  • Emo... Pretty sure Fugazi and Sunny Day Real Estate don't sound any like MCR or Hawthorne Heights. It's like any other genre; there are the original bands that had a unique sound, and then the later bands that took that sound and packaged it for radio. There's plenty of other examples.

  • Emo is some horseshit that people who may as well be wearing affliction shirts play in the last 10-12 years, they wanna look and sound tough but cry and sensitive. Musicians have always worn makeup and all that so thats not new. "Emo" is just a term like "hair metal" and about as bad honestly. Its the 21st centuries latest version of crappy music with girl jeans. The Smiths and nirvana and all those bands are nothing like what "emo" is. They actually have talent...

  • @MrBillyjoer river's songwriting i've noticed is a mixture between nirvana and the beach boys, which are his two favorite bands. Hard rock, energetic, but melodic and with harmonized vocals.

  • another great cover!!

  • fighting over Nirvana was sooo 2006. i thought there was a mutual agreeance among the Nirvana community; that Courtney Love didn't kill him and anyone who thinks he did, has abandonment issues; and that genre's don't matter in a band? Yet here's a bunch of idiots fighting over it, once again.

  • when he was found dead he was wearing shoes...

  • @wolfeman323232

    when he died, it was freezing cold outside.

    also, he was last reported seen having dinner with his suspected drug dealer. who is to say he didn't come home from dinner and pull the trigger? Surely the last thing he was worried about was taking off his shoes. stop making stupid excuses. fuck you and your tom grant conspiracy.

  • @GrockJake not what i was saying, the shotgun he used was recorded as too long to pull the trigger with his hands, police reports state that he would have had to use his toe, and he was found wearing shoes, so unless he pulled the triger and then decided to be respectfull and put his shoes back on meanwhile his brain is splattered across the wall, i doubt he did it, he had so much to live for. sure he was severely depressed but he was a songwriter he delt with it by writing and smoking pot.

  • @GrockJake and conspiracy? him killing himself is just as much a conspiracy as courtney killing him, the odds are equal. theres no suck thing as conspiracy when there has been no definitive answer to the murder.

  • @wolfeman323232 and you know this because you measured his limbs and then the shotgun, huh? the guy had long arms, there is no doubt. tom grant, whom you're probably getting your information from, was neither there to measure. I mean, do you any clue how ridiculous that sounds??? Having to pull the trigger with his toes? The man was about 5 feet 7 inches tall. Throw off a foot or so, from the top of his head to his chin; that leaves you with about 4 foot and 7 inches from neck to toe

  • @wolfeman323232 Now if the toe were to reach the trigger, that'd make the gun larger 4 foot 7 inches. include the "butt" of the gun, and you've probably got 5 feet 3 inches. Now, I'm not even sure there is a gun THAT BIG. Almost 5 fucking feet. For a single barrell shotgun. NO. I'm sure you've seen that picture of him with the assult rifle in his mouth? that gun is about the same size as the shotgun; and he has no problem with that gun. your theory has just been denounced. thank you.

  • @wolfeman323232 here is pix of assault rifle. He clearly has no problem pulling this off (yes I know, he is kind of crouched, but you can safely assume if he was lying down straight, he'd have no problem as well). This gun is approximately same size as shotgun. You're full of shit.

    feelnumb [dot] com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11­/kurt-cobain-gun-suicide. jpg

  • @GrockJake what proof says he did it himself?

  • @wolfeman323232 Hmmm... a suicide note... "I hate Myself and I want to Die"... that picture with the assault rifle in his mouth... his overdose in Rome accompanied with suicide note... leaving rehab for no apparent reason and flying back to seattle... his reclusive behavior right before he died... buying a shotgun... leaving courtney love phone messages telling her that he loved her and her album was great.... list goes on and on bub. The guy was depressed & drug addict. get over it.

  • @GrockJake i am most definately over it i just wish that others would respect my opinion

  • @wolfeman323232 an opinion is a belief, cobain's death and cause of death is a fact. on his death certificate, it says suicide. on every newspaper, it said suicide. on every television report, it said suicide. his wife said it. his band said it. he said he was going to do it. he did it. there is no "speculations". tom grant is an attention whore, who got angry because; A. He didn't get the attention he though he'd get when assigned the case B. Courtney gave him hell and this is his "revenge".

  • @GrockJake all im saying is that you cant always believe what you see on tv and you cant take what you read to heart, whatever happened happened but i still think otherwise.

  • @GrockJake agreed

  • @GrockJake

    You're a jackass.

  • Yeah! love the covers

  • Jesus, weezer did alot of Nirvana covers..

  • Nirvana? EMO? No. Just no. You have no sense in music.

  • Nirvana is definitely emo. As in emotional. Every song they wrote was full of intense emotion from Kurt's lifetime. This has nothing to do with those trashy posers.

  • @Mekill60 your wrong, kurt got most of his lyrics from old poems and stuff, he rarely put meaning into his lyrics

  • @awesome12886 Oh, I know. I read his journals and saw interviews and such. He specifically said "old poems and stuff," himself. If you listen to a few songs, Heart Shaped Box in particular. He does actually write about Courtney Love and a few things about her.

  • Joa Anderson for Kurt Cobain in the new Movie!

  • VOTE FOR DISLIKE ! ! !

  • grunge kicks ass

  • lot of niranas early bleach songs? i couldnt tell if that was just fake

    \

  • if cant tell the different. i guees youre not a fan ether nirvana or weezer...

  • ive been listenin to few of these covers by weezer. i really like that they covered a lot from Bleach and more of their earlier more raw stuff that other bands dont really cover often. these songs are so intense and beautiful

  • i love grunge

  • this is not weezer

  • Yeah it is, Google "Goat Punishment" and Weezer.

  • goat punishment sounds a little risky to google

  • HAHAHAAAHA NICE ONE xDDD

  • haha just do it. It'll just give you a buncha weezer stuff.

  • win

  • weezer pic looks like old people dress wearing old people clothes

  • good god this is like the 6th fucking nirvana song i've heard weezer cover - they're giving seether a run for their money! i think i'm gonna cover about 6 or 7 weezer songs and post em up on youtube and see what weezer thinks about that

  • Its because back in 97' Weezer did a secret show as the band "Goat Punishment". The basically did 90 minutes of Nirvana covers. They don't constantly cover nirvana.

  • Angry Nirvana fan is angry.

  • lmao

  • someone explain to me what the hell emo is please, everthing time i read something about it i get more confused. I hear its a bunch of sissy bands that whine on tracks about there girlfriends

  • Do you now know how to google?

  • it confuses me more, I actually am looking for a fan of the genre to break it down for me.

  • Emo is essentially a modern interpretation of screamo; which is hardcore punk with introverted and goth influenced lyrics and emotionial (often shouted or shrieked) vocals. Since the genre has become more mainstream the new fans felt that they needed to form a new identity for it. You could argue that modern emo is mainstream and takes a variety of influence like dance/metal/new wave as opposed to the straight forward hardcore/punk sounds and DIY ethics of Screamo.

  • Thats the clearest anyone's painted it for me so far, but if its derived from "Screamo", where like the "o" come from. Emo, Screamo. I thought emo came first? gimmie like 3 emo bands

  • emo and screamo suck

  • dude emo is from the bands like fugazi. which the were EMOtive which they shortened to emo

  • emo is nothing more then a concept for people to hide behind behind, and all emo people act the same, but yet they all think that they are individual

    its the truth, so say wht u want it wont matter

    Grunge is all about spreading the truth I wuv grunge

  • @kurdtbryan

    emo is shortened for EMOTIONAL music.. in other words..

    nirvana gets confused for being emo because kurts emotions are so strong and not about popularity contests and gold stickers..

    kids became so impacted by this they put so much generic emotion into music now its emo.. and also very bad.

    thank you. :)

  • please shutup, you have no clue what your talking about, have a nice day

  • this is shit dude

  • Your all wrong, The genres you speak of don't exist. "emo" or "grunge" or any other genre are terms made up by insecure teens who seek individuality. Emo is pretty much just a term used to troll angsty teens about their gay bands and have massive discussions in forums about how they "don't care" and how "OMG ur soooo retarded it waz toltaly ur band who started emo!!!!!!!! >:("

  • Grunge is just punk rock raping heavy metal

  • emo was a a cross genre from hardcore. the first band called emo was Embrace Ian Mackaye's band after Minor Threat. although i do think its a pretty stupid classification.

  • emo is gay

  • yea nirvana grunge not stupid emo

  • Nirvana IS GRUNGE ROCK ALTERNATIVE NOT EMO SHIT THAT IS ABOUT MAKING SOME NOISE AROUND OWN PERSON CAUSE NOBODY LOVE'S YOU SO HEY I'M GONNA CUT MYSELF HEY LOOK AT ME - THAT'S STUPID - NIRVANA IS GREAT

  • Who said being emo had anything to do with being "stupid" "gay" "dumb" or a "boyband". Because it doesn't. EARLY WEEZER songs, such as the entire Pinkerton album and some of The Blue Album are considered by many to be the cornerstones and blueprints of what became known as emo music. Are Weezer themselves an emo band? No, not really, their power-pop, but they definetly have some songs that could be called emo. Learn your facts before you run your mouth.

  • what the hell are you talking about dude?

    emo garbage was around way before the blue album ever even came out, and those two albums had nothing to do with being 'blueprints' to a genre of music that existed way before weezer was even a band. you're the one that better learn your facts before you run your mouth, you got everything all assbackwards.

  • "powerpop" definitely describes weezer, not emo. and the genre emo is way different today than it was in the 80's, you couldn't even classify weezer as hardcore, nor punk.

  • Probably my favorite Nirvana song.

    i love Weezer!

    Rivers is a madman

    awesome cover.

  • Anyone who brings up trash like "emo" in the same breath as Nirvana and Weezer deserves to have their right to breathe air revoked immediately!!

  • Nirvana "EMO"?...LOL, someone has lost the f****** plot!!

  • This is a nice set-list of covers from nirvana and not one bloody hit song like Smells Like Teen Spirit, Looks like someone took care about the setlist.

  • I'm glad they didn't my favorite nirvana song isn't even popular this is a pretty good cover

  • lol i'm just guessing it's frances farmer will have her revenge on seattle. my personal fav and probably one of their best unknown songs. if any1 forgets that song, 5th track on in utero. it rocks!

  • nope Aero Zeppelin is my personal favorite but

    frances farmer will have her revenge on seattle

    is one of my more favorite songs then there's endless nameless i'm not even going into that

  • hey salsa ur a douche

  • What a faggot you are Salsa.

    Nirvana rocks.

  • That shit known as emo didn't exist back in 1987. Emo is just a bunch of makeup-wearing idiots whining about their little suburban "problems". You're a fucking moron if you think Nirvana was emo. And yes, you can go fuck yourself. :)

  • where did u get this at?

  • grangegopher is 100% right! shouldn't be so personal with it but it's true!

  • You pwned that guy and he deserved every fucking bit of it.

  • emo is like boy bands its goes back a loooooooong way but under different incarnations.

    most people would rather gouge out their eyes than admit that the beatles were a boy band. nirvana isn't emo but emo was around at the time. the 80s was nothing But emo music!

  • You are right, Emo Bands are just the Hair Bands from the 80's coming back in their unknown flying object with some new make-up and hairspray. It's just a new package but still the same crap, gosh the lyrics are even more horrible today. "I love you but you don't liked my shoes, so i had to go and sing my blues, Oh Mandy...i" etc. you know these fucked up shit.

  • i always wondered where they came from

  • @grungegopher

    "That shit known as emo didn't exist back in 1987."

    Oh please, Emo started in 1987. Listen to some Rites of Spring, and Moss Icon.

    Although to be fair they sound like hardcore punk today compared to those shit bands that call themselves "emo".

  • @grungegopher actually emo did exist in 1987. look up the bands embrace(dischord records) and rites of spring. I believe in 1986 the first instance of the word emo was used to describe embrace, not because they are whiney or whatever you think it is, but because they put raw emotion into their songs and lyrics, somehow the term got skewed down the line and now is used to describe people who are suicidal... i think.. anyway look it up.

  • @grungegopher also yea you can make a strong case that nirvana is emo, and any other band that puts emotion towards writing and playing. after all that is what emo means.

  • @grungegopher

    you're damn right, fucking emo's, think they can get attention by cutting therselfs -.-

  • Present it..

  • Nirvana was emo? Perhaps you should first look at an average "emo" idiot and then pay a trip to Aberdeen... then you'll probably change your ridiculous opinion on the subject. Grungegopher made a good point too, fucking retard.

  • are you really calling Weezer Emo?

    They have been around since the early 90's. Their not A GAY BOY BAND

    your dumb

  • @salsashark666 abort yourself you fucking mongloid.

    seriously

  • @salsashark666 nirvana was a punk band you stupid fuck, you want emo go listen to my chemical enema or some shit. youre clearly the one who doesnt know music

  • @salsashark666 nirvana is a punk band you shit head
