hey guys. Weezer and NIRVANA are both great bands. I mean it takes a bunch of fucking courage to sing NIRVANA, besides it could always be worse, like Guns 'n Roses covering this shit ya know?
I love Nirvana. I don't like what Weezer has become but their first few albums are classics. Rivers Cuomo used to be a first rate songwriter. They do nice renditions of Nirvana songs, that never meant to be high-profile (small gigs in small clubs using a different band name!). They're doing it for fun, they are not groundbreaking by any means, but they're FUN and very competent (most Nirvana covers are baffling) and they looked for some lesser known tracks. Good!
@@crushersbutlessedgynow omg I literally just came from there and he mentioned this video (I’ve seen it before since I’m a huge fan of both bands) so I went to check it out again and I found this lol
@aneurysm85 i agree. nirvana was very pop...and very awesome. . but at the same time nirvana was a cover band as well, so i think people should be able to cover them with no hatred for it... although i would rather heard news of the death of weezer than cobain...my opinion.
it's easy to be a critic guys. this is the third "goat punishment" cover I have heard in a row, and ihmho, they're all great; it's easy to sit at home in your underwear infront of a computer critiquing a band because they don't come from the same background as the band they're covering - that's complete BS guys. I was never fortunate enough to see Nirvana live, but I have several live shows, and weather or not you care to hear it, so far these are some of the best covers I've heard...
I saw Melvins in 1993 in Ft Lauderdale with Primus and L7 and again same place in Ft lauderdale in 1994 with Wool and another band, and then recently in 2006 at another club in Ft Lauderdale. I own a lot of thier early stuff including the albums you get imported from Canada and the 12 song ep double CD that came out and a 45 ep with a guy from a band called White Flag. They were called Sawed Off. Yes, i am a fan.
well weezer and nirvana were on the same label in 1994. so i wouldnt say weezer were influenced by them, but i would say they are paying respect to nirvana.
@KRS1LEGEND Actually bleach isn't the only album that fell into the grunge category. All the Outseticeide albums, the Unserpassed demos album, and Fecal Matter, the name of the band before it was Nirvana, were all grunge/oldschool punk. Listen to them!
why would a band like that play so many covers? especially of such a particular niche style and such a contemporary band? the only explanation is that they had some special vested interest in that particular body of work.
@usernameavailable dude I was saying that to the people who thinks this is a great cover, I do like weezer but I didn't like how they covered this song.
way to argue who is better than each other. Shut the hell up and just enjoy it. If you don't like the cover. Great. Hit the dislike button then never come back to the page!
people hate on them to much but wtf why weezers the shit they did everything nirvana did the right way with out being just like nirvana weezers got damn near every nirvana technique in there songs and in my opinion thats why there just as fucking good
I said "was" because they are no longer making music. Their music that they made is still... well, the shit. I really dont see why I got a thumbs down.
Probably like 1987 or 1988. Don't tell me Weezer is any better: "These are my heart songs They never feel wrong And when I wake For goodness sake These are the songs I keep singin'" At least Kurt got better every CD. It's just pathetic to be in the industry as long as Weezer and still sound like a highschooler wrote the lyrics.
I can compare oranges and apples.. Apples are better because you can pick up and eat. Oranges you have to fucking work to peel the skin...ITS ANNOYING!
That's great, but it doesn't matter. What does he do with his great guitar skill? He writes crappy pop songs and whines. I've listened to a lot of Weezer because I tried to like them. It's just bad stuff. Bad lyrics and inane music.
hey guys. Weezer and NIRVANA are both great bands. I mean it takes a bunch of fucking courage to sing NIRVANA, besides it could always be worse, like Guns 'n Roses covering this shit ya know?
Nirvana was the shit
Weezer is the shit
this cover is awesome...i mean...the shit.
the end
best song off of Bleach?
my God, i love Weezer even more now for covering it :D

Hello I come from the fuuutuure. Have you listened to zombie bastards yet? XD
I really like weezer, I also really like nirvana. This is my favorite nirvana song! Great cover:)
+Jack Hall that was punexpected
Rivers is Kurt Cobain...they do look similar and sound similar. Weezer's music was awesome just like Nirvana. Easily changed up his style
go watch whangs! video on this

sounds fuckin great. i'm totally against a nirvana reunion, but if it had to happen, Rivers is the right guy for the job.
Give Scott Bondy from Verbena a listen. Yes, that's Dave Grohl playing bass.

you must have really hated a few days ago
I keep think I'm listening to a live nirvana concert when this song plays on my playlist.
wow finally someone covering a song that most people prob haven't heard
it's easy to be a critic guys.

2019 anyone????
still holding it down!
Nope

This song is one of the greatest Nirvana´s songs. I like this cover. I like weezer too.
Oh wow his voice sounds so much like Kurt's x)
idk what everyone is so pissed about. its not a bad cover at all and it obviously shows that weezer has a lot of respect for nirvana
Best cover band of all time
Sounds like a party.
well weezer and nirvana were on the same label in 1994. so i wouldnt say weezer were influenced by them, but i would say they are paying respect to nirvana.
Rest Well Man, we'll see you soon!!!!!!!!
Ye who punish ghosts must wheeze
amen
awesome
Nirvana and Weezer both kick ass. So...WIN
hahaha the people calling weezer "emo". =w='s been around since the early 90s. best nirvana cover band ever too.
@KRS1LEGEND Actually bleach isn't the only album that fell into the grunge category. All the Outseticeide albums, the Unserpassed demos album, and Fecal Matter, the name of the band before it was Nirvana, were all grunge/oldschool punk. Listen to them!
i agree with you -.-
Great cover. Trust me, Cobain would have approved
Thumbs up to you. ;)
They never wrote pop songs, except for About a Girl. The rest are much more genuine.
Dave will stare you down....
grohl wasn't thier original drummer in fact , he was their last drummer
does exist this in video?????
good covers
no1 can replace kurt!!! thats all i can say....
It sounds like green day had a baby with blur and it was nirvana
@aneurysm85 did you ever once consider that rivers was a HUGE fan Of Kurts and maybe just maybe paying tribute to him? Go be angry somewhere dude.
why would a band like that play so many covers? especially of such a particular niche style and such a contemporary band? the only explanation is that they had some special vested interest in that particular body of work.
cool :)
i know weazer can never EVER be any where as good as nirvana
@aneurysm85 I can play all the songs you just listed on guitar
i hate weezer but this is like nirvana in a raw ass concert, so i like
@DisposableHeroes0 There's crappy manufactured pop like Miley Cyrus and then there's good pop, like the Beatles.
@Musicaltyler Shup no one invited you to talk >:O
@usernameavailable dude I was saying that to the people who thinks this is a great cover, I do like weezer but I didn't like how they covered this song.
@aneurysm85 smells like teen spirit was a pop tone purposily to make fun of pop the others u described arnt pop at all
@teacherman1903 Amen,
way to argue who is better than each other. Shut the hell up and just enjoy it. If you don't like the cover. Great. Hit the dislike button then never come back to the page!
ok i don't know the weezers and they are not nirvana's but the cover is not so bad!!!
@aneurysm85 Ah, Then dont quote in Velocoraptor claws xD makes people think your saying it.....
its weezer but it was goat punishment at the time it was played
Nice, great to see someone covering something from Bleach!
Doesn't sound too bad either,
Much worse covers on youtube
dude weezer is like a trillion times better
no it isnt??
people hate on them to much but wtf why weezers the shit they did everything nirvana did the right way with out being just like nirvana weezers got damn near every nirvana technique in there songs and in my opinion thats why there just as fucking good
tyler skott some say Kurt cobain faked his suicide and then began weezer as their frontman
Yes, we all know Weezer sucks but at the same time, at least someone's covering an older Nirvana song and not the same old ones.
its not bad. rivers voice just isnt deep enough. musically its the same lol
damn good that riff is hard to play...
I said "was" because they are no longer making music. Their music that they made is still... well, the shit.
I really dont see why I got a thumbs down.
you have to find a 12 year old comment to see anyone talking about seeing 'thumbs down' since YT neutered the thumbs down feature so long ago..
@RandomOnlineDude Like Miley Cyrus :D
weezer can not top nirvana this cover is okay i still prefer the bleach version
i think the phrase "ya know" is more annoying
It's not a bad cover actually, I liked it
I've heard much worse
i think only 2 of those are poppy, everything weezer does is poppy.
@aneurysm85 FU~ Weezer rock xD Not as good as Nirvana But they are good.
Probably like 1987 or 1988. Don't tell me Weezer is any better:
"These are my heart songs
They never feel wrong
And when I wake
For goodness sake
These are the songs
I keep singin'"
At least Kurt got better every CD. It's just pathetic to be in the industry as long as Weezer and still sound like a highschooler wrote the lyrics.
Max It's been 11 years. How you been?
I can compare oranges and apples..
Apples are better because you can pick up and eat.
Oranges you have to fucking work to peel the skin...ITS ANNOYING!
That's great, but it doesn't matter. What does he do with his great guitar skill? He writes crappy pop songs and whines. I've listened to a lot of Weezer because I tried to like them. It's just bad stuff. Bad lyrics and inane music.
drumming fail. but it was okay.
thats a fucking digrace
weezer is about as far as you can get from nirvana
nirvana: art
weezer: bullshit pop. as bad as nickelback in my opinio
wimps
?
bad cover...but hey weezer are big nirvana fans like us...
no the dudes voice sucks! no offense to people who love weezer but kurt is better
OH GOD how I hate Weezer. What an awful excuse for a band.
ihh pfui studenten covern gute musik *schrecklich*
ew please no
