NIRVANA - Drain You Radio Appearance [ John Peel Sessions ]

[hola7079]

Fuckin idiots you have to be deaf to hit the dislike button on any of nirvanas songs, Especially this one!!!

[hola7079]

Five ppl never passed it back in forth thru a passionate kiss.

[xKluTcHyy]

This is about his heroin addiction

[azapro911]

Kurt Cobain and John Peel: two of the most important men in music history. R.I.P. to both.

[AfraMbamba]

Possibly the greatest Nirvana song ever written in my opinion.

[nirvanafans1]

this actully the original song but butch vig doubltracked the songs .. in anyways kurt sounds amazing 

[PieceofMindmusic]

[Tailas444]

This has got to be the best version of this song ever recorded

[sherbert500]

@Tailas444 i tottally agree man im drunk but this is fucking awesome

[dylanfan1969]

@theXoriginalXnac I'm 42 and when Nirvana broke I was 22 in early 1992. It was a great time to be alive. And yes it broke the hair metal mold that had been a stagnant presence for many years and that's why it sounded different when it came out..

[spudsisnumber1]

@theXoriginalXnac yess i do but i dont care cuzzzzzz i get to stare at he beautiful breast's for about 43 minutes . so in my head, i score

[spudsisnumber1]

@theXoriginalXnac oh, well my pre algebra teacher is hot sooooo i win.

[ant0586]

cant wait to have this blasting out of my stereo when i get my hands on the nevermind 20th edition

[VacantPistol]

@ant0586 Fuck yeah!

[iHateThisShirt]

the chorus sounds like its autotuned of course its not but still

[OlgaMole]

OMG THIS IS SO FUCKING EPIC IN MY PUSSY

[jaytv777]

wow..just wow...

having a huge nirvana mid-life crisis revival at the moment ..what a great band ..but you already knew that eh?

[Yesornoization]

Yeah, pretty impressive if live; like quite spot on, really.

[xAleTheCrazyx]

AMO esta cancion

[HowtogetaHeadache]

Thumbs up if u never get a Thumb up XD

[insanerockout54]

This isn't exactly live. It was recorded in a studio just like the regular version, and they played the parts separately, but they probably took much less time putting it together and used no overdubs. But in most live versions of the song, Dave doesn't do the harmonies ( I don't think).

[thecookeyfiend]

@insanerockout54 he does, look at the live and loud performance.

[insanerockout54]

@thecookeyfiend never mind. You're right...I didn't do my research. Its also on the Reading festival video. But still, it sounds a lot cleaner when Dave doesn't have to drum at the same time.

[thecookeyfiend]

@insanerockout54 lol i just read your response.

youtube arguements, lol.

[fossilbox1991]

damn kurt nailed the vocals

[210ANR210]

Dam I thought this was the original ..but wow this is live?! That amazing it really is..

[sp1derfan90]

THIS shouldve been the album version!

[MrMoritzStiefel]

Epic michael jackson impression 0:17

[MrMoritzStiefel]

@MrMoritzStiefel I mean 1:17

[BlooperCooper36]

@MrMoritzStiefel perfect your mom

[WillHerndon]

kurts voice sounds amazing in this

[Kiter02]

@WillHerndon Yeah haha I actually like this more than the Nevermind version xD

[xooxye]

RIP Kurt! We love you!  <3

[ricchardo]

I'M LOVING THIS!! That flanger effect on the guitar and that massive echo sound on that final drum - WICKED!! That's how they should have done it on the album.

[manka6]

Nice flanger on the guitar.

[bakedevryday]

[NIRVANAjagstang97]

[SpRiiTeoO]

[lusidkid]

[Oliverware21]

Corny version :/

[edisdead1]

this is a class perfomance, is this before the album dropped

[TheGoldenShamrocks]

@edisdead1 Yeah, but only twenty days before.

[edisdead1]

@TheGoldenShamrocks its class dude, pure class.

[TheGoldenShamrocks]

@edisdead1 I totally agree man. This is probably my favorite version of the song.

[BeTheDeathOfMe]

I wonder of he was getting high off that deoderant whilst making the sound effects. You can get high off of deoderant? YES for fuck's sake. It's better than weed.

[SparxIce]

@BeTheDeathOfMe

except for damaging ur braincells 10 times faster then when ur using coke ... YES DO IT !! best thing i ever heard u go get high on Deo and tell us how u feel afterwards ... fucking idiot

[BeTheDeathOfMe]

@SparxIce

I'm aware of all that. And I'm aware of the fact that I'm an idiot and it will end up killing me... It doesn't matter though.

[soundofmusic94]

2:24 hahhajha, kurt was making a ...... hmmm. something?

[tinozza]

greeeeeeeaaaaaaaaatttttttttt very good performance,very good sounds

[PalmerNirvana]

how can even one person not like this! It's the most amazing version of this song i've ever heard. His voice is beyond good

[chukmaty]

Lovely how Peel's radio show had live music sound better than most recordings so consistently.

[Nobitur]

Kurt's voice..... It's so perfect in this.

[DrukKalypso]

I love his voice !

[torpid2]

[SillyMusic97]

[WizzleThump]

WITH EEEEYYYEEESSS SO DIIIIAAALATED I'VE BECOME YOU'RE PUPIL.

lOVE THAT.

[ChorlaRock]

Cobain isn't BucketHEAD Guys! What happened if cobain can't play a taping fast solo like buckethead?

This is the question, ANYONE CAN COMPOSE THIS FUCKING MELODY??? ANYONE!!

Fuck awesome nirvanaaaa , fuck virtiosism.

(sorry for my english, im spanish)

[aarontsmall1975]

For the fuckwits - a big part of the bands appeal is that they didn't give a rats rectum, about split-second timing, about whether or not the performance was perfect, or even if the audience liked it - THAT is punk/grunge/whatever the fuck it is now. This band achieved legendary status for basically never playing the same song, the same way twice...

Boil it down and that is what it comes to, they did not give a FUCK & just quietly, neither do I.

[caudilldesign]

@aarontsmall1975 Thank you

[MrCool187]

Why did u have to kill yourself Kurt I'll miss you better yet we'll all miss you he was at the top of his career but some how he was depressed I never saw them in concert cuz I was to young :'( happy late B-day Kurt

[PieceofMindmusic]

much better than the studio version i think. up thumb bby

[thatrottenzombie]

The John Peel sessions and the 1990 show at Iguanas are Kurt's best vocal performances to me.

[Brane976]

Heard this on Rock Band 2. Played it, loved it.

Then fuckin' aced it the third try on Expert

[wolfeman88]

@Brane976 dude are you serious? don't even mention that rock band shit on this page. like really? go grab your fake guitar controller and fuck it. fag

[scubaduba23]

@wolfeman88 LOL at the fuck your controller. seriously, that shit is for cheap bitches living a pretend fantasy in their fun-sized heads.

[caudilldesign]

@Brane976 fuck you

[DieserBenuterIstCool]

How could one guy make so many powerful songs? Kurt Cobain is a fucking legend.

[PieceofMindmusic]

the flange they put on kurts guitar sounds kind of stupid...but other than that, this is a totally amazing version!

[harshroger]

one of the best Nirvana songs

[harshroger]

Among my Nirvana Fav. along with lounge act and the whole in Utero cd

[hydrocodone1]

@harshroger yeah I really love the In utero album. Its raw. I dig Nevermind too. Its really polished. There are not many bands that have two cd's with all totally awesome songs

[kasabalisgreeksk8ter]

i think that nirvanas  demos are better that studio version version!

[dwark9]

this is my favourite version

[bigmuffexpress]

2:00 dave looks like the devil lol

[thelibrary88]

if you havent heard DRAIN YOU /LIVE FRENCH TV

[13oldschool]

How do you download this or get the cd to put on your ipod?

[zacbaht8]

[ChevyCamaro33]

in my opinion, all nirvana songs sound better live. its raw, grungy, unedited, and awesome.

[Furthest1]

i think i like this a lot better than the album version, im gonna download it now

[fabaowar79]

the best song of nirvana x2, NIRVANA FOREVER!

[thedude652]

NEW FAVORITE SONG.

[prooasis]

Nicely put your feelings into words senselesskill:) I felt the same thing after i heard this track...........so my family dont got long to live........2 minutes and counting. see you in prison.

[SenselessKILL]

if i would hear this song on radio the first time i would kidnap my whole family, rape their asses till they bleed and after that i would kill myself because i couldnt handle this godness of this song...

[TheHollowNick]

I bet when people heard this on the radio for the first time... their world just stopped... Its so orgasmic.

[BananaCo12321]

Your mum is orgasmic

[emmbee]

@BananaCo12321 this is the most childish reply in the history of YouTube comments ... and I can't stop laughing at it. well done. :)

[sosparemenow]

@BananaCo12321 just like this song!

[arrowsracef1]

@TheHollowNick i missed the whole nirvana era, only started listening to them a few years later, my god what a sound, this particular version of drain you is totally awesome, makes you go cold and the hairs on ya neck stand on end, my favorite nirvana track along with sliver.

[KingdomOfMyLove]

@TheHollowNick I swear thats something my friend would say ... BBUT ITS SO TRUE!

[trodster73]

@TheHollowNick Quite true,I remember taping this very Peel Session off the radio I nearly shit my pants!



[p1nkAcid]

i didnt realise fucktards would take me seriously... you need to take this shit less seriously

[p1nkAcid]

how the fuck can you assume my ignorance? Its a moot point anyway as the tattoo was a joke statement

[p1nkAcid]

besides, hes the dead one

[p1nkAcid]

how is it?

[SenselessKILL]

damn better than the album version

[bakedevryday]

awesome version of drain you

[gremlin0890]

2:00 dave looks like prince

[3440186]

grunge

[PS3rulls]

This is cool

[p1nkAcid]

he was nirvana

[p1nkAcid]

under my left eyebrow ;)

[cnacios]

makes my skin shiver

[p1nkAcid]

i love you kurt i dont regret tatooing your name onto my face at all

[LUKEHAPPYSAD]

lol

[InUtero312]

i love the way every peel session recording sounds. theres a natural reverb in the studio or something and bands seem super motivated.

[KILLerONcrax]

so true- legendary sound .

[Fabricioviedo]

i love this version, and yeah it sounds hella better cuz its in a higher tune lol

[Nodickfilms]

Great photos! Don't know where you found them but: Kudos!

[Grabbabba]

Wow they even had the steam effects!

[dealorn]

That's not steam, it's a can of air freshener lol They used it along with other effects in the studio, one item they used was a rubber ducky. :| It still sounds great

[submissivelover]

You have to be, that was his lifes work. I mean that is so mean to his memory, he was someone alot of people loved.

[1713162434]

nice video buddy... the photos area amazing!...we will never forget you kurt

[submissivelover]

I mean come on man, he's dead. Andy warhol is dead. Let him have what he was known for. He was a great artist, and sure he did things htat we may find stupid today. But he was an original artist who inspired alot of people.

[cye101]

I suppose its impossible to establish whether or not Warhol had "artistic skill" or that he was "a fad that is already passing." All I can say is that his work was unlike anything I'd seen before him and his work makes me feel something.

[bishop199115]

you dont have to be able to play fast on guitar to be good its about creativity and the way things work

[RunningForLast]

@bishop199115 EXACTLY its not what kind of solos u can play its the kind of songs you write that detirmines your skill. im so tired of people saying nirvanas guitar work sucks.

[drumlord420]

@bishop199115 Exactly! Same goes for any instrument. The best, most memorable musicians aren't the fastest or the most technical, but the most passionate.

[cye101]

re: defining a good guitarist. I think one must consider what it means to be a "good" artist in general. Certainly Andy Warhol is considered a great visual artist. However, he did not possess the technical skills of Leonardo DaVinci. Even without technical prowess, he used his personal vision to evoke emotion in a unique way. I think Cobain is a Warhol-type artist while more technical players like Eddie Van Halen are of the DaVinci type. Both are equally excellent but just different.

[alexthemod1]

very well put!

[testostrogenitalz]

i like you

[cye101]

the way he sings "one baaaaaby to another..." at the beginning is so beautiful. his voice was so melodic and yet so raw at the same time...unlike any other rock singer. he could scream on pitch...its analagous to putting your voice through a distortion box. i absolutely love it. the john peel sessions are great because there are no studio tricks like on Nevermind so you get to hear the band so authentically.

[313angels313]

I agree with totally

[CaseRed0605]

Very nice

[minos50ify]

there's definitely a chorus on it but I'd say there's also a flanger not a phaser. maybe I'm wrong.

[TheFilippe16]

Nirvana - Drain You \o/

[cinciun]

una bomba... meravigliosi!! questa peel session spacca davvero yeahhhhhhhh!

[Furthest1]

i like the effect on the guitar, is that a phaser?

[Dayyyv]

Definately some phasing going on, maybe some slight chorusing too...he liked his chorusing.

[evolutionshadow]

yes

[austinbercaw]

Kurt couldnt play the guitar well he was pretty much self taught but he knew how to make music simple and amazing thats what sets him apart from the rest

[alexthemod1]

how would you define a good guitar player?

[BleachLiveDive]

you really can't it depends on the genre, i think.

[alexthemod1]

i wud disagree, i think it depends on creativity and sound.

[NirvanaVideoVault]

i define a good guitar player a kurt cobain!! :D

[PONETECHETE]

1:12 - 1:18

Kurt Morph to Michael Jackson??? WTF!

[ElektroShura]

Jajajajaja

LMAO

[Joah1991]

LOL!

[JackassFanPlayer]

yeah this rules!

[FazlokAaAaAaA]

Fuck Buckethead!

[91exzaklee]

does it matter how fast you can play?

[BenLucian89]

i hate it when people, and mostly other AMATURE musicians diss on kurt guitar playing, cuz he cant play like buckethead to put it that way.funny it always comes from these losers with no lives, who sit in their basement with expensive guitars,having nothing to do but to crap on bands who prefer to write simple but melodic music. Nirvana has a lot of great melodies that keep sticking in your head

[91exzaklee]

ur right and sooo many levels.......kurt was the one of the greats guitarist who ever live...and musically still alive

[LemonInYourEye]

well said
