In case you don't know, when he says "All these songs are off their second record" in the beginning of the video, he's talking about the Meat Puppets. A handful of the songs that they play on this Unplugged session are Meat Puppets songs, and Chris and Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets are sitting in with them here. That's Curt Kirkwood on guitar.
What is awesome about the Nirvana unplugged was that they said screw it we aren't playing our popular songs they played so many other things than nirvana tunes my favorite was The Man who sold the world
@@KVTVonline yes, the Vaselines, David Bowie, The Meat Puppets and Lead Belly. I'm thinking the people in the audience might not have appreciated it at the time. But looking back, they now realize they were there for a classic performance.
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 on the rest of the show yes, but on the three Meatpuppets songs Chris and Curt sit in for Pat Smear and Krist Novoselic. You can see at the end of the video Pat and Krist swapping back in.
@@user-oq5su7yq3v I agree majority of my favourite bands/requests don't get a chance because nobody knows who they are. To many underrated bands and alice in chains are better than nirvana but nirvana always got the centre stage. The thing is i hate 80% of popular metal
Kurt was a genius lyricist & an amazing painter, he was basically "rejected" by his family members who didn't support his passion for music. Songs & paintings were his way to express his feelings. It's really sad that he died so young :(
"Thing One and Thing Two" as Kurt introduced them during the set! lol DON'T blame Alex here, he wasn't born yet while we were rocking out to this and bands like the Meat Puppets, Mud Honey and the Pixies lol
And the hardest one to listen too, even Dave said it's hard for him to listen to because your can hear the pain in Kurt's voice... and you can... and I can say, Kurt has been the best thing that has ever happened in rock history. And his legacy will be in everyone's heart... R.I.P Kurt Cobain.
I’m a guitarist and vocalist, and watching these MTV Unplugged performances by Nirvana and all the amazing other bands. One thing that shocked me completely was when I was at my guitar store I saw something insane. They have drumheads signed by famous musicians and bands who come through the store, and ours has one signed by the Meat Puppets, and that’s who Nirvana is playing with here. Their songs on their performance which was Lake of Fire, Plateau and Oh Me were absolutely fantastic, and seeing that they’ve been there was such an amazing feeling.
This whole performance was next level once in a lifetime. A cold November night in NYC, black candles, white lilys... it felt different. I said before, I'll say it again: even if you don't make a video of it, you need to see this whole Unplugged set start to finish. It's almost life changing. It really hits you in the gut and picks you back up.
I like that you get Kurt's authenticity. You were saying that this was how Nirvana would sound like on day 4. I'm currently reading Mark Lanegan's memoir and he recounts the first time he say Nirvana playing at a public library and he said they sounded the same and he immediately knew he had witnessed greatness.
I remember watching this on MTV when they actually celebrated music. I always loved the meat puppets and Kurt inviting them to join the unplugged performance was beyond cool. Like Kurt said, Lake of fire is on meat puppets second record.
This IS EDITED, there was a false start to the verse "I knew a lady..." that has been taken out. Fun Fact: Stone Temple Pilots performed their unplugged show at this same venue/location on the night before Nirvana's show.
I did see Nirvana (Kurt) live back in ‘93 at the Arizona State Fair. I was 14 at the time and it was a show I’ll never forget. This was a few months before he took his own life.
There was nothing better than being a kid during this time period! I was in high school ‘93-‘97. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden. Nothing compares to living during this time. I’ve literally raised my kids on 90’s music and that’s what they listen to. I play guitar bc of all these guys. And seeing them live was simply amazing!!
You were making me feel my age when you said you weren't even born yet. In 1993 I was graduating high school/starting college. I cannot begin to explain the influence Nirvana had on myself and so many others. I am so thankful I DID get the opportunity to see Nirvana live in a mid size ballroom type venue. I cherish that memory.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for letting the video play until the end and letting everyone see more of Kurt and his personality. I personally think it is a shame when reactors cut a video before the song is even over. Granted it may be just one note being drug out a bit, but that was an artist decision made by the artist(s). I feel it would be the equivalent of people only watching part of your reaction videos. You took the time to create the content and to edit it down to exactly what you want seen by the viewer and I appreciate your art. Keep smilin' and keep rockin. 😎👍
Amazing how many people think that was a Nirvana original song. They definitely popularized it but it’s originally from 1984-Meat Puppets. He says it at 6:27.
So, one thing the Nirvana tried to do with their unplugged show was to showcase music they liked themselves and not just play their own stuff. They played only like 2-3 of their own songs, and only did lesser known ones of those. At one point in the show, Kurt invited out the band "The Meatpuppets" and played a few of their songs. This was one of those. They also did an obscure David Bowie song, one from the punk band The Vaselines, one from blues singer Leadbelly. It's such a great performance.
Think it was more like about 8 nirvana tracks out of the cds 14. Come As You Are was probably the only real big hit that they performed, that and maybe About a girl. Girl came from Bleach, the album before Nevermind. Come As You Are, Something in the way, Polly, and On a plain from nevermind. Pennyroyal tea, dumb and all apologies from the then recent album In utero. The rest were covers
The thing that really spoke to us all was how honest and sincere Nirvana always was. Didn't matter if it was a studio recording or live - Kurt was always sharing his heart and it spoke right to ours.
Plateau, Oh Me and Where did you sleep last night 3 of my favorite songs from the Unplugged album. That whole album is such an incredible, authentic masterpiece.
Ive been watching you Alex since the Pantera Domination reaction, you have always kept the same energy and charisma that makes you so unique and keeps me hooked, you inspire others to be themselves and im glad i found someone as funny as straight forward as you
In my opinion, greatest song they ever did.. you can ALMOST hear a vocal country influence in it, really unique tone and style no one will ever sound like this again
I looked up the Meat Puppets original version of this song (as well as the other two Nirvana played during this performance) and Not only did Kurt respectfully pay homage to the original, he blew it away by ten fold. All the grainy, screechiness is how the Meat Puppets performed the song and he absolutely nailed it.
Oh, wow.. blew it away by ten fold.. that sounds like a fan boy/girl opinion hahaha. They are very nice versions and he sings them Really well but the trippy, psychedelic, unique and totally original sound are lost. Not a bad thing but it’s also half of the meat puppets/half nirvana playing on the unplugged versions so really Kurt’s on contribution is the vocals, which are amazing, no doubt. But acting like it just buries the originals is silly, but if you’re into more radio friendly, polished style music I can see how’d it would be preferable
My son was 3 when this came out and he would sit in his carseat and scream the lyrics to this song everytime we got in the car! Going to Sunday school in his little lace collar singing about people dying and going to hell to fry was an anachronism I still think about with happiness!
It’s shows Kurt’s selflessness that he allowed n obscure band to perform three of their songs (on an album released in 1984!) and clapped in appreciation of the Meat Puppets. That really shows a lot of his character, that he would gracious enough to share the spotlight.
@Christopher Bingham It would not have been as memorable if Nirvana had just spit out the hits. An acoustic “Smells Like Teen Spirit” wouldn’t have worked, and Kurt’s choice of covers shows his music influences in a way a rote performance of Nirvana’s hits wouldn’t have done. I know MTV was not happy with Kurt’s creative choices (and not doing an encore after “Where Did You Sleep Last Night?”), but it’s why we still talk about this performance 20+ years later.
@@ashleybrown4754 Kurt was in bad physical shape, but his salvation was music and his talent was being able to convey his emotions so eloquently to others. It adds another layer to how remarkable and transcendent Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged is after all these years.
You should just react to their entire MTV Unplugged performance. That is what made me fall in love with them. And the best part is in the whole performance, they decided not to play their popular songs, but instead they did half covers and half their less popular original songs. This was one of their covers they did. It was written by the Meat Puppets who are the ones playing guitar in this video
Aaaahhhh, the Grunge era... He's actually my main reason to start my own band back then; authenticity, being true and honest-musically, and just go out on the stage without minding what will the audience think about my performance, just me and my music... Great reaction bruh!
Love the music choices and been with this channel since the beginning. Keep up the reaction I enjoy the thoughts and your perspective on the video. Hefner for life 🤟🤘
I only remember 4 Unplugged episodes and those are three of them, Nirvana is the 4th and I bought the CD's to all of them. I vaguely remember hearing "unplugged" Cranberries but I don't remember if that was just an acoustic set they did or actually on Unplugged and now that I'm remembering it I have to google it before it fades out again.
They are my favorite of the grunge area for sure. Clapton,Jay Z , and KORN are also good picks if your just looking for something different. There are some good Spotify playlist if you look up MTV unplugged.
Two of my favorites from that show are Oh Me and In The Pines. I was a junior in high school when this came out and it's ingrained in my being. I wish I could hear it for the first time again.
Nirvana means so much to me they are just so so good one of the best bands I’ve heard and I wish I was a teen in the years he was around instead of a teen now so I could of seen him live RIP kurt contain 🙏🏽🔥🔥
If you like unplugged, often overlooked and one of best is Soul Asylum. The standout song from the set is 'Never Really Been'. It is available as an isolated track on RUclips. Lyrically iris exceptional.
I live in Perth Australia 🤘🇦🇺🤘and I can proudly say that I recorded this on VHS when I was 13 in '93, I'm gonna flipping cry my eyes out and I am only 2 mins in 😢😭🥺
It seems like just last week we watched this on MTV. When they actually played music. And I love Dave Grohl. He looks like someone's nerdy brother they asked at the last minute to play the drums :)
So not only are your reactions great Alex, but lets not forget all the crazy things you edit in..." I haven't smoked all day..." I am a fan of all of it....the crazier the better...and BTW...all the Unplugged sessions rock....I WANT MY MTV...OH WAIT! I WANT MY MTV FROM THE 80'S WHEN IT WAS GREAT!!! Chester, Scott, Kurt, Layne, Chris and so many more....we miss you all! 😢 And it was the members of the Meat Puppets on the guitars...check them out! Lake of Fire is a Meat Puppets song( they wrote it)
Didn't think you'd react to this song so so glad you did not enough people know about it Kurt's voice just gives me chills on it the rasp in his voice and that smooth guitar riff
I can't think of anything to comment so I'm just going to post a Blueberry pancake recipe. 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 1/4 teaspoons white sugar 1 egg 1 cup milk 1/2 tablespoon butter, melted 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, thawed 1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. In a small bowl, beat together egg and milk. Stir milk and egg into flour mixture. Mix in the butter and fold in the blueberries. Set aside for 1 hour. 2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
I wish this whole album would have been Nirvana and The Meat Puppets! This was beautifully haunting! Man Kurt was a genius!!! RIP ❤️ Also so cool how Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets was using a Quarter as a pick in this song.
Kurt is the essence of " what you see/hear, is what you get. Sure, knock him for heroin. But please love him for his soul. Thanks very much for putting him out to a wider audience. If Kurt heard this he would say " whatever, nevermind. So what?!" You really are shining light on diamonds with your reactions. Thanks, dude😊

1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. In a small bowl, beat together egg and milk. Stir milk and egg into flour mixture. Mix in the butter and fold in the blueberries. Set aside for 1 hour.
2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
Architects-A match made in heaven🔥
I wish this whole album would have been Nirvana and The Meat Puppets! This was beautifully haunting! Man Kurt was a genius!!! RIP ❤️ Also so cool how Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets was using a Quarter as a pick in this song.
Kurt is the essence of " what you see/hear, is what you get. Sure, knock him for heroin. But please love him for his soul. Thanks very much for putting him out to a wider audience. If Kurt heard this he would say " whatever, nevermind. So what?!" You really are shining light on diamonds with your reactions. Thanks, dude😊
My ring tone in 2015 this and plateau are some of my favorite songs
About a girl is one of their best on the unplugged album ..
THIS IS THE BEST MTV UNPLUGGED EVER.... THANKS ALEX❤️❤️
you should see the MTV mini doc here in YT, of those people who been there, what they feel back then, and the MTV workers too, unbelievable good
Something In The Way is another one thats really good by Nirvana
Circa Survive covers the song "Dumb" pretty good.
The Used covered "Heart Shaped Box" with Anthony Green and Anthony Green did an amazing job.
I don’t mean to upset anybody, immediately proceeds to upset EVERYONE 😂😂😂
Lake of Fire, Oh me, and Plateau was all written by the Meat puppets, the band that joined them on stage for this performance 🤟
0:56 Is that MTV these days? Thankfully I'm old enough to remember when MTV actually stood for Music TeleVision
Ahh... to have lived as a teenager in the 90s... we rocked!
I love this song on the unplugged album and show. Even though Nirvana didn't make the song, they made a really good cover of it.
stoked to see this one pop up... absolute classic.
