Typically they tell drummers to play as they would in the show cause once they set the levels they don’t want a drummer to blow out all the levels during the real show.
They really do go great together. Even Butch Vig talked about how great their voices go together. Dave was an amazing drummer too so I don’t know why Kurt gave him so much guff about being a bad drummer. Maybe a bit of jealousy and ego trip? 🤷♂️
@@Overlorddz I love how these classic guys didn't need tuner pedals... just their ears. Tuning off a riff. George Harrison in the get back doc tells Billy Preston to play a lick (instead of just the one note) while he tunes
This was the very first performance of Nirvana with Pat as a member of the band. Pat had sold his guitars to get a plane ticket to Seattle to start rehearsals and Kurt gave him that blue Mosrite so he had at least a guitar he could use before Fender would supply him with new guitars.
+RastaSaiyaman Wasnt it that he came with his guitar (as far as I know he still has it, his famous wooden/golden looking "forgotthebrand" expensive fancy guitar. And the band said na-ah, cannot play that it would look weird. Then Kurt gave him the blue one.
pizzapingvin Nope, according to Pat himself when he was interviewed a couple of years ago for "Guitarworld" he didn't own a guitar at all when he joined Nirvana because he had to sell them all. loudwire.com/foo-fighters-pat-smear-smashing-fender-strats-kurt-cobain/ That fancy brand is Hagstrom and in those days they had been out of business since the late seventies. Kurt would NEVER object to Pat appearing with a gold sparkle guitar. In fact Kurt often borrowed a Hagstrom from the the guys from Mudhoney when the bands would tour together so he was quite familiar with them. Look up the "Live and loud" footage and you will see Pat playing a Blue Fender, a Red Hagstrom and a black Fender which he later trashes.
pizzapingvin Oh and another thing, working with Steve Albini made Kurt want to get himself a Veleno guitar, which is an all metal instrument. He got one but never used it, Eric Erlandson from Hole later used it. img.photobucket.com/albums/v118/turquoisemoleeater/guitars/Veleno-1.jpg
I love to see how specially Dave gives it all even on the rehearsals. It just means that he can not do it otherwise, that he was being just himself when playing a gig, just like Kurt and Krist.
Honestly it’s sad because most of the people that like them now is fake depressed girls that talk about how he killed his self instead of his amazing skills at guitar and singing but there are a few true fans scattered around
Is in key it's just not simple numbskull melody that you hear today on radio. Various notes are sharps in his melody. Bullshit on the radio is most of the time in the key of C
Out of tune? You’re ears are out of tune! He’s singing this, ‘perfectly!’ This is one of my favorite Nirvana songs! That opening riff, the pounding drums on the chorus and the lyrics, plus the thicker than ‘mud’ bass line! Awesome song, awesome performance!

2021 December 24th , i miss Kurt , grew up with his music way back in 90s high school , getting high on his song , jam on Nirvana songs... Life was so simple.... Miss everything during that time.....
what the fuck lol as soon as they stopped playing heart shaped box Dave automatically had a cigarette lit and he was hitting it talking about a true chain smoker.
Wow. Thats the rawest ive ever heard of a commercial band. Too bad Kurt and the boys couldnt do it all them selves without the suits and ties, he would still be here today at least.
I was born in 1984 in west Michigan and heard Kurt say his favorite place to play in the states was Ann Arbor MICH at the Blind Pig.....so f'in cool....also they played in Detroit and Kzoo I think
rsohlich1 club sloda i kazoo michigan. From yhere pla yed there seen shows there... there picture was on the wall at the club .... was kalamazoos best rock club intown. Long closed now... but had a hayday for sure
Which sucks as the mix that got broadcast was nothing to do with him! There was some shit with Dave though when Craig, their sound engineer, was trying to negotiate a higher salary on the basis that engineers with other touring bands that were less successful than Nirvana were earning substantially more than he was. Dave overheard and long story short he got let go. Thankfully he found work with Hole and proceeded to have a successful career.
Nirvana is the only band in the world for which ... if u would buy a new headphone - while listening to them soundcheck or rehearse you would feel that my loudest volume level is not loud enough. Kurt Cobain - you are GOD that made all of us pick up an electric guitar and a distortion pedal to play some nirvana songs. \bows down/ Massive respect
One of the best markers of a killer drummer is one who can make simple shit sound amazing the 16th-note snare fills starting at 09:01 are about as simple as it gets for drum fills, but somehow he makes them sound different. It could be an essentially imperceptible lag on the left hand or it could be mechanical precision; it could be that each hit is precisely the same volume - as an experienced, professional drummer, I can't even nail down why he just sounds better than anyone else playing this style of drumming. I only wish he had bigger drum sounds. He played astronomically large drums (his rack tom was a small floor tom) but he didn't tune them up high enough, so they always sounded super dead.
better as a drummer than anything else. He is a decent singer, but his songwriting is his main problem, and yeah, that includes his VERY pedestrian guitar playing. He'd probably be better off writing vocals over another guitar player's riffs, but he's a control freak, obviously.
Lindee Levicke I would say his about the same i love nirvana my favourite band but also I’ve seen foo fighters and Dave on drums during that gig his made some amazing songs Where he plays nearly every instrument His songs are harder to play Then all of nirvanas Im because of the chord structure
@@MrPotatoMind Wich part exactly? You may not like his songs but he knows how to write lyrics, music and produce. As someone who tries to write music I can tell you that he knows what he's doing, it's not just a mess of instruments and nonsense lyrics. Again, it's okay if you don't like it but it's pretty mean to just say it sucks.
This video proves Dave was irreplaceable to nirvana and was just as important to its success as Kurt. With a lesser drummer nirvana would not have exploded into success
oh please. Give it a fucking rest. Grohl was up to the great musician that Cobain was, but Cobain was 1000x more important than Grohl. I know 100 drummers who could've played this, AND written it. This song is not rocket science on the drums. Say that about Bonham, or Moon, or Mitch Mitchell. Grohl was a great dummer, no doubt, but Cobain didn't need him. Grohl has done one good album since Nirvana, the first one. Since then, it's been a long road of mediocrity and being FAR too overrated.
Kurt was actually thinking about replacing Dave.. he wasn't happy with his drumming on the in utero tour.. at one point he quit the band, but was talked back into it by the manger, cause they were contractually obligated.... He was gonna quit anyways... well, he didn'thave to wait that long, only a few months, and the band was no more.

This is probably wrong but it might be something by the Pixies. Like when he started playing(before tuning) it sounded sort of like the Pixies song “Here comes your man”
All music really comes down to vision. All of art does. What was envisaged? What was created? Once you capture it...how do you recreate it? How do you continually realise the wonders of your original creation? Nirvana achieved the full sweep here. And because much of what they did had pain at the centre, how profound it is to continually hurt and realise that pain so beautifully. I genuinely felt that watching this performance.
+Kody Patrick He was the other guitar player for Nirvana. He joined to tour for the band's last album; he was with them for their "Unplugged in New York" show. He was also a member of The Germs, a punk rock band from the late 70's. Now he's a member of Foo Fighters.
The filming crew, technicians, and other employees are super lucky getting their own little personal concert pretty much but they were probably so used to it being the biggest show at that time I bet they have some stories
I got to see Nirvana twice in my life. I was just 14 years old both times. Now it's all so surreal. I was lucky to see all of the great artists at all of the Lollapaloozas of the 90's. Alice In Chains, Primus, Helmet, Arrested Development, Dinosaur Jr., Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Jane's Addiction, Rage Against the Machine, Beasti Boys and a shit load of other artists. I was just a kid, but I already knew what music was good thanks my parents and older brother. Different times now. These days the only loyalty kids have about what they find to be of substance is Donald Trump. Literally all of these artists are Liberals. Hell, even Chris Cornell thought Trump was a douchebag and Kurt Cobain asked any fans who hate women, gay people or are racists to not but their records or go to their shows. How the times have changed. I'm glad the best artists still put their middle finger up to trump though, lmao! 😂
Maybe we should judge our politicians based on how well they do for our country, and not what the wealthy, white, elites of our society tell us to think about them.... Just a suggestion...
check out them crazy vultures, its dave on drums, lead singer of queens of the stone age and john paul jones of led zep on bass. dave still hits em and they stay hit! great side project
Dave Grohl is one of the few rock/grunge drummers that steals the show. He totally upstages Cobain and I love how he just beats the hell out of the drums. He gets nearly as much camera time as Kurt (RIP).
Dave @ rehearsal: 💥🥁
Dave @ show: 💥 🥁

Kurt, Krist and Pat are in rehearsal mode, playing at 75%. Dave is in Dave Grohl mode, 110% on everything, all the time!
Typically they tell drummers to play as they would in the show cause once they set the levels they don’t want a drummer to blow out all the levels during the real show.

And because much of what they did had pain at the centre, how profound it is to continually hurt and realise that pain so beautifully. I genuinely felt that watching this performance.
Huh this was actually Pat Smear's first gig with the band. Did not know that..
+Michael Stefano lmaooooo
+CapAnson12345 whos pat smear ?
+Kody Patrick he was the 2nd guitar player dumbass
+Kody Patrick He was the other guitar player for Nirvana. He joined to tour for the band's last album; he was with them for their "Unplugged in New York" show. He was also a member of The Germs, a punk rock band from the late 70's. Now he's a member of Foo Fighters.
He was the guitarist for the legendary punk band The Germs which Nirvana fucking loved so they got him to be their 2nd guitarist
Pat Smear with Nirvana was short lived though
It's because of people like Dave Grohl that I play drums like Animal from the muppets whether there are 10 people in the audience or 10,000.
The filming crew, technicians, and other employees are super lucky getting their own little personal concert pretty much but they were probably so used to it being the biggest show at that time I bet they have some stories
The amazing thing is how he keeps from blasting right through those drum-heads.
Hahaha i love how Kurt plays the riff to Scentless Apprentice at 3:11 awesome
I clicked a Nirvana video and ended up in a staring contest with some random old guy
Pat Smears first time performing with Nirvana
I got to see Nirvana twice in my life. I was just 14 years old both times. Now it's all so surreal. I was lucky to see all of the great artists at all of the Lollapaloozas of the 90's. Alice In Chains, Primus, Helmet, Arrested Development, Dinosaur Jr., Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Jane's Addiction, Rage Against the Machine, Beasti Boys and a shit load of other artists. I was just a kid, but I already knew what music was good thanks my parents and older brother. Different times now. These days the only loyalty kids have about what they find to be of substance is Donald Trump. Literally all of these artists are Liberals. Hell, even Chris Cornell thought Trump was a douchebag and Kurt Cobain asked any fans who hate women, gay people or are racists to not but their records or go to their shows. How the times have changed. I'm glad the best artists still put their middle finger up to trump though, lmao! 😂
Trump was well liked in the 90s. Look at all his movie and TV appearances.
Maybe we should judge our politicians based on how well they do for our country, and not what the wealthy, white, elites of our society tell us to think about them....
Just a suggestion...

More cow bell.
That shit funny as.. Credit due
the
They were game changers - and the change lives on.
i long for the days before game changer was a thing
I love the way how Dave was fuckin rock the drums and in the end continue to smoke likes nothing's happen🥁
Little did Dave and Pat know that they would go on to be in the LAST great rock n roll band of our times!!!!!
when were they in Alice in Chains?
Dave Grohl is one of the few rock/grunge drummers that steals the show. He totally upstages Cobain and I love how he just beats the hell out of the drums. He gets nearly as much camera time as Kurt (RIP).
Yeah and people wonder why Kurt probably didn’t care for Dave. We want to see Kurt not Dave. Kurt wrote the music not Dave
@@putitback4789Dave was way better than him at writing lyrics even when he was in nirvana 🤣
Ohhhh. .snap, i never picked up on that!!!!
The size of the mounted tom on Dave's bass drum. damn
