[enthnd03]

Room's only 500 sq. feet...

[AgileBeastt]

2:48 pokerface ._.

[bodalotto]

GOTTA FIND A WAY, TO FIND A WAY , WHEN I'M THEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Ripco]

Jonathon Ross wanted to boost his ratings by putting Nirvana on his show. He was being a cunt and said play any song but Territorial Pissings. You can guess what happened next..... 8===D

[grohllikeatroll]

Goodness know how many times ive watched this love it still tho

[FLIPP3DnTRIPP3D]

I LOVE it how they just finish the song, smash shit up, and then throw down their instruments and leave, dont even wave, look at, or thank the crowd xD EPIC

[canmoore]

You people just like everyone in the world still does not get it. Grunge was supposed to be completely abrasive, sloppy, and anything but commercial. It was an anti-movement, that the industry promoted as a movement.

[motocarnage615]

@canmoore Nah it was a movement by the people to the people, obviously you like Nirvana as well as their fans so who gives a fuck? If you liked playing guitar on the street and someone said, "I'd like to pay you to do that." unless your a complete moron my first guess would be you would jump at it, no one forced Nirvana to be commercial, their record Nevermind projected sales over $100,000 dollars in contrast to what Bleach achieved in sales... no comparison! they bought in but stayed true.

[motocarnage615]

@motocarnage615 Sorry 100,000 copies

[itsthearistocrat]

@motocarnage615 They certainly did stay true. Kurt Cobain could put his soul in his songs like no other, there are very few songwriters today that have the same authenticity. However Kurt's former lawyer Alan Mintz has quoted him as saying "Get me off this labeI I want to sell millions of records." Dave Grohl even recalled a negotiation with a major record label in New York, where Cobain said "We want to be the biggest band in the world." He knew exactly what he was doing.

[motocarnage615]

@itsthearistocrat Serious? I didn't know that, that is kind of fucked up! I don't think I'd be chill seeing Kurt turning into Bono.

[bogoio]

1:20 Kurt's dance is totally awesome

[doukakoa]

badass song. Nirvanas the best

[665885]

It's "nerve+vaan+naa", not "Nee+vaan+naa" - Dave Grohl..

[TheDopeOctapuss]

haha fuuck thats soo loud!! best fucking performancee i swear

[Bunee232]

I'll sing this when the people of the world are ripping each other apart, ....I guess I have to start singing.

[DeathGoreMachine]

Trash everything,...except the big ass expensive bass amp. Cool!

[KT12191]

Might be the best version of Territorial Pissings I've seen so far.

[domdom111111]

@KT12191 But the drum sound is inaudible......

[lucsanch]

probably the best video I've even seen

[luitenant22]

LOVE NIVANA!

[liiaammoo]

classic jonathon ross.

[itsthearistocrat]

This IS the greatest musical performance of all time.

[youintheglass]

FEEDBACK!!!!!! fuck yeah thats good...

[Liturgyofwar]

Always wonder why Kurt played this tune like that.Would be much easier to play the D chord on the fifth fret like the A chord cuz after the D chord he goes back to A

[london2resistance]

@Liturgyofwar get a life



[mardyben137]

@london2resistance Amen brother

[EnjoyTheSurface]

@Liturgyofwar mabye cos he was a gifted gutiarplayer

[pancakeday2006]

@Liturgyofwar Congratulations on posting one of the dullest comments I've ever seen on You Tube.

[Liturgyofwar]

@pancakeday2006

WTF is your problem dude? If you don't know shit, just shut the fuck up.

[masterchief11111992]

So many regards that don't get British humour.

[Drenwickification]

@masterchief11111992 yeah some people are so regarded

[EnjoyTheSurface]

@Drenwickification regarded indeed ;)

[VacantPistol]

holy fuck. how raw?

[cobainfreak321]

i love kurt cobain im hissss number one fan and im 13

[Misanthropia15]

@cobainfreak321 people like you are the reason why people like me are doing hard time for 1st degree murder & necrophilia.

[Drenwickification]

@Misanthropia15 lol wtf

[CoolmNL]

Krist is massive

[clowncox]

what i like the most about this is how many times kurt went to the wrong fret,

its only 3 chords and he fucked that up, on tv too.

the perfect statement that things dont have to be perfect to be good. or technically brilliant for that matter.

[nimaside]

@clowncox well to be fair those power chords are pretty high on the neck and that is difficult while singing what he was with out looking, and I'm a 80's guitar shredder. Yes Kurt was messy but I give him a pass with this song.

[PBANDSNOW]

@clowncox Thats very true, but keep in mind this is Kurts first heroin period, he was high as fuck.

[domdom111111]

@clowncox Does that mean that you can play any chord and fuck it up and still be perceive as good? I like Nirvana a lot, seriously! No sarcasm!

[clowncox]

@domdom111111

like i said the first time round, this was still good despite the amount of times he missed the frets.

what makes music like this good is the fact that the people who are playing and singing it seem like they know who they are and genuinely mean what they say, whereas i cant imagine green day or good charlotte or guns and roses ever seeming that passionate or sincere about anything.

pure emotion is better than wanky guitar solos everytime.

[65neu]

@clowncox I don't know if you play guitar but your kinda looking at it from the wrong side. Any guitarist will tell you that Kurt barely barely missed his chords and he easily could have. In fact, what he did wasn't even close to easy - playing with that much aggression and focus, singing/screaming and not keeping an eye on the fretboard. Kurt did it at a different level. there were lots of punk bands w guitar playing lead singers but nothing like Nirvana. They wanted punk to be heard loud&clear

[clowncox]

@65neu i think you and others have taken my comment the wrong way, i love the fact that nirvana is about playing something with passion rather than a load of fret wanking, i hate fret wanking music and i liked the fact that kurt fucked up on this video because it will annoy fans of that type of music, the whole process of them learning to play a guitar with no heart for hours and hours only to be beaten by this, testament to the fact that technical brilliance isnt as good as meaning it

[65neu]

@clowncox "technical brilliance isn't as good as meaning it"... that statement sums up the entire aesthetic of 90's underground rock perfectly and Nirvana were just the figureheads of that moment in time. Kurt hated that and there was only one way he could escape it.

[smuck06]

@clowncox Those three chords can be played on different parts of the fretboard. I've seen him play it different than the standard three in a bunch of live vids, but this one is best!

[65neu]

@clowncox but what people really should like about this video is how LITTLE Kurt missed those chords. As aggressively as he was playing, it's a wonder he hit the right chords at all - without staring down at his guitar! He barely missed a fuckin' note. He knows how it feels. Nirvana were all about feeling and passion and this was Nirvana at their most electrifying! I fucking miss these days but this changed my life and made me a better person.

[erickBUENO2009]

@clowncox Wonderful comment

[dirtynuke]

Poor Jonathan Ross just got the shit scared out of him. lmfao

[wom666bad]

das beste von besten

[TheUnconsciousPilot]

"when I was an alien, cultures weren't opinions."

Most of you probably don't know this but Kurt actually was an alien, he even admits it in an interview, just search kurt cobain alien. But don't think of it as the little green men alien, it's more like a star seed alien, someone who has a soul from a completely different dimension, and he's not the only one most people in the public eye are star seeds, Jimi Hendrix for example in his song "EXP" gives us the gist of where he's from.

[Drenwickification]

Krist is actually a fucking giant, look at 0:11 kurt looks like a dwarf standing next to him!

[sicariosdemidas2011]

Que grandes que eran estos tipos, por dios... Unicos.

[choclatedude11]

Thanks dislikers, you made the like/dislike bar look like a cigarette :]

[Rias944]

@choclatedude11 damn, that filter is small.. :d

[chocolate1678]

@choclatedude11 oh ,you´re right :DD

[cheekyegg]

@choclatedude11 or a green snooker cue with gay chalk

[91pacer]

recommend anyone to check my videos out plz

[spemo1]

this rock!!

[limeyboosk]

LOL @ 'Guy at the end needs a kick'. Its Ross having a laugh. He is an old punk, and Foo Fighters were on his show years later and Grohl and him were having a laugh about his comments above.

I don't think he would care if Nirvana played the wrong song. And the finger in the ear thing is British humour.

Great clip!

[rrrocco]

I noticed they didn't kick over that rather expensive Ampeg bass stack.

[grohllikeatroll]

Love nirvana. Love this song. Love grohl.

[1984LizardKing]

just noticed the intro is a parody of Jefferson Airplanes Lets Get Together....only took me since '94 to figure it out lol

[wolverine2244]

@1984LizardKing The Youngboods not Jefferson Airplane.

[1984LizardKing]

@wolverine2244 jefferson airplane cover them? wtf? lol.i only noticed it when i downloaded their first album and was like"where the fuck have i heard that" lol how the fuck could i forget ;)

[AaronDonFiglio]

Nirvana f•••••g rocks!!! That guy at the end of the video needs a good swift kick to the face. That fat douche fingering his ear like it was too loud, hope we didn't wake the neighbors he says. Nirvana got the last laugh on that fool, they probably turned up the volume as well!

[halflifeepisode34980]

@AaronDonFiglio i know, i hate Johnathon Ross, he's a silly twat. As a brit i feel i should apologise that we allowed that twat to introduce a brilliant band.

[greenthumb1500]

Foo Fighters ; ) 

[greenthumb1500]

Ha Russell Brand is just a scrotum swimming friend of Jonothan Woss..

[max2icey]

AHAHA didnt even play the tune they were suppose to XD thats hillarious i love nirvana

[SeoKungFu]

This is never loud enough !

[shanem182]

I fuckin love this song!!!! So much energy!!!!!!

[rugterwyper32]

Kurt, you awesome troll, you. Really, such an awesome guy. Not playing the song he was supposed to, playing something even better and less radio friendly, and getting away with it. That's style, man.

[mezezezah]

Best Nirvana song.

[mistabigg007]

Kurt is awesome!

[martymccay331992]

On the Jonathan Woss Show!

[flylotusfly]

fucking fantastic.

[jonjoker12]

awesome performance nirvana are the best

[pathetickian]

the "suit guy's" reaction is priceless

[davy59dk]

dans une émission de télé!!! in your face!!! yes!

[Mainsey05]

Nirvana's Best Song!

[n0v0cane]

Such an amazing punk performance. Long live nirvana

[Fatb0ybadb0y]

@n0v0cane grunge*

[n0v0cane]

@Fatb0ybadb0y

No way, this is totally punk. As Kurt Cobain said:

"Punk is musical freedom. It’s saying, doing, and playing what you want.

 In Webster’s terms, ‘nirvana’ means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world,

and that’s pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock.”

This performance, in particular, is punk.

[netcreeper40210]

@Fatb0ybadb0y I bet you're one of those pricks who think Pearl Jam is grunge too. I'm willing to put money on the table here.

[Fatb0ybadb0y]

@netcreeper40210 I bet you're one of those pricks who can't accept Nirvana are a grunge band, regardless of what Pearl Jam are

[netcreeper40210]

@Fatb0ybadb0y Go eat some pies, or something. I'm too high for this.

[khristianss]

jajaja quedo pa la caga.. camiroaga..

[asf1187]

ill have them play at my bar mitzvah!

[fossilbox1991]

this probably like one of the top 3 coolest things ive ever seen

[AdoriTraceur]

its like the show´s gonna explode anytime!! xD

[TheSotragic]

inspiring! this video is a keeper!

[davy59dk]

from france!! in your face!!!!

[YouthEnergy]

Nirvana trolled the fuck out of this show.

[calvin799]

Happy birthday kurt donal cobain!!

[missworldmaju]

Nirvana on a talk show. i can see why he felt dirty and upset... RIP Kurdt. The masses are asses

[N7Crazy]

First off, Happy Birthday Kurt! Today hundreds of thousands will visit the smells like teen spirit video! So will I, and I hope you will also do so! The reason I do it, is not only for Nirvana! It´s not only because it´s Kurts birthday! I´m not only doing it for the sake of Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl! I am doing it for MUSIC! Because shitty artists have raped the idea of music! This will not happen today! Today I will visit it for ROCK! And I hope you will too!

[FEMALEJOCKER]

NIRVANA RULES...!

[felipe29331]

hoooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooo man just kurt cobain make a real show

[x2REPx]

take that wossy!

[eatingplans]

Nirvana FOREVER!

[heroindog]

what guitar is he using? dont know if its a jaguar or a jazzmaster? nice colour though!

[prince420uk]

@heroindog Its a Jag :)

[kataishin]

LMFAO @ his pink pants!

[waaromzomoeilijk]

I quote; "Jo Bolsom:

"They did things on their terms and we didn't fuck with that. We sat backstage, giggling away, when they did Territorial Pissings on the Jonathan Ross show. They were meant to do Lithium, because it was more TV-friendly. The producer was running round going, 'I'm gonna get such shit.' but we were like, THis is hilarious, fantastic television, what's the problem?"

:D

[brightlights456X]

Haha look at Jonathan Ross. Little did he KNOW what pure TALENT was before him.

[zweiosterei]

What an interesting Bar Mitzvah would had been with those guys in charge of the music.

[Bobbythehammer]

i wished i watched this at the time.

[TheMetalbomber]

i wish this dude was still alive

[1940ghost1945]

aguante NIRVANA loco!!!!

[N7Crazy]

You gotta give that host, that he´s got humor: "They didnt play the tune we expected, but I should tell you from them, that they do childrens birthday parties!" Audience: LOL

[Yrrats]

@N7Crazy Jonathan Woss is very funny indeed.
