uhhhh smells like teen spirit is a pop song, Mark Walker 95. Quit being a bitch, nirvana was the biggest band in the world at one time. I know that may come as a shock to you. Shit man, even my fucking dad likes Smells Like Teen Spirit.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" WAS a good song. If any other band put out that single, it would have been their most amazing song they'd every put out. But for Nirvana, it wasn't their best, by FAR.
Smells like teen spirit is so overrated. when i listen to "live at reading" i feel its a medium nirvana song, By the way it even doesn't sound like a hit, i mean songs like "all alopogies" and "come as you are" could be hits but smells lik teen spirit, good song but ...
If times were simpler...like they were in the 90's..maybe someone else could come along to make all of us shut up about the good ol' days. Bring back art/music/art...
What would have happened if Punk was truely US based...rather than Malcom Mclaren based? Did Punk die in '77 or did it just reincarnate itself through the 80's until Nirvana's "breakthrough"?
I'm not one of those Nirvana fan hipsters who hates Teen Spirit because Kurt said he doesnt like the media buzz about it. I am, however, a huge Nirvana fan, and although they put out 3 amazing albums and some of the best concerts ever, Teen Spirit isnt my favorite Nirvana song... probably in the top 10 though ;) fuck hair metal!
I'm an older guy, 47. After a decade of hair-band crap, I was pretty bumbed. Then, I'm driving home from work one day and flip on KLOS (FM radio, Los Angeles). "......what is THIS?!" "Huh?" "Who in the hell is THIS?!?!" "This is fucking INCREDIBLE!!!!!!" Found out a little while later: Teen Spirit......
What's funny to me is the generation that worshiped Kurt and Eddie Vedder are all now(along with they chill-dren) watching reality TV and on Facebook.
teen spirit wasn't even their best song. it was just their most popular. but still a good song nonetheless. in bloom was my favorite song from them haha
exactly, i know what people mean, i mean it really did change everything, but in all honesty, In Utero was their best record, and one of the best records EVER put out, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, Milk It, Pennyroyal Tea, Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol and Heart Shaped Box truly is a beautiful song... I fucking love that album. I wish I lived i nthe 90's, the 10's or w/e... fucking sucks.
this is freaking ridiculous. just cus you like metal or punk or pop doesnt mean you only have to like that genre of music. close minded people are just stupid. appreciate good music no matter what. ''just because you dont like opera, dont say its sucks, listen to pavorati and tell me that fat bastard cant sing.'' -zak wylde
@raymondjay365 True I agree with you there, but the majority of most 'popular' music nowadays is all commercialised and is all produced on computers, auto tune and what ever. Some might say the true musical essence in most 'artists' now is gone.
There is good reason why GOOD bands scoff at grunge. Its not hard to figure out. Same reason why grunge died so fast. Of course Metallica and Zeppelin live on generation after generation... Grunge killed shitty metal bands, thank God, but as grunge and metal/hard rock fought its obvious rock/metal WON!
I don't think Robert Plant knows how much Dave and Kurt (not sure about Krist) was influenced by Led Zeppelin although Kurt's main influence was the Beatles to my understanding. While Dave's was Zeppelin.
Why are all these pussies who play Pop music trying to tell us that 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' is their favourite song? Do you even know Nirvana or Grunge? Go back to your fucking knitting.
@MarkWalker95 Just because they make pop music doesnt mean they don't like "Grunge" an stuff, stfu, Lady gaga LOVES Heavy metal yet shes pop queen, people can like more than two things fuck tard.
@MarkWalker95 They played along with many of these bands you arrogant twat, Led Zeppelin was a huge inspiration on music and Kurt liked everyone of these bands you idioy.
Don't jump on me but he was dealing with depression since he was a kid. When his parents divorced he just kind of lost a bit of who he was. Music was an outlet for him.He wanted to make money from his music but not be put on a thrown and be some kind of god. That's alot to deal with. Plus, he was having alot of physical pain that the doctors couldn't figure out what was physically wrong.When certain drugs didn't work well heroin did. You take heroin,depression,fame & family you have destruction.
HE HAD THREE TIMES THE LETHAL DOSE OF HERION IN HIS BODY. CHECK HIS AUTOPSY REPORT. HE COULD NOT SHOOT HIMSELF ON THAT MUCH HEROIN. YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE SUPERMAN. SOMEONE WAS DOING HERION WITH HIM AND MURDERED HIM AND ITS OBVIOUSLY WAS COVERED UP.
why the hell is that chick from destiny's child saying it was her all time favorite song for? ..she probably couldn't even name another song from that album !..what an imbecile !

Kurt never wanted to become as famous as he did he loved playing at the underground stuff and becoming known is his city and state he never wanteeed to become as big as he did, the money and fame just became too much for hiim and he hated it he also hated everyone just wanting to listen to smells like teen spirit he didnt like the fame and money did not buy his happiness, he was deppresed before but this just added on to it.
Also its bullshit when people say that Kurt Cobain didnt want to be famous. I have never heard Kurt say that he didnt want to be famous. He killed himself because he was deppressed way before he became famous. When the fuck did he say he didnt want to be famous. I never heard or read it people just make shit up.
@notavailableisnotava He killed himself cause he was way too fucked up. I think thats why. He was famous 2.5 years and he was ok. The heroin thing pretty much killed the exitment of living
Nirvana had became everything that kurt check it out right before kurts death he planned to put an end to nirvana and spend the rest of his life taking care of his family
@notavailableisnotava He didnt he wanted to walk away and spend time with his duaghter and thats when the lables got pissed and then curtney love got pissed and wanted to fuckin devorce him and all the depression came back from the past
I grew up in that era and Nirvana was a band I looked up to and loved. Cobain was sort of an idol is some ways. I listened to everything they came out with. I watched all the interviews and videos. I remember or multiple occasions him saying he never asked for the fame and that he never really wanted it; he just wanted to play. I don't remember whether he came out and said "I don't want to be famous" but he implied it and said it other ways. RIP KC
fuck you rolling stones he didnt kill himself because he wanted to prove a point he killed himself because he couldnt stand anyones disaproval and it was this drive to be a perfectionalist that eventually made him decide that he wasnt good enough for the life he was living, and he decided to kill himself thinking that the world would be better off.
fuck keith richards and that other guy "if you don't want to be famous then why were they making records?" it's an art form to express yourself not a cash cow as it was for your generation you dumb british washed up musician
@razorramon310 They sure enjoyed that cash cow,being they didn't exactly return their royalty checks.If they only wanted to make art,they wouldn't have signed with Epic to release their music to the masses.Now i'm not saying they sucked up all the attention they got,but they knew what they were getting into once they signed on the dotted line.And fyi, that "other guy" is Ron Wood.Maybe you should familiarize yourself with the major players in the industry before you slam them.
I think its cool that Robert Plant can acknoweledge that the punk movement was important and also were fed up with floyd and even his own band zeppelin.
@chrisgonatakethepiss His music was on another level than most any other rock band in history. I like Nirvana, but they can't hold a stick to Zeppelin. Robert Plant is one hell of a humble man. Maybe he sounds timid to you, but he's simply a mild mannered down to earth legend.
@HeavyD2544 - Yeah, like I'm going to listen to some nobody off the internet. Some (probably) geeky, obese 5 feet tall keyboard warrior. You don't know me but I'm a tough guy- I DON'T TAKE SHIT FROM NOBODY!!!! :p
i love led zeppelin but i think that robert plant is wrong. if punk came from a country, i think i would say that it came out of america. other than the kinks and the who, what other british bands have had more of an influence on punk than the velvet underground, the stooges, patti smith, iggy pop, mc5, television, the modern lovers, the sonics and the new york dolls? all of the aforementioned bands are american.
im tired of asking people if they like nirvana to find out that the only song they like is "smells like teen spirit' its over played, kurt hated it, and it doesn't compare to alot of thier other songs.
@pfliegaphonic ron's got a point though. I love pearl jam and nirvana, but that whole "do I wanna be famous or dont I" complex is kind of a dumb mindset. it's like walking into a crowded room and wanting to bang garbage can lids together but not wanting people to turn and look at you. why the hell were you making all that noise then? ron's assesment is spot on: "well why are you making records then?"
@packeropie I get that point and it's legitimate. But I think actually Ronny isn't making an argument about art and fame... he's incapable of believing any artist would actually shun the spotlight because I believe he thinks the spotlight is the point. That's where I think he and someone like Kurt differ in their artistic motivation, and why I think the argument that you should have to want to be idolized just because you make a recording is a weak argument.
@pfliegaphonic yea, you got a point there. one of my biggest pet peeves tho is celebrities and famous people who act as if being famous is a problem or a burden (not saying I don't think the constant spotlight can't be frustrating, but making millions of $ and being in the spotlight, not a bad problem to have). Johnny Knoxville put it perfectly: "people act like being famous is such a problem...shut up, there are people out there with real problems, being famous is not a problem
@packeropie I agree there are a lot worse problems that riches and fame. However, though having a lot of money may be great... having a camera in your face all the time sucks. Just because somebody is an artist doesn't mean they want what fame brings. We dont' treat our fine artists like that. And we don't expect our super rich to ever face the public to explain their actions (I would pay to see that!)... but somehow it's ok to expect a pop culture star to open up their whole life? Weird.
@pfliegaphonic I definitely agree. it is an unfortunate side effect of being famous, you suddenly have like 0 privacy. If I were in such a position, I would for sure get annoyed with it.
@pfliegaphonic not that kurt or eddie vedder bitched and moaned all the time about being famous, I think it was more a matter of kurt not knowing how to handle it, so it's not him being a whiner about his celebrity status, just him not being able to fully handle it.
@pfliegaphonic Spot on! Two pointless opinions. Kurt's suicide was the end result of untreated depression. However, maybe the thought of playing Teen Spirit at age 70 settled the "Burn out or Fade away" dilemma? ALSO, let's not forget that Ronny & Keith have repeatedly bragged about the millions they blew on Heroin & Crack. To me that makes their ignorant comments even more disrespectful. But it was 17 years ago so maybe they both went on to feel regret.....and do a $150 per ticket world tour?
Funny how Smells like teen spirit is the all time favorite of some celebs on this vid (so they say), but if I were to make a fav song list of Nirvana it would probably end up being at number 30
Holy crap, who wrote the captions and what is their native language? How did they turn "called Nirvana" into "got formed" and "documentation" into "mutation", among many others?
Everyone in Seattle thought what ended up happening to Nirvana was gonna happen Soundgarden b/c they were one of the first bands to get really noticed in that scene along with The Melvins and few others. Soundgarden were the first out of all the "grunge" bands to get signed to a major label. Really all I'm saying is that Nirvana is overrated. Yes they made good songs and all that but they saying Kurt was a poet and basically treating him like the god of alternative rock music is stupid.
@fourstringlovemaker Soundgarden is that it never felt authentic. I love them as a band, but here you have two frontmen who sing about depression and failing at life etc. Kurt ends up killing himself with a shotgun, while Chris carefully combs his hair and trims his beard to look *fabulous* (after soundgarden he straightens it, then gels it up to keep up with fashion). Soundgarden always had more musical talent, but they were never as authentic as Kurt was with his lyrics.
everytime time i drift off from Nirvana and listen to other bands for a few months or so im like wow these bands are really good then at a random moment ill put on Nirvana and then ill forget about those bands and have to be totaly emersed in Nirvana for another long period of time
@CarneAsadaTaco I can't say i was on board with Nirvana but I want to thank you for your comment because it resonates with me in terms of that time and other bands. Well done.
Soundgarden and Alice In Chains were already signed to major labels before Nirvana got huge. Actually, those bands' somewhat more modest success (as well as the successful transition of bands like Sonic Youth from indie label to major label), helped pave the way for Nirvana's rise to the top. Nice try though, Henry Rollins.

Kurt never wanted to become as famous as he did he loved playing at the underground stuff and becoming known is his city and state he never wanteeed to become as big as he did, the money and fame just became too much for hiim and he hated it he also hated everyone just wanting to listen to smells like teen spirit he didnt like the fame and money did not buy his happiness, he was deppresed before but this just added on to it.

Also its bullshit when people say that Kurt Cobain didnt want to be famous. I have never heard Kurt say that he didnt want to be famous. He killed himself because he was deppressed way before he became famous. When the fuck did he say he didnt want to be famous. I never heard or read it people just make shit up.

@notavailableisnotava He killed himself cause he was way too fucked up. I think thats why. He was famous 2.5 years and he was ok. The heroin thing pretty much killed the exitment of living

I grew up in that era and Nirvana was a band I looked up to and loved. Cobain was sort of an idol is some ways. I listened to everything they came out with. I watched all the interviews and videos. I remember or multiple occasions him saying he never asked for the fame and that he never really wanted it; he just wanted to play. I don't remember whether he came out and said "I don't want to be famous" but he implied it and said it other ways. RIP KC

fuck you rolling stones he didnt kill himself because he wanted to prove a point he killed himself because he couldnt stand anyones disaproval and it was this drive to be a perfectionalist that eventually made him decide that he wasnt good enough for the life he was living, and he decided to kill himself thinking that the world would be better off.

@razorramon310 They sure enjoyed that cash cow,being they didn't exactly return their royalty checks.If they only wanted to make art,they wouldn't have signed with Epic to release their music to the masses.Now i'm not saying they sucked up all the attention they got,but they knew what they were getting into once they signed on the dotted line.And fyi, that "other guy" is Ron Wood.Maybe you should familiarize yourself with the major players in the industry before you slam them.

@chrisgonatakethepiss His music was on another level than most any other rock band in history. I like Nirvana, but they can't hold a stick to Zeppelin. Robert Plant is one hell of a humble man. Maybe he sounds timid to you, but he's simply a mild mannered down to earth legend.

i love led zeppelin but i think that robert plant is wrong. if punk came from a country, i think i would say that it came out of america. other than the kinks and the who, what other british bands have had more of an influence on punk than the velvet underground, the stooges, patti smith, iggy pop, mc5, television, the modern lovers, the sonics and the new york dolls? all of the aforementioned bands are american.

@pfliegaphonic ron's got a point though. I love pearl jam and nirvana, but that whole "do I wanna be famous or dont I" complex is kind of a dumb mindset. it's like walking into a crowded room and wanting to bang garbage can lids together but not wanting people to turn and look at you. why the hell were you making all that noise then? ron's assesment is spot on: "well why are you making records then?"
packeropie 1 month ago
@packeropie I get that point and it's legitimate. But I think actually Ronny isn't making an argument about art and fame... he's incapable of believing any artist would actually shun the spotlight because I believe he thinks the spotlight is the point. That's where I think he and someone like Kurt differ in their artistic motivation, and why I think the argument that you should have to want to be idolized just because you make a recording is a weak argument.
pfliegaphonic 1 month ago
@pfliegaphonic yea, you got a point there. one of my biggest pet peeves tho is celebrities and famous people who act as if being famous is a problem or a burden (not saying I don't think the constant spotlight can't be frustrating, but making millions of $ and being in the spotlight, not a bad problem to have). Johnny Knoxville put it perfectly: "people act like being famous is such a problem...shut up, there are people out there with real problems, being famous is not a problem
packeropie 1 month ago
@packeropie I agree there are a lot worse problems that riches and fame. However, though having a lot of money may be great... having a camera in your face all the time sucks. Just because somebody is an artist doesn't mean they want what fame brings. We dont' treat our fine artists like that. And we don't expect our super rich to ever face the public to explain their actions (I would pay to see that!)... but somehow it's ok to expect a pop culture star to open up their whole life? Weird.
pfliegaphonic 1 month ago
@pfliegaphonic I definitely agree. it is an unfortunate side effect of being famous, you suddenly have like 0 privacy. If I were in such a position, I would for sure get annoyed with it.
packeropie 1 month ago
@pfliegaphonic not that kurt or eddie vedder bitched and moaned all the time about being famous, I think it was more a matter of kurt not knowing how to handle it, so it's not him being a whiner about his celebrity status, just him not being able to fully handle it.
packeropie 1 month ago
@pfliegaphonic Spot on! Two pointless opinions. Kurt's suicide was the end result of untreated depression. However, maybe the thought of playing Teen Spirit at age 70 settled the "Burn out or Fade away" dilemma? ALSO, let's not forget that Ronny & Keith have repeatedly bragged about the millions they blew on Heroin & Crack. To me that makes their ignorant comments even more disrespectful. But it was 17 years ago so maybe they both went on to feel regret.....and do a $150 per ticket world tour?

Everyone in Seattle thought what ended up happening to Nirvana was gonna happen Soundgarden b/c they were one of the first bands to get really noticed in that scene along with The Melvins and few others. Soundgarden were the first out of all the "grunge" bands to get signed to a major label. Really all I'm saying is that Nirvana is overrated. Yes they made good songs and all that but they saying Kurt was a poet and basically treating him like the god of alternative rock music is stupid.
fourstringlovemaker 2 months ago
@fourstringlovemaker Soundgarden is that it never felt authentic. I love them as a band, but here you have two frontmen who sing about depression and failing at life etc. Kurt ends up killing himself with a shotgun, while Chris carefully combs his hair and trims his beard to look *fabulous* (after soundgarden he straightens it, then gels it up to keep up with fashion). Soundgarden always had more musical talent, but they were never as authentic as Kurt was with his lyrics.
