Weezer - Aneurysm (Nirvana cover)

[fartinazoodle]

weezer can't write and peforn good songs on their own so i don't know why i thought their covers would be good.

[mance02]

Yeaahh, NOPE! Get me, GIVE me Nirvana. How can 3 men sound louder and heavier than 4? Weird, strange?

[tootoot123]

@mance02 obviously this was a shitty recording dude

[americuhh]

yeah, goat punishment! lmao.

[juggalocoss]

i dont like it, good try

[adamnoellsch]

To me it sounds like the song starts are a little faster tempo, but the singing is behind and slows the whole thing down.....

[Littbarski14]

STOP THE WEEZER

[nevershoutstacey]

there's actually a small group of people who believe kurt isnt dead and he's actually living as the lead singer of weezer.

very strange.

.....that fact had nothing to do with anything. just felt the need to say that.

[GetYourSelfAbeer]

I know someone said that people that don't appreciate nirvana's covers actually don't appreciate nirvana either,but hell no.

All I get here is the guitar and the bass and yeah,it is fuckin heavy.And I'm liking it.

The voice is just too weak for a cover like this one,the drummer is probably confused and this whole version misses the anger,the passion,the whatever.

sould have been filthier.just ain't workin

[RS9291]

@GetYourSelfAbeer The vocals aren't "weak" it's just that it's too clean, not that it's bad or anything but it's different, the original has more screaming something that Weezer doesn't do that often, the drummer was in rhythm and doesn't sound that different, but ya without the rough vocals it doesn't sound as angry, not trying to argue or anything just giving an opinion

[vinnybk1017]

i like weezer and i love nirvana but this doesnt compare to the smile empty soul cover of this song.

[somuchdirt74]

For the people saying that they did something wrong or doesn't sound exactly like it, dont trash talk it. Im not even a weezer fan but they didnt do bad and any cover is not supposed to sound the same really what would be the point then? Although I believe a cover should have some characteristics as the original and they did that here. Good Cover

[TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND]

@somuchdirt74 Well said mate,bang on! I don't think a drummer trying to do an exact cover could get it that wrong it's impossible and if you listen to it it's got it's own bit of Weezeresque style thrown in because as you rightly said what would be the point then, I mean it,s not exactly difficult to reproduce a Nirvana Track! They said it themselves "these are simple songs, just like the nursery rhyme's you listened to when your a kid"! So nice remix!

[clavis001]

wow i have to agree, im not a weezer fan at all but this cover is good. you peeps should listen to adema's version of nutshell. amazing

[laylalaylady]

@enthnd03 Dave Grohl actually has a writing credit for this song so what exactly are you talking about? I was just on another Weezer video and you were talking about Minor Threat being emo...you can't get anything right, can you?

[srekazinskas]

the cover is really good but the voice needs more chaos and power

[Nirvana4everman]

Way too go Weezer

[MellowDramaticable]

so much more respect for weezer especially to cover the songs they did like mr. mustachio

[BlackTreeRomania]

@MellowDramaticable mr mustachio lol

[arayapokey]

Saw this in the related videos, and came to hate on it because I'm not fond of Weezer, but this is actually a great cover.

[Lenjaful]

I didn't know weezer was such a nirvanafan :O

[charles11552]

weezer kicks ass man. and so does nirvana.

[johncerasi]

I'm not a big fan of all these Nirvana covers Weezer did.

[elg676]

Well every band has their own interpretation of the music. I liked this cover

[mynameisedable]

this fags play it to fast an not even close to nirvana

[lorndarken]

@mynameisedable there is various ways to play aneurysm , kurt use to play it fast sorta like this at some of his shows , and in other shows waaaaay slow and then normal how it is in incesticide and the smells like teen spirit single ,

[LongviewGD182]

@mynameisedable 1)It's not cool to be a homophobe

2)In punk/grunge there is no such thing as too fast

3)The point of a cover is to give a new interpretation of the song.It would be just boring if it sounds exactly like the original

4)If you really really really want the sound of the original-there is a fucking searchbar up there.Type in "Nirvana-Aneurysm" and listen to it

[CityLoch]

@LongviewGD182 lol @"cool"

[boispanner]

ouh c'mon for fucks sake it's a freakin cover by another band.....beats the fuckin purpose of a cover if it sounds the fuckin same so stop bitchin bout how fucked up the drums sounded or whatever.....just give it a fuckin listen n if u dun like it, there's a fuckin x on the top right of this window n u can get the fuck off.....dumbasses...

[ihatehardchairs]

@boispanner 7

[johnmorisi8]

weezer is so awesome

[dogpetdog]

they did a good job matching the guitar sound from the original

[airwalkcrazy360]

drums suck here.

[ritter89]

Awful. Sounds like the Bay City Rollers. Someone shoot him and put him out of his misery. Nirvana looks/sound simple until you try it, just like the Stones live. Screaming at the top of your lungs while remaining in key with the music ain't easy. Cuomo should go back to his dorky Kiss T shirts and Buddy Holly songs.

[Mohammets]

@ritter89 Funny you should mention the Bay City Rollers. Kurt loved the Bay City Rollers.

[originalsoundjunky]

great cover - great homage to the band...

[nirvanamkp]

great cover. rivers cumo is a great singer.

[zofodraziweht]

A cover version is not meant to be an exact replica of the original. It is your version of another artists song. If you want the original play it on your fucking stereo.

[Rinoa242]

Keep your hands off of Nirvana! No one ever can bring these songs the way they should be!

My God theis SUCKS!!!

[ternalator]

not bad...especially considering its a cover

[moonlily1]

Hmm, Weezer can't really pull off the angst. Or the screaming. This is a mediocre cover.

[julioknd]

the attualy emos are shit. Here in Brazil Where are terribles. the now emo is big glasses,gay pants and gay hair. the 90's is diferent. And weezer was never emo.

[bigerch85]

weezer do great nirvana covers!!!

[airwalkcrazy360]

Wow, the drummer failed on this song so terribly bad....

[newpollution22]

well, considering the band, this is a pretty good cover. weezer just wasent ment for a song like this, or even a great artist like kurt cobain. not saying weezer is no good, just saying they're not ment for this song.

[lickapotato]

@newpollution22 you guys should really listen to some pinkerton before you diss weezer for not being angry.... that album is the definition of angst

[10ccalanarkush]

@lickapotato sure, only it was angst about shitty adolescent garbage angst. why won't that hot asian girl like me???!!?

cobain's on the other hand was about living in a trailer park, the shame and ignominy of waiting in line for food stamps, sleeping in hallways. Ya know, real problems.

Give me a break about Pinkerton being angsty.

[DangoTeff]

@10ccalanarkush i agree with you but no of that happened to any of the nirvana members.

[packysmatt21]

hate weezer

[TheDavelopan]

@packysmatt21 why?

[packysmatt21]

@TheDavelopan they started emo, and i just dont like the music, but idk i know emo was different back in the 1990s, but theres just something about emos nowadays, i hate them

[stude444]

@packysmatt21 Yeah, theres one thing wrong with that, emo is people who are over emotional, and write sad lyrics about death and shit, almost all of weezers songs were pretty cheery, just because it has guitar in it doesnt make it emo.

[mastrtimtom]

good cover the voice need to be a little more hard :)

[PartyAllTheTimee]

His voice is't rough enough :s

But it's still a good cover (:

[ericdanzig13]

nirvana's face tell it all

[inael]

@ericdanzig13 lol good comment!

Altough i like this cover a bit 6/10

[tom14able]

fuck weezer

[jackblacksutube]

its cause cobain had a raunchy voice.... by that i mean his sounded ruff.... thats why it sounds some what lacking

[SharpTongueMonster]

No one, I repeat, NO ONE will ever do a cover of nirvana and live up to them by doing it. But its out of respect for the artist and for the love of doing what they do.

[austinmn95]

nirvana is better

[staphinfection]

It's the vocals that suck here... The music is spot on... the vocals are without emotion and drag the song down.

[astrojunker]

is not like kurt was beethoven or wagner but there sure is something in it that weezer just dont get in this cover...

[rosaleschristopher]

Notice Grohl's face as he listens to the drums. WACK

[JoellyMoley]

Like all the people bitching about this cover. Like Nirvana's work is somehow sacrosanct. xD

[TheFins15]

they fucking ruined it

[acountsandsuch]

I'm sure Kurt is rolling in his grave from all your hateful comments. Don't act so high and mighty. The members of Weezer are as much Nirvana fans as you and I. This is a TRIBUTE BAND. It's a TRIBUTE to a band long gone. Show some goddamn respect.

[facethruster138]

i like when a singer keeps his own style covering a song, cause its stupid trying to replicate a voice cause it'll always fall short

[Mayfinder]

How is this such a bad cover?

I mean, musically everything but the drums is pretty much the same, and the drums just dont have some of the routine fills.

As for the singing, its fucking Rivers Cuomo, dont bitch about that, thats how he sounds, and noone has or ever will have a perfectly replicated Kurt Cobain voice.

[alexcobain90]

Beat me out a me

[RushHourTraffic]

Rivers Cuomo is Kurt Cobain.

[KurdtKobain09]

Didn't kurt like weezeR?

[roguepenguin1994]

@KurdtKobain09, Their deput album was released after Kurt died. So i doubt it.

[sillywamosir]

@KurdtKobain09 : dude, it's the other way around, river cuomo LOVES Nirvana..if kurt were alive i'm sure he'd like weezer as well..

[KingVerdo]

its pretty terrible. ive heard tribute bands absolutely perform this better 10000%. And Weezers a real band that has their own songs; how sad.

[sillywamosir]

@KingVerdo : dude, this is goat punishment, not weezer..they do have the exact same members though..and i think they did this song just fine..not great, but it's still good..

[SamBlitzBullet09]

bunch of wankers

[KurdtKobain1969]

not bad. ive heard worse

[snoor28]

such a shame...kurt's turning around in his grave :[

[ironnery89]

bueno kisas aya peores q este cover pero en lo personal aneurysm es y sera una cancion muy de cobain q no se deberia alterar cobain pq el mundo ya no huele a espiritu joven

[Angileinchen123]

I like Weezer, but this is a bad cover, especially his singing.

[Painnnnful]

Pretty good singing though, its got emotion in it, although not as much as Kurt.

[Painnnnful]

Bad drums and some parts missing in the guitar part in the beginning.

[Mopedioadicomputer]

whoever was playing the drums here didn't get dave's part right

[timthemagicbus666]

@Mopedioadicomputer can anyone? dave grohl is something else when it comes to drumming.

[annodominator]

@Mopedioadicomputer yeah it wasnt exact but it carried the flow ok and thats the goal anyways

[cobrayouth]

@Mopedioadicomputer

dale

[jimmybobo]

@Mopedioadicomputer I think the drums part is the least of the problems :D

[66mondo66]

@jimmybobo lol

[corporateGH0ST]

@Mopedioadicomputer LOL! you're so right. they can't handle Grohl's power and speed.

[dougthealligator]

@Mopedioadicomputer well it is a cover afterall not a verbatim replication

[Kotahgreen118]

@Mopedioadicomputer the point of playing a cover isn't to exactly mimic the original

[hamsterbass123]

@Kotahgreen118 thats a quote from captain obvious

[ironnery89]

q asco de cover no se como gente sin dignidad es capas de arruinar algo tan perfecto como es la musica de cobain deberia darle vergueza me repudia esta falta de respeto

[janolololo]

por lo menos se mantiene en el estilo...

lo que realmente da ASCO son los covers de Evanescence, eso si que es un INSULTO TOTAL A NIRVANA Y LO QUE HIZO KURT CON LA BANDA.

Saludos de Chile, hno. Salvadoreño.

[noisesionoise]

Toda la razon y mas!

[Heavymetal0830]

Mas que merda é essa !!!

Estragaram a música do Nirvana !!!

Mas que porra de banda se isso for uma banda !!!

[mrnirvanafan1]

just bad all around

[samcorbing]

nice

[EmoZombie503]

i honestly have to say they did pretty good on this Nirvana cover

like the others they did sucked but this was pretty good lol

love Nirvana and Weezer XD

[oscarpanic]

well, it's also hard to play drums like Dave Grohl

[enthnd03]

@oscarpanic grohl doesn't play that track

[grungegopher]

@enthnd03 Actually Dave did play drums on it, Nirvana first played Aneurysm in concert on Nov. 25, 1990, and recorded the Teen Spirit B-side version on New Year's Day 1991.

[woodhead1754]

@grungegopher

actually dumbass, patrick wilson played drums in this cover and anyways a cover is supposed to be different in its own new way to the band covering it.... dumbass :)

[erickleandro]

"how to ruin a perfectly good song:"

[jeantota]

yeah!

good cover!

[xalvaradox]

i like it.... the problem always its the Cobain singing...nobody sings like Kurt Cobain

[tracelight24]

lol sorry didnt mean to thumb you down, i thought you wrote nobody likes kurt cobain not nobody sings like Kurt Cobain lololol sorry- kurt rocks

[Element4078]

nirvana is better

[OnewingedAngel69]

...no shit.

[dagaah]

I actually liked it.

[1092587]

nah not so great, two VERY different bands. Never again please

[manhuntruler2]

horrible...

[hattrickpete]

Good Cover :))

[NJRocker228]

i like weezer but i dont like how they did this cover

[RCTPatriot75]

AIC rules all!

[BungeeBong]

THIS IS A WEIRD SHIT BUT, BOTH ARE RESPECTED BANDS, WEEZER MIGHT BE SOFTER MUSIC BUT, THEY DO HAVE LOT OF ENERGY IN THEIR (first album's) SONGS.

THE DRUMMER SOUNDS LIKE ME THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED THIS SONG (which was the 3rd time i ride a drumset... long ago in Neza York with Los Bardos)

[Erikiperik]

the drummer sounds like you the 3rd time you played drums??! he doesnt do all of dave`s fills, but he`s got a good sense of time, and make the song groove.. thats whats important.. and that is what is difficult to do, and takes years of dedication.. anybody with a bit of talent can learn to play a simple song on drums pretty fast, but very few can play it really tight and groovy.. I agree he is no dave grohl, but he has good sense of time.

[agentakb]

wow. you guys are sad. 2 completely different bands. lets see you do better

[chickenlvr915]

this blows bad. its a disgrace to Nirvana

[abbylm23]

Who is playing bass in this recording? 1998... so would that be Mikey or Matt?

[FatStrat000]

Matt

[skatermotherfucker10]

lol the drumming sucks so bad

[JoeLoro]

Obama is A PATHETIC TYRANT FOOLING 90% OF ALL AMERICANS INTO THINKING THAT GOVERNMETN DEPENDENCE IS NOT SLAVERY!! IT IS SLAVERY!!!! Most Obama supporters think that when we get "universal healthcare" that its gonna be great because its OBAMA... well you wont be dealing with obama... you will be dealing with lazy pathetic unintelligent drone-like bureaucrats EVERY SINGLE TIME you need to see a doctor...

[MegaJimmyBond]

Absolutely!!!! But where did that come from?? Weezer doin Nirvana man....DEADLY!!!!!

[themeni]

Yeah.

That's exactly why you're still alive.

Or everytime you got a cold, the doctor prescribed the right medicine

[cipparulo]

Nowhere near the force or power of Nirvana.

[IRISHPUNK676]

yeah this shit blows

[PjectManhattan]

this is one of the only bands that can get away with covering nirvana

[peedbeast]

I literally love both bands

[Cluee1]

you suck

[IareGeniouse]

i love nirvana... i love weezer.... i love this song... but the drummer kinda fucks it up...

[LittleMissGrunge]

Weezer did a whole show of nirvana covers once

[kickitshru2]

you all suck =w=

[protesttheryan11]

Sure this isn't the greatest cover but they were just having fun, both Weezer and Nirvana are great bands and there is nothing wrong with liking both of them.

[cooldogface]

@protesttheryan11 plus, they both have a sense of fun about each.... although... nirvana rocked my boat when i was 14, i gotta admit that his music is a bit depressing now. but i am still in LOVE with kurt! he made me the man i am now.

[Gamagachee]

Wow ... people are so offended these days... so much hate in the world by one cover. The world will always have hate and it sucks ass that I will never escape that

[JoeLoro]

Aww, poor you. . . Poor you for never being able to escape "hate" in the world. If you're looking for someone to tell you how wonderful you are and that the earth is made of lollipops and cupcakes, then maybe you should avoid the YouTube comment section and go back to the false reality and the fantasy world that's taught in America's public schools.... you pussy.

[Gamagachee]

lol it was just a comment. imagine me typing that comment dude, do you think i did that with an expression in my face? No, I was expressionless. every time i say lol i don't always laugh. good example hm?

[FeDespiZtadoS]

lol

[Hippiesfest69]

HAH

wow dude

ive never seen someone freak out over what a

fucking comment on youtube said worse than you have

he has a really good point and you can disagree with it all you want, that doesnt mean u havta freak out on the kid

people should be less concerned with the way other people think and learn to let them think what they want

[piledriver89]

shut up you sad act

[LegendaryIpod]

vocals suck

[theaterrox96]

not too too bad. not nearly as good as kurt tho.

[xXxBloodyFacexXx]

Weezer totally sucks =.=

And this is so bad, man -.-

the singer sings like buttfucked and the drummer .... i won't say something about the drummer -.-

SUCKY !

[shoey920]

it's not weezer's drummer... it's one of Mikey's friends.

how many times must this be posted?

[maninthebox92]

weezer's drummer - bass-snare-bass-snare

nirvana's drummer - aebngifjand lfihasdEPICasdngkad

[botas3211]

you - i-fuck-my-dad

me - yes-you-do

[daJodge]

Dave Grohl just took a huge shit all over Weezer's drummer.

[FatGuyWithACamera]

the thing about that is my video camera died before we went on, However my friend and I may get the guys together and make a new video so i can show you

[FatGuyWithACamera]

Are you kidding, My band played this song way better at a high school talent show. I find this funny

[yootesa1515]

i second that

[NathanTalbot]

sweet, do you have a video of it on youtube so we can see for ourselves?

[NathanTalbot]

I would've given anything to be at this show.

[chrisRATM]

comparing rivers and kurt's pictures says it all!!

[cybilljb]

the drummer blows this song

[blackscarlet512]

good cover

by a good band(weezer)

showing there respect to a amazing band(nirvana)

[dnggitg]

Unlike some commentators here I think the sound is pretty good. The trouble is that Rivers just isn't cool enough to cover Kurt. It's like Elvis Costello trying to cover Jim Morrison.

[HainesMusic]

rivers cuomo is just as cool as kurt. so shush

[flo6473]

I think Goat is better than Weezer of the past 10 years or so.

Great band really.

[BEATLEJEWZ]

shoey shut the fuck up you have no idea what you are talking about .. dont waste time replying because i will not even reply to your idiotic response .. no one can play better than nirvana .. like they say nothing beats the original .. so fuckkkkkkkkkkkk youuuuuuuuuuuu

[shoey920]

with arguments like that, how could you possibly be wrong?!?!?!?!?

I hate you.

[badmonkey91]

@BEATLEJEWZ

lolnub

[BEATLEJEWZ]

this is garbage what a let down .. no one can do it like nirvana

[shoey920]

weezer should really be judged for a club show with a new bassist, his friend playing drums, and Rivers in full nut-job mode because of the epic failure of Pinkerton's release?

are you daft sir?

also... Black Francis clearly did Nirvana better than Nirvana, but that's another story.

of course they sound terrible, that's not the fucking point....

[ijoeamthecoolest]

their drummer sucks i know that u dont have to play it exactly like the original and im not saying that they should have but these drum parts are fucking easy i could play them

[shoey920]

don't FUCK with the GOAT.

god, I miss when weezer was amazing instead of ass.

[cnacios]

oh hell no!!!!!!!!!!

[giovagrunge]

Oh my god...

[xXnonRETARDXx]

I think the cover is good only because they sound like weezer singing like weezer but the song isn't their's. They're not sposed to sound like Nirvana. When you cover songs you make them your own. Kurt Cobain did that with Love Buzz. Sounds really different from the original.

[r0cker1992]

Yeah Kurt completely changed Love Buzz it sounds nothing like the original version

[offthewall9087]

i like weezer but this cover sucks. you cant beat nirvana

[mrballistix]

duh

[zincthenoob]

no1 can beat Nirvana.....

[hedricksmith]

this is the shit...

[obbieray]

no no no no no

[riptokurt]

this cover blows more dick than the assholes below my comment fighting

[pocketsnzl]

man listening to this almost makes me hate nirvana... and thats fucking impossible. If any one has any problems with nirvana come fly to 43 baker street christchurch,new zealand and say that to my face
