  • @MrArkolomew STFU n Press the Play Button !

  • this is exactly what a cover is supposed to be keeping the original song intact while adding the bands own taste

  • I ain't hatin' on this version. If any band with a female lead singer had to make a cover of Nirvana, it would have to be Evanescence. (That or One-Eyed Dool, but that's not the point!)

  • I love this cover of a classic

  • this song got me threw a really hard place in my life.i love this version

  • kurt woud be proud. as for you people dissing the cover i do believe kurt would not be proud.....OF YOU!!

  • YES! My favorite band covering my second favorite band<333

  • Creo que la versión de Nirvana es mejor porque suena más oscura, por la forma de tocar y la voz de Kurt, pero aun así me gusta esta también :)

  • First miley cyrus then this... Nirvana is not being reached anymore

  • I liked it Alot Amy has a great voice but no one will ever sound better the kurt

  • I'm not a big Evanescence fan, and I still think Nirvana's version of this song is better (cos Kurt Cobain had this amazing/sad power in his voice) but I do really like this cover.

  • The fucking hell is with the dislikes?

  • i couldnt have picked anyone better to do this cover <3 nor would i have wanted anyone to !

  • Kurt's version sounds (as usual) more apathetic/suffering, Amy Lee's version feels more lonesome/mourning. Consistent with all of their music/styles; they both have plenty of emotion and hard experiences, trust me. :)

  • this is a great attempt but im sorry nothing will ever compare to the original and the passion in which kurt sing it

  • i love u Amy

  • I like evanescence but he shouldn't be coverin nirvana . Kurt cobains voice wasn't perfect and her cover has no imperfections I don't like it one bit probably because I'm such a die hard nirvana fan but u don't over a legend unless u know what ur doin

  • guys , i can say that this is a great performing!!! well done to evanescence..

  • can anyone describe me this song please ??

    i just need to understand it :\ the meanings !!

  • @amy17711

    Google -_-. ?

  • It's not the same without the Cobain's biting sarcasm...

  • This person has too well-developed of a voice to cover Nirvana. Not bad, just different.

  • I still think Nirvana is better... it's an okay cover but it think when Nirvana sings it it has more emotion...But i have nothing against Evanscence! :)

  • where can i download the song?

  • Some parts of this cover were pretty good others....not so much. I have nothing against Amy Lee, or Evanescence in genral. They are my favorite band.

  • good job Amy Lee

  • @Ultrafire98 He sort of is right, only should lower his cannibalistic anger.

  • Obviously people who like this covers are either evanescence fans, or just compare this to miley's cover and then well it is good. The truth is this is a horrible cover. Lacks the emotion NIrvana put into it. I dont have anything against the fact that a chick is singing. I liked Eyes Set To Kill's polly cover. And If you really want to listen to a good cover listen to corey taylor cover lithium or joseph gordon levit covering the same.

  • @manbot2010 No cover beat the original song. All covers suck mega huge ass then.

  • @manbot2010 I'm not a evanescence fan nor have I heard Miley's cover (thank god) I'm a Nirvana fan through and through and she did a fucking AMAZING job. You're right it lacks emotion, that will be because Amy Lee didn't write the song and didn't experience the things Kurt did that spawned him to write it. I think you hate it because you don't like her. and to be honest who cares, your opinion doesn't make it a bad cover. And JGL did a cover? Now i wanna kill myself.

  • @l4dyvenge4nce Well, you got me - I don't like Evanescence. Here - she sounds like she's whining. And that's so annoying when you're listening to music. It doesn't matter if JGL is a guitar legend or not, he played the power chords right, he had emotion when he was singing. I'm not a Stone Sour fan, yet I think Corey did a good job, and your attempt at hyperbolic humour is immature.

  • @Ultrafire98 dude calm down LOOOOOL.

  • (Evanescence covers Heart-Shaped Box)

    Kurt Cobain (in heaven or hell, but of course, probably in heaven): Finally a good cover! What else is on? Might be some other good covers.

    (Suddenly sees Miley Cyrus' version of Smells Like Teen Spirit)

    Kurt Cobain: God, kill me now! Oh wait, I'm already dead, well, I'll just add that cover to my list of covers that I want to fuck off and die.

  • @beLIEveraliveMJ Gunning for thumbs ups, eh?

  • @manbot2010 nah, i just felt kurt would probably say that.

  • @Ultrafire98 you have your opionon and we all have our others you dont like amy lee then dont listen to her that plain and fucking simple shes not fucking with nirvana she did a cover of there song that as no means as shes fucking with them. Secondly Kurt Cobain would be proud that she covered of his song so fuck off Peace!

  • @nikkisams13 Ahh, You should read your comment in 5 years.

  • So seductive and dark! Love you Amy :)

  • This is an EPIC ass cover. x)

  • odio que cuando una canción es simple pero buena la arruinen con covers exagerando la voz.

  • Me: I wanna hear 'Heart Shaped Box - Nirvana' :D

    (in the options: heart shaped box - evancscence)

    Me: zcyuifvsiegvseirhfoasvdb;osefb­ejbfvojsefivsebvsdi (HEAR NOW!)

    True story

  • nem se compara a nirvana

  • Kurt would be proud.

  • @Violetdoll16 Lol! No he wouldn't.

  • Comment removed

  • eh i dont like it maybe cause im a hardcore Nirvana/Kurt fanatic he does it in a way no one else ever can! Sorry Amy Lee i love u too but not as much as Kurt Cobain!

  • Comment removed

  • y can i not find this on itunes?

    

  • @iBlingYoFace Cause this is just a live version.

  • Beautiful cover!!:):):)

    

  • The goal of a "cover" was never meant to be better than the original,but this is still a good cover,really loved the verses,& the chorus was pretty good

  • now this is what i call a cover!!! :) beautiful.

  • Kurt Cobain used "paper flower" poppies in Heart Shaped Box music vid, which is Joe Elliott of Def Leppard's birth flower. This is where the pseudonym Poppy Z-Brite who wrote Courtney Love's bio came from. The paper flowers were from the song "Imaginary" which I wrote and performed by Evanescence. When I met Kurt in May '83 he was on roadcrew for Def Leppard's Rock Till You Drop Tour promoting Pyromania. Def Lep had been opening for Billy Squier which ended in Seattle & Oregon in April '83

  • Qué asco de versión

  • Kurt is a mass blow hole AMY LEE FTW she blew this song away and i could almost best Kurt would bow down to her for this

  • @mitchel3DG you are an idiot.

  • @deafchurchrvb1 I may be an idiot. But atleast I'm not a cocksucker... Its ok tho I'm sure your parents already know

  • @mitchel3DG my parents know you dont suck cocks? how would they know that...?

  • @deafchurchrvb1 If you were a big boy you would understnad the joke but being the fact your probably 12 i wouldnt expect you to get it i was getting to the fact your a cocksucker and a dumbass for not getting what i said but thats ok im sure someone has some more windows for you to lick might want to go get your helmet on and try and troll someone else.. Im done with this conversation..

  • @mitchel3DG i understood the comment that you made and the fact that you type a paragraph explaining how i am a special needs person and that im "12" proves you are an idiot. kthxbai

  • i gotta say i a HUGE nirvana fan but all the covers they have done have been good.......really good.

  • Now this is what I call a cover! Wouldn't you agree it's better than our lovely Miley's cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"?

  • @Aragalinna What!!!!!!!!

    Miley Cyrus did a cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit????

    Am I reading this right???

  • @Aragalinna WE DO NOT SPEAK OF THAT!!!

  • @Aragalinna I was blissfully unaware of that heresy until I read your comment. A part of me just died.

  • @Aragalinna are u f.ing kidding us? miley cyrus doesnt even have voice to sing nirvana! BURN THIS WITCH!

  • @Aragalinna miley as in hannah montana

  • @Aragalinna wouldn´t say better :p

  • No solo caga el tema, sino que caga también su dignidad

  • All i have to say , its good , but i still like Nirvana's version better .

  • And let's be honest here, kidos, her singing is sub-par. She'd loose first round on X-Factor. She misses many of her notes with a slightly off frequency (or searches for them mid-note) and she doesn't use the tricks to enunciate words in music like a well trained artist would. A perfect example would be Alanis Morissette, who, at the beginning of her career, was also self admittedly untrained. But I'll admit that she's had a little more practice since their first album came out. it SUCKED.

  • Okay listen up, turds.

    Look, I don't give a crap about Cobain. Sure, this group has talent, but to be successful you have to compete with the very best. I'm afraid that they're a "B Movie" (like Nightwish) in a sea of smash hit 5 star flicks. They had one OK song and then blew away like a tumbleweed. It's not being mean. It's just life. But go on and like what you like. Don't let anyone stop you. I'm just stating the facts. It is how it is, they just can't play with the big boys.

  • Awesome cover !

  • esta version no esta tan mala como las versiones de "Smell Like Teen Spirit" de TAKE THAT y MILEY CYRUS

  • Good cover! :)

  • Yes we all get it, Nirvana is better BUT!

    This is a beautiful cover. Every artist knows when you cover someone elses work the original will always be 1#.

    Amy Lee's vocals mixed with these deep lyrics are really powerful, but it will always stay a Nirvana classic.

  • Is nothing sacred?

  • I love the original (obviously) but i also like this one, I love her voice for this song, unlike Flyleafs cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit -.- I'd choose this over Flyleaf anyday

  • i love her voice.

    But i'm a Nirvana fan, and i don't like this

  • LPMQLP!!! se pueden atrever a mas???

  • Kurt would be so embarrassed.

  • I really like to this version and accept myself even though it lacks a little is better than the cover that drew Miley Sirus and take that.

    a mi me gusto muchisimo esta version y acepto aunque le falte un poco es mejor que los cover que sacaron miley sirus y take that.

  • @SeanO'Reilly 10-31-11 Sorry, I spelled last name wrong at post below.

    [ :O" What happened to the phrase " i before e ...except AFTER c"?? ] I sent your vid of Nirvana to 8 different people (Bands) including 3 TV shows.

    You blow this AMY away with your version on piano from 10-7-09!! The lyrics posted were of interest...but vocally AMY didn't 'cut this.'  YOU DID! KURT is smiling down on you while he plays his HEAVENpalooza with LENNON, HARRISON, JIMI HENDRIX, & All the Greats! PEACE

  • 10-31-11Sorry..but SEAN O'RIEILLY's version is far better than AMY of Evanescence. Amy is good with her own hits. This wasn't that great vocally.

    THE LYRICS provided ..however, NOW I know what the hell KURT was Screaming all those yrs.! Some of the Lyrics are hard to read. Other than that, well done. AMY shouldn't do covers of NIRVANA who is so famous, unless she

    can 'Kill It.' SEAN has VISION on piano. Check it out. I sent SEAN's vids to my friends the FF's, 3 TV SHOWS,&BILLY SHEEHAN

  • @TheFOOfighterFREAK 10-31-11 Sorry...I spelled SEANs last name wrong. It's O'REILLY. He's truely gifted & Classically trained. Sean puts a different Spin on the song with piano & his vocal style.

  • you know wat ppl? Amy lee is an amazing singer and she sounds just as amazing as when she sings other songs. stop saying that the song is "terrible" or watever you say because its amazing. purely amazing. in other words, SHUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • no compite con el cover de mylie cyrus, pero por ahi va..... dios que kurt deberia levantarse de su tumba y patearle el culo aesta disque cantantes por cagar su musica...

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    

  • @porkoskateboards :O" DITTO"

  • Apestaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaa, que triste que acaben con una cancion tan buena, no deberian hacer covers de este tipo de canciones volviendolas acusticas.

  • @inginscontrol wn!!! es un estupides lo ke dijiste!!!! si deverian!!!! cada uno deve interpretar las canciones a su gusto! mientras se respete las progresiones de acordesy la letra!!!!!

  • @abuhola8 querras decir es UNA estupideZ, No digo que Amy Lee cante mal solo que hay bandas que merecen respeto y en vez de honrarlos lo que hacen es destruir las canciones originales, aparte los dueños de los derechos de las canciones de Nirvana necesitan hacer un filtro con quien hace los covers de sus canciones, porque para la muestra un boton Mylie Cyrus.

  • la version es muy poco creativa y sin onda...pero bueno el tema tampoco es una obra maestra. es solo un buen tema y nada mas. Y si dependiera de mi de elegir a evanescence o nirvana...no me qdo con ninguna.

  • estuve leyendo el articulo de msn...es el 3er tema que escucho de esa lista....y realmente me puso mal esto....decidi que este es el ultimo tema que escucho (y por la mitad), de esa lista por el bien de mi salud.....que ganas de hacer cagadas que tienen estos tipos con tal de vender....son caretas!....que se mueran!....

  • @sebatravel jajaja...yo tambien estaba viendo msn, opino lo mismo, lo que pasa es que los "artistas" de hoy, tienen miedo o talvez pereza o simplemente no les gusta crear. Cualquiera diria q hacer la letra de una cancion es cuestion de quinceañeras, pero crearla realmente, es todo un proceso, solo para genios, como para q alguien venga y dañe algo como esto. EVANESCENCE : FAIL!!

  • @sebatravel jajajajjaja chabon. estamos en la misma. igual, yo sigo viendo, xq quiero ver si siguen siendo solo de nirvana, mi banda favorita. igual, asesisan temas. ademas bandas buenas, como esta mina q tiene temas de puta madre. saludos!!

  • I think is nice!!! =) It's not the same band style but Amy has a very beautiful voice!!!

  • MUGRIENTA ASPETOSAAA!! VOS Y TU BANDA DE MIERDA!! JUNTO A LA TROLA DE MILEY CYRUS Y TAKE THAT, APESTAN A BACALAOOOO!!

  • @C0kish0 se nota que tambien estabas leyendo el articulo de MSN.. jejeje

  • @Cargltin jajaja si, la verdad que me puso un tanto mal..a Cobain le costó mucho hacer esos temas y para qué? para que estos idiotas con un poco de popularidad de la musica mediocre que hacen, se atrevan a lo abeerante que hicieron

  • @C0kish0 hey por dios vamos a respetar un poco youtube no es la basura de facebook y twitter, los covers no son para vender es solamente para mostrar otra faceta de los artistas y lo siento pero kurt nunca podria tener la voz tan espectacular que tiene amy y como no llegaste al final no puedes ver lo majestuosa version que esy aclaro yo tambien lei el articulo de msn.

  • @kevinbetomms no discuto la voz que tenga Amy..no me desagrada, pero para hacer covers, hacelos bien o no los hagas, no podes "acustizar" un tema como heart shapped box, que ni siquiera Nirvana lo hizo acístico..no pega la vos, no va la onda ni mucho menos queda bien lo que hizo..cuestion de gustos solamente. Saludos.-

  • @kevinbetomms No estoy de acuerdo, los covers son para atraer al público de otra banda sin necesariamente tener que crear nada nuevo. Si no fuera para vender, lo seguirían haciendo en la ducha como el resto del mundo, y asi nos evitarian el tedio de exponernos a nefastas reinterpretaciones como esta que ni siquiera tiene el matiz cómico que solía darle Kurt a sus covers. btw_Yo lo siento por los que te rodean si te tienen que escuchar comparando a Lee con Cobain (_ _)

  • fuck evanescense!!

    Nirvana rules!!!

    

  • Pesimooooooooo! Si queres hacer un cover asi acustico cambia la melodia de voz mogolicaaaaaaaa

  • no se pero prefiero a nirvana

    i don't know but i prefer NIRVANA

  • mierda parece una cancion de cuna pobre kurt lo estan matando por segunda vez o kizas peor agoniza en este momentoo !! ..paren con sus estupidos covers ke no llegan a la altura !!

  • HORRIBLE!!!

  • @MultiFlaco1986 Like your mom?

  • es le mas decente que e escuchado...pero igual no me sigue gustando...saludos¡¡

  • Es un buen cover, en msn dicen que arruino la cancion, yo creo que es genial

  • @Rockdolphin77 viejo bromeas con estos terribles cover van a matar lo que queda del espiritu de nirvana( vlovieron esta cancion una mamonada del porte de un buque) si Kurt viera esto se volveria a suicidar

  • @dracont11 y qe decir del cober qe izo miley cyrus

    qe puff casi me mueroo

  • @lostintherainXx this song is actually really sad and dark because he's talking about suicide in a way that people dont notice listen to the lyrics and you'll hear what i'm talking about

  • i LOVE nirvana! i prefer the nirvana version, but this is also awesome :)

  • Evanescence+Nirvana=Awesome

  • As a real Nirvana fan...I must say that this is a good cover.Well Done Evanescence!

  • So beautiful... Makes me want to cry...I gain another sence of meaning

  • Please stop saying u like the original version better. either say u like it or not, then move on

  • Good cover, but Nirvana ftw <3

  • Pretty good, but I like the original better.

  • It's not...bad. You can't really do a GREAT cover of nirvana because the original will ALWAYS blow you out of the water, and the way she plays this is rather hesitant, so it does not quite pan out as well. All in all, they don't do as badly as some and do much better than most.

  • It's their interpretation....it's obviously not gonna be everyones thing but i quite like it anyway.

  • The real Amy Lee was discovered by Joe Elliott of Def Leppard along with unknown Kurt Cobain in '83 at age 15. Not only does the lead singer use her name, but Amy Lynn for Pres Jimmy Carter's daughter. Kurt's friend Kathleen Hanna's band Amy Carter. Singers mother for Sara Lee Bakery and John for John Mutt Lange who produced Pyromania. Heart Shaped Box came from character Blanche in A Street Car Named Desire with a seahorse pin. This is why Kurt drew a searhorse. & Amy is from the South

  • @Boddahism you're sick!

  • Kurt would be proud! Amy loves Nirvana! And besdies, Nirvana are hard rock/grundge while Evanescence are gothic rock. They are both ROCK bands, but different types, yet both awesome. Amy wasn't trying to sing like Kurt. She isn't copying him.

  • she's alive.... and not kurt cobain ..... silly try ..

  • I really don't like this at all. I mean, Amy's very talented, but this is just terrible.

  • horrible. kurt cobain fidgeting in the coffin

  • i like this 10x better than the original

  • I love Amy Lee.

    Kurt Cobain. Na zawsze w moim sercu i myślach.

  • Gosh I love Amy Lee :) She cant replace Kurt Cobain by any means but she did a good job :)

  • did anyone else find it weird it ended with her butt?

  • Guys this may not be Kurt, but jesus, STOP BEING RUDE.It doesn't have to Be Kurt for it to be good.

  • This is horrible man.

  • this is BULLSHIT!!! where's the powerful voice of Kurt??? please stop butchering some great songs like this!!!

  • @JAZ3289 shut up.

  • @JAZ3289

    "where's the powerful voice of Kurt???"

    It was probably in his voice box. If a woman had his voice, that would just be strange.

  • Not bad.. but never can compare to the original, but thats wat a cover is for:)

  • Irony is a helluva thing.

    I may not know the man inside-out, but if there's one thing I'm sure of about Kurt, it's that he hated macho, tough-guy bullshit. And a look through the comments of here of people claiming to be his fans...well....judge for yourself, I guess.

    This is good, even though I prefer Nirvana's version by default. But watching people make fools of themselves by promoting the same musical purism that Cobain himself rebelled against is pretty damn funny.

  • @MrJimmyNapoleon SO WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! luckily there are still smart people in this world O_O

  • @MrJimmyNapoleon always the original is the better. but noone says that kurt cobain is bad or something. i really love amy lees voice. she is the best of her kind and never had to prove she had a great voice. she's just singing a great song. enjoy it guys.... different is not always bad. and however music must be listened from everyone not just for some people.

  • He also hated sell outs and would therefor hate Evanescence.

  • ~ i am awesome. :3

  • i know that no one is so fucking dope as kurt was but guys, get real, cover is an attempt of making original the best as you can, maybe her voice is not perfect to this song but thats their version and we can just say we enjoy or not but we cant say its insulting Nirvana...

  • nice cover, but i like more the original version

  • this is a great cover!!! amy lee never fails<3

  • eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

  • It isn't as good as original (but what can be good as original?) but it's an awesome cover

  • Thumbs up it you like both bands and you like both versions of the song

  • ES UNA PUTA MIERDA NO ESTE GRUPO DE MIERDA NO TIENE NADA QUE VER CON EL DUEÑO DE ESTA CANCION ... KURT COBAIN SI EL ESTUBIESE VIVO AHORA OS MATARIA HIJOS DE PUTA

  • @raiyiyu9878 no lo mame

  • @raiyiyu9878 Shut the hell up -_-

  • Sum parts are gd but others she sux at in the song

  • I love this cover!

    Of course, she's not Kurt Cobain, she's Amy Lee. And a cover is your interpretation of a song performed. So it's not going to be the same.

    So people, just shut up and enjoy the music. And if you don't enjoy it, don't listen to it.

  • Why do people even argue 'bout that? I mean, yeah, maybe Kurt's version is better, but it's THE FUCKIN' ORIGINAL! You can't compare them, so stop bitching about how this version sucks. My two favorite bands are(Who guess'd it?) Evanescence and Nirvana, and it's awesome to hear something like this. There are WAY worse covers of Nirvana songs than this.

  • you guys dont need to agrue i like both this song proformed by nirvana and covered by EV equally

  • Jesus everyone, SHUT UP about saying how much this sucks compared to the original. I love this song, and of course Kurt's version is better but you can't really compare the 2...This is a COVER. she is not trying to be him, she is being herself and she has an amazing voice. When I do this song, I sound like this version, not Kurt's version. 1 she is not Kurt, 2 she is not even a man.so she isn't going to sound like him. Stop trying to compare, and just enjoy! Geeze pull the stick out of your ass.

  • what is the song about?

  • “LISTEN TO THE RAIN” as it pours “ALL THAT I’M LIVING FOR” is for you to “CALL ME WHEN YOU’RE SOBER” I think “MY HEART IS BROKEN” it’s like I’m “IMAGINARY.” And don’t exist I think I’m “GOING UNDER” so close to “THE END” as I take “MY LAST BREATHE” I “SURRENDER” then I find the “SECRET DOOR” but “EVEN IN DEATH” you “BRING ME TO LIFE” now I have “YOUR LOVE” we’re “LOST IN PARADISE”

  • @sandstorm1416 nice

  • @snoweatsbabies Thank you :D i see people do this all the time and i decided to make my own :)

  • People should stop saying "she ruined it" or "It's not as good as the original. She is not Kurt, she is Amy. That means when someone does a COVER it is just that, a cover! They have their own spin on it, and she has hers which I find very good. Both are good in their own way. It's not as good as the original because it is NOT the original and not only is she not Kurt, but she also isn't a man so she isn't going to sound anywhere like him. She is is awesome, and they aren't comparable.

  • Man y does everybody use the bring me to life video

  • @sparklinggrey1 I'm not saying she's copying him, I love Evanescence,in fact, my immortal is one of my favorites songs ever. I'm just saying I prefer the original version, C'mon Kurt Cobain is incomparable.

  • Comment removed

  • @sally, i wanted to go, i even purchased a ticket for the oct11 show. as it turns, i'll still be on my way back from another event. if that was you amy, 1) you'll need to get another ghost account and 2) i guess i am not the man on the silver mountain. i hope your voice cracks before the sound equipment does. i'll take a raincheck for another day.

  • I love Evanescence. I think Amy Lee has an amazing voice. I think Heart Shaped Box is an amazing song, and Nirvana is the best freakin band to ever walk the planet. But... Amy's level of emotion in this song doesn't even begin to compare to the emotion Kurt put into every performance.
