  • This haunting, surreal song named after an herbal abortifacient ("it doesn't work, you hippie," Cobain wrote of it in his journal) came about by accident: "[Dave] and Kurt were getting crazy some night down in that apartment with a multi-track cassette recorder, and 'Pennyroyal Tea' came out of that," Novoselic told NPR while reminiscing about the band's past. The song was slated to be the third single from In Utero, but its release was canceled after Cobain committed suicide in April 1994. Plans for a video were scrapped as well, though Cobain's stunning solo version from MTV Unplugged -- just him and a guitar, his voice cracking on the chorus -- ensured that the track got television airplay for quite a while nonetheless.
    Tuning: Half step down.
    Equipment used: Fender Kurt Cobain Mustang, Tech 21 SansAmp Classic and Fender Mustang IV amp.
    Lyrics: I'm on my time with everyone
    I have very bad posture
    Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
    Distill the life that's inside of me
    Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
    I'm anemic royalty
    Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
    So I can sigh eternally
    I'm so tired I can't sleep
    I'm a liar and a thief
    Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
    I'm anemic royalty
    I'm on warm milk and laxatives
    Cherry-flavored antacids
    Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
    Distill the life that's inside of me
    Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
    I'm anemic royalty

    Hey Tom I loved the cover - really good stuff! So I've been playing for only about 4 months, and I mostly play Nirvana songs. I noticed that you do the power chord technique like Kurt did in real life, however when I try to do it with my ring finger it doesn't sound quite right. Do you have any tips on how to correctly do those ring finger power chords, or does it just eventually come with constant practice?

    • @Tomnedreb
      @Tomnedreb  6 лет назад

      Well you have to be sure to press down at least the a and g string with your ring finger, but other than that I guess it's just practice..

    Hey, I love your video covers of Nirvana so much. I was wondering how you play the original track to the song. Sometimes I see on TV in the background that’s where play sometimes but, then are some videos were you play the original track from somewhere else. What do you use to play the original track loud enough to match your cover from the amp?

    • @Tomnedreb
      @Tomnedreb  4 года назад

      Hey, and thanks! I use a Denon C375 amp and Dali Evidence speakers and I'm playing loud as hell.

    YES! Love the camp cope shirt bro, I was supposed to see them a few weeks ago with turnover but they dropped off the tour and was replaced. I think they couldn't make it from Australia or something.

    • @Tomnedreb
      @Tomnedreb  6 лет назад +1

      They pulled out following some allegation against one of the co-headliner's guitarist. They have been fronting the metoo movement for some time. Seems like there is a lot of that stuff going on in the music industry. They are heading back to the states this summer though. Touring with Petal which is one of my fav bands these days.
