Making of the "Smells like teen spirit" video

[Paramore1961]

Kurt cobain will be reminded always by that music

[0zziefan]

Over the Edge is one of the best teen films ever! So glad Nirvana were such big fans of it too!

[lurch321]

Samuel Bayer was Matt Mahurin's assistant before he set out on his own; hence, both Sam's and Matt's vids have similar tones (eg. Matt did Metallica's Unforgiven and R.E.M.'s Orange Crush, to name a few).

[DarkLordNagash]

KFC = Kurt Fucking Cobain.

[NuggetPumpkin]

Sam Bayer actually seems like a pretty decent guy. I think in the book Come As You Are, the band kind of made him out to be a dickhead. Maybe he was when they were making the video, but yeah, he seems pretty humble and laid back in this interview.

[LuisRamirez666]

Why Nirvana is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

[metfreak81]

@LuisRamirez666 in order to be eligible to be inducted into the rock hall,it has to be at least 25 years since the bands first album

[LuisRamirez666]

@metfreak81 awwww really? thats sad. thanks for your answer!

[geezerbill]

@LuisRamirez666, I don't think it's "sad". The RnRHoF's rule of 25 years still makes sense to me, because it eliminate bands that might be popular today but forgettable tomorrow. It's not like Nirvana is the only hand who's had to wait; lots of other bands got inducted only in very recent years because of the same rule: Metallica, REM, Talking Heads, Run DMC...

[anavrin91]

@LuisRamirez666 they will be in 2013 or 2014 together with a few other bands from the 90s. i think maybe green day :/

[PivotMakeranimations]

@LuisRamirez666 Rock n Roll Hall of Fame said they will be in 2014, it needs to be a 25 year old+ good band to go to the Hall of Fame

[fuckthisc1ty]

@PivotMakeranimations rhcp are on the hall of fame

[coffeechrist4]

Kurt hates this song....

I love it :P !

[monsterinyourpocket]

@coffeechrist4 A lot of people say he hated the song but he said in an interview that he was just sick of playing it. I don't know how anybody could not like it tbh.

[xXSIRxMACXx]

That guy does all the Green Day videos :)

[ThePaczki]

Over The Edge . . . brilliant.

[PBANDSNOW]

Fuck mormonism

[bekcs]

is this that sam bayer guy, or whatever?

[CTE0895]

boom

[Balllergirl14]

pearl jam is way better than nirvana. sorry to tell ya guys but pearl jam is still going. and kurt blew his head off so SUCKS FOR U!!!!!!!

[sadlybadlyy3]

@Balllergirl14 wait what? pearl jam is good but how many hit singles do they have...3?

[Niggyomama]

@Balllergirl14 cool story bro.

[xXLazarus23Xx]

@Balllergirl14 That's your opinion, but if you believe Kurt killed himself you're just another tool.

[reterdy165]

@Balllergirl14 ya no wat fuck u man the police dident actualy know if he killed him self the just asumed so fuck off u little lady ga ga fan and one more thing if u dont like nirvana then why wast ur time commenting one this video

[kermicheo]

@Balllergirl14 go be a troll somewhere else. notice that nobody else is agreeing with you. I guess you just love getting hatemail huh?

[MrCobains1fan]

@Balllergirl14 really ? because even eddie vedder said that kurt was amazing and that he loved nirvana, eddie was devastated by kurts death

please do not troll

[shannonmalone]

@Balllergirl14 What are you 15? At least Nirvana fans are not illiterate...

[natester44]

@Balllergirl14 Bieberfag

[CrossCheckCharlton]

nirvana is a good band. but kurt cobain is the most overrated artist of the 90's

[whoareyou231]

@CrossCheckCharlton Yeah Fucking Rite!

[Drewer123]

@CrossCheckCharlton he pretty much inspired the 90s to be what it was...so no...not really.

[BACKWARDSVOMIT]

@CrossCheckCharlton You are the worlds biggest dumbshit!

[okcameronfilms]

As a filmmaker myself, the story made me tear up. Amazing opportunity realized. Thank you Kurt!

[shroomslawrence]

happy b-day kurt :D

we miss you , but youlle never leave our heart

20/feb.

WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

[ENC13ROX]

@TheGriff45

Kurt Fucking Legend Cobain

[Duman328]

why kurt? we love you sooooo muchhhh!!!!

[BACKWARDSVOMIT]

@Duman328 Um...ask Courtney.

...No, really it's because he never felt he fit in, he never wanted fame. Music (and heroin) are the only things that kept him alive.

[Pato88888]

amazing how it actually changed his life

[ewandanny]

i never saw this..thanks!

[believergrace]

I remember when this video first came out when I was 18, this was the coolest Band/Video/Song ever!!! Everyone was blown away, we had never seen anything like it.

My brother Jacob loved them....

[skromadlp82]

If I had been in that video, THAT WOULD HAD BEEN THE MOST AMASING THING IN THE WORLD, being in a nirvana´S BEST video!!!

[Kurt0316]

i love KURT

[Aviblut]

2:18 - Jesus flag?! It's not in the official video?

[RideMyBMW]

Justice for Kurt :(

[MyBarret50]

i salute this man....because he made one of the greatest music videos known to man

[MagCynic]

The more I learn about Kurt the more I realize he was sort of a pussy and had an aversion to work. Really? You don't wanna put a 12 hour day of work in to make millions? Poor baby.

[Avzzor]

@MagCynic He didnt care about the money, he didnt care about his looks.. he wanted to make HIS music

idiot

[natebohnet]

@MagCynic hey bud incase you forgot kurt wasnt in the music industry to make money, be famous. or work on a music video... in the studio when it came to actually recording the songs he put everything into it and worked his ass off.... for a music video hell ya he has a right to not want to do several takes, he just wanted the video done so he could write and perform his music

[merocket]

this dude is like stuttering john...

[ollecarlsson]

its pretty easy to say "I dont care how I look like" when youre the most handsome dude on earth : /

[fuckinggameaddict]

Kurt rest in piece!!!!!!!! we love you!!!!

[yoshi2612]

the grates song in musical history!

[manhuntruler2]

legends...

[JNC00000]

Legend

[gamerjunkie28]

YOU PEOPLE ARE RETARDED! how would u feel if your husband,your wife, OR your best friend killed themselves? YEAH now imagine how it would be if stupid people said that u killed that person. COURTNEY IS INNOCENT

[pu4pk3rs]

i've always loved that since i was a kid that he played the solo how he does on the video, wow.. :) x

[NatashaWatters]

sorry i meant samuel bay the director

[TTOMO]

Samuel Bayer

[DavidFUBB]

where did you take this video? from which dvd?

[gargoyle217]

its funny as hell how much kurdt hated this video

[NatashaWatters]

kurts fave film "Over the Edge' thou kurt didnt like michael bay much during the shoot LOL

[StabbyFork]

ya. he later said he did not like this music video. but his fans loved it.

[mystro810]

yeah, well , the guy just happended to direct the greatest music video in the history of mankind

[777jackpot1]

FAGGET

[mystro810]

@777jackpot1 fuck off moron

[Walaument]

@mystro810 One of the best videos. Heart-Shaped Box is the greatest video of all time.

[RideMyBMW]

One video, one song, one album. Ya just gotta respect that sh%$. Dont care who the fu&% you listen to...

[jackblacksutube]

he shot up so much in order to numb himself of the gun shot.

[Anneurysm]

god, it makes you want to cry. what a fucking loss.

[reagan9284]

I love you ...Cobain!!!

[reagan9284]

Kurt could never kill himself because of us....fans

[react32]

stop arguin if he killed himself or not, arguing will do nothing, someone will always disagree with u so just let him rest in peace

[react32]

stop arguing about if kurt killed himself or not,  no matter how much arguing u do many will disagree with you, arguing about it will settle nothing, let kurt rest in peace

[MansonFan64]

1st of all Kurt had enough heroin in his system to kill him 3 times. He couldn't have pulled the trigger let alone lift the gun. 2nd of all if he were to kill himself I think he would have done it in a way that would leave a peaceful image for Frances. :/ that's my two cents

[koolaidkarl]

heroin doesn't go into full effect right as you injerct it, it has to get in your blood stream. let kurt rest already.

[graffam93]

ur fucking retarded theres proof he died of the gun shot wound yeah there was enough heroin in his system to kill him but that was back up incase the shot didnt kill him

[Anneurysm]

as much as i hate courtney love (MAJOR DISDAIN), anyone who has been addicted to opiates knows that no matter how long you've been clean, you forever changed your brain chemistry & tolerance intake. he could totally shoot himself after a big shot. but to the person above, it does hit your system pretty fast, you taste the vapor as it goes in your vein as with any injected drug. he just had a super high tolerance.

[DMDevote]

kurt was on heroin every single day since he blew up, he was even on it before he got all the fame. there's this thing called a tolerance that ppl build on drugs, and what he shot up before the "suicide" was prolly his normal dosage. (BTW, the scientists or w/e said it was 3 times the amount to kill a regular person, not someone with such a huge tolerance that kurt had...

[amandaleefer]

@DMDevote Actually I read in a book that the amount he had in his system was actually about a seventy time lethal dosage to a regular person without a tolerance to it, it was 3 times a lethal dosage to somebody with his tolerance level. That was from the book "love and death."

[demolitionman4ever]

That theorys been tested by some doctor somewhere.they injected the amount Kurt had into someone and he could walk or move or whatever and didnt die.

Everyones different but Kurt had a junkies dream 4 a bank account so id beleive he had a massive tolerance to it .And as for the peaceful image maybe he jus wanted a sure thing

[MansonFan64]

tha'ts a good theory but i just still don't believe he killed himself.

[swiv2d]

i hate this vid it just had a dirty feel about it becoming mainstream music

[wookieonacid]

i dont care about anyones opinion about the band, cobain had a very artist and experimental way of doing things as this video shows.

[oneandonlyful]

he shot himself 2 along with a heroin o/d

[hockeytard3650]

Uh, no. Do some research, he was murdered.

[unluckyamp]

wow you guys are fucking douch bags nirvana is the best band ever also he didnt cut himself he died on a od so stfu

[assasin3494]

You know whats funny the Foo Fighters are better than Nirvana at least dave grohl didnt cry about shit. they have more hits and everything thats how you know nirvana sucks.

[endlessnamless420]

dude just shut up people are gonna like nirvana and others will hate it so what get a life

[Babysts]

no!!nirvana was only 7 years and made so many exellent songs and metallica 26 years made so many exellent song but there are songs worst than on nirvana!

[pleasetypehereplease]

Hes the directer of American Idiot by Green Day. Also the Nevermind producer is the 21st Centruary Breakdown producer

[assasin3494]

they only made 2 or 3 hits. and kurt kobain didnt do anything he is not no god

[parkerman93]

fuck you!!!!!!!!!! kurt cobain was amazing and nirvana was the best band of the 90's

ur a dumbass

[assasin3494]

i bet he was a real hero to you for like 4 years you probably werent even born when the the video first came out. METALLICA IS WAY BETTER THAN SOME WRISTCUTTING SHIT.

[Babysts]

i love metallica and nirvana but i understand that nirvana better!!

[b0w13nspac3]

dude he never cut his wrists man, and even if he did that wouldnt make him ane worse than hetfield

[assasin3494]

thats why he killed himself. im sorry thats worst that cutting your wrist.

Whats the difference between emo grass and normal grass?

Emo grass cuts itself. LOL

[assasin3494]

i know killing yourself is way worse.

[carpetmucher9]

i will agree he isn't a a god, but he was pretty good entertainer

[skwaab]

GOD!!!!!!!,

Such a fuckin droney american voice!!

so god damn boring and annoying

:'(

[konheeed]

an excellent video that inspires

[ChloePuffz]

Sam Bayer....didn't he direct some Green Day shit?

[SoundOfAShark]

yep

[brandonferrazzi]

i heard this guy was a dick the hole time and kurt had 2 fite with the final edit of his face

[Spoons15322]

I love the Jesus blanket.

[alexmilnes]

kerslake is a moron..he never seen nirvana at the roxy because they never played there ffs

[bleachfan7747]

how would u know?

dumbshit

[brandonferrazzi]

thats not kerslake its bayer

[happytons]

hye amigo donde puedo encontrar este dvd o me puedes correr e nombre de el dvd gracias anda chido

[fuckthisc1ty]

what the fuck is tha a jesus flag lmao wow at 2:23

[darkanel666]

03:40 aunque Kurt no quería que le plagiaran su solo, "Smell Like Teen Spirit" es la canción mas versionada por las bandas de garage.

[elektrotubbie]

Pero se puede sacar a oído. así lo hice yo y no es para nada difícil. Lo hizo nomás para demostrar que no le importaba cómo saliera.

[tim21beau]

sam bayer :)

legend

[RaNDoMx160]

breed and stay away are the best nirvana songs in my opinion

[tfcbart]

wow..no wonder he didnt like SLTS...jesus, he had to play it like a million times...haha, i'd do the same thing!

[syscothong]

What is this from?

[jayotto123]

Classic Albums: Nirvana Nevermind

its a DOC on how they made the album, its really intresting

[sydbarrett5]

Have you seen the others in the classic albums series? They're great! I like when they talk with the producers and they show what the individual tracks sound like.

[carpetmucher9]

i am gunna buy this dvd cuz of how good it is

[fladgyglitz]

Sam Bayer. Long time no see man.

TS

[CobainGears2FTW]

I think their best song is On A Plain or You Know You're Right

[PoliceA404]

I'll strongly agree with you on that one

[dumpweed69]

i agree! those are some great songs man.

[vtec82]

i have yet to see another definitive sounding band in todays era. and its both a good and bad thing.

[mmb101]

wow, this is awesome. is this like on a dvd or something?

[flor150290]

yup

[dupersloby]

cheeerleaders = real porn stars

[Leono182]

queria ver este video puse como se grabo smells like teen spirit pero me salio otro que era como se grabo el audio y eso pero este es el que queria gracias por subirlo :D

[Regset]

why did kurt hate making videos and recording so much? just wondering....good video though

[skate26boarder]

its not that he didnt hate recording he just didnt like double tracking

[invisibleheero]

smells like teen spirit and come as you are were the worst nirvana tracks and everyone loved it. because they aren't REAL fans. lol, personally all I can say is listen to their older stuff.

[Regset]

lol thats just opinion..i like them both personally but thats kool if you dont like it

[BlackOutSpesket91]

I have to disagree, smells like teen spirit and come as you are aren't their worst tracks but yes its dumb that people only like Nirvana for those songs. Personally my favorite nirvana song is Pen Cap Chew.

[mrtall1994]

my favorite is either serve the servants or drain you

[cnacios]

serve the servants?

[pomfret27]

does any one know where i can watch the original video? the one before Kurt flew down from Seattle and made the changes to it, because i really want to see it.

[maxelloneal2]

punk? i thought there grunge??(he said they wanted to be punk)

[a90zx]

well grunge is actually a label given to punks with a slight metal quality basicly just hard rock

[MontellPictures]

the director seems like a great guy, soo honest like.. confess that he had made some fuck ups in the video that kurt made better.. any other director would have been against that, and if it became a success, (like it did) they would take all the credit themself. its great. and really interesting!

[pomfret27]

interesting

[GermanGP088]

El mejor video

[snerl69]

I really feel like watching the video a little better

[PennyRoyaleTea]

I really dislike Samuel Bayer.

[KurtCobainLuver11]

IT'S JESUS!!!!!!

[lovelynative007]

awesome

[kewcyn]

i just can to say...

great...

nth more

[Collegelovr]

really cool to watch. Thanks!!

where is this from???

[nklslinde21]

Brilliant
