Nirvana - All Apologies [Early Demo Version]

[LocoJunius]

Clowns to the left of me jokers to the right.

[HorseDancingTheWaltz]

kind of like a mix between the beatles and ccr

[AliIKarimi]

Stuck in the middle with you...

[Ihuffglue91]

this is so 60's

[feenyfighter]

this is great... he really did try to hide all of his poppyness as much as he could

[PostPunkFan]

What the hell? This is better than the version on In Utero.

[figocooldude]

Sounds like something of the Esher demos. Nice.

[kusai5555]

@PepeLePue92 Umm Bille Jean, bad, childhood, beat it, earth song, d.s may I continue? Heres some advice from me to you do research before you post stuidity. Oh and I "hate to break it to you" but Kurt cobain disliked racists.

[whipchops]

this is better than the original. the original is better than this.

[shwat17]

@whipchops I agree.

[StrummingSparrow]

why do i get the impression that scott litt was around for this demo? there's an REM vibe goin on. yeah chip them in the list. the fundamental album reviewers flaw. using a list of other bands to describe one band when in the future that band that they describe using a list of other bands is in another list to describe another band. it goes on and on.

[odiumimbues]

@StrummingSparrow sorry man but this is 1990 or earlier.. before nirvana could even touch REM.

[MALAM777]

This is not Nirvana. Plain and simple.

[reflectwhatyouare689]

@MALAM777 and u dont know shit about nirvana

[odiumimbues]

@MALAM777 actually it is. This demo was recorded with craig montgomery. It is a folkish sound cobain eventually started to strive for..

he only put attitude and a rock sound to his music to soothe his bullshit audience. Deep down you know he wanted very sensitive tunes with real instruments.

[devilrobbie25]

claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssss­s

[pennyroyaltea89]

hahaha this is fuckin sweet!!!!

[0GrandTheft0]

I love this even more than I last commented on this



[diveinme]

lyrics anyone

'?

[0GrandTheft0]

I fuckin love this

[santurion]

obladih obladah at the verse

[bucketguy55]

@corpsemunger Those people can go shoot themselves in the head.

[corpsemunger]

no definitely Vaselines inspiration here -

less beatles more the Vaselines, definitely

[19941023diesel]

This is beautiful. This sounds somewhat like it consist of some Beatles inspiration in it.

[fkracaskill]

lol pause on 3:12 i think crist say one more time when kurt singing married

[69Xtasy]

i like the cd version better. kurt had problems granted he did try to kill himself once before but that bitch courtney finished him off

[bucketguy55]

rip KURT DON COBAIN WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!

[corpsemunger]

@bucketguy55 * expect for all the people that hate him :/

[fkracaskill]

This sound a little bit like a Velvet underground.

But i want see lyrics of that song.

[sillywamosir]

krist's 7th chord strumming made it sounded very folky, he should've played guitar way more..this song with his guitar playing sounds even better than the other version where he played bass guitar..

[SillyMusic97]

Doesn't this sound like the Beatles?

I dont know why, but it has some touch of it...

[jacxdaless]

@SillyMusic97 As you've most likely heard before, The Beatles were one of his favorite bands. Apparently his relatives would buy him Beatles CDs or whatever it was in the 70s, and his mother recalled him singing "Hey Jude" at age 2. He had an odd array of influences, but damn did it sound good!!!

[MacShunt1980]

@jacxdaless  cd on the 70´s... yeah, very classic, very punk rock.

[SillyMusic97]

does somebody know how that cord that goes "daaaada daaaada" on the riff must be played? id like to reord a cover of it :)

[SillyMusic97]

excellent sound, excellent song, excellent band.

nothing more to say.

[PieceofMindmusic]

maybe even better than the unplugged version....wow.

[thedude652]

Lennon would be proud

[PopCultureSucks]

@thedude652 Kurt learned from the best!

[ScentlessApprentice7]

@thedude652

John Lennon was Kurt Cobain's favorite Beetle. Even though Kurt passed before his prime a bit further than John, I am pretty confident that John Lennon would look at Kurt Cobain for what he was by April 5th, 1994 and would say: "That was me, pretty much, in a past time". But by actual character, Kurt Cobain was his own man, his own Legend. Then and Now.

[Overlorddz]

@ScentlessApprentice7 thanks Einstein

[ScentlessApprentice7]

@Overlorddz

You're welcome, wise ass.

[spongebobslushpants1]

@russelgman

lol I wrote this before u commented:

"This is very Vaseline-esque.

I love it!"

glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

[WwotEvarr]

love this version

[Zeppelinfan11or12]

it sounds like he ripped off the beatles but its overall awesome

[shwat17]

Anyone know what those chords that are being played over the regular riff are? I think they are seventh chords.... I'd appreciate it!

[madeyes4u]

@shwat17 I doubt Kurt even knew what chords they were. Seventh??

[RawwestHide]

@shwat17

E

A

D 12

G 11

B 10

A 10

That's the chord that goes through the riff.

[shwat17]

@RawwestHide thanks! shortly after posting this i figured out D worked just fine haha.

[painxtreme]

@RawwestHide Not as intentionally hard as some Beatles Chords, but it sure has their melodic bounce that Id not paid careful attention to before. One thing I can say, you have to have a really wide range or a really high voice to sing like Kurt

[RawwestHide]

@shwat17

Move the root note down to the fifth fret for " in the sun " part and then down to the seventh fret for " MARY"

[painxtreme]

@RawwestHide for the trivial record the 2 rhyming ends are "Married" and "Buried". I know the feeling.

[bigyatla]

@painxtreme Cool and freaky huh, that they are the words on a demo found after his death, maybe he was telling us something......(yes I know it's also an album track, but c'mon!!)

[RawwestHide]

@shwat17

For the 5th fret chord for " in the sun ", put your pinky down on the G string 6th fret and take it off to make that sound that he is.

[ZombieGuts13]

The feel it has is like C.C.R

[SirPissedoffalot]

@ZombieGuts13 its funny how you say that cause Nirvana originally started off as a Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute band

[skateronguitar]

Recorded January 1991... This song is older than Smells Like...I guessed it was written sometime in 1992

[matthewh2012]

i love this... it is so beautiful.. does anyone have an mp3 link to it?

[markbrow]

sounds like someone pretending to be Kurt. I call fake.

[roejogan8]

@markbrow this is not fake. i can prove it to you.

[andersonevans]

i wish they'd remix it and bring the vocals to the front a little more..

[mkrabc]

@andersonevans agreed....it cant be that hard right?

[scubaduba23]

he killed himself. EOS. Get over yourselves already...

[AmandaaaaaaH]

Tamburello versioooon :D i love that!

[bigmuffexpress]

Fake?

[starsweet4]

beatles-esque version.. love it.. vocals are way too soft though :(

[EdSaver]

the mafia Killed Him... I think So.. or Drugs =(

[Germanlovemusik]

....i am not english motherlanguage...but...this is an ..ear-wurm about me..such a amazing sound..so goood^^.. i hear that amazing sound every day.. and i know its long time gone..sry about kurt passed by so early..shit.. we german also love nirvana^^ i do..i do

[sagalicious123]

nice and upbeat... I like it

[DarkElfsDecay]

married..... buried.....

yeah yeah yeah yeaaaah.....  All Apologies. 5/5

[chipperh2o]

Sounds like a CCR song, Proud Mary.

[guitarman2793]

haha yea it does a little bit

[22rawrrawr]

i think they shoulda had the vocals double tracked on this one because the vocals are hard to hear

[russelgman]

Anyone else hear a crazy Vaselines influence with this version?

[spongebobslushpants1]

very vaseline-esque.

I love it!

[metalklay]

this is the tambourine version! =D

were did u get this?

[nikesvvoosh]

Kurt was a martyred.

[Kitt8y7]

its been 15 yrs since cobain died let it go... yeah he was talented and help kill that 80s hair crap but alot of people over look the fact that at the time alot of great bands were introduced to the radio, alot of them may have never reached the same commercail success but honestly it is cobaims death that took them from a great band to super nova statuss. I loved the music but as far as the death goes i cant prove anything so I cant point fingers

[ZephyrCinema]

"Legends are born after they die" ;)

[tommymarshall16]

They knocked Wacko Jacko's dangerous off the billboard top spot, not bad for an 'unknown' band?

[ucandoitnicky]

@ucandoitnicky nice vocabulary maybe someday you can fuck my order up for me at jack in the box.......

and fuck that kid touching, crotch grabbing, peice of cock... may he rest in shit.

the only reason he was so popular is becuase he was the only black man to transform into a white woman.....

[ucandoitnicky]

@EgagLatsev look up the facts he didn't do anything like that

[tommymarshall16]

Hey youcandoitnike, he did all of that and a whole lot more. P.S. Why are you afraid of allowing comments on your home page?

[ucandoitnicky]

@tommymarshall16 who said i was afaid and mj did not do any one but girls end of story look it up the dad lyed and told his son to do that and when mj died the dad killed himself and the son said it was all fake it was for the money the HOLE time look it up on goggle and yahoo and msn and fox new and every tv net wwork that does the news duhhh you jackass

[tommymarshall16]

[tommymarshall16]

[EgagLatsev]

[ucandoitnicky]

@EgagLatsev i ain't got to what???

[EgagLatsev]

i AINT got to get my facts streight to know mj is a pedofile....

[ucandoitnicky]

@EgagLatsev YEAH YOU DO IS BECAUSE MJ NEVER DID anything.

the dad that said that fake shit KILLED himself after mj's passing and the son told the world it was all lies MJ is a good person that never did anything. OWNED in the butt you lying WHORE

[EgagLatsev]

OMG ENOUGH ALLREADY DOOD SORRY I HURT UR FEELINGS but if ur a doucy gay mj lover then wtf are u doin watchin an actual band like nirvana

[ucandoitnicky]

@EgagLatsev im not gay and mj is not too and fuck you nirvana is legends like mj

[EgagLatsev]

DUDE its not an mj vid HES DEAD nobody gives a fuck about him here so pls lets me and u let others have some room to talk about nirvana

[ucandoitnicky]

@EgagLatsev i was only talking about MJ because someone brote him up DUMBASS anyways kurt cobain is a good singer but idk about this song not a favorite

[EgagLatsev]

OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im done... lmao

[Julian24151]

Seriously...stfu about MJ, he was a brilliant artist who had alot of conflict in his life, whether he really was a pedofile or not, he was a brilliant, nice artist, and this is a Nirvana video anyway, why are you bringing MJ in this?

[pfoltz10]

@Julian24151 he wasn't, the boy and father that started all that came out and said they lied after he died, fuckers.

[PepeLePue92]

@Julian24151

I hate to break it to you, but Jackson NEVER wrote one of his songs. Writing words to music is NOT song writing. Shits only 50% of the work, maybe even less. Long story short, the niggah Michael only got the best of the best of Songs from the top Song Writers that Big Cheese Companies could afford.

[therunningtap]

@PepeLePue92 any need for racism?

[KLBRECH1]

@therunningtap he said "niggah" i think thats pretty polite faggot

[therunningtap]

@KLBRECH1 faggot? half of your videos are about pokemon so fuck you

[7kole4]

hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

i love the part where you say "maybe someday you can fuck my order up for me at jack in the box......."

[neodean223]

so, you're saying, nirvana wasn't important or extremely huge when kurt was alive? lol

[zwfwrestling]

true story - this demo was found in cobain's garbage/trash shortly after he died by a trader/bootlegger, and that's how we are lucky to be hearing this today.

[ItachiThe7th]

@zwfwrestling There must be soo many other recording never releases. His daughter is suppose to inheirt some like song he wrote.

[PepeLePue92]

@zwfwrestling  im calling bullshit

[madeyes4u]

@zwfwrestling You're awesome for adding that little tidbit, thanks :) :)

[ivonaucla]

@zwfwrestling the demo maybe but the song we know... it's on the IN UTERO album... second single they released

[ericmeloman86]

I know kurt was depressed and he talked about killing him self before, But when theres no finger prints on his gun or it was prooven he had to much heroin in his body to shoot himself you honestly cant say that courtney had nothing to do with his death!

[mike8779]

You can barley hear the guy singing tho

[IdleOz]

i think this was recorded live with no overdubs, thats why theres no bass, I think Krist is playing a 12 string guitar behind Kurts electric guitar

[herohammer]

in order to believe that Courtney Love had anything to do with Kurt Cobain's death you would have to be more strung out on heroin than he was...dude was chronically depressed, suffered from stomach pains, was addicted to heroin, and just didn't like being a famous iconic celebrity, he didn't need any other reasons to kill himself, people have done that over way less. He was a great musician and by all accounts a nice guy, but he needed help.

[phatthippo]

thank you for some common sense!

[sMC193]

word brother

[lennon669]

wow you knew him? oh wait your just assuming huh?

[DarkestofTimes]

@herohammer amen to that and help he did not get

[M40snip]

@herohammer You are right but he took 3 times the legal dose and he could have died peacfully instead of blowing himself away so his daughter would have scarring images in here head

[ucandoitnicky]

@herohammer no he was hard working...

he Wasnt just ohhh im going to do this..

he wanted to be famous...

some people say he was alittle bummed from being famous because nothin' changed.. he was still from a divorced family,and personal stuff was the same...

im not sure about all of that but i know he liked his song being perfect...

and he made his songs so easy to play.. he describes them as

"A childs song. you learn as a kid"

[giannaluva65]

@herohammer thats SUCH an ignorant statement

Theres more evidence supporting the murder theory than the suicide theory

Its kinda easy to see someone snuffed him out lol

[giannaluva65]

@herohammer i've been all those things, addicted, despressed, i used to suffer from pinched nerves (pro wrestling)

I never was driven to kill myself

[danger900]

@herohammer actually i did a research project on it and they found so much heroin in his system he couldn't get up much less have the strength to hold a shotgun

[FuckYouVeryNice]

NEHRVENAH!

[suicidechickenshit]

Married-buried ... how prophetic. Why isn't that bitch in prison?

[eray12345a]

i really like this verzion

[lBlueShadowI]

very beatles sounding

[RideMyBMW]

Version sounds like something outta Sgt .Pepper XD!!!! What a great fu&%in song/band. Nirvana : My generation`s answer to the Beatles.

[luukyman1]

no...an 'e' chord...

[dawson8675309]

whats that bueatiful instrument, thats in this song, i know its not a guitar, or if it is i think its an "F" chord

[blablawhatev1]

The rythum guitar is playing a "D" chord - Comma Splice

[Jvergakis]

its E dim to G for rhythm you play the G chord when it comes to im married burried

[spongebobslushpants1]

ow wow it sounds totally different... much more lighter and happier...lol it's really good, but I think I like the other version better. I agree, though they should've experimented with stuff like this more, though I love how they are now!~

[SoundsLikeSunday16]

3:13 u can hear kurt say " one more time "

pretty jokes

[dawson8675309]

hey whats that instrument playing at .10 ?

[MelissaKimNicole]

I love this version

[MrRodrocks]

it's not kurt singing

[SoundsLikeSunday16]

you dumb ?

[GOHABSGO125]

wow this is amazing, altho i rly love every nirvana song and their style, they should of done more songs like this, especially since its like the beatles and they rock!!!

[trankos23]

this is not nirvana

[onesmartiemouth]

trankos23, this is nirvana, this is just an early demo

[lax920]

yeah, i think it is nirvana, but it really does not sound like much of anything else i have heard of them

[PearlJammer07]

It sounds like them for sure. It is just a demo. Demos usually sound drastically different. Keep in mind this was recorded in 1991.

[afronirvana]

on this version kurt and krist BOTH played guitar,and dave played drums and tambourine

[kcin1004]

where did you get this, please tell me. if you have this in an mp3 or something, msg me, :)

[kcin1004]

ive actually never heard this version. what first came to mind is that it is very CCR with a hint of the Beatles.

[sindresollie]

just listen to "Dumb" it reminds me SO much of the Beatles, without being rippof

[lax920]

yeah it does. dumb is probably my fav nirvana song ever.

[thembrown]

Wow, Ive just heard this for the first time. Its not on the Box set - but is sounding like its my favourite version of All Apologies

[NirvanaVideoVault]

wow i have not heard this version before!! it's more of a happy song which lights the mood a bit! which the other one is more grungy, i like both!!

[bunburyZ]

Placebo Sucks.

[farragoth]

Maybe if John Lennon and Paul McCartney had wrote this song, it`s very possible that the arrangements sounds quite similar to this version ;)

[Woho2you]

I like it :)

[thebigfatyoyo]

This realy shows Kurts Beatles and general 60's influence...i think:)

[omarcobian34]

god this play list sucks i love nervana but for relzz it sucks :D

[warlockboyburns]

look at kurt he's god damn beautiful

[ItchyClickfinger]

Shit ! I was just thinking that .

[PunkInTheBox]

weird

[bebi788]

tiene un sonido algo hippie

q viva el grunge

[grunge9002]

jajajaja este tema esta severo el ritmo esta muy bueno

[sk8punky09]

lol almost everyone has those converses.

I agree lol the audio sux..=P

[1984anarchieandpeace]

i got same shoes as kurt cobain has at this picture .......INFOOOOOO ! jesus

[dumbjolly]

terrible audio

[mrtall1994]

sounds like the beatles a little bit ;)

[szczerbatylukasz]

sounds awesome, funny as hell with second guitar.

[icsalex2008]

i got same shoes as kurt cobain has at this picture
