[Timon856]

Fajny cover:)

[manhood555]

blew77d7 you are right dude :)

[killerlop2000]

2012 thumbs up :D

[SuperMrvman]

i wanna kiss molly

[Blew77D7]

Every song Nirvana covers is better than the original version. Just my opinion. I watched The man who sold the world live by david bowie and i LMFAO!

[thekurt19671994]

kiss kiss Molly's Lips kiss kiss Molly's Lips

kiss kiss Molly's Lips kiss kiss Molly's Lips! what a beautiful song greetings from Argentina!

[gerafblogs]

I like the cover of Nirvana

[preduruiz]

COOL ;D

[splattergore33]

Simply PERFECT !!

[1briggster]

Really areal? i never thought of that. their chord progressions are so simple yet they work.

[arealOpia1991]

Kurt named his child after that woman right there x)))

[MrDragox]

Its better Nirvana's cover

[cpHiJet]

@MrDragox their just different

[doomrocker666]

Haha I was looking forward to the rubber ducky on this song haha VASELINES FTW!

[mollylambliss]

hi molly's here :DD

[GEETER2008]

the vaselines was one of kurts fav bands along with meat puppets and a few others yet the songs done do not match up to the amazing work kurt did but yet still he did borrow a few songs from ppl

[PcmRox182]

I hope when I grow old I'll still keep my cool and will be living my dream just like these guys. They seem like the perfect couple

[stinkyOnion007]

Thumbs up whoever is stil listening to this in 2011.

[whitestripeskid]

@stinkyOnion007 How could you possibly listen to it during any other time? Aren't we in 2011 right now?

[Ztroyer105]

@whitestripeskid I know tired of them stupid sad comments.

[YouthClash]

@stinkyOnion007 all the hipsters are psyched

[stinkyOnion007]

This song is still fantastic :D <3

[spyroninja]

everyone STFU and enjoy the music! that's what it's all about. god.

[TheChacha1993]

please stop arguing and enjoy music okay?;D nirvana covered alot because kurt cobain hatet his one music after his succes and has written over 150 great songs so nirvana isnt a over band just because they have covered maybe 10-15 songs and he would hate people hating the vaselines and the vaselines got alot more attention after kurt has covered a few of their songs so everbody should be happy|| PEACE

[Raulbijou9119]

asi es , nirvana cantó varios covers

[PAULisDEADMANnumber9]

I LOVE the vaselines, but the original album version is better.

[CuteHotChiliPeppers]

@sideburnstijger ...and I'm a girl. I don't think any guy would want my username.

[CuteHotChiliPeppers]

@sideburnstijger I meant that Kurt would've been pissed off that fans of Nirvana were dissing the Vaselines, the people who inspired him. Sorry, I didn't make that clear enough.

[benjaminrichardshoop]

whoah its so so so so shit

[CuteHotChiliPeppers]

@kneegrow8210 I know that.

[CuteHotChiliPeppers]

Wow, you guys are making Nirvana fans look stupid. You know Kurt would've gotten pissed at this, right?

[kneegrow8210]

@CuteHotChiliPeppers Lol its funny and kinda sad.. this is the original song and nirvana did a cover.

[sideburnstijger]

@CuteHotChiliPeppers You are so musically uneducated, Mr.

[KrizzyValo]

boring

[sideburnstijger]

@KrizzyValo Your comment too.

[CarmineTree]

Oh, easy way how to deal with the fact that Nirvanas cover is more popular than original is insulting Kurt and his band... great, you Vaselines fans are not better than Nirvana fanboys.

You know what? This live version is really weak.

[SnoopyKautezky]

THIS SUCKS

[andywarstarforever]

@MARMARR1 You've gotta remember that anybody who can pick up a guitar and make some noise while screaming is involved in some sort of primal therapy. Once called punk rock, now long forgotten... And the kids of today are all discouraged by Satriani and Steve Vai douchebag wanna-be's and American Idol, etc... So let's celebrate the shit, because it brings us around to the gold eventually, hey?

[TheJessmass]

Muito tri essa música!!!

[lumyingluo]

nice^^

[hayn06]

OMG WTF???!! "molly's lips " from Nirvana ?? it is not possible! it is shameful for Nirvana! vaslins sucks !! shitful !!!

[themahermax]

@hayn06 it's they're song not from nirvana ,kurt cobain was a great vaselines's fan , he sang with them in scotland you can watch the video by 910913 right there !!

[wasdanah]

@hayn06 Oh my god. This is so bad for you. A head full of shit. Your head. Dumb and dumber. It's not your fault. It's the world's, society's, your parents'. The accident? That's it. They should shoot the driver.

[whatalifelindsayy]

@hayn06 *shakes head slowly in shame* shhh.

[CheRevolution76]

@hayn06 You're a clown. No words for this kind of stupidity.

[HardcoreHafner]

@hayn06 Hohle Wurst.Rumlabern und von nichts ne Ahnung haben.Depp.

[DarkenedSinner]

@hayn06 Facepalm!

[Jimpan0096]

"this song is called 'Molly Slips'" x3

[Snitfit]

she is soooo cute and such a beautiful voice!

[NorthWriter]

Yay! Another great band from Scotland! So far we've got The Vaselines, Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura, The Soup Dragons, Average White Band, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Mogwai, Primal Scream, Teenage Fanclub, Snow Patrol (sure they're Irish, but they're based in Glasgow now), and Rod Stewart. We're doing pretty good!

[TheMonkfish6]

@NorthWriter Your forgetting Travis and Gun. Thought the soup dragons were mancs??? Im english but like scots music. Welsh and irish just have a undercurrent of shite about them despite sometimes sounding good.

[PoGoTardd]

Not being mean, but this is shit compared to nirvana jus saying

[grungebeatsall]

odd how much of an influence they had on kurt

[anonbeliever1]

How can I put this? I love the song, the original and the Nirvana version. However, this version is crap. Its as if they've thought, ' We wrote it, so we can do an acoustic version and it'll be cool, 'cause we're cool. The reaiity is Nirvana made bands like the Vaselines. They wrote good pop songs but when they come out with this shit its like , come on. Eugene you looked better with your long hair and Francis, Suckle were shit.

[DUCTTAPE1995]

is this the original ?

[sofyaani]

To be honest , they have ruined the song. Sorry!

[Whateverschannel]

@sofyaani it's they're song, kurt covered

[ptanfara]

@sofyaani  its their song dude..

[sofyaani]

To be honest , they have ruined the song. Sorry!

[nirvomind]

Kurt brought me here -

[NAFBA1982]

good music but they should play better guitar after so many years...

[PieceofMindmusic]

suuuch a sweet band <3

Almost got to see them in Seattle but it was 21+ and i my 21st b-day was still a few days away X{

I really looove this duo but i think sort of prefer the Pastels.

also i dont understand why folks keep comparing the originals to the covers Nirvana did on all of these videos, as if they trying to figure out which is better.

i'd say both versions stand on their own as really good ones, it's not necessary to compare which is the better. course thats just an opinion

cheers!

[crash9321]

kurt Cobain was really into the Vaseline's

[JempyHuelSe]

@crash9321 haha sounds like Kurt Cobain was into vaseline ^^ strange :P ;)

[crash9321]

@JempyHuelSe hhhhah

[limpska]

The nirvana version it's better than this original version

[JempyHuelSe]

@limpska nah, it's different, who are we to judge whether something's better than something else, just imagine, hadn't The Vaselines written that song, Nirvana would've never covered it, so who's the genius behind it ?? :) Think then speak

[somethingnotdone]

these guys arent my thing i respect them for thereinfluence on certain rock icons but there just not that good

[kapacon]

@somethingnotdone: Well that's neither here nor they're!

[ivor1977]

We've just called our lil girl Molly an we are always kissing "Mollys Lips!!!"""

[PanfisWater]

@andywarstarforever - I love the vaselines but they clearly aren't a punk band idk wut would make u think that

[woodwheel1]

i take it this is a public radio station

[NOmeansnoFAN]

Curt was as much of a fraud as Courtenay is.

[steish101]

Way to go i enjoy listeing to u two sing this song while am having my morning coffee

[psychosurfer69]

wtf?

[andywarstarforever]

punk rockers are dead people, aren't they? like zombies? these people are clearly alive. these are parents, perhaps? socially responsible people? are not these the punks you described, sir? but they can still play punk music. is this punk music? are you a punk? no. you are nothing, just like the buddha. you are a grain of sand. a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream, and this is a moment in electronic time. or is it?

[LaUgHoUtLoUd4520]

@andywarstarforever easy killa......

[andywarstarforever]

@LaUgHoUtLoUd4520 Vaselines in the studio... That's rad! Still loving Cobain's too.

[spudsisnumber1]

@andywarstarforever you just fucking killed my self esteem

[andywarstarforever]

@spudsisnumber1 from wikipedia - Self-esteem - a term used in psychology to reflect a person's overall evaluation or appraisal of his or her own worth. Self-esteem encompasses beliefs (for example, "I am competent", "I am worthy") and emotions such as triumph, despair, pride and shame -  [in other words, speaking from a place of Identity (I, You, Me, We, They, He, She, etc.) which is the ball & chain that keeps ego motives perpetuating. Question is, where and how shall we direct our ego?]

[spudsisnumber1]

@andywarstarforever Yep, and u directed mine into the ground

[andywarstarforever]

@spudsisnumber1 when somebody comes up from behind and cuts you down, thank them. the ground is your witness. the last shall be first, my friend, and the truth sayers will always be hated. pick up a guitar, bang some drums, make some noise. that is music even if it makes no sense, and let no one dissuade you from what you love, unless you find something you love more.

[spudsisnumber1]

@andywarstarforever Alright then...its all good :D

[HAYDS510]

@andywarstarforever dude i like your stance on music

[Finicks]

@andywarstarforever Fuck....

[mbudnick242]

@andywarstarforever let me get some weed from you

[andywarstarforever]

@mbudnick242 wow, check this video out!!! Kurt is still alive, but he got a sex change! whoah... what a brave soul. what a brave spirit. and thank god they changed their name from Nirvana to Vaselines. that's a better name anyways. god bless america and stuff. rock on

[mbudnick242]

@andywarstarforever my proposition applies even moreso

[andywarstarforever]

@mbudnick242 well i must say... there is lots of good weed in southern Oregon, but i've been this way since childhood. like when me and my sister were in the back seat of the car watching some person come out of the grocery store, and one of us would say "Oh my god! Why's Dad look so weird? He turned into an old man!!!" or other times we'd just pretend he was an angry robot controlled by aliens (not too far off the mark). the weed is just a medicine used for post traumatic stress.

[bestdrummerever1234]

@andywarstarforever ive been a punk rocker for a long time im still alive tho 0_o

[andywarstarforever]

@bestdrummerever1234 right on man. live and let live, i always say. let's have a positive influence on the world and show people the ways of shamen punks and their sacred herbs !

[transistersis]

Just saw them play live & they are so funny onstage She says they have met so many people after every show during this American tour.A lot of them are young new fans who tell her they love the band which is great because then its easier to get them back to her hotel room for sex He calls her a desperate cougar She says hes been flirting&striking out w their opening band The Dum-Dum Girls so he's jealous Their Scottish accents make it even funnier New CD Sex With An X is good too Check out videos

[whangie1]

@transistersis Yeah she's meant to be really perverted, I've heard all the stories!

[pUnKrOcKnINjAgAmEr]

Beautiful song.

[parth010791]

Her accent is strong!

[spenner2786]

man me and my girlfriend love this song just remings me of her and all the good times

[iodars]

Nirvana...

[infocado]

simple n great

[InLoveWithTheWorld]

Nirvana covered it for a reason, they liked and respected the song. I personally don't care for Nirvana's cover, but it's cool that they saw a song that was great and translated it for a different taste.

[diomongolfiera]

simple and beautiful !

[splattergore33]

Excellent song! thanx !

[kexpradio]

@SimppaK91, this "cover"?

[eabrams19]

just wait for the chorus, it is quite blatant

[godbort]

pomplamoose of the 90's

[heeiiii]

@godbort haha just what I thought :P

[Wodey25]

Girl in the green sweater:  WOULD YOU OR WOULDN'T YOU?

[JazminesCobains]

Nirvana's version is better though everyone :D dont hate

[DownWithRyan]

This is surreal.

[DarkenedSinner]

I saw them at Home Coming in Glasgow. Awesome, another great ticked off the list! Plus, she is hot in a geeky, "Hey, she plays guitar and sings kinda way"!

[yobigfatmama99]

WTF is this!? they have done a wonderful way to destroy a nirvana song. Congratulations

[caesaar90]

@yobigfatmama99 this isnt a nirvana song...nirvana covered this song..this is a vaselines song...and one of kurts favorite bands

[Conor3six5]

@yobigfatmama99 It isnt a Nirvana song. Nirvana covered it dude

[ParadoxBaklash]

@yobigfatmama99

you're an idiot.

[eabrams19]

did kurt ever give credit to boston for the riff he stole for smells like teen spirit!

[M4TT853]

@eabrams19 what riff did they steal fucker

[eabrams19]

@M4TT853 more than a feeling by boston

[beauhawk17]

@eabrams19 You mean Dave?

[luistownmassacre]

Wish I could've seen them last year at the troubadour, but their L.A date fell on mother's day. ;(

[punkpasta123]

anyone know the chords for this song?

[shoekstra1419]

the vaselines' songs have always seemed kinda neutral, like they were close to really making something unique but they weren't quite there...

[ludella77]

"I am shy!"

[TheAth3ist]

the chick actually sings, the guy just talks.

[creepske]

stop whinging and like the song its so epic..... i think i love frances lol.

[sillywamosir]

HEY!! KURT CHANGED THE CHORDS!! i just realized that..

[Corvyn]

@sillywamosir i think maybe he was just detuned? im not a guitar expert though

[sillywamosir]

@Corvyn no, i mean the vaselines used 3 chords..nirvana only used 2..that completely changed the tone of the song..

[creepske]

is the male singer here the original one from the record? sorry i have just started getting into the vaselines.. Lovin em!

[griveous7]

if you listen the vaselines,you listen nirvana if you listen nirvana you listen grunge!!

[sillywamosir]

@griveous7 i like grunge music, i like nirvana, i like the vaselines..but the vaselines isn't grunge, they're indie pop band from scotland, some call 'em britpop britpop..yes, they're signed to subpop for their compilation album which featured all their songs, but that don't make them grunge..

[griveous7]

@sillywamosir yeah man i dont say the vaselines is grunge but thanks now i know something new

[ajf68]

@sillywamosir The vaselines were never britpop. Britpop happened about 15 years after the Vaselines split up.

[ricochetfuzzy]

the years havent been good for eugene kelly

[sillywamosir]

@ricochetfuzzy dude, he's old..like krist novoselic old..and not as rich..

[PieceofMindmusic]

aural bliss...

[DrumGuitarDude]

i hate when they sing "kiss kiss mollys lips"

[hugofernanades]

which lips?????lmao great sound

[Reeyanxx4]

this song is beyond amazing. i discovered them after reading cobain's journals. :) so in love!

[Reeyanxx4]

this song is beyond amazing. i discovered them after reading cobain's journals. :) so in love!

[astroboirap]

god, they got old.

[tiewebb]

Every body has to be influenced,and The Vaselines are one of the reasons Kurt got in to music.Pity success got the better of him.I think he just wanted to be an influence himself,not famous.Nevermind.Peace from Scotland to all.

[HentzDude]

Wipers were also one Kurt's and Krists fav band :D

[GeGeMus12]

i need vaseline now

[gabito87]

i thought this was a niervana song

[TheFatjoe248]

@gabito87, they say at the start of the live album it's a vaselines tribute

[cholocharile]

nirvana really, really, liked the vaselines

[blinghurst]

@gabito87 Nirvana covered this song. The Vaselines were Cobain and Noveselic's favorite band.

[guardianlink12345]

@blinghurst :

no, sorry. in interviews Cobain would always insist that the Pixies were his favorite band. He said he connected with them so heavily that he thought he should be in the band. also his jornals say that Raw Power by The Stooges was his favorite album. yeah, he liked the vaselines but i don't if that was his favorite band. by the way, Cobain admitted to practically ripping off the Pixies' sound when he wrote "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

[brokendials]

@gabito87, nope.

[quercus1959]

@gabito87

No, Nirvana was a cover band!

Molly's Lips, Son of a Gun, Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam, Plateau, Oh, Me, Lake of Fire, Here She Comes, Love Buzz, and Where Did You Sleep Last Night are songs from other artists/bands.

[MBnjmn]

@quercus1959 But many of those songs were covered only for the Unplugged performance. But they definately did a ton of covers. 2 Vaseline covers in 1 cd.

[tathjones]

@quercus1959 You're so stupid I'm surprised you managed to operate a keyboard.

[quercus1959]

@tathjones , no i'm play guitar not a keyboard!

[VariedLyrics]

@quercus1959 Yeah, most of them are from the MTV Unplugged live show. If you search up Nirvana songs, they had so many more songs that they didn't include on albums.

NIRVANA AND THE VASELINES <3

[Gloriamagnificens]

Always interesting to see how the artists age.

[bongtoker420]

Her voice is so soothing. like i cant fall asleep to it nicely. heheh in a good way.

[clpton62]

haha you're funny dude

[ogello]

haha i dont know but im giving you a thumbs up for that great comment. 2 more to go for the green light

[RoyVanNistelrooij]

did they forget to bring the squeaky duck that day?

5 stars for old people!

[grasthube]

agree

the squeaky sound makes the difference

[ludella77]

lovable lyrics and interpretation!

[TheDude4077]

wow, eugene got old

[librarianeric]

Where's the squeaky toy duck sound?

It's like taking out the cowbell from "Don't Fear the Reaper"!

[kurtcobainfan4life]

God I love the Vaselines I got "Enter The Vaselines" Album for Christmas today! YAY

[3440186]

[KurtCobain11508]

I looked up this band after hearing Nirvana perform their songs, now I can't stop listening to the Vaselines...this is indescribable.

[jamierourketen]

@KurtCobain11508 the got a brand new album out right now! just watched listened on you tube! type in ..i hate the 80s!

[bagrat22]

Kurt adored this band. Enough said.

[chapnite]

kis kis mollys lips ,kiss kiss mollys lips

[DreathDragont]

Not close to best musical performance I have heard. I still enjoyed it.

[closetome]

her voice is magic

[dub1423]

Nice! They appreciate Nirvana just as much as Nirvana appreciated them.
