[omedicius]

[darkxhino]

in night ....disco godness.!

[manhuntruler2]

Love this sonG!

[grunge2012]

bad sound, great song

[angelespop]

and some people still say that kurt cobain sucked at guitar... cool song and cool riffs...

[MexicanSeadude]

@angelespop

he wasnt the best guitarist skill wise. but he was the best guitarist for a band like nirvana, but i think in the later days he kind of downplayed his abilities. aero zeppelin could be easily mistaken for a thrash metal song

not that im complaining, more skill doesnt always equal better music. look at a band like dragonforce

[eddycobain9117]

¡Vaya! Apenas era 1988 y ya sonaban como sonarían hasta después de 1991

¡Grande Nirvana! Q.E.P.D. Kurdt Kobain

[jeandepaul]

[holyjodeeshit]

yay :0

[Stalebain]

Reading the Heavier then Heaven biography:

Right after they finished the song a girl came up and asked the lyrics because she thought Kurt made the song on the spot for her, so he got mad and said, Yeah, it goes: SHIT PISS FUCK CUNT COCKSUCKING ANAL PROBER and she cried and ran away

[russelgman]

sweet, they played it exactly like the recording. listen to how they play it during their in utero- career. it sounds awful

[MexicanSeadude]

????

they never played hairspray queen after 1988

as much as i wished they did, they didnt play this song or any of the songs from this show (sadly) apart from spank thru, floyd the barber and papercuts sometimes after '88

[russelgman]

well then maybe it just looked like it was in-utero- timish, either way the performance im referring to was dreadful

[russelgman]

[nirvanafreak95]

they did, i know they made a recording of it with dave on drums, and released it on incesticide

[MexicanSeadude]

umm nope, for a nirvana freak you really dont know alot lol, incesticide is just a mash up of demo's radio sessions and b-sides, from 1988 to 1991. This song was recorded in 1988, when dale crover was their drummer

[punk91]

yeah Dave only played on the covers (Vaseline and Devo stuff) and Aneurysm on incesticide...

[Grunge00125]

the version of this on incesticide is from before Dave Grohl was their drummer :P

[yougallardo]

i was yours, mine, you were mine, my enemy you were, mine, i was yours, your enemy.... simplemente original

[EFUVHG]

LOV EIT GREAT POST

[darkxhino]

disco godness!!!! hell ya disco goddness!!!

[NowhereChild]

R. I. P. Kurt

[brianz81]

Too bad they didn't have better recording equipment back in '88.

[applebmic]

actually he was making fun of the 80s hair bands like motely crue and poison basically calling them hairspray queens

[Darkdread12]

bah, it was just a fashion and some people liked it. Who knows, maybe in 10 more year some new band will make fun of grunge bands and the clothes they wore.

:]

[grungerocker101]

ya but people who lik hairbands hav no taste in music

[Darkdread12]

that's very subjective, remember that many guitar players from these bands played more complex solos and harmonies than kurt! Of course we will not deny Kurt's superior writing gift, but we can not state that you don't have taste if you, say, listen to Aerosmith! Peace.

[grungerocker101]

aerosmith isnt a hair band the only good one is guns n roses but the rest are sellouts who consider themselves metal

[cdwheel]

what's the story behind this song?

[kenjubas]

This song is about chicks that think and act like they are queens. Hence the lyrics:

At night, wishful goddess,

At night, wish the hardest,

At night, disco goddess,

At night, you're so modest,

At night, Crisco lovefest,

At night, mouthful on me,

It's like, fish-filled garbage,

At night, we go gahhhh

[madeyes4u]

You've got some of the lyrics confused. Just look in "Kurt Cobain: Journals" and you'll see the handwritten lyrics.

[TurtleNeck23]

Fucking Awesome. Hairspray queen kicks so much ass.
