Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Live & Sold Out Version

[alice6german6maggot6]

fuck yeah I would do the same thing if I were asked to perform on television.

[peacebwithu97]

0:51-0:59 I'd do the same thing if that were me. Favorited.

[NirvanaNerd364]

I laughed so hard when i first watched this on the dvd this is an awsum video.

[TheSADrummer]

hhaha this is classic they're just pissin' around onstage and nobody gives a shit

[0oguitarhippyo0]

ooou russell you got some splainin to dooo...

[Emceetem]

You know...i wonder if any of those people passing by kurt cobain were fans or atleast acknowledge it now...We drove by cobain withoit doing anything.

Must suck...

[metaljunkie98]

*turns to Kurt* "Was iit your idea?" *buuuuurrrrrpppp*

[314336]

LOL!

This is so fucking awesome!

[diffel4020]

@314336 der type hat ne zu tife stimme

[314336]

LOLOLOLOZLOZOZLZO go KURT!!

[birdy47]

i just love when artists used to fuck TOTP's. Nirvana and Oasis did the best in my opinion.

[Redrum4409]

@birdy47

what show was this from?

I had this on the VHS of 'live, tonight, sold out' but never knew what show it was from lol

[birdy47]

@Redrum4409 its from Top Of The Pops

[MeTsRoCkMySoCk13]

im worst at what i do best and for this gift i incest

[SlayeRound]

@MeTsRoCkMySoCk13 hahahah

[AL3Xmotodude]

Lol the chorus sounds liek something of an opera performance. and the end if hilarious "Was this your Idea!?" *burp*

[AL3Xmotodude]

Lol the chorus sounds like something out of an opera performance!

[stMauvais]

she's over drugs x)) !!!

[davidfds]

awful!!

[gryzlov]

My libido...yeah.

[kasabalisgreeksk8ter]

the best thing of this performance is the ending everybody on stage!

[921musicman]

hahahah so hillarious... kurt rules... dumb kids lol

[boorock1992]

load up on drugs,kill your friends...

[StabbyFork]

WTF is this.

[gryzlov]

Basically, they had to play over a backing track. Kurt didn't like that idea....so, he decided to sing it like this. Because he's a funny guy.

[StabbyFork]

OH. i thought this was some random guy making fun of kurt.

[imissthe90s1]

he did it to piss of TOTP because basically they dont let you play live they just let you sing over the recorded version and kurt just basically made it blatently obvious that they wernt playing their instruments and just basically fucked TOTP

[codebreaker710]

Niiice!.. But what is this TOTP? :)

[hairbear007]

TOPT = Top Of The Pops a weekly british music tv program playing chart music. It's no longer playing

[codebreaker710]

Ah, alright.. Thank you! :D

[KutaniCrane]

sounds like fucking depeche mode ...

[SlayerMaidenEnemy]

LOL I wonder if he wanted to piss everyone off in the audience XD

[RESTLINXXX]

load up your guns

and kill your friends

haha so funny

[GrUnGeFoReVeR4594]

In this version, it's "Load up on drugs, kill your friends."

[skate26boarder]

load up ON DRUGS not guns

[powmia11]

lol this song is one of the most overatted songs of the 90's. nirvana was good at playing live and this a classic performance for them and mtv. more bands need to grow some balls and start actually making music and play good live shows, and not give a flip about wat people think. kurt, krist, and dave gave mtv a run for their money.

[borisia]

oh yea and so the people who are saying why is he singing it weird its cause he hated smells like teen spirit and fucked it up when they did play it if ever.

[ricochetfuzzy]

plus nirvan were pretty fucked off that they couldnt actually play their instruments on top of the pops, so they fooled around

[christisamust7]

lol..yeah he refused to play it at concerts..he didn't want nirvana to ne remembered just by teen spirit..lmao..i can't blame him they are great.

[awesome12886]

@christisamust7 i used to love teen spirit....till i heard there other stuff and i realized teen spirit is nowhere near as good as most of their stuff

[TexasJ47]

i disagree cause teen spirit is their obvious best song but theyre other songs are really really good

[AstroFiend91]

@TexasJ47 dude thats something a poser would say...yes smells like teen spirit is a kick ass song...but is it Nirvanas best song...fuck no...all song by them are the best...you cant just pick and choose...its no like all of todays bands...where you can like em one day and hate them the other...i mean lets face it..we are in a big shit hole as far as music goes...i mean the jonas bros are the supposed hot bands of today....basicaly all i have to say is...just listen and love how things used to be

[TexasJ47]

@AstroFiend91 i love all nirvana songs, i just happened to like smells like teen spirit the best, there shouldnt be a problem with that, i can sing along to dozens of nirvanas tracks cause there all catchy, teen spirit just seems like the best to me

[borisia]

This is why i love kurt lol

[wadeguy28]

thats cuz your a close minded prick who doesnt know kurt cobain and this is the only song you know by nirvana probably

[rinehardt420nc]

love it

[aristacraticthug]

this has to be my favorite version next to the one on sliver

[Strohy88]

no i say STFU u retarded

[spooner113]

and i say spam

[gangstable]

public enemy was in kurt cobains' top fifty....

[chakadoodledoo]

really? i knew he liked rap, but didnt like white rappers lol

[aiiiunluckykid]

he also liked NWA. theres nothing wrong with hiphop if its good and meaningful, early 90s stuff etc... and falloutboy suck

[RockersHeaven]

Fall Out Boy isn't metal,and it sucks very much!!!!!

[Eriktonnang]

@RockersHeaven

Lol who said Fall Out Boy is metal? I like Fall Out Boy so don't talk shit about them. Can't compare Nirvana with Fall Out Boy.. Who started that subject? Tbh Fall Out Boy has done great music in their late work. Now they have taken a break but I hope they start again soon. :)

[darkathmanson]

@Eriktonnang Just becasue you like fall out shit doesnt mean its special

[flyoker]

you

[mjschemicalromance]

I love how Kurt didn't put up with faking it!!

[quebecois411]

shut up tired of that stupid comment...

[IAteAnApe]

qtf it's with the voice?! sucks!

[tyler00027]

PCFIXERS U HAVE A GOOD IDEA BUT THE BANDS THAT U WROTE LIKE LINKINPARK OR DISTURBED ARENT TO GOOD BRO BUT

[sacrificiosagonico]

hijo de la gran puta madre el que coloco esta falsa version

[Hellsing9009]

informate 1ro mierda no es falsa es del mismo nirvana solo que hicieron eso x protestar xq no le dejaron tocar en vivo =)

[Coleine]

This is notb live hehe, only the vocals

[florosolo]

Was this your idea? *burp*

[PieceofMindmusic]

best nirvana footage ever ha!

[njknirvana]

They made him sing the song over a pre recorded backing track so the band faked playing their instruments in a really obvious way to mock them, and Kurt sang it in that funny voice.

[AllApologiesMike]

The end rules.

[xe989]

why do they put up with this crap

[slugboy989]

sorry i meant instruments*

[slugboy989]

u realise that none of the band members r playing any onstruments?!

[khulkog]

load up on drugs, kill your friends! haha!

[kurtkobain7]

nirvana rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kurt cobain and grunge no forgotten

[WillFromTheNorth]

WTF is wrong with his voice? Its probly from the drugs

[X1xone]

Uh, he is trying to be funny.  I actually kind of like this version.

[weavingweaver]

he hates that song and wanted to act like a little ass hole and sing it wrong

i hate this song theres so many better

[youfod]

I know wtf is this he also put the microphone in his mouth i was like wtf are you gay and high at the same time.

I love Nirvana but rly wtf is this it sounds like a tribute band.

[IRISHPUNK676]

uh you do know he did this because they wanted them too fake it and just act like he was actually was playing so he did this too piss off the people who wanted him too fake it

[jorghad6]

Cobain's funny

[cryzen]

Lol the fact its sold out is hilarious

[zippywaite]

Nooo.

the name of the dvd this was on is called "live! tonight! sold out!".

this is just some gay ass pop tv show that wanted nirvana to play teen spirit. and nirvana was sick of playing it. so they did this. the only thing that is actually being put into a microphone its kurts vocals. the rest is just strait from the record.

[canthemum]

He was such a hilarious rebel. I've heard of this performance but never seen it here in America. He screwed up the vocals on purpose b/c he didn't want to fake playing instruments. My understanding is the performance actually made Smells Like Teen Spirit sell like crazy in the UK. You have to admit -- to go against the industry that's feeding you takes a true rebellious, free spirit and a real interesting character. A voice for the ages. I'll miss him forever.

[flueSick]

the video at the end is cool!

[jigsoree]

man some of u are stupid.that is really Kurt.its obvious the band wanted to show how fake the performance was with the playbacks the producers wanted.Kurt pretending to play the guitar was hilarious.

[rouxenfeux]

discostique this fucking voice

[edclaed]

yes, is cobain,. . he shows the way he feel ,. . doing this shit of performing,. . and still the fans love him. .

[yutubecop]

is this really cobain??

[victroi]

A voz do Kurt Cobain tá um cú.

[KJRolling]

This outstanding tune is featured on January the 14th of the book 'The Song For Today' by Jimmie Oliver.

[omarthethug199]

i loved da way kurt sang like dat, i know kurt pretended 2 play but it was still cool

[asir1234567]

kurt'voice in the low key is still great

[mattfanatic]

io adoro i nirvana, ma stavolta kurt come caaaaaaaaaaaaazzo l ha cantata??strano...

[greenkid6555]

the best is kurt ptretending to play

[rayolacer]

hes not on fucking drugs u cheesey fucks, hes jst pissing about cuz top of the pops was lame and had to mime the fuckin song

[janedoecordeux]

I agree with you, however it's hard to say whether or not he was on drugs at the time of this video, because of his history with Rohypnol, Valium, heroin etc. as he was addicted.

To Seerbzz77, his singing in this video isn't because of the drugs.

The man is a brilliant artist & a legend, read the Cobain Journals. :)

Drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with with your self esteem. - Kurt Cobain, RIP.

[amaloko]

like morrisey

[ebnation]

did the announcer say million or billion records?

[janedoecordeux]

he said million :)

[krissilent55]

noes he said eight million

[azulillom]

lol, hahaha look kurt smile ( 5 second)

[azulillom]

hahahahahahahahahahaha this form is cool and the original also, hahahaha! kill your friends.

[dangerloudmusic]

is the first line "loud up in drugs kill your friends" or "load your guns and bring your friends"

[cms331]

that is why i love kurt

[Crazy9215]

even tho there not playing there instruments...kurts voice is awesome

[th182gc]

good video i lov his voice

[Seerbzz77]

How the fuck can you love hes voice he sings like hes on drugs r something?!

[th182gc]

Kurt was in drugs but he was the BEST singer ever u knw, being in drugs is a big problem that any people that u love, can have this problem, so shut up, and admit that NIRVANA was a good band, u don't have to say " he was in drugs " or " he's dead now " maybe u don't understand me. All I want to say is that being in drugs is so bad and when u or ur family or ur friends I don't know, can being drugs ( I hope not ) you will understand me, okay?. Sorry for my english I'm from Argentina

[cantbeleive1t2]

Ur english is pretty fine. I'm from Brazil by the way... XD

[th182gc]

i'm talking about Seerbzz77

[raisedlefteyebrow]

OMG You idiots! It was a joke to piss off the producers because they didn't want to mime the song!

[joedav2009]

this kills it fukin legend

[MAGOBIBIDI]

whats shit it is ?

[boxofdrums]

Holy crap, reading some of these comments, I can't believe how many people don't get whats going on here. No they're not playing the instruments people, that's the friggin point.. They showed you how fake the bullshit is.. Damn people. Nirvana was REAL, 95% of the McDonalds crap you are fed daily is FAKE...

Nevermind....

[maggotmask1]

well duh...ur like the FIRST person to get that.Wasnt that fukin obvious?

[Mineav]

Kurt was the man. RIP Kurt.

[Jakekissfan]

this is so funny

[nosequeponer88]

cobain sang like that because he wanted to play lithium or rape me first, i dont remember either, and then they didn't want to do playback but the production forced them, so they played like that in answer to producers. it's very funny to see krist with his bass and to his side cobain singing like on the shower XD grohl is playing a conga hahahaha pretty good video

[andre610e]

i think kurt is singing but none of them are actualy playing the instruments

look at kurt holding the mic the whole time

[JoseBck]

Joajawoajaoajaoao ! xddd

Are you idea? O_O

[grunger81]

lol

def. hilarious

His playing the guitar with the wrong notes.

and wearing glasses xD

[DXslayer]

this sound like if someone was throwing up and singing at the same time! WTF!

[wuggum]

omg, wtf, its so crippled, the lyrics so different...and the voice...the LEGENDARY KURT VOICE HAS GONE!!!

[mrmchpisto]

r u fkcing retarded ??

[blitzkrieg19031]

He could have lit a shit on fire and still get the same response.

[boredandjaded]

Shows how much crap tv tries to sell you.

Big cheers for kurt.

[todeszeichen00]

its not nirvana O.o and how can he throw around we guitar without touching the strings - and play?

[johntherevelator86]

This man was :( a genius lol

[jahmanbobbee]

fuckin brilliant

[GrungeMaggot08]

better than the original? defenitley! Kurt was such a genious, a musical Einstein

[HelloSeanMcQuade]

Classic. True musician.

[bbender1986]

lol i was going to say before i read comments..theres no way he was playing his own song right!

[RossoCremisi94]

A true genious! I miss you Kurt!

[skate1bmx01]

who doesnt?

[InnerSanctionBand]

its because top of the pops asked them to lip sync it all...and cobain basicly sed fuck it

[LatinoAsians]

how could he sing like dat

[pnwhlprv37]

cobains obvioussly guitar sincing u cxan tell because hes not playing half the song

[alexthemod1]

its on top of the pops, everyone had to sync. he was taking the rip.

[jakehendrix3]

Thats HILARIOUS!

[alexgernand]

was it youre idea?

BUUUUURP

[RockStarHero450]

Brilliant, i love it.

[CartmansArmy7]

cobain was just joking around. :-)

[jeromy1995]

why does he sound like that

[KMO325]

He only played like that because Top Of The Pops would not let the band play live and made play along with a backing track but Cobain just didn't go a long with it and sung all weird.

[RevertTV]

he sounds a little like an opera singer and it doesnt sound like the music video honestly i didnt like it

[jaysonlemoine]

YOur a idiot.

[vitojoe223]

sounds like shit

[diegolas666]

Oh man!!! love it...miss nirvana :(

[corruptedfish]

I have this vhs

[joshhewitt92]

this is the dvd?? its top of the pops. this was really bad. made a mockery of the song

[MONGWANAproductions]

i have this dvd

[mymw]

omg wtf lol can i borow it plzzz!?!111

lots of people have this dvd, you're not special

[MONGWANAproductions]

i no i was just saying

[turtlekid44]

looks like he is going to eat the mice

[SilentiumVeritas]

cool

[LSjeans4]

im suprised they got to play on TV after this and the 92 MTV music awards incident. not as bad as Jim Morison or Axl Rose tho

[bananahippo]

oooh i love you kurt

very fuunny

[sakketim123456789]

are you like fucking retard, its kurt cobain and its dave grohl and its krist ...

[Sanisaninja]

oh, i love this version. He's so making fun of the top of the pops convention of making them mouth along. Nice sunglasses too

[spraypaintthewalls]

in this song he was sick and didnt want to play but the people there(the tv show people) pretty much made him and they said to just sing it and pretend to play along so he sang it in an octave lower as a joke to piss people off

[Guitarloonatic]

Not really, Top Of The Pops wantted every artist back then to play back except for the vocals, But nirvana didnt want to, so instead of playing along, they made fun of it.

Nirvana was always about sarcasm, And subliminal messages.

[joshjod38]

You guys are fucken stupid that is to Kurt Cobain and this just means that Nirvana had a sense of humor GET OVER IT!

[davec3487]

These guys suck! Sounds like a slowed down, retarded version of the song. Where is a hand grenade when you need one.

[doomer79]

you're an idiot aren't you?

[zackdotw]

Just so you know that is'nt kurt this was made after he died.

But still this band rule and if i have children i think they should know about this band

[supamanxxx]

Just so you know, This is kurt, Hes just fucking around in this song, Get the facts straight man, You can clearly tell its kurt.

[doomer79]

shut the fuck up you clueless loser.

[jawshchevyvan]

He was so over that shit already... He couldn't deal with being a sellout. Which regretfully can't be said about Dave Grohl... He probably was really high, pissed off, and fucking around with the half Nick Cave half Morrisey weirdness.

[BagpipeHustler]

they're lipsiyncing the song hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
