Most def. I was a huge Nirvana fan as a teenager. I remember when the ‘teen spirit’ video first came out, I was hooked. Back in those pre-internet times one of the best ways to discover new bands was through kurt’s t-shirts & his interviews...dude was always trying to hip us to new music. Thanks to Kurt I found out about Daniel Johnston, Shonen Knife, the vaselines, K Records (not a band but pretty much anything they put out is fantastic), Bikini Kill, Flipper, Mudhoney, the shaggs, and on & on & on. oh god, & Leadbelly!!! Can’t forget about him. I could probably list bands/artists he turned me onto all day.
+Tomás Orellana Kurt is in hell, but like not in a bad way. You know how Dave Grohl played the devil in Tenacious D? Well Kurt is hanging out with Devil Dave Grohl in hell playing a guitar on fire and having fun
+Matt “ςυтιє вσσту” The Wolf he's just everywhere and I love it. He's in heaven with Bowie playing the man who sold the world and in hell bc we all knew that would happen and he's still right next to me Bc I'm wearing a shirt with his face in it
MarquisSmith I think it's a little bit of both, but it's more the Vaselines, because if it were a boy, he would have named him Eugene, also after one of the members.
ellos ( the vaselines ) eran los Heroes musicales de Kurt Cobain... esto no es un mal cover.. en realidad es un tributo para Kurt... dicho de otro modo. The vaselines le muestran su respeto a Kurt en donde quiera que el esté .... si la canción les suena como funeral para algunos... quizá sea porque muchas personas no tienen el tacto musical bien desarrollado para escuchar otros conceptos y prefieren los sonidos comerciales...
I'm sitting here crying my ass off. I by chance found this video and, oh fuuuuck. Talk about your "Trip down memory lane. I'm so blessed to have seen Nirvana, And the Vaselines. This was a amazing time for music, having come up in the LA punk seen Bands like this were the natural progression for me. I really feel lucky to have been the right age at the right time and place. Seeing so many great bands, and getting to know some of the smartest, most talented people who were amazing. I believe that people like Kurt come along one in a lifetime and like the candle that burns brightest. Kurt and several other special talented vanguards burned fastest. We lost so many of them. But what we gained, that is incalculable. 🤘🏻
Sitting in mental hospital's coffee room at 07:00, staring through the window with my blank look, before any medication and I feel such fulfillment in my soul.
Im sure they were asked. The reason the induction preformance sucked so much ass is because all the people that would've done it didn't want to be apart of the cash grab it was. The Hall of Fame is anti-punk (inb4 "the ramones were inducted" the ramones can do what they want, they wrote the book.)
Lithium was written about a part of Kurt's life where he spent time with a different family due to parent issues and that family was very much Christian. It's basically a mockery of Christianity and religion but based from that time in his life. It was indeed written by Kurt Cobain
Yes, every line is about religion/superstition when you break it down. Kurt was so ahead of his years especially with spirituality etc, naming the band after Buddishm and stuff. I think a lot of Lithium is about living life as a monk. 'shaved my head' etc
Wouldn't say it's a mockery, more a thematic exploration of religious ideas from a viewpoint of skepticism. "Everyday is Sunday for all I care," ..."Light my candles in a daze cause I found God." Some of the lines are truly hard to pin-down as an expression of anything very definitive, which is often the case with his lyrics. They keep you wondering what exactly he's talking about, and they make you think.
I like the creepy rendition of this song!... i love it!!... good job covering it guys !!!...btw i would like to recommend everyone hear the band 10 years covered heart shaped box with a creepy vibe as well and a good job too... i love everyone who loves Nirvana enough to cover them.... its almost 20 years since the saddest day of my life... R.I.P. Kurt Cobain my most honored fallen hero!
I always like to think that they knew how much Kurt loved them and how he covered their songs and thought I'd be nice to do one of his songs for him after he passed💙
1:05. I love how they said "I'm so lonely, that's okay I shaved my head". Kurt sang that instead of the actual lyrics when they played Lithium live. A nice little touch (:
I laugh when people comment completely erroneous things. Like you're on the internet... It's not hard to verify that Kurt loved the Vaselines, Nirvana covered "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam," "Molly's Lips," and "Son of a Gun" and that this is a cover of Nirvana by the Vaselines. Think, then type.
'Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam' is the name of the song. Google, then type (or, just buy the album and read it off the track listing). At least now you can define irony by example :-)
Eldon Stracke II The Vaselines re-released the song in 1992 on the compilation albums The Way of The Vaselines: A Complete History and All the Stuff and More. On All the Stuff and More, the title was changed slightly to "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Wants_Me_for_a_Sunbeam #fail
So which song is covered by nirvana? Jesus want me for a sunbeam or jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam ?? I need to know, otherwise i would never fall asleep well !!! (like Eldon Stracke II ... I suppose ... XD) Please don't answer me back -_-, firstly i don't fucking care, and secondly if i want the answer, i know how to do, and thirdly i know the fucking answer!!! If my english is not correct, i'm french, so ....
Rare and beautiful couldnt imagine a more sweet duo than these their music really helped kurt when his demons were rearing upon him nirvana and the Vaselines were two sides of the same coin
jajajaja muy buena,eh notado bastante que nirvana hacía las canciones de vaselines mas rapidas y con mas energía, y estos hacían las de kurt mas lentas y relajantes jajaa me encanta xD

So happy I've found Vaselines covering nirvana. I'm doing a week of posting influences of Nirvana on my Instagram page (vforvinylrecords 😅👍) and covered the Vaselines. One of my followers told me Vaselines had covered this track and I couldn't wait to hear it. Really like the version they've done and can imagine Kurt loving the Vaselines covering his track!
A lot of Nico solo, VU, something of the one Portished album i've ever bought (don't remember the name) and some little thing from Bjork too. Very interesting and original
And the only time i ever heard of kurt talking of a favorite band. Was in 92. When he said Raw power by the stooges was his favorite album. Beyond that he never had favorites

Nirvana love The Vaselines and the Vaselines loves Nirvana......
Really? I know kurt loves the vaselines, but i just knew the vaselines also loves nirvana. I thought they were in different generation😁😁
Nirvana and The Vaselines made music at the same time. Late 80's and early 90's
Lithium is covered by the vaselines, so i think they, at least, like Nirvana.
@@fathimahshidqi1848 asshole
Agree 💘
Thank You Nirvana for introducing me to The Vaselines
+Vinayak Shingornikar Me too!!!!!
Vinayak Shingornikar Thank You Kurt Cobain
Same...

I could probably list bands/artists he turned me onto all day.
also me!
Cobain must be with a huge smile in heaven (or anywhere he is beyond life) every single time that someone press "play" at this version.
Love it.
I love your comment and your profile picture
+UncleJason4 haha it's ok
+Tomás Orellana Kurt is in hell, but like not in a bad way. You know how Dave Grohl played the devil in Tenacious D? Well Kurt is hanging out with Devil Dave Grohl in hell playing a guitar on fire and having fun

Shea Wilt AND HE'S PROBABLY DOING HEROIN WITH CHRIS FARLEY AND JOHN BELUSHI
i've never heard this version until now. that so cool how both bands covered each other's songs.
Citi I like how this cover give more emotion
Kurt would've freaked if he found out they covered his song! He loved the Vaselines so much!
The Vaselines were one of his favorites. He even named his child after one of the members!
I thought his daughter was named after Frances Farmer? Good to know.
MarquisSmith I think it's a little bit of both, but it's more the Vaselines, because if it were a boy, he would have named him Eugene, also after one of the members.
MarquisSmith it is after the member in vaselines she is named
TheBUBDUB Kurt covered several musics from the vaselines too... he would much appreciate.
This song gives me the music chills. Its just so calm, and relaxing.
I felt like I was floating up to heaven.
Couldn't have put it better myself :)
So true
ME too.
I smoked a bowl while listening. Trust me when i say i met Kurt in heaven
Frfr
What a send off. Genuine display of respect. Teared up watching this.
it's so sweet that Kurt loved the Vaselines so much and they were a dream for him to even see them, and that when he died they sung for him...
Manly tears have been shed.
"we do it the Vaselines way"
A beautiful tribute to Nirvana from a band who genuinely understood where Kurt and Nirvana's music and ethos came from. Love to The Vaselines.
This is no doubt the most amazing thing I've heard in a long time
+Ruben Fawaka Not the most "amazing", but totally unique!
Really? It’s pretty terrible
If I wanted a particular song at my funeral, it would be this. As much as I love the original, this seems to fit my funeral better.
sounds like my parents in a argument on oxycodone
wow thats astute
Did they crack?

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🚬🚬🚬
I like the different sound. I think this is how covers should be done, playing the song in the band's style instead of a carbon copy of the original

This was the best cover I ever heard. Kurt would love this.
It's such a beautiful goodbye message.
This cover is actually quite phenomenal. The chosen combination of organ sounds and vocals works strikingly well for this song.
Sitting in mental hospital's coffee room at 07:00, staring through the window with my blank look, before any medication and I feel such fulfillment in my soul.
Her voice totally compliments Kurts
Wow had no idea they covered this. This is amazing.
If you're going to do a cover then make it totally different from the original.
This I love.
I wish they would have chosen them, and the meat puppets for induction performance at RRHOF.
Pitchokey 666
I know right? I did not care too much for the performance that night. Nothing against any of the performers.
Yeah, the choices they made were terrible!
Duke Togo - Pitchokey666 hell yea, or the wipers
Duke Togo - Pitchokey666 it would've been cool if the bands that Nirvana covered, they came and covered Nirvana

Wait... THATS NOT THE ACTUAL LYRIC?
@@froggie5628 it is. idk what this dudes on about
@@Logan-xo9uc yeah ikr 😂
I remember in the lithium demo he would say thats ok I shaved your head
Such a beautiful cover! Anybody else reminded of "In Heaven Everything Is Fine" from Eraserhead?
Are you filipino
You heard Pixies' version?
There is something spooky to the way they cover this song it's great.

They let me feel so melancholic...
This arrange is awesome.
This is soooo guud. I'm sure Kurt's like fanboying out wherever he is.
This wonderful cover is salvation for Kurt´s soul.
Beautiful....I know Kurt is feeling his masterpiece! He loved you guys!!
bringing the baroque pop to the fore. they really get it
Absolutely perfect.
Such a cool contrast from both bands sharing their Music. I really Hope go to hear this, he would love it.
I'm so glad I've been able to hear this awesome and other overblown soppy adjectives ❤💙💜💖💗💘
this gives me hope in humanity
Far fetch I may say
This is how a cover should be done. A flavour of the original given a new twist, fantastic!
Pretty mellow, totally see how someone tired of hard rock would enjoy this. Very trippy
Beautiful. I adore The Vaseline's
beautiful. transparent. translucent. genuine. fucking lovely.
+Charles Caudill And it's what Kurt would love, unique, A COVER!!!!!
Kurt was so humble... he liked bands from his generation ( Vaselines, Pixies). No rivality
That's really sweet of them to do this. Kurt would've loved it.
Beautiful x
I feel so happy for Kurt! This actually made me cry... Now i'm sick of myself
i can imagine how two artists who are fans of each other would interact upon meeting
Rare and beautiful
couldnt imagine a more sweet duo than these their music really helped kurt when his demons were rearing upon him nirvana and the Vaselines were two sides of the same coin
This is my first time I’ve listened.. 🧡
gaaah this version is so freakin beautiful !
I am still alive? I thought I was in heaven.
wHAT A VERSION BRO! is amazing and beautiful
best cover ever! love that its so different.
Same me. I just knew it today when I read the article about Kurt 😊
nice cover.,,especially those hypnotic beat in the middle //
spectacular one of the best videos i have heard
i love this song! thanks for the vaselines nirvana favorite band covering their song.

seen the vaselines live last year in edinburgh supporting mudhoney !! sensational night Eugene Kelly is a top bloke
Smokin fantastic!!!!
hey!...kurt used to do covers of the vaselines...so this song is only fitting
So happy I've found Vaselines covering nirvana.

That's cool of them to do a cover of Nirvana, wasn't expecting that at all. I bet Kurt is looking down with a smile.
Kurt Coabain named his daughter Frances, after Frances Mckee, thats how much he loved this duo.
this is heaven
A lot of Nico solo, VU, something of the one Portished album i've ever bought (don't remember the name) and some little thing from Bjork too. Very interesting and original
Feels like horror movie vibes but i love it anyways
To Die for.
This is so fucking amazing!
Eles fizeram como se fosse um velório, talvez pela grande admiração que nutriam pelo Kurt!
faz sentido :O
He would of loved this..
First time. What a trip here!
wow never knew about this fucking great cover
What a beautiful version...
Got that right
Her voice reminds me of Nico so much love the velvet underground :D
Nah
@@End-Result 8 years ago I wrote this. Thanks for reminding me of this song haha.
Mind blown. This is an awesome cover. Didn't know it existed till today (:
Who is this nirvana band the vaselines keep name dropping?
dude i'm gonna cry
Gave me chills
Awesome cover!!! Yes, thank you Kurt for introducing us to an awesome band!!!
kurt would love it so much
This is funeral parlour version ! "still excellent though," Kurt would be proud.
holy shith i waith for the devil in the final of song....great cover...another song in my rare list of music
And the only time i ever heard of kurt talking of a favorite band. Was in 92. When he said Raw power by the stooges was his favorite album. Beyond that he never had favorites
So you had access to all his thoughts?
While his frustrated part would listen to punk, there was an inner child within Kurt who loved bands such as The Vaselines!
I'm smiling for Kurt as much as you do.
I've never heard this version before... if one thing kc must be proud
Great cover. Thanks, Vaselines. 👏🏻
i love this. very nice tribute.
I love it :)
