"It might be nice to eventually start playing acoustic guitars, and be thought of as a singer and a songwriter. Rather than a 'Grunge Rocker you know?'

Exactly thanks a lot for sharing this he was a real Visionary artist Singer and songwriter with Long time goals It's so hard to believe that he would end his Life with a long barrel shotgun after taking lethal dose of heroin
@@celebratelife8436 Yeah it’s so nuts to believe that a chronically depressed heroin addict who’d recently had a near fatal overdose and suicide attempt would kill himself. Then again, the earth is flat, so who knows?
@@krisfrederick5001 definitely. the fact that it might be the last thing he recorded gives it such weight, it's hard not to read into the trembles in his voice, but to him it may have just been another song
@@jamesvalid248basically his singing and singing technique wasn’t something anyone could do a lot without losing their voice. He probably used a soft falsetto when singing by himself and writing songs
@@DredgenX I looked through my history and came up with nothing😕… I thought it was in a brief clip of Kurt saying he shot coke with Alice In Chains all night (jokingly). If I can find it I’ll send the link.
The legendary performance of About A Girl live in Rotterdam, Holland 1991. During the second verse, Kurts guitar sound cuts off, the whole band breaks down and suddenly Kurt sings the verse part in falsetto :D Also worth to mention: a few moments later when Kurts guitar sound returns, they just explode!
I almost put Beans in this video, but after relistening I think it’s more of a high pitched squeal than a real falsetto technique. Let me know if there are any other instances of Kurt singing in falsetto.
@@imcokecandle the recording might be slightly pitched up, but i think he's just doing that with his voice. his 4 track skits show he has a knack for weird voices
My fav performance of About a Girl in De Doelen, right in the middle of it. Kurt’s guitar cuts out and the band goes all quiet and his vocals go falsetto to match

I would like to offer my thank you, and other gratitudinals, for you use whenever & however you might see fit. A rainy day, perhaps? Hmmm….. Also, am I dreaming this, or is there ever a moment in any of the do re mi solo acoustic performances that Kurt actually mudders the me and my IV lyric…? I swear it happened, but my brain is not what it used to be anymore… Just for the record, you guys, I spent the first 20 years of my life with even as even in his youth, curmudgeon and finally gallons of rubbing alcohol as the three rarest that I could find until the Internet started giving them away for free… I don’t even know if I would be able to handle the amount of material that you guys have to listen to these days always always sometimes. Keep up the great work thank you again!
Kurt always used like the clipping bit to do little vocal flips that requires the falsetto. So he definitely didn't rarely use it. he used his vocal cords error voice box as he saw fit. And with amazing control. Super nuanced. I have no clue how to sing technically really but I can mimic somewhat decent. and I can tell u that much at least. His falsetto was like a flicker of a lighter thing he would incorporate. I don't really know how to explain it cause I'm self taught when it comes to that I guess. So I don't know the right terms. But even something in the way might also be falsetto. George Michael's and Ian Curtis have falsetto at lower pitches for reference? I'm pretty sure falsetto is just like light vibrating I fuckin forget the science shit. The words don't do me any good cuz nobody knows them lol. I just sing by ear. Copycat . It's fun not knowing how
Kurt sings a bit in falsetto during the performance of Blew at The Moon, New Haven 1991 in about 2 minutes in ruclips.net/video/s9DaOPDWHmM/видео.html I THINK thats falsetto but idk might be wrong 🙏
I just looked into it, cause I was under the false assumption that Kurt did all the backing vocals for Nevermind, but Livenirvana has a quote from Butch Vig where he says about Something in the Way, "Later on we overdubbed drums and Kurt added some harmonies". I do hear it sounding like Dave though
Is Kurt using his natural voice in "What more can i say" i always assumed it was effects on the high parts, shifting the pitch. Also theres nothing really proving this story true, and ive heard people talk about some other Montage demo somg as being more likely a candidate, but for some reason i always associate it as being the song Kurt sent to Ren and Stimpy lol ot just gives off a kids cartoon type vibe imo even though its extremely unlikely the same song.
i doubt kurt had any equipment at home that could pitch shift without effecting the speed as well. it's just kurt doing a raspy falsetto because he just wants to get the idea down. i've always wondered what he sent in for Ren & Stimpy, probably not a public song
Awesone to listen to thos amongst AIC:s Dirt Album while high on hash, speed, few benzos and 600mg of gabapentin. 😁 I just finished doing laundry, while listening to Dirt. ✌️😁👌
How did you isolate the backing vocal track of Something in the Way (assuming it was you)? I know softwares that isolate the vocals from the instrumental but none that isolates one track of vocals from another.

@@rarestnirvana It’s also a great song but incomplete, so we are just left wondering what could have been.
I wish he lived and that song was never recorded. it’s his intention to end himself put into song. devastates me to listen to every time.
Hearing this stuff makes a songwriter feel like they can do what Kurt did. In a very good way
who found my voice memos
lol fr
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
exactly me lmao
We just have nowhere near enough songs from this man as we should have.
6:24 Me when its 12AM and I want to sing Nirvana:
lmao
😃😃
I would bet he wrote lots of songs in falsetto. Kurts style of singing would blow his voice out if he sang that way all the time.
I don’t understand
@@jamesvalid248basically his singing and singing technique wasn’t something anyone could do a lot without losing their voice. He probably used a soft falsetto when singing by himself and writing songs
I saw a video where his managers or agents tried to get him off Coke…the drink. They said it was bad for his vocal cords.
@@twt2718 if thats true id rly love the video name or link. ive always found cola to help, but maybe the citric acid or something is bad idk

he was either on helium or using a voice modifier in beans

Beans is Kurt's real voice ..I think he just played with speeds
that falsetto negative creep has me snorting
finally someone doesn't forget bright smile
Hearing that right after Aberdeen was a powerful experience the first time I listened to montage of heck

You can feel that music was the truest cure for his soul, the heroin was just to make him forget abut his body…
In the second chorus for _Dive,_ you can hear him go falsetto on the backing track on "MEEEEEEE."
nice compilation, dude!!!!!
some or most of my favorites of Kurt Cobain’s works include a falsetto somewhere in the runtime i love is so much sounds so good man so nice so eerie
So awesome thanks
what an album my god

thank you again!
@7:00 is that Thurston Moore drinking a beer off the floor? Nirvana made him thursty
Beautiful voice❤❤❤
Was this based on that reddit post asking what songs Kurt sang falsetto on?
that was my post haha. i was doing research
What more can I say sounds so epic. Wish I could hear a full song of that. I could hear Dave's drums beefing it up.
Its a bit of a crime to not put the Mr. Moustache scream in here lol, probably one of his best falsetto stuff
Especially the demo version where he gets all frisky for tractors haha
He had such a knack for finding dissonance and extensions.
Great range

I THINK thats falsetto but idk might be wrong 🙏
that is for sure falsetto, thanks for the add I hadn't heard this
07:42 Are these really kurt's vocals? It sounds alot like dave and it would make sense if it was; just wondering.
It would make sense because Dave did do vocals for In Bloom.
I just looked into it, cause I was under the false assumption that Kurt did all the backing vocals for Nevermind, but Livenirvana has a quote from Butch Vig where he says about Something in the Way, "Later on we overdubbed drums and Kurt added some harmonies". I do hear it sounding like Dave though

6:31 Kurt looks a bit like Axl here. Hi Axl, Hi Axl, where's Axl!?
Loved it but is there one for Dive?!❤
7:50 I think this is Dave Grohl, not Kurt
I'm getting Jeremy Enigk and Jeff Mangum with a few of these songs.
I see why he didn't do this
think the something in the way harmonies are actually daves vocals
One of the funniest things I’ve ever heard 😂
Kurt sings "he doesn't have a gun"
Dave does . Cover of the first foo fighters album . Dave illumanati sacrificed Kurt ..
ah yes. dave grohl shot kurt with his Buck Rogers raygun. brilliant
@@rarestnirvana sounds like something they would say

That’s a little concerning. U don’t wanna end up like Layne
speed and gabapentin is a good enough combo, and addictive

es la versión larga del álbum de 2015 Montage of Heck. Puedes encontrarlo buscando Do Re Mi (Medley)
@@rarestnirvana vou pesquisar melhor muito obrigado :D
You missed Kurt singing Aerosmith Song, dream on, doing his best falsetto ever
He used falsetto in lake of fire once
Isn’t it Dave on Something in the Way?
He sang in John Frusciante
7:07 thurston moore?
whats the song that plays during the subtitles?
Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through the Strip
@@rarestnirvana i thought i recognized it! ty!
So Kurt used the Mickey Mouse voice before Axl Rose
head voice and falsetto is not the same technique
🤣 yall don’t mind nothing 😂
Something in the way is Dave Grohl
Steve Albini and Livenirvana say it was Kurt, but it does sound a bit like Dave
@@rarestnirvana How would Steve know? He wasn't involved in the recording of Something in the Way
@@saxwastaken Sorry, Butch Vig is who I meant to say. Butch Vig said that.

✍️📖🐦🎶😶🌫️👼
Do you even know what falsetto is??😂😂😂😂😂
yeah
Hate it!!!!! Freaking thank god he chose to sing the way he did!!!! God Dam!!!!
It’s just an easy non exhausting way to test stuff while writing songs
@@enriquepastor3626 I know. Their just goofing around and having fun with it. I get that. It's my opinion....
I'm pretty sure that Buzzs Les Paul Coustom that Kurt is muckin with.
The Desire song definitely has an interesting melody and could have culminated into a nice song.
Isn't dave on something in the way backing vocals?
