[circlejerks450]

[INDIANBLANKET]

[nirvanaweezer1]

[LDB37]

FUCKIN EH

fuck cobaine and his pussy alternative grundge.

this is the way it should always be played. period.

where do bad folks go when they die, they dont go to heaven where thAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!

[martianrum]

@LDB37 considering kurt and meat puppets were good friends would make them what pussies too then. shut the fuck up and know what your talking about. they both make great music. music should be played by the passion by the artist, not to satisfy fucks like you. that is all. good day

[LDB37]

@martianrum haha there is a difference between them is one MADE THIS SONG, and the other one copied (poorly) it then blew his brains out like a fucking LOSER . but that shouldnt affect little fucks like you. that is all . good day.

[martianrum]

@LDB37 your opionion is yours, and you even argue what i said because you know your statement was wrong.

[LDB37]

@martianrum holy fuck thanks for pointing nothing out, DOC!

[ColdOasisU2]

truly great rock n roll band

[jimbogoobar]

0:55 great song but... "They don't go to heaven were the AAAAAAAIAHGHOHA"

[antdigger]

These guys ripped off Nirvana.

[ShayanCarousel]

@antdigger Just so you should know, this is originally by the Meat Puppets. They made it way back in 1983. Cobain just played it at Nirvana's Mtv Unplugged show and it became famous.

[jimbogoobar]

@antdigger Fail.... im sorry but you suck

[guitaRpLayErrnR12]

i love that song^^^^^^

[RoundBla42]

when i heard nirvana version i thought meat muppets were a country band xD

[teewoods]

THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!!! SOFT ROCK IS WHERE ITS AT!!!

The eagles, Clapton, Joel, Sting, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Chicago, Steve Perry, Eric Carmen, White Snake e.t.c I could go on but why waste my time!!!

[derwos]

@teewoods yeah yeah, go fuck your mom in hotel california. why did you click the link to this video anyway?

[wolfthing11]

I can't believe the meat puppets would steal from nirvana like this.

[Nirvanaredblack]

@wolfthing11 meat puppets made it first dumbass

[beselbic]

I like how Curt just screams out in the middle of singing a lyric. He seems damn near possessed. Awesome raw performance.

[allaboutdatGDA]

freddie says RELAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX­XXXXXXXXXXXXX

[herecomesjossy]

I'm sure Kirk Cobain gave this band a little kick in popularity ehehe

[LaughingatpainUSAway]

punk style

[darklyerotic17]

'they don't go to heaven AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH' :D hahahahaha best live ever @D

[redpump100]

awesome



[Peepholecircus]

joy!

[ALPHADOG3]

thought this was an original nirvana song back when kurt sung it unplugged, found out it was the meat puppets, went out and bought their cd (remember cd's lol)

[ThePavemented]

it sucks that Im only allowed to click 'Like' once...

[Bleach1er]

BAD FUCKIN' ASS!

[wazaawaza]

nirvana kicks there ass



[Sam5726]

Meat Puppets youtube videos, where obnoxious Nirvana fanboys roam every corner.

[LDB37]

@wazaawaza

i dont wanna know what they use their tongue for in the privacy of hell.

now do like cobain and DIE

[mstrkrftjr]

lol kurt idolized the meat puppets, they almost remind me of the grateful dead, so many musical styles and the just enjoy jamming, fuck the rest and enjoy the nuances of alt music in general.

[jchargin]

The BEST Grunge Band. I like all their shit man.

[michaellovegrove]

This band is amazing. Thank you MTV unplugged for introducing me to them!

[lolhibitch]

@redjagstang7 curt its a member of meat puppets, dumbass!

[redjagstang7]

eff you all for saying all that shit about Nirvana.

[ratstompmusic]

[gonzowisco]

@rukulathegamer hell 2 the fucking NO....they were both great !!!!! sit back n think about unplugged....kurt wasnt gonna do it without them...n they let HIM cuz they knew that kurt HAD IT !!!!!!!!!

[tmaddoxl]

Good Morning

[widdiebram]

lol am im the only one that likes both the version of nirvana and the normal (meat puppets) version?

[steiketa]

@widdiebram No they're both excellent!

[XXXgrimloveXXX]

@widdiebram no!



[stewpot39]

@widdiebram no i think both versions are really good...have to admit i didnt know the song til nirvana covered it but now enjoy meat puppets too

[ericisthere]

The shit Curt Kirkwood comes up with on the guitar is sick. The Puppets are great.

[GodBurger]

Nirvana sucked balls. Not in comparison to this or that band . they just were talent challenged. It was Nirvana who made marketable tha hard to sell shit to generation. Once they bought into their own bullshit. well you now the pathetic story Curt 'nobrain

plus they are a total rip off of Squirrel bait.'

[GodBurger]

[RSCAowns]

ffuuuuucckkk this is good :D

[kudesniksatut]

wild boys!

[virus75950]

nirvana's version was way way better than these punks! they literally ruined the whole song. Lead singer is not even singing or screaming; he's not even with the flow. Just yelling his mouth off! what a disgrace! I can't believe that this is their song not Nirvana's...

[kaiserwill3]

@virus75950 You do realize the Meat Puppets PLAY on the Nirvana version right?

[virus75950]

@kaiserwill3 i know but they weren't singing (back vocals don't count much).... you tell me that did ya like this version or Nirvana's version ?

[tehairwave]

You dont need to remember the lyrics of your own song, not even sing tuned when u rock like this!

[spu52]

can not explain how much i respect cobain and nirvana...but this just blows my mind away! meat puppets ftw!

[groovey65]

Nirvana covering meat puppets was the worst possible thing that could have happened to this band!

[mazsolex]

"Where do bad folks go when they die? They don't go to heaven where T!..WaaaaAh!!!" =D

[cy388]

Nirvana's version is better :)

[paranoia2rrd]

I've seen them yesterday. They are amazing!!

[starkyliam]

I think the lyrics to this song were meant for Nirvana's style of playing, but both are good!! i like the Meat Puppets take on this song

[Mikenoronha]

@starkyliam

but.....The Meat Puppets wrote this song. How are the lyrics "meant" for another band? Nirvana covered it for an acoustic set. The song will obviosuly have a different character with electric guitars full of distortion. Duh.

[starkyliam]

@Mikenoronha yes, the Meat Puppets wrote this song. Duh. But, maybe you see "Lake of Fire" as a moshing song, but I don't. Freedom of Speech. Duh.

[1996Guitarkid]

this isnt the meat puppets, thers only curt kirkwood

[psychick023]

Sure Kurt Cobain has his place but at least Curt Kirkwood is still alive and kicking and isn't doing this as a cover.

[icelineman]

Mr Cobain's version has more passion.

[Stax980]

@icelineman yeah it rules but he dosent heve the ARGHHHH

[moron3D]

better than the studio's version

[francocanales]

love this version!

[91Metalhead]

really love all the AARRGGH's they are hilarious

[TheYoungACDC]

OH SHIT IS SO FUCKING, FUCKING,FUCKING......no words.

[juliebully8]

no no comments like urs cause problems like this

[PedroJunRodrigues]

This could be the best show of our lifes hahaha =D

[juliebully8]

nirvana is much better

[AwesomeSauceLimited]

@juliebully8 shut the fuck up, i love both bands, but comments like yours just start comment wars.

[oskrvillar]

Curt Kirkwood is a genius very good guitar player the guy has a huge imagination.

Fuck me those are such beautiful Gibsons.

[MuscularBeaverx]

[Remeday]

Curt is the man! Love the Puppets!

[tittyj2020]

nice Gibson

[luisadrian666]

[fede018]

@luisadrian666 because he brought them to the masses, you dumbass!

[GrungePunk41]

scheiße die sind echt geil, warum dauert es immer so lange biss man so ne band findet

[kara65louky]

dude. puppets.  saynomo.

[Tysomba]

alba goda von taka le volvala nirvana calla con balls!

[juan0770]

Im big fan of Nirvana since i was 11have a big tattoo on my back said Negative Creep but If you like Nirvana cover more that this one is cos you don't even like grunge or what was Nirvana. I mean, Nirvana Umplugged is amaizing but is ACUSTIC! I like Nirvana cos Kurt was fcking crazy ! He scream and sing with power and felling, but umplugged still acustic. so who said that Nirvana cover is better is cos you only like Umplugged of Nirvana like a lot of ppl, so shut the f off and respect !

[deadinside7]

@juan0770 I give this comment a grade F for severely poor spelling, grammar and common sense.

[Akira3441]

@juan0770 Agreed.

[zimzum13]

The lordz of brooklyn version is better!!!

[PieceofMindmusic]

has a ery strong early butthole surfers feel to it. me likey.

[rawdawg15]

this is soooo bad

[yuosid]

stolen from Nirvana ...

[madchronz77]

@yuosid example of a musical newb

[yuosid]

@madchronz77 they stole "Plateau" too ...

[ScottieWallace]

@yuosid fucking moron... the meat puppets wrote it, and even played it with nirvana at mtv unplugged... wtf!!

[joaoslb111]

@yuosid geez ,u really r dumb --'

kurt even said that they were covering from meat puppets .

[JoshBoyy1]

@yuosid its a meat puppets song...

[DJYoshaBYD]

@corpsemunger sigh.. what does it even matter to you? so what if people worship him? I for one, do not, but so what if they do? that is what life is about.. liking what YOU like, not what someone else likes.. get off your high horse.. im sure you listen to music that some might consider crap, as well.. just get over it.. lol.. i made my original post 4 MONTHS ago.. lol.. do you really have nothing better to do? hahahaha

[crazyjesusman]

Sorry pals. Good song, but Kurt made it incredible.

[DJYoshaBYD]

@corpsemunger i know that there is more to nirvana.. but no one cares about dave's drums on that album, as there was nothing special, and chris is a mediocre bassist at best, so he was no special on that album.. lol.. i dont even like the fucking meat puppets.. haha.. sorry opinions annoy you.. maybe you shouldnt pay attention to the internet's comments, as its full of opinions that are not your own.. actually, im not sorry.. hahahahahahahaha.. deal with it.. this version is weak.. poop :D

[corpsemunger]

@DJYoshaBYD perhaps reread my comment so you actually understand what i said...

you do realize the kirkwood brothers were playing on MTV??

so if anything it was Meatpuppets feat. Nirvana

and besides just because Krist dont just go all showy offy and shred doesnt make him an amateur.

its not "opinions" that annoy me - where did you get that from? - its people worshipping Kurt Cobain - sucking up to him almost....

"ooh Kurt you made this ugly song beautiful" BULL SHIT

[nafebronafe]

don't like the kurt cobain version too slow, i like hardcore not grunge even though they are related.

[Skeloguy]

Gota love the random cursing and screaming at 0:48

[TheFakeBurger]

@Skeloguy I was gonna give you a thumbs up, but accidently pressed "down".. I'm sorry, dude! xD

[corpsemunger]

I love this more than the acoustic one, here is why:

this has more meaning and emotion, just because its slower and more melodic doesnt meen its more emotional, These guys wrote the words and they sing it how they like -

i really like the vibe on this record - the acoustic is a little slow, this rolls along like its flying

its great

[Patrycz4k]

@corpsemunger you're wrong

[corpsemunger]

@Patrycz4k about what? care to expand???

[southshorebits]

He gets super pumped then retreats inside himself, probably came down haha

[southshorebits]

He gets super pumped up then retreats inside himself, probably came down haha

[southshorebits]

this is fucking awesome

[fla4xhit]

have some respect. these guys inspired KC.

[rypat34]

I'd love to see them live

[M1STERL33T]

kurt did it better ...sorry but sometimes covers are better ...look at shinedown simple man vs origanal ....much better

[RAQUEL85513]

a nirvana le sale mejorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrr

[jrack13]

maybe the best live show ever! so much fuckin energy

[TheRedOneMetal666]

nirvana's version is good but this is just awesome!!! :D

[GodBurger]

@TheRedOneMetal666 nirvana were a gimmick and they always sucked balls.

theses folks here or C.Loves whipped pussyboy???fuck Seattle

[TheJewishKoolAidMan]

@TheRedOneMetal666 nirvana is like them on sedatives

[zzzzWHYzzMEzzzz]

@TheJewishKoolAidMan nirvana is not like them.....

[reddranger]

@TheRedOneMetal666 this, like man who sold the world, were made better by kurt. way better.

[UpWithTheIrons666]

The Meat Puppets were the Nirvana before Nirvana

[MarSilF]

@UpWithTheIrons666

Only they know how to write music WAAAAAY better in my opinion.

I hate Nirvana for stealing thunder from the real bands of the 90's.

[UpWithTheIrons666]

@MarSilF but Nirvana didnt go country

[hemorrhoidprime]

@MarSilF stealing WHAT thunder? the only reason any of those "real bands" got any hype at all is because nirvana opened the floodgates. not that nirvana is any better or worse than any of those other 80s/early 90s amerindie bands but nirvana is the reason you've heard of a lot of them today

[LDB37]

@hemorrhoidprime

what the FUCK are you talking about.

nirvana never opened the flood gates to anything!

except maybe hilarity and disgust.

i pity their version of this song and pity anyone who spent a buck on a single record from those useless cocksuckers.

if you think so highly of cobain go do what he fuckin did! DIE

[SixbulletRussianRoul]

They don't go to heaven where angels AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[seelow123]

@SixbulletRussianRoul thats fuckin hillarious!!!

[konheeed]

grunge

[Kurtly1967]

better then the acoustic version with nirvana! =D

[7kole4]

I like Meat Puppets alot, they can play very good. But when they did it with Kurt, that was the best performance they ever did... All 3 of there guitar playing along with kurts voice, and with Daves drumming... if only they would have made a side project band while Nirvana was going towards the end. That would have been one of the best bands in the universe.

[ReversedMan]

Sick

:D

[Wilson2able]

love this song

[Jakie22v]

 Nirvana was better. They're sucks.

[desartare]

@Jakie22v Are you stupid or what??? This is a Meat Puppets song!!! Nirvana just cover it with Kirkwood brothers, so, how can you say that they sucks when they played it on MTV's Nirvana Unplugged!!! You're an idiot!!!

[saucyred1]

@Jakie22v You suck!

[UpWithTheIrons666]

@Jakie22v Nirvana is my favorite band but u have to give credit where credit is due

[GuitarMaster6567]

they dont go to heaven where the angels AGHHHHHHHH

[CiphersSon]

today

[rukulathegamer]

Meat Puppets = Insane art. The "Meat puppets 2" album are really beautiful... And for you guys going "These guys was Kurts favorite band", that aint true, sorry. If youve heard the 1-2 hour long interviev "About a son" he says that its The Beatles, because they got him into music, however, he was a huge fan of Meat Puppets, the vaselines, Mudhoney and the melvins..

[necrowolftheband]

I've played on that stage

[JoeKickassRMFC]

@necrowolftheband yeah right. stop lying for attention.

[deathsrighthand656]

@JoeKickassRMFC What are you talking about I played on that stage with Elvis and Muddy Waters

[necrowolftheband]

I've played on that stage!

[TIONSUXANDROX897]

Heh heh, these guys are terrible but they completely blow Justin bieber away.

Though grunge ain't dead, Gerry weir is taking up the crown Kurt used to wear. Check him out, and see if we can make him go viral. Show people that music ain't dead.

[franfender]

@Chubachus technically the "Nirvana version" is just the Meat Puppets with Cobain singing

[franfender]

@hakonvar technically the "Nirvana version" is just the Meat Puppets with Cobain singing

[juggalohaven123]

look at 0:52 to 1:00

[GuitarMaster6567]

funny how Kurt was more like this style but when he played this song it was all calm

[ganzer88]

nirvanas version is a million times better

[franfender]

@ganzer88 technically the "Nirvana version" is just the Meat Puppets with Cobain singing

[tashalynn81]

Nirvana didn't rip off anyone.. Meat Puppets was Kurt Cobains favorite band.

[cuzzy2007]

Listen to the version on Meat Puppets II. Nirvana obviously ripped off that original version of the song.

[hemorrhoidprime]

@cuzzy2007 they didn't "rip it off," they covered it. with the meat puppets themselves. both nirvana fans and puppets fans can be so asinine about this "issue"

[corpsemunger]

i way prefere the origional, dont get me wrong i love nirvana but this has so much more of a vibe.

love it

[TheJona980]

esta mejor con kurt cobain

[Bored1352]

i like nirvanas version more

[franfender]

@Bored1352 technically the "Nirvana version" is just the Meat Puppets with Cobain singing

[utubeThatOneBand]

awesome, way better than nirvana cover

[DaMopmop]

I have to say, this version is pretty God awful. Nirvana FTW.

[Caribou1983]

@DaMopmop dude..you know nothing....

and i guess I'm an older Nirvana fan than you are

[herkyjerky42]

@DaMopmop yeah listen to the album version you pile of shit

[clubby9806]

See kids, THIS is why you do drugs

[afpagano88]

@clubby9806 hahaha damn rite

[morganjake]

see kids this is why you do drugs

[scarymoviaddict]

Kurt really loved these guys, it was more of an honour for him to cover it than to try and "steal the song from them".
