nirvana covering the cars' 'best friends girl'

[robwayne1000]

i freakin love that fender Mustang he plays!



[bunkteish]

I love it!

[beerbrain420]

Courtney Love was quoted as saying that The Cars were one of Kurt Cobain's favorite bands.

[mountainhigh88]

dirty years de jier story oui whys lies eyes sighs!!

[paintedship]

awful

[PieceofMindmusic]

*Here shee coomes agaaaiiinnn*

[MatthewGMyers1]

no singer in the history of the world had a voice more gripping than Kurt. No one ever will

[WorkingClassAntihero]

that was their last concert ever.

[MARSHOMEWORLD]

Where was this? It looks like a very intimate gig, which is odd considering they were playing arenas by this point.

[gluserty]

thing is, Nirvana and The Cars aren't that different; they have a similiar mentality.

[gluserty]

thing is, Nirvana and The Cars aren't all that different; they share a mentality.

[MyNegativeCreep]

This version is much better than the original ;)

RIP my friend

love you for ever

[mjw9363]

@MyNegativeCreep You bumped your head....loose, sloppy...guitar solo lame...better check out the original again

[Hendygui]

and ten days later i was born...<3 kurt

[AkelA984]

@Hendygui And that day I was born... Nirvana for life!

[Mannul]

Nirvana was great,but they butchered that song.

[hensly77]

i think that was intention

[hensly77]

i think that was their intention

[putr3zka]

nice cover, I love both CARS & NIRVANA..

[kirbygene]

A huge part of the success of this song was that brilliant rockabilly riff that the Cars put in it. This is just three chord strumming.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Nirvana and think Curt Cobain was a brilliant composer, but this cover is sort of ordinary.

[daveychambers523]

@ methstories: what the fuck is wrong with you??? he wrote music the way he wanted to. he didnt wanna do anything but express himslef, so leave him alone.

[bushhater99]

kurt cobain was truly a curse on music. if he were alive today, he would be laying in a gutter with a needle in his arm. the damage he did to rock is unimaginable and inexplicable. i can only assume he was like hitler, with way more charisma than talent or intelligence. like hitler, he created a giant destructive movement with no goal other than self-destruction. no wonder they both killed themselves. well, you cant blame me- i wouldnt buy a nirvana record if courtney love spit aids on me.

[Methstories]

lol no doubt. I couldn't imagine how great music would be if Nirvana was still around. I mean just look at how great Dave and Krist are, so original. Kurt was just fucking awesome. the magic behind guitar.

[TheSZimmer]

If Cobain were still alive music would have been much better. There probably never have been Nsync. But after he died rock didn't no where to go. T

[TheAbstractedmind]

this song take some chops on the gutiar

==============================­=

got to no sum blues scales play them and sing at the same time very nice job fit the voice nicely to

[louisbks]

true mickage001...everything changes when someone dies,specially the way he did...but he was very talented artist indeed with a great stage presence and unique voice!!...

[jamo387]

This sounds like shit.

[rentonrentz]

whatever, it sounds cool in kurt's voice :)

[FuckThisCentury]

they make fun of the cars and billy idol in a interview lol :P think this is a bit sarcastic

[skins555]

It's funny that you wouldn't expect that Kurt would want to play a cars song but his voice fits very nicely!

[brian99555]

actually suprisingly they were a CCR cover band.

[TheSZimmer]

Kurt loved pop music. But it conflicted with his punk sensibilities

[oxrjbizzle1984y]

goddamn i wish kurt was still alive, he couldve put out so much great music from then on, its such a shame! nirvana was one of the few incredible bands that got the success that they deserved!

[MickAge001]

to become a legend you need to die, sounds awful but if kurt was alive he wouldnt be that icon he is today ... he probably would be another rock grandpa like the stones or axl rose and put out that lousy modern pop art music shit. kurt RIP

[xdrangedplya]

His voice is just so legendary.

[XxXxXtHeLoSeRXxXxX]

i love how he sings this

[mavis41558]

Krist Novoselic plays the

bass exactly like Ronnie Barrett.

[VxTQ]

Thank You very much 4 posting!

[Love9Killed4Kurt]

Hmm why were krist and Kurt on the opposite side then usual?

[renantheking]

it was like that on that tour

[shoexy]

she used to be mine

[acepple95]

i was born a year and a day later than this

[renantheking]

bad for you

[acepple95]

way is that bad

[renantheking]

you didnt get to see them

[acepple95]

yea,oh well maybe things are better this way

[renantheking]

i was at the rio concert

i was 15

[devastator226]

whell kurt was influenced by kiss they covered... do you love me......... why all the haters ?

[LORDHOKAGE90]

exactly dude. without kiss there might be no nirvana.

[devastator226]

yeah along with a ton of other bands the ones who hate kiss are either to young to know what the late 70's were like kiss was the biggest bands there was or they are just to stupid ! of course im talking about the original kiss line up i never cared for them after ace and peter left !

[RejectsLover658]

Dude, this is better than the original, by far. In my opinion, that is.

[PearlJammer07]

I like when people don't make full sentences on Youtube. Makes them look real smart. Great cover of this song.

[dwsouthard]

look at this shit!!! You cant tell me nirvana as a band in 1994 could not still have fun together. this is a fucking awesome cover....

P.S. FUCK KISS

[onlener]

ok for one kurt hated being famous thats why he didnt handle being famous, well he says that in his journals and second kiss sucks black dick they think its all about money its not if you think that you shouldnt have music in your life

[Spellbinder20]

behave yourself you fool.

[gluserty]

this is a great cover for a legendary band

[reeeisrubber]

This is cool spam.

[Rockdear]

Until the song of the cars sounds punk and more played for nirvana n_n

[tyroneblusher]

never ending kurt memories...

[kewlklutzklan]

infact.. that was like.. almost worth dying for.

[eaglebaseballfreak30]

lol ur a dick

[kgodzey11]

They did a great job on this song! This is a awesome song.

[fletch00001]

All bands have influences, nirvana covered this, but they were kiss fans as well, amongst other bands.Its their interpretation & how good it is that counts.

[mrtall1994]

You know what's sad, one of the members of KISS called Kurt a pussy. I don't know which one because I don't know KISS very well.

[bobokk]

In the eyes of Kiss, Kurt probably was a pussy. Think of all the money Kurt could have made if he stayed alive. Kiss are always thinking about money but they're honest about it so you can't really hate them for it.

[gluserty]

it is true; maybe kurt cobain could've handled fame better. i suppose he was frightened to express himself to others. KISS is very different. always more focused in making a life out of their talent. i myself cannot blame them for succeeding.

[oxrjbizzle1984y]

kiss are the pussies, they have worn more make-up than woman for decades. at least kurt didn't dress up like a flamer and sell-out like gay-ass kiss, they were an amazing band who deserved their success. they didnt change their music to succeed they were just talented and got the fame naturally! unlike all popular bands right now, the 2000s is the worst decade for rock ever!

[mrtall1994]

I couldn't have said it better my friend.

[beewcar]

It was probably Gene Simmons, the a-hole business man.

[fusile8]

thesongisover you are an asshole

[mysterynmayhem]

omg ive never seen this thats awesome!!!!

[JoeSmoeX]

Oh, I want to add that The Cars and Nirvana - two completely different bands/genres. Both ROCKED and it does my heart good to know that Nirvana loved the Cars enough to cover them. They must've grown up on this music, too.  This is the stuff YouTube was made for!

[PhilM662]

I agree, its exactly what youtube was made from. seeing things you never would have seen otherwise

[JoeSmoeX]

How unbelievably fucking cool! When I saw "Nirvana Covers Best Friend's Girl" in related vids I thought I was dreaming. Love Nirvana - Love the Cars! Guys, it don't get any better than this!

[heavnnnsent]

You got that right, Joe Smoe!

[thesongisover]

and by the way grohl is hardly in the top hundred drummers

think Neil Peart

[asterius909]

Neil pert is okay for an overly technical prog-wanker.If you wanna hear a real drummer check out stevie wonder's drum solo from '66 or so.

[thesongisover]

you have to be kidding me

I like Nirvana, but Cobain would be first to tell you he sucked on guitar, he would forget the lead to smells like, half the time

Ellitot easton is Berkley trained and has forgotten half of what Cobain could ever figure out

be realitic, Nirvana great band not great musicians either were the pistols that's the point

[floyd867]

man,i don't understand the people who post shit on nirvana videos..when i look at comments on a nirvana song there are always some assholes who say:'nirvana suck,'zzz' band is better than them'.why are you searching for their videos if you don't like them...

[PhilM662]

floyd, it sucks but it happens with everyone on youtube, not just nirvana. People just like to start shit.

[TheMorrisonHotel]

most overrated guitarist ever.. great songwriter.. thats about as far as it goes

[bluedoor4]

FUCK YOU! KURT IS AWESOME ! HE DOSENT SUCK AT GUITAIR YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! have some respect you whore!!!!

[hormones93]

you know not to but in the convo, about what happened to kurt but noone knows the real story so really you can't always blame it on it his death happening to himself or courtney love doing it to'em, cause for one thing someone else could've possibly killed'em, it's just to bad noone ever cared enough to give courtney love a lie detector test.

[VoteGingrich]

They just simply couldn't do this song justice because they lacked the talent and style to play like the Cars. Just listen to the drowning guitars in this injustice and you see just how much they had to mask their real lack of ability.

[GrishAnnug]

Dave Grohl is one of the greatest drummers to ever live. Krist Noveselic is a MUCH better bassist than Ben Orr. And Kurt Cobain has his own complete style of playing guitar, unlike Elliot Easton who plays probably the most generic guitar licks i've ever heard. Im not denouncing The Cars as a band, im just saying you cant say Nirvana lacked the talent.

[kjcraft]

I won't say they lack the talent, but I will say they lack the skill.

[WomanWhoSoldTheWorld]

3 days before the rome insedent...fuck this makes me so sad. fuckkkkk :(

i fucking hate courtney love. i hope she burns in hell for doing that.

RIP Kurt Cobain.

[gormano]

hey! i hear ya, i hate the bitch too, RIP kurt

[WomanWhoSoldTheWorld]

: )

[JSTNJNS]

or maybe because cobain is dead? (not to mention the cars have at least 25 years on nirvana....

[fracturedminds]

LOL Lamass version! this is why nirvanwhatever have dissapeared and the cars are still a supergroup.

[GrishAnnug]

Nirvana hasnt dissapeared you idiot. Their front man is just dead, but we continue to hear new material from 20+ years back every week. There's still material out there not made public, and here you're saying they're dead. One of the most commercially successful rock bands to ever grace this earth and you dub The Cars a "supergroup" by comparison. How many times did The Cars surpass Michael Jackson on the pop charts? Nirvana is a super group, and they never even tried to be one!

[bdjr4eva]

KC looks like shit

[kt4no]

This is precious! Nirvana covering The Cars is ahead of my wildest imagination. At the end of this video, it looks like they were going to keep it going, they start singing the first words from another The Cars tune -- "moving in stereo". :-o

[waterbottlehp7]

no, their last concert was march 24,1994....not march 1st

[bigmuffexpress]

No it wasnt, kurt went into a coma 3 days after this, then cancelled all the other europe shows and flew home to seattle. This IS their last show, for absolute definate.

[guitarded78]

yep

[flagg7000]

Bad sound quality, but still, it's awesome that they covered this!

[PixiesFanatic]

AWESOME!

[alienw0rksh0ps]

its called bestfriends girl but it was written by The Cars you cant buy the nirvana version on i tunes

[rocker3444]

whats the song cald?eny one know i want to buy it on itoons :)

[DCNative12]

i love the cars

i hate the quality

but,This version kicks ass

wish this was on an album

[kewlklutzklan]

oh.. that was simply abysmal.

[jimmyblacktown]

lol good luck getting the cars to do a cover of nirvana they wouldnt be able to even sound rock enough to do it.

[LIZAMUS]

they are better than nirvana you twat, thats why they are being covered by them

[DuudelTake]

I like it...okay the quality is bad... but OMG its FUCKIN GREAT^^

[bobernstguitar]

GREAT !!

[mikey1time]

THEY FUCKING RUINED IT....  E.O.M.

[StrangeBrew00]

pretty good, to all the negative feedback id hate to see the cars try and cover nirvana. im not saying the cars suck, there just completely different.

[geektar03]

People that have negative things to say should not comment. This is way better than the origional. TOO BAD THE CARS COULDN'T be like Nirvana.

[420budtoker]

Trash. Complete rubbish. Took a perfectly good new wave tune and screwed it beyond all recognition. I guess death does have some mercy after all.

[diveinme]

my best friends girl, yesh yeah yeah

she used to be mine

[CreamSodaMan]

Oh man i love The Cars And Cheap Trick

[interz0ne]

Great, never seen this before.

And its really from the last Concert(Munich)

I had a Ticket for Hannover, 1 Week later :-(

[tacuvo]

this is great. hadnt seen this before

[SoundOfDentage1]

aye this song is the fucking damage like well good

[fletchowns]

he's so skinny :(

[WomanWhoSoldTheWorld]

probably because thats one of the few times kurt didn't wear a long sleeve shirt, or a sweater on stage. he said he always hated how skinny he was, so he would wear a couple shirts , and then a big jacket.

[SuicideMamogram]

pat looks so out of place

[lyrialzander]

I wish I could have been there...

[jeffkahl]

this is awesome!
