[ChevelleSub]

"I regret having made​the Unplugged, we changed our whole way for a few dollars, if I could go back in time try to change many things, including Unplugged"

Kurt Donald Cobain

[cretem85]

this is actually good!

[ImackenzieI]

[RevivingRichelle]

[winterjargon]

tori amos has big feet and hairy legs, smokes pot , and thinks about visiting her doctor while stoned

[TheFragile89]

@TheCMKXer

" The Truth"

The truth is you believe a soap opera style post on the internet written by a guy with amnesia. No facts to back up what he said, only claims. Think about that logic, although I'm sure you've already justified such insanity in your own head.

I just hope one day you can learn to take a fucking hint, and to not be so easily swayed by people who write bad stories seeking attention.

[Pumpkingilmour]

@TheFragile89 Cobain's LIFE was the fsoap opera, not the post. There is no reason for anyone to lie about this.

[crazyxr6t]

@Pumpkingilmour Kurt often rewrote the lyrics to songs, Im pretty sure he even sung different lyrics to this song on the "LIVE TONIGHT SOLD OUT" vid

[Pumpkingilmour]

@crazyxr6t he hated Smells Like Teen Spirit so much that he did not even include a real live version of it on the "LIVE TONIGHT SOLD OUT!" video project, released after his death according to his wishes. Both Come As You Are and Smells Like Teen Spirit were left out of that video because Cobain hated both those hits due to his having misled people to think that he had written the lyrics to them. The lyrics to both songs were given to him in 1986.

[lophoto]

la meme, mais plus brut de decoffrage. Tori! hello

[TheCMKXer]

Cobain did not even write the lyrics to this song, and hated it, btw.

He didn't not give so much as a whiff of Britney's lost panties

what the fuck was done with this song. He despised it. You cannot

even find one youtube of him singing this song with any emotion.

[TheCMKXer]

You can watch ten different versions of him singing Smells Like Teen Spirit live right here on Youtube, and each and every one of them he deliberately fucks it up with a shitty, emotionless performance. BECAUSE HE DID NOT WRITE THE LYRICS

[TheFragile89]

@TheCMKXer

He wrote the lyrics he wrote the song, I've seen plenty of performances where they've played it well, expecially at the Beehive in Seattle 91.

Where's your concrete evidence of him not writing the lyrics? Put up or shut up, because so far it's Kurt Cobain's journals vs your (nothing).

[TheCMKXer]

@TheFragile89 bullshit, Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit, and Cobain NEVER sang it like it was the highlight of the night. He always sang it like it was a chore. Look on Youtube , there is not one version where he gives it the same energy that he puts into songs like 'Breed' or 'Sliver' &others. Cobain hated Smells Like Teen Spirit because he did not write it. The journals versions were a farce of him trying to rewrite it as his own, He gave up &used the lyrics given,

[TheFragile89]

@TheCMKXer

Lyrics given by whom? Quit stalling, it's a simple question.

[TheCMKXer]

@TheFragile89

here is the link, he was given the lyrics when he was 19 and traveling with the Melvins to Calgary. They did a stopover for the night at the staff hostel in Banff Springs Hotel and an employee of the hotel gave Cobain the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit and Come As You Are:

[TheFragile89]

@TheCMKXer

I've read that before.

Had no idea the story was still around. Please tell me you're not that gullible?

You do know that's a phony story right? Right? Well I guess not, since you're basing your whole argument off of it. I really don't have to say anything because you pretty much are embarassing yourself.

A story on the internet written by a guy with Amnesia (Big Hint Big Hint). You're even using lines the he said "kurt hated the song".

[TheFragile89]

@TheCMKXer You're no better than conspiracy theorists who spread misinformation because of hyperlinks they've read.

That story is written like a bad soap opera, and I just feel really sorry for you that you fell for it. That's all I have to say.

[TheCMKXer]

@TheFragile89 you think you are some are some big hero because you run around with a simulation of Cobain's dick hanging out of your mouth. Stop trying to save the world from the truth. Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. You can suck as hard as you want, it won't quell the truth.

[TheFragile89]

@TheCMKXer

Irrelevant personal attacks, so childish. Big hero? Nah, just trying to stop people like you who spread misinformation 16 years after the fact.

[OzKnosis]

@TheFragile89 just desperately trying to keep the world mired in politically correct ignorance about the song's real meaning, just in case the cheques dry up, huh?Face it you depopulationist reekoffs worship the death of Cobain as a symbol of what you what for the rest of the white population of the world, with the exception of the master race of Israel. Cobain lied about this song. He did not write it. He never should have married the pretentious stinking whore Courtney Hole.

[humanbatteries911]

she is hot. never wear makeup tori.

[majazere]

dogma306....u r a fucking faggot

[dogma306]

this cover fucking sucks!!!!!!! and she looks like she is having a orgasm!

[MrsKoffer]

its like rockn roll without rockn roll

[Anadiocha]

she or nirvana umm... nirvana :)

[adsre]

the best cover EVER!!!!!!

[DangoTeff]

and she left out a good chunk of lyircs

[DangoTeff]

itd be good if it wasnt supposed to be grunge but it just song so dumb now

[2dogsandmouse]

im in love with her, she is so beutiful, and now not sure but i still love her and her voice.

[TOKIOHOTEL1000000]

its nice only not directly a song for a piano

an accoustic version on a acousstic guitar would have been better and it's just a little to slow but its not bad only to far away from nirvana's style (and i don't mean the grunge but just  the even in soft songs the extra hard things they gived it) but i can agree that people like it just not my style of it

[saturninesmile]

no idea, you'd have to ask her

[saturninesmile]

she was so beautiful back then. ruined by botox.

[Nabo00o]

Nice title ;D

[justtimmy99]

ok whos turned on ?? meeeeeeeeee

[0371998]

this SonG is Fucking Cool tHX LAdy TOri AMos!! Mean people Suck On internet.11 LIke Dogma306.... kill you! dear sucker..!no life ..tu es Juste un sectaire insignifiant criss de débile!

This cover of Toris Amos...was in alot of COncert Of Nirvana! in 1992 like presong

[4NorthTL]

Tori Amos is more talented than 90 percent of the music industry right now actually.

[fionasapple]

YES!! shame on tori for trying to turn this into actual music!!

[corbanblaine]

thats sucks. fuck that.

[avalon9276]

let me scratch that last part about not being her best that was a dumb perpspective of me how can i say what someones best is its not mine to say but i do think ive been more effected by her cover of this than this one peace ewf

[avalon9276]

i think tori stays true to the essence of the song the piano and her capture the spirt behind the message which the song is trying to communicate though i have seen her perform this before with more intensity still its a good cover though not her best lol

[ansemthewise]

hmm... a good breakfast cereal cover as kurt would have said

[MadGarlic5]

Its a good tribute. But it ruins the original feel of the song.

[Richaod]

That's the point, it's not supposed to be anything alike.

[latinalatte]

I love Tori Amos

[BlackOrchid66]

Tori is insane!

But i love her :-)

[monkeymusha]

not bad, a nice requiem to our beloved Kurt

R.I.P

[AnthonyGAutopsy]

Not for me.

[FaerieFC]

This version rocks! Never as good as the original but this is as good as any cover of that song is gna get <3

[isolatedyear]

I just can't even hear a minute

[FlorimondH]

j'adore comment elle a complètement pris le contrepied de l'original! je préfère cette version à l'original...

[robertosms]

It's amazing how she can make a song like this herself, erase what originally meant...and give it a totally different dimension. That's what a true artist should be. I love you Tori.

[ibruckelmann]

I don't think she really means something different with the song, it's true that she gave it a new dimension, i think it's simply a great re-interpretation, you might want to check the interview with her on this song.

[tubeyouBLOWme]

nice tits sweatheart

[crashtammie]

You're an idiot.

[DamienxPele]

wow how .... inappropriate

dumb ass

[keriah17]

this song is a beautiful tribute to kurt

[PorscheJosh]

You're totally right.

[bleedingvanity]

crack whore???

what the fuck is wrong with you?

the woman has most likely never touched crack in her life...

that's he style she plays.

[TheCMKXer]

if there weren't so many of you reeking feminist losers supporting the 'crack whore' lifestyle , you wouldn't have to listen to your heroes like Tori Anus and Pigney Rears and Lady Ga-GUT called crack-whores.

[OzKnosis]

@bleedingvanity you've got to be kidding, right? Amos looks like typical drug-using liberal white trash . Of course she has tried every drug there is. Don't be fooled by her pretentious piano posturing. She is nothing but a modern masturbatory fish stench.

[AngelVomit26]

@OzKnosis Tori Amos seems pretty wholesome to me. Not too many "Crack whore, drug using liberal white trash" start a foundations {RAIN} to protect women against Rape. I mean, I'm sure she's a bit racy, but I'd doubt she's a crack whore

[therednurse]

I saw her play many years ago when this had become a rare occurance at her live shows, and all day I had been wishing for her to play it. She did, and when I heard the opening notes I about lost my shit. Brilliant.

[SpamTogwell]

I quite like this...

[AdamSonOfJohn]

She sucks on this.  She has a couple good moments and then she just fucks it up with her Tori Amos signature "Cat In Heat" routine.

[frigginbastich]

she's the best artist ever. I just love her.

[tarby777]

Good grief. How pretentious! Nice idea turning SLTS into a haunting ballad, but she hasn't got the voice or the presence to carry it off.

[HitomiCOD2]

whos Tori Amos? O_o

[HreNmyhead]

whos tori amos?? she is amazingness and farieness and coolnesss

[Jonkingx]

no itsw beautifully sung, I would have loved to be there- she makes it poetry.

[Ibik]

I quite liked this.

[Cirt89]

nirvana did it better

[bambamty]

i actually liked it

[Ibik]

same

[jabre12]

wow this really sucked, i like the studio version alot better, she made it to cheezy and she wiggles and shit, u can hardly hear the piano cause shes draging her voice around, and she looks like a crackwhore, the mic is to close to her mouth, shes sitting to close to the piano, damn I could go on forever!

[samwellboy]

I agree on every point you made. Which is actually quite painful 'cause I generally really like this crackwhore's music a lot!

[jeumort]

I know! The only thing I find disagreeable about this very talented musician is her writhing and her unnecessary pauses and her exasperated breathiness. Sometimes it would just be better for her to sit down and sing the damn song. ut I love her to bits, don't get me wrong.

[TTLYPerfect]

Question: What do you think she could have done to make this even better? (I don't mean adding other instruments, or tracks and stuff, what do you think could she have done better considering that the only instruments present are vocals and piano)? How could she have made this an even better performance?

DISCLAIMER: I do not by any means mean to be rude or offend ANYONE! I am curious purely curious, because I can't see anything wrong with this and want to know what others opinions are.

[boredsun]

this is absolutley beautiful

unfortunate you cant see that

[ef6854]

this is completely awful,this show mtv's global dumbing down of music and people is winning

[Trumpelstilt]

I think Amos recorded this tribute in advance because she knew that the occult elite were going to murder Cobain eventually.

[jabre12]

roflmao

[dannypear]

Not as good as original at all, but still kool

[thejunk573r]

thats a ridiculously crude thing to say and im not even a tori fan. wtf is wrong with u.

[Hemmil]

lol.. I love to see that so many people coverd his song.. I wish Kurt Cobain was alive and making more stuff like this..

[Trumpelstilt]

at 3:04 she puts her right hand between her legs and starts wacking off

[Floydfan101]

ummm no she doesn't. she puts it on the bench because she wasn't using it in that part.

wtf?

[wolfnwren]

men are funny...

[happycouple214]

Your a FUCKING idiot!! if you dont like her, dont like her! But that was a REALLY RETARDED THING to say when you can clearly see where Her hands are!! God! Fucking STUPID!!!!!

[Fadingrose07]

lmao.

I'm sorry it sucked. I like a lil Tori Amos sometimes but this just went over my head. Admit it...it SUCKED!!

[pencillthin]

love it

[vsilver839]

Wow thanks for posting this. Such a great version, and I love her little bit at the beginning.
