I never really got the whole "grunge" thing. Its not like the bands the whole "grunge" idea revolved around were even doing anything different then they and many others had been doing for years.
I am pretty sure it was just one big marketing campaign. A new section for the music stores. Labelled "alternative". That always made me smile.
But it also brought in the teenyboppers to a few scenes that could have done without them and the money grubbing and floor nazis that followed sucked.
@Jookkor No, you're definitely right about that. Grunge was a term invented by record execs to help market a certain type of sound. But, let's be honest...
Pearl Jam was called "Grunge". AIC were called "Grunge". Nirvana. Mudhoney. Melvins.
Do those bands sound ANYTHING alike? Maybe a little bit, but...man. Pearl Jam and Melvins are the same genre? No way! I mean, they're not even remotely close. Like you said, "Grunge" was just a marketing campaign.
I came here because I have heard the Nirvana version of it, and I really like it. This version is really awesome. Not knockin Nirvana, but I am glad I got to hear this version of the song.
what a pile of shit this song is. he can't sing. i can see how this would inspire kurt, taking in consideration what type kurt was. but nirvana and kurt's version is good, and doesn't sound like it was made in a public toilet.
@mehridin And this, my narrow minded counterpart, is why almost anyone you respect would dislike you, were they to have the misfortune of having to listen to your views.
@mehridin Saying "I know you are but what am I?" would have achieved exactly the same thing as what you have just said. You are an awful, awful person.
Sometimes you just need more popular bands to bring to light great music by more obscure artists! fair play to Kurt and the lads for recognizing their talent!
I see a lot of Nirvana-related comments. I'm as big a Nirvana fan as anyone, but I think it's unfair to Eugene and Frances (The Vaselines) to have them live in Kurt's light. Kurt wouldn't like that at all. If anything, he was trying to make the song in The Vaselines' respective light. If you prefer the Nirvana version or Vaselines version more, doesn't matter. It's a great fuckin' song by two great fuckin' bands.
@redheartbox I only say this with respect, because this version is even more awesome than the Unplugged Nirvana version...I actually came here because I wanted to hear where this came from. The song, by either band, was fucking awesome. It's this upbeat sounding pop song but with a downbeat lyrical palate. This song shines on it's own, but not a lot of people would have found it were it not for Kurt. Either way, it's a beautiful song, and it stands on it's own accord.
@redheartbox "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" performed by Nirvana and supposedly a cover by the Scottish band The Vaselines. Kurt got the idea to write the song a song of the same title in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". Right after the no-neck children sing the song Big Daddy asks for "The Blackeyed Peas" to be passed. This is why I named the group which I wrote songs for The Blackeyed Peas.
@themightytad There's no such thing as B#, it's C. The chords go like this: D, C, G on the verse and pretty much the whole song except on the "don't expect me to die" part it's just D,C,D,C repeat. I mute when I'm singing the play regularly when I'm not singing.
@sparkytrick There is such a thing as B#, technically it is C but in certain key signatures and under certain circumstances it'll be written as B#, same as you get double sharps and Cb sometimes even though the note is actually B. I was just wondering if there was a reason the guy wrote B#
This version sounds like a light, immature dismissal of Christianity. When Nirvana covered it, it conjured emotions and sentiments far deeper, like some great burden or loss caused him to question and abandon God. Man could Kurt pour himself into a song.
This version sounds like a light, immature dismissal of Christianity. When Nirvana covered it, it conjured emotions and sentiments far deeper, like some great burden or loss caused him to question and abandon God. Man could Kurt pour himself into a song.
ita funny because they produced this track before nirvana was around, he actually inspirational role for kurt musically thats why more then one of his tracks are vaselines covers, but he got more of the limelight and credit for them although he always gave credit to them before he played a track by them, im a huge fan of both myself slightly more towards nirvana but at the same time the vaselines really show the trnsition from the 80s into the grunge period thanks vaselines for inspiring cobain.
Totally different meaning when you hear this compared to Nirvana singing it. Both are cool, but hard to decide on who's version is better, if possible at all.
@20mchugh09 Stfu I didn't say anything untrue. Take your goofy, illiterate comments elsewhere. Good lord the trolls are out in number on this video! "Mate" lol
Why don't all of you shut the fuck up and listen to the music? Kurt was a musician, granyed he was not as skilled as most people but in the words of Buz Osbourne "he knew how to put two cords together and write lyrics". You don't need to be extremely skilled to be a musician.
Seriously MrGrevy, I've got a camera and an acoustic guitar. I'm ready to go. If you think Kurt is not a musician, show me how it's done. I'll back myself up by posting a vid of one of my originals, we can go tit for tat. And neither one of us will be good as Kurt. Don't post something if you're not willing to back it up. Let's go!
@shwishshwash Do you know what a logical fallacy is? What on Earth does my opinion that Kurt is not a musician have to do with my ability?? Are you really that stupid? No one can think a guitar player sucks unless they can play better than that person? Congratulations on finding a new level of stupidity. Kurt was a strummer, not a musician. Whether or not I suck at guitar, or if I am a master has NOTHING to do with him. Good luck on your GED, genius. And I'll watch your original if you post it.
@MrGrevy A musician is defined as 1. a person who makes music or a profession, especially as a performer of music. 2. any person, whether professional or not, skilled in music. How is Kurt not these things? The challenge was only to see what your standard may have been since you yourself seemed to be so knowledgeable. Why so much angst and hatred? Yeah I know Clapton is a BETTER musician, but Kurt is still a musician. Take your meds.
@shwishshwash Angst and hatred because I had to be subjected to his angst and hate ridden music for years in high school. Every party, every time I got into a friend's car - nothing but Nirvana. It was awful. The nonsense lyrics, the repetitive, out of tune chords, the up and down the scale solos, it was torture. I was considering a musician as someone who writes music with an understanding of music theory, who can read music, etc., not so much someone who puts a few chords together.
maybe your friends could get a better class of friend... or you could have learned to walk and stayed away from parties because nobody would want to talk to you anyway...
@idospeakenglish Yes, he could - but not through his entire career. Do you really think Cobain was in the same universe as Page? Delusional and disgraceful.
@MrGrevy Let me hear what you have done better. Seriously, put a link up of your amazing material. Go ahead I'll match you and neither one of us will write a song as good as Kurt. Put your money where your mouth is I'm not kidding at all.
@shwishshwash What? Talk about a nonsensical challenge. Kurt was a guitar strummer, not a musician. He knew a few chords and he wrote some lyrics. It's not as if he was a master of music theory or knew what he was doing like someone on the level of Eric Clapton, for instance. I guess you don't have the common sense to understand that - OR to understand that whether or not you or I can write "better" music has no bearing on whether he was a strummer or not. Try to keep up man. Good lord.
@KDo10 I do not need to be educated about every time kurt cobain took a piss and what his favorite pasta shape was, or what his first teddy bear was called, i listen to the records now and again, as well as the other vast amount of music i have on record, i am anything but uneducated musically, i play a wide variety of instruments, can cut it proper on turntables too. Im not educated as you say about what bridge kurt cobain slept under and what smiley nice church songs he may have liked init
@KDol0 How can think you know anything about me, i mean chav....come on...is that the best you can do..........scumbag???......was that kurts firt teddys name???? By the way, why did they call themselves the vaselines if them was church peeps, was they priests, and was the vaseline for the alter boys?????? Was you a priest or an alter boy??? Lastly the sunbeam dont shine out of yo batty playa ennit and ting and ting yo....for rillio....what the dillio yo?????

I was trying to state a fact to get people to stop arguing and just listen to the music.

@paulidernirvanafreak Kurt wasn't a musician he was a guitar-strummer

@MrGrevy Let me hear what you have done better. Seriously, put a link up of your amazing material. Go ahead I'll match you and neither one of us will write a song as good as Kurt. Put your money where your mouth is I'm not kidding at all.

@shwishshwash What? Talk about a nonsensical challenge. Kurt was a guitar strummer, not a musician. He knew a few chords and he wrote some lyrics. It's not as if he was a master of music theory or knew what he was doing like someone on the level of Eric Clapton, for instance. I guess you don't have the common sense to understand that - OR to understand that whether or not you or I can write "better" music has no bearing on whether he was a strummer or not. Try to keep up man. Good lord.

@KDo10 I do not need to be educated about every time kurt cobain took a piss and what his favorite pasta shape was, or what his first teddy bear was called, i listen to the records now and again, as well as the other vast amount of music i have on record, i am anything but uneducated musically, i play a wide variety of instruments, can cut it proper on turntables too. Im not educated as you say about what bridge kurt cobain slept under and what smiley nice church songs he may have liked init
