Nirvana School Live at Reading 1992

[pollywolly67]

i LOVE nirvana. pennyroyal tea was the second song i learned on guitar, cactus by the pixies was the first i learned. but school has turned into one of my favorite nirvana songs and this has gotta be the best live show of them performing it.

[riskyroads2]

Grohl beats the hell out of those drums!!!!!!!

[MCKOYYYY]

yeah!!

[jbrown1169]

For only being 3 guys, Nirvana made a $hitload of noise. I think that's why I was such a big Nirvana fan growing up, it wasn't over-produced stuff, it was musice me and my friends to replicate in the garage. That, and the fact that it sounded REALLY good. And yes, I was in a Nirvana cover band in high school, Rape Me was the first song I ever learned to play.

[andrew18651]

simple and intense

[CGreenC]

Whenever I read youtube comments I end up with a feeling of disappointment. everyone seems to be a music historian these days, Just shut your faces and listen to this great song. Who cares if it's grunge, or alternative, or whatever... it's music. If it speaks to you, then just shut your mouth, open your mind, and appreciate it.

[schmev69]

Agree with CGreenC. Shut your faces!

[Bretwantsfun]

it makes me laugh, everytime i go on a nirvana video everyones fucking arguing. who gives a fuck?! nobody. nirvana are the shit, now listen to em

[sethte]

@Bretwantsfun i agree, i think kurt would find it funny that people would be arguing about his life and other shit like that

[andywilsonesq]

@fucksticks

No recess

[Grabash666]

great band! great gig!

[itsmebee]

hahah i love those ''i-know-more-about-music-than­-you'' discussions

[theyankeesbeatles]

courtney love is like the yoko ono of the 90s i hate both of em

[crissicronic]

Fuck yeah!

I hope Courtney chokes and dies, that legend killing bitch.

[xTaylorTerrorx]

Dudes listen to this shooting out to bedhead7400 and NeaonBHB. Nirvana was the start of a period called grunge little kiddies.

[152121leandro]

yeah...theres some auto tunes in here...hehehe

in this gig nirvana fucked up...

[xalvaradox]

no man!! i was there!! sounds amazing...like dvd!!! i remember like that

[missyoutub3]

i love kurt so god damn much.

[Sergie56]

if you shot is much dope as him youd be inconsistant too

[bedhead7400]

FUckin PUNK ROCK RIGHT HERE!!! YA

[NeaonBHB]

@bedhead7400 Nirvana is about as punk as AFI

[kurowskijacek]

dare to compare nirvana to afi. you re an idiot. buaha afi

[NoStairway57]

AFI's first albums were punk as fuck actually, they made great punk music before they went more mainstream. Answer That and Stay Fashionable was a kick-ass album.

[xTaylorTerrorx]

Nirvana was the start of a period called grunge little kiddie.

[alexthemod1]

@xTaylorTerrorx no, nirvana wasnt the start of grunge at all 'little kiddie'

[bedhead7400]

if u actually know anything about nirvana then u should know they never defined their music as "grunge" whatever that is, go see for yourself "little kiddie"

[andrew18651]

wow nice picture wuality

[hejminrumse]

Wow, amazing.

[Ieyot]

get some flames on 2:18-2:19 on the side that would be so badass

[mrtall1994]

that would be

[GNRlova23]

i bought the dvd the day it came out and i tell you its worth every penny. its a great fit for all rockers and nirvana fans

[AhnmHenrique]

Damn I love this song lol

Great definition and video mix

[aidan16586]

That's fucking deadly. Sounds great - nice mixing job by whoever did it.

[craisslayer]

I think they did some vocal editing too. I love Nirvana and stuff, but Kurt usually sings very sloppily and out of tune live. I think they edited it a bit to make it more consumer friendly.

[DeadKennedysNirvana8]

Not at all. List to silver and tell me they edited the vocals. You can also here him cough while singing D-7. This is live raw and Nirvana at peak.

[craisslayer]

haha i guess ure right. nirvana is sure inconsistent tho :/

[DeadKennedysNirvana8]

Not really inconsistent. More of a raw band. They were punk (which is not pretty, it is sloppy fun raw and loud) lol.

[kurowskijacek]

they changed the pitch a little. thats all

[punk91]

@kurowskijacek right... they're playing a half step down from standard tuning.

[Drewski6410]

actually usually he is just fooling around live. this is not edited its just that this was a huge concert so they took it more seriously

[TJae1]

good stuff ~ lyrics ~ who needs lyrics

[JOYD1V1SION4glancy]

i thought id seen it all...then i brought this dvd....and it is simply the best performance in music history, r.i.p thank you, music is...fuckin shit compared to this, so fake and they only care about the money nowa days..no body cares for music anymore

[NeaonBHB]

@JOYD1V1SION4glancy You are a complete and utter moron. Please continue to talk, so that everyone with an I.Q. above that of quick dry cement can point at you and laugh.

[JOYD1V1SION4glancy]

well you stupid fuckin fuck face, do you wanna explain why you have just had a fanny paddy for know fuckin reason, or are you too busy shoving your dick in your dog....by dog i meen mother. what is it exacly you disagree with cock nose, you could have just disagreed kindly but...no...fuck you, please explain

[NeaonBHB]

"explain why you have just had a fanny paddy for know fuckin reason"

LOL ahahahah oh man what in the world does that mean? Lol you are too funny

[JOYD1V1SION4glancy]

you say it to someone when they are being a little bitch, and thank you, i do have a good sense of humour :o)

[mcrouble]

This is what the Kurt Cobain's Rock is.....

Fucking Cool...

[MrMichaeljenkins]

Very inspiring.

[DisapearHere]

this is fuckin awsome, three guys who just didnt give a fuck, but made fukin great music. very fukin heavy !

[bellsonrich]

Nirvana never gave a shit about going mainstream or not. No one thought the album was gonna be so big. The reason their so good is cause its only 3 guys putting out that much sound. Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden(my favorite) are all great FUCKING BANDS. They all help put grunge on the map one way or another. I dont give a fuck about Alice in Chains. Mudhoney, Green River and the Melvins were like the precursors to what become grunge. Those guys are good too.

[aPerfecTooI]

you talk about Alice in Chains yet Pearl Jam is the biggest fucking sell out band of the century.

[bellsonrich]

What the fuck? Im not talking about who sold out first nor give a shit.

[PJMoreau94]

yeah

[ThomasMoar]

Best version ive heard of this song.

[Sl4shRocks]

so much better than the album version

[Tochihuitzin]

Nirvana fuckin rocksss

Kurt is probably smiling in the Nirvana with Jimmi Hendirx and Morrison

[Bretwantsfun]

kurt would be too wild to sit in a room with them to hes probably reeking havoc woth sid vicious somewhere

[mintybartlam]

I was at Reading '92. Wasn't standing near the front for Nirvana, but from my position the sound was weedy & washed out & I got bored watching them. People nearer the stage thought they sounded great, but I was really disappointed. Melvins & Nick Cave were highlights for me.

[samsharpeye]

Christ he could play drums

[ponto3]

@samsharpeye thats super dave for ya.. a true musician

[kcobainrock]

i played this at my school in SA the teachers complained because it was too noisy haha there was a shit load of feedback

[Drewski6410]

i think bleach is better than nevermind. im the biggest nirvana fan ever and smells like teen spirit is my least favorite nirvana song

[GrUnGeFoReVeR4594]

I agree with you, Nevermind had a few decent songs, but Bleach was perfect. And Smells like Teen Spirit sucks. I'd say School, or You Know You're Right are their best.

[Drewski6410]

haha those are actually my 2 favorite songs too

[camotero1]

WOW. What an ass-kicking song. It's nice to hear Cobain's grungy lead on this--very sparse in notes but powerful. Grohl (sp?) plays a mean f%#&ing drum! To think that he was "just" a drummer with Nirvana, compared to the success he's had as a frontman, says volumes about Kurt Cobain and his songwriting.

[kurtcrowbain]

the vocals just don't sound right on this DVD. they're boxed in with a studio room reverb. they sounded better on the bootlegs with big echo & delay

[realgez20]

I agree, theres probably to much production with this, on the plus side the bass sounds top

[ponto3]

thats what weve been trying to tell this douche but he prefers to stick with his top 40.. were not trying to say nirvana was the only one to make alt and grunge popular.. a large contributor tho.

[ponto3]

You cant sit there and tell me that Nirvana wasnt an influential band because they didnt do so great on the charts. the fuckin jonas brothers can do so well but there still not gonna get me to jump out my chair and dance like a son of a bitch like i do to nirvana!

[mrshibshab]

they didnt do well in the charts, who gives a fuck if they didnt do well in the 'pop' charts!

people were too narrow minded to understand the genius of kurt cobain :D

[NeaonBHB]

I guess only I see the irony in half the people posting here declaring Nirvana the most influential band of the 90's, and the other half posting about how people didn't 'get' Nirvana.

Heh oh well, I can still enjoy it.

[DanHogan145]

Hahaha! Just checked his account and apparently he is a huge "Diddy" fan.

It is obvious you don't like Nirvana, so why not do something better with yourself instead of trolling the comment sections of their videos.

[NeaonBHB]

lol wut?

[thinmanthewise]

people are unfriendly on youtube

[TheHumannBee]

Actually, Nirvana sucks. Pavement is the best group of the 90s.

[oxrjbizzle1984y]

you gotta love kurt's anti-guitar solos, pure punk!

[giovagrunge]

Neanon, Nirvana became popular and successful since the 14th of september 1991, when Nevermind was released. Kurt's death made them idols, but if they didn't create good music they couldn't be considered as a magnificent group. They did a lot for music, sure.

[27Tomppa]

Well, it definitely is true that the premature death of Kurt in odd circumstances has made Nirvana more renown, but I don't think that Nirvanas music is overrated at all. I respect if you personally don't like their music, everyone has the right to have their own musical tastes, but you can't deny the fact that they have influenced so many people around the world. That doesn't happen for nothing and you should respect that, even if you don't like their music at all.

[joyegreg]

The editor needs to calm down. Otherwise, pure awesome.

[guitaralica123]

tbh neaon your just a shit individual for thinking someone commiting suicide makes them overrated when there gone. People love nirvana because of there music, and its nothing but sad to now that they we never do anything more because of kurts death, there certainly not overated

[NeaonBHB]

Its amazing how overrated Nirvana is since Kurt went and blew his brains out

[Corvyn]

It's amazing how annoyingly ignorant you are. Popular? Sure, but not overrated. What the hell does Kurt killing himself have to do with how popular or over rated they are?

[NeaonBHB]

lol your'e a dumbass. You cannot argue against the fact that lead singers of band dying/killing themselves does anything but make the band more popular. All the little fanbois jump on the bandwagon saying how much they loved them, and the corporations quickly spit out a dozen albums to fill the crushing demand.

Look at Sublime, Blind Melon, Tupac, Biggie, Aaliyah, etc. All are far overrated from where they were before they died.

[Corvyn]

That makes no sense though, you think if the Jonas Brothers' jet blew up they would be any more popular in the coming years? I bet people would say "Oh, what a tragedy" and in 5 years a new pop icon would appear for mindless people to worship.

Those artists you mentioned, and you could have said the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, Pink Floyd etc etc, were good musicians in their own right, their deaths are a tragedy because we have less of their great music. Be respectful.

[NeaonBHB]

The problem with your argument is that the artists you list actually had a significant, successful career before their deaths. Nirvana had, what? 1 hit off of Nevermind, no hits off of In Utero, disappointing record sales, and flash in the pan talk. Then Cobain offs himself and all of a sudden they are "the most influential band of the 90's", cmon. Even if you're a hardcore fanboy you can be honest about this.

[Corvyn]

"Nevermind became Nirvana's first number one album on January 11, 1992, replacing Michael Jackson at the top of the Billboard charts. By this time, Nevermind was selling approximately 300,000 copies a week.[42] "Come As You Are" was finally released as the second single in March 1992; it peaked at number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.[43] Two more singles, "Lithium" and "In Bloom", were released from the album."

Think before you speak

[NeaonBHB]

Oh believe me, I did.

In Bloom - Failed to Chart

Come as you are - 32, top 100

Lithium - 64, top 100

On a Plain - Failed to Chart

Heart Shaped Box - Failed to Chart

Rape Me - Failed to Chart

Pennyroyal Tea - Failed to Chart

All Apologies - Failed to Chart

You, sir, should do the thinking before you speak.

[albertojm]

Did you knew cassette tapes? yes, we used to copy them too, anyway... influence it's not measured in record sales. You should be listening Jonas brother instead of watching this damn video.

[Corvyn]

You suffer from selective reading, where by you only extract information pertinent to your own arguments rather than reading the article as a whole. "Nevermind was selling approximately 300,000 copies a week." It went platinum in a month. :/

[NeaonBHB]

LOL So did Vanilla Ice, what's your point?

[Corvyn]

Vanilla Ice didn't off himself, although he probably should have, and that was your original argument, that Nirvana was only popular after Kurt's death, which simply is not true. That's my point.

[NeaonBHB]

I never said that Nirvana was only popular after Kurt's death, if you learn how to read. I said their popularity and perceived influence skyrocketed after his death (i.e. overrated). Those are two separate concepts (take a reading class!)

[Corvyn]

Not everyone means what you do when they say overrated. I thought you meant Nirvana was not as good a band as they actually were, not that people give them more credit for being influential then they deserve. That might actually be true. As you said alt-rocks rise in popularity had as much to do with PJ, STP, Radiohead etc.

However, I guarantee Nirvana, Sublime, Blind Melon and many other bands would have successfully earned the popularity they received had they gotten more of a chance.

[asir1234567]

yes i get you

nirvana sucks

everybody in the world should know they are not great

they are one hit losers

kurt cobain was depprese fag that wanted attention

yes i get your point

every song nirvana made sucked ass because it didnt hit the Billboard where we that to be amazing you need to on it and now see great artists such as the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus on it

yes i get your point 100%

SO EVERYBODY ON THIS YOUTUBE PAGE

LISTEN TO NeaonBHB BECAUSE HE IS 100% RIGHT IN WHAT HE SAYS

[DanHogan145]

Lulz, are you kidding me? Nirvana had like 4 hits off Nevermind and at least 2 off of In Utero, (Rape Me and Heart Shaped Box).

You really know nothing, do you? Nirvana popularized alternative music and brought it out of the specialty section of record shops, for better or for worse...What's on the radio now? Oh yeah! ALTERNATIVE MUSIC. /end

[NeaonBHB]

LOL! You have no clue at all. Go ahead, pull up the Billboard top 40 for that time period and find 6 different Nirvana songs on it. Seriously, go ahead.

As for popularizing alternative music.. yeah. It was JUST nirvana. I'm sure Pearl Jam, STP, Soundgarden etc had NOTHING to do with it.

[DanHogan145]

Did I say it was was just Nirvana? Why don't YOU read you stupid troll.

Nirvana was the first MAJOR chart-topping alt band therefore they are given the title of popularizing alternative music. Soundgarden and Pearl Jam helped out...Although Soundgarden is more of just a weird metal band than grunge/alt.

[NeaonBHB]

Ten - released August 27th 1991

Nevermind - released September 24th 1991

Oh dammmn LOL owned hahaha man keep talkin please it is sooooo funny

[RexDeRoss]

Lol Which sold better on initial release? Nevermind. Ten sales started out slow then rose after Nevermind came out and when the grunge era started to take hold.

Hmmm....Ten became popular after Nirvana's breakaway success...I think any further arguing on the topic will just solidify Dan's arguement.

Regardless Ten did in fact sell better than Nevermind and eclipsed its sales in 1993. Both are great albums.

Go back under your bridge please Mr. Troll.

[Hellagoodedie]

without nevermind we wouldnt have even been broken into grunge (yet) haha who knows ten might not have even gotten big at all without nirvana. good points rex

[Lcacique]

Speak for yourself, there were those of us who were well aware of bands like Soundgarden, Malfunkshun, Green River, Mudhoney, and the Melvins. We did not need Nevermind and its heavy rotation on Mtv to serve as a signal that there was good music being made in the Northwest. More importantly, Nirvana were standing on the shoulders of many bands that came before them.

[Redbeast92]

nevermind...1 hit only?all the songs were good

in utero...no hits?

the songs on in utero were even better than nevermind.

nirvana made aprox imatedly 70 million dolars until today.

you only say ugly lies

[oxrjbizzle1984y]

kurt cobain is a legend, your a fucking nobody neaonbhb, shut up loser!!! nirvana was easily one of the best groups of the 90s!!! and they were VERY important for rock in the 90s, actually music in general!

[NeaonBHB]

lol sheep

[dmac1725]

Gives me the shivers. Just fantastic kick ass rock.

[PjCarrigan1]

Too bad Grohl makes all that shite commercial easy listening adult music now.  Cobain forever.

[MacGruber33]

@kritikkal have u heard his new band with Josh Homme and John Paul Jones? they sound pretty good. them crooked vultures

[kritikkal]

I agree with the Them Crooked Vultures. Sounds great and JPJ is God. Just really disappointed in the direction of the Foos material. After the amazing first album Grohl put together...the stuff is just hollow to me.

[checochivas]

[lmbbylmb]

wish it could have been on Blu-ray but it was shot video and then the Blu-ray would be fake HD...Nirvana doesn't deserve that...

[ghkdtjdguq1]

prefer CD+DVD because only seeing a DVD is not enough. listen to CD and see the booklet will fill you more.

[kamruz13]

Cant wait! Anuerysm's gonna be killer!

[fjnm]

AMAZING! can't wait, the quality is superb!! Checking the School video makes me think how much this music still sounds modern...

[Sappy98]

That would have been the best performance and the best band to ever hit reading or any other festival...EVER
