I love that all the comments on this video about Mike Landau! Showstealer :P

[gemsthemaxima]

te voi a matar perra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[serginhoguitarra]

Michael Landau the best!

[Jowl]

hahahaha landau!!! the fucking man!!! sick!!

[costumemakestheclown]

Cool!! i love Michelle Branch i think she's amazing, but i prefer her own songs!! ;)

[PapaDudeness]

I've never felt in love with a Nirvana song before... Mike Landau we salute you!

[Rownery]

That guy on the drums is really sweet, I dont know how he does it

[superslonic]

How to get such sound on the guitar as on 3:06?

[buzzingdave]

octa-fuzz + univibe types of pedals, playing a close interval such a 2nd or a minor 3th ;)

[fusionakis]

@buzzingdave Can you tell me what's the effect he's using for the entire song? I thought he used an Arion Chorus for Leslie type effect, but it can also be the Voodoo Vibe. And you're probably right, he is also using an octa-fuzz on 2:55 for example. Anyway, any advice would be helpful.

[buzzingdave]

I'm quite sure is the Voodoo Vibe, not the Arion Chorus. with the SCH-1 you can simulate a nice fast leslie effect, but not this slow growl you can listen here.

If you go to the song Breathe you can ear an ex of the SCH-1.

Hope this can help.

[fusionakis]

@buzzingdave Thanks for your reply... I agree with you by the way.

[buzzingdave]

Viking you say it perfectly, Landau is the man!

Mike free that alien from you Les Paul!!! :D

[Viking541]

Totally amazing how one of today's most accomplished and "advanced" guitarists captures the ultra-"primitive" style of the glorious Nirvana song and adds his own personal contribution with raw, uncompromizing guts. Spot on, downright inspired performance by Mr. Landau; a great tribute to a true genius by a true master!

Too bad the others don't measure up.

[kurtswidme]

nirvana is always best,,,

but a grat try

[stratcat07]

NIrvana didnt have Mr. Mike Landau, so therefore, this rocks more!!!

[glassbowls]

@stratcat07 booooooooooooooooo

[mgrgin]

Mike mutherfucking Landau! This guy kills me every time!

[h0bbitatheart]

Say what you will, but I think this is one of the better attempts to cover this song. I mean, of course the original is better, and no one matches Cobain. But this isn't terrible by any means.

[e6e2e3e1]

omg horrible...

[Thisisarace]

michelle branch does great here n mike landau's solo is totally BADASS!!

[silent6655]

fuking ace

[Xtinaguilera16]

michelle rocks!!! haha~

[cynol0102]

That guitar sounded good...but i don't like Michelle Branch's voice.

[TravisHY]

Landau is the only one in the band that makes this cover listen-able. He's the only who is playing loud and the only one pissing off Michelle. I think he gets it more than anyone else does in the group.

[summertimebluesjony]

The first time I listened to this Nirvana's cover by Michelle Branch, I felt really excited, because of her amazing voice and the hard-rocking guitar..so, I'm really keen on it!!! ;)

[arachknight]

Wow Mike Landau pwns. And yes, never sit down to sing a Nirvana song, especially this one or teen spirit...for shame! Still I like this version more than Amy's version which is ironic cause I love Amy Lee. Not so much a Branch fan, kudos to Landau on that.

[elco68]

Well she is several month pregnant here. I've been to several concerts lately and never seen her sitting in them. She does the song justice. I wish I was there to see that show.Mike was with her and Teddy at the Stagecoach show last friday. I hope there some video of it soon. Michelle sister Nicole is sing with her now also.

[jcenadude]

You realize, Kurt played his most famous concert sitting the entire time, right?

[spinemelter2000]

I'd hit it.

[Grumbll]

Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....­..........

[co05]

This is a mind blowing cover of "Heart-Shaped Box". Hats fucking off to Michelle.

[JamesTyler90]

i love landau!!!! wow!!!!! Amazing!!!!

[pestifero1983]

Landauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­

[ebennich]

you should never sit down to sing a nirvana song. shame shame...

[aberwastone]

was not so good...somebody seems a little tired of being a star.

[aberwastone]

she sucks@!@@

[kurtcrowbain]

ridiculous

[pegleyjr]

Very surprised by Michelle's version! She is with the country duo(?) The Wreckers now, right? That was a surprise move.

[brianmooredc1]

landau, you sneaky son of a bitch! one of my favorite guitar players, period...

[stretch54]

The band was better than Nirvana. They just need Kurt doing the singing.

[plattnacke]

MIke Landau on LEad Guitar!!

[SONaddikt]

i heard her do this cover in flagstaff and have been looking for it forever! she has such a beautiful voice

[davidhuangg]

Meh. Original > this, but this isn't the worst.

[kittycobain]

its an okay cover, except she doesnt seem to be that into the song and the crowd is just standing there lol

[katherinehale15]

don't 'eff around with nirvana covers,

you frickin suck.

screw you michelle branch.

[SONaddikt]

your not the only bitch who likes nirvana. n if you dont like nirvana covers so much then y'd ya watch it

[martini613]

I usually don't like Nirvana covers because I don't like people messing with the originals, but Michelle has a really nice voice and I think she did ok.

[semacomer]

main guitarist kicks ass at interpreting Kurts line, fucking awesome artist

[dearone1]

an interesting cover I think...I reckon she did it justice. at least, as others have said here, she made it her own :)

[ethan306]

At least her version is much better than the Evanescence version, imo.

[coffeeANDcigarettes6]

I like Nirvana's version the best but I do think that you all should stop putting down Amy and Michelle for MAKING IT THEIR OWN- not just making a carbon copy.

[xxf3lixth3catxx]

thank you! so true

[strikeshot09]

screw amy lee's and michell branch's versions! nirvana plays it the best. no one can beat the original.

[Gregoriz95]

Amen to that. Nirvana made this song. they made it famous. Not evanescence, not michelle branch. Kurt's voice in combination with Nirvana's playin is what makes it awesome. these guys dont even play the notes correctly. If anyone plays this song, they should be a guy with a vocal range as good as Kurt's, and the song should be played CORRECTLY!!

[Cancun187]

"nirvana plays it the best. no one can beat the original"

Too true

[Vjuggalo]

This is better than the Amy Lee version. Amy Lee's version is just too much choir-like. This song is meant to be rough sounding.

[morrizhon]

great!!!

[takauya]

michael landau rocks!!!!!!!!

[VomitTyme]

I like this better than amy lee's, michelle isn't trying to prove she hardcore like amy lee, she just paying tribute to a good song

[benskx]

meh... liked the amy lee version much better. amy lee kicks michelle branch's ass anyday.

[Cancun187]

"liked the amy lee version much better"

They both suck, with this one sucking less.

[Tballx22]

thank you for telling us.

[Degenerateen]

i jacked off to her before.

[infinitig20p10]

NICE

[PrincessOfDaroness]

Desculpem, mas o Kurt Cobain canta muito melhor do que ela... Ninguém nunca cantará como o Kurt!

[twiztedjustin]

There's a creepy old white dude rocking that song all wrong. What's up with that ?

[mar008resch]

it's michael landau! a studio legend! show some respect... ;-)

[periodshortage]

I think he rocks it.

[Cancun187]

hahaha. That's good shit.

[reinacharmed]

i love michelle branch, she rocks! astig!!!

[Bindimbu]

most of the copy cat sucks, but she rocks with the song! in malay, her style o singing is 'slumber' which means...er..like how kurt sing songs..XD

[chrsvor25]

certainly better then the evanescence one. makes me wish i got tickets to see her.

[peleleman1]

...well i'm not going to say anything about that.

[jellybeanburrito]

is the seether one here? id like to hear that

[thegame2626]
