    You didn't screw it up Kurt. You actually played one of the most memorable covers ever.

      he did screw it up on 3:14 He was aiming for the 8th fret, hit the 7th, then over compensated and hit the 9th then finally hit the 8th. But that screw up made the song better in my opinion. Crazy how screwing up can actually work out for the better.

    I was in high school when I learned of his death. I’ll never forget that day. I arrived at school to at least 100 students holding hands in a circle on the football field crying. I asked someone what was going on and they said Kurt Cobain was dead. I didn’t listen to grunge or most rock in those days but I definitely liked Nirvana. See in those days MTV actually played music videos, so you pretty much got exposed to a lot genres. Watching all those kids stand together having their own moment of silence in unity was very powerful. This cover reminds me of that time. Beautiful and Powerful. 😎

      They're spitting and throwing things at his very expensive camera. There's another version I've seen which includes Narduar's entrance and more "respectful" behavior. Courtney apparently arranged the interview, I don't think the boys were on board. To be fair, Narduar takes shit from everyone. Still, having actually been around at this time, my memory of Kurt is not one of a respectful guy. More irreverent and borderline personality types of shit. Whatever you say, though. I really liked Nirvana back in the day, had all their studio records and a bunch of "bootleg" records. I'm not even mad that he was that way. I just would never characterize his behaviors as respectful. He was trying to shock you.

    Man, I'm 70 years old but I miss Kurt. I can only imagine what kind of music he'd be playing today. I'm sure it wouldn't be pop-rock or dance music. This is a David Bowie song. You should listen to him doing it, too. Like Jim Morrison, Kurt is probably jamming with the rest of the greats up in heaven.

      only that you didnt mention any "great musician"^^ its nice music, i listen to it sometimes to and enjoy it. but i mean i like it, if my children paint pictures for me and i hang them up. it doenst have to be ... hieronymus bosch, monet, van gogh or picasso all the time.
      in this picture, kurt cobain, jim morrisson and david bowie are the children and for example hiromi uehara, art tatum, miles davis, franz liszt, paganini, beethoven, bach and friends are the picassos of course.

      @@wurstfinger3289 Well "great musicians" is a subjective term and people like all kinds of different music. Some people don't like Bach. Doesn't mean he wasn't great. If somebody is really good at what they do I don't care what kind of music it is, I pay attention. Kurt was good at what he did. Musicians don't want to be categorized or stuck in a box of some kind, they want to be free to explore and experiment with new things. That's why I hate it when you're at a concert and some yahoo keeps yelling out for the band to do some old song. It's much more interesting to see where a band is going and what they're creating that's new. The only thing I find it hard to listen to is "dissonance" when the notes are not in harmony in any way. That's just noise. I like everything from "Iko Iko" by the Dixie Cups to "29 Palms" by Robert Plant.

      @@wurstfinger3289 Like I said, I'm 70 years old and music is my main interest. During my life I have heard so many different kinds of music from all over the world. There was a time during the '50s when some jazz musicians were experimenting with dissonance. The sound was quite chaotic/confused and not really pleasing to the human ear except as a curiosity and it didn't last long. But you can listen to the most intricate jazz and it harmonizes in some fashion no matter how obtusely. So I know the difference between harmony and dissonance. Even in ancient Africa the natives made drums that harmonized. And what is "cultural industrialized productions"?

      @@johnallen2771 cultural industry in very short means enlightment as instrument of massdesception.
      culture in capitalistic societies has to follow the same dictation of capital, as the industrial production. most important is not the cultural aspect but the value-realization. its not about art, its about selling. so the product doesnt have to be cultural valuable, it has to be easy to consume, easy to understand. it has to have nothing challenging, nothing that could make the individual grow with it.
      it has to be that easy, that after a day of 8-10 hours work, you can just relax and do nothing, while this music is played. actually, you dont even really need to listen. you can do anything else parallel to it. so its not challenging products, its degenerative products.
      its a term not only usefull for music but also for movies, architecture, ... culture.
      you can see it everywhere, if you take a closer look.
      the theroy calls out 2 phases:
      before that, in the liberal days, art was used for progressive, emancipative, critical action with some impact. it was mostly about resistance. its been about free art and stuff. now, in the late capitalism, the art is not free anymore, because "freedom" doenst necessarily express itself in getting money.
      "free art" in the very most cases means poor artist. very poor artist.
      nowadays, art lost a lot of its substance. "under my umbrella ella ella e e e" (rihanna) or eric claptons always the same and not very various guitar"licks" as an example.
      he s not scofield, joscho stephan or david fiuzcinsky.
      the impact, that this has on society: the autonomous individual will be replaced by a hetereonomous one. thats what we can see all over the world.
      the "world of culture" becomes seperated in one very small part of real authentic arts and a big one, produced in an industrial way: mass production of easy things, no complex messages and so on.
      means: the art doesnt communicate or interact with the individual anymore, because the individual is degraded to a consumer. the topics will be only ... easy stuff, superficialities.
      cultural industry is massculture, as a weapon of assimilation.
      its as adorno and horckheimer said: "culture today is infecting everything with sameness".
