NIRVANA - Unplugged In New York - Best Part

[FlySociety06]

yeah I'm sure kurt would want an ad for boots cover up half the screen

[zmandyxx]

flippin amazing song ill put it like that man

[BranOfTheDon]

the part where he draws out the "I'm onnnnn" was actually unintentional, he forgot what the next words were for a second but this somehow just made it even better.

[emrst6]

@BranOfTheDon He didn't forget the next words, he switched to the wrong chord and had to switch real quick. but yes it did sound good even though he screwed up lol

[ZACKALLEN94]

isn't weird how u added this a day after his death day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. Kurt Cobain

[elvinjeff1]

como ueden decir que lago de fuego es mejor que esta cancion., cunado todos saben que las canciones de nirvana sin esepcion son geniales.

todas sus canciones sonincreibles,

[co7wa77]

He did it by himself because it sounded like shit in the rehearsals.

[TheMrAwesomeDx]

Love this voice.....

[Bluevetteboy2012]

Pennyroyal Tea was just Kurts way of saying I need help and I am going to kill myself. IMO

[NorskParody]

I think every song of this consert was pure amazing. Can't decide who's best.

[irishOvivi]

@NorskParody true!

[MrSprocket2010]

@rsohlich1 i agree with you everett true's book is way better than cross's.

[TheDGUITAR]

not best part of unplugged



[lifestraight]

Yeah this i definitely one of the best parts. I woulkd say second only to "Where Did You Sleep Last Night".

[co7wa77]

@lifestraight

Lake of Fire is better than this song too.

[lifestraight]

@co7wa77 Nah. "Where Did You Sleep Last Night", but not "Lake of Fire".

[MrSprocket2010]

charles r cross vividly describes the opening bit of this video in his book 'heavier than heaven'.

[rsohlich1]

@MrSprocket2010 Cross sucks dude. I have read Heavier than Heaven, and although its not bad, is filled with mainly Courtney giving her memory of Kurt. She has Cross around her finger. Read "Nirvana:" by Everett True. I find it more genuine, or even "Come As You Are" by Azerrad.

[MsHardss]

I don t like

[chino516]

Love kurt for his music

[Leono182]

Meaning

The herb Pennyroyal is sometimes used as an abortifacient. An alternate explanation is that the song is just what it seems about at face value: a person "sitting and drinking pennyroyal tea." In Cobain's Journals, there is an entry where he explains (as much as possible for someone who said that his songs did not have a single meaning) the tracks on In Utero. The explanation simply reads: "herbal abortive... it doesn't work, you hippie. .::SOURCE WIKIPEDIA::.

[DaManzMoney]

So what we now just post the better parts of songs? WTF what ever happened to the whole song

[fudgehead333]

Pennyroyal is actually an herb in which it is used for abortions. In other words it's a cheap way to have an abortion.

[LemurDeCatta]

@fudgehead333

What? Pennyroyal tea calms your stomach down. Kurt had a bad stomach that always bothered him, he probably loved pennyroyal tea.

[storksforever2000]

@LemurDeCatta

dude pennyroyal is extremely toxic. its poisonous. i dont think Kurt was sippin on that so much. youd have to make it yourself anyway. they dont sell it, for obvious reasons.

[LemurDeCatta]

@storksforever2000

It is? I was reading something from someone that said it eased the stomach a lot.

[storksforever2000]

@LemurDeCatta

he mightve been drinkin regular tea, but the thing you read must have been fucking around. Pennyroyal tea used to be used to try and abort fetuses in pregnant women, and women sometimes died from it. i can see why kurt wouldve liked the image

[LemurDeCatta]

@storksforever2000

I was on a site called "songmeanings" or something, and someone said it. But yeah, the song is something Kurt would definitely sing about.

[lifestraight]

@storksforever2000 I think he was saying his depression is like pennyroyal tea, because it "steals the life that's inside of me" they way Pennyroal Tea is supposed to be an abortion method that literally takes the life from a woman's womb. Kurt was saying something takes the life from inside of him.

[storksforever2000]

@lifestraight

oo thats a cool interpretation. i like that. it kind of rings true too

[NORMANGODS]

@lifestraight oh thats what he means,i thought he was singing about tea the drink,he doesnt mention depression tho but maybe ur right

[OmegaGaiden]

@NORMANGODS

Actually, when Kurt sings "give me Leonard Cohen/so I can't sigh eternally" he is referring to when he was depressed he would listen to Leonard Cohen, and that would usually just make him more depressed. He said the last part jokingly, though.

[NORMANGODS]

@OmegaGaiden yeh i cant see listening to leonard cohen being any good for u lol

[hugofernanades]

kurt loved tea because i had serious problems and the only thing who could solve that was his tea

[xtremejeffhardy1313]

penniroyal tea is a drug..duuh

[mtillusion]

lol you did pick all the parts he fucks up in. he's searching and off key at the beginning but finds it, and starts the line im anemic royalty. but remembers at the last second its sit and drink penny roal tea, so it sounds more like im anemennyroyal, tea..... lol whatever floats your boat man kurt rules this show was amazing and nirvana belongs in the top 10 best rock n roll bands of all time no doubt.

[lifestraight]

@mtillusion So that's what he says. I thought he said something like. "I'ma a make mennyroyal" or something. Makes sense now.

[FlawlessAngle]

you are stupid who cares?

[TheDD35]

he also did this by himself because he had been on a bad binge and wasnt there for them to reherse the song.

[kurtcourtney67]

False, watch the fucking DVD and you'll see that they rehearsed the song. Don't talk bullshit.

[lifestraight]

@kurtcourtney67 I dont think they rehearsed Pennyroyal Tea. It's not on the unplugged dvd.

[kurtcourtney67]

@lifestraight It is. =)

[digitalprincessink]

@TheDD35 No he did it alone because it wasn't so great during reheardals - just search nirvana mtv unplugged rehersal pennyroyal tea

@ one point pat is also singing then dave starts playing pats guitar...

[Fonste]

Er... Kurt wrote the lyrics, and normally, he could change in whatever he wanted to.

[Fanpires23]

what are you talking about Kurdt got the lyrics right. I was looking at them while listening to this.

[joekara08]

great part and awesome song

[sorxie]

that was the best part!
