@Dazza768. I'm completely agree with you. As I mentioned earlier although Cobain never seemed to aspire to be the leader of any movement, his figure continues to arouse admiration and curiosity in equal measure. It's amazing with have so much about his life documented.
In Kurt’s first band fecal matter, who released one album recorded on his aunts tape recorder, One of the songs Kurt had messed up on one of the songs accidentally recording over a part. In a sheer moment of anger he plugged the guitar directly into the tape recorder recording an amazing solo
12:56 As a Croatian living in Canada this made me chuckle. Back in the day if you were the child of Balkan/Yugoslav parents and had any sort of issues, you weren’t getting a therapist, you were getting sent home.
Marc, you may be the most underrated channel on this godforsaken platform. The simple yet info packed mini-essays are so good. Also you’re funny as shit.
@Distantlights.. I agree with you. I am a fan of Nirvana. I appreciate the spectacular in their music. I appreciate that their music is made to please the general public with easy and understandable melodies and lyrics, unlike other groups that are highly valued by the majority of Rock lovers.
Good artists burrow, great artists steal Music and art in general are ideas from another artist but refined into something enticing Without stealing, music wouldn’t have its foundations and be what it is today
I love the Beatles and pretty much anything rock, I’ve been getting into more rock sub genres and recently got into punk so nirvana is absolutely perfect for my taste.
@@orb2150txthat’s kinda what we do in music, it’s still respected if you change it and make it your own. If it’s more memorable when you play it a certain way then cool
The name of the band was very well chosen. contains the word freedom, freedom from suffering, from the pressure of society that makes you a slave. and Kurt said "punk is about freedom." Since Nirvana also means freedom... freedom from suffering and the outside world... it also seems to me a perfect definition of punk music.
Andy Kaufman faked his death in the ‘80s and ended up changing his name to Krist Novoselic and became the bassist for one of the biggest bands in the world.
Dear Marc, I’m not sure if you’ll ever read this but I’ve been listening to nirvana and weezer for years thanks to my dad and honestly these videos are so well detailed and researched that its really high quality and comes from the heart. It’s funny most people don’t even know the other drummers of Nirvana apart from Dave and Chad, and It’s also worth mentioning Kurt was a Roadie for the Melvins while they toured, and I find it pretty cool since I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and until the late 80s we didn’t really have any cool music releasing in our scene or any major bands coming to tour and I think Nirvana really changed that. Anyways I’m rambling but overall this channel is super underrated so keep up the good content
Marcbutevil is like the only music related channel that even if I don’t care about the artist being covered. I still watch the video. I enjoy the vids that much.
Oh man, this video is fantastic As someone who read Come As You Are and Michael Azarad's Biography on Kurt Cobain, this is a great breakdown of the early stages of the band I may show this to people when I need them to know about the origins of Nirvana for whatever reason
This is one of the best vídeos about nirvana I've had ever seen, you can tell the passion you have at taking about these kinda stuff, as a big nirvana fan I can tell you this is one of the best videos
When I first heard Nirvana, it changed the way I heard music forever. I was born in 1995... just a short while after Kurt was gone, though my parents were fans so I grew up with Nirvana in the background sometimes, but my dad was more into heavy metal and my mom liked Sheryl Crow and the Cranberries, and especially the Beatles and the Grateful Dead. Of all places, I first *really* heard Nirvana on this music video clip show called "Pop-Up Video", on the VH1 channel I think. I was like 13 or 14, and I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit for the first time and watched that music video. It opened my mind to what music *could* be. I picked up the guitar because of Kurt, and I still play today, its my lifeline and my passion, and Kurt's playing just has something indescribable and raw that I chase with my playing endlessly. Nirvana was my gateway to incredible music and life experiences even. I found some of my favorite bands like Pixies, Iggy and the Stooges, the Germs, David Bowie, Black Flag, Melvins, Bikini Kill, Daniel Johnston, the Velvet Underground, and so many more. Kurt was my role model through high school, where I always struggled to fit in and be confident. Kurt's music just spoke to me personally. Kurt inspired some of my favorite current bands and countless honest punk bands that I saw in basement shows in college. He inspired or paved the way for bands like Weezer (I think they had a Nirvana cover band at one point?), Green Day, Wavves, Jay Reatard, Ty Segall, and so many more I can't even begin. Nirvana might not be my all time favorite band anymore, but they were my *first* all-time favorite band, and I'll never forget what Kurt did for my life, even if I was never on this Earth with him. They made me hear music as something more than just the backtrack to life, something important in itself.
The town i spent my adolescence in is just like aberdeen. The middle of nowhere with a single export that brings in every drug available. Except my town is in Wyoming and the main export is Coal instead of logging.
Hey, you probably won't read this, but I've been watching this channel for a few months and I just wanted you to know that you are very good at making videos. I love you videos, I hope you keep it up as long as it's something *you* love.
The popularity of Nirvana with its mix of furious and melodic rock, is far from waning today. To date, the group has sold millions of albums worldwide, including its three studio albums and various anthologies and compilations and entered in 2014, with all the merits, in the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I never really learned this much about Kurt. Just knew he was from Aberdeen. As someone from sw Washington, who spent time on the coast south of Aberdeen at my dads, he definitely sounds like a lot of kids I knew growing up.
I visited aberdeen recently and saw his house. It’s honestly a depressing town. It was kinda mesmerizing but also dull, bleak and sad… I grew up in WA so it’s cool that they came from my state. It’s interesting listening to the music and being in the same environment
Great video. I love Nirvana and especially the Nevermind album When Nevermind came out into the world, it was something spectacular. At that time, Guns N' Roses' Use Your Illusion I & II and Michael Jackson's Dangerous were trending, and Nevermind arrived to make it clear that music would never be the same again. Grunge left behind the outdated vision of overproduced rock, and taught everyone the importance of innovation, something that characterized the essence of Kurt Cobain
a lot of people dont realize dave didnt come around until really late in the years. they went through drummers like dropping corpses during the plague. dave learned about the band through a tape that went through the underground in 89 and 90. that tape was the album bleach.
Kurt was like frozen in time at age thirteen mentally…. Very sad way to live not to mention health issues especially stomach problems couldnt have been easy… I have gastroparesis so I feel ya Kurt… shame you took yourself away man you had plenty to live for….
I grew up in Washington State. My Dad lived in Aberdeen for a very long time. I'm not going to pretend that I knew Kurt. I was 10 years younger than him. What I can tell you from experience is that Aberdeen is depressing. Aberdeen has a lot of old building's that look like they should fall apart at any moment. The sky is always grey and drugs are the primary past time for a lot of the citizens. Luckily I lived with my Mom most of the time and didn't have to spend every day there. I honestly wonder if Kurt would have been a happier person if he grew up somewhere else. IDK if that really matters but Aberdeen sure didn't help the guy.
Nirvana went around the world, I remember when Smells like teen spirit came out, the members of nirvana changed everything, the boys did not wear tight clothing, they dressed in jeans and t-shirts, like any teenager and they did not seem to be super rock stars . In addition to the music and looks, there was an anarchic attitude that was irresistible and enormously attractive. Nirvana forever!
I like that for once someone spends a good portion of time talking about Krist Noveselic's contributions to Nirvana as he and Kurt Cobain were the founders and both made massive contributions to the band rather than treating Nirvana as the Kurt Cobain show and Noveselic as an afterthought
banger video. you’re maybe my favorite content creator right now. so many times i click on video essays for the topic, but you’re honestly just funny as fuck and i’d watch most anything you’d put out. look forward to the next one B)
I just moved to Olympia this year. First time driving through Aberdeen I fell in love. As a photographer, it’s all the grit and abandonment I need. Similar to Butte Montana in ways. I’m watching videos about Nirvana to get insight on the band and Aberdeen for a video I’m working on. That’s a long way to say, I really enjoy your work. You’ve gained a fan and new subscriber. One that knows how much work these videos take to make. Thank you for doing what you do.
I learned a lot of new things about Nirvana in this video, and I’ve seen a lot of things (video essays, documentaries, etc.) on the band and really, enjoyed this. As corny and stereotypical it might sound as me being a big fan if Nirvana, some things you noted about Kurt I can really relate to. I won’t go into much detail, and I’ll leave it off by saying I really appreciate your videos. I haven’t seen much on Kurt’s upbringing. Keep it up MarcButNice 😼
Cobain never seemed to aspire to be the leader of any movemen but his figure continues to arouse admiration and curiosity nowadays. Although he has been gone for a long time, his name is a synonymous with the fallen idol and occupies a very prominent place in the rock and roll pantheon
cool! another great video, you're really good at what you do. you keep things interesting and the presentation is always engaging. plus you have a really nice voice.
Imagine quitting a band because they practice too much and it's distracting you from your job at Burger King, only for that band to blow up into one of the world's most recognized bands on Earth. I would never let myself live that down.

Explains why kurt looks different in almost every photo
shut up ringo
Kurt Cobain and Rivers Cuomo are the same person.
@@tweer64huh
I'm always amazed at how much footage there is of Nirvana especially Kurt even before fame- it seems his whole life was documented.

i see nirvana. i click.
words to live by
me too but its also Marc's new video
Same ha
I see nirvana comment. I like.
Facts
Kurt was so genius for combining punk rock with the melody sensibility of the Beatles
😂 so original....He actually credits a whole list of bands he stole ideas from.

What about foo fighters
imagine if the drummer from nirvana met dave grohl
Imagine if foo fighters singer were from nirvanas drummer
imagine if Kurt Cobain met mr nirvana
imagine if buddha got to meet the guys in nirvana
Imagine Dave grohl made a band called foo fighters
Marcbutevil is like the only music related channel that even if I don’t care about the artist being covered. I still watch the video. I enjoy the vids that much.
That means a lot, thanks!
please do your next video on how Bob Marley influenced and inspired the rock artists.
@tamzinwatterott1134 muse is more traditional rock (in my opinion)
I love how theres more info packed in a 20 minute marcbutevil video than multi hour documentaries
NO WAY I NEED THE NEXT VIDEO NOW I WAS SO IMMERESED IN IT 😭😭
Love how nirvana still is a theme of conversation, his life is something shouldn't and won't be forget
Just picked up MTV Unplugged today so this is perfect timing
Oh man, this video is fantastic
As someone who read Come As You Are and Michael Azarad's Biography on Kurt Cobain, this is a great breakdown of the early stages of the band

Such a band that is still talked about today.Nirvana is really immortal.
need a part 2!!! this was perfection!
THIS CHANNEL NEEDS MORE SUBSCRIBERS
Love the Pokémon music at the end 🤣. Great, informative video! I learned a lot.
I don't know why the Wii Tennis bit made me so happy in this haha. Cannot wait for this channel to hit 500k, no doubt it will!
Still do not understand why this guys channel hasn't blown up, it has brilliant editing and is really well put together. Wish you the Best!
Love your videos. Seem like the ultimate must watch videos for weezer foo fighters and Nirvana fans. Keep uo the great work! ❤

If Kurt lived, would Nirvana's reputation and fan base be as confused as Weezer's?
The answer to that is yes. A definite unqualified yes.
Filling out the Columbia House card was a right of passage back in the stone age. Paying them not so much.
This was made really well. With some early photos of Nirvana I’ve never seen
woah you got MCR history wayyyy wrong!
if the next video will not be a dark side of Hurley video I'm pulling Kurt Cobain.
Only 780 views??? This videos too good for that
Kind of crazy both Kurt Cobain and Bryan Danielson both came from Aberdeen, Washington
Babe wake up, new MarcButEvil video
This is a great non-Weezer video. Subbed
As someone who lives in Aberdeen, Kurt and krist describe it perfectly
Same but I hate how he mispronounced Montesano
Thanks for covering the Olympia connections...not a popular point of view, but they really are an Olympia band as much as a Seattle band.
I just nirvana, i feel like nirvana
@smartavocado8319
Same here❤
I remember hearing that the misogynistic atmosphere of Kirk's hometown inspired some of the band's feminist messages and songs (Polly etc)
Amazing! Could you do a video on elliott smith?
I was waiting for this video for a long time. Thank you Marcbutevil. I really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's OK to eat fish, cause they don't have any feeling.

They said, “let’s be a band called Nirvana” the end. You don’t have the watch the video now and can watch a Weezer video instead

8:55 it's so funny for them to put down his singing only for him to be one of the most iconic voices of all time
