Try imagine a world where nothing on MTV or mainstream radio sounded anything like this. Practically the day before this video dropped Guns and Roses and Michael Jackson was the music that got played. And then this video dropped and everything changed.
It is something that is almost impossible to relive, there are some songs that modern listeners sometimes don't get or understand what it is about a song that made it stand out. It isn't now, but sometimes a song had a new sound either as a whole or as elements at that instant in time, and now is not easily discernible as new. It is one of the most elusive and temporal experiences.
@Syx And sometimes it is the message of a song that makes it new, or at least is a pin in a timeline. Neil Young's Ohio is the final act of the '67 Summer of Love, Woodstock, and Innocence. Teens and young adults in the late 60s had viet nam to protest and identify with, the generation that followed had Nixon and Kent State.
@@Wombbatts I think I discovered Pearl Jam aroud the same time. Which then lead me to Temple Of The Dog Which then lead me Soundgarden. And then Alice In Chains and then STP arrived. And then oddest of all is that this lead me to purchase the 10 disk box set of Led Zeppelin in early 94. I was a junior in High School and that's when I switched from the 90's to the 70's.
@@bethshadid2087 And then people call Neil Young the Godfather of grunge and you realize that the label of grunge is total BS. It's just rock and roll played by artists who write and record music for themselves instead of music for the label. Hence records like Zeppelin III and Tonight's The Night and No Code.
Nirvana were a really influential alternative music band formed in 1987, and breaking up in 1994 after the very sad death of their singer Kirk Cobain. Dave Grohl was the drummer who went on to form The Foo Fighters, another massive band. He is the front man of the band and Taylor Hawkins is the drummer. Taylor is a massive Queen fan and they always or usually do a cover of Under Pressure during their concerts with Taylor mainly doing the singing and Dave taking over on the drums. It's great to watch on RUclips. Smells Like Teen Spirit is one of Nirvana's most famous songs, I just adore the riff - I have that downloaded along with a couple of songs from their MTV Unplugged in New York album which was all acoustic music. All Apologies was one and also a fantastic version of Where Did You Sleep Last Night, a very old traditional American folk song - they did the Lead Belly blues version. I've actually got it on a CD in the car and I listen to it a lot. Great reaction, guys, to this fantastic song! Many thanks. I joined Patreon recently so been enjoying finding my way around. I saw your reaction to Tom Sawyer by Rush for the first time - I don't think that has ever been unblocked on RUclips? Enjoyed that - I love the Tom Sawyer song. Cheers guys.
Hey George & Patrick - this is my 2nd comment - hope you catch my first. What's important to know about this song is this: this is the moment that literally ended 80's hair bands. Just like that - 90's grunge was ushered in.
I'll be 60 now and I've still seen Led Zeppelin live, but when the record Nevermind came out, and especially this song, it hit like a bomb. It embodied the mood and feelings of a whole generation. Somehow there was something completely new again. Unfortunately it was the last time for me personally. there were still some great bands in the 90s but then it always flattened out. today, good music but well, uniformity. nothing more where you think, wow
Seen this video start playing on MTV, kinda in the background over my buddies' shoulders while we're passing a joint around in his bedroom, volume kinda low plus music coming from speakers behind me (not from the TV/video in front of me) idk, it was like discovering sex and magic rapid fire, no warning. Like experiencing Pink Floyd but at the planetarium! Double whammy 2KO life changing, like seeing Pulp Fiction on a big screen, entirely blind reaction, and the huge yellow lettering explodes on the screen in sync with Dick Dale's guitar exploding in your ears introducing the title and star studded cast....I knew immediately that this was a cornerstone "happening" that marked a dramatic turn from "before this" vs "now and beyond"....Tripping!!!
Great reaction guys. I shared my 60's 70' and 80's rock with my kids and when they were teenagers they shared Nirvana with me. I've been a fan ever since. It wasn't hard to transition. Again, Rock on!!!
This is the opening track off their 1991 album "Nevermind", I consider it one of the best albums ever made to be honest. Every single track is phenomenal, No filler. Highly recommend you check out the entire record! They only released 3 studio albums before Cobain died which were: Bleach, Nevermind and In Utero. Their live MTV Unplugged album is worth checking out as well.
Now that you have opened up the Grunge hole... you need to do Alice In Chains and Soundgarden, just as influential as Nirvana RIP Kurt Cobain, this man is missed so much and the drummer is Dave Grohl, who is also the lead singer of FOO FIGHTERS 🔥 #GRUNGE
Hey 👋 @David ANOTHER case for someone needing to have read the comments BEFORE commenting themselves.....🙋🏻♀️(me). I put a comment up higher that started out with something like: “ Now that you’ve opened the Grunge Rock door...” 😝 Oh well... I’m glad I didn’t GO ON to type the LIST I was thinking about too, Iike: Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, as Pearl Jam, and Mother Love Bone, for starters! 😆😆🤣🤣😎...
Drummer here Dave Grohl is now frontman of Foo Fighters, one of the best rock group nowadays. You should react to their song Pretender. It's one of the best rocks songs and the official video is awesome. Also Nirvana's live performance of Where did you sleep last night on MTV Unplugged is piece of art.
It's must be so hard to be young. Full of spirit like Nirvana is singing. During covid-19. It's the hardest discipline. . But it's a war. And Wars usually last a few years as you guys know. . So be careful. And take care of yourself and soon you will be going crazy dancing and it will all come back. Thanks for doing such a great job. Massachusetts
I was 19 when this came out and those were some awesome years, I was obsessed with 3 bands at that time Nirvana, GNR and Metallica. Makes me tear up thinking bout those days.
I'd like to 2nd a request for "Hunger Strike" by Temple of The Dog. It's Eddie Vedder(Pearl Jam) and Chris Cornell of Soundgarden (and later, Audioslave). Temple Of The Dog was a one-time collaboration, for ONE album only in tribute to the late Andrew Wood(of Mother Love Bone, one of the original Grunge bands). Out of this collaboration, the members of Pearl Jam met and became who they are today.... It's killer album! BTW, Nirvana is incredible and Kurt was a gift. He clearly had so much to give to the world....It's too bad he didn't realize it! Next for Nirvana: "Come As You Are", "Heart-Shaped Box"..... RIP Kurt, Chris, Layne, Chester and all who left too soon.... Great reaction Bros!!
Kurt Cobain had one of the most unique voices you can hear. And Nirvana was so oconic that it marked an era that as time passes we value it even more. A magnificent band with magnificent songs!! Please react to "Nirvana- Where Did You Sleep Last Night? (MTV Unplugged)"... It's wonderful!! Love from Argentina.
Perhaps the most famous song out of the grunge era...and broke the genre wide open to mainstream.....Famous video. Grunge has been described by some as America’s answer to British punk. You can really see those similarities in this song. Lots of teenage angst and anger. Keep in mind that the drummer here is a very young Dave Grohl who went on to form The Foo Fighters after Cobain death and the end of Nirvana.....Foo Fighters still very much a going concern.... other top grunge bands..Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog....all with outstanding vocalists.
Like the Beatles and Bob Marley and the Sex Pistols, they became the 'face' of a movement that truly had an effect on rock music history. Extra props for making their second album a bracing 'we mean it, maaaan', or for doing an entire acoustic set, and for some exhilarating live shows. At the time, they seemed closer to 'The Real Thing' than anyone else in rock, and their roar came across as honest as it was loud. And they were on the radio! They were a pop hit, like Michael Jackson and Sting...but with this! It seems the grunge years were rock's last real time as the currency of the culture, and those years were short. But they brought the noise to the mainstream, taking over from the 80's 'hair bands' and reinstated some degree of respect to the genre. They weren't alone, of course, as others will have noted, but I never thought any other band was as exciting as Nirvana. Cheers!
The lyrics in the fourth verse are "With the lights out, it's less dangerous Here we are now, entertain us I feel stupid and contagious"... Still relevant today.
I don't know if you've heard of Rockin' 1000? They are basically 1000 musicians, bass guitars, lead guitars, drums and singers etc who all got together and do concerts. They originally assembled in 2015 to sing a Foo Fighter's song Learn to Fly as a way of persuading The Foo Fighters to visit a small town in Italy, Cesena, to do a concert. And they did! Among other great songs, they do an absolutely fantastic version of Smells Like Teen Spirit. It's on RUclips and I recommend you check it out - you can imagine the sound with a 1000 musicians!! They also do fab versions of Queen, We will Rock You and Deep Purple, Smoke on the Water, and lots more! The full concert at Stade de France, Paris, 2019 is on RUclips and I often watch it.
When I was a kid, my friends and me first heard this album years after it dropped. We were jumping off the walls, smashing furniture and not caring, the energy was so raw. Didn't even know about this video back then.
I’ve been WAITING & WONDERING if you’d ever open the “GRUNGE” Rock (or also known as: “ALTERNATIVE” Rock) door. And now that you’ve stepped one foot inside that door, it’s time to RUN 🏃♂️ don’t walk, all the way thru it!’🤗🙌🙌😀😎.......... You’re gonna LOVVVVE this ride!!😎
There's at least one live performance of this where, at the end, instead of repeating "My denial" Kurt repeats "Roger Taylor" (Queen's drummer). And, Kurt mentions Freddie Mercury in his suicide note. Another great reaction guys!
Another great trio. Making some of the most memorable music. Kurt's writing was one of a kind. True poetry. Very unique songs. Some Other "Volcano songs are Lithium, Stay Away, Scentless Apprentice. Other great tunes besides those three (way too many to name really): In Bloom, Come As You Are, Drain You, Lounge Act, Stay Away, Heart Shaped Box (another volcano song). A very very controversial song at the time where the media didn't understand the song was their song "Rape Me" (ANOTHER VOLCANO SONG You should do that next). It was all over the news.....The elders were not pleased with that song 🤣
Hi guys! This was the spirit of a generation, especially for us, East Europeans who just passed the communism. Very inspiring. To see the impact for generations to come, check Smells Like Teen Spirit - Rockin' 1000. This never gets old!
I didn't read through all the comments, but you LITERALLY have the album that this song is from on your wall (on the left side, third row down, second one in)
This song will always remind me of being at a friend's house when I was dating this one guy. He proceeded to do his rendition of this song and let's just say it tickled me so much I ended up marrying him. Give listen to some Foo Fighters(The drummer Dave Grohl's band): I'll Stick Around, Rope, All My Life, Everlong, Learn to Fly and My Hero just to start
Y'all know I'm a huge fan of yours & I've never requested but my FAVORITE is Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl was the drummer here & after Kurt past he started FF. Dave became lead singer, guitar, and 25 years later & 10 albums he's about to go into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame TWICE! (Once for Nirvana & now FF) Please react to Foo Fighters "The Pretender".
Grunge was pretty much a combination of hard rock, punk rock and classic rock. Some times the songs had deep meanings or were kind of depressing but their target audience of teens and young adults were able to relate, which caused the genre to gain in popularity. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains are all other grunge bands worth a look if you haven't before. Peace and love
Thanks for checking out one of the best and most important songs ever written! Gen-X music fan here. I think rock died when Nu-Metal (Limp Bizkit), hip-hop (Puff Daddy), boy-bands (N*Sync, Backstreet Boys), and bubblegum-pop (Britney Spears, Spice Girls) took over the world. But currently it lives in, of all places, Japan. And especially among women there. I'd love to see what you think of 5-piece all-female rock band called Band-Maid (yeah it sounds silly, but the music is anything but) with their song "Warning!".
@@BROU-bb2uc What does “the beginning of grunge” have to do with the country a musician is from? So next, you’ll make the claim that the Beatles had no influence on the evolution of rock music...because they were from England? I can only hope you were being ironic. 🤨
R.I.P. Kurt Cobain. Nirvana were the pioneers of the music genre called Grunge and affected so many groups after the 90s. As for the drummer is the nicest guy in modern music history, Dave Grohl who is the frontman of Foo Fighters now, by the way many great songs from them to react as well.
I love how the album is behind them 😂

Yes, great one- but to see the moment he opens his eyes- George will have to keep his eyes open this time! 😅

This song marked the official end of the 80s. I love watching people react to it for the first time.
And it thankfully specifically spelled the end of Night Ranger and bands like them. Thank you just for that, Kurt!

REQUEST -CLOE DANCER/ MOTHER LOVE BONE , THE 1ST GRUNGE BAND, ANDY WOOD
Stay safe guys
You HAVE to listen to their song Come As You Are.
I'm sure I'm not the first one to request a Tool reaction. How hasn't it come up yet?!
I’ve requested it multiple times. Idk what their aversion is.
Grunge was pretty much a combination of hard rock, punk rock and classic rock. Some times the songs had deep meanings or were kind of depressing but their target audience of teens and young adults were able to relate, which caused the genre to gain in popularity. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains are all other grunge bands worth a look if you haven't before. Peace and love
Kurt Cobain was a very soft spoken guy,even though you wouldn't think so by his performances, he was a massive Beatles fan, sadly killed himself.
Thanks for checking out one of the best and most important songs ever written! Gen-X music fan here. I think rock died when Nu-Metal (Limp Bizkit), hip-hop (Puff Daddy), boy-bands (N*Sync, Backstreet Boys), and bubblegum-pop (Britney Spears, Spice Girls) took over the world. But currently it lives in, of all places, Japan. And especially among women there. I'd love to see what you think of 5-piece all-female rock band called Band-Maid (yeah it sounds silly, but the music is anything but) with their song "Warning!".
This was underground music finding the light of MTV. Good or bad I cant say but like the previous comment said it was an end of chapter in music.
I'm not saying I wish music went from rock to grunge, skipping disco, punk, new wave. But....hell yes.
DRAIN YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLAY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
prophecy to be fulfilled........
The beginning of grunge.
In the mainstream.
Naw. Dial back to Neil Young in the late 70s. Then you can make that claim. 😉
@@lynnarthur_stillkickin2024 he's Canadian so he doesn't count.
@@BROU-bb2uc What does “the beginning of grunge” have to do with the country a musician is from? So next, you’ll make the claim that the Beatles had no influence on the evolution of rock music...because they were from England?
I can only hope you were being ironic. 🤨
@@lynnarthur_stillkickin2024 dude it was a joke I know you didn't get it because you can't show context on here.
R.I.P. Kurt Cobain. Nirvana were the pioneers of the music genre called Grunge and affected so many groups after the 90s. As for the drummer is the nicest guy in modern music history, Dave Grohl who is the frontman of Foo Fighters now, by the way many great songs from them to react as well.
Greatest band ever! That’s Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters on the drums! I loved your reaction!
Definitely need to try Man in the Box. Alice in Chains, Same era, and an awesome song!
D ghrol on drums old school nirvana
Sonido único e irrepetible: Nirvana
Rip Kurt !!!
