The drummer is Dave Grohl. He started Foo Fighters after Nirvana and is the singer/guitarist.

The world was a better place with Kurt in it. He was a kind, gentle, misunderstood soul.

With the Beatles comparison, Kurt loved the Beatles and a fun fact. When having to add extra vocals to tracks, Butch Vigg would tell Kurt that the Beatles did it so he'd be less stubborn and go through with it

Kurt Cobain was so far from sociopathic. He probably cared too much.

Live at The Paramount is the essential performance of Breed

You totally need to check out the Nirvana Unplugged album!

I never knew I needed Christoph Waltz reacting to Nirvana until now and I love it!

Kurt played all the rhythm and lead guitar parts, in the studio. The lead guitar is double-tracked, with both tracks bussed to an aux channel with a flanger insert on the aux bus. The rhythm guitars are also multi-tracked, at LEAST twice. I can’t recall what it was anymore, but they used an interesting blend of amplifiers on the guitars to give them that saturation. Later on, on tour, they recruited guitarist Pat Smear from the Germs to play rhythm guitar whilst Kurt would solo..or make other, less musical, sounds with his guitar.

Definitely listen to the other albums as well! They all got great touches! 26:23 Krist Novoselic is the Bassist. Super ahead of his time. Maybe not the most elaborate, but the Best bassist of the Genre in my opinion.

30:34 funfact!: those static sounds are actually just kurt going tsssssss with his mouth

Butch Vig who produced the album preferred the songs to sound "larger than life" as in more massive with double tracked vocals and more guitar tracks than would be possible for the trio to perform live. Kurt liked his studio recordings to mirror what they sound like live, so very bare bones production. First Kurt didn't want to double track vocals and record so many guitar tracks but Butch either persuaded him by saying John Lennon (One of Kurt's idols) did it as well, or straight up lied and said he forgot to record so Kurt had to play it again. Kurt usually dismissed any questions about the lyrics and never spoke truthfully about the meanings, but his notebooks are full of poems and stories that he took parts from and put them into the song, so there was some kind of meaning put behind them. Butch definitely made the record sound next level, he produced some very iconic 90s albums. If you are going to listen to more Nirvana, In Utero is a more raw album produced by Steve Albini and Bleach is also a more raw album that costed the band only 600 dollars to record. DEFINITELY watch some live performances.

Growing up with this album I always used to think Lounge act is criminally underrated. My friends thought I was nuts because it’s the song I liked the most.

Bro you gotta react to In utero and Bleach after this. Especially In utero

*Nice reaction - you're hilarious! A few things-* 1) FYI - You couldn't skip to endless nameless because it was on the same track as Something in the Way but with 10 minutes of silence between the songs. 2) You should check out some other Grunge bands - most of them were from Seattle but they all sounded a little different. For starters I'd recommend Pearl Jam - "Ten", Soundgarden - "Superunknown", and Alice in Chains - "Dirt". 3) Also, Nirvana has several other great releases you should listen to (in the following order) - "In Utero" (polarizing but revered 3rd Studio Album), "Unplugged" (widely considered one of the best live albums of all time), "Bleach" (Their debut album made for $600 but which still rocks,) "Live at Reading" (A transcendent live performance from when Nirvana was the center of the world), "Incesticide" (A quirky but very cool collection of unreleased material), and "Live and Loud in Seattle" (another live album from their final tour a few months before Kurt died. They added a second guitarist and sounded absolutely fierce here). 4) The Smells Like Teen Spirit video was a cultural milestone that changed pop culture overnight. You gotta watch the video to understand the impact this song had: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrqHfsWX1M_PlZs.html 5) While Kurt could be dark and moody, he and the other guys in the band also had an amazing sense of humor and messed around a lot. Kurt had so much charisma and gravitas. Check out this video of different clips of them being ridiculous: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZakqtKI39udnmQ.html

Great video! One thing i dont really see anybody talking about is that Kurt and Nirvana as a whole were extremely feminist, anti-racist and pro LGBT! "If you're a sexist, racist, homophobe or basically an asshole, don't buy this CD. I don't care if you like me, I hate you." -Kurt Cobain

Krist novoselic was the bass player for nirvana and I honestly think he’s such an underrated bass player

Lead singer: Kurt Cobain Bass guitar: Krist novoselic Drummer: Dave grohl Pat smear 93-94

This is by far my favorite music reaction video. And not because it is one of, if not my favorite band. But most others feel cringe, over the top, with fake and forced emotions. Love how authentic you were in your analysis, great sense of humor, and ability to pick up on small details, including picking up other instruments. So many great bands from the 70s to 90s era. I know when I start a band, I want to be the type that doesn't discriminate against people, play loud, and just have some fun, just like those guys did. Keep on making videos 🙂👍

Rock will never die

Great reaction! Loved it! You are going to love the umplugged and the in utero albums!

You are adorable! Love your reactions to this iconic album🎉

I love how the editing lets the song still flow a bit.

Subscribed 100% fr the Prince shout out. I heard it on the LP at home 'cuz they weren't ever about to put it on air. It was direct! All packed

most reaction videos i watch are just listening back, but you make it actually fun to watch, had myself laughing

Your reaction actually gave me life ✋Please react to more Nirvana 😭

Great reaction, New Subs. Can´t wait for the next albums. Long Live NIRVANA!.

you are great at this... thanks for the reaction.. subscribed

actually rlly good reaction good job man👍

I've gotten so burned out on reaction vids lately, but YOU my friend made this really fun! I love your genuine takes and surprises on this amazing album. Great job fam! 💯

Woooow I love this album. You *really* need to check out their live performance at the Paramount in 1991, it's got Breed in there. Nirvana was one of the best live acts you could see in the early 90s before Kurt got tired of playing lol. Pure raw energy up on stage, it's so much fun.

I’m always loved soft and classic rock. It’s still my favorite overall. But when I discovered Nirvana, it got me into heavier rock and some alternative rock music and helped me look into other kinds of rock like punk and grunge and helped develop my own taste in different kinds of rock. It’s really cool to see someone go through a similar experience. It’s beautiful that rock has so much to offer and so many kinds of rock. Grunge is pretty great!

this guys commentary is awesome. Don’t know how he doesn’t have more subscribers

Great to watch your first experience with this remarkable band. Some insightful comments and funny observations. I recommend their eariler work Bleach but, to be honest, you should listen to all their releases. There's not that much sadly, but it's all killer.

Given how much you loved Breed you’ll love In Utero.

I watched this video and I remember getting nevermind and being alone in my room listening to the whole thing and this is 100 perfect how I acted and felt that day ..... powerful !

This is a great reaction. You’re a funny guy. Subbed

1st time wow, if I could go back, I salute u, cheers

I really dig the way you edit your content, my man. Having the lyrics on the side is a nice touch. This album is one of the best-produced albums to come out of Sound City Studios! There's a fantastic documentary 'Sound City' about Dave Grohl purchasing the 'Neve Electronics 8028 mixing console' used for producing this album and moving and setting it up in his own studio. It's definitely worth a watch!

Kurts singing style was very aggressive and cool as hell but it was SUUUPER hard on his throat. Which is why you mentioned his voice sounding like it was giving up during a few of these songs.

Hi, maybe mentionned before but the intro of "Territorial pissings" is done by Krist Novoselic, the bassist and it's the chorus of a song sang by The Youngbloods named "Get together".

Bro love this video. Nirvana has been my favorite band since I was a kid in the mid 90s learning to be a musician myself. Your reaction and analysis are great.

in utero is definitely worth checking out and I think is where kurt's songwriting was at it's best. its one of my favorite albums

Pretty damn cool to see people's feelings listening to something i'm so used to hearing on their first time. Makes me remember how i felt myself Breed is my favourite too, nothing beats that energy. It feels like having a childhood crush sorta

Nevermind was released 3 months after i graduated from high school. The first time I heard Teen Spirit I couldn’t understand what I was hearing. It was a completely new sound that absolutely leapt out of my car speakers. What a phenomenal time. What ensued was Rocks last gasp before American idol killed it…

I almost had a heart attack the first time I let the record play and after I thought it ended, endless nameless started playing lol

I love that this album still has the same effect on first time listeners and new generations. It's timeless. Our little group has always been, and always will until the end...

Check out their MTV unplugged album. It’s a live performance you can watch the entire thing. Amazing

“The child is circumcised” in your voice will forever be etched in my mind til the day I die. Lol

Great video !!!

You're hilarious, it's a sub from me for sure. Glad you liked this classic album!

i swear every time the beat drops on on one of these songs i get the chills its just too good

This is a good video, it's always interesting seeing people's first time with such a hugely influential album. Nevermind is really the band at their tamest, other album like Bleach and In Utero are way harsher in their production, so I'm curious about how you'd react to it.

Great reaction.

"The Child is Circumcised" had me dead 🤣. Good video tho dude. Listen to all the Studio Records, Amazing stuff. Incesticide and the MTV unplugged album are a must as well trust. Really easy to become a Nirvanahead 😅

18:07 I recommend live at the paramount and live in paradiso

I can't wait for you to listen to In Utero if you are going to, it's personally my favorite Nirvana album.

It's so cool to see people recting to creation of Nirvana! Hope for Bleach and In Utero! (And maybe Incesticide..), those are also cool albums of them.

They were just legendary live- you never knew what you were gonna get with them at any show. One of the best performances captured is Live At The Paramount. Check out "Breed" and "School" from that on YT

If you’re planning on checking out their live stuff, be sure to check out their “live at the paramount” show

kurt was a melodic genius, he said he could just hear the chords naturally, look up rick beato what makes this song great smells like teen spirit, he breaks the whole song down and shows you the insane internal melodies he heard. he was a composer, but this band had a insane bassist chris novacelic, and dave grohl as the drummer. he is the lead singer of foo fighters, he said kurt singing style was called spitting nails. this band changed rock and roll forever. at the time this was absolutely revolutionary. and spawned other great bands. also check rage against the machine.

If you want to watch a live performance I recommend "Nirvana Live at the Paramount." 1. It's shot on film so it pleasing to the eye. 2. It's from right before they went super famous so they are still having fun and Kurt is using fewer drugs. It's a good performance with good audio.

For live performances if you want dirty watch Live At Reading, it's life changing

Fantastic video! Definitely subscribing.

nirvana is a place of perfect peace and happiness, like heaven which is what the music brings to me

Loved this video it’s fun hearing your commentary. If you liked this album I’d recommend checking out Alice In Chains album “Dirt”, Soundgarden’s “Badmotorfinger”, and Pearl Jam’s “Ten”. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and AIC are considered the big four of grunge and while they don’t share the same sound, they’re all super enjoyable and fun. I’d also recommend checking out “Core” by Stone Tenple Pilots. Stone Temple isn’t from Seattle which is where the big four are from, but they can be pretty grungy. If you wanna listen to more Nirvana, I’d say to listen to either Bleach or In Utero. Love the video I hope to see more

You should do OK COMPUTER. One of my favorite albums ever

I like that you are laughing at Kurt’s humour, it was pretty good.

If you wanna dive into more rock from this era, Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins is a great place to continue. Both records were produced by Butch Vig.

Mann spricht deutsch 😂. Geile Reaction 🤟😎. Keep the grunge alive!

'In Bloom' is very Beatles-y, particularly the chorus. If you haven't yet, watch the American music video. It's the band performing on what looks like an early 1960s episode of The Ed Sullivan Show, lol. Really fits the mood.

They played live versions of basically every song they ever wrote. They were primarily a live band. If you haven’t heard it yet, you should go back and start with their first album Bleach. Great reaction and comments.

Dude you rock

I would love to see your reaction on their next album “In Utero“ there are a lot of songs that are worth listening plus I'd love to know your opinion on them, best of luck man!

live at reading and live at paramount are the best live perfomances of them!! enjoy!!

You should do the other albums, please ❤

I'm jealous. I first heard this album when it came out. I was 11. I played it nonstop. Seeing you enjoy Breed gave me goosebumps. Check out Nirvana Live At Redding on KZfaq. It's a whole live concert.

They were great live.

Nirvana was the start of grunge as a mass movement, and was carrying on a lot of what had been building in the U.S. punk and underground scenes over the 80’s; while a lot of the other grunge bands leaned heavier on metal or even classic rock sounds.

"NIRVANA! LIVE! TONIGHT! SOLD OUT!!!" On VHS was in my Christmas stocking as a kid. I watched it before my parents even got out of bed. Now you can see anything anytime and it's amazing. Dead men don't pull triggers tamerail, look into it. #Justiceforkurt

"They have endless opportunities to blow their brains out" thats one way to say it lmao

stank face and head nodding is the metric rock musicians use to determine how hard a song hits. love it!

Please listen to more nirvana! PLEASE!!!

Actually a really cool reaction

don’t know grunge . man oh man , listen to Dirt by Alice in Chains . will blow you away , i wish i could go back and listen to that track for the first time again. all time classic easily jerry cantrell is a Musical genius

you should try to listen to in utero and bleach(both by nirvana too), in utero shows nirvana at it's rawest form ever before kurts death and bleach shows nirvana at it's first steps(by the way, nice video man, keep it up😸)

18:45 Lithium is also a medication for treating bipolar disorder...

15:20 " the child is circumsized"

great personality

lmao i love your humor!!!!! please react to more!!!!

Great video man. Where you from? Germany?😊

You should definitely do a live at the reading or live at the paramount reaction

Jealous that you have so many great rock bands to experience for the first time. Nirvana is iconic for sure, and around that same time we had both the birth of grunge with incredible bands like Soundgarden (you should listen to "Superunknown" which was their first mainstream success, earlier stuff is a different sound and rough) and Pearl Jam (debut album "Ten" is iconic and incredible) coming up. But at the same time, incredible innovation in other sounds was happening like Rage Against the Machine (a true experience like none other, caution: you may overthrow your government and/or capitalism while listening. start at their self-titled debut!) and Incubus (reeeeally experimental sounds with some of the best lyricism in all of music, check out S.C.I.E.N.C.E. for your first experience with them, preferably right after smoking a little weed) which is really crazy. It was a musical renaissance that defined an entire generation and it's awesome that you get to go through it with fresh ears and experience it. Keep up the fun content!

You gotta listen to In Utero now!

buen video! te recomiendo escuchar "in utero" de nirvana, creo que es el álbum que mejor retrata su esencia :)

Nirvana is technically post-grunge Seattle alternative rock. ‘Grunge’ is not a genre. It’s the name of a scene, same as, like, ‘Madchester’, and it’s a scene to which AIC was adjacent, but was not originally a part. ‘Grunge’ was the Seattle music scene that was most influenced by hardcore punk, early ‘70s garage rock, early-mid 80s underground melodic post-punk (e.g., the Replacements, Hüsker Dü, the Pixies, Sonic Youth, etc.) Bands of the ‘Grunge’ scene were constantly trading members-much like the London psychedelic blues scene, during the late 60s. ‘Grunge scene’ bands were, for instance, Mother Love Bone, Soundgarden, Green River, the Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, and bands that formed by former members of M.L.B. and Screaming Trees: I.e., Pearl Jam. Lastly, there were a few younger bands with similar influences-like Nirvana. But the bands that hit it big in the 90s weren’t grunge bands-they went to loads of shows by grunge bands, were influenced by them, but then added more influences of their own to the mix. AIC’s musical lineage was VERY different. Before Jerry and Layne met, Layne already sang for-of all things-a glam metal band (like, ‘big hair’ metal band, much like Poison or Ratt or Warrant) called Sleze. So Layne’s obvious influences were primarily metal, and Jerry’s favourite guitarist is Eddie Van Halen, an heavy metal guitarist. However, Jerry grew up in Texas, and he was also deeply influenced by the blues and (to a lesser extent, Country & Western). It’s clear they also had progressive rock and psychedelic rock influences, but because the idiots in music magazines (like Guitar World, to which I admit having a subscription in the 90s), only wanted to talk with AIC about fucking heroin, I have no idea the full diversity of Layne and Jerry’s record collections back then. I’m sure Jerry’s like me-he’s an old guitarist now, and he probably listens to a little bit of everything these days. But I’d love to know who were all of his formative influences, apart from Van Halen. I don’t know whether I’ll ever know all of Layne’s favourite singers. Bloody shame it is. Back to the point, though: AIC obviously had friends in the ‘grunge scene’, but musically, they had an entirely different lineage. They weren’t punk/post-punk rockers; they were a ‘stoner metal’ band. That’s the genre I’d put them in. I’d call Nirvana ‘melodic post-punk/noise-rock’. I’d call Pearl Jam blues-based hard rock, and I’d call Soundgarden progressive/psychedelic/stoner rock with roots in punk and 70s metal. ‘Grunge’ isn’t a genre because Pearl Jam has more in common with Led Zeppelin than they do Nirvana. Nirvana has more in common with the Replacements than they have with Alice In Chains. I’m an old man in my 40s, and I was there. For me, this music is woven into the tapestry of my life. But the point is,nas fans, you deserve to know how it really is, because everyone has forgotten. In fact, because most humans are dumb sheep, I’d guess that a majority of people thought ‘Grunge’ was a genre by 1992: a year after Nirvana released *Nevermind*. I remember a little more clearly-probably because I’m a guitarist myself, and I was VERY interested in what was happening in Seattle in the late 80s/early 90s…but less amongst bands from the ‘grunge’ scene, and far more by:First, Alice In Chains. I was a metal guitarist, and *Facelift*was one of the darkest, heaviest records i’’d ever heard…because it was about the existential angst inherent in REALLIFE, by ORDINARY PEOPLE, rather than stupid rubbish like devils, or historical battles to which they had no personal connection (like Iron Maiden is so fond of doing). I will also admit I already had a favourable view of the Seattle music scene because I liked songs by Queensrÿche from the 80s, like ‘I Don’t Believe In Love’, ‘Jet City Woman’, and ‘Another Rainy Night (Without You)’. Alice In Chains was the first ‘new’ style of music I’d heard in a while, and though I was young, I’d hit my adolescence at age 9 (young for a lad), and by the time I was 11 I looked 14 or so, and had all the angst that came with it, so I eventually DID embrace Nirvana as well, but as the years passed, my favourite Seattle music remained outside of the grunge scene, as did my favourite ’alternative rock’ (also not a genre! Originally just a more ‘friendly’ way to describe indie rock or ‘underground’ music….though-yet again-morons in the music press tried to make a genre out of it.) bands. By 1995, my favourite ‘current’ bands (that means we’re discounting favourite older bands like Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, and-especially-Blue Öyster Cult) were, in no particular order, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Līve, Stone Temple Pilots, Tool, Megadeth, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Anyroad, the point is, actual genres are made up of structurally similar music. It has nothing to do with where they come from. And as hard as they try, genres are not determined by music magazines, unless the article in which a new genre is invented is written by an educated composer and music critic with the ability to intelligently understand music based upon its structure-its arrangement, lyrical themes, and studio mix.

The beatles were high out of their minds making most of their albums as were many other old classic rock musicians. It started in the 60s

This guy is like an excited sports announcer...

Listen to their “Live and Loud” performance

honestly should listen to type o negative they’re really interesting, just a bit of advice do you end up listening to the life is killing me album i would wait before the second track starts as the first one is kinda just an instrumental opener and the transition between the two is really really nice

That synth sound in Endless Nameless is actually the guitar... To this day, I still don't know how Kurt got his guitar to make that sound, but he even got his guitars to make that sound in live shows.
