Nirvana - SLIVER / DIVE by Little Roy

[tadeuposer]

grunge, reggae, indie, whatever. just get high.

[Akilah88]

OH MY GOD

[ShawnDotMX]

I'm not entirely sure why this works. But it does.

[bandaothila]

VERY GOOD!!!!!!!

[3avt]

well..the reggae music change the grunge,..

[iEatStrawberries]

Haha! 420 likes and i saw the moment when i was firing my joint. xD

[LeboviciAB84]

The brass on 'Dive' reminds me of 'Geno' by Dexy's Midnight Runners.

[BRGrunge]

Kurt Loves Marijuana! hehehehehehe! :D

[philsavory]

Woo hoo!

[KCMU90S]

Pure love, much respect.

[gypwin]

great song.inspired me to have a go.check out my videos as well and make an old guy very happy..cheers

[012greenej]

Gravitating gnome.

[DustyAndPistolPete]

I cannot believe how good this is.After years of rubbish from Evanescence,Limp Bizkit,Flyleaf and Hannah Montana covering Nirvana finally something with as much artistic credibility as the band themselves.I love this.His voice is unreal as well.

[colosalblack]

damn these covers are too much haha i can't get enough of them

[86Munster]

Hate Nirvana, their stuff always sounded so horrible. This is why this has surprised the hell out of me, because it's very, very good.

[StoneyHempman]

@86Munster well behind all their distortion its all pop music, which always fits well with reggae. Have you ever heard reggae covers of the beatles, fits well. most people get so turned by the "angsty, grunge" scene, that they totally ignore how poppy nirvana where like 85% of the time.

[srekazinskas]

@StoneyHempman yea if kurdt wouldnt have a distortion pedal it would sound pretty much like the beatles

[nirvanacreep234]

awesome i do like the original better but this is impressive

[TheMistamu]

Oh god... this is horrible! I have heard quite a few Nirvana cover abominations, but this tips the scale to godawful so hard, even the gods of bad taste would throw up in their collective mouths.

[Haihiru]

@TheMistamu You are aware that the remaining members of Nirvana signed this off and approved this :)

[TheMistamu]

@Haihiru The "Approval" doesn't increase the quality of this cover. I can understand the remaining Nirvana band members doing this as it continues the legacy of the original band... may it be to simply stroke their collective egos or making more cash

And let's be honest, there are tons of better original reggae songs out there without trying to shine in another bands glory screaming, "I want a piece of that good olde (insert random legendary band here) action"

"Cover" is just a synonyme for lazy

[thepotholez]

obviously the haters are not artists, or they would understand that a cover is often an opportunity for an artist to re-interpret a piece of work from their point of view.. if you don't like it, don't listen to it, simple as that

[TheMistamu]

@thepotholez I'm sorry, just because I do not swim along your collective opinion, doesn't make me a hater in general. And also, I study the fine arts, which makes you wrong on two levels. You shouldn't shove people into drawers, just to derive them of their opinions. I didn't bash anyone for their opinions here.

Also I can listen to what I want and state my opinion whenever I want.. otherwise this song wouldn't be publicly accessible and open criticism would be banned from this site, no?

[holik666]

@TheMistamu

""Cover" is just a synonyme for lazy"

you obviously know very little about reggae culture, since it has been based on versioning since rocksteady age pretty much. but yeah, of course you´re entitled to your opinion and criticism. it´s just pretty hard to take it seriously.

[TheMistamu]

@holik666 "based on versioning since rocksteady age"

just because a music culture has been doing it for a long time, does it make it better?

and if you really couldn't take it seriously, you would've ignored my post like so many others and just enjoyed the music.

but here you are trying to undermine my aesthetic thinking with superficial knowledge about music history.

I do not critisize others for liking this song... just stating my point.

But you,sir/ma'am on the other hand, act like a douche

[holik666]

@TheMistamu

i did enjoy it nonetheless and i´m not trying to stop you from doing exactly the opposite. and if you don´t know the difference between "based on" and "done for a long time" it isn´t very hard to see who is the douche here. context, ever heard of it? yo i didn´t try to undermine your opinion at all, you´re entitled to have your own opinion, but you can´t have your own facts.

but please go and enjoy something more suitable for your aesthetics.

and have a good one.

[TheMistamu]

@holik666 1: what facts did i bring in except, that i didn't like the music?

2: Stating that "Cover is a,etc" is not a fact, but a pesonal opinion

3: You brought in historical facts into a discussion about aesthetics, which is usually done to show ones superiority in the field of music trying to undermine someone elses opinion, hence my statement about you being a douche

4: I dont tell other people, what they should listen to, why do you?

5: your nitpicking about my statement makes you a douchè

[holik666]

@TheMistamu

now i am acting like a douchè because i`m replying you once more.

1. none.

2.true. but it is customary to have an opinion based on something. personally i like facts and context.

3. historical facts tend to be a factor to the aesthetics of a genre.

4. i did´t. i was suggesting you´d listen to something more pleasing, but if you´re into masochism, do that then.

5. you had no point.

[TheMistamu]

@holik666 Sorry for taking so long to answer, but this discussion is not really important to me, but as I am a courteous person, I feel obliged to tell you of your douchedom

1:facts have nothing to do with personal aesthetics which define individualism

2:it is natural to inform yourself about something you like, that makes you like everybody else

3: Actually using that knowledge against someone, who just stated that he doesn't like the music, or the way it is handled makes one a douche

good day

[PieceofMindmusic]

@TheMistamu - they don't need to stroke their egos or get anymore money. They were never those sort of artists anyhow. This is really creative I think. This is neat no one is trying to steal anyone else "glory" or rip anyone off, its simply an artistic reimagination for fun.

[nafen86]

This is weak, in comparison to come as you are by lil Roy. Sounds like a comedy skit.

High hopes for battle for seattle..

[KyesJrCarlsbadFilms]

@pintadopedro17

Its not ark music factory, you tard

[SteveBeck2]

BEST.......THING.....EVAR! *faints*

[MrTiarley]

ahahaah yeah

[nanadasna]

He killed Toad from SM64

[Gazelle78Sideburns]

Thumbs up if this made you smile :)

[willem01]

at 1:49 on the demo version it goes "grandpa had a cigarette, touched my arm on accident..."

i like it better, but i guess kurt didt want people to think his grandfather was a bad person...??

[willem01]

@5d5d5d5s i think that was what i sad...no?

: I

[Lenjaful]

@willem01 I guess youre from holland, arent you? Well me too. But whatever, let's get back to the point. The point is that he's covering the demo version of Sliver, and in that version Kurt uses the lyric 'My grandpa had a cigarette, it touched my arm on accident' and he changed it for the album version :)

[willem01]

@Lenjaful im realy not following you....i know he changed it for the album version, like i sad i my original comment...(i said i thought he changed it so he wouldn't insult his grandfather)

And in your comment you also say "he's covering the demo version of Sliver" wich he's not....irealy dont get what you're trying to say.

im also not from holland...

[jubao03]

Por causa disso, Kurt colocou uma espingarda na boca e puxou o gatilho ( Because it, Kurt put a shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger )

[pintadopedro17]

ark?? this is too good for tht

[mrshnarfles]

THIS IS SERIOUSLY THE DUMBEST ARGUMENT EVER!

Ever see that video where Kurt said "people put too much thought in my lyrics"? THAT'S WHAT YOU PEOPLE ARE DOING SO STOP!

[Juanirva]

dive is great

[Juanirva]

this one bores me a little, i'll stick to the original

[freshjive2002]

Woo eargasm. . . Kurt would be smiling to this. :)

[Skylo420]

dood i love this.....brings back so many memories....

simply awesome.

[janyvprs]

very interesting reggae version this was pretty cool!

[Kukori84]

I need a joint...

[KILLNemesis7840]

nice cover

[556678354]

damn this is actually really chill

[TheGreySea2]

I've never used itunes, always beatport, juno, ithink, bandcamp etc.. I can't find any FLAC option... :( I don't BUY LOSSY MUSIC I'm sorry. What about oceania vinyl distribution, where is the nearest shop with it..

[Freshadeneu]

I mean that's cool, but he changed my favorite line to "killed a toad".

[h879xx]

@Freshadeneu what is that lyric then? a few of the lyric websites say the same thing. That line was always a bit inaudible. I don't think it matters.

[Freshadeneu]

It's I killed my toe. That's what it is. Doesn't have to make sense to you. That's just plain what it is.

[h879xx]

@Freshadeneu oh you must have access to Kurts lyric books. The fact is the lyrics were never printed. Killed my toad does make more sense. wtf does killed my toe mean?

[Freshadeneu]

@h879xx Uh, no dumbass. If you listen to ANY OTHER VERSION OF THIS SONG, you'll find it's not TOAD. He's speaking through the eyes of a child, killed my toe makes perfect sense and why is his toad at his grandmas? Killing your TOE is a reason for asking grandma to go home. Go listen to the acoustic version thats linked to this version. He says toe. Toe. That's what it is. Sorry.

[h879xx]

@Freshadeneu I never said it was toad my weird internet friend. I'm saying nobody knows. There's always some freak on every comment page. On this one it is you. I don't come here to argue with nerds or talk shit to people. In reality if you called me a dumbass I would smash your fucking teeth down your throat but you go ahead and hide behind your computer. No one cares.

[Freshadeneu]

@h879xx Ok dumbass. Go on with the rest of your life then.

[h879xx]

@Freshadeneu zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Freshadeneu]

@h879xx word,

[chaseduran]

@Freshadeneu I always thought it was "I killed my toad." The other one, "I killed my toe," just doesn't seem right. Usually when you ride your bike you kill your knee. Idk.

[Freshadeneu]

Naw. HIs toe got kilt, not his knee. That's just how it is.

[chaseduran]

@Freshadeneu It's, "I killed my toad."

[Freshadeneu]

No it's not.

[chaseduran]

@chaseduran Yes, it is. Think about it. Kurt had pet turtles--probably had pet toads as a kid too. So It seems more likely that killing his toad would be more significant to him in a song about having a bad time at his grandma's than, say, stubbing his toe while riding his bike. How does one do that anyway?

[TheGreySea2]

for sale digital FLAC on juno etc?

[MrPajamaShark]

I think this cover also highlights the songwriting ability of Kurt. I love it.

[fakeplasticduran]

it took my headache away!

[brix42]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!! 

[Nonexistanthuman]

jaaaa rastafarrriiiiiiii I and I like this tune.

[asdflkjhasfdlkjh]

[schwencke10]

[h879xx]

@schwencke10 No. No i can't.

[FunkinFit]

We so much liking these pop recordings you play us here.

Maybe we make the sweet music together?

[srekazinskas]

Gramma take me home smooth operator, i need some weed right now

[SpasticIBS]

rofl."I killed a toad"

[golfertaylor18]

Disgraceful. It evokes none of the emotion of the originals.

[javier0100]

@golfertaylor18 cool story bro

[jahnni]

[TheReverendM]

Amazing! :D

[thehaggistrap]

[TllGrrl]

This feels so good...it makes me smile and chair dance.

[purplevolcano]

I got a link to this on my email - don't know how that happened, but I haven't liked reggae since I was a teenager - sorry.

[frankwarby]

That's more like It Frank Warby

[TijuanaBoxing]

Hard core Nirvana fan here, and I'm buying this vinyl for sure!
