NIrvana Old Age (Sliver: The Best of the Box)

[1bhawks]

i wonder what the lyrics are

[JZZ31]

This could possibly be one of my favorite Nirvana songs. Wait, they all are, it's impossible to chose one over another!

[MrStonesword]

This song is one of my favorites, especially the bridge. The song compelled me to learn to play it, which the guitar is easy enough, but I get to wish and dream I could sound like him. Wish you were here Kurt....

[mrbecebege]

why is this version not on the 20th anniversary edition of nevermind?

[junemoonchild]

That Halloween show in Dayton was '93. Kurt dressed up as Barney and Pat Smear was Slash and stabbed Barney at the end. They had fake blood and everything. Bonsaii dude was probably so stoned that he really believed it was 1994.

[nevershoutstacey]

is best of the box a bootleg or was it released?

[Weraisethenerdyflag]

I haven't found one Nirvana song that sucked, they're all awesome. Even the gag songs.

[SmutJunction]

We're all old. We're old and grey. It's al long circuit.

[SmutJunction]

We're all old.

[TheEminemProd]

i need to listen to that before i go to bed , rip kurt :(

[MrsAlllllli]

this song is so beautiful makes me feel at peace

[einbischen]

God how I wish  I could've seen an old Kurt or have John Lennon still hanging around commenting on the world today and how stupid and crappy it is.

[4everunited07]

i like the version he did at home much better

[gigimusik2]

kurt is the best... how beautiful song

[zzWasted]

@gigimusik2 Nice English tard.

[theo7491]

can someone please tell me why betty white isnt in the slideshow?

[MaliceMods]

@theo7491 Because she's in everything else...

[420Anarcy]

@theo7491 because then the song would have to be called really old age

[somethingnotdone]

the best song off that money hungry cd lol

[rocker16732]

so much fun to jam 2

[nirvanaunpluged]

love this song ive only known it for a week and im tepted to go to fred meyers and steal this cd so i can listen to it at home

[beats1969]

[GenerationWhyBother]

[somethingnotdone]

@nikolarockon8 probably limewire

[T11LMG]

@nikolarockon8 its on the witht the lights out box set

[nirvanaunpluged]

awsome song this is side of kurt his true fans see

[MrStonesword]

@nirvanaunpluged Yup, the general public has no idea whatsoever.

[VeroNevermind1990]

kool pics

[bonsaiisuperstar]

I saw Nirvana, Meatpuppets, and the Boredoms Halloween night 1994 in Dayton, Ohio. Someone threw a shoe onstage, Kurt unzipped his fly, pissed in the shoe and then kick it into the crowd lol. Thats been so long ago :(

[nirvanaunpluged]

@bonsaiisuperstar lucky



[Yoshiling]

@bonsaiisuperstar What year was that? Obviously not Halloween '94. =(

[brownybum123]

no

[wyattjohnweeks]

@bonsaiisuperstar well thats REALLY weird considering kurt was dead by then. hmmm

[TheRiffCalendar]

@wyattjohnweeks No, he died 04.04.94, so it's nothing weird at all, REALLY. He lived four months that year.

[chaselambert163]

@TheRiffCalendar derp

[jdub18t]

@bonsaiisuperstar So you saw Nirvana when Kurt had been dead for 6 months???

[bada1]

@jdub18t loool

[Zammy117]

@jdub18t that seemed to strike me too...

[beejaytoon]

@bonsaiisuperstar Kurt was dead on 31/10/94

[theothermeisdead003]

@beejaytoon

Zombie Kurdt rises to play a show every Halloween. Quite a spectacle to behold.

[punaniswabber]

@bonsaiisuperstar kurt died april 1994, theres no way he played on halloween the same year, shame

[aerocmetallica1995]

@bonsaiisuperstar Do you mean Halloween of 93? Or are you just trolling? :/

[LOKITUPISBACK]

@bonsaiisuperstar Halloween '94? So was Kurt a fuckin' zombie?

[kurtgrohleselic4594]

@bonsaiisuperstar That's awesome, but it could not have been 1994 because Kurt died about 6.5 months before halloween of 1994.

[1bhawks]

@bonsaiisuperstar thats impossible... he died in april the same year

[genotone]

@1bhawks they played dayton on 30/10/93 though

[shitsickles1]

@bonsaiisuperstar thats fuckin hilarious

[bonsaiisuperstar]

@bonsaiisuperstar Ok OK. It was 1993. I'm getting old and forgetful. Stop sending me messages about it!!

[DJG009]

Great song freaking love it

[Perniciousdeeds]

old people suck.

[funkydrummystyley]

@Perniciousdeeds You fucking missed the point.

[Perniciousdeeds]

@funkydrummystyley did i? & what is the point oh wise one? all i'm saying is i hate old people, because they suck.

[eimoyano]

if you pull out your earphones plug a little bit, you can only hear the drums, is amazing!!!!1

[22rawrrawr]

0:23 isnt an old person its a guy playing guitar

[santanaincubus]

Is this Dave Grohl on drums? or Chad Channing? but anyways I love the drumming. Kurt is the man.

[GrungeSteak]

one more day to complete my service one more high to decay my nervous XD

[Uzzie101]

You can tell he listened to the Beatles.

[HeyThereIsRodrigo]

this is song is soo, DAMN IT ! PERFECT SONG !

[MAGOYA100]

que lastima que nirvana no llego a terminar la cancion porque es espectacular

[scottydohify]

This dude blows my mind with the work he has done through his years, at least he was here long enough to show us how much of a greater music experience we would have never indulged in without him

[DiamondSuccubus]

It takes a pisces to write songs such as these.

[Lenjaful]

I get tinkles in my belly of this song :3

[MatijaDrame]

very good song, I like Cobain's singing here... kinda... numb and off track

[killyouridols333]

Let us gaze voyeuristically into the press photos of a celebrity artist who is credited with one of the greatest albums of all time because of its commercial success in the early ninties.

i wouldn't apologize for putting pictures you gathered up from our wide web of old folks posing. but im not you. youre probably some seemingly insecure kid.

i dont know why i put a post on youtube. i just did cause this space is for putting posts.

[jidowod]

@killyouridols333 Ay?

[HitaroX]

@killyouridols333 interesting

[HenkkaNirvalica]

i love this song!

and I like the quality just by this song from Sliver: The Best of the Box

[HipHopAus]

This is now one of my fav Nirvana songs of all time... When i was like 8-10 years old i was completely obsessed with them and would look online and download any rare/unreleased/live stuff i could find, mostly just low quality song snippets that i'd listen to with realplayer (this was like 1997) but this was one of the only tracks i didn't hear till with the lights out was finally released... Amazing.

[Wodey25]

@HipHopAus There's another version, mate, grab it. I know what you mean about the Realplayer bootlegs, I was there too lol, just about ten years older though

[Viguene]

I think that this is the best Nirvana song,

Of course, a lot of idiots will say that Nirvana=SLTS well fuck them!

[DEMONTHIN]

He died to save rock and roll!!

[rockmusicfansonly]

@DEMONTHIN he was murdered!

[Gelahad]

@DEMONTHIN he died because he was tired of life i think, but it would be best to remember not how he died but how he lived!

[zoe7003]

@DEMONTHIN well music now has gone to shits

[stillwatchingyou1]

@DEMONTHIN he didn't save shit because when he died so did kick ass music you dumb fuck

[Polyfusia]

I don't think he's singing the transcription of the lyrics. I'm not sure "old age" is even a real line in the song.

One line I'd like to transcribe myself, is "One more death to complete my service". First line.

Cheers, folkies. Folks with yolks. Jokes, and so forth.

[hans61636]

are we rolling?

[bonniebellbutterfly1]

omg! kurt is the SHIT!!!!!

[Deesouthmusic]

Nirvana is the best band, in rock, grunge and alternative rock!

[missyoutub3]

kurt freakin cobain <3

[Mariamarijojose]

Amo amo amo Nirvana!!!, El mejor grupo de la historia I LOVE THIS SONG :) lástima k Cobain murió hubiera ido a todos sus conciers

[HitaroX]

@Mariamarijojose prado?

[Ara0liver]

I can understand why Nirvana chose not to release this song and gave it to Hole

[Boyhooddream1996]

people would just say it wasn't as good as the older ones.

[Hofkicks]

If I just think how their newest record would have sounded if Kurt didn't shoot himself.

[chrisvillan88]

This, this....is amazing

[p1nkAcid]

only heard the demo before now, thanks for posting

[eyesalwaysopen]

for the past 2 weeks i forgot about this version, ive been listening to the demo version, this versioon is just as dope. This song is god on pot. thanks for replying without you i wouldnt of came across this version for a while.

[dovganj]

¿Qué pinchila es esto?

[charliegray12212]

whether you like Nirvana or not, they inspired everyone in some way.

[sennipup]

I love Nirvana, I was 15 when Kurt died, and I was in total disbelief. I am fortunate enough to be in a band now that gets compared to Nirvana all the time. We tried for a long time to avoid the comparison, since it was NEVER our intention to sound like them, but now we embrace it. So if you like Nirvana check out the videos I have posted of my band Zero For Zero.

[beAVENeasy]

it used to be dive... but I think this is my fav nirvana song listen to them drums

[beAVENeasy]

I feel you on the bud tip, this is a great smokin song

[crashbashBearminator]

Awesome!

[eyesalwaysopen]

hollyyy shit this song is brillant, never heard it until today, im going to try to hold off until i can get some pot, going to be pretty hard

[thedude652]

did you get pot yet

if so how'd it go

[scubaduba23]

what the fuck am i listening to this garbage for? lol fuck nirvana, why am I even here? lol god.

[Sk8Gibson60]

@scubaduba23 nirvanas the best

[crashbashBearminator]

@scubaduba23 WTF is wrong with you?

[iLuvCanbisAt420]

im gnna live till im 40 thn thats when i die:)

[Ekyvvsaq]

why?

[phillyassassin]

old people scare me

[mentaanis]

ahh mira sale Violencia Rivas xD

[Draiman1234]

Would have made a great single. Kurt wasn't a musical genius, he was just really different in that way we can't understand, and it was to his benefit, he saw the world in a different shade of color.

I'll still be listening to this stuff well into the future.

[DEMONTHIN]

EXcuse me?.. Kurt Cobain was in fact a musical Genius, not in the likes of beetoven. but in the likes of elvis.

[Draiman1234]

Well, I wasn't downplaying him, just describing what I heard and saw in the music.

[EgagLatsev]

not rlly nirvana is great but the music isnt really that technichal pretty easy to play the lyrics are pretty unique and like the meanings, but the music itself is pretty basic stuff

[hejminrumse]

agree really much

[hejminrumse]

agree so much

[superbeeblaze]

is this dave singing on this one??

[LilC2012]

awesome music video? lol

I still don't understand why this was cut off of Nevermind

[House38500]

Teenage angst payed well, but i think i can grow up with the same energy and curiosity as before. Nice photos of old people. Cheers.

[mustangbladerz]

Nice..love it..luv you kurt

[Fabricioviedo]

I LOVE IT

[Edhallick]

Just think; If he lived he would have been 58 now. I wonder what he would have been doing, maybe playing in a polka band with other old people. Maybe doing stuff with Lindsay Lohan being that she`s in her 50`s now as well.

[TroutAmbush]

... Lindsay Lohan's in her 20's...

[dnggitg]

Kurt was born in 1967, I think. Which would make him 42 or 43 now. Much too young for the menopausal, liver-spotted Lohan. She must be, God, about 13.

[penang4]

where the fuck did you go to school?

[House38500]

Not funny, I think Lohan is beautiful dude. Cheers.

[hejminrumse]

She is not beautiful at all.

She looks normal and cute.

[House38500]

I don't even know why we are discussing.

[laangleey]

The photos are ok for me ^^

If the song treat of getting old you must put this photos n.n Congratulations for understand the mensagge of the song.

[SakuraDs879]

Where is he saying "And I will awake your highness im so high i canot walk..."????

Plzzz answer

[terrybrass]

I don't think the title of the song was supposted to be litural...

Reminds me of early 80's Music Videos where like if they said "Breaking my heart" in a song; there was a girl with a sledhammer actully breaking a glass heart of something...

[ihatemystepfather]

lol at 0:30

[KonradAdenauer]

DAMN! Kurt could write songs like no one else.

[fsfsfsfsfsfsg]

@KonradAdenauer kurt didnt wrote songs, he wrote experiences, and about problems we al face, and thats what made a whole generation love him, he understood!

[billytdakid]

...and he never got old

[DylanGunterIsNotCool]

i was gunna write the same thing,. haha

[Kurtck95]

yeah about that

[whato1986]

whoa... deep man!

[greenkid6555]

this song should have been on nevermind it is so perfect for that album

[pongrocks12]

one of my favorite nirvana songs

[Crocksmeat]

BEAUTIFUL

[paddy989101]

safe

[camerongrady]

well you should do some research yourself, for in an interview about rape me, he said taht he was tired of people putting meanings into songs that were just songs, so rape me is the first song he actially tried to put meaning behind.

[klutches]

R.I.P Kurt :) Your music changed my life for the better no matter what anybody says.

[HellSpawn696]

If Theres An "AfterLife"...Wheres Kurt?

[immugio]

ok... yeah he was a homeless junky till he got famous. then he was a famous junky. cheers

[smallclone]

so courtney stole this song or it was given to her and she ruined the lryics? thats nice.

[mydarkwonderland]

i luv the old people it made me smile lol

[BTown787]

Let's talk about this great song rather than talk about how he died, more than half the Nirvana videos are mindless arguments about his death.

[UlyssesPaws]

Agreed, too much hate on these videos, not enough love. <3

[Abstracmindz]

Let us remember how this man lived, and not how he died. Long live K.C

[Kenkilla100]

go fuck yourself

[KURTNDAWN]

@Abstracmindz blitz out on heroine?

[Dosenbier6]

I LOVE IT kurt you are the best ever!!!!! :( he will lives forever!!!

[jhutch8267]

haha im diggin the pics of the old people. i got it right away. lol

I love love love this song.

RIP kurt.

[mrceebees14]

Would've been nice to have Kurt in his "old age."

[KimYungSoo]

I wouldn't want Kurdt to live old. I don't think he deserves to live in this shit music world. He was suffering enough as it was with his mental, emotional and physical problems. It's a shame he can't be with his daughter. But hey, He's probably happier dead than what he ever was in his life..

[mrceebees14]

Except we really don't know that because the dead don't speak openly.

[KimYungSoo]

He said in an interview he'd be happier dead son..

[mrceebees14]

And what has he said since he died? "son"

[KimYungSoo]

nothing. He's just ashes in a guys lungs and the rest of the are scattered around a fuckin cementary...

[mrceebees14]

Exactly.

So there is a chance we never get that answer.

[KimYungSoo]

Well, we gotta go with what he gave us before he died...

[mrceebees14]

We don't, because that is only half of the answer.

The other part, like I mentioned before, we don't know and may never know.

[KimYungSoo]

I digg what your say bro.

We won't know until God tells us wtf kurdt is thinking right now.

[Krakko44]

good song but the old people are gross

[prozavversusheroin]

thanks for posting. good stuff !!

[dimebag38820]

it would be nice to see what level nirvana would have taken there music to if kurt where alive today. i think nirvana still wouldnt be here even if he was still alive. we probably would have a bunch of kurt cobain solo projects because he said he wanted to start working with different artists to put out different kinds of music. he was tired of the verse chorus verse routine

[ApocalypseForFree]

he sounds like Michael Stipe in the early 80s on this track..he was a REM fan. Kurt wanted to make an album which would sound like Automatic For The People, but he never had the time.

[DARKstranger4ever]

real music,,,,i feel so sorry for rock fans now,,,,RIP KURT!!!!!!!!

[Nirvana19871994]

i cant stop listening to this song, kurt was an amazing artist. i love all of nirvana's songs but this has to be one of my favorites.

R.I.P Kurt

[bonsaiisuperstar]

"One more high to decay my nervous" is suck an awesome line. Kurt had a knack for witty lyrics.

[YodaPala]

Its not witty at all.

Please put down the magazines and step into reality.

[MacKay1812]

One of the best songs off With the Lights Out and also Sliver the Best of the Box.

[ExtremePanda007]

I think the most logical conclusion would be the simplest. Kurt Cobain killed himself. Or at least that's what Occam's Razor would seem as the most logical, if I've interpreted that correctly.

[ExtremePanda007]

But if he was murdered, I think he knew it was going to happen. The man that was allegedly threatening to tell the police that he was offered money to kill Kurt may have told Kurt, but Kurt continued on, and left messages in his songs. Haha, I actually find this very unlikely, but it's still kind of interesting trying to figure out pointless hidden messages in his songs. Like the line, "Old Age" could just be ironic because he knew he would never reach Old Age.
