You’re right!!! I misspoke - again. Thx Frank. You sir, get the pin.

Yeah was like Wait What? Another Mandela effect. Lol 😂 👌

@@Guitargate If you have time, check out Harvey Milk "Get it up and get it on" for some amazing bass. These guys are friends and mainly lumped into stoner rock but this was from their "rock" album. Amazing players. Singer/guitarist went to the Peabody Conservatory for percussion. He's amazing but the bass player was on point in this song.

I'll rely on whatever AOC says

Thought so. I remember I was 2 when it happened

Lol. Rule #1: standard flat.

Rule No.2 Nirvana guitar/tab books are mostly always wrong. My theory is the guys who transcribe them are probably academic Malmsteen/Vai/Clapton worshippers who hate punky stuff that breaks rules and deliberately throw in curve balls to show their disregard for Cobain.

I kinda feel this way with nevermind especially. The actual album versions sound too polished to me but the live versions of those songs are dope af

So true

Couldn't agree more I only listen to there live concerts😂

Yes an Instrument of any sorts should be used to express the one who is playing it. I think Kurt Cobain really was a example of how u can not be the “best” but he knew what sounded good to him and apparently thousands of people thought it sounded good as while

Holy shit you just made me wanna learn how to play again

@@parkercasteel795 Thousands? Tens of millions. I've always told people who are afraid of the difficulty of playing guitar "just play. If it sounds good to you it sounds good".

I cut my caluses to Nevermind then In Utero

They didn't let Dave loose very often when in Nirvana, but when they did it was pretty outstanding.

Something really cool in Dave’s new book, he’s talking about how when they would jam, it wasn’t like Kurt would just say, “hey guys I wrote a song”. He’d just play something new and they’d improvise around it. He said he always knew when Kurt was getting close to a chorus, cause he’d inch his converse closer and closer to his pedals. And just before he kicked it for the distortion, Dave would hit the snare like lighting the fuse on a bomb, and then he’d beat the shit outta the drums for the explosion that followed. It’s a cool insight into how they came up with that really tight sound that goes between dynamics. Good tips for any musicians really, being attentive to stuff like that, conscious or not, is gonna breed good chemistry.

@@connoranderson7432 wow great insight and great comment thanks for sharing that it’s the story teller book ?

@@kevenrowe2958 yep! I got the audiobook, he actually reads it himself! :)

@@connoranderson7432 Great audiobook indeed. Dave said when he's sitting behind a drum set he still sees Kurt out front.

Expression has no form or measure.

Dude they practiced a shit ton

"Perfect is the enemy of good"

@@raymondclass6794 No shit, otherwise they wouldn't have come this far. Does practise equal to perfection? Well, they are perfect in their own way.

@@raymondclass6794 ur missing the point

This is definitely the best nirvana song/performance on KZfaq. Elite level stuff.

how was kurt like in person and to be around?

@@taylorskilj8256 It's funny that I can't really offer an opinion/impression that would be accurate- we attended Evergreen at the same time and I was at some of the dorm parties all the bands played at, including these guys. I bought an old rat guitar pedal from him at one point. They were "just another band" in the moment along with Dangermouse and Herd of Turtles, etc, but I remember they were very serious about it and practiced a lot in the music building. They appeared to derive a lot of satisfaction from the moments they created together musically and with the audiences - it was a communal experience and culture- not separated by band vs audience. It was a party and shared attitude. I remember thinking he was having a lot of fun during the paramount gig in particular. Bikini Kill opened that show and it was a big moment for Olympia music impacting the nascent Seattle grunge scene. Wierd times because we didn't know how big it would become so quickly. I actually declined to book a band at the college that was newly reformed with some new singer from California from the ashes of Mother Love Bone after Andrew died and had just changed their name from "Mookie Blaylock" to "Pearl Jam", which we all thought was a stupid name. Would have been a fun show in retrospect!

@@icyd22 i always wonder what it must’ve been like to be around kurt and work with him, or even just be in the crowd of a nirvana concert. i wish i was the age i am currently in the early 90’s to understand his impact

@@taylorskilj8256 History and time has made it somewhat bigger than it felt at the time although we were aware we were riding a wavefront of a different kind, but didn't have context to view it objectively. Just went along for the ride. I think that while Kurt was a modest and self-counscious-seeming person privately, he was aware that he could harness music and rock it uniquely and did so vigorously, maybe without knowing why, other than he had no choice if he was to be genuine in his life. There is a power in that approach to living one's life we can learn from and apply now on a personal level and perhaps that is the take away... and it's still great music to enjoy :)

@@icyd22 Thanks for your contribution and for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated.

In terms of musical composition it’s actually quite technical. Guitar or bass wise it’s easy to play but it doesn’t mean the music isn’t technical.

@@rickdaniels1000 Technical proficiency shouldn't even be discussed People think Nirvana played simple songs but their song composition was anything but simple. It was chemistry and emotion and fire

@@Chris-wq3pe their music IS technical. Given the chord structures cobain had a knack for finding obscure melodies within those chords that definitely would not be considered standard composition. Have a look at the spider diagrams of the nirvana songs that are mapped out on hook theory, they’re all off the charts in complexity compared to other songs.

"So come on over and shoot the shit" is my fav lol

song is about shooting up heroin

She keeps it pumping straight to my heart

@@hunterdavis3003 Yeah, that's a good one too.

Exactly. Its actually NOT that easy to move around like him, while sounding that good. Lots people would be missing chords and notes

It's sounds amazing to me..like noise rock ala scratch acid mixed with beatles abba for real

Yeaaah man ive always wondered how he done that

ehhh he definitely hits some bum notes/chords but it still is awesome

@@OGGOAT23 nailed it

It’s my favourite album of theirs! School is a monster

Bleach is definitely my favorite album.

Same as the others, Bleach is my favourite. The day after I first heard Sells Like Teen Spirit I went to buy Nevermind. It was sold out, so I bought Bleach, and Anthrax's Among The Living. I never bothered with the Anthrax, but Bleach was a killer. So heavy, and so catchy.

Glad to see fellow Bleach enthusiasts out there! ✊

Loved playing *SCHOOL* in the car taking kids to start of middle school, yelling “NO more RECESS!”

All those 91 era ones are good, Paradiso has a good one too

@@jeremyhead7546 I prefer Reading festival '92 for alotta their songs, including Aneurysm.

@@furryhoof647 It's weird how different that one sounds from the ones just less than a year before it, their sound changed quickly.

In Utero captured the last vestiges of that best.

Cobain also credits the Pixies as a big influence. Although i'm a huge Pixies fan, i don't hear very much similarity between the two bands. Free expression is what Pixies are all about, so maybe that's the similarity. For ppl who might enjoy the sound of 90s alternative rock but weirder, i recommend anything from Pixies in the 80s.

@@furryhoof647 100% Pixies are an amazing group. I've heard the quiet loud reference in relation to Nirvana as well as Kurt saying the SLTS is pixieish due to this factor. What one hears may not translate to others though! Very subjective at times.

@@End-Result A molten mix of Bleach and Nevermind melded with the experience of all in between. Most excellent album 👌🏼

Do you remember who opened?

Avant Garde is a word that isn’t used enough when it comes to Nirvana.

Absolutely Adam!

They are my favorite tracks too.

Hey do mean hoe the melodies dont match the cords, but they go together so well some how?

Way better than jazz

@@LJ7000 yo jazz is great dude. I love listening to Jazz when it rains, its a form healing. John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk etc. truss dude try it. Listen to guys like that I promise you it wont let you down. Oh shit you wanna hear a great drummer that beats any of the metal drummers, Max Roach bro! Trust me man I’m a huge Nirvana supporter, look at my account name, but these dudes are awesome. Peep game bro!

Beatles . he listened to Beatles while in the studio.

Sometimes he played a jazz master...but I don't believe he liked jazz music.

Agreed....

Plus he had his own identifiable sound. Not so easy for a bassist. His sound is his only really.

I believe it’s the only one ever captured on film. 16mm. All other footage is video.

4,shut up!

And sings. Dude was raw AF all around.

Im pretty sure he gets immense amounts of credit. Hes on lists for being popular. Songwriting obviously. Guitar virtouso type attention however wont find him as it really shouldnt.

Strange... cuz according to this guy, Cobain was dead in 92!

My girlfriend woke me up that morning just to tell me. She knew how much it meant. I just stayed in bed all day crying.

Chris death hit me hard i was too young for Cobain and not into grunge yet when Layne passed

oh he does, he's great

Yup!

Not allways, he worked with different tunings from Drop-C to F standar in his 8-year career.

The paramount tuning is f.

@@elgoocho It's en E bro, in youtube there's a full concert video with the sound shifted up one semitone

@@rafaelcabralwilliams i remember a vid about the tuning at that show,they seemed to be high? Must be the vid you mentioned,i really can't remember it was ages ago👍🤟

only after 1993

Me too. Me too.

Me too

I think you nailed it. The great vocal harmonies and melodies contrasted with the raw energy and dissonant guitar sounds. That’s what made Nirvana and no one has really matched them since

I think that’s why a lot of non musical people talk shit about Kurt. One of the hardest things to do in music is to write a catchy simple song.

@@GiviFaaip exactly and if it was easy then everyone would be able to do it.

Kids don’t follow. That’s a good one.

The pixies. Kurt was a huge fan even said they influenced him

@@GodWeenSatan As did the replacement but didn’t admit to it. The replacements were alternative before alternative was cool.

I have a feeling he’s familiar with The Replacements.

@@MikeB12800 yeah he probably is,
