Kurt was sappy because he was a negative creep,he loved to drain you with all his songs and trap you inside his heart-shapped box,but he dies and he went on a love buzz to a Lake of fire!
about the scream, my theory is that he just let himself go so much and scream as if he was all alone - as powerful as it sounds in my opinion it is the ultimate showcase of vulnerability, high emotions.
that scream is fucking mind bending how in gods name did he do that? and make it sound so good too... AdrianvonZiegler is right, fucking best voice ever
This must have been one of Kurt's favorite songs, seems like he always give a 100% on this one and never makes fun of it. really nice version love it thanks for sharing!
i read Kurt's journals, even though i knew they were anti-establishment it is an amazing experience to see how much the abstraction of the lyrics hid his complete disdain for jock america,
more relevant than ever and a better artist than most would understand
When Kurt first starts singing it reminds me a bit of Billy Childish, but then the vocals change into his unique tone. Great video, thanks for putting it up.
This version of spank thru is fantastic. Its fast, raw, highly emotional and energetic. This is nirvana at their best before Kurt lost his passion for it though the man is a total legend. His scream in this version by far the best scream ever heard on a song in the entire universe.
@jamesnincross You gotta be kidding me man sheeeit dave grohl can and will out drum chad channing anyday if dave was an asshole (which hes not) thye could have a drum off
@jamesnincross if dave grohl had not come along, Smells like teen spirit and brred would have never been nearly as good, same for pay to play/stay away. By the way check out Dave's drumming on something int the way at the beehive nevermind recod debut show. now, chad cant drum like that
@jamesnincross I do agree though, some songs like paper cuts and sifting did fit chads style more than daves, but thats about it and they really didnt even play those songs too much after chad
I dont get why everyone says krist has been with nirvana from the start because it started off cobain and crover just because they had a name change doesnt mean fecal matter is a different band
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
fecal matter wasnt the name of the band and ummm u sorta left out buzz osborne cuz hes the one that introduced krist to kurt at a melvins practice and kurt made the fecal matter demo to get krist in the band
yeah fecal matter was the name of the band at one point they went through various names until kurt made nirvana the official name of the band.
and I think you got that twisted because im pretty positive they didnt just make fecal matter to impress kris,t krist WAS impressed by it when he heard it but it wasnt made just for him I didnt say anything about how kurt and krtist met either so I dont know where you got that but its cool to know
ya it was at a melvins practice session well nirvana was like all sorts of names like brown towel, brown cow i think, and ted ed fred was there last name before nirvana and dave grohl came from scream and dain bramage
But yes they were. Nevemind was a huge commercial success. They had music videos, radio airtime, all that stuff. They were the world's most popular band of any kind of genre of any kind of music to exist.....well, pretty much.
Technically they were commercial, but literally they weren't. Their lyrics were never watered down just so they could be a commercial success. People just excepted Nirvana for who they were and the talent they had
@SillyMusic97 they never neccesarily wanted to be famous to begin with and then when they actually did become famous they loathed the shit out of their fame
@skate26boarder This is not totally true. In fact, anything I've read about Kurt would suggest that he wanted to be successful and even embraced a little bit of commercialism. That's exactly why they signed to Geffen Records. I'm pretty sure that Nirvana, especially Kurt, didn't totally expect to be as big and famous as they became. I'm sure they knew they had it in them to become more than just an indie band, but Nevermind took a life of it self and that's why people talk about it today.
@House38500 I actually agree with you. Whether or not he thought he would knock Michael Jackson off the charts is one thing. And whether or not he thought Nevermind would go on to sell millions and millions of record is also a matter of discussion. I also believe that Nirvana, and even Kurt himself, wanted fame to some extent. Everything I've read about Kurt seems to point out that he desired to be in the spotlight to some extent. Maybe not the extent that he got, but he wanted to be famous.
chad was a true rock drummer, when a song comes on you can tell it is him. the boomy snare, the clicky kick drum and the big dead toms... pure finesse.
yeah i think thats the best way to put it. one of my all time favorite Nirvana moments is in Scoff at about 1:13 during the bridge thingy before the verse, when the whole band just explodes, especially Chad, with his kick-ass double bass usage and crashing cymbals
