NIRVANA - Aneurysm [ Early performance w/Different lyrics ]

[Jabbles2738]

anyone else notice him saying godamn after most lines in the second verse instead of just the usual scream?

[lastlane]

kurt cobain, MYYYYYY NIGGA

[TestMeatDollSteak]

WHOA! It sounds like Dave is doing the "Beat it! Beat it!" parts in the chorus w/ Kurt?! Aneurysm, IMO, was always one of their better live songs, but I also always felt it was missing a little something without those backing vocals.

[stvntdiaz]

@TestMeatDollSteak Dave always does the background vocals, sounds fucking jizz. you should hear his backgrounds in In Bloom sounds fucking nice.

[TestMeatDollSteak]

@stvntdiaz Right, I wasn't surprised that Dave was doing live backing vocals, I was surprised that he was doing them for this song. This is the only live performance of Aneurysm that I've heard where they throw in the "Beat it!" backing vocals on the chorus, possibly because it's an early live version, recorded well before the Nevermind tour. In their live sets from '91 and on, you'll notice Kurt sings the "Beat me outta me" parts, and they omit the "Beat it!" backing vox.

[starsweet4]

@TestMeatDollSteak i agree! love the "beat it, beat it" and you're right, this performance and one other (i can't find right now) are the only ones where i've heard dave do those backing vocals

[ilsevdb]

KURT IS MOST TALENTED PERSON EVER

ILL NEVER STOP LISTENING AGAIN!!

[TheWenexx]

best aneurysm i know

[YouWantMeYouCantPay]

for gods sake, stop arguing if it's dave on drums or not. it's dave grohl...

[xxAntidepressivaxx]

aneurysm is my absolut favourite song! my no.1 song! the version ist ...craaaazy!

[Pistola425]

For the record Dave's first show with Nirvana was on 10/11/90 at the North Shore Surf Club in Olympia Washington. (Its on the freakin With The Lights Out DVD!) This show was on 11/25/90 so yeah. Totally Dave. Besides it sounds nothing like Chad, Dan or Dale's drumming.

[Outtta1995]

This wasn't Dave, he played Aneurysm in the studio practise in Seattle 1/1/1991 as a Smells like Teen Spirit B side. And this is on Outcesticide with Oh the Guilt After it.

[taniafalmeida]

niceeee

[erichvrundstedt]

yea this is dave grool.. on drums.. im sure of it.

[LilC2012]

i have this on cd, best version, right after this they played Oh the guilt

[LilC2012]

i have this on cd, best version

[soundofmusic94]

@LilC2012 what cd?

[skotxmeyerx9]

i love how pissed he is.

[HewzyLFC]

awesome version Nirvana Rule man =]

[LKPellet]

aint dave g folks

[starsweet4]

@LKPellet what, the singing or drumming? definitely him on drums

[Masterconker]

come on over and shoot the shit GOD DAMN!

[theseer27]

whos doing the backing vocals??? it sounds like the chorus is both kurt. but how could he being saying both lines lol

[starsweet4]

@theseer27 i think it's dave, but it does sound weird..maybe cuz he is bashing the shit outta those drums :D

[starsweet4]

my favorite version of aneurysm. kurt sounds so pissed off, i love it

[wendy1851]

I mean, he (kurt) really looks like a girl i know

[BladeGuitarGirl]

i love the ..

"i dont like it a single bit" lyric.

they shud hav kept it.

[theseer27]

@BladeGuitarGirl me 2. sounds better than overdo it and have a fit

[westpsmity]

I think this performance takes the cake for the most intense Kurt vocal i've ever heard live. This is nothing short of amazing.

[moonijuana0]

god this is just intense! have you ever noticed the best renditions of nirvana songs live were usually the first few times they were played live? especially slts, rape me, pennyroyal tea, something in the way, son of a gun, blew, big cheese, dumb, very ape, sliver, hsb, scentless apprentice...basically every song! just listen to the first live performances of each. they're sung with such passion, not how they were in the end when they had played them 1000 times and went through the motions..

[mylomaster]

Or like he said himself 'Now I'm bored and old'

This is great!

[moonijuana0]

@mylomaster, yeah! that was the best way to start off in utero. "1, 2, 3, BAM! teenage angst has paid of well, now i'm bored and old." absolute perfect way to just follow up nevermind and all that went along with it.

p.s. i know the line is "i don't like it a single bit" but when i first heard it i thought it was "i don't like it, you sycophant!"

[kurtcourtney67]

@moonijuana0 You're 100% right.

[RuudvanGOLL]

lol no from Metallica....

LMAO!

[MrsKoffer]

i dont like you sick bitch :D

[lisaannsnyder]

UN-F-ING-BELIEVABLE I always loved that song but those lyrics are even better!!!!

[nirvomind]

3:49 what a pic !!

[legitimateJunkiee]

god that is creepy

[incesticide90]

@nirvomind New york , july 1993

[majicmountainrider]

i love anuerysm

[nirvomind]

what chrocus are u stupid or what

[gooljr]

This song have Michael Jackson,s chorus in it

[afronirvana]

I keep listening to this song since i got a gf lool

[Seidi14]

GRUNGE god damn it. lol

[satanistanarchy]

actually Kurt hated the word Grunge. he hated being referred to as grunge

[franknirvana]

@satanistanarchy

he loved pop corn and cats. He told me so.

[SwooyaDnb]

Lupe fiasco?Wtf?

Gtfo

Ontopic:Great song!

[pieterskater]

yes!! that would be amazing!! she would finally get what she deserves! And that would mean we could start buying their stuff again and support the two remaining members of what was one of the best bands ever

[FooFighterFix]

don't buy nirvana stuff anyway, the money goes to the witch =|

[TheCrimsonImbecile]

@FooFighterFix I thought she sold her rights to large corporations awhile ago?

[FooFighterFix]

@TheCrimsonImbecile No I think she sold part of the rights, the income is still probably far too high for her to want to sell it.

[pot4tots]

@FooFighterFix yeah thats why i steal nirvana stuff

[RabidWolverine54]

@FooFighterFix doesn't it all goes to his daughter ? i mean she's 18 years old now

[FooFighterFix]

@RabidWolverine54 Doubt it, the rights won't go to her unless it states that in his will. Although I don't know what was in his will so I can say.

[TheUmbilicalnoose]

@FooFighterFix I downloaded everything for free >;]

[Sludge9509]

This version is better in my opinion.

[prestodc]

man thats brilliant, thanks, great post!

[101Volts]

Hey, Kurt actually played the third fret on the G string in between power chords in the intro. He didn't do that in later recordings.

[101Volts]

Also who's yelling the background lyrics? I've never heard those in any other live performance of Aneurysm.

[starsweet4]

it's probably dave, he just sounds weird cuz he's playing drums at the same time.

yeah there's maybe 1 or 2 other versions of aneurysm on here that actually have the background singing

[kurowskijacek]

except that one which appears in Hormoaning

[DoubleTommyRider]

this is on Outcesitcide 5 Disintegration

[barkerKren]

i love this song =)=)

[Jovita112]

Love this song. Especially the begining... Makes me crazy!!!

[Cornzix]

lol whats going on at 3:50 XD

[KCNirvanaKC]

What do you mean?

[punk91]

My favorite version of Aneurysm... only live!!! That noise part in the beginning riff is really genius... you can tell they loved Sonic Youth... it's like they took that noise element and turned it upside down into these pretty pop songs!!!

[nirvanafreak95]

there's actually a studio recording of this version on hormoaning EP.

[punk91]

Yeah I know I've had it since I was like 12 or something. I meant this is my favorite version and that I've never heard it live and I like it better live since I'm a musician myself.

[COLOSSALYOUTHmusic]

it seems like they play a lot of new song at that show. they play dumb for the first time time there.

[Satan0wnz]

This was a Showcase concert. Alot of A&R dickheads were there. They played nearly every song they had written at the time. Including Scoff which is the only time they played it live. My favorite Nirvana concert. I have the soundboard recording of it ;)

[Satan0wnz]

Not Scoff! I meant Swap Meet lol -_-

[BloodforBlood82]

that's not true.

[UnreleasedOriginal]

there is no soundboard recording for this concert

[gmac55]

Come on over shoot the shit, aaah, I don't like it a single bit, aaah,

You dawn told me Jesus shit, I don't like it a single bit, aaah Beat me outta me...

I dawn told you not to shit/swear, come on over shoot the shit,

[JohNirvana]

Could be shit:

Come on over and shoot the shit

I don't like it, a single bit

You have told me she's the shit

I don't like it, a single bit

I won't tell you not too shit

Come on over shoot the shit, goddamn

Teenage saying beat my shit

Come on over shoot the shit, goddamn

8x She keeps it pumping straight trough my heart

[Aphex51]

I'm not convinced it's Kurt, there is a small difference in tone. I'm not saying that it "aint" Kurt. Just possible that it might not be.

[franknirvana]

its kurt, first performace of aneurysm. i have the complete show.

[COLOSSALYOUTHmusic]

definetly kurt sounds just like the slts bside version but with different lyrics.

[starsweet4]

dave looks like a girl in the first pic lol

[ITEMITE]

good...

[MADMAN343434]

oh sorry background but who cares?

[MADMAN343434]

it's kurt, shut up!

[4ourty5ive]

Yeah. it may be kurt, but I'm not fully convinced that it is.. ther are how many people on this earth? at least one or two could end up sounding a little bit like kurt.. at least enough to make a live recording sound almost like its actually nirvana

[1curt12]

this is kurt

[4ourty5ive]

oh.

[Satan0wnz]

Its Nirvana you fucking retards! God people are fucking stupid!

[KCNirvanaKC]

Lol 2:35 "Goddamn".

[RowinDrachenfaust]

great performance and great pictures

[suhijo]

first dave show was in 10/11/90 - North Shore Surf Club, Olympia, WA, US 10/11/90

so its dave playing it

[starsweet4]

Come on over, shoot the shit

I don't like it a single bit

You done told me, to change the shit (?)

I don't like it a single bit

[RowinDrachenfaust]

the lyrics are damn cool, but what about the rest of the lyrics?

[lennonmcartney213]

dave wasn't in nirvana yet, it cant be him

[EternalPerfektion]

That is Dave, he joined in early 1990.

[idiotindisguise]

lyrics where way too better

[starsweet4]

first time i have heard the background vocals in a live performance of aneurysm. strangely does not sound like dave.

[anundecidedarm]

yea i agree... it sounds like kurt, doesnt it?

[starsweet4]

yeah it does but i don't see how it can be him either lol.. since it sounds more distant

[1949bug]

i suppose dave sounds funny cos he is bashing the shit out of those drums. I dont reckon many drummers could play like that and sing as well at the same time.

great version of the song aswell!

[laynestaleyfan23]

No, Dave wasn't even in the band. It might be Jason Everman or Chad Channing

[KurtDucozCobain]

JASON EVERMAN WAS ON THE GUITAR, asshole

My dad where in this show, and he thought it was dave on the drumms;)

[laynestaleyfan23]

Your right about Everman but Dave stil wasnt in the band, maybe daddy is wrong

[bigmuffexpress]

Dave was in the band here, chad was fired after april or may

[laynestaleyfan23]

ok thats embarassing

[slts94]

nirvana ROCKS

[NirvanaTV]

I love this lyrics

[JamesRyanIMDb]

This was the first live performance of this song.

[RightHandJack]

i like the different lyrics.
