Nirvana - Son Of A Gun

[torpid2]

A cover of the vaselines along with mollys lips and jesus wants me for a sunbeam. look to right for originals>>>>>>

[TheMusicinears]

only 240p?, fuck u youtube!

[Oxidized181]

i don't think people realize that this is a cover that nirvana did,....he didn't make this song

[jimsters2]

@Oxidized181 I'm gonna guess the cover was by leadbelly? He did a LOT of cover songs from him.

[Oxidized181]

@jimsters2 son of a gun by the vaselines , one of kurt's favorite bands

[jimsters2]

@Oxidized181 Oh thanks. I just assumed Leadbelly because Kurt said he was his favorite artist of all times and he did a crap load of covers.

[TheJbfan666]

@jimsters2 He did 1?

[jimsters2]

@TheJbfan666 Yeah he did the songs "Grey Goose" and "They Hung Him on a Cross" were both covers. The song "House of The Rising Sun" was actually made by Leadbelly.

[peponserio]

KURT the best forever!

[donwantstobesedated]

I just can't watch a video about Nirvana with someone saying Courtney Love killed him can I?

[suicidesucks08]

@donwantstobesedated nope

[blackgrp549]

st jimmy

[Jedlether]

this album is amazing for setting up the kitchen in work at 9am, full blast!

[Dregkar]

A happy sounding Nirvana song o.O

[gdynski]

He was the man....That fucking diesel and that hoe courtney did him in.

[TheRockinpneumonia]

after bleach this is my fave nirvana album. fucking mint!!!!!!

[1bhawks]

Nirvana can cover almost anything

[E16MeLInEuM]

Why do people live their life wondering what's going to happen after death? How can you say your living today if your worrying about tomorrow? Fucking stupid.

[shazf74]

OMG - LOVE THIS SONG

[hockeydude634]

k .....kurt cobain made me deaf for a minite 0:00 but its ok ...

[ManilaSyndicate]

Such a warm and moving song which I've loved since I first heard it all those years ago. An all-time favorite.

[MrEeqqee]

people who are in school, fuck it, just rock out and listen to nirvana :D i missed my whole school life listening to Nirvana :D didnt study for anything...yeah rock out!!! XD anyone else partially agree? :D

[BloodEndorphin]

@MrEeqqee

Actually i'm on the same boat as you :P

3 months ago I dropped out of school because i was failing everything I spent most days jamming along to nirvana instead of doing homework and study and shit lol

Don't regret a thing :P

[MrEeqqee]

@BloodEndorphin well great, cos thats all i did, smoke (ok maybe not you) and listen to Nirvana. fuck school XD im glad someone agrees

[leeharveyosmosis]

@BloodEndorphin

....fer fuck's sake, you do realize without an education your likely to get mostly shit-ass jobs and be dicked around by asshole bosses who will screw you even harder than a regular employee because you have "no education" and are more expendable in his/her eyes. If you think teachers are bad, think about the bosses who will feel even less obliged to give a fuck about you.

Bite the bullet and finish your schoolin'. You can still party/smoke up/jam/etc. at the same time.

[BloodEndorphin]

@leeharveyosmosis

I know but you have no idea what I went through at school.

I'm not going to go into detail but everyday made me feel like suicide because of certain people.

I knew that somebody was bound to comment saying that I'm stupid.

But It's my life and if I fucked up then that's my problem so please don't judge me according to the little amount of information I have given :P

[bwd81977]

@BloodEndorphin Nah you're not stupid. What happened?

[iHateThisShirt]

@leeharveyosmosis Yea these days most college Graduates can't find a job or find a job that pays shit

(i read a recent article)

[IarinhaCJBM]

@MrEeqqee When some stupid teachers start to piss me off, Nirvana starts to play in my head and I just imagine what Kurt would do in the same situation... he wouldn't give a shit, lol. So I blow the speakers as loud as I can when I'm home xD Nirvana is better than school. I know how important education can be, but I wouldn't stop listening to music most of the time just cuz teachers say that studying is way better than this.

[MrEeqqee]

@IarinhaCJBM haha yeah, when i get stressed at work, i just play nirvana over, basically think about the same as you pal XD good way. grunge forever!!!

[Unicornioazul200]

I prefer the Vaselines version but this is awesome.

[ChrisJD83706]

Cobain had a great voice for punk rock.

[MrLovingrocknroll]

fuck u dislikers -.-

[iHateThisShirt]

i suck for just finding out this cover/song

[ThePurplehaze246]

this reminds me of being a kid or as my mam wud say when i was a little shit lmao!

:)

[stupidscrewedseries]

@ThePurplehaze246 purple haze? commenting on a nirvana video??? made my day X)

[infraball]

@stupidscrewedseries what. i don't get it.

[stupidscrewedseries]

@infraball the username i replied to -.-

[infraball]

@stupidscrewedseries no shit. but how does it make your day..?

[stupidscrewedseries]

@infraball THAT HIS FUKKIN NAME IS BOUT JIMI AND HES WATCHING A FUKKING NIRVANA VIDEO!! if you dont get it then idk wtf to tell you.

[infraball]

@stupidscrewedseries purple haze.. nirvana.. durrrr. still doesn't make any sense.

[stupidscrewedseries]

@infraball He hass a good taste in musiccc -___- geeeeeezzzz aha.

[JhonnyDaemon]

Nirvana helped me get through my damn childhood.

[hgafjkshfsaljkhf]

@JhonnyDaemon same bro

[obd65]

Right right....i get it

[canadianidiot1039]

and i broke the replay button again

[tomshanski8716]

The harmony in the chorus, "when we play" is orgasmic. Its simultaneously sad and happy. Sappy i think is the word... some cool guy came up with that word.

[futuremusician728]

@tomshanski8716 And Nirvana has a song called Sappy. ;P

[RP199]

@praesulSalii & a monastary in upstate NY. oh and she said she did keep some too. But she's a psycotic sociopath and a compulsive liar. so who knows.....maybe she just locked kurt in a closet for past 17 yrs.. & who is this she

[Nikolausius]

very energetic song... great!!!!!!!

@ all you religion discussing guys :

DONT FEED THE TROLLS!!!

[Nirvana1923]

bitch bitch son of a bitch ;D, i love you nirvana!

[RobertBalto]

@praesulSalii actually Courtney kept at least some of his ashes because I recall a couple of years ago there was a controversy involvig his ashes being stolen...also, how does not knowing the full details of Kurt Cobain's remains make me a "tard"?

[TopherBlairMusic]

@zian1977c Suicide doesn't send anyone to hell. If you're coming from Christian theology then yeah, you're mistaken. What you are implying by saying suicide is a fast ticket to hell is that Christ's blood can't cover every sin, therefore his sacrifice was useless because we are still dependent on our works. Galatians, Romans, Hebrews. A trilogy of salvation through grace NOT works...now lets enjoy this song.

[NuChemicalGeneration]

i love Kurt's artwork! its all just thought provoking..

[CtrlRm]

Best Nirvana cover

[RobertBalto]

@zian1977c Actually he's in an urn.

[WinterxSeas]

i've been sad for the past hour and i clicked this song and now i'm a bit happier.

:) even though i hurt still this song just distracts it

[egosdark003]

@zian1977c depends on what you believe

[shewolf418]

@zian1977c I don't believe he went to hell.

[gr33nandpurpletictac]

damn nirvana so distracting ... ive been doin the same math question for like half an hour

[Governm3nt]

@gr33nandpurpletictac I listen to Nirvana as I do my math too, and it helps me. :P

[HempForPresident]

@gr33nandpurpletictac Try Bach instead. Or Beastie Boys - In Sound From Way Out

[heysills]

@gr33nandpurpletictac you fockin rule dude!

[PVumbe]

is the sound in the beginning suppose to happen?

[pompisXD]

@PVumbe yeah it's a sound coming from a pedal i think

[superdhebz]

My player is on shuffle and every time it plays this song, I can't help but to bang my head! hahahaha Thanks to the vaselines for the song! ;p

[pompisXD]

I think I'm gonna play this to children when I become a music therapist..it's gonna be fuckin awesome i can't wait

[shewolf418]

@pompisXD awesome!!

[shewolf418]

I wonder where Kurt's spirit is? Am I the only one who wonders this? He's probably like: Jesus you did care for sunbeam!! lol

[GDookie16]

0:00 wake up !

[MrPederdingo]

The raining started when you went away, Kurt.

[LeapingZebra504]

does anyone else feel like headbangin,jumping,and dancing all at the same time????

[TheNukeAndMathShow]

@LeapingZebra504 I do feel like this, and i do this in the school halls !

[xristosMalta]

When i was in high school a made a sign of Nirvana on my desk at home with metal letters. When i bought Incesticide a year later i realized that it was the exact same as the CD cover. I was so proud of it :)

[oiramldx]

I heard the cover but sang by a girl

anyone know it?

[AnthonyDoesSOADcover]

@oiramldx you mean by the vasilines......-_-

[CherPsKy]

@oiramldx What you've heard is not a cover, it's the original song sang by The Vaselines.

This is a cover...

[MrRainbowBubble]

Great song. ; d

[joeblufc]

Very punkish this song, its awesome!

[HailLuciferDarkgirl]

^^

[hardcorekristin]

Replay,REplay,REPlay,REPLay,RE­PLAy,REPLAY dammit!!! ;D

[TFReviews1]

This and the vaselines version always bring a smile to my face :)

[pescolinha]

Nirvana's covers are always the best.

[KrikCocaine]

My favorite song of all time. Incesticide really helped me through my grandmother's death.

[rubbersoulizeee]

@KrikCocaine No one really cares

[kylewattel]

fuck nirvana the vaselines are so much better

[festringa]

@kylewattel such a bad point of view ,If you don't like them then don't listen too . But In my opinion we all should listen to music for whatand it is and not a stupid contest .

[FailProgrammingIRE]

Happy Birthday Kurt R.I.P

[PaudinsDrawings]

Isn't grunge punk with a strong guitar sound? n_n

[ruggalexander84]

@PaudinsDrawings grunge is the bastard son of punk and metal.

[alexanderthereverand]

@PaudinsDrawings Pretty much It is semi punk with sloppy guitar style

[PaudinsDrawings]

@alexanderthereverand ok ok, Awesome and are grunge texts similar to each other?

[alexanderthereverand]

@PaudinsDrawings What are grunge texts

[PaudinsDrawings]

@alexanderthereverand Grunge lyrics

[alexanderthereverand]

@PaudinsDrawings oh i see they are pretty similar it depends on the writer they seem to be mostly about the writers experiences or views on a subject

[PaudinsDrawings]

@alexanderthereverand Ok, so the lyrics are just like other genres. So it's just the semi punk + Sloppy guitar style what makes grunge?

[jonballs1357]

@PaudinsDrawings see i thought this song was a bit more punk sounding then the rest of there stuff but it sounds amazing.it is a little more upbeat then the rest of there stuff

[chemicalJK]

@jonballs1357 i believe that grunge is not only a style or genre of music i would have to say that grunge is a way of life...a way of life far from trends and a way of life that you pick and not other people for u.....and above all not caring about whatever other assholes say about you....similar to punk......combined with unique styling and according attitudeaswellaswiththeawsomem­usicnot only by nirvana but also pearl jam and alice in chains i think you pretty much have the grunge explanation

[jonballs1357]

@chemicalJK see i was into death metal but grunge hit me like a tidal wave and has stuck with me

[chemicalJK]

@jonballs1357 yeah io hear you but my opinion is that every single genre of music is unique and has its own distinguishing characteristics all music is subjective and u can find good elements in all the forms. hell i listen to death metal sometimes as well !!!!

[6868curtiss]

omg, i havnt heard this song for ever. i was a freshmen in high school when he died, i grew up in seattle, so as you can imagine. he was god. plus i have the same name as him. so i always felt a bond to him and nirvana.. im proud to say i lived and continue to live the grunge life style. rip kurt. ive missed your great music. but love the music you left us with. thanks. your fan curt.....

[princessiero2]

Not the same without good old Frances McKee.

[flo0r]

(◕_◕)

[deadpoolcloud]

I wear Converse so that means I know every fucking thing about Nirvana!

[Justen1980]

kids like music more than schoolwork it's just the nature of things

[xTaylorr12345]

I cried.

[xsonicyouth81]

how many covers have nirvana did gosh!

[Justen1980]

@xsonicyouth81

son of a gun

molly's lips

turnaround

D7

Here she comes now

man who sold the3 world

lake of fire

plateau

....i lost count

[xsonicyouth81]

@Justen1980 but theyre still a great band but it makes me dislike nirvana more and more everytime i hear the original version of their covers

[Justen1980]

@xsonicyouth8 Nirvana was the impetus for the term "grunge" music. These guys didn't like to eat apples because that would've led them to bleed to death through there gums.

[Pato88888]

so ridiculously beautiful makes me wanna cry

[nehnehmjfan22]

This song is kind of...cute. I don't know what I mean by that, but I know I mean it. I wanna post the sun shines line as my status, but people could take that 2 different ways if you think about it....

Goodness, I love Nirvana. & I don't care who killed Kurt or what subgenre this song is. All I know is I have a big poster of Mr. Cobain smoking a cigarette and my friends and I once tried to imitate his awesomeness..

We're 15; we had no cigs. We used a barbie doll mermaid instead. D:

[DrawingsByEhvh]

I totally freaked out at the start.. MY EARS!

[googlecheep]

@DrawingsByEhvh hahaha same :D =/

[Weraisethenerdyflag]

Nirvana is KNOWN for killing other peoples songs

I hate to say it but no matter what nirvana covers it always sounds better than the original

[lublinland]

@Weraisethenerdyflag

You're absolutely right! the best example is Lake of Fire. The Meat Puppets version sucks...

[Ekyvvsaq]

@Weraisethenerdyflag HAve you herad their version of Baba Oriley ir Immigrant song? AWful I say!

[BackingTracks6661]

@Ekyvvsaq Kurt improvised Immigrant Song. Not sure about Baba o Riley.

But the songs Kurt REALLY loved in his live. He'd put it all into it. At the party. Someone yelled out "Play Zepplin" or something like that.

But I agree. Those covers were bad.

[PunkRockPrincess961]

*__________________________*

[studas2011]

Sunshines in the bedroom when we play. Pure.

[mousyache]

uhmm ... what was annoying loskeychain?...I only wrote the lyrics of this song....and the last line only was a way to end up...but I dont find it annoying at all dude....maybe you are annoyed by something...well..anyway...NIR­VANA WAS AN INSPIRATION FOR TOO MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD...and STILL THEY ARE :)

[rhaydon6784]

This is their best....Nevermind sucks compared to this album.

[Aven2012]

@rhaydon6784 Totally agree.

[davideyeary]

people are stupid..all people...myself included..I am the worst......

[SmellsLikeBassSpirit]

I damn love this song.

[999rambo999]

It's kinda funny knowing that Nirvana plays this

[TITSandASSman4life]

i have the weirdest boner...

[DrChalkwithering]

@pepfest Well personally I'm still alive, whereas he is dead, so that'd DrChalkwithering 1, Cobain 0.

[vi54]

@pepfest

even more so, kurt adored them, saw him as god.

I love this cover more as the original, respect where due tough. but its a very great version. love the combo of kurt & dave's voices.

[KaiserPotatoe95]

Everyone, Shut the fuck up and just listen to the song will ya?

[iammrchubbsful]

i hate how people act like genres are inherent in all music. They work to a point, but are NOT categorical. AKA stop arguing about something that doesn{t even exist

[emastrable]

Siento una sensacion muy linda y rara al escuchar este tema, pero esta version de nirvana... en muchisimos años va a surgir otra banda asi! NIRVANA FOREVER

[PunkMarmy]

i love this song

Nirvana for ever, dude

[mousyache]

I totally agree with Zebra5775....why we all or the people who thinks to "know more about music classification of bands genre" should be arguing or discussing?..the only thing I can tell you all guys...girls and boys from all ages...is that WE ALL ARE HUMAN BEINGS THAT UNDERSTAND...LOVE AND LIKE ANY KIND OF MUSIC..that is why we would not have to "kill ourselves and each other" with injuries or stupid and unnecessary disagreements of what we like or what we don't..ENJOY THE MUSIC, LIFE IS SHORT!

[lostkeychain]

@mousyache that was annoying and the last line was pointless.

[SimplyShadow]

cobain was such a talented writer.

ex:

The sun shines in the bedroom

When we play

The raining always starts

When you go away

[maniashki]

@SimplyShadow Kurt didn't wrote this song ..The original of the song is by "The Vaselines :D

[ejsharp225]

@SimplyShadow : It was actualy written by The Vaselines but Kurts version is a lot better in my opinion.

[marymerry]

@SimplyShadow dude this is a Vaselines song.

[RockhardIbanhead]

def sounds like he was having fun with the song when they made it!

[clayandaaron]

@vrgf you can never move on from nirvana.... :O

[notwiglets]

this isn't punk, it's post-industrial melodic grungecore with a hint of cinnamon.

[halosn1per117]

@notwiglets haha I like this comment.

[Videosofwolves]

@notwiglets and a twist of lemon!

[babeeshopiez123]

@Videosofwolves :D



[sirwinfredsmith]

@notwiglets can i get sugar with that too?

[jmslft16]

what i love about nirvana is theyre ability to take a song like this and make it their own.

[RockhardIbanhead]

@jmslft16 damn straight!

[jimmaytonner]

Never better.. never worse.

Nirvana = God

[CyberSpectrumND]

Reminds me of 90s Nickelodeon shows, before Nick got shit. Or just childhood.

[KJ0012]

@CyberSpectrumND diffenetly man..... true.

[westza100]

@CyberSpectrumND ahh 90's kids shows were the best

[RedGhost0]

@CyberSpectrumND Ditto.

[pennyroyalkurtgrl]

@CyberSpectrumND

yeah... i remember in '99, when i was 4, i'd always watch hey arnold and cat scratch and stuff like that. now, the only good nick shows r iCarly and victorious. the rest is shit.

[Craigmin]

@CyberSpectrumND Yup.

[daftmastercheifpunk]

nirvana is in the nirvana genre! XP

[TheDunkaccino]

Anyone who thinks Nirvana is a depressing band needs to listen to this song.

[annkecm12]

they cover the Vaselines songs better than they cover other songs.

[SurgicalSteelNipple]

hm...yes...indeed...shallow and pedantic...XD

[jugaduh101]

0:03



[nirvanas1fan]

Zebra is rite

[tim9191ful]

Thanks Zebra

[kibblescrew]

it sucks that this song is a cover it also sucks that kurt didnt write songs like this but he really didnt have to

[JamestheKilljoy]

AHHHHH i love this song

it makes me so horny for some reason.... jk.... or AM i?

[nomissimon21]

This song reminds me of morphine

[MUNT0N]

I love this song. :)

[tomviolenceisadream]

i didnt know that this one is a cover!!

[NinjofGinj]

Its a vaselines song that Nirvana covered in a punk style.Their diversity was what attracted me to them and I agree with Zebra5775, Nirvana couldnt be pigeon holed and I'm sure Kurt Cobain who'd have hated to be stigmatised.

[CyanoticFuture]

@NinjofGinj Will you stigmatize me..... pretty please?

[getsbent]

CLAssic MY FAve Nirvana song crank it till the windows shatter :)

[Nobitur]

awesomesauce
