great cover as much i hate peole covering nirvana songs amy lee did a great job and who the hell does miley cyrus think she is and what was she suppost to be doing singin or killin a cat
Now look at what Flyleaf did with Smells Like Teen Spirit, don't tell me you would have liked it a lot more of Amy Lee was singing it. Its a matter of talent and voice for the song. Amy Lee,i think she had a perfect voice to cover this. Plus she is just an amazing singer (and a hot one :]) Its all about heart though man.
@beLIEveraliveMJ Can you NOT fuckin bring it up? Its hard enough to know Miley covered a art piece and made it sound like shit. Do you feel pleasure when rubbing it in other peoples faces? Just don't bring up stupid musicians ever again or Kurt will come in your room at night and haunt you! GOT IT!
@FASSY524 oh please. a lot of people here brings that up and bringing it up makes miley's cover sound more bad that it already is. and no i don't feel pleasure rubbing it in people's faces. who the fuck do you think you are? you're not my boss, you're not my parents and you're not my teacher so shut the fuck up because you can't tell me what i have to do.
ughhhh for the love of God do not cover Nirvana!!!!!!! no one should touch their songs now.... Dave Grohl for the first time since Kurt died played the beat to Smells Like Teen Spirit, with Pat Smear on guitar and Krist Novoselic on bass, and he said he felt like a ghost..... in my opinion, Dave Grohl should be the only one who is allowed to touch Nirvana songs, and doesnt... so noone should... leave Nirvana songs alone
If there was any women to touch Kurts stuff aka music I would pick Amy lee her voice is amazing and I know kurt would be happy RIP Kurt sure miss u man
I like their cover :) and no they can't be compared as two different bands, but if you compare this song like is their cover better or the original one I think Nirvana's version is better. But good job anyway :)
People, it's a cover, a tribute to Nirvana if you will, the band isn't saying they're better just that they enjoy the other's music enough to do this. So in short, this isn't worth arguing over. Whether you like the music or not is simply your own opinion.
it pisses me off when ppl compare them its just music all that matters is that we all have something to listen to i like this version and the original idc what anyone else thinks its my life and i get to choose how to run it now either shut up and listen or dont comment cuz this is bull shit no one cares and ppl who do care r fucking dumb asses im sick of stupid ppl saying stupid shit now either enjoy music or piss off - Sita Lynn Krishna
i like both ways but i do agree nothing compares to the original but nothing will right?? So u like this or u don't but know one said u had 2 like both bands. i just think if u like the song then great! if u don't that's ok 2! u don't have 2 like the same music as everyone else! ;D
@97murfy WTF Miley Cyrus covered Smells Like Teen Spirit. Thats it. Locking my door. Turning off lights. Getting high. Loading shot gun. Puting barrel im my mouth.
@Tristen95gi Come on, don't you think that's being a BIT overly dramatic? No one's forcing you to listen to Miley's cover of the song. It's not the end of the world, seriously.
@97murfy I love Nirvana, in fact that's almost all I have listened to in years. But I don't hate on Miley for trying to cover it, sure it was bad but not "insulting". In this day and age of shit music I was so happy to hear that someone in that area of "music" would even think of honoring something like Nirvana. It gives me some hope at least that it won't be this way forever.
@TheDolefish I guess it's good that you look at it like that but I don't think she honoured it by singing it, I think she desecrated it, she sings poorly and it's just not right for a song written by Kurt Cobain, to be sung by a dumbass bimbo like Miley. That's why I found it insulting, if Amy Lee was to cover it, I'd have no problem, it was the fact that it was Miley god damn Cyrus that annoyed me so much. Might as well have been Rebecca Black to cover it.
Do you guy have a band and cover this song or even jam to it? I'm sure you not any better than Nirvana and This. so shut the hell up. If you were exactly the same as Nirvana than why would we listen to you? You gotta be different! That's why I don't listen to screamo. All they do is scream! lol
First of all i will say I love nirvana but kurt will never have my respect as a person i am a musician and a recovering herion addict and I have no resect for a selfish lazy no balls human who takes a gun and blows his brains all over a wall oh how troubled he was BS is what that is if he cared at all about his music or his fans he would have sucked it up and fixed his self the lazy bastard
@exclusionjoe First off, you're a douche. You don't know the effect that the drugs had on him. It's not human nature to be able to off yourself. He was obviously deeply troubled and to talk shit about it makes you a piece of shit.
@exclusionjoe You got some research to do, pal. No one could survive putting 3 lethal doses of heroin in their body, clean the syringe, put it away across the room, and walk back. there's a lot of evidence against suicide, but there's unfortunately no using in proving anyone toward the truth anymore since he can never be revived (except thru his music.) =/
@GFedFan Well.... yea. Unfortunately. You can always find the dude who killed him potentially (to be fair, though I doubt he killed himself) , but it will never bring him back. That is my point.
You people saying this isnt as great as the original, no kidding! But just imagine Kurt trying to sing "Going Under". Kurt isn't Jesus, but Jesus wishes he was Kurt.
I like i think she did it the way that was her way and personally i feel everyone should look at the whole thing and not just the singer....yes amy lee stands out just as well as kurt but listen to see if the band "evanescence" itself is doing the song justice. me personally i feel the guitar is tuned correctly and she tried her best. No one ever sounds just like nirvana, but its all about giving tribute to the band.so much respect to who has the balls to cover nirvana.
I don't mind it. Original is better, as usual, but she isn't bad! She's pretty much very versitile vocally, so I can't find much sung by her to be "bad".
I am both crazy about Nirvana and Evanescence but I don't think it is a very good cover actually... Indeed, the songs is supposed to be quite pathetic so it works with Kurt Cobain's broken voice, but I think Amy Lee's voice is too beautiful to be almost wrong and painful like it is in this version ^^
I don't understand how the hell do you compare Evanescence with Nirvana. Evanescence doesn't have ANYTHING to do with Nirvana ._. you just can't compare two different music styles, It doesn't have any sense at all...If you don't like it, perfect. But Nirvana it's not better than Evanescence, just like Evanescence it's not better than Nirvana, because you CAN'T compare them, being so different. (Sorry if I made mistakes, English it's not my first lenguage)
WOW. I'm very critical of anyone covering anything by Nirvana, and if it doesn't sound like it should I want nothing to do with it but the way she turned this one out is incredible. Beautiful voice
Wow people don't understand what a cover is. A cover song is a song by a band who likes another band and their music. They know this song because they like it a lot and have probably listened to the original a million times. It's different because it's a different band. That is how it should be. It shouldn't be an exact copy or else what is the point?
A good cover not only gives tribute the original band but also puts a unique spin on the art that the original band made. I think Evanescence does this beautifully. Also, I just love Amy's voice!
@RecklessTwistedYouth Why, it's the truth? Let me tell ya, that's a damn important word to screw up, and since the song is pretty damn simple, it's not like there's anything there to cover up the blemish. If you're gonna sing a song this simple, you need to get everything right. I'm not saying she never should have done it--I'm saying there are things she could have done better. Perfectly legit criticism...
@RecklessTwistedYouth I'm a whiny ass? You're the one that goes around calling yourself "reckless twisted youth." I'm a critic. How could I be wrong about not liking something? No disrespect, but Evanescence tend to have a lot of whiney songs, so you really shouldn't go around calling other people whiny if you're so enamored of the whiniest band in history, that you can't even take sound criticism when you hear it...
@NazTb0y THAT DIDN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE. JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP. BOTTOM LINE, BACK TO WHAT STARTED THIS ALL IS YOUR AN IDIOT FOR NOT LIKING IT BECAUSE SHE OVER-DRAMATIZED CANCER. ITS ONE FUCKING WORD. GET YOUR STUPID ASS OVER IT. AND DON'T KNOCK MY USERNAME WHEN NO ONE CAN EVEN READ YOURS.
@RecklessTwistedYouth get a life, kid. Grow up. You don't know shit about music or singing. You're just a mindless fanatic of Amy Lee. Don't tell me to get my stupid ass over anything. You get your stupid ass over my criticism. And Cancer isn't the only thing she screws up. In the refrain, the second time she says "I got a new complaint," she over-dramatizes it again. Like I said, it needs work...
@NazTb0y Im not a fanatic of her, I actually like Nirvana a lot more than I like her, I just came across this when I was listening to Nirvana covers. Stop telling me who I am because you have never even met me. Plus your calling me a kid and telling me to grow up though I could be a lot older than you. And your criticism needs a little work. Its her thing to over dramatize words, its the type of artist and music she is and the type of music genre she does. So hop off.
@RecklessTwistedYouth that was the first argument you made, but it's still wrong. Think about the compound word "over-dramatization." The prefix "over-" means that it's gone beyond a certain limit. It doesn't sound sincere. It sounds like she's trying too hard. She's frigid. Instead of keeping the song the way it was and letting the powerful simplicity create emotion, she felt the need to add her own complications and emphasis. That killed the feeling. Art isn't as subjective as you think...
@NazTb0y She didn't keep the song the it was because its a cover dumb ass. You're not supposed to keep it the same way or else its copying. Seriously, just shut up. You have no idea what you are talking about and you're full of shit.
@RecklessTwistedYouth She already changed the song by singing it with her voice. She sounds a lot different from Cobain and could have brought a charm of her own just in that. But when you go and change the notes and points of emphasis, the changes could be for better or worse. Her changes are for the worse. If you want to hear a good cover, check out any by Night Wish. They improved greatly upon Over the Hills and Far Away without changing a single note!
@RecklessTwistedYouth You strike me as pretty wishy-washy. Do you really just believe that all music is special just the way it is and beyond all criticism?
@RecklessTwistedYouth My Faves: Nightwish, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Screeching Weasel, Elis, some Kate Bush, Rammstein, Nocturne, some Smashing Pumpkins, older Tool, older Green Day, older NIN. Mostly non-mainstream bands... Admittedly, neither Evan. nor Nirv. make the list, but both bands have a couple songs I really like. Going Under by Ev. succeeds where this cover fails. How about you?
@NazTb0y Nice. I likeeee Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Nirvana, Stone Sour, Rob Zombie, Apocalyptica, Korn, Nine Inch Nails, The Offspring, Alkaline Trio, Blink 182, Disturbed, Three Days Grace, NOFX, Flogging Molly, Coheed and Cambria, Foxy Shazam, Less Than Jake, The Queers, Face to Face, Rise Against, Avenged Sevenfold, Buckcherry, Hinder, Kalmah, The Misfits, Papa Roach, Shinedown, Theory of a Deadman, Puddle of Mudd, Ensiferum, Sublime, Hed PE................ hahaha XD
@RecklessTwistedYouth If you like Blink, NOFX and The Queers, you definitely should like Screeching Weasel. As you might know, Blink stole a song from SW and trivialized it, though it's a better remake than this one. NOFX sings in a SW song, and SW got The Queers their start on lookout! records. My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, I think, outdoes Rob Zombie in making sleaze and satanism danceable. Check out Confessions of a Knife, if you don't believe me... Let me know what you think!
@NazTb0y There is a few songs by Screeching Weasel I like :] They just aren't one of my favorites. Anndd I listened to some songs by that band, they really do sound like Rob Zombie but maybe a bit more like his older stuff like when he was White Zombie. Im not really sure if they out do him, Id have to listen to them more but they seem like they really kick ass. By the way, have you ever seen some of the movies Rob Zombie has directed?
@RecklessTwistedYouth I stay away from those movies b/c they've all gotten awful reviews. They're pretty much written off as lots of gore & little sense. I figure--I've only got so long to live, I shouldn't waste it watching dumb movies. Also, I love Carpenter's Halloween & think Zombie's a damned fool for remaking it.. If you like silly horror flicks, the toxic avenger's pretty good. For me, Rob's best stuff is living-dead girl era. Earlier & later I find boring...
it doesen't came as a surprise that Evanescence song this, because ''heart shaped box'' is one of the most sorrow Nirvana song, and Evanescence sing some of the most saddest songs.
Kurt put "Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice" to be sarcastic. He added "Man-eating orchids forgive no one just yet." he put Orchids because they reminded kurt of vaginas and rest because he was fighting with courtney at the time. "Heart Shaped Box" because he and courtney had a collection of heart shaped boxes. Theirs a lot more to the story of how and when he wrote the song but point not really a love song. Just kurt being a smart ass at the time
I think you people think to much about the lyrics... it's a dumb lyric sheet just to say.
If i said i got a pcket full of broken hearts you guys think it's retarded but if kurt says it, it's a message about the next coming of jesus and how he didn't die he's just chilling with 2pac...
@danteras23 This song isnt about a girl. This song is about a child with cancer. "She eyes me like a pieces when i am weak" is giving the cancer human like qualities and its eyeing down the child. "Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet." This describes cancer perfectly, and it forgives nobody, not even a child. "Throw down your umbelical noose so i can climb right back" This refers to the child going back to a familiar state of non existance. Its not about Kurts wife.
@skwidfdjisj Are you actually serious? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard, not to mention 100% wrong. This song is NOT about a child with cancer. The fact that you would think that is absolutely amazing. Cancer is a metaphor. Have you listened to any of Nirvana's stuff? I mean, come on. That is without question the stupidest thing I have ever heard and you should probably delete it because it is that stupid. You're taking it way too literally. I can't emphasize that enough. Wow!
@danteras23 Bro if you would actual look into nirvana theirs a video of him saying what the majority of his songs are about, and he says this song is about a close friends kid who got cancer so he wrote this song for his friend. Nirvana writes in metaphor and each and every metaphor in this song points towards this child having cancer. Dont take it from me look up the video of Kurt saying thats what its about himself.
@skwidfdjisj Bro Kurt said a lot of things. It's a love song. It's about being trapped in a relationship. If you listen the lyrics, that's clear. Why would he say, "I've been trapped inside your heart-shaped box." Come on, man. You can't be serious. You're wrong. "She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak". "When I am weak". Are you that dense? It's an amazing love song with some great lyrics and metaphors. It's too bad it's lost on you. I'm not making fun of you, but you're wrong.
@danteras23 Also "ive been thrown into your magnet tar pit trap" is refering to the cancer leeching everything from the child and it just wont go away. The cancer is like a magnet and just sticks to him multiplying. A tar pit is black and sticks to you if you happen to get it on you, just like cancer.
they're ruining my life..they make everything sound depressing and im pretty sure kurt wasn't dragging every vowel and whining every second..i really hate you right now amy lee and if i c u ooo im reall

I don't understand how the hell do you compare Evanescence with Nirvana. Evanescence doesn't have ANYTHING to do with Nirvana ._. you just can't compare two different music styles, It doesn't have any sense at all...If you don't like it, perfect. But Nirvana it's not better than Evanescence, just like Evanescence it's not better than Nirvana, because you CAN'T compare them, being so different. (Sorry if I made mistakes, English it's not my first lenguage)

Wow people don't understand what a cover is. A cover song is a song by a band who likes another band and their music. They know this song because they like it a lot and have probably listened to the original a million times. It's different because it's a different band. That is how it should be. It shouldn't be an exact copy or else what is the point?

A good cover not only gives tribute the original band but also puts a unique spin on the art that the original band made. I think Evanescence does this beautifully. Also, I just love Amy's voice!

RecklessTwistedYouth 7 months ago 3
@RecklessTwistedYouth Why, it's the truth? Let me tell ya, that's a damn important word to screw up, and since the song is pretty damn simple, it's not like there's anything there to cover up the blemish. If you're gonna sing a song this simple, you need to get everything right. I'm not saying she never should have done it--I'm saying there are things she could have done better. Perfectly legit criticism...

@NazTb0y Oh just shut up. You sound like a whiney ass and you know your wrong.
RecklessTwistedYouth 7 months ago
@RecklessTwistedYouth I'm a whiny ass? You're the one that goes around calling yourself "reckless twisted youth." I'm a critic. How could I be wrong about not liking something? No disrespect, but Evanescence tend to have a lot of whiney songs, so you really shouldn't go around calling other people whiny if you're so enamored of the whiniest band in history, that you can't even take sound criticism when you hear it...
NazTb0y 7 months ago
@NazTb0y THAT DIDN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE. JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP. BOTTOM LINE, BACK TO WHAT STARTED THIS ALL IS YOUR AN IDIOT FOR NOT LIKING IT BECAUSE SHE OVER-DRAMATIZED CANCER. ITS ONE FUCKING WORD. GET YOUR STUPID ASS OVER IT. AND DON'T KNOCK MY USERNAME WHEN NO ONE CAN EVEN READ YOURS.
RecklessTwistedYouth 7 months ago
@RecklessTwistedYouth get a life, kid. Grow up. You don't know shit about music or singing. You're just a mindless fanatic of Amy Lee. Don't tell me to get my stupid ass over anything. You get your stupid ass over my criticism. And Cancer isn't the only thing she screws up. In the refrain, the second time she says "I got a new complaint," she over-dramatizes it again. Like I said, it needs work...
NazTb0y 7 months ago 2
@NazTb0y Im not a fanatic of her, I actually like Nirvana a lot more than I like her, I just came across this when I was listening to Nirvana covers. Stop telling me who I am because you have never even met me. Plus your calling me a kid and telling me to grow up though I could be a lot older than you. And your criticism needs a little work. Its her thing to over dramatize words, its the type of artist and music she is and the type of music genre she does. So hop off.
RecklessTwistedYouth 7 months ago
@RecklessTwistedYouth that was the first argument you made, but it's still wrong. Think about the compound word "over-dramatization." The prefix "over-" means that it's gone beyond a certain limit. It doesn't sound sincere. It sounds like she's trying too hard. She's frigid. Instead of keeping the song the way it was and letting the powerful simplicity create emotion, she felt the need to add her own complications and emphasis. That killed the feeling. Art isn't as subjective as you think...
NazTb0y 7 months ago
@NazTb0y She didn't keep the song the it was because its a cover dumb ass. You're not supposed to keep it the same way or else its copying. Seriously, just shut up. You have no idea what you are talking about and you're full of shit.
RecklessTwistedYouth 7 months ago
@RecklessTwistedYouth She already changed the song by singing it with her voice. She sounds a lot different from Cobain and could have brought a charm of her own just in that. But when you go and change the notes and points of emphasis, the changes could be for better or worse. Her changes are for the worse. If you want to hear a good cover, check out any by Night Wish. They improved greatly upon Over the Hills and Far Away without changing a single note!

@NazTb0y Just out of curiosity, what bands do you like?
RecklessTwistedYouth 7 months ago
@RecklessTwistedYouth My Faves: Nightwish, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Screeching Weasel, Elis, some Kate Bush, Rammstein, Nocturne, some Smashing Pumpkins, older Tool, older Green Day, older NIN. Mostly non-mainstream bands... Admittedly, neither Evan. nor Nirv. make the list, but both bands have a couple songs I really like. Going Under by Ev. succeeds where this cover fails. How about you?
NazTb0y 7 months ago
@NazTb0y Nice. I likeeee Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Nirvana, Stone Sour, Rob Zombie, Apocalyptica, Korn, Nine Inch Nails, The Offspring, Alkaline Trio, Blink 182, Disturbed, Three Days Grace, NOFX, Flogging Molly, Coheed and Cambria, Foxy Shazam, Less Than Jake, The Queers, Face to Face, Rise Against, Avenged Sevenfold, Buckcherry, Hinder, Kalmah, The Misfits, Papa Roach, Shinedown, Theory of a Deadman, Puddle of Mudd, Ensiferum, Sublime, Hed PE................ hahaha XD
RecklessTwistedYouth 7 months ago
@RecklessTwistedYouth If you like Blink, NOFX and The Queers, you definitely should like Screeching Weasel. As you might know, Blink stole a song from SW and trivialized it, though it's a better remake than this one. NOFX sings in a SW song, and SW got The Queers their start on lookout! records. My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, I think, outdoes Rob Zombie in making sleaze and satanism danceable. Check out Confessions of a Knife, if you don't believe me... Let me know what you think!
NazTb0y 7 months ago
@NazTb0y There is a few songs by Screeching Weasel I like :] They just aren't one of my favorites. Anndd I listened to some songs by that band, they really do sound like Rob Zombie but maybe a bit more like his older stuff like when he was White Zombie. Im not really sure if they out do him, Id have to listen to them more but they seem like they really kick ass. By the way, have you ever seen some of the movies Rob Zombie has directed?
RecklessTwistedYouth 7 months ago
@RecklessTwistedYouth I stay away from those movies b/c they've all gotten awful reviews. They're pretty much written off as lots of gore & little sense. I figure--I've only got so long to live, I shouldn't waste it watching dumb movies. Also, I love Carpenter's Halloween & think Zombie's a damned fool for remaking it.. If you like silly horror flicks, the toxic avenger's pretty good. For me, Rob's best stuff is living-dead girl era. Earlier & later I find boring...

it doesen't came as a surprise that Evanescence song this, because ''heart shaped box'' is one of the most sorrow Nirvana song, and Evanescence sing some of the most saddest songs.
ZamolxisGebeleizis 1 year ago
Kurt put "Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice" to be sarcastic. He added "Man-eating orchids forgive no one just yet." he put Orchids because they reminded kurt of vaginas and rest because he was fighting with courtney at the time. "Heart Shaped Box" because he and courtney had a collection of heart shaped boxes. Theirs a lot more to the story of how and when he wrote the song but point not really a love song. Just kurt being a smart ass at the time

@danteras23 This song isnt about a girl. This song is about a child with cancer. "She eyes me like a pieces when i am weak" is giving the cancer human like qualities and its eyeing down the child. "Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet." This describes cancer perfectly, and it forgives nobody, not even a child. "Throw down your umbelical noose so i can climb right back" This refers to the child going back to a familiar state of non existance. Its not about Kurts wife.
skwidfdjisj 1 year ago
@skwidfdjisj Are you actually serious? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard, not to mention 100% wrong. This song is NOT about a child with cancer. The fact that you would think that is absolutely amazing. Cancer is a metaphor. Have you listened to any of Nirvana's stuff? I mean, come on. That is without question the stupidest thing I have ever heard and you should probably delete it because it is that stupid. You're taking it way too literally. I can't emphasize that enough. Wow!
danteras23 1 year ago
@danteras23 Bro if you would actual look into nirvana theirs a video of him saying what the majority of his songs are about, and he says this song is about a close friends kid who got cancer so he wrote this song for his friend. Nirvana writes in metaphor and each and every metaphor in this song points towards this child having cancer. Dont take it from me look up the video of Kurt saying thats what its about himself.
skwidfdjisj 1 year ago
@skwidfdjisj Bro Kurt said a lot of things. It's a love song. It's about being trapped in a relationship. If you listen the lyrics, that's clear. Why would he say, "I've been trapped inside your heart-shaped box." Come on, man. You can't be serious. You're wrong. "She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak". "When I am weak". Are you that dense? It's an amazing love song with some great lyrics and metaphors. It's too bad it's lost on you. I'm not making fun of you, but you're wrong.
danteras23 1 year ago
@danteras23 Also "ive been thrown into your magnet tar pit trap" is refering to the cancer leeching everything from the child and it just wont go away. The cancer is like a magnet and just sticks to him multiplying. A tar pit is black and sticks to you if you happen to get it on you, just like cancer.
