I am a big fan of Nirvana, and Molly Lips & Son of a Gun are some of my favourites. I didnt hear the originals until much later, and they are brilliant. There is something pure about the Vasalines version. I am a fan now!

Right on, me too! This & Molly’s Lips were two of the first songs I ever learned, still play them all the time. It’s kinda amazing how they made something so great out of so little. Two or 3 chords, fairly simple lyrics, & probably the simplest drum pattern ever...but it’s pure genius. Also, her voice is just incredible. It fits their songs perfectly.

Cos of Kurt
@BillDo-gd5me

Yes cos of Kurt but that doesn’t take away from them. I have a distinct remember of listening to the Nirvana version of this song when I was just learning guitar. I lived in an apartment/office building and was allowed to use a spare office connected to my family’s unit to play guitar. The sun would shine in the room. The town was called Aberdeen but Matawan NJ so by the name I felt some odd connection to Kurt and Krist etc but idk it’s this song that sticks in my memory for some reason maybe cus of that lyric and remembering the sun how it shone inside the room. That place was haunted too so by the end of each session I’d have goosebumps and get the hell out of there fast but it was good vibes for a few hours a day at least. Wish I could go back to those times,

@@wallyw1944 it would of been different but vocal wise we all age even the greats and this changes our range. But kurt was very talented and his gritty vocals well you likely have a point even more gravel in his vocals would of made them sound even better so I guess he may be a big exception to the rule. Even fucked off his face on heroin he was still better than most of the stuff that passes for music in this day. But that has a lot to do with his style of music and won't lend itself to every style. The vaselines are still great and it's normal for vocals to get older.

Well Kurt Loved this band and like the pixies, they were one of his biggest influences. He loved this band and thought they deserved more than Nirvana. He thought they had so much more talent then he had. but they are just so different from each other. It's pointless to compare them. and you are only comparing them because Kurt covered several of there songs.
