to all the people who are raging that nirvana covers suck: chill... Nirvana are a hard as fuck band to cover. Seriously. I've tried many times. And it's not that the people in question are bad musicians. They're just hard as shit to immitate without sounding a cunt. Nirvana ftw.

for people who hate this cover, weezer doesnt care, doesnt care, doesnt care, and im sure Grohl, Cobain and novoselic doesnt mind doesnt mind doesnt mind.

I was just casually listening to this while doing other things and forgot that I wasn't listening to Nirvana..... and I'm a big Nirvana fan so I'm not easily fooled!

paying homage to someone they obviously loved is fine. this is fine. pop wankers jumping on the bandwagon tho is not fine. a shovel in the face of pop....."as beautiful as a rock in a cops face."

his voice was certainly not tailored for this...

What was this recorded on, a mobile phone that someone had secreted deep inside their anus? I have no problem at all with Nirvana covers, I just wish I could hear it.

@shitlerize because they cant just go to a recording studio and record it without getting permission

I love Weezer and I think it is a pretty good cover but in my opinion OTEP did an amazing fucking job at covering this song!!!

@MrDeaders covering another band's music isn't about making a flawless imitation, it's what happens when a musician thinks 'this song would sound brilliant if we applied my band's style to it' .. compare jimi hendrix's and the red hot chili peppers's versions of fire, or led zeppelin's and tool's versions of no quarter .. .. weezer are an okay band, but they don't have a distinct enough sound to make a cover of a song by a band like nirvana not sound like a cheap charicature of that band
