@TestMeatDollSteak you even hear him putting down the song subtly here, always ready to show his disdain for it, calling it 'Smells Like Thirty Something'. When he wasn't making comments like that about it, he was deliberately fucking up the solo, parodying it, playing it lifelessly , or leaving it out of the show entirely. This was just months after he had purportedly written it. Cobain didn't fucking write it. The real writer came forward years ago.Try to summon the will to go on living now.
@ehbseedy Lol, that internet story is pure, unsubstantiated bullshit. The author of it has most definitely NOT "come forward", choosing instead to remain anonymous, and he can't produce a single solitary shred of evidence to back any of his claims. The entire fictitious account is recreated "from memory", lol. The fact that people like you & "OzKnosis" have spent so much time obsessing over this theory is proof positive that you've got an even bigger hard on for Cobain than most of his fans.
@TestMeatDollSteak I'm obsessed? How about people like you and "Luke Griffiths" who have been obsessively trolling Nirvana videos on Youtube for HOW MANY YEARS? and look at your nick 'TestMeatDollSteak', yer fucking bonkers.There is not a strong enough word in the English language to describe your fanatical, maniacal, devotion to Cobain. The most fucking ridiculous part about this is you still insist the Teen Spirit lyrics were meaningless, when the real writer has explained the complete meaning
@OzKnosis Lol, my account on YouTube has only been active for barely over a year, so you're barking up the wrong tree, dildo. I love Nirvana, I never said that I didn't, and OF COURSE I'm a fan, otherwise I wouldn't have the user name that I do, and I wouldn't be commenting on Nirvana vids :) YOU, on the other hand, clearly hate Nirvana's music, and have a low opinion of Cobain as an artist and musician, so why even bother coming here? LOL at the sad Cobain-hating troll.
@TestMeatDollSteak your one account ? how many Cobain-worshipping accounts do you have? I don't hate all of Nirvana's music. I have a realistic idea of who he really was and what really happened in his life instead of worshipping is as some kind of perfect idol.He didn't write the lyrics to his two biggest hits, and without those and Courtney Love and her contacts in NY he never would have gone anywhere.He hated everyone, but I liked some of his music and don't hate him. He was sexually abused.
"The legend-making machine, one part genuine respect and one part opportunistic consumerism, was in full swing. Incredibly, since April of 1994, Nirvana and Pearl Jam have sold an identical 19 million albums, even though Nirvana has recorded no new material while Pearl Jam has released seven new studio albums, six live albums, and two compilations during that time."
"In fact, more Nirvana records were purchased between April 1994 & April 1995 (10 million) than had been purchased during Cobain’s entire lifetime (6 million).The title “Spokesman of Generation X,” which had been shelved in the wake of In Utero’s initial failure,was resurrected &printed on tens of thousands of commemorative t-shirts. Courtney Love,Cobain’s widow, spoke to standing ovations across the country, standing in for her husband on the Lollapalooza festival circuit."
"An objective assessment of Nirvana’s career became virtually impossible in the aftermath of Cobain’s tragic death in April 1994. Sales of Nirvana’s records were immediately reinvigorated – In Utero went from certified platinum to 4x multi-platinum in the year after Cobain’s suicide, obscuring its initial sales disappointment and making it a bona fide hit. Sales of Nevermind, which had finally slowed, picked up again as well. "
"As of March, 1994, Pearl Jam’s records had outsold Nirvana’s 11 million to 6 million, and it was Pearl Jam whose album remained in the top 10 while Nirvana was beginning to look like a one hit wonder. Given the revisionist history spewed by the rock pundits over the last decade and a half it may be hard to believe, but by early 1994 Pearl Jam, not Nirvana, was clearly America’s biggest new rock band."
"In marked contrast, Pearl Jam’s second album, Vs., released just one month later, sold 950,378 copies in its first week of release, setting a new record for opening sales and topping the combined sales of the rest of Billboard’s top ten that week (a list which included In Utero). Vs. was certified 5x multi-platinum by the end of 1993, and its record-breaking commercial success further highlighted In Utero’s relative commercial failure."
Kurt clearly wrote all the lyrics and more than 90% of all the music that Nirvana recorded, and there is no good reason to believe otherwise. There are a lot of conspiracy theorists, Cobain-haters and tabloid junkies out there who are willing to believe anything that they read on the internet, so long as it agrees with their preconceptions that Kurt Cobain is somehow unworthy of his status as a gifted songwriter and all around fascinating person. Too bad, haters, you're all sadly mistaken.
@TestMeatDollSteak Cobain didn't write the lyrics to Teen Spirit or Come As You Are, and he hated getting success in the rock world because he was bisexual bordering on gay and wanted to stay in the 'progressive alternative' scene of gay bars and masochistic bisexual punk bands that he and Courtney Love admired.Courtney Love despised straight rockers because she was a jealous bisexual ugly little dyke with penis envy.She wrecked Cobain's life by starting a war on rockers &using Cobain as ammo.
so if cobain wasnt a genius and illiterate and he didnt write smells like teen spirirt, then who wrote heart-shaped box, cause those r the best lyrics ever! So ill tell you who wrote these lyrics kurt you fucken idiot!!!!
@drumshfn Heart Shaped Box was not even a big hit. Hardly anyone liked it when it came out. Fans were disappointed with In Utero, and album sales were shit.The record company was hugely disappointed with both the music on In Utero & the album sales.Pearl Jam's second album called Vs. sales blew In Utero out of the water, obliterated it.In Utero was widely considered to be a commercial failure until Cobain died and the publicity sent sales of all Nirvana records sky high.
@TheCMKXer An interesting spin you're putting on the sales of In Utero. In Utero went into the charts at number one, and Heart Shaped Box was in heavy rotation on both MTV and commercial radio. It's true that sales of In Utero were eventually dwarfed by Pearl Jam's "Vs", and didn't match up to the sales of "Nevermind", but that hardly makes In Utero a "failure". Sales were further hindered by WalMart & Kmart's refusal to carry the album, & the album singles were not released in the US.
@TestMeatDollSteak everything you said about In Utero's success was based on the success of Nevermind. It couldn't stand on its own. Of course it got heavy play on radio and MTV, but only because Nevermind had placed Nirvana on top of the world. If In Utero had been released instead of Nevermind in 1991, Nirvana would have fallen flat on their faces and been laughed out of town. Bad posture, laxatives, antacids,constipation,water breaking, married, buried, blah blah blah. No one liked In Utero.
@TheCMKXer Blahblahblah, your subjective opinion only :-/ I bought "In Utero" the day it came out, and loved it far more than I did Nevermind, and plenty of my friends loved In Utero, too. Nirvana made an intentionally mainstream-sounding record w/ Nevermind, and intentionally went w/ a harsher sound w/ "In Utero" Most of the songs that appear on In Utero were written at the same time Kurt wrote the Nevermind stuff, there's not much difference in the songwriting between the two albums.
@TestMeatDollSteak there was a huge difference between Nevermind and In Utero. In Utero was a depressing embarrassment with Cobain talking about nothing but himself, his bad posture, his constipation, his laxatives, his Dad, his marriage, his antacids,his angst, his being sad, happy, raped, hated, anemic, tired,bored,old,married,buried. FUCK OFF cunt! Who gives a shit, who wants a whole fucking record about self-obsessed hateful little faggot Cobain? The album flopped, intentionally.
"sales of In Utero were sluggish out of the gate. The album was certified platinum in November, but failed to go multi-platinum until after Cobain’s death the following April, a huge disappointment given the hype surrounding the release (and in comparison to the 5 million copies Nevermind had sold to date)."
@OzKnosis And the point of all this? In Utero can only be called a "failure" if you compare its sales to the massive runaway success of Nevermind, or the success of Pearl Jam's radio friendly, non-confrontational sophomore effort. The album was already platinum months before Cobain's death, without sales distribution in KMart or WalMart - how is a platinum album a "failure"? And, seriously, are you still wasting your time pushing this unsubstantiated b.s. that Cobain didn't write SLTS? LOL.
@TestMeatDollSteak the whole point is that 'In Utero' only went platinum before Cobain's death because it got HUGE PR, based on the success of Nevermind.Cobain could have farted into a bagpipe and recorded it underwater while shitting his pants into a speedo , and the shit would have gotten onto MTV and onto radio.It was a depressing record that stalled once people realized how depressing Courtney Love was, and how correctoid Cobain was and even the tour sputtered.
@OzKnosis Sorry, you're a sad, sad troll, wasting your time with a lame, bullshit internet story that doesn't have a single shred of evidence to back it. You're good for a nice laugh, though, I'll give you that :)
In Utero just wasn't a hit , and Cobain knew it. If Nirvana had released a record as bad as 'In Utero' as their first one, instead of Nevermind, not even Courtney Love's army of JewYork contacts could have saved them.In Utero didn't rock, and Cobain wasn't even a rocker when it comes right down to it.The whole album should have been called 'In Recto' because it was a journey straight up Cobain's ass.
@TestMeatDollSteak Cobain didn't write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit or to Come As You Are. The real writer came forward years ago. That's old news.
@OzKnosis what gets me is how some people, a dwindling minority, still claim that Cobain was some kind of a genius, but when you ask them what Cobain's crowning glory, the biggest evidence of his 'genius', the song Smells Like Teen Spirit, meant, they don't have a fucking clue. All they know is what they were programmed by MTV to believe like some fucking cult zombie. Cobain genius. Cobain genius. Cobain genius. Its fucking pathetic. Ask them what Smells Like Teen Spirit was about? Answer:dunno
@Pumpkingilmour Cobain did not even write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. He was no genius. He was an opportunist who recorded a couple of songs that had been given to him in 1986 and both of them went huge because he connected himself with Courtney Love and her contacts , and they made him into a huge star on one condition: that he marry Courtney and do whatever the fuck she told him to do. As soon as he DEVIATED from the PROGRAM, he was dead.
@TheCMKXer they don't have a clue. All they know is that big MR. TELEVISION told them that girls scream for Nirvana, and therefore Nirvana is said genius. WHat did Smells Like Teen Spirit actually mean? Does it even matter what the song means, when the goddesses of vaginal scream approve? Snope, it doesn't matter. All dat matters is dat whatever Mr. TELEVISION tells da kiddies da do, dey do, to go along with dem hot screamers, like. Ya know? We gots it all figured out.
DEAR ALL ROCK AND NIRVANA FANS, FEBRUARY 20TH IS KURT COBAIN'S BIRTHDAY. THAT DAY WE WILL ALL VISIT THE "SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT" VIDEO, LIKE IT, AND WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY. NOT ONLY WILL IT PAY BACK RESPECT TO HIM, IT WILL ALSO HELP NIRVANA GET TO THE TOP OF YOUTUBE AGAIN. THUMBS UP THIS COMMENT AND REPOST THIS ON ANY NIRVANA OR ANY ROCK VIDEO.
@TheCMKXer What a load of tripe. He went on a bender with Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill), vandalised an abortion clinic, drank much Canadian Club, and she wrote the lines of the chorus on his (rented) apartment wall. This is widely documented, and the chorus is what sells this song. Speak ill of the dead all you want, but don't make shit up. Jerk.
@TheCMKXer massive flaw in your story douche bag. Early drafts of the lyrics were written for the chorus and he had a vocal melody before he named it you fucking div.
@LukeGriffths121 fuck off, Cobain's crappy journal proves nothing. Courtney Love is suspected to have written half of that execrable crap herself. Cobain is said to have been given the lyrics in 1986, which is before Cobain's crappy journal entries of the song were done. So Cobain could have tried to rewrite the song in his notebooks. All the notebooks prove is how illiterate Cobain really was. He had almost no education.
@OzKnosis You are such a fucking div. You have no evidence where I have? Courtney wrote half of it yeah? It's in his handwriting you spastic, what evidence do you have that Courtney wrote them? Nothing. 'Cobain is said to have been given the lyrics in 1986' so it took him 5-6 years to use them in a song? Oh god you are so stupid. Yes, he had very little education, but you shouldn't measure some-ones intelligence by their education.
@LukeGriffths121 Courtney Love knew how to fake Cobain's hand writing. Cobain was given the lyrics in 1986
and did not use them at first because he wanted to put out his own original album, and also because he could not find the original writer. When he needed good material for Nevermind ,which was his big shot a the bigtime with Geffen, he decided to go ahead and do the songs. That crap in his journal was him trying to REWRITE the lyrics. He was almost illiterate.
@OzKnosis You have just repeated what you originally said. You did not combat any of my points apart from 'Courtney Love knew how to fake Cobain's hand writing' Can you prove that? You have no proof for anything that you have claimed Cobain did. Good luck in court fuck face.
@LukeGriffths121 Cobain was almost illiterate, read his journal. He hated Smells Like Teen Spirit because he had lied about writing the lyrics to it. He was not a genius.
He lied about the lyrics to his two most popular songs.
@Strohy88 he didn't steal the lyrics. THe lyrics were given to him with the suggestion that he put the lyrics to a morphed version of the main riff from More than a Feeling.
Everyone went gaga over Cobain because they thought he was being so modest about his big hits , not wanting to play them and saying the lyrics were meaningless etc. The reality is that Cobain was being more honest than modest, because he honestly didn't write the lyrics to his two biggest songs and hated them soon after.
@LukeGriffths121 do you work for the record company? Face it, Cobain was no genius, he was stupid enough to marry Courtney Love, because without her and her powerful contacts in NY he never would have gone anywhere.But his success came at a price, and the price was being the personal property of Courtney and her family/advisors. He sold his soul for success, and no, he did not write the lyrics to Teen Spirit or to Come As You Are. Stop making money on a lie.
Do you hear it!? Do you hear it!!? Reverb people! If you do a cover of any of kurts songs put in reverb for your vocals! That's what Kurt did just like this live performance.. It makes you sound much better!
when i see nirvana live it always seems to me like kurt is talking to the crowd with his lyrics. like his own language in a way. idk to me its amazing
@pangborn25 Cobain was given the lyrics in 1986. It is fairly new information that hasn't made into the mainstream yet. Look up 'the true story behind the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit' for more information.
@DILLONSHWING no it is not bullshit. Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. Stop calling him Kurt as though he is your personal friend.
Cobain was given the lyrics in 1986 when the Melvins went to Banff to play a gig at Wild Bill's prior to going to Calgary for a gig at the National Hotel on May 14th.
@TheCMKXer Its bullshit dude and I didnt know that it was such a big deal that I referred to him as Kurt. Thats his name you know... I guess to truly sound like an intellectual you must refer to everybody by their last name at the risk of making it seem like they are your personal friend. Fuck you.
@DILLONSHWING His name is Kurt Cobain. Refer to him as Kurt Cobain or Cobain for short. Don't call him Kurt . It sounds stupid. Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit or to Come As You ARe . He was given the lyrics in 1986 when he was in Banff, Alberta.
@TheCMKXer Yes sir. Gee you sure are right mister. What was I thinking calling somebody by their first name? You know what? Your the one sounding stupid. Kurt wrote the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit and I will refer to him as "Kurt" if I so please. Choke on your moms dick.
@DILLONSHWING Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit or to Come As You Are. Calling him Kurt sounds so gayish. Stop calling him Kurt, you sound like you have a boy crush on your Cobain wall poster.
His name is Kurt Cobain, and he did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. He even based the music on 'More than a Feeling'.
@TheCMKXer So let me get this straight...Just because some guy writes a very long story about how he wrote the lyrics to Smells like Teen Spirit and Come as you are you believe him? Just randomly after all these years, he decides "Oh wait, I wrote that song, silly me Im gonna have to write about it online" and you believe him? You do realize that people can make up whatever they want on the internet right? I read the entire article and although it is well written, I dont buy it one bit.
@DILLONSHWING it is not a very long story. The same idiots who would read a thousand page biography on Cobain refuse to read ten pages of something that disillusions them , because they are afraid it might be true. Fuck em.
I read the entire thread , all 78 pages,. and it is true. Cobain did not write the Teen Spirit lyrics.
@TheCMKXer Hey I just read an article on the internet that said Osama Bin Laden is hiding out in a hole underneath your house, quick go call the White House so they can fish him out......not everything you read on the internet is true, its your opinion to believe that article which is fine, but seriously stop forcing it onto everyone else...oh and his name was KURT and people will call him that if they want to, get off your fucking high horse.
@TheCMKXer Can believe a conspiracy theory, you are delusional there is no point in arguing with you because you clearly are to busy watching The X Files and dreaming about Scully.
All I'm saying is feel free to believe whatever you want to believe, but stop forcing your opinions on everyone else, not everyone is as delusional as you and believes "The Truth Is Out There" in the fom of a thread from fucking google. Instead of attacking everyone just enjoy one of the best songs ever written.
@m2rendell you idiots call anything that you don't WANT to be true a 'conspiracy theory.' Since when is someone like Cobain lying about writing lyrics that he was given a 'conspiracy theory'? Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. or to Come As You Are. There was no conspiracy. He just lied about writing the lyrics because he wanted superstar status and knew that if he were credited with writing those songs he'd be given higher regard than if he told the truth.
@MunisAwesome No, Cobain lied about writing the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. He was given the lyrics in 1986 when he was in BAnff, along with the lyrics to Come As You Are. Look up 'The true story behind the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit' and read the first twenty pages of the thread. or see this link:
@TheCMKXer That was very dodgy, coming from a random person. And he's used stupid things like "He hated playing the song because it was based on a lie." Wrong Wrong Wrong, He didn't hate the song... He hated playing the song so many times. Because at the time all people thought of when they heard Nirvana was Grunge Movement or smells like teen spirit. So they had to play it at nearly every concert. And he didn't want to be remember for only one song. Be continued.
@MunisAwesome Cobain played Lithium and In Bloom just as many times as he played Teen Spirit, and never said he hated those songs. Cobain hated Teen Spirit because he did not write the lyrics to it and felt his success was based on a lie.
Cobain was given the lyrics in 1986 when he was in Banff , and tried to rewrite the lyrics a couple of times
because he could not find the original writer. He should have credited the writer as 'anonymous' but he wanted to be a superstar so he lied .
@TheCMKXer What a load of tripe. He went on a bender with Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill), vandalised an abortion clinic, drank much Canadian Club, and she wrote the lines of the chorus on his (rented) apartment wall. This is widely documented, and the chorus is what sells this song. Speak ill of the dead all you want, but don't make shit up. Jerk.
@TheCMKXer Also the fact that your writer has no evidence as well or atleast references. And he twists a lot of the subjects he brings up. And It was made by the whole band. Kurt only had around 33% of the credit. Because Krist and Dave also helped write the song and create the sound for it. I can also confirm that for you if you want. The only thing he did copy was the name, Because a friend he had before Nirvana was made or famous said Smells Like Kurt Spirit.
@MunisAwesome what do you mean he twists the subjects he brings up? He explained where and when he wrote the lyrics, what they meant, and how he gave them to Cobain.
@TheCMKXer Once again, You can explain something but you will always need proof, examples and evidence. Which he has none of... And twist the truth of a lot of subjects he brought up. Like when the writer wrote:
"He hated playing the song because it was based on a lie." THat wasn't why, it's because he felt that the audience only thought of the song when they thought of nirvana. And were forced to play it at every concert. Let's also bring this to inbox, the comment limit is annoying.
@MunisAwesome if Cobain made six pizzas for his friends at a dinner party at his home, two mushroom onion, two bacon cheddar, and two pineapple beef, why would he give a shit which one of the pizzas his friends liked the most , if he had baked them all himself? Wake the fuck up., Imagine Cobain getting pissed off that people preferred the pineapple mushroom and neglected the artistry of his mushroom combo , & grabbing the pineapple pizzas and flushing them down the toilet. Demented cocksuckers
@TheCMKXer the real reason he hated Teen Spirit is because he was given the lyrics to the song when he was in Banff in 1986 & his lie about writing the song became the defining moment of his life.He almost had a breakdown right after performing the song live at Beehive Records, his first U.S. performance of it after it went huge on TV, because he realized the trap he'd put himself in. He was buried under an avalanche of critical acclaim that sickened him to the core because he did not write it.
@TheCMKXer Blocking me won't make you right, I dismissed your so called "evidence" as a sstory is because they are just things being said without proof. And I've given you so many explanations on why a lot of the things you've said are flawed which you've ignored and dismissed.
@TheCMKXer I'm sorry so Kurt didn't write the lyrics to Smell's Like Teen Spirit and Come As You Are?? Is that what your saying, because I didn't catch it the first 20 times you said it..no one believes you please shut the fuck up
@TheCMKXer I'm going with the guy above me. It's the internet and the person who "wrote" that article wasn't even concerned with grammar. It seems, just a little suspect........or bullshit.
@pangborn25 there was not much wrong with the way the article was written. You think Cobain's grammar was better? Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit or to Come As You Are.
If kurt cobain wouldn't have died imagine how good nirvana would be today(even though they would of probably broke up) how many more hits they could of had today. They could the best band of all time.
i agree with everyone bellow this comment (except the first part of thridmoonrecordings comment) there was no specific word that goes there and if i recall right FOB & GD have done the same at concerts too.
i have a jag stang in sonic blue xD it is awesome i logve it. if i were to lose it or whatever i would kill myself i swear it is fucking immense. kurt u live on in your songs. i will always remeber you!!
I have one too. its a cool guitar, but it was made a cheaply i think. the action on mine constantly messes itself up, the neck straightens at random (instead of remaining subtly curved) etc etc.
fender should have done the guitar more justice when they released it for public purchase.
Isn't it a custom job he had made up, a mustang/jaguar hybrid (Body of one, neck of the other) Fender did a limited run of them as some sort of tribute, or so a guitar geek friend of mine has told me. My friend made his own, really nice to play, short neck,low tension in the strings, easy to bend.
lol, you sure read up alot on the Jagstang, but you clearly know absolutely nothing about guitars, hahaha, it's a Japanese Fender Telecaster painted blue, go be a FAIL somewhere else...
shit, sorry about that, I just reread your comment, I didn't pick up it was a question, I thought you wrote "It's a custom job he had...." When you were infact asking IF it was a custom job...
sorry for my unintelligent and obnoxious response.
Wow, thanks for the apology - so used to dickheads on Youtube just trolling random abuse... (Partly my bad, didn't use a question mark) I don't know much about electrics, I'm strictly acoustic/classical, but my mate the rockpig has 40+ electrics including the home made jagstang i played a few years back (he also made a "Musuar" out of the leftovers). That's the extent of my knowledge of the Jagstang. But yeah you're right, after having another look I can see it's a Tele body. Cheers.
@endlessnamless420 yes, he did hate the song. He did one grotesque parody of it and refused to play it on several occasions. One time Nirvana intentionally played only the beginning of the song live in front of one of their biggest ever crowds, and then stopped and refused to continue the song, which almost caused a riot. The song was not even very old so dont' give me the bullshit they were sick of playing it.The real reason he hated it was because he did not write the lyrics to it.
@endlessnamless420 wrong, he hated Smells Like Teen Spirit. He was still playing songs from Bleach and was not tired of them, though they were years older than Smells Like Teen Spririt. The real reason he hated the song Smells Like Teen Spirit was because he did not write the lyrics to it.
@OzKnosis i have a honest question, who wrote it? every where i look it says kurt wrote it. but in the muddy banks cd it says he didnt. who did? seriously i want to know.
typical shitty emotionless live version from Cobain. Why bother touring if you are going
to be an arrogant asshole.

Vs. was certified 5x multi-platinum by the end of 1993, and its record-breaking commercial success further highlighted In Utero’s relative commercial failure."

Kurt clearly wrote all the lyrics and more than 90% of all the music that Nirvana recorded, and there is no good reason to believe otherwise. There are a lot of conspiracy theorists, Cobain-haters and tabloid junkies out there who are willing to believe anything that they read on the internet, so long as it agrees with their preconceptions that Kurt Cobain is somehow unworthy of his status as a gifted songwriter and all around fascinating person. Too bad, haters, you're all sadly mistaken.

@TestMeatDollSteak Cobain didn't write the lyrics to Teen Spirit or Come As You Are, and he hated getting success in the rock world because he was bisexual bordering on gay and wanted to stay in the 'progressive alternative' scene of gay bars and masochistic bisexual punk bands that he and Courtney Love admired.Courtney Love despised straight rockers because she was a jealous bisexual ugly little dyke with penis envy.She wrecked Cobain's life by starting a war on rockers &using Cobain as ammo.

drumshfn 1 year ago
@drumshfn Heart Shaped Box was not even a big hit. Hardly anyone liked it when it came out. Fans were disappointed with In Utero, and album sales were shit.The record company was hugely disappointed with both the music on In Utero & the album sales.Pearl Jam's second album called Vs. sales blew In Utero out of the water, obliterated it.In Utero was widely considered to be a commercial failure until Cobain died and the publicity sent sales of all Nirvana records sky high.
TheCMKXer 5 months ago
@TheCMKXer An interesting spin you're putting on the sales of In Utero. In Utero went into the charts at number one, and Heart Shaped Box was in heavy rotation on both MTV and commercial radio. It's true that sales of In Utero were eventually dwarfed by Pearl Jam's "Vs", and didn't match up to the sales of "Nevermind", but that hardly makes In Utero a "failure". Sales were further hindered by WalMart & Kmart's refusal to carry the album, & the album singles were not released in the US.
TestMeatDollSteak 5 months ago
@TestMeatDollSteak everything you said about In Utero's success was based on the success of Nevermind. It couldn't stand on its own. Of course it got heavy play on radio and MTV, but only because Nevermind had placed Nirvana on top of the world. If In Utero had been released instead of Nevermind in 1991, Nirvana would have fallen flat on their faces and been laughed out of town. Bad posture, laxatives, antacids,constipation,water breaking, married, buried, blah blah blah. No one liked In Utero.
TheCMKXer 5 months ago
@TheCMKXer Blahblahblah, your subjective opinion only :-/ I bought "In Utero" the day it came out, and loved it far more than I did Nevermind, and plenty of my friends loved In Utero, too. Nirvana made an intentionally mainstream-sounding record w/ Nevermind, and intentionally went w/ a harsher sound w/ "In Utero" Most of the songs that appear on In Utero were written at the same time Kurt wrote the Nevermind stuff, there's not much difference in the songwriting between the two albums.
TestMeatDollSteak 5 months ago
@TestMeatDollSteak there was a huge difference between Nevermind and In Utero. In Utero was a depressing embarrassment with Cobain talking about nothing but himself, his bad posture, his constipation, his laxatives, his Dad, his marriage, his antacids,his angst, his being sad, happy, raped, hated, anemic, tired,bored,old,married,buried. FUCK OFF cunt! Who gives a shit, who wants a whole fucking record about self-obsessed hateful little faggot Cobain? The album flopped, intentionally.

"sales of In Utero were sluggish out of the gate. The album was certified platinum in November, but failed to go multi-platinum until after Cobain’s death the following April, a huge disappointment given the hype surrounding the release (and in comparison to the 5 million copies Nevermind had sold to date)."
OzKnosis 5 months ago
@OzKnosis And the point of all this? In Utero can only be called a "failure" if you compare its sales to the massive runaway success of Nevermind, or the success of Pearl Jam's radio friendly, non-confrontational sophomore effort. The album was already platinum months before Cobain's death, without sales distribution in KMart or WalMart - how is a platinum album a "failure"? And, seriously, are you still wasting your time pushing this unsubstantiated b.s. that Cobain didn't write SLTS? LOL.
TestMeatDollSteak 5 months ago
@TestMeatDollSteak the whole point is that 'In Utero' only went platinum before Cobain's death because it got HUGE PR, based on the success of Nevermind.Cobain could have farted into a bagpipe and recorded it underwater while shitting his pants into a speedo , and the shit would have gotten onto MTV and onto radio.It was a depressing record that stalled once people realized how depressing Courtney Love was, and how correctoid Cobain was and even the tour sputtered.

In Utero just wasn't a hit , and Cobain knew it. If Nirvana had released a record as bad as 'In Utero' as their first one, instead of Nevermind, not even Courtney Love's army of JewYork contacts could have saved them.In Utero didn't rock, and Cobain wasn't even a rocker when it comes right down to it.The whole album should have been called 'In Recto' because it was a journey straight up Cobain's ass.

@Pumpkingilmour Cobain did not even write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. He was no genius. He was an opportunist who recorded a couple of songs that had been given to him in 1986 and both of them went huge because he connected himself with Courtney Love and her contacts , and they made him into a huge star on one condition: that he marry Courtney and do whatever the fuck she told him to do. As soon as he DEVIATED from the PROGRAM, he was dead.

LukeGriffths121 1 year ago
@LukeGriffths121 fuck off, Cobain's crappy journal proves nothing. Courtney Love is suspected to have written half of that execrable crap herself. Cobain is said to have been given the lyrics in 1986, which is before Cobain's crappy journal entries of the song were done. So Cobain could have tried to rewrite the song in his notebooks. All the notebooks prove is how illiterate Cobain really was. He had almost no education.
OzKnosis 1 year ago
@OzKnosis You are such a fucking div. You have no evidence where I have? Courtney wrote half of it yeah? It's in his handwriting you spastic, what evidence do you have that Courtney wrote them? Nothing. 'Cobain is said to have been given the lyrics in 1986' so it took him 5-6 years to use them in a song? Oh god you are so stupid. Yes, he had very little education, but you shouldn't measure some-ones intelligence by their education.
LukeGriffths121 1 year ago
@LukeGriffths121 Courtney Love knew how to fake Cobain's hand writing. Cobain was given the lyrics in 1986
and did not use them at first because he wanted to put out his own original album, and also because he could not find the original writer. When he needed good material for Nevermind ,which was his big shot a the bigtime with Geffen, he decided to go ahead and do the songs. That crap in his journal was him trying to REWRITE the lyrics. He was almost illiterate.

Everyone went gaga over Cobain because they thought he was being so modest about his big hits , not wanting to play them and saying the lyrics were meaningless etc. The reality is that Cobain was being more honest than modest, because he honestly didn't write the lyrics to his two biggest songs and hated them soon after.

Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. or to Come As You Are. There was no conspiracy.

@TheCMKXer That was very dodgy, coming from a random person. And he's used stupid things like "He hated playing the song because it was based on a lie." Wrong Wrong Wrong, He didn't hate the song... He hated playing the song so many times. Because at the time all people thought of when they heard Nirvana was Grunge Movement or smells like teen spirit. So they had to play it at nearly every concert. And he didn't want to be remember for only one song. Be continued.

@MunisAwesome Cobain played Lithium and In Bloom just as many times as he played Teen Spirit, and never said he hated those songs. Cobain hated Teen Spirit because he did not write the lyrics to it and felt his success was based on a lie.
Cobain was given the lyrics in 1986 when he was in Banff , and tried to rewrite the lyrics a couple of times
because he could not find the original writer. He should have credited the writer as 'anonymous' but he wanted to be a superstar so he lied .

@TheCMKXer Also the fact that your writer has no evidence as well or atleast references. And he twists a lot of the subjects he brings up. And It was made by the whole band. Kurt only had around 33% of the credit. Because Krist and Dave also helped write the song and create the sound for it. I can also confirm that for you if you want. The only thing he did copy was the name, Because a friend he had before Nirvana was made or famous said Smells Like Kurt Spirit.

@TheCMKXer the real reason he hated Teen Spirit is because he was given the lyrics to the song when he was in Banff in 1986 & his lie about writing the song became the defining moment of his life.He almost had a breakdown right after performing the song live at Beehive Records, his first U.S. performance of it after it went huge on TV, because he realized the trap he'd put himself in. He was buried under an avalanche of critical acclaim that sickened him to the core because he did not write it.

I have one too. its a cool guitar, but it was made a cheaply i think. the action on mine constantly messes itself up, the neck straightens at random (instead of remaining subtly curved) etc etc.
fender should have done the guitar more justice when they released it for public purchase.

Isn't it a custom job he had made up, a mustang/jaguar hybrid (Body of one, neck of the other) Fender did a limited run of them as some sort of tribute, or so a guitar geek friend of mine has told me. My friend made his own, really nice to play, short neck,low tension in the strings, easy to bend.

Wow, such intelligent and polite comment. I just asked a question you trolling moron.
eddietk421 2 years ago
shit, sorry about that, I just reread your comment, I didn't pick up it was a question, I thought you wrote "It's a custom job he had...." When you were infact asking IF it was a custom job...
sorry for my unintelligent and obnoxious response.

Wow, thanks for the apology - so used to dickheads on Youtube just trolling random abuse... (Partly my bad, didn't use a question mark) I don't know much about electrics, I'm strictly acoustic/classical, but my mate the rockpig has 40+ electrics including the home made jagstang i played a few years back (he also made a "Musuar" out of the leftovers). That's the extent of my knowledge of the Jagstang. But yeah you're right, after having another look I can see it's a Tele body. Cheers.

BTW kurt even hated this song
nitro4351 2 years ago
he didnt hate it, he just didnt like how it was the only song people cared about, he was just tired of playing it.

@endlessnamless420 he was not tired of playing it , it was a brand new song and he hated it because he did not write the lyrics to it.

@endlessnamless420 yes, he did hate the song. He did one grotesque parody of it and refused to play it on several occasions. One time Nirvana intentionally played only the beginning of the song live in front of one of their biggest ever crowds, and then stopped and refused to continue the song, which almost caused a riot. The song was not even very old so dont' give me the bullshit they were sick of playing it.The real reason he hated it was because he did not write the lyrics to it.

@TheCMKXer lol

@endlessnamless420 wrong, he hated Smells Like Teen Spirit. He was still playing songs from Bleach and was not tired of them, though they were years older than Smells Like Teen Spririt. The real reason he hated the song Smells Like Teen Spirit was because he did not write the lyrics to it.
