this is a great demo of how it doesn't matter what guitar you play. You can get that "Nirvana sound" with lots of different rigs. So kiddies, you don't have to get a Mustang to sound like Kurt!
@geridg At the same time, While it has the grungy edge to it, The whole idea of doing a cover (especially cross genres) is to give it a different style. In this case, RRH's gretch, in standard tunning, as opposed to Nirvana's fender in drop d, or f.
@geridg his tone was mostly in his marshall/mesa boogie rig, nevermind tracks only had a ds-1 for distortion, besides he played pretty much a jaguar for nevermind
He is the reason why i bought a Gretsch, nobody has the style or play like this guy..Not even the inventors of rockabilly...hes very,very, good..so underrated..what a shame
this is still better than any nirvana song i've always thought other than dave grohl they swallowed and this is proof that superior musians make the song better, jim heath is much the better singer/songwritter, and guitarist than 100 kurt cobains
@psychicguitar ....they are not "taking the piss", but they could have been pissed, again .... in the British vernacular. Jim and the Boys are GREATNESS, and if they didn't respect the tune, they would not play it.
This is an absolutely AMAZING cover! Kurt would be proud of such justice, and the fact it isn't another cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit". RIP Kurt, we still remember!!!
SIDA obviously has no idea what psychobilly is comparing it sub pop which wasnt even Nirvana, geeezzz I dont know where to begin calling u a dick haha.... anyway Rev Rocks!!!!
@tex10krunner ok sorry I didnt know that, and tomorrow when I wake up I will be furthur educated on the topic, but tomorrow when you wake up you will still be a rude asshole with a small dick hahahahaha
For a long time Nirvana was the only band that I liked. Then one year I went to the Warped Tour because my friends were going. While I was there I saw Reverend Horton Heat for the first time and it changed my life. Opened up a whole world of music to me. After seeing them i cut off my shoulder length hair and replaced my flannel shirts with bowling shirts.
This is ridiculously badass.

I think the Reverend's first album was on Sub-pop...same label as Nirvana, so I believe this is a legitimate tribute.

LOFL @ deadjerusalem.
I wish I still had my white and black polyester bowling shirt (except when it rained, it got all sticky).
Now that was some flat out cool attire for the road.
I kept it until it was see through and faded to beige and alabaster.

theres no reason why you cant keep part of a style from one genre and take on some from you like, helps create originality haha
