[leormstn1995]

Best version

[Booklat1]

thumbs up if you're here because of nirvana

[MrTommySullivan]

Bunch of drunks talking over incredible musicians. No respect.

[tangkeban]

fuck nirvana ..!!!!|

LOL

[LittleBigVick]

2:52 ? Banjo fail ?

[RoundBla42]

if NIRVANA covered this guys it means that they must be good u0u

[xMarlboroChildx]

lol fuck nirvana,...,nirvana brought me here man

[Brittain95]

the meat puppets deserve so much more

[papaskin1]

kurt would have done both just because he could and maybe he would'nt because he was nirvana you never knew with him and that is still his succes

[pokemoncars]

the recording equipment was awful

[keeinv]

Everyone is fucki#$ stupid here, it's a rendtion of complement. You hate bc he's better at it.

[keeinv]

Fuck Nirvana, Fuck you says god, old men that wish they were

[a021605]

FUCK NIRVANA!!!!!

[ilovemywashburn]

dont get me wrong i love nirvana , but they were heavily influenced by the meat puppets , without the meat puppets there would be no nirvana , or not the way that they were, the meat puppets formed in 1980 nirvana was formed in 87

[cayayo]

"fuck nirvana"? fuck YOU asshole!

[TyrionCypher]

You arguing guys realise, that the Meat Puppets were on Stage at the Unplugged session and played and recorded this WITH Nirvana?! They wrote the song, which Kurt obviously liked, therfore played with'em...

[MrReally224]

Meat puppet fans have to admit, fuck the guy who said fuck Nirvana...if it weren't for Nirvana these guys wouldnt be known for shit.

[draciel80]

the only reason i heard of Meat Puppets i cause of Nirvana. and Meat Puppets have grown to be one of my favorite bands. my point being, how come everybody has to rip on the two? shut up and like what you like.

[themachine122]

The reason he said fuck nirvana is because of people like you assholes. If nirvana did better go comment on a nirvana video, not meat puppets.

[metallistout]

F you Haters on Nirvana! Kurt made the songs sound 10 times better.

[tacomadavid68]

@metallistout Amen

[katy03ful]

who needs action when you got words

people, you should listen and learn

[MannuelSegovia]

Nirvana played it much better go to hell you stupid guy who screamed "fuck nirvana" nirvana is a legend you ass**le

[Kukori84]

Rest In peace Kurt Cobain 5 April `94

[GrUnGe922]

Fuck Meat Puppets!!!This suck,Nirvana version i hundred times better!!

[pjautuvas]

I'm pretty sure "Fuck Nirvana" was just a joke... get a sense of humour, people.

[22item]

if it wasn't fore Nirvana would Meat Puppets be nothing. And Nirvana preformed it much better!! so fuck the person who said fuck Nirvana.

Fuck Meat Puppets!!!

[kostasosbourne]

well when a shit yelled "fuck nirvana" i think i saw a wird laugh from the banjo player that i didn't like. something like i agree dude

[kostasosbourne]

well when a shit yelled "fuck nirvana" i think i saw a wird laugh from the banjo player that i didn't like

[AlienBusDriver]

lota ignorance in this shoutbox

[AlienBusDriver]

I like the nirvana plateau version better, but I like meat puppets version of lake of fire better

[waypastbeyond]

This makes me wanna pet a gator

[schleeff]

for me Kurt made the song perfect,with the pain in his voice!

[LauraBamboo]

who ever said fuck nirvana is only jelous they cover it and made it ten times bigger sorry meat puppetes kurt was a better guitarest and singer then u could ever be

[rabbitnosekid]

@LauraBamboo you know nothing about grunge. or even music. i love nirvana but that was just a stupid fucking statement.

[AwesomeSauceLimited]

This is so fucking funky! :)

[yesthesky]

Kurt Cobain, I miss you!

[pbest75]

Nirvana and Meat Puppets are both unique and great bands. One things about Kurt was he payed more attention and respect to his influences more than his peers did, also more than he even acknowledged his own music! As musicians they/we have the right to play with however and what ever they/we want...isn't music the ultimate in free expression!

[SoloNirvanaCovers]

fuck nirvana more like fuck your mama

[paverdanut]

these guys were all friends nirvanna and the puppets

[dlkrdlkr]

LOL This guy screaming (FUCK NIRVANA) was probably beaten up by them after the show :P

I mean wtf is wrong!! ... nirvana played this song one time (WITH MEAT PUPPETS) and everyone liked it ,..UGH u make me sick :P

[paoasiss]

Who is the real author of the lyrics of this song? i'm really confused :S

[laynestaley1990]

@paoasiss meat puppets wrote this song a looooong time ago. Its a puppets song. i dont know why people even bother asking which "version" is better because they are the same... the meat puppets minus the drummer are playing the song and kurt is singing... theres no "version".

[mademan17jc91]

Kurt would hate the fact the people are still talking about Nirvana and him.

[paranoid1072]

@mademan17jc91 you would know?

[SweatpantsDV]

The "Nirvana Unplugged" version was a collaboration. Relax everyone. It existed because of mutual respect. The Meat Puppets played the guitar and Kobain sang. Nothing more, nothing less.

[maxx372]

@SweatpantsDV But the meat puppets suck ass. nirvana made this song great

[sunchild90]

@maxx372 meat puppets play on the nirvana version you fuck wit it's more like the meat puppets ft cobain. you don't know shit.

[maxx372]

@sunchild90 you can shut the fuck up

[sunchild90]

@maxx372 shitsmasher

[Tysomba]

why is there a nirvana argument on every frking song that nirvana has had some small thing to do with give it a rest your here to listen to the meat pups if u want to listen to nirvana look them up

[Adsteramazing]

Banjo fail at @2.40

[1997sithlord1]

Who gives a fuck about the whole meat puppets controversy? Both great bands, great songs, great people. why should we fight over the rights to who played the song better, they both played it Amazingly in their own way.

[martywhitevan]

he not only said "f nirvana" at the beginning but also asked "wheres that guitar at kurt?"..at the end...that was a real diss from the audience toward nirvana..

[blakemakerofbob]

Did any one here nirvana new album. I don't know what wrong with Kurt Cobain. His head must be every where on that one.

[ganjafarian420]

like whoever the fuck you want who cares about the guy who says fuck nirvana. Nirvana is one of my favorite bands and i dont really listen to the meat puppets but it dont matter music is music whoever wants to like it go ahead im about living my life not yours

[MarJo138]

this was sponsored by Levi's? surprisingly horrible sound and video quality, but still kicks ass

[WakingLife4444]

"fuck Nirvana" at 0:22. Hilarious, haha

[hereTOgain]

I believe that the 'fucknirvana' guy got punched.

[gearsofwar131]

fuck the guy who said fuck nirvana. if is wasn't for nirvana the people at unplugged would've never heard of the meat puppets

[GTPMMA1981]

@gearsofwar131 wow if it wasn't for nirvana this would of never happened and did you see the bass player when that guy said fuck Nirvana. very in dislike he was.

[TheFrostchild]

@gearsofwar131 agree

[MattKurtzFilmedy]

@gearsofwar131 You couldn't be more wrong. The Meat Puppets were fairly popular before going on unplugged. You must be some middle school kid who found nirvana within the last 3 years.

[gearsofwar131]

@MattKurtzFilmedy Yeah i'm pretty sure people knew about them before unplugged, but until then they weren't actually in the mainstream, so shut up bitch. I may be 16 years old ,but I bet I know a hell of alot more about nirvana and what they did for this band then you do.

[iamreatard]

@gearsofwar131 just search a few things about the Meat Puppets before you say something like that... Meat Puppets were pioners too... They invented their own style... They started way before Nirvana, and people knew them... They were pretty big back in the day, asshole.

[gearsofwar131]

@iamreatard I never said they weren't big back then retard all I said is that if it wasn't for nirvana alot of people might not have even heard of them, most ofthe people at unplugged probably didn't even know who the band was until then.

[iamreatard]

@gearsofwar131 So... that means you said they weren't big back then...

[MattKurtzFilmedy]

@iamreatard Thank you!

[stewpot39]

@iamreatard i cant understand why people on the internet cant discuss things like human beings without resorting to immature name calling and profanities...for the record i like the meat puppets but would never have heard of them here in the uk were it not for nirvana so i guess they can probably thank nirvana for alot of international record sales...not taking anything away from their talent to admit that

[iamreatard]

@stewpot39 you know what, I love both bands too... So I guess it really doesn't matter who got famous off of who... They're both GREAT bands.

[dfstarborn]

wow these guys are crap

[notahemi]

I just commented on another MP song. Never heard them before. I'm 55 and missed the whole "Nirvana" thing.

Anyway. I like this group better than what I've heard.

A banjo is really unique.

[chaceurs]

the guitar solo is just awesome..love it

[aaronloughlin]

nirvana only played this song on unplugged. the fuck nirvana guy was probably joking anyway, the same way "primus sucks"

[malandmad]

haha

[warlordzephyr]

You morons with your "oh! Cobain would have thought..." or "Kurt would have said...."  Piss off, you didn't know him, maybe he would have agreed with the fuck nirvana guy, maybe he would have beaten him up, we'll never know. Enjoy the music.

[Sneatio]

we don't know what Kurt would think now over all this NIRVANA Fanboys.

But he liked the Meat Puppets so much, that he invitet them to the Unplugged session in NY!!

I LOVE NIRVANA; but alos The Meat Puppets sound great!! On is a normal Rock-Band, the others where the band with the most influence in musicindustry in the 90is!!!

gruz

[zzzeeerrrooo000000]

hahahahaahahahahha

[dayman58]

Fuck the meatpuppets!

[dayman58]

@dayman58 nah im just messin around

[sillywamosir]

nevermind nirvana, here's the meat puppets!!

[150aintenuff]

actually nirvana DID cover it, on their unplugged album but both lake of fire and plateau were both played with a members of the meat puppets while on stage with them

[RadioFriendlyNoise]

@150aintenuff. It was the Meat Puppets who wrote this. They played it with Kurt singing.

So shove it.

[150aintenuff]

@RadioFriendlyNoise not all the members were with kurt on stage when the unplugged albem was recorded.. it was released as a cover by nirvana. kurt even said it was a cover on the unplugged albem.... while they were there in the concert, the meat puppets released their original verson recording before kurt and nirvana did the unplugged record... just because thhey were onstage at the time they did not perform their versions, nore did they sing thus it was a cover by kurt and nirvana...

[RadioFriendlyNoise]

@150aintenuff that is what DGC put on the record, BUT it was THE MEAT PUPPETS who play it.

[KurdtCobaine]

I see these guys in concert amazing :)

[IAMVULTRON]

well the meat puppets should be ashamed of themselvs because when they were on stage with nirvana they sure didnt care and they just laughed when hat fucker said fuck nirvana hell they made the song more famous

[laynestaley1990]

@IAMVULTRON Fuck nirvana.

[ZapVaf]

fuck the guy who said fuck nirvana!!!

Thumbs up for meat puppets!! Great artists! Great Songs! Greatly performed in unplugged and sang by cobain

[GrungeIsDead43]

i wana shoot the guy that said fuck nirvana

[rockabillysilly]

he was just trying to be cool...

[dopplerdoesnotlikeu]

@snowiglu ya for def the song is anazimg just Kurts voice moves me more than the Meatpupetts. Im not sayin they'r a bad band, Their fuckin amazing

[masjientje]

i think that when that guy said "fuck nirvana" he ment: we dont need nirvana, we got the meat puppets.

[venusasaboy1991]

The guy that said Fuck Nirvana is an ignoramus. Kurt probably loved this band far more than him.. why would he want to insult someone that was paying tribute to this great band and arguably informed a much wider audience of their music.. dick

[elsassfed]

The man said "Fuck Nirvana" and i said "Fuck the public , cause a big part of this have funny"

[jwarnerfortsmith]

if they did write it, not sure on that..still too high to die i guess

[jwarnerfortsmith]

meat puppets transmutate into hillbilly bluegrass band and write cool as shit song---freaking bizarre man..

[perfectalt1tude]

i wish i knew who said that shit!!!obviously someone never heard of a COVER!

[xOchaneldollOx]

nirvanas version is better, but i respect both artists. no reason to say "fuck nirvana" though.

[kamuytube]

fucking agree, but i like this

[crash9321]

fuck the guy the guy that said "fuck nirvan".

[brier00]

i like nirvana's version better, but this is still ok

[cinziaas72]

@brier00

Me too... i like nirvana's version....

see you..

[dopplerdoesnotlikeu]

@brie00 and @cinziaas

Ya I most def agree i thinks this is good but Kurts vocie is just so much better

[blindriv3r]

@dopplerdoesnotlikeu its a bad recording, the original on Meat Puppets II sounds great, makes you realize why Kurt really was moved by it

[SmarkleyAndrews]

the meatpuppets played that song with kurt cobain in 1993. this dude screaming that shit is retarded. its not like nirvana is still around.

[MrCobain94]

I like to eat meat puppets :)

Thy are very good :)

[entropyness]

fuck Nirvana! bahaha i like Nirvana's a little moar too, but the studio version of the Meat Puppets is also good.

[ipodwaffle]

who ever said fuck nirvana is an ass hole. and honestly i like nirvana's version of this song better.

[ElsaDances]

really? that mother fucker screamed fuck nirvana??

[dubteenine]

i like nirvanas better.

[TheKakelude]

nirvana and puppets were dudes right ?

[c0ommonsense]

a serious meat puppets fan would not say fu** nirvana .... it must be a joke :P

[ovelonse]

FUCK NIRVANA

[johnmalory26]

wow they are old now

[Bigpimpin10359]

WHOEVER SAID FUCK NIRVANA CAN FUCK THEMSELVES kurt perfected this song

[vito321321]

@Bigpimpin10359 nirvana sux alot.

[Bigpimpin10359]

haha stop lying to urself asshole

[suddenuprising]

this much is true.

[Bigpimpin10359]

you actually have some sense

[OriginalRubberJesus]

you guys do realize that Nirvana never even covered this song, they played ONE show with the Meat Puppets, the Meat Puppets and Nirvana were playing at the same time so the "Nirvana version" is just the Meat Puppets with Cobain singing

I hope you all realize that Cobain would probably hate all of you Nirvana fanboys

[stupidpie1]

Dave and Krist played

[willbosmond]

i dont think kurt cares about anything anymore hes dead

[CATSwhoCHASEtrees]

@OriginalRubberJesus i think hes happy that we all still listen to his music and he goes on still even though hes not here and technically he did cover it its on the nirvana unplugged cd he was singing it so whateves its a cover to me

[OriginalRubberJesus]

@CATSwhoCHASEtrees, how the hell is a recording with Curt Kirkwood, Cris Kirkwood, Kurt Cobain, and Dave Grohl "Nirvana's" version?

[CATSwhoCHASEtrees]

@OriginalRubberJesus okay yeah just one of the meat puppets is playing in it but its kurts rendidtion of it and if people like how kurt sings it better than that just sucks for the meat puppets i give them credit for their lyrics but i dont like their version i perfer kurts and that wont change

[MoseyBurns]

@OriginalRubberJesus Hmmm that's odd because it was on the MTV Live CD with Nirvana backing him up.

[royglessi94]

@OriginalRubberJesus well krist played guitar and dave played drums

[pfizerbob2000]

actually when mtv did thier unplugged show live it was cobain and his beloved mulatto, albino and mosquito :) <However when they recorded thier album they did have backing from mp>

[massivenacho]

@OriginalRubberJesus so you must of been Kurt's best friend and knew everything about him? It was just Curt and Cris from meatpuppets who played with Nirvana. Dave Grohl still played drums and Krist Novoselic still played bass on Plateau, Lake of Fire, and Oh Me.

[OriginalRubberJesus]

@massivenacho I hate to break it too you but cris and curt are the meat puppets

[massivenacho]

@OriginalRubberJesus i know... if you read i clearly say that.

[frizbee9800]

@OriginalRubberJesus shut up

[MrMxyzptlk5]

@OriginalRubberJesus finally a smart person around here on youtube. i agree 100 % those hardcore fanboys are such idiots

[TheTaylorBarrett]

@OriginalRubberJesus The meat puppets played with Nirvana on the unplugged show, and yes it was a combonation of both of them, but they had Dave Grohl on drums as well as Kurt on Vocals. I am a huge fan of Nirvana, but i do hate the bitchy fanboys, theres a difference between respecting the person and the music, andobsessing over the person and the music.

[thebeerfest2008]

@OriginalRubberJesus I don't get that either because the song is played with the writers then it's a collaboration for a performance so It isn't a new version and Nirvana apparently broke up because Kurt quit a week before he was found

[musikfanize]

if i went a lead of a band and someoine said fuck the my band i would laugh that was total a joke though

[JorshWarshington]

The whole "fuck Nirvana" thing was obviously a joke. If Kurt was around to hear it, he probably would have laughed and agreed.

[nitrotoyota]

@JorshWarshington You don't tell jokes about a dead man.

[yourfearmygain]

@JorshWarshington Should we really event care about it?

[Matikusthafreak]

Fuck Nirvana? Fuck that asshole in the crowd

[MetamarioMX]

jajajaja

"NIRVANA!!" i wonder how the guys felt after a comment like that...  i would feel bad, don't get me wrong, Nirvana is my favourite band, that's why im watching this video in the first place, but...

[558crosser558]

kurt cobain is much better......

and which fuckface said ''fuck nirvana''... If i were at this ''concert'' i would kill him.

NIRVANA 4 ever

[ZACKnirvana]

agreed

[victortubez]

It was meant as a joke, you silly piece of shit.

[PawelKDC]

fuck nirvana?fuck you motherfucker!!!!

[THEDUDE1411]

i cant belive that a guy said fuck nirvana... jesus i would have killed him. they didnt even respond either. THeir supposed to like nirvana and defend them. besides they suck at singing their own songs Kurt does them way better.

[sarno72]

sorry dude i ment 2 put thumbs up i would fucking kill that guy too. what a fag

[Warpigpen]

You obviously were not around in 1991 when Cobain said that his biggest influence was the Meat Puppets.....Sure Kurt did some great MP covers, but who wrote and created the damn songs? Stupid fuck.......

[dontbannme]

i don't know why everyone likes kurt cobain's covers so much. i mean, they are good, but they make it sound like country, the meat puppets actually make the songs sound like college rock/ alternative

[WayTooMuchPressure]

kurt covered the meat puppets, not the other way around. just sayin

[StacktActor]

uhh dude....no. Honestly compare, if anything sounds more country, it's this.

[DeadKennedysNirvana8]

No Meat Puppets not Nirvana.

[THEDUDE1411]

lol meat puppets are like a spec on the map of ppl who care compared to nirvana. Plus can you really watch this and say its better than Newyork unplugged? both live cept they really dont sound good and dont care about a fallen friend who gave them tribute at one of his performances... really they should have been upset but their assholes and they cant sing their songs worth shit

[DeadKennedysNirvana8]

@THEDUDE1411 they are assholes? Really? Sure Kurt would have to disagree with an idiot like you. Second that is how their songs are suppose to sound since it is their song. You truly are a fucking moron.

Their fallen friend would not be a friend if it was not for their band

You should just keep quite.

[punky7dunk333]

Hendrix and Cobain had alot in common..Just watch their live shows..Very careless, wreckless and sloppy rock at its best..PLus Hendrix would sometimes just end a song without warning...I think the 2 would've gotten along just fine and did drugs 2gether..

[sunshinedaydream77]

there's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds

[quickmk]

Levis' sponsored this recording? teh fuck?!

[sweetness70295]

did someone really say fuck nirvana in this video i cant believe tht he was prob drunk

[quickmk]

Dude they should have stopped and said FUCK YOU! Then continued playing. Them FUCKS!

[grassyarse]

the lyrics are superb. kurt's voice too. but my fav is the banjo. many a red neck's hand.

[smefik]

fuck the guy who yells "fuck nirvana" ;/

[SuckMyAssBeatch]

yeah, fuck that guy right in his ass.

[xTRIGGERxTREVx]

wot a insult

[alongtheway1]

Lets face it, the Afghan Whigs are the greatest band to come out of this genre

[Lorudor]

the song played by the meat puppets sucks that hard :/

nirvana made the song kick ass and made it famous

[ARXHMalakas]

the guy can't sing to the songs best attributes that's where kurt comes in.

Still the original has a different raw feel , i like both

[ax105]

Dude the guy in the crowd screams "fuck nirvana!"

[stevenhyde1960]

dude was a dick probbaly if werent for kurt this song wouldent be as famous

[davydyyz]

its sad, nirvana make this song famous, but meat puppets wrote it :s (nirvana is my favorite group)

haha, in the video a guy shouts "nirvana" XD

[SativaBeliver]

please kurt cobain may have wrote some ok songs but he doesent even come close to holding a candle to jimmy pallleassee
