Now i'm checking these out after hearing Nirvanas covers , not to compare just to explore more music. i really like the meat puppets actually , The original versions of Plateau and Oh me are Way better then the nirvana covers. but honestly i think that nirvana , which you can't put full credit too because The brothers from the meat puppets still did the guitar work just Kurt sang. but i really like MTV unplugged version better. might just have to listen this a few more times though
Music is a math and theory, but it is more about the emotion. And, just because something is fast, doesn't mean that it is awesome. It's the injection of the emotion that counts. You can't form an opinion about music with out feeling emotion. Unless; of course, you don't look at music as a conduit for emotions that interprets them into a tangiable means to which our mathematical and logical based brains can understand. If that is the case, then I truly feel sorry for you.
@ pmasta333 - calm down, little psycho! don't work yourself into a rage. you're only acting angry about Nirvana because you are a musical drip. a cipher who can't accept that Kurt Cobain was a gifted musician. You talking about Beethoven and Bach, but what do you know about them? Every kind of music, even Steve Vai and his fusion shit is nothing compared to the complex of classical music. But that will lead to nothing! Music is more than theory and maths, its an art and its about feelings.
@plerimest sounds to me like ur the psycho. and i obviously no rock music is about powerchords, and ur angry comment just agreed 100% with what i said so u are obviously the idiot here. cuz you are preaching to the choir. Im just stating the cold facts down.
Everyone shut the fuck up about Kurt's guitar skills...it's not about the guitar technique or how he sang or whatever. It's about the music...people play how they want to play and if yall can't accept that, then go listen to the music you like and stop dogging on Nirvana, because they were a great band.
ok i take that back i didnt grow to hate them its just after playing guitar i just slowly started to grow out of a lot of music because i just dont get the same feeling that i get from other genres that are more comlex. and i am not even a huge fan of technical stuff. i just like really out of the box like les claypool stlye shit
@pmasta333 - fuck off with Steve Vai or Yngwie Malmsteem. I accept their music but thats just virtuos guitar wank, especially Malmsteem. you call my music taste primitiv, although you dont know it? well good argumentation! Dylan and Cash didnot play solos cause guitars back then sucked?? Come on, thats total bullshit, Jimi Hendrix was the same age than Dylan and played much solos. The point is, there are rhythm guitarists and solo guitarists. Are you too stupid to understand that?
@plerimest I agree with you, I personally enjoy simple soulful melodies more than crazy technical stuff with no soul (Vai is mostly showboating, I'm not that much into Malmsteen). One of the few technical instrumental guitarists I really like is Joe Satraini because his guitar playing is more melodious than just shredding and he also does a good deal of simple melodies, not just shred.
Btw this song and those kind of songs have different appeals, can't say I hate either.
Satriani is the man and btw i never siad anything about one of those artists they brought that up. I never said Nirvana should have epic solos but at leat have something melodic and musically valued once in a while
Not really cuz I am a rythm guitarist and a lead guitarist. And good rythm players comp chords and add extra voicings. Kurt just plays 5 chords all the time along with all new rock groups who dont complete barrre chords or add any flavor to open voicings. Also 16th note picking with pecussion cuz im a funk player
Nirvana is not one of my favourite bands but I accept what they did. If your theory would be correct, then every band without much solo has no quality. thats rubbish. The Beatles were not famous for their solos, and they are the greatest band of the 20th century.
But you guys dont get what im trying to say. they are famous yes i no, but not for their abillity to play, just for what they stood for. I think that its stupid for people to relate to lyrics all the time it turns you into a tool. Why d you think people like hendrix really, its because he was high and trippin ohh la la.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
everyone who thinks nirvana does this better is retarded. Kurt cobain cant even write a freakin solo. the meat puppets did him a favor with that show. An the electric version is way more beast
@pmasta333 - bullshit- shut your mouth!! Their are many famous guitarists like Dylan, Lennon, Cash who never played a freaking solo. Cobain was no Steve Vay or Van Halen and I have never heard that grunge music is renowned for their virtuosic guitar solos. Nirvana is one of the greatest bands of the 90th. Meat puppets later said it was an honor for them to play a show with him. Kurt Cobain was a typical and very talented singer and songwriter, not a virtuoso guitarist.
damn man dont get so mad just because your musical taste is primitive. and you spelled Stee Vai wrong. any good musician wouldnt play in a band that only plays powerchords and no solos. they join blues, jazz classic rock you no actual genres not just scenes and cand wearing cool flannels
musical taste pmasta? You sound like a fasion critic or some faggotry like that. FYI you spelled Steve Vai wrong too. Its amazing how every other douche who thinks he can play a nice little riff always says how jazz and blues are "real" music, almost instantly discrediting good bands of other, newer genres.
In case you weren't aware the general public flocks to certain types of music because of the emotional response, not how intricate their solos are and some bands prefer to give that to them.
Yea but every song That johnyy cash or Dylan played was a 145 or an actual chord progression. Most of nirvanas music isnt in a legitimate key its just random chords.And people like the emotion it gives off because they are whiny, low self esteemed, and have ugly wives like Kurt
I no, and thats why your ignorant. Cz you listen to music because of their message and brainwashing or their fashion sense and not their skill. People who learn to play well and use their brain a little deserve credit. beethoven and Bach were famous for good reasons. Newer rock genres r famous for the same reasons as rappers, its all about the scene and there low esteemed messages that everyone can relate too.
Ignorant? I see u like to assume every person who listens to something mildly Pop-like must bathe in the culture of a single genre to cult status. You know nothing about my musical taste and I couldn't give a shit about what artists I like wear or their message. I listen to music with my ears, not my eyes. U mention Beethoven, whos Moonlight Sonata I can play nearly 100% on piano by memory. Everything from classical to electronic is worthy to me. Don't assume, because it makes an ass out of you.
Damn man i will only keep responding with more shit just give up i out alpha'd you and you no it. Responding back makes you look like way more of a pussy just accept it. And Moonlight Sonata its in C# minor thats a mad easy scale on piano.
And i only judged you cuz you judged me. I love the meat puppet and tons of other regular rock bands. I just really think Kurt Cobain was not all people crack him up to be. He was just that kid in High school who slacked and walked around with a guitar sucking at it, and getting no chicks, and complaining about how its so fucked up. And had no balls to take care of his family or responsibilities
u put up the wrong album cover. u have the cover for Meat Puppets II up which is what Lake Of Fire was originally on but u posted the version off Too High To Die. i like both Meat Puppets versions much better than the Nirvana cover
This isnt the album version. well, i dont have this album, but on the greatest hits album, this song is alot different. Curt sings it like hes drunk on the greatest hits cd.
lol. guess i'm just an old 80's metal guy. i can't stand grunge. i really don't have anything bad to say about them, but i do have to turn the station whenever they come on.
@swamprocker I am a big big Nirvana fan, and i love 80's metal too, and I can see why you wouldn't like grunge, because Nirvana obviously did take over the spotlight and killed 80's metal, and then "grunge" was forced down everyones throats. I don't like the grunge everyone fell for, the real "grunge" is the ones that aren't played everywhere, because if you compared bands like Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, and Creed to bands like Mudhoney, Screaming Trees and Melvins you'd see what grunge is.
the original, which i prefer, was made by meat puppets (album: meat puppets II) and the one kurt cobain did sounds a lot more like that version. this is just an alternative version meat puppets did of their own song.
i dont think a lot of nirvana fans are aware of the fact that this is not the original version of this song made by meat puppets. hence half of the discussions here are pointless...
I have alwayes loved Nirvana, but meat puppets are simply better quality musicians. I guess Nirv. was never really about being "good musicians" as such.
Kurt Cobain was influenced by punk rock, sloppy playing but they play with feeling and passion. That's how Kurt played...and also..he sang and played guitar aswell...Give the guy some credit, lol.
why would you try to get good at something and purposely play sloppy. And there are tons of musicians who sing and play so thats no excuse. He just had poor picking technique
I think its kind of funny that the background video for this song is the Meat Puppets II album. This version of Lake of Fire was recorded in 1994 off the Too High To Die album, as a hidden track.
god dammit, this song kicks so much ass it hurts. everyone do themselves a favor, got o the meat puppets site and download Rare Meat, its a refreshing break from the bull shit music of today
I love the meat Puppets and Nirvana equally. Although Nirvana's unplugged is a bit different it is really just the meat puppets with kurt singing. thats the only real difference othe than tempo and such. Kurt was really the guest on that track, not the kirkwoods
@pmasta333 i hope your kidding, because both had great success. and remember that music is different from one ear to the next so respect the differences man, we dont need a big arguement over good music do we?
@pmasta333 - please stop it, the number of chords says nothing about the quality of the songs. the best rock and pop songs habe only a few chords. make an effort ands listen to nirvana songs and you see kurt uses many different chords.
@plerimest dude how are you gonna even say that. I am saying nirvana has too many chords. most chord proggressions are like 3 chords for the whole song. Obviously you dont know what you are talking about.
@pmasta333 - you are such an musical idiot. You know nothing about rock music. you wanna talk about powerchords. Rock is about powerchords, you little cunt! 3 chords, yeah ever heard about AC/DC, Elvis, Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Status Quo, CCR, Hendrix, Green Day, they never used more than 3 chords in 90 % of their songs. I am not wasting my time with you anymore.
this isn't the cd version of lake of fire...the original one is 1:57 minute long and it is way better than this crappy version and also is better than nirvana's version....which is good, but not as good as the original Meat Puppets II version...
i hate it also how everyone worshipps Kurt, yeh... he is really cool and i like him lots but it was NIrvanas version... not just Kurts, the meatpuppets were also there In mtv unplugged. wow
this is a more upbeat i think like the drums and that its faster but kurts made it more deppresing i think more mellow i think they are both great but i still perfer kurts
I think this is an extremely well written song, however, in comparison, the nirvana cover is soooooo much more emotional as far as vocals go. However, u cant belittle the meat puppets because they wrote it.
I actually prefer the Meat Puppets version and as much as I love Nirvana, I dont think Cobain's is more emotional. Anyway, the Puppet bros were playing Unplugged with Nirvana anyway so it was both!
dude....this is totally chill out music.....you know? Highway 1, pickup truck, a good old pipe in your mouth and you crank up the volume to this song.....duuuude!
@DeadKennedysNirvana8 lol no one honestly likes this version more, if nirvana came out with this song first ppl like cheddar and deadkennedy saying this is better would prefer nirvanas. its all about the original with some ppl and thats just sad
okay, it get's a bit annoying, on every single song nirvana did a cover i read the same comments over and over again-yeah, kurt did it far lot more better. rip kurt cobain etc... okay, yeah we all love nirvana and most of us would never heard of some amazing bands like the vaselines or bad brains or meat puppets if nirvana didn't promote them as much as they did... so guys please chill out a bit!
so you're not the only one that thinks too many people *worship* kurt cobain? but dont get me wrong. i fucking love nirvana. but i find it very annoying too.
Okay, allow me to settle this once an for all. The Meat Puppets are great songwriters. To say "this version sucks because Kurt sang it better" is like saying Bob Dylan's version of "All Along the Watchtower" sucks because Hendrix played better guitar. Kurt did to this song what Hendrix did to Dylan's. Therefore, to say the original sucks holds no bearing whatsoever, because it came first and was going for the songwriting view. Both versions are fucking great but I prefer the Unplugged one.
Dave Grohl plays drums on that one, though. I like the Unplugged performance better because I think the Cobain/Kirkwood match-up works phenominally, but this original meat puppets version also kicks much ass. Keep the good music alive, bro.
you're a moron, Nirvana didn't "do" this song, Nirvana did a concert with the Meat Puppets, these guys were the same guys you heard playing in that "Nirvana song"
This Is Fucking Awesome

what differences? the fact that one of them sucked and one was a fairly decent musician

@pmasta333 i hope your kidding, because both had great success. and remember that music is different from one ear to the next so respect the differences man, we dont need a big arguement over good music do we?

music is not different from one ear to the next its a specific set of vibrations per second

lol i guess your right cuz i used to listen to these songs like omg wow they are gods and nowadays im like yea this song is w/e
pmasta333 1 year ago
@pmasta333 - please stop it, the number of chords says nothing about the quality of the songs. the best rock and pop songs habe only a few chords. make an effort ands listen to nirvana songs and you see kurt uses many different chords.
plerimest 1 year ago
@plerimest dude how are you gonna even say that. I am saying nirvana has too many chords. most chord proggressions are like 3 chords for the whole song. Obviously you dont know what you are talking about.
pmasta333 1 year ago
@pmasta333 - you are such an musical idiot. You know nothing about rock music. you wanna talk about powerchords. Rock is about powerchords, you little cunt! 3 chords, yeah ever heard about AC/DC, Elvis, Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Status Quo, CCR, Hendrix, Green Day, they never used more than 3 chords in 90 % of their songs. I am not wasting my time with you anymore.

I think this is an extremely well written song, however, in comparison, the nirvana cover is soooooo much more emotional as far as vocals go. However, u cant belittle the meat puppets because they wrote it.

okay, it get's a bit annoying, on every single song nirvana did a cover i read the same comments over and over again-yeah, kurt did it far lot more better. rip kurt cobain etc... okay, yeah we all love nirvana and most of us would never heard of some amazing bands like the vaselines or bad brains or meat puppets if nirvana didn't promote them as much as they did... so guys please chill out a bit!
cheers!

heavymetal4010 2 years ago

282828m 2 years ago 2
Okay, allow me to settle this once an for all. The Meat Puppets are great songwriters. To say "this version sucks because Kurt sang it better" is like saying Bob Dylan's version of "All Along the Watchtower" sucks because Hendrix played better guitar. Kurt did to this song what Hendrix did to Dylan's. Therefore, to say the original sucks holds no bearing whatsoever, because it came first and was going for the songwriting view. Both versions are fucking great but I prefer the Unplugged one.

@Duffman42323
Dave Grohl plays drums on that one, though. I like the Unplugged performance better because I think the Cobain/Kirkwood match-up works phenominally, but this original meat puppets version also kicks much ass. Keep the good music alive, bro.
