[2pacalypsenow]

This is sooooo good to play and sing along too.. I'm new to the guitar but I love it so much! Even if I get it wrong I can just pick it up again and sing... Cobain = LEGEND!

[macgoo32]

[Pollymakeudizzy]

[Jbot747]

I love this acoustic performance, but I hate that theirs no live footage

[C0lt3n]

It's definitely Kurt guys. Just buy his With the Lights Out Box Set, this was a demo that he did.

[TreyMvZ]

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

sounds like shit

[bereberebere1995]

@JaCkMiChEaLs0n you sound like shit saying that ;) you dont know what grunge is so fuck off ;) gon and listen to justin fuking beiber or how the fuck his name is

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

@bereberebere1995 the quality sucks, he sounds like he just fuckin woke up, the guitar sounds like a fuckin toy, and ye-eeh-eeh-eeh-eeeaah part sounds like a hung over bob dylan

this version sucks a dick, it sounds like some fag doing a kurt cobain impression- and a pretty fuckin shitty one at that

dont you act all high and mighty telling me "you dont know what grunge is" when you subscribe to that fucking dyke shane dawson you emo little fag

i love kurt but this shitty half assed cover blows

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

@bereberebere1995 the quality sucks, he sounds like he just fuckin woke up, the guitar sounds like a fuckin toy, and ye-eeh-eeh-eeh-eeeaah part sounds like a hung over bob dylan

this version sucks a dick, it sounds like some fag doing a kurt cobain impression- and a pretty fuckin shitty one at that

dont you act all high and mighty telling me "you dont know what grunge is" when you subscribe to that fuckin dyke shane dawson you emo little fag

i love kurt but this shitty half assed cover blows

[bereberebere1995]

@JaCkMiChEaLs0n so you write all this shit to explain me nothing? thx but grunge its about bad quality and making music just 4 funn thats the life kurt wanted kurt wanted only food and something to drink .......so try to understand this ..................

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

@bereberebere1995 grunge is about a lot more than just that- you cant just play a shitty version of a song on a toy guitar and call it grunge. if noone knew this was kurt and it was just some random guy playing it as a cover noone would like it. yet it gets shit like "his voice is better than sex" & shit like that JUST cuz its him

theres a reason kurt didnt release this trainwreck when he was alive- its just a shitty recording that they put out in 2004 to try and squeeze more money out of hm

[bereberebere1995]

@JaCkMiChEaLs0n if i like shitty stuff whats your problem man? and wtf this its a raw footage music its about fucking emotion so this has much emotion thats all what matters kurt wasant a guitar god not even a guy with a incredible voice he was only raw emotion and pain thats all that matters in music this its just my opinion..........so i wont listen to you anymore

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

@bereberebere1995 fuckin hypocrite

i voiced my opinion of it and you lambasted me and said "you sound like shit saying that ;) you dont know what grunge is so fuck off"

then i make valid points and you give up and start telling me that im the one attacking you?i dont care if you listen to me, people like what they like and i dont care, kurt was an excelent musician- not the best guitarist, but a damn good vocalist and writer; however this recording fuckin sucks and i hate it

thats it

[MsCg9]

@JaCkMiChEaLs0n Dude I in no way shape or form proved your point. MY point is there was absolutely no editing, double tracking, or even a good amplifyer there to support Kurt. He used all of these in the bands final edit. I disagree with the release of the tapes only for the reason that it's making money off of a dead hero. You have yet to make a valid point so if you would stop commenting on the video until you have an inteligent comment. Stop ruining this for those who enjoy it.

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

@MsCg9 there was no editing or double tracking with the live from NY version- and his vocals werent spit shined either- but the live from NY versions are by far my favorite. i dont give a shit if the quality isnt great- but it has to at least be fucking listenable

i love watching lives (as long as there arent any screaming faggots next to the camera) but this shite should have never seen the light of day

[MsCg9]

@JaCkMiChEaLs0n If your watching the DVD or youtube clips there was definently some editing done. Ever seen the clips taken out of the show? There was definetly some editing and "spit shined" content. Face it we have no clue what the conditions where when this was recorded. you've obviously got your opinions and good for you. I don't see why your so against this recording! Let it be and find something better to do with your time than bitching about music clips.

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

@MsCg9 fair enough

[MsCg9]

@JaCkMiChEaLs0n Furthermore, I agree that it shoudlnt have been released but your just being an ass about this. Let your opinions be yours and those we who like the somg can have ours. No one wants someone who is going to spew slander without regard for anyone. You act like you're a music god and know what grunge is. It is what the artist wants it to be. How bout you grow a pair and knock it off. If you want clean and edited music go listen to your pretty boy shit and i'll stay here for emotion

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

@MsCg9 how did i act like that- because i said this version sounds like shit- or because i just said grunge is about a lot more than just raw footage and poor quality?

the only point i am making is that this sounds like complete shit, and that if it was anyone other than kurt singing this disaster- most if not ALL of these hypocritical faggots would not be giving it such positive feedback

you said "it is what the artist wants it to be" and you know kurt wouldnt have wanted this trash out there

[MsCg9]

@JaCkMiChEaLs0n But at that time it's what he wanted. If he felt the recording was pure shit the final product wouldn't have been on Nevermind. It's not just that it's Kurt singing it. It's that we keep in mind what it has become. If you've ever seen anything of the band live he sounds like this. It's raw and it's what he sounded like live. We can't know what Kurt wanted to be out there. Have you ever heard "Spantk Through" or "Ain't it a shame"? It's all different noone knows what he wanted ou

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

@MsCg9 i do agree with that

if this was just a draft then of course it'll sound like shit- he hadnt gotten it completey down yet;

but if he had been happy about this particular version or wanted it released he would've done so himself- it wouldnt have had to have been released 10 years after his death by this shit ass record company for more fuckin money

[MsCg9]

@JaCkMiChEaLs0n Dude i know its beena month since you wrote that so maybe you got a half a brain and looked it up. Its a home recording off of With the Lights Out. It was a box set of unreleased and home recordings. An artist isn't going to release his first draft of a song. It's not a cover your being a jackass.

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

@MsCg9 i didnt mean that it was literally a cover you ass

but you still proved my point- it is a shitty, drafted, halfassed version

[unchicollamadoham]

is kurt?

[crimsondevil2245]

@unchicollamadoham :/ are you stupid obviously it's Kurt

[unchicollamadoham]

@crimsondevil2245 sorry, at first the voice sounded strange ...

but I definitely love this version

[GabrielCampbellMusic]

WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A DISLIKE BUTTON HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!YOUTUBE NEEDS TO FIX THAT!

[ManOfGomau]

Yeah, it's Track 2 of Disc 2. All 3 of the discs have loads of amazing really rare stuff on them, I strongly recommend buying them or downloading them from somewhere.

[TheDevilguy676]

WHere'd you get this version? :/

[ManOfGomau]

@TheDevilguy676 The 'With The Lights Out' boxset.

[TheDevilguy676]

@ManOfGomau Is it a CD aswell?

[Jagstang1995]

This Demo and the Studio Version of Polly and Somthing in the way is recorded with a 30 $ Guitar :)

[0GrandTheft0]

Someone posted something about Nirvana on facebook and some little faggot who listens to Lady gaga and justin bieber had the nerve to say Nirvana was "annoying" and that they sucked. I've never ranted or had an online "fight" until now.. pathetic I know but Nirvana is the shit

[Zukalt1]

Такой голос сексуальный :D

[1234kmilo]

ooooh maestro me logro convencer.. que voz tan tremenda ojala haga mas.. seria bacano escuchar la de all apologies

[jrock109]

I love the sound of that cheap guitar. Gives it a more raw tone.

[JackRuskin]

this is from best of the box :):)

[KingDarkage]

@Avanz91 it's Kurt idiot -_-

[Avanz91]

this is aint kurt cobain !!!!!!!!!!!!

[commierocket]

@Avanz91 it's on one of the outcesticide albums, and a few others troll.

[ramisama88]

YEYEYEYEEEEEEEEEEEE YEYEYEYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH

[doug1119]

I was so disappointed that they didn't do this one at the unplugged performance, but the Bowie cover totally made up for it.

[AustinD45]

To everyone that says it's fake... it was on the damn With The Lights Out box set... so yeah... it's not fake... get over it lol.

[loyola3000]

sonrie kurt cobain ahun vive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peacegland]

he sounds fucked up on coke and shit, yep that's kurdt.

[SpeedDemon661]

@peacegland on coke? lol

[uselessXLZ]

in all Kurt home made recordings,the voice may sound weird...so very idiot people (who do not know really Nirvana) may say that are fake.

this IS Kurt's voice,and sounds like porn for my ears...and makes me feel good,very good and relaxed/satisfied :)

[czechdog2]

26 people are fags

[WeTheHabit]

wow. i wonder when this was recorded? His voice improved so much over a few years. Even tho this sounds inexperienced it's still dope

[900nirvana]

y cant people just sit back and enjoy the greatest band in the world? y?

[relsismada]

It just doesnt sound exactly like Kurt because its not edited...he's trying to to sing more accurately instead of screaming his ass off.

[billyboy434]

I could use some lithium right now...

[flaresideg]

uhh u fuckin dumbasses thats me singing thats not kurt

[denestud]

@flaresideg lol good one for those who dont belive that kurt sings this, so yea i agree with you lmao

[ejrt5]

I wuv vis song :3

[ivanzhopepper]

He is not Kurt... Good cover. Think, this gay doesn't know the lyrics and he makes an effort to tell that this version is from Kurt.

Lol! "It's ok I shaved YOUR head"??? xDDDD

[r3v3ng3r666]

@ivanzhopepper hm.. you should listen lithium live versions, some of them are with changed lyrics.

[hitlerlovedjews11]

@ivanzhopepper retard

[10GreenDay01]

@ivanzhopepper are you retarded asshole??? check out With the lights out - box set, then youll see its really kurt, you dickhead.. btw sometimes he changes to lyrics..

[ZackAllenLadd]

@ivanzhopepper it is kurt it was off of the with the lights out box set

[PizzaBlade17]

@ivanzhopepper

Dude this is KuRT. These are the lyrics faggot. It's from the With The Lights out box set. Faggots are so dumb these days

[Avzzor]

@ivanzhopepper this is the demo you fucking idiot

Fucking epic

[DontEatEggs666]

@ivanzhopepper HAHAHA I BET YOU FEEL LIKE A DUMBASS NOW!!!!!!!!

[Neon2006rs32]

Bieber sucks Cobain...loser!

[DaRkIsK]

[nitrotoyota]

his voice is better than sex

[smellslikevin]

lolooololololololololololololo­lolol

[GheryANTIFA]

@nitrotoyota let's not exagerate but close though :))

[MrTsantos]

@nitrotoyota

you must bad sex

[StroopwafelProducts]

@nitrotoyota ehm....no

[denestud]

@nitrotoyota lmao

[Surfister]

@nitrotoyota you're clearly a virgin

[ThatRantKid]

I bought the with the lights out box set and I like these solos as if not (if not more) then the actual album versions. So inspiring.

Sounds like he could just pick up any guitar and strum any chord and sound amazing doing it.

[panicatthediscorox15]

LOVEEEE his voice

[panicatthediscorox15]

it is Kurt get over it

[aligantor]

its kurt is form live version on radio

[HitaroX]

on radio ? what do you mean?

[aligantor]

@HitaroX that version it was recorded wen he was go to that station on  radio and that version it was recorded acoustic live i gues it was an interview

[apscence]

awesome!!!!

kurt rulezzzz!!!!

[Headtizado]

(L)

[alguienPLC]

xD! awesome... LOL

[LembergSandra]

That's the wave on which you can survive through Ukrainian winter

[macskasegg]

It's Kurt, just younger. By the way, you can hear how voice changed through only 2 years, in '93-94 he's voice was - I like it better - like he was bored and more like an adult's voice, compared to his voice like in '91. Maybe depression changed it, or maybe drugs, or maybe both. He still rocks.

[LemurDeCatta]

Cigarrettes too.... yeah or drugs, whatever counts.

[streamgen]

in addition:

when you watch his vocal performances

around 89 when they were on subpop

you see that he screams crazily.

watch the rhino records session for example.

he never used singing technique. he would just scream "naturally".

in the longterm thats not good for you voice.

im sure thats one reason why he got laryngitis in 1994.

[Ekyvvsaq]

Is laryngitis that stomach disease he had? I thought he was borned with it?

[streamgen]

no, laryngitis is an infection in your voice box and if you dont cure it carefully it can damage or kill your voice forever.

i think the stomach desease was the major point.

[Zehydra106]

laryngitis is a throat sickness you can get.

[WILKINSON0987]

Hahaha woah your intelligence is inspiring!

[Ekyvvsaq]

@WILKINSON0987

"Damn it, Jack, I'm a listener, not a doctor"

[CanadianChronic2121]

nothing beats unplugged.

nirvana is amazing, but when he plays his songs on solo acoustic.

it really brings out his lyrics and voice much better.

i love acoustic nirvana !!

[Feriieeezzz]

it's not kurt cobain

[dressing81]

Guess he tuned his voice 1/2 step as well

[1221211221121221]

So dumb how so many ppl always go: thats not kurts normal voice, whenever hes not screaming his ass off in a rock concert... haha he's just singing a little softer, it sjsut his normal voice

[astrovan14]

was he ever not?

[lolroot]

and no this is from ''SLIVER'' which came out in 2005/

[lolroot]

of course its him I have the cd in which is this song!!!

[blindfaith138]

didnt you read the top corner

[blindfaith138]

how do you not realize this is kurt havent you heard the box set with the lights out this is on there this is a radio appereance and besides that kurt had a really distinct voice any real fan can tell this is him

[Hamsun79]

i bet it is him..;)

[Ambestock]

That is NOT!!!!!!! Kurt Cobain

[wowguy217]

Actually, it is Kurt. It's from the Nirvana Box set, "with the lights out", wich you would have know if you had read the description.

[godverdommekutkutkut]

The guy was so depressed you can hear it good voice but strance that nobody could help when he sang he wanted to die. He wasn't exactlly hidding it

[shinte12]

Not he is not kurt cobain..

[PullingTeeth1]

shut up...

[AlexLarionov]

Is it realy Kurt ?

[barneyscousin]

yes

[otterman194]

definately kurt....this was before they finished this song

[me412fan]

aw man y didnt he do the whole song

[michaelmcguire93]

he hadnt wrote the whole song at this point i imagin...

[halambacka]

shut up dumbass kurt cobain is one of THE BEST SINGERS EVER.

[immeluschi]

haha^^

[Hellspawn456]

Lol he says Yahey instead of yeah, I like it

[AlanSouzaVideos]

This version sounds great, they should have included this song on the set list from the Unplugged album. That would be cool, but "With the Lights Out" and "Sliver: The best of the box" are good places too.

[LilC2012]

If you don't think that's Kurt singing, then you must have only listened to smells like teen spirit

[LibraAnne]

@LilC2012 LOL! Love your comment! *Smile*

[cheats59]

@LilC2012 yup pretty much this is a great song love this version more execpt for the course.

[MrCobain94]

@LilC2012 agree

[lotaswaguer]

heeeheheheeee-yeeeeeeeeeiiiiii­i...-yeiii jajajaj

cool

[wowguy217]

yea you retards stracrossed is tottaly right, its with the "with the light out" box set,my brother has it so uhh yea, its totally kurt

[StarcrossedPacific]

oh my god, just buy the with the lights out dvd, this song is on cd 2 track 2. this is definetly and 100% kurt, how can you not recognize his voice? just because he sings the "yeah" differently then he did later?

[71mm3y]

hahaha

yeah.. thats not kurt for sure

but its a really good cover tho..

you can clearly hear that this is not his voice.

[18Scarecrow]

youre wrong dude. its kurt 100%

this, and many other songs are on the With the Lights Out box set. he recorded alot of their hits on boomboxes and such before the real versions were ever made.

you should check out the solo rare version of Old Age with the two intros.. i didnt think it was him at first but its one of my favorites now

and im not trying to be a dick or anything because you were mistaken. just tellin it like it is..

i reccomend the box set, if you like nirvana

[grungerocks5055]

i must agree with 71mm3y, i'm pretty sure that's not cobain, he has a way deeper and rougher voice.

[gerbilstar]

mhmm..

doesn't sound like Kurt...

Good cover though..

[19Heights89]

It is Kurt bro. its a home recording. I Ordered a Sliver greatest hits album(er something like that). it was on there as home recording

[gerbilstar]

ohh well I dont know..

I usually recognize his voice.

and its not the yeah part thats making me think it isnt him..

its the whole song.

but sounds good though(:

[JRFproductions]

This was Kurt recording by himself without any editing or overdubbing. So of course his voice isn't as low (especially without Krist and Dave screaming into their mics with him)
