Nirvana rehearsing "the man who sold the world"

[MrHaggis03]

For me, it`s one of the handfull of songs in the history of songs where a cover is better than the original version.

It always reminds me of a guy at work(25 years ago) telling me that Michael Bolton sang a better version of `Sittin on the dock of the bay` than Ottis fuckin Redding.

[romemasa]

i love dave

[mrdantesaurio]

[stocker104]

Nirvana was The Beatles of the 90s

[18Scarecrow]

sick of seeing little kids posting about bieber all over youtube, as if he is a superstar to anybody in the world who isn't a teenager.

[Breconroad]

Nirvana owned the 90's, their music defined a new era by just doing their own thing!!

[this2shallpass2008]

@Breconroad Alice N Chains too!!!!

[kezie666666]

awesome

[jokingmilad]

i like the devid bowie version but i think this is better version. But! ''ONE DAY ONE SONG-the man who sold the world'' had THE BEST VERSION

[RAGE343]

Haha, that's perfect indeed, Mr. Cobain.

[reecegrdn]

I guarantee you i will screw this song up

[brentyesm]

that cello just Kinda pulls your soul out of you towards the End leaving you feeling like you have to beg for it back ...............

[Scully0820]

O, Kurt...

O, Nirvana...

[BigLaundry17]

@nickwith21sticks he actually plays with the foo fighters

[nickwith21sticks]

who's the other guitarist? he look familiar

[timostoneage]

@nickwith21sticks Its pat smear.He only played live stuff with nirvana to give them a fuller guitar sound after In Utero.He also played with foo fighters in ealy days left and then came back on their last record..

[prosack10]

@nickwith21sticks if he looks familiar, maybe he is you father or you uncle,

[TheRockarmy13]

Love this song so much;p

[aSullenRiot1]

happy birthday Dave Grohl (me and him have the same birthday)

[MrElloco1979]

I always thought he was talking about GOD selling the world and how it went to shit after he did

[xxiney]

i miss performances like this ╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻  just keep it simple.

[TheTohkonChambers]

nirvana fans = dirty hippies who stink like butt

[AchLstStnd]

[akscoolfcuk]

[MetallicaHA]

[ahmadaz96001]

@akscoolfcuk what? u'd give james for kurt? are you mental? what about axl rose?

[SayGreenday]

@ahmadaz96001 LOL

[KlaudytaPovedita]

I think Kurt had respect 4 Bowie and Bowie 4 Kurt as well. Happy Birthday Bowie & thanks for making one of my favorite Nirvana songs. I personally like this version better but for ever respect, he gave a lot to music & it's evolution. It's a good version of a good song, Bowie was always positive on his lyrics, Cobain different story. Anyway Dave (drummer) was always making fun of Kurt during this unplugged, I mean Kurt wanted to do good. I don't care about Dave, to me he has 3-6 good songs. =)

[maeges]

@KlaudytaPovedita

...you just wrote this outa my heart...

[PozzasSingingCareer]

@KlaudytaPovedita Good comment but Dave has loads of great songs crafted with talent!

[KAMD052694]

I always thought Kurt Cobain sounded like John Lennon but with a Seattle/American accent,they sing in the same range too.

And John Lennon knew David Bowie and even helped him with some songs,like Fame..

Coincidence?

[BNSF1985]

@TheTohkonChambers is an agitator dont give this prick the time of day people

[TheTohkonChambers]

nirvana fans are not nice.mean pieces of shit!

[quietcrowd]

@TheTohkonChambers I didn't know you could stand up to us, you fucking fag, get the fuck out of here

[KeMLinD]

@TheTohkonChambers well then stop writing here if you think so

[Afrolunatic]

TheTohkonChambers? wtf is that lmfao oh wait i just remembered its the name of a gay mens bath house i drove by the other night, makes so much sense now

[TheTohkonChambers]

nirvana fans are worthless pieces of horse shit.

[Afrolunatic]

@TheTohkonChambers only a stupid piece of horse shit would make a statement like this please put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger immiedately

[TheRomulomiranda]

muito foda \o

[SuperCattv]

@TheRomulomiranda foda é pouco, amigue kkkkkkkk simplesmente um dos caras mais perfos que pisaram no planeta -qq taí uma pessoa que eu admiro :P

[zaragoz8]

perfect!That was really great.!!!

[Ilgrandeanto74]

somebody knows how kurt says when the music start? end why he stop the exibition?

[TheBuckNastee]

Wow. This makes me wanna rush out and waste all my talent on heroine!

[littlebirdy9]

if u think jb has more talent ur fucked up. jb got famous through the internet because some low ass company needed money. kurt did actually have a poor record company but he and nirvana actually appealed their audience with good music so they payed for the traveling and hotels. as of with jb he spends his cash on fake relationships, fake fitted hats, and cheap ass perfume that smells lik shit and alchohal. and if u dnt like nirvana get the fuck out and go back to ur gaylord justin beiber.

[arealOpia1991]

i love krists face when he hashes out this particularly merry bass line x)) giddy giddy giddy !!

[TheTohkonChambers]

nirvana is waste of air

[ilikebosco]

@TheTohkonChambers then why do you watch there videos ass hole?

[Afrolunatic]

@ilikebosco because he is really the biggest piece of horse shit and has no talent whatsoever

[wtfxomgkv]

@TheTohkonChambers ... what?

[TheTohkonChambers]

nirvana is horrible.justin bieber has more talent then this ape.

[PiffWhiff]

@TheTohkonChambers haha good one=) I like your sense of humor...its very refreshing

[MaynardJamesKeenanJr]

@TheTohkonChambers ill cut your ball sack open with a butter knife mother fucker

[allegedretribution]

Dave Grohl is the shit...

[fullspectrumrainbow]

miss you Kurt........i always wanted that green sweater of yours......rest in peace.......

[qpae123]

I remember we were kids in a summer sea camp, and we search all this day to buy this album, cose it was selling like crazy at every seller. ( back then no internet , only casetes)

[teenspirit91]

@qpae123 would have been quite a few CDs available. I don't remember seeing many cassettes in 1994 as they had been pushed out for the most part by CDs.

[qpae123]

@teenspirit91 I still have the cassettes with Nirvana , sadly they wont work anymore, I believe they got demagnetize.

[lorenz1991ful]

Курт был Великим Музыкантом. И мне пох. на его репутацию.

[TheTohkonChambers]

this band sucks

[umswagger]

@TheTohkonChambers I will kick you square in the throat.

[pam111xxx]

@TheTohkonChambers u suck 

[usergently]

@TheTohkonChambers Big fuckin' right!

[sharkie15893]

Lol I love Dave in this, that outfit is awesome.

[devipus]

a masterpiece of a man, too wonderful to live in our world.

[uHuRu1976]

Dude this is awesome. Is it possible to find more rehersals?

[sspavil]

bring back Kurt cobain and we will give you Justin beiber

[defogify]

@sspavil Not even god has the grace to give Kurt away - he wants him all for himself. He's his favourite angel.

[nerdins1997]

@sspavil srly? He is to worthless little kid but Cobain is the bast musicant

[Wick3DSteely]

@sspavil And a free Miley Cirus

[sharloable]

@sspavil bribg back freedie mercury, randy rhodes, allen collins and we`ll give you bieber, selena and lil wayne.

[MortalWarz]

@sspavil i don't thin anyone wants justin beiber... we got ripped off!!

[1964nirvana]

@sspavil 5'519'678 for a rehearsal...f---g! Kurt!!

[MrAntoine75007]

@sspavil 9gag???

[juandhmps]

@sspavil One does not simply put bieber together with a legend

[airfrets]

Look at Dave rockin' that turtleneck...

[randomonio]

[yesith29]

Damn you Pat, and your one chord thing!

[TheBlackman316]

[Ducci007]

I like most the Cobain Version :)

[yannastasia]

Bowie is better than Kurt in all the sens, but I love nirvana

[dorianderycker]

This take sucks ass :) There is no electricity in it at all.

[lilfuzzy2424]

Seriously I bet at this point in his career Kurt was feeling a bit like the man who sold the world. A beautiful cover I must say. Anyone know what he did to that acoustic to get such an electric sound out of it?

[rubnaus]

@DaizyDuckz you mad lol?

[DaizyDuckz]

@rubnaus trololololololol i was high and yeah i was mad haha:) but now i could honestly give a shit and now i could really care less hahaha:)

[rubnaus]

[rubnaus]

@DaizyDuckz ?

[DaizyDuckz]

[Breyerlov]

That was complete crap

[Shmurfworks]

awsomeeee

[mrBFMV887]

hahahahaha Dave @3:11

[almostagod]

no offense to kurt cobain but when he died it gave us a chance to see Dave grohl as the great musician and band leader that he has become

[Syzygy60]

I learned this version b4 i knew Bowie wrote it

[Syzygy60]

chill dude



[9910b]

fuck you man i want to take a shotgun to your head you fuck

[atomicthree]

I think kurt had a problem with Pat... 4sure

[OmertaNZL]

I was in one of the biggest grunge bands in the world, until I took a shotgun to the head

[minsoku1]

@OmertaNZL that was not so nice, bro.....

[ilikecows19]

Kurt Cobain <3333 Nirvanaa<33333

[frolic63]

Synd han var sgu en personlihed og sang fedt

[TheMightyMicho]

3:10 lol look at daves face

[liliacvil]

Mi mente sincroniza esos movimientos y sonidos perplejos mis dias cuando siento tu ritmo, un sentimiento extraño hombre tu ironia y tu inocencia no sabes cuanto deseo que llegue aquel dia y poder verte como te vi en mis sueños diluidos...

[GangstaGirlz23]

his voice is my idol <3

[kunaalankkgs]

better then david bowie...

[Amnestad]

best band in the world playing a beautifully written song by David Bowie

[enrikesanosuke]

Que grande este grupo.Viva nirvana de por siempre.Gracias.

[bibinello]

mitico!



[icarosilva16]

Bowie is surely one of the best musician we have known,but this song is,in my taste,better played by K.Kobain....only my opinion,of course.

[catdumm]

@icarosilva16 Why is there a comparison? Both can be good in their own right.

[chinarise]

@icarosilva16 Kobains a hack stealing bowies shit also Kobain sounds like a loser no real vocal talent at all low life in my opinion also weak and cowardly took his life

[icarosilva16]

@chinarise Naturally every comparison between K.Kobain and D.Bowie has no meaning..even if Kobain were still alive,i dare to think..anyway this cover show us that the boy from Seattle has a not ordinary talent.. in his "The man who sold the world" he got create a fantastic,weird sound,really worth of Mr D.Jones..at least in my humble opinion.

[blooddonor70]

@icarosilva16 Agreed. You will never find a bigger fan of Bowie than me, but I believe Kurt did a wonderful cover, and for that, well,dick to slander Kurt shows a very limited and shallow mind. He does not represent Bowie fans, because every one I've met is very polite.

[Afrolunatic]

@icarosilva16 bowie is one of the best musicians we have known? wtf how do you have ne thumbs up that is whats wrong with the world

[icarosilva16]

Kobain was really great...what a pain...he died at 27..like other eternal incredible musicians...by chance,obviously..i think...i'm sure,of course..

[wpollock1]

Great Bowie cover. Kind of eerie when he says "I must have died a long time ago" at around 2:22. What a talent.

[alexsimful]

звук хуйня

[fabianoftw]

A poet man

[drew23ski]

cobain bein a diva again! nice tune but its a bit embarrassing the way he gets on rolling his eyes and mumbling/cracking the whip to the other band members. great song. kurt looks so young!!

[DurkaAhDurka]

Rip kurt. :( Its so hard to watch kurt play live.

[jehsuhs]

he was awesome.. but doesn't he seem quite terribly sad?

[peteragain]

@jehsuhs

Yeah, but that is not unusual for people before they take their life

[MrXyLmn]

his voice is gonna make me crу :( miss yu Kurt

[burbank777george]

The best caustic from Kurt cuban . Nirvanas .

[dangerousbeatle]

It might be that Dave Grohl has good luck, all the bands he`ve been to have been kind of a big deal. Who knows? Maybe if it wasnt for him Nirvana wouldnve been Nirvana. Since theres people who attract success wherever they are. Altough Kurt was a genious, no denying, but then again, how many geniuses are unknown?

[moker1215]

03:09 - 03:12 HAHA DAVE.

[LittleMuckyMe]

I love Bowie and this a more than worthy cover of a great song.

[hokman2012]

play well as DavidBowie

[RuMaAaR]

@Fitna4Allah Oh I'm sorry I offended you because you're female, in that case my sincerest apologies, Courtney Love is wacko, you clearly don't know the half of her psychological problems, and seeing as how you're sticking up for a psycho, it would appear that you're not the shiniest apple either.

[InterferenciasRG]

The original one is way better i mean...the voice is the only thing that changes...i don't who said this but nirvana did nothign to change the song at all....anyway its a good cover and both are great

[itzoverninethousand]

where do the drums come from before 00:10?

[4strokeh8er]

Skater music

[itzoverninethousand]

@4strokeh8er Yea David Bowie was such a skater.

[4strokeh8er]

@itzoverninethousand No. David Bowie was your dad, a faggot. Lol

[itzoverninethousand]

@4strokeh8er Wow. that was so brutal. I guess he taught you well about trying to play tough.

[jgrande345]

@4strokeh8er .... ? That was an ignorant comment

[Mauricejonesdrew3213]

dave looks like the wife from the shining

[TheAneurysm14]

@black12345678ization you are just a fucking nobody , if u dont give shit about essence of song and why kurt choose this song exactly, use ur mind one time on ur fucking life , cuz u gave me impression that u are of the biggest idiots arguing

[jefflikesguitar]

This and the entire rehearsal can be found on the MTV unplugged DVD under EXTRAS.

[Rexo12341234]

@justagirl123431, you utter retard they were one of the best bands in the whole world, and to say that your glad Kurt shot himself, how dare you say that, thumbs up if we should change the name Kurt with justagirl123431.

[SadeLouYau]

This pisses all over the original, sorry Bowie, I still love you <3

[harostar]

in school i learned the drummer starts, and everyone follows his beat, but at 0:50 cobain starts and the drummer followed? did i missed something at school??

anyway one of the best songs!!

[Nahemus]

wow! where did you got this?

[oasisbeyond]

Greatness at it's best... Tumbs up!

[esphyxx]

thank you for this upload.i cannot show you enough appreciation. my favorite version song . thank you is not enough but its all i have. i needed this cancer sucks and its nice to remember a better time. i truly needed to hear this

[sinr1one]

I just love a good fucking cover....RIP Kurt
