[helmmaodemartelo]

wtf? 0:23 õ_o

[anonymous2dotO]

god this song proves it more than anything else on the web. Newt Gingrich is the only hope for america left!

[kobe4270]

no offense to nirvana but i think there bad live

[schijtbak69]

@kobe4270 I think this isn't good either, but listen to "where did you sleep last night" and you can't find a better song..

[heilwences]

masterpiece



[Theantiman96]

i want tabs for this solo

[1212MrTomb]

anyone know what pickup he has in the bridge at the start?

[daniela21698]

Nirvana.. byli užasní! a Dave to ted rozjíždí někde v Foo Fighters! dík za ně..

[itdoesntmatterxxx]

But how is threr in the middle danceing?

[Fiakosorio]

0:27 Krist : "Oh no, Kurt did it again"

[123legodude]

at least i was boren a few months before Kurt offed himself... R.I.P. Kurt Cobain...

[rkomp09]

I like Nirvana as much as the net man but fuck they were horrible live!

[RealMusicWillLiveOn]

@rkomp09 This is so powerful. How can you say they were horrible live?!

[To1letR0ll]

@rkomp09 You are an idiot for 2 reasons.

Firstly, this entire set is legendary in showing just what grunge was to the world; a big fuck you. Nirvana didn't play to please you.

Secondly, watch any video from their Unplugged show and you'll see that actually, they were technically great live...

[lucio97061]

isso gue  e banda nao essas porcarias

[theantomate1]

guy dancing on stage for president?

[adamhart85]

Hollywood Alive by Adam Hartmann

[robertawywy]

His voice warms me and gives me strength.

[777coolest777]

holy shit his TURBO DISTORTION is better than mine!!!! shit...i wish i was the guitarist...

[Tommmieboy]

You've gotta love Tony The Interpretive Dancer.

[MrEchoFahrenheit]

Why did he have to die he was amazing, well at least we still have Dave Grohl singing for the Foo Fighters

[DGrant1010]

Was 5 when Kurt died. I remember things from when I was 4. Why the FUCK did I not go to a Nirvana concert when I was 4?

[Levvandos]

I was born 2 weeks after Kobain dead :/

[wilbo26]

@Levvandos

Don't worry, radio was saturated with garbage even when he was around. Not even Nirvana could fully slay big money pop.

[xavmanify]

@wilbo26 Pretty sure this is sort of big money pop? Nevermind went 30x platinum for gods sake! It wasn't even on an alternative label really, same label that produced some beatles albums! This is big money punk at it's very best.

[SuperBspb]

@wilbo26 Yeah but there is a bigger lack of good rock bands now, the only ones I can think of are Queens of the Stone Age and the Black Keys. There were a ton of good bands back then.

[RupeeLord]

HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

...

 Kurt's left-handed.

[nirvanaisdeshit]

i hate how i was born in the year he died

[Grafnintineseven]

Parlo da bassista. Novoselic è penoso.

[bialaravez]

1994 : the worst year of all. Kurt dies and Justin Bieber is born ):

[exorder2005]

@bialaravez Indeed -_-

[TELAFREAK10121122334]

@bialaravez Well Jimmy eat world was made...

No wait... That was 1993... Nope, you are completely right!

[9t9t3]

@bialaravez dont you dare mention that fuckhole on the same page as cobain!

[bialaravez]

@9t9t3 we need to face the facts, dude. ://

[pojo205]

@bialaravez

I think that makes Justin Bieber the antichrist. Born to corrupt peoples minds of what good music really is.

[Santojo95]

Man they're great on studio and sucked hard live.

[TheWackymachine]

@Santojo95 Kurt is sucking on purpose, just in case you didn't noticed xD

[iisabelt]

who's the dancing guy in the middle?

[MsMichael1995]

best solo ever :D

its bad but they dont give a fucking shit .

i like it

[kraniumofficial]

EVERYONE LISTEN UP

descent Music Listeners, you rok

On 24th DECEMBER we will all be visiting Justin Biebers "One Time" video

which has over 160 million views.

On that day everyone must flag, leave a negative comment and dislike the video.

Help us destroy this modern autotune music that has ruled the world. The goal is to make the dislike bar bigger than the like bar.

Copy and paste this to good vids:ANYTHING GOOD! Thumbs this up so everyone can see this

[Spavadge]

@kraniumofficial Fuck Justin Biebier. I won't take my time visiting his videos. This whole "Hate Bieber" has become a new "game for youngers". Some of people like him (mostly kids), but I won't be fucking them just because I don't like it. There is Nirvana live video and it all that matters now. Stop shitting there with comments like "fuck justin bieber", "dislike his every video" and so on. Cheers from Poland:)

[thepurplehearts]

it is a kind a legend

[xtremewayne]

[mitchell337]

@BistkitEatingBulldog im pretty sure Kurt messed up on purpose, i would too if i had to play this song constantly cause it's all the crowd wanted to hear...

[MultiTrollHunter]

[HaloLoquendero47]

[dodonjax]

@willzohye if you mean on dancer, it's a tony hodgkinson

[Hermes3011]

Krist is smiling when Kurt makes a mistake in the debut of the song :)

[simmy3000]

@Hermes3011 yeah that was done on purpose, they hated playing it so he was taking the piss

[tincanspaceman]

@simmy3000 They or just Kurt?

[Logophilic]

@JaySkret There's an old blues guitarist by the name of Roy Buchanan who did that exact same thing. There's a statement that can be made by playing a wrong note. Sometimes the right note is in the wrong key.

[skyestheword]

it makes me sad inside that he died the year i was born i never got a chance to see this amazing band live

[Ihashugecock]

ledgend

[JaySkret]

you think cobain isn't a great gutiarist because he purposely makes it sound worse than anyone else's as in being fast paced thrown together really loud... other solos you hear ntoes and it goes in perfect harmony... but... the shittier he made it sound.. the better it really does to the public.. so i do think he is one of the best guitarist.. who else do you know that can make something that guitarists conisder shitty to sound amazing?

[owen12376]

I would have given anythin 2 see them live but unfortunatly i was only 1 years old when this was on

[chica10987654321]

DAMN.That haroine must make you pretty damn drousy Kurt. Lesson for all,"don't do haroine and pot before preforming a song live." but o well,it was still good music,and still is.My fav

[findgreatnewmusic]

@chica10987654321 - DAMN, you know when you were a kid and you asked your parents how to spell something and they said, "sound it out"? ya, stop doing that. use a dictionary.

[chica10987654321]

@findgreatnewmusic lol,i am an awful speller and i dont feel like using a dictionary :P

[MrPhsychedelea]

[cheesymate]

@MrPhsychedelea what does 'son6' and 'dose' mean

[MrEnzoski]

KURT CRAZY GUITARIS!



[crazepure]

kurt is a legend because of his playing style. he didnt want to be like others, like heavy metal bands with their fast fingered shredders. thats why he was and is a legend! R.I.P Kurt Cobain WE LOVE NIRVANA!!!!

[yungblaze978]

got to love how he messes up on purpose he is fucking awesome man

[whirygig]

GRUNGE is a joke of a name. it was just a label that the media stuck on certain bands, so all you people calling Nirvana GRUNGE, Nirvana is PUNK with distortion

[cbfdxbxsb]

@whirygig grunge is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay different to punk dude

[lolypop354]

IS THE BEST CONCERT OF NIRVANA IN READING??

[longlivelaura]

i am soooo so glad they hav amazing performances like this captured and its really good quality!:D nirvana forever

[evilradist]

I think music is (at first) must be from your soul, from your heart... Skills are not the first things you need!!!!!!!!!

[Imbriumofxanth]

PUNKS NOT DEAD!!!! all you haters need to go eat my meat!

[marcio2492]

if it was not by butch vig this band would not sell a record

[NuggetPumpkin]

@marcio2492 i think it had more to do with andy wallace's mix.

[SuperRARRR]

hahaha, random on the stage ;)

[manuelzzzz4444]

a denial (9)

[crash9321]

does he have a hot rails pick up?

[FLIPP3DnTRIPP3D]

Did he mess up at 0:22? or did he mean to do that

RIP Kurt <3

[mussefele]

@FLIPP3DnTRIPP3D I think he messed up. or ells he did it because he hated smells like team spirit. sorry for bad english im danish ;)

[insidethehive]

oh god,this is a classic song,but dear god they have ruined their own song!

kurt looks soooo wasted!

[rushmaniac15]

@jabbaish really thats so fucken awesome.I like abba to i dont know why i said that lol in my coment

[discokidx1]

i like Abba.....and Nirvana

[01AlanBennett]

@discokidx1 personally i don't like Abba but why shouldn't you? They both write very good simple pop songs

[AlivePhoenix]

this is one of the songs...where i actually prefere the recording. horrible solo and terrible vocal performence there

[rushmaniac15]

@frdfinger fuck u man u no nothing about music. When all of us are listening to goo music your probaly listening to abba and justin beiber. u no how u said nirvana is a waist of oxygen, ur coment is a waste of youtube. fuck you and listen to good music

[JABBAish]

@rushmaniac15 Infact, kurt cobain was said to be a fan of Abba.

[atomiktom]

@rushmaniac15

Learn to write before insulting someone

" a waist of oxygen" How funny is that

[frdfingers]

Voice is perfect you say??? Awesome????? OMG!!! Are you taking the same drugs he is or something?? I have been trying to keep and open mind and listen to as many songs by this group as possible, simply because someone suggested them to me...all I hear is a drunk(or drugged)guy yelling alot, and slurring his words like some kind of drunk dude laying on a floor of a bar and waiting to be kicked out....this group is a waste of oxygen!

[KRAZYSTEVE465]

@frdfingers Fuck you! What the fuck are you talking about!? What songs have you listened to? What about Here She Comes Now, Clean up Before She Comes, In Bloom, Rape Me, Love Buzz, Come as You Are, any song off a Bleach? This is fucking amazing music, better than that 303 and Killers and silversun pickup shit that you probably listen to! You need to get your ears checked.

[XXXgrimloveXXX]

@frdfingers I hate you with every inch of my soul

[thelessworld]

this voice is utterly fuckin awesome.. perfect

[Vitali97]

wow how the hell is this even considered music...the only reason that magazines put Kobain in the top 10 singers of all time is because he is dead...because I can name at least 50 guys that have a better range and actually sing rock, not this grunge shit that is just screaming and never on key...TERRIBLE

[pyrodog783]

@Vitali97 wow how the hell is this even considered a legit comment...the only reason that faggot-ass little kids get on youtube to trash talk videos they don't like is because they don't have lives...because I can name at least 50 guys that have shoved their dicks in your ass... TERRIBLE

[Vitali97]

@pyrodog783 hahah KID? you are terribly mistaken...and the whole dick comment is comical because when people really have nothing to say but they are pissed off and want to mouth off to someone they make gay references, maybe you are hiding something to your hillbilly parents that you should tell them. It's the guys who are most insecure that make gay references because really their intelligence isn't capable of making a legit insult...so nice job but in the end like Kurt Cocaines like you FAIL.

[MuayThaiViking]

@Vitali97 i think the streamlined, polished rock like, say Nickelback, has absolutely no emotions or power at all. ''having a better range'' means nothing. Nevermind has sold 26 million copies for a reason, and no not because of his suicide. they were #1 on US billboard (or whatever its called), knocking off michael jackson

you simply have an alternative opinion about rock

[Vitali97]

@MuayThaiViking I agree with you on the nickelback stuff because I can't stand them, I dont even like much alternative rock, what I dont like is that cobain gets all this praise like being named 7th on the number one frontmen when really he has an average voice at best and he never had the chemistry with the crowd like the guys he beat out...my point is I believe the group was overrated because they brought in this new type of crowd but honestly you can't compare him vocally

[Vitali97]

@MuayThaiViking as say axl rose or steven tyler or robert plant...these guys were the voices of rock and roll and yet somehow people think that cobain musically is better then these guys and thats all my point is.

[Vitali97]

@MuayThaiViking but also getting back to the numer one billboard thing, yeah when they came on they were strong, I am talking to him as a vocalist and front man...and yes range does mean something, that means I could speak in a microphone and if I have a nice voice I could be successful...also they came in around 91-92 and you realise that a big part of MJ's downfall at that time was the fact that he was in the media about a molestation scandal so he was dropped by a lot of media

[airbob11]

kurt's voice rocks harder than anyone out there, and his "screaming" is very much on key and he does it better than anyone I've heard..and a lot have tried to match him. That's like saying that twist and shout or helter skelter by the beatles are just screaming..and for a group to have six awesome singles in two releases, plus songs from bleach that got popular later, is pretty fucking impressive..and range? are you serious? he can go from singing low to belting high effortlessly@Vitali97

[iowaguitarshred]

@airbob11 He was a decent vocalist and brilliant lyricist but jesus christ his guitar playing was fucking horrible. I used to get a huge headache whenever I saw those "top 100 guitarists' list in guitar world and his shitty (mediocre at best) guitar playing would be up there with hendrix, dimebag, and van halen. I hate van halen, I never got into them, but to say kurt is better than EVH is ridiculously insane.

[TEDDYSTUDiOS24]

@iowaguitarshred

I don't think that his guitar playing was horrible mate,

Even if it was, he was really good at composing music (;

He purposely fucked up because he hated this song.

I agree at the point that he shouldn't be up to the top 100 guitarists,

But I think that he was like one of the most influental rock guitarists of all time.

[lawrence096]

@TEDDYSTUDiOS24 he fucked up cus grunge is about breaking musical rules, not cus he hated the song and also it wasn't a fuck up more like abstract.

[kristian5997]

@lawrence096 man jazz plays outside music rules but not in such a harsh way, plus it's his song to fuck with if he wants

[SKITTLESQUADFTW]

@iowaguitarshred No it's not, Playing guitar isnt 100% of being a great guitarist. 99% of it is composition of music. Theres 12 year old kids that can play EVH or Jimmy Page's music no prob maybe even "Better" but they couldnt right a classic hit like "Teen Spirit".  Writing the music is more important that how fast your fingers can move or how fast you can play the notes....

[iowaguitarshred]

@SKITTLESQUADFTW The first part of your comment just blew my mind away. You just basically proved my point that Kurt wasn't a great guitar player. Yes, 99% of guitar playing is about composition, but 99% of being a great guitar player is well, being a great guitar player, being able to write creative, unique riffs. 90% of Nirvana's songs consisted of 4 chords with very little improve. you're a smart dude, do you really think kurt, as a guitarist, is comparable to players like Dime or Jimmy Page?

[iowaguitarshred]

@SKITTLESQUADFTW Anybody can write Nirvana style riffs with no problem, Kurt never wrote any riffs that were unique and stood out. 4 chords, every song, no solos, no improvisation, nothing, just 4 chords over a rhythm. Cobaine offered nothing special to the world of guitar playing, thus, as a guitar player, he was mediocre at best. He wasn't known for his guitar playing, nor should he be. don't get me wrong, I love Nirvana, but Kurt was far from being a high prestige guitarist.

[SKITTLESQUADFTW]

@iowaguitarshred Your an idiot, with your logic no guitarist is high prestige.

[iowaguitarshred]

@SKITTLESQUADFTW You're an idiot for not being able to comprehend what I was saying and thinking that Kurt is even comparable to players like Hendrix, Dimebag, Randy Rhodes. They improvised, they wrote riffs that was more than 4 bar cord progressions, they revolutionized and pushed the bar of guitar playing. I didn't say Kurt was a poor musician, he was an excellent song writer and had a unique voice, but for guitar playing alone he's not even comparable to some of these child prodigies.

[SKITTLESQUADFTW]

@iowaguitarshred Your the dumbest kid ive even met. Spell COBAIN RIGHT when you're talking about him theres no fricken E. Why are you comparing him to Hendrix, randy Rhoads? Are fucking dumb as shit? Do you know what GRUNGE is? GRUNGE is not EVH or Hendrix. Why in the hell are you comparing him to them, its two DIFFERENT GENRES of music. Why dont we compare Robert Plant with Michael Jackson. God damn your dumb.

[iowaguitarshred]

@SKITTLESQUADFTW lmfao, I love how angry people get about such a shitty guitarist. I know Nirvana fans who even admits that he's a shitty guitarist, time to pull COBAIN'S dead cock out of your mouth and realize that he's not a good enough guitarist to be put on the same list as the greats, and it has nothing to do with "different styles" it has to do with the fact that he sucks. even compared to other grunge guitarists such as Jerry Cantrell, Kim Theyill, etc. he fucking blows as a guitarist.

[1THETRUTH10]

@iowaguitarshred Kurt could play the guitar a lot better than he did on records and live....but his whole point was to NOT sound like all the hair metal guitarist's. He played rough punk guitar, that was the point. Nobody got into Nirvana for the shred solos,wich lets be honest by the early 90's people were sick of!

[iowaguitarshred]

@1THETRUTH10 You guys got me all wrong. i never said Kurt was a shitty musician, I never said I hated Nirvana, all I said was that he wasn't one of the greatest guitarists like a lot of guitar magazines portrays him to be. He wrote great music which doesn't require great guitar playing to be accomplished. I don't know why people acts like I said Kurt sucks, all I said was he was a shitty guitarist, that's all. But like you said, that wasn't important for his style.

[iowaguitarshred]

@1THETRUTH10 Listen, I LOVE megadeth, one of my all time favorite bands, but whenever I hear someone say "Dave mustaine is a shitty vocalist" even though I love Dave's voice and think it suits the band perfectly, it would be ridiculous for me to say that his voice doesn't suck, because Dave has a very shitty voice. Same with Kurt's playing, it sucks but it goes with Nirvana's style.

[iowaguitarshred]

@SKITTLESQUADFTW btw, I love how you say "Grunge isn't EVH or Hendrix" even though even those two guys have completely different styles. Cobain wasn't known for his guitar playing and he didnt care and THATS OK,but it also means that he wasn't that great of a guitarist. Your stupidity to realize this amazes me and it amazes me further how pissed off and personal your getting because somebody pointed out to you that Kurt isn't the all around brilliant prodigy of a musician that youd like to think

[SKITTLESQUADFTW]

@iowaguitarshred ? lol r u a snake?

[iowaguitarshred]

@SKITTLESQUADFTW As hilarious as that is I still hold my point

Its like this, one of my favorite bands is Megadeth,I love megadeth,but Dave Mustaine has shitty vocals. As much as I love and respect his music.I would get a headache if he was put in a "top 100 vocalists of all time" with Kurt, Layne, Maynard etc. All those guys are by far a better vocalist and lyricist than Dave.Yeah, Daves lyrics and vocals is essential to his style, but that still doesnt mean that its good. Do you understand?

[SKITTLESQUADFTW]

@iowaguitarshred Y u so angry, Its the internet it dont matta

[iowaguitarshred]

@SKITTLESQUADFTW I'm not angry brutha, in fact you called me a "dumb kid" and went all yahoo pissed off.

I'm not angry at you just because we have different perspectives on music, I just have a shitty habit of debating pointless bullshit :-P

[1THETRUTH10]

@SKITTLESQUADFTW I have to disagree.....I could play stairway to heaven when I was 12, and jimmy page didnt even write it till he was 26!

[SKITTLESQUADFTW]

@1THETRUTH10 Could u write Stairway to heaven at 12 and have it become the most played song on the radio ever and the #1 rock song of all time? no....lol

[1THETRUTH10]

@SKITTLESQUADFTW Im guessing ur american. It was a JOKE dude, I mean come on, u took that seriously???

[johnakos99]

@SKITTLESQUADFTW i'm 13 years old i DON"T play awesome guitar but i write my songs and play them :)

i agree with you
