Live: Weezer, "Sliver (Nirvana cover)" 2008

[p0ultry]

@MEGADakota2: i have zero issue with you believing that. But since it's not a meat puppets song, I'll have to stick with what I know. (check the copyright, its Geffens copyright and MP have never been signed to Geffen.)

[420Guitar420]

Not a big fan of Weezer but they do respectable Nirvana covers.

[p0ultry]

@tootoot123: no, its an original nirvana song.

[MEGADakota2]

@p0ultry its a Meat Puppets original.

[keaton223]

im glad to see they didnt cover another radio nirvana song, awsome cover

[munckymagic]

Are Weezer like a hybrid of Nirvana and the Beach Boys? I think so.

[FatherofMan25]

@munckymagic more like nirvana without balls.

[deadendguitarist]

It's cool to hear this song done by Weezer cause Rivers has such a pop voice and Kurt had such a raspy, grungey voice. it works well

[ChristBurner]

@deadendguitarist youve never heard rivers scream

[wolfpjw]

One of my fav songs!

[RadioJuicebox]

Weezer <3

[dcmentalman]

Weezer should seriously do a studio cover of this lol

[dixiebend1]

rip kurt

[TheSeattlegreen]

I like that weezer covered a song from my favorite band, Also weezer is the SHIT, But no one can sing or perform it like COBAIN !!!!!!!!!!

[Numneuno]

looks like green day playin' nirvana

[EvDaRealezt]

his voice is too SOFT...sounds like auto-tune xP

[mrbuddy12345]

@EvDaRealezt Kurt had a high voice much like this and that's a bad thing,how?

[imdan1182]

Weezer aint Nirvana....I personally think they sold out...Weezer were one of my fav groups until this past album...its more pop then alt...they have influenced alot of the bands today my fav group right now Manchester Orchestra list them as there main influence...i just wished Weezer stayed true to there old ways instead of selling out

[Tomamo5]

@imdan1182 the phrase selling out is thrown about everywhere mind. Nirvana sold out with 'Nevermind' by signing to a major label, especially to their old punk purist friends. almost all successful and great bands have 'sold out'. Rivers is a great songwriter and it would be unfair for us to restrict him to the one genre, and i am happy that he loves to branch out to other styles like pop, even though i prefer his old music. i'd rather have him and his music to evolve than stay the same. :)

[picklescanflytho]

I liked weezer. Now I love them:].

[guardianlink12345]

WHAT!?! no, Nirvana and Weezer are almost opposites on the musical spectrum. This is wrong.

[Xrick56]

@guardianlink12345

Rivers Cuomo used to play metal before and he was also a big Nirvana fan. If you listen to some early demos his voice sound kinda raspy.

[Tomamo5]

@guardianlink12345 oh. it's not wrong at all. weezer was/is a post grunge band. they're both kings of the alternative music scene. plus the fact that weezer love nirvana and nirvana (well dave grohl at the very least) love weezer; so it is only fitting even though they may not be completely the same. both brilliant bands. :)

[Akoustikus]

@guardianlink12345

...Not at all.

They are two groups developed from the same cloth. Weezer and Nirvana are both (at the most basic level) early 90's alternative rock bands from the USA. Both inspired by the same groups, both following similar musical trends (simple progressions, strong tones, subtle vocal harmony etc.) Nirvana is like Weezer's older brother who likes to drink and party, Weezer is like the younger brother who decided to go to college instead.

[xCheezyNoodlesx]

@Akoustikus Haha, that's a great way of putting it :)

[Akoustikus]

@xCheezyNoodlesx

Thank you =]

[Akoustikus]

@guardianlink12345

Not to wall-of-text, but look up Paperface by Weezer. Nirvana may have done it first, and/or better (I'm not trying to argue either of those points), but Weezer did it too.

[grungeboy86]

this is really good :D

[samcorbing]

awesome cover!!!

[HymnChan]

peace weezer & kurt!

[GrungeIsN0tDead]

=w=

[Musicsteve91]

=w=

[kurt5000yh]

weezer and nirvana were on the same label at one point in 1994.

[kachala]

on Geffen?

[tiborag96]

Good band

[craazhy]

Are you watching the same video as me? I'm pretty sure he's trying his hardest *points* right there to be Rivers Cuomo, lead singer and guitarist for the world renowned troupe known as-- the Weezers. But, seriously, he knows he's Rivers and he loves Kurt and Nirvana, but he knows he's Rivers.

[john190084]

MUY BUENA BANDA

[peytonlohr97]

my 2 favorite bands

[BillyArtillery]

this is FUCKING AWESOME

[BTown787]

Not great, but they get my respect for choosinga great song from a great band to cover.

[Markzuckerberg]

Favorite Nirvana song, hands down

[tootoot123]

@Markzuckerberg nah man everyone knows that plateau is the best nirvana song.

[BrothrhoodProduction]

@tootoot123 Too bad thats not actually a Nirvana song, only a cover they did....

[FatherofMan25]

@Markzuckerberg its simply an awesome song. it gives me goosebumps, especially the chorus where the backing vocals come in.

[iwannawacthubleed]

This isn't that bad,though it's the only Nirvana song i think Weezer could cover.

[richie410]

actually they have done multiple covers. breed and aneurysm to name a couple.

[BaahFuckOff]

@richie410 lol good job looking at the suggestion videos

[shufk77]

this is one of the few bands i woundlnt mind seeing do more nirvana covers, as weezer were nirvanas label mates, as well as being the same kind of style and attitude is nirvana. I think Mudhoney and pissed jeans should do nirvana covers too.. that would be cool

[Melkurtgirl]

weezer it's a huge Nirvana fan or what? they have a lots of Nirvana covers!

good ones i must say

[shufk77]

some people ( HARDCORE nirvana fans) think that kurt never died. They think he staged his death and is acctualy Rivers Cuomo... the lead singer from weezer.

im not evenn kidding... thats what they think.

[foolsonparade]

what? seriously? rivers is younger than kurt and has a completely different voice. but ive heard stranger lol

[primalsincerity84]

hahahahahahah never heard that before that s hilarious !!!!

[kylerpoo]

nice wasent bad :)

[novak421]

good choice of a cover song ta do.

[KerreyTheBitterSugar]

Sliver is a good song to cover

[kattte7]

This is one of the best song if nirvana

and that one is a fucking version...terrible voice,man...

[speedstrx7]

grandma take me home!!

[guhjeeh]

excellent cover

[lithiumose]

[dopplegager]

Man I wish they would have played this in SLC.

[Thevideopyramidhead1]

I wanted to see them when they came here to Atlanta. My friend got me a ticket but I was gone most of the day and couldn't go. :(

She said they did this Nirvana cover.

Yum.

[JRVis123]

[ChrisGarciaX]

[Dedlysprtn89]

[blahonyou123]

[rnburgandy08]
