  • The House Band with Magni is 100x better than Supernova?... ;-)

  • I could listen to this over and over again Magni did it way better then Mig did

  • CAN I TURN THIS UP LOUDER PLEASE?

  • I think Kurt Cobain would like it, I'm serious. ( Or accept?) Cause this is more like a Tribute !

    There so many covers from Miley Cyrus (!) or other pop musicians at least they seem like they really feel the song!

  • at least this guys are rocker and not fags like taio cruz oder such "things"

  • Rolling Stone brought me here.

  • mark burnett apparently wanted season 3 to be Rock Star: Nirvana but i believe the band members turned it down out of respect for Kurt Cobain. Besides nobody could've replaced him...

  • Supernova might have actually made a comeback if they had chosen Magni....sooooo where is Supernova NOW// lmao...i haven't heard a DAMN thing about them since this show finished like 4 yrs ago...Magni is by far the best contestant that season.... anyways u pick a gay waiter from Hooters and you end up with Supernova's ummm "success"... and tommy lee really needs to stfu since he never knows what he's talking about...crack head

  • this is the best cover of smell like teen spirits

  • I know Magni! ( I'm from Iceland ). My dad is musician and they did a concert together :D They sang songs from queen :p

  • Best COVER EVER

  • One of the best covers of Smells like Teen Spirit.

  • no wonder the didnt go anywhere lmfao

  • Magni i was rooting for you from the start, too bad the best never wins!

    Loved this show, is there another season or smth?

  • se adelanto.. pero como es cover no hay pedo...

  • jason newstead hanging out with tommy lee?

  • He turned a completely nonsensical 'sludge' song into even more of a mess....oh dear

  • best cover ever.

  • why does best finalist in every competition doesnt win and the average finalist does...

  • hes way better than Lucas and any other Super Nova Rockstar contestant opps wait Dilana was awsome!

  • wtf...!!! now... thats a singer..!!!

  • 5/5 , magni shoulda won

  • Áfram Magni!

    Iceland FTW!

  • @TributeToon haha ísland sökkar

  • @EinhverGaur satt 

  • AMAZING!

  • This was a really amazing cover of the song! Incredible =D

  • he should have won

  • 1:30 - 1:39

  • fucking wake

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!­ yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­!

  • he was one of those guys who I didnt like at first... but he grew on me..I didnt think he should have won..would be a better choice then lucas obviously....but still I think he should come over to america with an album..he would do well

  • i really liked that

    vocally in special

    but i got to say the the best vocals in there was Dilana´s, without a doubt accually

  • tommy lee, and all the ppl couldnt use the name supernova so they used rockstar supernova, that is so fucking retarted. And they were all back up men in the band and they needed a flashy front man

  • I always loved Magni more than anyone. I wish he would have won.

  • dude this is the best cover of smells i've ever heard...nice one =]

  • @kurtcobain4evaneva Listen to lars erikssons cover :)

  • Comment removed

  • Nivana was a grunge band and they smashed their equipment all the time.

  • love the energy when it comes to chorus ...i though he gonna win ...but its all politics

  • anyone knows where I can get "It´s not about us" song from magni?? please, it´s in the name of love

  • hes sooo cute!!

    great cover im thinking!

    x<3x

  • best cover

  • i think also magni was sick when he sang this song so he did do a great job in this song:)

  • What's it with you haters?

    watch kurt cobain sing this live and then compare it to Magni's... He is often much better than Kurt Cobain. You are just comparing Magni with Kurt's studio version and Magni is singing this live...

  • Well alot of people think Kurt sucked live, I can't disagree although i like Kurts voice better then anyone's.

    But magni was sick here (you see it in those clips where you can see em living in that house altogether)

    So he was sick here.

    But i like it !

  • Woah are you high?

  • This is probably the best nirvana cover I've ever heard.

  • ice man :D

  • ok, before this song i listened to lucas sing lithium by nirvana and then this... god damn this is soooooo much better. What the hells with tommy... his comments are so inconsistent. first hes like, dont use a guitar then complete opposite.

  • magni is in a band called "á móti sól" and the drummer in the band is my teacher :D

  • r u serious bout the fact that the drummer is ur teacher

  • Ryan Star performed right after this and threw his guitar.

  • The chorus is okay, but the he's just trying too hard in the verse.

  • He's a good singer, but he doesn't have that raspy thing like kurt cobain. Anyway...

    He rocks!

  • NO ONE DOES!

  • 声が弱い。かっこ悪い。

  • Love the drummer, he's always great

  • u have great taste in music

  • he sang it good it parts but kurt is kurt no one matches it

  • i thought magni did great for a song that really doesn't match his type of voice at all. better than his creep, anyways.

  • I think this song isant Magni's voice type but besides that I think he did a pretty good job.

    I also love him in his tuuke XD

  • r u Canadian? i don't have anything against Canadians, it's just that i've only heard Canadians say tuke? just curious...as 4 Magni he rocked thru-out the show, he is & was simply amazing!

  • Yeah Im Canadian and kay thats good XD

    and hmmmmmmmmmmm.....

    and yesh Magni was by far extremely good!

    QUESTION: Why is theyre never his lastname?

  • his last name is like Asgeirson or something like that...but i guess Brooke didn't wanna risk butchering it or he just didn't want her 2 say it...cuz if u notice, she never says Dilana's full name either

  • Hmmmmmmmmm...

    Yeah i did notice and i always wondered.. But I thought they were embarresed or they didnt want people knowing for some reason..

    but yeah hmmmmmmm..

    I wish Magni and TObi Rand were final 2!

  • honestly if u put everything into consideration Toby was probably the best out of the final 4, especially in terms of song writing...if u watched the reality epi where the all have 2 write their original song b4 the perform it, Magni & Dilana kinda sucked @ song-writing...i have no idea y the band picked Lucas, he was the worst out of all 4 of them

  • I KNOW!

    I was shocked cuzz I was sure it would have been Tobi!!!

    I had three main favourites from it I liked Tobi,Magnee and Storm Large.

    Arent they all in a different band now?

  • yeah Magni's a solo artist...he actually has a myspace page...Toby's goin solo too i think...& Storm is back w/ her band: Storm Large and the Balls...honestly i don't really like any of their original music that much...it's pretty decent but in general it's pretty cliched stuff

  • and yup they all end in son here cuz his dads name is ásgeir so its ásgeirson...;P

  • beacause its diffrent here with the names in iceland some ppl have them,and some of the names would just be to strange for ya like my last name Örn hehe=)

  • Because his name is Guðmundur Magni Ásgeirsson. Of all that what can you pronounce? If you answered Magni, you're like the rest of us who are to befuddled to try.

  • hes like a really awesome version of M. Shadows from A7X

  • dis is awsome magni rocks!!!

  • he ruined the song becuz he made the lyrics pretty clear.......

  • nice

  • agreed.

  • magni rocks!!!!

  • agreed

  • y the fuck didn't he win the other guy never deserved to win

  • Excellent cover

  • Holy Shit, that's all I can say. freaking incredible. The way it starts is kinda bad, but that's the house band, not Magni

  • fucking awesome

  • ban3ro cause you can't sing or play nirvana doesn't give you the right to say some shit that isn't right.

    Magni is a great singer and he sang this song very good, well not as good as nirvana did but still.

    so stop be so jealous and enjoy

  • Maybe my friend can't play it, but I can, and I can tell you, I sing and play better than that asshole.

  • And what are you message board-posting, whiny bitch? Shut up.

  • Ask to anyone who really like rock music, anyone who likes Nirvana or even somebody who really knows about music, they will tell you that this shit suck, and if I complaining is because the band in the actual time are making stupid stuff like this, there is no more good band that care about the movement, so shut up ignorant bitch...

  • I'm a touring rock musician and i have every nirvana cd and i thought this was really good. so shut it ignorant bitch

  • I have all the Nirvana discography too, including the "Whit the lights out" Box set... maybe I am not making a tour because I don't start a band yet, I move of place and now I'm staying now in other city, but still, I play and sing nirvana songs better than this asshole, and even better, I am not makin' it for a tv. show, I will do it because in this place there is no a good tribute band if it... so sorry man, but I still standing about it.

  • hey buddy musicians that are good don't go around saying they are better than people. Maybe you'll figure that out when you get a little wiser in music.

  • Dude, believe me... I don't go around the world saying that.... and also I don't participate in TV saying that... or in a reallity crappy... and I can't say at all that I'm a musician, because I know that my way is very long to be a good one.. or one at all... but he isn't either... he just sing...

  • well you obviously are going around saying that, lying jerk

  • I'm not the only one... I'm sure that I don't think that way, only the sincere ones.I do not know why are you defending this asshole... maybe because you came from the same shit or you whine the same way you son of a bitch.

  • haha sure thing buddy, i hope you feel tough because you definitely don't act it

  • I don't need to feel like, I know that if in somw way I act like that in the future is because I earn ir, not because I feel it... if some day i become a real musician, not like this dillhole, I know that I will be real and good.But I think that it will be better that I finish my career because that will be better,

  • Wow your word choice, spelling and grammar is just awful, maybe read a book once an awhile and stop jerking off your dog.............say hi to him for me by the way.

  • Jerking of a dog? how old are you,nine? Maybe I have a bad grammar because I don't practice english like my languaje,but I can tell you something that even you will understand:You know I'm right asshole.Grow up.Maybe you're just a 16 years old ass who don't have a life and his only way to have friends is watching this kind off asslick t.v.show.Mature and get life.And by the way,say hi to your mother by me.Tell her that she gave birth to a stupid kid and should kill herself with a fuckin spoon.

  • you're just digging yourself a grave dude.

  • Like the one that your mom should be diggin' to you?.. sorry man, you started it... go and play with some legos and listen to real music please, and stop fuckin' around.

  • oh yesa masa i'll never have an opinion different from yours ever again. jackass

  • Man I will stop this shit, it doen't word it... you're just a dipper fuller son of a bitch who like argument on web because he want to defend his imaginari friend and appears like he will not stop because he is such an asshole who doesn't know the meaning of "cut the bullshit"... it isn't a surrender note... it is just a fucked up note saying that i'm tired of people like you..I just hope that your head full of manure can have some good seed on it.. but fo what I saw lately, it will be dificult.

  • So have a nice life drowning up with your own shit and.. fuck off... And this stupid idiot suck and ruin this memorable song... i hope he die to.

  • sweet use of obscenities, you just made yourself sound 10 times dumber.

  • because in this days and in this future, artist should be in a crappy tv show like this or stupid people like you will be defend it like if their lifes depend on it... i better play the guitar in a bar and live with tips, I know is more sincere taht sell my ass and become a great stupid like you.

  • puro glamour no me gusta

  • not bad, not good either, yet still

    R I P  kurt

  • Verses=really bad

    Chorus=AWESOME!!!

  • no u got that the wrong way, verses good, chrous bad. Musically that band sucked.

  • Isnt that bad.. not the best cover ever, but at least isnt crap like the guy that sings "creep" or the girl with the "bring me to live" cover...

  • its better than your spelling, DOOD!

  • It's obvious that he's not gonna sound like Kurt Cobain, but he did good. I've seen others trying to sing this song and they sucked at it.

  • kurt cobain's die hard fans neeed to step outside their own head 'cause this sounds good. It was a good cover, great voice!

  • it shows what's the difference between voices of kurt cobain and others... nobody can do better justice to his songs... nice try but curt is forever...

  • the words: trying. too. hard. come to mind

  • wow, no emotion whatsoever in this cover...these guys are just a bunch of wannabe rocker sellouts/backstreet boy

  • Magni is on Iceland now, and gave out an album not so long ago

  • Now seriously..

    Remind me again why the crappy Canadian won? (I'm Canadian.. Seriously long live Canadian sings etc.)

    I'd like to know where Magni is now..

  • Few months ago he tried to represent Iceland in a Eurovision (a european song festivel) but lost Iceland´s final.

  • where's the goddamn moshpit? pussycrowd.

    love his voice

  • ese tipo apesta cantando SMELL ¬¬ prefiero mil veses a esta TORI AMOS uff esa si le da vida a esta cancion!

  • When he first started singing I thought that I was going to hate it, but he won me over on the chorus. That's a damn powerful voice!

  • Magni is a god.

  • hey he is not kurt he is singin this song in his way and he sounds great

  • i pretty sure kurt is rolling in his grave right now people just shouldnt be allowed to cover nirvana!!!!!!!! fuck courtney love for allowing this

  • The best and sexiest version!! Funnier than Al Weird's cover!!

  • this is probably the best cover I've heard

  • i think im going to kill myself...

  • good for you.

  • i agree wid dat dude^

  • go magni go iceland go me

  • damn, that riff still manages to energize me after all these years

  • it really pisses me off when people complain about how he ruined the song, i think this was one of the best covers i've heard.

  • GOD this guy is fucking bad, sounds like hes scrambling to find the right pitch the whole song

    Go back to moving boxes at Wal-Mart

  • the verse is ok but the chorus is amazing still nowere nere kurt cobain but he didnt screw it up

  • best voice among all the rest

  • i love the house band especially the drummer

  • I know the house band is f*cking awesome, they should be the next season, hell their good

  • totally, is there going to be another season though?...

  • No, I know people who worked on the show and they said there definitly won't be another season of Rockstar

    :[

  • Depressing....

  • I love this song, and I love how we did it.

    I'm also a big Nirvana fan, and with extreme respect to Kurt Cobain, this guy pulled it off.

  • Elmoiscreepy FUCK OFF

    he was so fukin good

  • well maybe you should clean the wax out of your ears and listen to some real music, because this guy sucks

  • are u saying nirvana sucks because srry but ur wrong and ive got a ten platinum album to prove it

  • im very happy for you

    and no im not saying nirvana sucks, they're my favorite band..but listening to this guy makes me want to bash my brains in because he cant sing

  • YES I am in complete agreement with this guy, and I'll say it again, Im so fucking glad Led Zeppelin doesnt allow their songs to be used like this, these people are murdering these fucking songs!

  • Dude that is Bad ass The original is of course still better but this one is pretty good

  • omg hes so good, im from iceland =) =) =)

  • what a fuckin great voice!

  • another stupid tv program and another great rock n' roll classic goes to the trash....

  • if u guys actually watched all of the shows he said tht he played tht song while he had a cold so of course he was going 2 sound a little shitty

  • i agree

  • magni is a GOD.

  • ...no

  • i don't like this by any means, but it's sadly better than most of the songs they do. He also got the lyrics right, so props for that? lol

  • wow

  • magni rules.

  • Cereal box crap! Too much vibrato. He should stick to the off Broadway scene where that kind of whiney crap passes for singing. Lets cover an overly commercialized song for an overly fake and processed show! Nice touch stumbling at the end with that fake-ass trance look on his face after performing a single song. Stupidity IS contagious.

  • well said and The guitar effect for the wishy-washy chorus part is more of a watery riff using a harmonic modulation pedal. And how the hell did he have "angst" he didn't even play the guitar.and they all act like experts on every single band thats also done better than all of their bands...whats going on with "supernova" now? Nothing. No one was worthy to be considered the next great band on that show...just pop sell outs...singing a song that came up from being dirt poor. I praise your comment

  • newsted is the only pro in the judges

  • This guy rocks. if your band can't play a descent nirvana song ,its not rock.

  • Dude, that really hurts!! Why don't people just stop to cover nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit? It's pathetic... Kurt Cobain is one of a kind, no one can make a decent cover of his Smells Like teen spirit...

  • Man, shut up! Dude should you do this on a stage for about millions people i USA?! Just realize he rock this song man! But sure Kurt was a one of a kind but people can cover all other songs so why not this one?!

  • this is an awesome cover of his song. magni gives hella emotion and heart in the song. he sounds just as good or better than cobain. rip kurt

  • is damn out the rythm, the song gets creepy this way... damn

  • ouch, that hurt just listening to that crap, But in all fairness, its hard to do a good version of this song if your last name isn't Cobain ;)

  • WTF xD
