No way Kurt could have kept up that throat-shredding "technique" for much longer. I did enjoy the timbre of the guy's voice when he was singing normally.
Nice video man. I was a huge Nirvana fan as a teenager, even though I hardly spoke English. It didn't matter, I just felt connected to an emotion and it was enough. Many years later, I understand those lyrics a lot better, especially with knowing Kurt's context a lot more. Basically, they are powered by contradiction... much like the music alternated quiet/loud, the lyrics are contradictory, they are very sarcastic but at the same time earnest. As a 30+ year old guy, I can now see that Kurt was a young guy trying to figure things out, his difficulty inserting into society, his will to do good, while feeling guilty about his own selfishness, but also unapologetic about self expression. I could write an essay about it, lol.
For instance, with teen spirit: loading up on "guns" is not literal guns, but the guns symbolizes the persona to exist in society, as a self-protection. it can also mean intentions, sexual desire.... so it's those kids going out and meeting, all putting up fake personas to try to exist, struggling with powerful natural urges. "it's fun to lose"... but at the same time you see they're all depressed and dejected. "with the lights out" means that people are afraid of being exposed.... obv not all of it is perfect sequituur, he def used various writing techniques as you said, but you can make out coherent themes if you actually analyze it. Of course, I get that people could think it's all nonsense. In the end, I think it's what killed him, that he felt like a walking contradiction. He's been idolized, but really he was just a young guy trying to make sense of life and he never got to work out those emotions. Anyway, thanks for the video.
Very useful analysis and demonstration on how the verses are sung while leaking air past the vocal cords for effect. I don't really enjoy singing that way, but the effect sounds heavy and full of emotion. I didn't hear him losing his voice at the end either, but he really did put every ounce of energy he could into cutting this vocal track. Awesome performance.
I liked Nevermind but In Utero was a masterpiece, Kurt's vocals were next level IMO, I know haters out there are gonna say Kurt wasn't a good vocalist but I disagree, he wasn't by any means the best but unique for certain, and his song writing was super simple but made a huge impact on the music industry almost overnight, must've been a reason😂
Regardless of what anyone might think of his style, at least he apparently had perfect relative pitch. Nothing sounds off.
Everyone recording since 2004 is singing through auto-tune (even live these days!).
@StratMatt777 you are absolutely right!! And I find it interesting Rick Beato did a video on In Bloom and Kurt uses all 12 notes??? If I remember right.... I think Rick said he's never come across a song like that 😆 makes me love Kurt even more, either he knew what he was doing or he didn't, both equally fascinating
@@fenderfox5080 If I remember correctly, I think Rick Beato showed that Kurt did all kinds of non--diatonic things that made no sense from a theoretical perspective, but they sound amazing and different. So I suspect that he didn't know much theory.
There is a quote where he says something to the effect of, " Once you learn power chords you can do anything".
And power chords are so "slidey" :) that you can play whatever you want to hear. There's no need to know theory or consult theory.
There are unexpected interesting intervals in some of their songs, that "make no sense".
I'm a hard core Layne Staley guy myself (since 1991)... I just can't make distortion!
@StratMatt777 Layne, Chris, Kurt, are all my faves, I can't ever choose just 1 😆
@@fenderfox5080 Right! Fortunately we don't have to choose!
My list of my favorite singers is almost endless...
Hey sterling! I was just wondering how much does your online lessons cost?
My currently rate is $150 an hour. You can book right through my website “sterlingrjackson.com” 😊
Iiiii miss the caaawwfmurt in beeein saaaaaaid
I grew up in Seattle and was a teen in 1991. My friend introduced me to rock through his albums by Metallica, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains and Temple of the Dog. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was cool as was "Come As You Are" and a couple others, but Nirvana never grabbed me like the other albums I listed because I like to listen to pretty pristine high quality vocals (judgmental much?).
Though I can tell you that Krist Novoselich is a super duper nice guy and that means that I am one of those d-bag name-droppers. :)
I've been singing since '88 and basically can sound like Steve Perry, Jason Mraz, Michael Buble, some Michael Jackson etc... but, even after watching a gazillion RUclips videos I still can't figure out how to make distortion without it feeling like I'm damaging my vocal chords and getting a bit hoarse after like 15 seconds (which is when I stop).
I've just discovered your channel through your "How to Sing like Layne Staley" video. Great stuff!!! Do you have a video on distortion where you basically expand a bit on what you are talking about in that video about the places in the throat where distortion can be created (it's at 16:00)?
I am really looking forward to learning from you. Thanks for making these videos!
This might sound weird, but I would love for you do do an analysis on Kendrick Lamar. His main vocal influence is Prince and it shows. He has some moments when he does some cool falsetto distortion, along with grit. Also, he is very good at vocal acting, so he never sounds the same from one song to another. It actually blows my mind. And, of course, the most important argument: he is really popular rn and this would hopefully give your channel a well deserved boost. And so far nobody did an analysis on him from what I've seen. I guess Euphoria is a decent example of his skills. I can't remember that song I heard him do the whistle scream or whatever he does but when I remember I'll add it here.
Edit: someone actually did a good compilations of his vocal chops:

If you didn't already know this, I'm a HUGE!!!!! NIRVANA FAN and I've been working on finding my own way of learning to sing like Kurt. I'm a cover artist so I've always thought of I'm gonna cover a song I wanna do it justice and try to sound like the person I'm singing. Some people say you shouldn't sound like the person and do your own way, I'm the latter, I'd rather do the closest thing. Thanks for this breakdown Sterling I'm hoping to learn some great things from this video😊
I never liked Nirvana either, but it was a great analysis. And the whispery part could be the key to Rod Stewart's thang.
No they don't sound, like Madonna
Ps: thanks for the breakdown! The Bb4 is preeeetty intense, it used to baffle me
