It’s the Electro Harmonix Small Clone EH-4500 Full-Chorus pedal. I’ve got one on my pedal board right now. (I always rip the board apart and rearrange it with a number of different pedals.) As much as I love this pedal for nailing Nirvana guitar parts, I hate the fact that it only runs off of a 9V battery and won’t accept a line in from a power source.
@@MrVortex1313 There was actually a lawsuit against Nirvana soon after it came out because Eighties predates Come as you are by a few years and obviously Killing Joke was not impressed. They still lost their case though
Cobain isn’t the best guitarist (hell not even in the top 75 imo) but my God he’s a great musician being able to make something amazing with just a few notes
not even close to the top 75. there's around 700 million guitar players on earth, and I'd wager 90% of them are better than kurt. that would mean he's not even in the top 630 million lol
@@Wyatt42069bro what are u goin on about he had what most people lack, a spectacular talent of songwriting ability and his technical noise skill is brutal. Most people play speedy ear garbage tapping frets in patterns and think they are randy rhoads. He used what he knew and learned naturally, he didn't sit down with some douchebag to be told how to use his instrument, he did it by himself which is the best way. Everyone and their mother can play a metallica song on tik tok, but i guarantee you they couldn't write a song as good as him, and definitely wouldn't be able to replicate his ability of making the perfect guitar riffs for that song. And not only did he write his guitar parts, but he would stand behind krist and dave a lot and tell them what to play. Absolute musical mastermind. There is no better or worse when it comes to music however, it's subjective to each individual person. But in my opinion there's just no way you can say 700 million people are better than him 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Lots of bands repeat or mix up lots of their riffs. It's kinda what gives em their recognizable sound. Plus... annnny picking riff will sound like "Come as You Are" with that effect. 32 yrs playing guitar, and that effect name has totally escaped my mind. But I think it's "chorus" with some "flange" to boot.
That's a great observation; the G-C-B-A/G-C-B-A lead atop the D/C rhythm, along with Ringos brilliant tom-oriented #234 beat, combine to create one of my favorite early-styled Beatles songs. I apologize if my attempt at "texting" music is as poor as it looks but the similarity is striking, though achieved by means of the vocals acting as the rhythm (D/C) heard in the layers of 'And I Love Her' Thanks for the observation; I love these sorts of nuanced relationships
Many songs were abandoned by Kurt, some had attempts on all albums (Sappy) yet were never added to said albums. I believe “Burn the rain” was its own song, as was “Come as you are”.
I actually had a sense of nostalgia hearing that because I had been given the montages of heck HBO documentary on DVD for my 12th birthday. I distinctly remember waking up to it everything I fell asleep in the credits and would have a slight bit uncomfortable with it playing over the menu of Kurt's sculptures.
“Come as you are” (1991, Nirvana) has the same riff as “Eighties” (1983, Killing Joke), which is almost identical to “Life Goes On” (1982, Captain Sensible, recorded by The Damned). Burn the Rain bears very little similarity to the above 3 songs.
besides those two you have ... The Equals - Baby Come Back (1968)...Bauhaus "hollow hills" (1981) Garden Of Delight "22 faces" ...wouldnt surprise me if there are more songs using that riff out there
the other one is basically just a sped up version of come as you are which i think is very interesting. it sounds very scary when you put them next together
no they didnt...peep dis....The Equals - Baby Come Back (1968)...Bauhaus "hollow hills" (1981) ...The Damned "life goes on" (1982)...Garden Of Delight "22 faces" (1984)...Killing Joke "eighties" (1985)...Nirvana "come as you are" (1991)
Best part about Nirvan is that they never gave af about anything artificial. They didn't try fitting a million meaninsg into one line, they didn't try to do a suprr human level riff, and they didn't fold to whatever get them at the top of the bill board. They always just made music that sounded good.
Idk if it sound as similar as you made it sound but with that chorus on playing any sort of one note riff (my way of saying no chords, not just one note repeated lol) in that lower register is going to sound similar. Tho it makes me want to try and come up with something haha.
He did that a lot. Rape Me has pretty much the same strumming pattern as Smells Like Teen Spirit in the intro and the solo for Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle also sounds very similar to Teen Spirit. Also in the beginning riff of Frances Farmer there’s a part of it which also sounds like Come As You Are aswell
I suggest when you do tabs for something that you don’t put it at the bottom of the screen because then it’s blocked by title or whatever it is called so put the tabs literally anywhere else besides the bottom of the screen
Listen to the 80s by Killing Joke. This will make a lot of sense. I think Kurt Cobain was a Killing Joke fan, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he was slightly inspired by them.
He admitted he was mate...others have said Killing Joke took out a lawsuit...l dunno about that... I do know Jaz Coleman said Nirvana must have gd taste (or similar). I'm into the Damned as well....but there's a 60s tune that's close too.

i live in a town that's right next to aberdeen,Washington , and since I go to Aberdeen alot. I've seen the famous come as you are sign hundreds of times
I can't remember right off top of my head but there was a band that had that exact same rift before Nirvana. So they may have been influenced by this other band on that intro
I remember they played this song first before any other song on my local radio stations up and coming bands hour About a month later smells like teen spirit made bop city bop bop seem so silly 😊

I think that’s a chorus pedal Kurt used or a flanger
worth a mention: “Eighties” by Killing Joke is known to be another another huge contributor to this Nirvana tune. dig it 😎
and Life Goes On by The Damned
Eighties even more so
A lot of people don’t mention the impact of no wave and post punk on Kurt, such as our mutual enthusiasm for Sonic Youth

I wish Burn The Rain became a nirvana song later on, adding krist and dave to the song would’ve been amazing
Kurt was a prolific songwriter. There were songs that were still in his head that day which are gone now.
@@TadRaunchye
I love burn the rain so much, I wish there was a full version
I have written it to the end. I hope, there's will be time when I'll release it on my album
Cudis montage by kids see ghosts is the most close that we will get as an full version
Look up the Do-Re-Mi mock up album. There’s a ton of songs on there that are mock ups of Kurt’s demos. Burn The Rain and Do-Re-Mi are amazing.
As do I. Really dark sound but I love it.
THATS WHAT IM SAYIN
Killing Joke - Eighties
was abt to say ig
Cobain always said he didn’t like the song because it sounds too much like Killing Jokes “Eighties”
I think it’s sounds more like “life goes on - the damned”
It definetly does but it's more of a homage I suppose
BEANSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Lord shine your light on me, save me please

burn the rain is awesome. the riff could also work very well with distortion and it gives a bleach-vibe kinda like floyd the barber or blew etc.

“80’s” killing joke
i love burn the rain so much, im glad someone is talking about it
Wow, that's mind-blowing
In Bloom is their best song
Idk why but this guy's entire vibe says " Kick Me"
That riff signaled a seismic shift in the musical landscape. All the hair bands knew it was over for them.
burn the rain is banging
Also interesting fact:
Burn the Rain was sampled in Kanye’s and Cudi’s project KIDS SEE GHOSTS in the song “Cudi Montage”
That transition of Burn the rain to Come As You Are was kinda cool, it's like the you kept the rithym but with a diferent riff

Hey man, what do you use for your chorus to make your guitar have that beautiful tone?
My favorite Killing Joke riff ;)
It also sounds remarkably like 80s by Killing Joke
Really mind blowing......
It’s lifted directly from Killing Joke’s Eighties.
and killing joke stole it from the damned
i couldnt tell you a single song from that band but by gods do i know that rift
I guess along with Eighties by Killing Joke and Life Goes on by the Damned that feature virtually identical riffs.
i live in a town that's right next to aberdeen,Washington , and since I go to Aberdeen alot. I've seen the famous come as you are sign hundreds of times
Now that’s Brisk, baby!
Simple riffs are the most impressive - it means they cut out every single thing that was unnecessary and only left the best
On April 5th 1994 Kurt had a deepcut.
Literally Come as you are is my favorite song from him
Him? You mean the whole band?
Deep cut. Mkay.
Dude that's awesome, I'm doing a cover of burn the rain for my first song in my band
Burn the rain sounds like a SOAD song
It sounds like it might also be a proto Floyd the Barber
I love Kurt’s solo career, but then you find out about beans…
Killing joke , has a song that’s even more closer . Killing joke , did it first.
That song is actually featured in a Kanye song
Burm the rain sounds very grungey i like that
That's amazing

Come as You Are has to have one of the greatest guitar riffs ever
come as you are is just riff from eighties by killing somethint idk forgot the name
Bro sampled his own song
There are also other similar riffs that prob have an influence, Eighties by Killing Joke and Life Goes On by The Damned
In fact Burn the rain it's in Drop D, so it's not that similar to Come as you are, but they are very close
Burn the Rain is an awesome song.
