@jokerbilly damn i got the box set and the live at reading cd im sopose to be getting the in utero and bleach cd in a week and im gonna buy the nevermind with my money i got saved up
im gonna take a gamble here and say that's Jason Everman ... the 4th member during their bleach days, even though all he did was front the $600 for the album. knowing how close kurt was to those around him, Jason was probably a very close friend of the band even after he "left".
i love this version, when they get to the bridge the song explodes into this even beat swing. it isnt too slow like the album version, not to fast like the incesticide version...and the emotion is so raw
I don't think the loudness suits it. Different lyrics, and this would be a great song, but it seems too happy to be about a subject like it is... I think acoustic fits it better, or quiet electric guitar
I have this version on MP3. If anyone wants the MP3 of this, just respond to me and I'll send it to you.
I'm not no fucking asshole who will send you a virus or anything. Nirvana fans need to have this on their Ipods and CD's like me. Respond to me if you want the file of this.
opinions that come from you do not count !1st of all.
seriously saying its too fast is like saying it too loud, you just dont do it!! come on go listen to some classic cohen, or your stupid comments about perfect music you do not understand will always get -6's, ya dig.
You people are wrong. Polly was written about a girl who got raped and killed at a punk concert. Kurt decided to alter it where she plays along with the rapist then makes her escape. Ex: "She caught me off my guard. Amazes me the will of instinct."
please DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKs
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
try alternate version. something like that. didnt mean to get up ur ass or anything but it sounds like an eight year old named it. and plus ALL versions of polly have electric guitar and drums. but yeah ur right u could named it butthole polly and we'd have to accept it. thanks for the post tho.
one, this version is different from the others because some others including live performances are acoustic and only have the crash cymbal here and there. Two, i doubt this song could have been more creative and different. Not something that could be pulled out of your ass. this song is based on a girl that was kidnapped, raped and tortured after one of their concerts, and the song takes a look at the other side, and sort of tells the story from the rapists point of view.
I know what the songs about. And two guys raped a girl singing this song and thats why "Rape Me" came out. So i'm not confused about the origin or what it means. I was just wondering why the title was the way it was. But i could give two fucks.
how could they have raped her for singing this song if this song is about what happened to her, its about a girl who was coming from a rock concert in 86-87 and was raped by one guy, but she talked him into letting her go.
Haha no dude. The guys were singing the song WHILE raping her. Cobain found out and even made a statement at one of his shows about how he couldn't believe the filth that comes to his shows. So he wrote "Rape Me." If you're still confused Wikipedia that shit.
You both are right. Kurt wrote this in like 87 or 88 about a girl who was coming from a rock concert and was raped. She talked the man into letting her go. Then in like 92 or 93 when Nirvana made it big, two men gang raped a girl while songing Polly. And Rape Me is about a man that goes to jail for raping a woman, and gets raped there.
no its not ur talkn bout 'date rape' by sublime rape me was about the government taking money from ppl or getting rid of culture or somethn. apparently kurt was an ultra liberal
dude, ur way off. rape me is an anti-rape song. kurt was sick of ppl trying to put too much meaning into his lyrics so he wrote a very forward song. he said it himself.
The song is about a true storry about a 14 year old who was abducted, raped, and tortured using a blowtorch; that's where "to put out the blowtorch" comes from. lol I look at wikipedia to much
the new wave one is faster, this looks like a bit live but in studio the same time
