[angeldcd1]

[FunkyMonks217]

[MrGalippo]

yeah!but... poor kurt=(

[saboteur31]

i dont get why no one can understand this was for fun and a very good idea of kurts

[colethemole54]

no mtv wouldnt let them do a telvised show so the did that to piss them off

[oMTVkilledRock]

MTV wanted them to fake their playing over a backing track. So they decided to just screw around lol.

[29flo]

It's too fun ^^.

[hillbillymoment9]

Thats them. Theyre on top of the pops and kurt said in an interview that he was impersonating Morissey of the smiths

[joydivisionrule]

man thats weird shit is that really them ???

[carlosacdctedguns10]

the music is good but curt is a animal

[JttM199]

yeah this is nirvana my brother has a live dvd of them doing this there screwing around

[czyzykkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]

wtf?

[vickold]

drugs ^^

[nevex169]

is this opera?

this isn't nirvana!

[Krigor22222]

This is The Parody of Playback

[AJGoodfella7]

This is really Nirvana you fucking retards... Cobain sang like this as payback and fucked around with his guitar because they wouldn't allow them to play their instruments live and wanted them to pretend they were really playing. So the whole band fucked around the whole time.

[lerg12]

wtf happened to him... better not be the crack

[ShawniDark]

very good

[maxboy45]

hahahaha

[zilard8]

OMG!!! WTF ??? LoL

[QuietRock1964]

how do these words relate

[argamer]

that is the question we would all like answered

[acropolitan]

What would be awesome is to have this video tagged a little more specifically so people can find it more easily... I don't know... "playback," "not really playing,"... I know it's hard.

But I logged in specifically to find this video. Thanks for posting!!!

[Lazar6000]

kurt's voice sounds like the dude from joy division.

[PalVraY]

best part is when the camera gets fucked... :Dahaha

kurt did a great job making fun of the playback shites :D rock hard

[GrifSam]

ha he is not even playing he is screwing with the japenese

[Shadowscar3393]

WTF wankers wth is this :S

Kurt cobain has 1 of the greatest voice's of the freaking world pathetic there people like this :s Geez dude die.

[Gromos69]

jajajajaja es un capo

[ladyblanchette]

the actual story behind this video is that kurt didnt wanna play the song so the over dubed the instruments funny story

[Spellbinder20]

Kurt did want to play but he forgot how it goes so they pulled people who looked like the band from the audience to fill in. I can't believe you never knew that.

[BloodRiku13]

dude ur so stupid he didn't forget and this is them he did this for fun

[Spellbinder20]

Wow! You didn't know that? I thought everyone did.

[Hinzthesonguploader]

You're right, that obviously isn't Kurt. This guy doesn't even look like him, or sound :)

[Luisguitarrista]

thats kurt cobain man 100% sure

[dragonballmarcus]

it's kurt, he was annoyed cos they wanted them to lip sync so he screwed around

[SilentTalkieFilms1]

@dragonballmarcus Why would they want him to lip sync when you can hear his voice through the microphone? They obviously wanted the band to play along to the studio track.

[dragonballmarcus]

@SilentTalkieFilms1 Yeah, by lip sync I just meant a general sync of audio to not actually playing or singing.

[crashnburnxx]

kurt cobain sounds like hes on crack or somthin great song though

[alexandremazotinavar]

USAISUAISASIASHAUHSUAHSA its look like Gugu!

fuck playback!

[G0c09]

It's really funny how they outright mock the concept of having to only pretend to play, and Kurt's... Alternate... Singing is just hilarious.

[RichieEastside]

hey i can actually understand the lyrics in this version :D

[yoshigura]

Interesting version... Also wondering who plays guitar since Kurt doesn't seem to do much in the start :p

[IJAB123]

Haha Kurt's amazing. So independant. RIP Kurt.

[kcfgdhj]

there's nooooooooooooooo! way that this real

[PullingTeeth1]

Jesus christ. [Quote,TheSpasticBowels] Half of you think this is fake, its not

This is when nirvana were performing on top of the pops, and they were made to pretend play their instruments (as do all T.O.T.P guests are) they could only sing so it would sound "authentic"

So with nirvana hating pretending to play, They thought they would take it somewhere else and give the fans something to remember

[condors1972]

whats not real? yes, its really them...yes, they're sticking their fingers up to having to mime the song...hence the non-playing of instruments and Kurt messing around with his voice....

[tejchi94]

interesting

[MedvedLopuch]

Kurt is GR8 singer and big showman R.I.P kurt

[myfamilysblacksheep]

it seems somehow more depressing

[metalp12]

this is not fake they was really bored of singing this song so they make it funnier .. load up on drugs kill your friends :D:D:D

[TheSpasticBowels]

Half of you think this is fake, its not

[Takkun2]

And pretty much, they really hated playing this song over and over lol

[cowboys78910]

[TytaniaJutrzenka]

[kingshahine]

its not fake, this is him, he said he was trying to imitate morrissey from the smiths, and he wasn't very fond of the song after awhile either

[SundayMorninEveryDay]

he enjoyed taking the piss out of this song

[TheParkbreakkid]

[rengologo]

[littlehiggy4]

[KrayzieBone18Deuce]

hes just fucking around people wtf is wrong with you guys..he's not high...

[GOREHOLOCAUST]

nirvana 4ver!!

[Julian1234567891234]

"F*** Your Parents,Yeah,gay,Rape"No!

[figpiney17]

It's not like Kurt Cobain to not play his guitar

[Homerbest]

Semplicemente Strepitosi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AeroplanumMaximum]

Load up on drugs and kill your friends...sounds like good advice, YAY!!!

[whiskyjd26]

i like this performance!!

[staypuft138]

hahahaha

[chritenosetay]

Pshhhh......dont you know taking clips out of movies is illegal? hope you go to jail or prison.

[dezzed6]

LMAO!

[dskennie]

This is so funny. I never heard Kurt sing so low. He's practically deep-throating the mic at 0:56. jk This is funny though. It shows his light and humorous side.

[untho10]

if this is really nirvana, it's awesome

[MardraumGhoul]

So fuckin funny!

[MexicanSeadude]

erm this is nirvana

Top of the pops (name of the show that this is from), asked kurt to sing over a backing track,the band wanted to play the song live, so they just made it look fake

heck, its on the live tonight sold out VHS/DVD, and it gets shown on UK TV once in a while, so research your crap before spewing bullshit

[npavur]

I first saw this clip as part of Live Tonight Sold Out, and ever since then I've been trying to find a copy of the whole song. It seems to end right as they're getting into it. Smells Like Teen Spirit is about 5 minutes long, of course, I realize that they may have been cut off half way through.

Anyhow, you seem knowledgeable, and this happens to be my favourite version of Smells Like Teen Spirit. Do you know if this is the whole song as it was played? Any info would be appreciated.

[MexicanSeadude]

I dont think the whole song was played, ive never seen a complete version anyways

[brandonhihi]

wtf is this shit

[MardraumGhoul]

This is Nirvana, they just wanted to have fun

[aznsensation3]

is this the fucking british nirvana or something?

[aznsensation3]

WTF who the hell are these assholes lol

[Constantinch]

what the hell is this?? bullshit

[FrAnTiCiSgOoD]

that isnt kurt cobain!!

[collhiodudeoo9o]

no shit!

[PullingTeeth1]

yes it is... pretty obvious that their making fun of their song and taking the piss out of top of the pop at the same time -.-

[RemArnaud]

Musta been sick

[TheBestBand101]

y does he sound like that

[espinale2]

o.o what happend with kurt in the end xD

[Intergalaxy]

I love this video!!!

Kurt was a genius!

Thanks for share!

[Trav12245]

thats what I call getting back at people lol still cool to listen too though

[RE4Freak]

lmfao

[guitarrocker1]

i like this performance but it's also scary

[solobr0s]

dude not funny!

[ecwgrungetna]

A Fender Jag That Badass Yeah Thats Kurt lol

[kalinbmx]

thats not him

no way

[Iruelthe11]

Yeah that's Kurt. He was Pissed because TotP Was making them play with play back. So he stuck it to them. Not to mention he REALLY didn't like this song. He was so sick of playing it, and the singing hurt his voice. He had thought/hoped that Lithium would be the big hit off Nevermind

[kalinbmx]

oooooooooooo

[inx2xdeep]

kurt had an amazing sense of humour.

and in this, he's hilarious. but he sounds like a creepy old pedophile when he says "my libido."

o.o;

[cobainaddict6794]

Wow Wow dude Kurt did not hate playing this song

What he hated was the fact that everyone wanted to hear it

He had no problem playing it that wasnt it

He probably just wished they would have wanted to hear another song

He did not hate playing it

[fateagleaz]

He is probably really mad, and I think I have the explanation. Every Nirvana fan knows that Kurt HATED playing this song. The audience were probably shouting "Smell Like Teen Spirit!" Which got him pissed off.

[ImadouchebagNIlikeit]

NO the story behind why Kurt did it this way is simple: The producers of the show wouldn't let him and his band play the song live but they said Kurt could sing the song so when it came time to perform this song on a LIVE show, he chose to show the producers how he felt about their decision and he performed it this way on purpose as his way of saying "fuck you!"

[bg22116]

yup

[sammartinez93]

lol this was funny he wasnt taken the piss out of weird al he helped weird al write that song.

[blazertreyflip]

i dont think he was pissed wsnt he sick?

[bg22116]

nah he was just angry as hell

[bg22116]

hey guys he's not supposed to playing it, Nirvana wanted to play it, but the station opted fpr a back track instead, but gave Kurt a live mic. Kurt was pissed and this is the result thats why he isnt even acting like he is playing and none of them are

[graysonrn]

lol he's this is not him playing you can tell cause when it does the do do after the famous rift he's not playing it he has his hands on the mic and krist had bass so he couldnt play it

[muzazz]

i think he s just a little pissed of from weird al l parody... he s making fun or weird al because he coudnt play smells like teen spirit :) kurt cobain forever...

[superhi]

Kurt actually wouldn't be pissed since like he said "He knew Nirvana made it." when he heard the parody.

[joesulub]

it's funny when you see all this guys cheering and clapping , screaming like it was a pop song , turn out alternative into pop , i think that was mainstream and media that really killed kurt !!!

[rockrulezsucker]

it's funny really funny.bite my ass hihi

[wetthecheat]

lol Kurt did this because they told him he had to just add new vocals over the CD for the show, and he said fuck that because he didn't want to lip synch to his own song, so he was fucking with them. Not to mention he was in a silly mood that day.

[harleypoyner]

this was on live ! tonight sold out

cool

[philipori12]

yeah ok good but dead now.

[Sideoftheham]

This is Nirvana, they're just doing that on purpose to kill the Terrorists in Africa.

[Th3Warl0ck]

he has killed himself and i can`t understand that :D

[nirvana5834]

this is so cool ps kurt was killed

[becca12343]

lol this isnt kurt sings way better whos the poser peeps?

[Nannada12]

Oh my god... That's Kurt, he's mocking himself because of what "pop icon bastards" Nirvana had become.

[alinpildner]

they rocked!

[basuracriminal]

si es la banda nirvana konchadetumadre!!!

[slipknot4root]

Yes is in the dvd

[manka6]

Serves them right for bloody clapping like stupid gits!

[dakidz]

that is not kurt!!

[gudrunschyman]

i fuckin love this :D

[Fuckhead1976]

I love the way the vocals sound personally, even if they were just fucking around, and its obvious their not playing because kurt's hand dont move for half the song (for those fools who may doubt he isnt playing)

[gofuCKYourself96]

halarious he just takin the complete piss LMAO!!!

[Fabyo222]

kurt mentality

[sonicdeath24]

man so many stupid comments. havent any of you ever heard of top of the pops? this is nirvana.

[Nannada12]

You're all stupid, except the people that are like WTF it's Kurt. Because it is. No one else would go up there and do that to Nirvana's song, especially after Kurt's death.

[ChazHemp]

well this exactly how type o negative covers teen spirit so, yah someone is gonna go on stage and do this to a nirvana song...

[Nannada12]

However, they are no one. Therefore, I win.

[noahcrosby]

fuck u nirvana was and still is the best band ever so fuck off bitch

[Sadartha]

This video is simply... Nirvana! TOTAL FUCKING NIRVANA!!!! PUNK ROCK!!! This is actually the "SMLTS" version shown in "LIVE! TONIGHT! SOLD OUT!", SIMPLY GREAT

[angrygecko]

what the hell is this ??

[RebelThoughts]

LOL! Nirvana rules! In this video Kurt kinda sounds like Morrisey and the ex-lead singer of the band Joy Division.

[Promovisual]

its not kurt. this was done in 1995

[drobthemosher]

it is kurt you idiot. the members of the band acted all weird because when they were invited to play on totp they were told they had to mime, using a nevermind backing. they were told that they could sing a live vocal though, so this is them mocking the fact that so many popstars mime

[BIGN88]

exactly.

[drobthemosher]

lol i just got an email that someone had replyd to my comment so i went all through this page to find that it was a one word answer. oh well.

[BIGN88]

HA HA

[drobthemosher]

damn i did it again.
