[SuperKirbyMaster]

@pootersaltsman yeah well I'm the angle bisector, and you got no compass

[joshisgrunge]

[ollz1]

I love how in the second verse when the guitar kicks in Kurt just turns a bit and starts smiling xD made me lol first time :P

[riddlingreaver]

This video is the point at which the band peaked and transcend the genre, effectively killing grunge in the process? why... because they are now a bionafied rock band, that the press and the industry could then use as example to categorize the entire grunge genre with.

This intern pissed off fans and bands alike because no one (arguably then and now) with an "authentic" image/identity despises having relations to the corporate mainstream "per say" (ROCKISUM).

[riddlingreaver]

IMAGE - is where they became a separate identity to the rest of the genre. the video shows they band dressed up in 1950's style uniforms (giving oad to Buddy Holly and the crickets) and performing on what is the Ed Sullivan show, which back in its day was the pinnacle of success for a band who happened to make it on to the show.

Its a show cannon, or a rock cannon in Nirvana's case.

[riddlingreaver]

AUTHENTICITY - Beside transcending the genre and being the end for grunge, the band show slides/parallels reminding us who we are watching, about halfway through we catch frames of the band behaving in their typical fashion, this is very clever because its merging the two images creating a show boat carrying the band through new dimensions and cultural meanings.

[riddlingreaver]

AUDIENCE- lets look at this in two way, the audience copy and pasted into the video, and the audience that is watching the video.

The ironic statement is painfully obvious, If Nirvana were to preform there music in front of an audience who would now be in their 60s/70s you would have a lot of upset old people on your hands. It would be completely out of context and would do the organizers of the event no good but controversy, which arguably would make them more famous.

[riddlingreaver]

But back in the 50's people were portrayed as simple, innocent and easily corrupted by new ground breaking ideas.

(The other funny thing is that the two times were entering a stage of musical revolution and by using screaming fans of the past reflects the events of the world that Nirvana were apart of).

[riddlingreaver]

The audience of the "now" (todays times) will subconsciously pick up on this because its so unnatural and comical giving them the satisfaction and enjoyment that the makers of the video aimed to achieve, thus making them more popular even further.

[riddlingreaver]

AUDIENCE - An argument contradicting what I just said might be that, "hay" there is quite possibly not more than a shred of different to what Buddy holly (plus similar bands that were breaking through at the time) and Nirvana. Their both a three piece "rock band" with Guitar, Bass and Drums. Their both being marketed like they are the future and that what they stand for is authentic and controversial.

the only real difference is the sound and production?

their both a three piece band

[riddlingreaver]

If there are any other arguments about this video and what impact it had on society please come and join in!!!!

[riddlingreaver]

Listen to when he sings "Nature is a whole" the crowd cheer like he's being a sweet heart! haha

[Roodsteam]

did he punch the thing in his balls at 3:40? xD

[ingridhzita]

[ranzig1]

i agree flamebrain

slayer are nothing but a bunch of nazis

[joezam44]

I can't believe this argument. Nirvana, Slayer, and Manson are ALL great bands. And this video is AMAZING!

[wales2k4eva]

i couldnt agree with u more, ppl that are only loyal to one genre or band are just as brainwashed as hip hop n rap lovers

[mviolet97]

I LIKE HOW KRIST MOVES WHEN HES ALL NICE

[mgg121288]

The RHCP did the same thing on one of their recent albums.

[mgg121288]

He looks like Kurt Russell in that one scene in BTILC! !LOL!

[mviolet97]

ha at 2:48 kurts guitar flew off

[mviolet97]

Gosh I like that video. Kurt, Krist, Dave you all rock. Krist went crazy at the end. Ha.

[feldevourer]

I like the version with chad better... He makes it better somehow... Oh well, this song is just them making fun of their audience, pay attention to the lyrics, u will see

[michaelcalifornia32]

Sell the kids for food Weather changes moods Spring is here again Reproductive glands Hes the one

[imalittlecrazy13]

[meganriz]

i think its because of his hair...haha.

[imalittlecrazy13]

and the creepy, fake smile

[meganriz]

that too, haha.

[nbgtrickster]

kurts smile on vid is the highest peak of irony when you consider lyrics

[nbgtrickster]

[roxannejane101]

They so looked as if they were trying to be the Beatles, or something. I've always loved it (the song).

[Sondra666]

[idristyle]

If you like the song in bloom type "in bloom nirvana rehearsal" in the search space.

[immortalyinsane77]

lol why doe everyone think that nature is a whore is so great lol, i love the line sell the kids for food lololol makes perfect sence and you know thats happened a few times in human existance which makes it so much more perfect

[BananaCo12321]

it makes me sad that this song only has 17000 views and that a fallout boy song has got 8 million

[falloutboysucks613]

yah that is pretty sad

[hsdkahkjcbaksc]

fob won't last a decade and a half tho. The reason no one watches this is cause we've all seen it a million times over, where fob are just beginning to get popular, and stupid fans watch their shit for the first or second time. They still ain't shit compared to nirvana tho - Nirvana rulz anytime !!!

[michy321]

amen. i feel bad for those who have never heard about nirvana or anything else that came out from about 90-97. coincidentally that population are who are buying into all that fob, panic at the disco crap. theyve never heard any decent music in their entire lives and all it takes for them to think a song is good is if they see it on some fucken music list.

[mandynvp]

Agree!

[waterbottlehp7]

sorry i didnt mean to mark this as spam i meant to reply. and yeah youre right. its pretty pathetic how teenagers these days dont know the good from the bad bandss.

[MIGT7]

yeah that is horrible.

great song and very few views :S

[iodars]

yeah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RickenbackerCapri325]

hm yeah I agree but I think he wants to refer at least a little bit to the ed sullivan performance of the beatles and makes fun of the brainless fans that just showed up to the concert to see their favourite stars and not to listen to some really good music and the things for what it stands

[RickenbackerCapri325]

i think it should be the beatles, with the screaming and all and the vintage look... kurt was a beatlemaniac so it could be^^

[Billy6650]

hi this is the bestest song eva!

[leatherfink]

Ugh, this is so good it's sick. Thanks for posting.

[shenanigans101]

lol krist novoselic looks so dorky

[zemoth]

Ummmm, is it just me or is that more of a Buddy Holly look?

[Torboar]

i know like they look too much like that

[GoddessFourWinds]

This always makes me laugh...nice way to show The Beatles how much you love them! lol!

Damn, Kurt was sexy in a dress! And that part where he straddles Krist? Woohoo! lol!

Peace out.

[melren613]

This is a great video, but for what the band stood for, I like the original version better.  Sounds better too.

[mynameisholden]

i love this so much. especially about 2 minutes in when kurt smiles.

[nickconfidental]
