@daven571 LOL same thing happened to me that kid is now haunted by Kurt and still to this day he hears about a girl, lithium ,and man who sold the world every day of his life so now i feel better! LOL jk

[slayer666metalful]

i first heard this song when i spent the day after school hanging out with this girl i used to like, i still kinda do. that particular memory will stick because of this song.

[Cloyce007]

nobody knows what its about?

It's about a girl duh... xD

[DoorsFanatic95]

@daven571 you should have. the problem isn't that he likes smells like teen spirit the most even though that's nirvana's most popular song. that's a hell of a song. the problem is that he badmouthed their other material. how the fuck can you deny in bloom, come as you are, lithium, polly, drain you, heart-shaped box, rape me, dumb, about a girl, the man who sold the world, lake of fire, all apologies, & all of their other amazing songs. fuck that prick

[RageAddiction]

@DoorsFanatic95 Negative Creep, Swap Meet, About A Girl , Floyd The Barber, and School, Bleach is better then all the others.

[Butthead3600]

classic song was watching the 30th anniversary of Mtv and they showed the mtv unplugged Nirvana was the best show ever on Mtv

[InLustWeTrust0000000]

This is a good fucking album

[TheOldcountryboy]

RIP kurt cobain one hell of a musician and songwriter

[Fishsticks187]

Fucking God. If you guys hate Vevo fucking do something about it. No one wants to hear you bitching about something you choose not to change. It's easy to complain from a couch.

[nazcarmaster]

@MarcelinePromotions No shit...

[theworldinnit]

this song is about one of his long-term girlfriends....he wrote it for her but didn't tell her it was about her cause he was embarrassed...it's in his autobiography.

[TheDrummerkid39]

gay Vevo.

[TheSuperp3nis]

@TheDrummerkid39 idk what the fuck peoples problem is with vevo i find it fine so wat 23 seconds of your life theres ads on regular videos jesus stfu

[TheDrummerkid39]

@TheSuperp3nis Fuck u, I don't really want 2 see 23 seconds worth of ads b4 every song. I see enough ads on TV. So u stfu.

[zephyrjoy]

@TheSuperp3nis its not the waiting that's bad it's just that it sucks being bombarded by ads that reinforce our particular societys fucked up notions of what life should be about.

[meotpalaiyot]

wooooooooooohhhhooooooooo.....­. my idol........

[PhoneHomeProduction]

Obviously the song is About a Girl. 

[DAROCKNESSMONSTAH]

Greatest Album of All Time.

[varuni2660]

omg hes is sooo awsome to bad he killed him self

[DustinTheWind2121]

its about his first girlfriend.

[BoXerMF]

How can I sing this highs at the end of a word, for example :"freeeee...."

[lunaluis14]

this version is so much better :D

[SzymochaK]

@Joshy1351  1 millamiter lol

[leirisal]

@Joshy1351 Where is it?

[lordhugeluke]

@Joshy1351 he has a penis? thats news

[nirvana3830]

This song is "About A Girl" named Tracey Miranda who Kurt loved more than anything in the world, which is why he wrote it with such passion and praise.

[X420HyDroSkUnkX]

@nirvana3830 are u sure some other guy said it was a song about herion

[nirvana3830]

@X420HyDroSkUnkX Yeah I'm sure, Ive seen an interview with her and she was asked about her time with Kurt and what she thought of the song.

[X420HyDroSkUnkX]

WTF they took the HD version off of VEVO now I can't watch a High Quality video

[DoorsFanatic95]

i hate when metalheads say that grunge killed metal. trust me when i say that it didn't. this is coming from another metalhead. if anything, bands like alice in chains, nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, & stone temple pilots kept music alive. they're still kicking ass. they're metal bands/musicians still performing like judas priest, metallica, motley crue, ozzy osbourne, poison, & van halen

[TheGreatGallbo]

First song I ever learned on guitar to sing/play together. First song I learned period. Cheers, Kurdt.

[slickerthanyou100]

bye the way this song is about a girl who helped him threw tuff times and snuck out food for him and payed his rent

[nirvana3830]

Her name was tracey and she was his girlfriend

[slickerthanyou100]

@nirvana3830 ya i know ive write 2 reports on him

[1337Tazer]

This band is so good they are SUICIDAL

OOPS LOL

[guitarsbw]

@1337Tazer Nice dick move, dick

[glueforall]

@guitarsbw yes.....Lazer...tee hee LOL! (*punches Lazer out)...

[secumu]

I started listening to these guys back in 8th grade (1998). This song was hands down my fave. They've been apart of my being ever since=). RIP KDC

[ZuesstheGuitarLord]

Uh, why the hell is poker face one of the suggestions on this?

LADY GAGA SUCKS!!!

[sooperdude22]

Back these days, MTV was about music (This) and somthing to laugh about (Jackass for example), but now it's about girls who can't keep their legs shut (Teen Mom) and people who tan every 2 hours (Jersey Shore). Anyone else Agree?

[startrekmasterguru]

@sooperdude22 yea only good show on mtv is beavis and butthead in my opinon

[AbusedDaily]

@sooperdude22 that shit got fucked after all these bands left!

[SithLord2012]

guitar hero is fun and all for shits and giggles but NOTHING compares to the feeling of being an actual musician, to perform in front of an audience and do pretty damn good at something is a feeling that can't really be described. well for me anyways haha :)

[jamerock12]

@SithLord2012 I agree :) There's nothing really like getting the cheers and all. I laugh wen people say that they learned guitar from guitar hero xD

I don't hate guitar hero, I hate playing it. BUT it is reintroducing people into the good music, not not some crap like blacked eyed peas, snoop dog, katy perry, Kesha, or some other crap that I forgot. <3 Rock. <3 Nirvana <3 70's thru late 90's music. Don't like it? Don't watch/listen to it. Everyone has their opinions.

[Gatsira]

@34LOLWTF Uhm I like the original better. x3 "Bleach" was their best album. =o In my opinion.

[34LOLWTF]

Does anyone else like this version way better than the original?

[lankyj91]

I'm not going to lie, i've read some stupid things on the internet but for people to "not be sure what this song is about" is retarted.

"About A Girl", hardly a Sherlock job is it?

[N1irvanaFan94]

@lankyj91 Retarded*

[lankyj91]

I love this song, i just disliked it for the banter of having a dislike..LOL

[BellaGypsy1982]

"I need an easy friend

I do with an ear to lend

I do think you fit this shoe

I do but you have a clue

I'll take advantage while

You hang me out to dry

But, I can't see you every night

Free"

[89Pleasek]

0:18 most people don't know it

they hell do now

[xxlonleyemoboyxx]

If you just like this song cause of GH, then wtf lol. Pretty ,much kills the reason of listening to Nirvana.

[ChainManProductions]

I just found out this song is on guitar hero... I learn something every day.

[abarbetta13]

@ChainManProductions I just found out what guitar hero was lol

[elanamiranda]

Love for Kurt Cobain :)

[Keith459001]

if guitar hero made you discover this song then i hope you get hit by a bus x-mas morning

[ericallencurtis123]

@Keith459001 atleast he discovered it, who cares how?

[SuperBrictson]

the original version sounds cooler but this sounds deeper!!!!!!!!!

[DikkeZwans]

i can play this for real lol... guitar hero is for people who cant play for real

[Patrycz4k]

@DikkeZwans and i am a soldier and i can shoot ppl for real. call of duty is for people who cant kill for real

[Dimon667]

@DikkeZwans yea, that's true.. but i learned this song in like, 3minutes or something like that xd

[Jofrisper]

@DikkeZwans You're such a deluded motherfucker. I can play both real guitar and guitar hero. You do both for fun. Next time try and think before you post your crap. Thank you.

[SoundgardenPearlJam]

You can't argue with "0 dislikes"

[CroutonxCorexXD]

There just something magical about Kurt's voice. Espescially when the music is toned down like this.

[wpgbuck13]

About a Girl ( unplugged cover ) PLease Watch on my channel!!

[makemeninja]

"I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.”

[mrgotsmilk]

i can play this on both

[4TheTabsInUrEyes]

i can't help but feel like this song is about a prostitute

"an easy friend", "i can't see you every night free"

"free" as in no cost

i could be wrong though

[RyanWright999]

@4TheTabsInUrEyes T'was written for his girlfriend who financially supported him.

[princedoza]

@RyanWright999 true

[foriamonlyahorse11]

Bloody hell!! Reading the prickly comments on here all bitching against each other about Kurt & Nirvana...my cat is blacker than your cat etc. The laugh of it is that most of you guys were either not even born or still in nappies when this great band were on top.

Just sit & listen to genius that is still relevant more than twenty years on.

[theverenduschuck]

@foriamonlyahorse11 ive noticed that on alot of videos lately fucking guitar hero and rockband selling our wonderful great music to a bunch of douchebag kids who hear it once and become experts on the people and their music.

[foriamonlyahorse11]

@theverenduschuck Yeh, the best 'experts' were about 3 years old when Nirvana were still around....sad & laughable at the same time.

[momoissocool]

ummm the description is wrong... we do know wat its about....

its about a girl! =D

[gangleri2007]

Way better than the plugged one.

[FallOutMeg580]

R.I.P Kurt Cobain =[ (oh and i know he died a few years ago... so u dont have 2 tell me that "he died a while back ago... and ur now just saying this")

[DaveS12382]

nice post here, fuck VEVO!@! sound quality is superior on this especially on my brand new headphones.

[Linkage1992]

@DaveS12382 If it weren't for Vevo we'd have to pay to use youtube.

[Andrewthegreathobo]

love the solo

[Terrox6Lupus9Magnes]

Great Song, and just shut up all of you discussing about RB/GH. This isn't the right place for shit like this

[jebriel666]

but i cant see you every night ♪

[kennygmang]

to all the peple who say GH / RB is gay, you are a fucking fag...

playing this song on World Tour is prob one of the reasons why i wanted to play it for real. now i have perfected this song IRL and in GH...

i still play RB once in a blue moon, because i kinda suck at guitar still, i'm really good at expert w/ all instruments (so that's a reason to keep playing), there's DLC i l and i honour what inspired me to play acoustic today..

srsly grow up it's only a video-game u fags

[ExclusiveEXCL111]

Alll you dickheads who play guitar hero suck dick, and i know what the fuck im talking about, I cant play this song all the way through with variatians of G on the verse chord progression, Guitar hero players are little twats who have got nothing else better to do with their lives than pick there dirty spotty faces in their crusty bedrooms playing your little guitar hero until you go blind, live in the real world, morons

[Valioth112]

Mate, seriously, chill out. People who play real guitar and other instruments (like myself) also enjoy guitar hero as well! it may not be a patch on the real thing but tis fun to fuck about with. As for the few hero-only players who think the're all that cuz they can do whatever they want on those plastic toys, let them have their little video game, we'll still be the real rockers (oh and this song, not that hard, you just need to practice enough to be able to do the variations)

[TheMasterDater]

shut up faggot you suck

[colbeagle]

@ExclusiveEXCL111 no power chords in the beginnig there open

[MarlboroShinobi]

@ExclusiveEXCL111

dude...you cant play this song all the way through?

it's easy...

[ExclusiveEXCL111]

yeh, DUDE i know its an easy song for a seasoned guitar player, but ive only been playing since october 2009, and besides im having a go at plastic virtual guitar hero

[WhatsernameKerstin]

guitar hero and real guitar is great if you are able to play it okay? doesn't matter if you play on a piece of plastic or on a piece of wood. fun is the most important thing

i'm sorry my english isn't very well.

greetings from germany

i love this song :)

[xxXjokerXxx8]

Right on man, anything that makes you happy!

[litlemadguitarist]

@WhatsernameKerstin Hi, you re german hey? HEre s a confusig story. Im a Brit who lives in France whos in Germany on a 6 month trip. Whereabouts in Germany???

[sentenol]

@WhatsernameKerstin Amen.

[qwerty96347]

@WhatsernameKerstin I like the way you view things.

[catseatingclouds]

@WhatsernameKerstin no, actually. guitar hero is retarded. it's not the same at all.

[IIIMPULSE]

@WhatsernameKerstin fun is good, self expression is better. and although that can sort of be done listening/playing someone else's music somewhat, it's nothing compared to doing it yourself.

[metallifreak23]

@WhatsernameKerstin well said mate.

[nobleteam2]

@WhatsernameKerstin greetings from the U.S.

my fellow german brother :)



[marco81709]

@nobleteam2 Oh, the irony. 

[smartacus88]

@WhatsernameKerstin your english is better than mine.....greetings from north carolina..

btw....do you have to speak english in germany?

[Autopilot234]

[JohnnyFuzz13]

[d00m900]

@Ryzyboi i actually got mine from songsterr. very good site, you can look at the tabs and hear midi of the song to give you an idea of how it sounds. you can also mute everything but the guitar to help you learn

[LuizLagoz666]

@JohnnyFuzz13

You say that Guitar Hero sucks?, That probably hurts you played but lost him as a spoiled child.

Guitar Hero is the greatest game on earth, that you have left that in mind, Noob.

[JohnnyFuzz13]

@LuizLagoz666  lol i play real guitar, and i will never play that lame ass guitar look alike plastic piece of shit. faggot

[LuizLagoz666]

@JohnnyFuzz13

For you to be guitarists should play well, you're not insulting to one another only by your facts, stop talking nonsense, surely hate Guitar Hero, because I do not know how to play, do not hide your reality, social scum.

[JohnnyFuzz13]

@LuizLagoz666

YOU: I can play Nirvana Songs at guitar hero at ultra mega super Difficult hard MODE.

ME: I can play Nirvana songs in real life.

[LuizLagoz666]

@JohnnyFuzz13

I play guitar in Guitar Hero, but I play drums in real life, Come As You Are with pedal fully up, just shut up if you do not know, Emo stinking.

[kcin1004]

[shadyworrier666]

[bernardo880]

naa, i like the song because i like it...

it's just that i've not searched long time 4 ANY rock or metal songs even if i hear them...

but with guitar hero i got looooots of new AWESUM songs.... this is great dude ;)

[11guitarfabian11]

@bernardo880 If Kurt would know that he would crie ,he hated the mainstream-bunnys who enjoy stuff like PLASTIC GUITARS

[sentenol]

@bernardo880 Who cares why you like the song? You like it, nuf said.

Acctually if i'd never had played guitar hero i wouldn't even know this song.

[Jirue7609]

@bernardo880 I didn't even know this song was on guitar hero :P

But I never bought any of the guitar heros after the 2nd one.

[sp1derfan90]

I can actually play the real song

[XanaduMyHome]

pick up a real guitar or bass jesus christ, so much possible talent wasted of plastic and discs.

[emptysys]

at a time i got a guitar, and my dad was going to give me his electric guitar... but i hate guitars actually... thought playing on it pretty much sucks...

sry dude didnt make fun on my oppinion =/

[XanaduMyHome]

well you gave up too easily dude, it sucks when you start for everyone, you have to actually want to do it.

[XxcrazynannexX]

*w*<3<3<3

[pangolinjoker]

[tillefonoo]

[rikuparagus706]
