For the record, the people in the audience absolutely knew they attended a historic moment. I was pretty young, 9th grade. When this aired on mtv it was all most of us talked about.
just some music trivia for you Gen Z kids, the guitar (1959 Martin D-18E) that Kurt is holding in his hand became the World's Most Expensive Guitar to ever be sold at an Auction, it sold for 6 MIL dollars. Kurt also holds the recod for the 2nd most highest price a guitar was ever sold at an auction, his famous 1969 Fender Mustang sold for 4.5 MIL dollars. Kurt also holds the record for the highest price ever paid for a rock n roll piece of clothing. The grey cardigan that he is wearing on the UNplugged album sold for $333,400 in 2019.
Man Who Sold the World was on the radio constantly when this came out. I always cranked it when it came on. I knew it was Bowie, but didn't hear the Bowie version until many years later-no RUclips back then.
For pennyroyal tea, Kurt himself said that he wished this version of it would’ve been the one on in utero. Also, you guys should really check out The New Abnormal by The Strokes. If you like Nirvana (and also Is This It) you’d love this album
Another great Nirvana show to check out is Live at the Paramount. its not as famous as their MTV Unplugged gig, but honestly, it’s my favorite. the setlist is awesome, covering tracks from all three albums, and the cinematography is super cool. plus, their Paramount performance is so tight and full of energy that I actually prefer a few of the live versions of their songs from this show over the studio ones. there are even 4k versions on youtube, so you can really feel like you're there!
Another epic reaction to an amazing band/album/performance. You guys really are picking some brilliant music to open your minds ears and souls. The whole 90s grunge thing is 🔥 and I've seen your prog reactions to tool and pink floyd, can't wait for you guys to try some rush. Especially 2112 & moving pictures. You'll be opened up to yet another portal of music and growth. Keep up the epic work guys, appreciate you both. From some random middle aged dad in England ❤
Love seeing you guys discover this era. Gotta do these soon- Soundgarden- "Badmotorfinger" (it's their heaviest IMO) Temple of the Dog AiC- Unplugged AiC- Tripod (self titled) AiC- Sap (because why not?)
I don’t think mtv would let us play that. The person on the cello is Lori Golston. IMO she’s the most under appreciated person who’s played with Nirvana. She adds so much and she’s an amazing cellist Also you guys should check on System of a Down’s self titled. If you love Nirvana you’d also love them!
Pearl Jam's Unplugged is goated!! And of course AIC Unplugged is heart-wrenching. might as well complete the Grunge Unplugged set; its all a masterclass in musical awesomeness.
You guys reaction is the exact reaction we had watching it being broadcast live. We thought it would be a drug-addled mess, no one expected it to be this amazing. Nirvana went into the media stratosphere after this. They took the whole world by surprise.
New Metal basically means they play heavy metal instruments but they also often have a turntable DJ and half rap/half singing lyrics. Notable bands are Limp Bizkit, Korn, Linkin Park,etc. Old Metal is the pioneers of the genre aka Black Sabbath Iron Maiden, etc..., then you have hair metal, and thrash metal, death metal, its go so many sub genre it's impossible to remember them all and they all kind of bleed over.
Such an amazing performance, his voice was incredible. Someone mentioned the jaw movement, but from what I heard he always did that as his own sort of metronome to keep his own song timing
You guys should check out the first album from Foo Fighters to see Dave in action. He played all the instruments, by the way, congrats for the channel it's awsome... Cheers from Brazil!!
Great reaction guys! I have to second the suggestion to watch Nirvana - Live at the Paramount (Oct. 31, 1991) Shot brilliantly on film and looks/sounds so good!
You guys would love Alice in Chain's, Stone Temple Pilots, and Pearl Jam unplugged. These guys really set the bar and showed people these guys were professionals at their craft.
I've seen this show a hundred times (the unplugged, not this reaction) and I never noticed Dave playing bass on "Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam" before.
I love you guy’s videos, it’s so cool watching people experience the music I’ve loved my whole life for the first time. You should totally check out Rage Against the Machine’s first album which is self-titled. It’s certainly one of if not the best hard rock album of all time
Chronologically, I'd like you to cover the Gothenburg melodic death metal scene which was happening around the same time as the Grunge scene, a little later. Maybe ease into it with mid to late 00s metalcore.
I'd go either hip hop or a 90s alt/rock marathon. You can reasonably pull everything from Oasis to Tool into that bucket w Smashing Pumpkins and dare I say STP since they were never really a 'grunge' band.
I've seen a couple people say it but you guys should watch the Montage of Heck documentary about Kurt's life. It's really well done, artistic, and visually beautiful.
Side note ... Mark Lanegan does Where Did you Sleep Last Night as well .... Very cool version and prefer that one. Apparently he and Kurt would listen to old Ledbetter songs together....
Not going to lie, a little disappointed you guys didn't react to any Mudhoney albums in your "grunge" reactions yet. They're one of the Seattle bands that really epitomised grunge ... them and Tad. Mudhoney's 1992 album "Piece of Cake" is peak grunge and probably their most accessible album but work backwards from there 'cos there are some absolute gems on those earlier albums.
“I was simply blown away when I found that Kurt Cobain liked my work, and have always wanted to talk to him about his reasons for covering ‘The Man Who Sold the World’” and that it was a good straight forward rendition and sounded somehow very honest. It would have been nice to have worked with him, but just talking with him would have been real cool.” -David Bowie
Eventually do a Doom Metal and/or Stoner Metal marathon for sure. Bands like Sleep, Electric Wizard, YOB, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Elder, Windhand, Pallbearer, etc. If you love Black Sabbath, these bands really scratch an itch.
You guys should def check out Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven. It’s probably one of the most emotional and beautiful albums of all time. LONG SEASON gives the same feeling too! That one’s a great one too! Or if you want something fun then King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s “Nonagon Infinity” would be great as well. Or if you want to switch things up a bit a try Electronic then Aphex Twin would be a great start! Either Richard D. James Album or Selected Ambient Works 85-92 Nonetheless I loved the reaction ✌️ you guys do the best album reactions:D
Nu-Metal= A hodge podge of everything. Tuned down guitars, funk, jazz , grunge, arena rock ,hip hop beat, influeces some with, others without a DJ. Forfatherd by bads such as Faith No More, Janes Addiction , Primus, Chilli Peppers
Nirvana easily the best, best vocal performance ever, some of the greatest covers of all time, and the story behind it. PJ is just their 1st album in acoustic and AIC had layne barely able to sing. Theres a reason why Nirvana Unplugged is hailed as one of the greatest live albums of all time, the others arent. Where did you sleep last night + Man who sold the world are 2 of the best cover songs of all time
I think you might have missed Polly and On a Plain unless they got cut… I think it’s on the Unplugged DVD where there’s a look back on the show from people who were there as fans and working at MTV, pretty good watch. Best part was when they got wind that Nirvana was bringing out guests they all thought Vedder or someone big and when they found out it was the Meat Puppets they were all like “who the fuck are the Meat Puppets??”
Gotta do the big 3 for mtv unplugged. You’ve got one. Do AIC and Pearl Jam unplugged. Personally, I think Pearl Jam was goat in unplugged but all 3 are amazing.

AIC Unplugged for our next live stream!
Do vulgar Display of Power
Do Appetite for destruction
Do Primus Sailing the seas of cheese or Brown Album
@@BillyBongOh I hard agree with Vulgar Display of Power
@@BillyBongI second all 3!
DO NIRVANA LIVE AT PARAMOUNT FOR THE NEXT NEXT ONE PLEASSE
Do Tago Mago by can. Don’t listen to “peking O” tho it’s kinda shit lol. Every other track on there is massively influential and underrated! 🔥
Kurt lived a quarter of a lifetime, but this performance is immortal.
108 is a long life
Who said you're supposed to live until you lose your mind?
Time is a flat circle
@@Blisteryn I'm pretty sure he did lose his mind lmao
“The guy on the drums is locked in”. 😂 You have no idea.
Pretty sure they know
@@shenanigans3710 i think hes talking about how dave had to try REAALLY hard to not hit the drums hard
For the record, the people in the audience absolutely knew they attended a historic moment. I was pretty young, 9th grade. When this aired on mtv it was all most of us talked about.
The reason Kurt always moved his jaw when he was playing was not because he was on drugs… he did that to keep tempo when playing 👍🏼
Came here to comment this
He had stomach problems and just on benzodiazepines I think
Dave's doing kick and high-hat with his feet, playing bass, and singing at the same time.
just some music trivia for you Gen Z kids, the guitar (1959 Martin D-18E) that Kurt is holding in his hand became the World's Most Expensive Guitar to ever be sold at an Auction, it sold for 6 MIL dollars.

Super mad props to whoever donated for Silverchair Frogstomp. They were/are a super important band for the 90s.
Silverchair was my junior high early high school years! My all time favorite band
Dude! Their Neon Ballroom album is a masterpiece
@@j.robinson8823 it was great. But I love Frogstomp and Freakshow equally. Many great tracks on all 3 albums
For pennyroyal tea, Kurt himself said that he wished this version of it would’ve been the one on in utero.

Couldn't agree more! Live at the Paramount is underrated but so good
Reading and Belgium Munich Germany 1991 sappy performance 1994 Milan italy
@user-mw3dd6ys1u love how he sits down during that bad ass solo too
I like Reading when they do Molly lips wish Eugene
So glad you guys have grown as a channel to the point where you can livestream. I tuned in and had a blast
As long as y'all don't get hit too hard by youtube, y'all have absolute gold here imo.

Great comment - I'm a middle-aged guy from America and I could not agree more with everything you're saying
Love seeing you guys discover this era. Gotta do these soon-
Soundgarden- "Badmotorfinger" (it's their heaviest IMO)
Temple of the Dog
AiC- Unplugged
AiC- Tripod (self titled)
AiC- Sap (because why not?)
I don’t think mtv would let us play that. The person on the cello is Lori Golston. IMO she’s the most under appreciated person who’s played with Nirvana. She adds so much and she’s an amazing cellist

I ❤️ AiC, and their Unplugged is so very special, but PJ was amazing. What a performance!
For sure.
STPs Unplugged is great as well!
Queensrÿche unplugged is incredible and overlooked
You guys reaction is the exact reaction we had watching it being broadcast live. We thought it would be a drug-addled mess, no one expected it to be this amazing. Nirvana went into the media stratosphere after this. They took the whole world by surprise.
It’s like Kurt was playing at his own memorial.
That sweater recently sold for 2 million at an auction
Temple of the Dog
Nuff said
New Metal basically means they play heavy metal instruments but they also often have a turntable DJ and half rap/half singing lyrics.

You guys should react to Alice In Chains' Unplugged.
I'm so mad I missed it! Also never stop yapping, we're here for the yap, that's why we watch instead of the original!
This album was so iconic because it was like a new studio album but performed live.
I mean, mostly a cover album. Not anything new on it, still my fav acoustic album ever.
It also came out after cobain died
I watched this live when it came out. So beautiful. When Kurt died, my heart broke. Watching this is just super emotional.
In the aftermath of his death people realized that the design of this set looked like a funeral
Mad Season Live at The Moore Concert Reaction.
Layne Staley and Mike McCready at their best.
🙋♀️ YES! That Mad Season album is gold! ❤
I think you guys would love Blind Melon's self titled, one of the strongest debut albums ever imo
Absolutely 💯
Soup too, so underrated!!
kurt had +1,000,000 aura
also y'all should do soad fs
You guys GOT TO do BADMOTORFINGER.
the stream was very entertaining you guys pulled it off very naturally
I would also suggest that you check out another MTV performance of theirs called Live And Loud.
What until you discover Screaming Trees, Mother Love Bone, Tad, Melvins.
Aside from that...the Stone Temple Pilots discography will blow your mind.
Love Screaming Trees 😅 When people do their “90’s deep dive” they always overlook the Seattle Bands that weren’t classified as grunge.
People forget how good STP was! Especially those first 3 albums...
Such an amazing performance, his voice was incredible.
Someone mentioned the jaw movement, but from what I heard he always did that as his own sort of metronome to keep his own song timing
Watched the stream live, great time guys. great work!!!!
the boy on the left increasingly dresses more grunge
You guys should check out the first album from Foo Fighters to see Dave in action. He played all the instruments, by the way, congrats for the channel it's awsome... Cheers from Brazil!!
You should check out You Know You're Right if you haven't yet. It's the very last song Nirvana released, years after Kurt's death.
Yall need to listen to Clutch -Elephant Riders its another great band from the 90s. You two would love them
I remember watching this on Mtv, it was rad! I wore out a couple of these cds. Unplugged was an insanely good series
This is so fun. Enjoy the rawness!
Please oh please do a metal marathon
A must listen is when the kite string pops by acid bath
Beastie Boys marathon 😎
Great reaction guys! I have to second the suggestion to watch Nirvana - Live at the Paramount (Oct. 31, 1991) Shot brilliantly on film and looks/sounds so good!
You guys would love Alice in Chain's, Stone Temple Pilots, and Pearl Jam unplugged. These guys really set the bar and showed people these guys were professionals at their craft.
I've seen this show a hundred times (the unplugged, not this reaction) and I never noticed Dave playing bass on "Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam" before.
Plateau and Lake of fire was the two ones for me 👌 What a great show from a Legendary band 🤟
Something in the way while crossfaded is something man....
I'm excited by how excited at least 2 people from this generation are to experience this.
make it 3!
After hearing this album I went and bought The Vaselines and The Meat Puppets II.
You guys are dope, you should check out The Pixies any album to see what inspired Kurt! Rock on dudes brings me back Thanks for the reactions
I love you guy’s videos, it’s so cool watching people experience the music I’ve loved my whole life for the first time. You should totally check out Rage Against the Machine’s first album which is self-titled. It’s certainly one of if not the best hard rock album of all time
You guys need to discover Portishead. And your life will change forever.
I remember watching this when it first came on. MTV... I cried
Chronologically, I'd like you to cover the Gothenburg melodic death metal scene which was happening around the same time as the Grunge scene, a little later.
Maybe ease into it with mid to late 00s metalcore.
Unplugged was a great series.
I'd go either hip hop or a 90s alt/rock marathon.
You can reasonably pull everything from Oasis to Tool into that bucket w Smashing Pumpkins and dare I say STP since they were never really a 'grunge' band.
Do all the unplugg's. PJ, Staind, STP, Seether, Jay Z Eric Clapton etc
YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT PEARL JAM'S MTV UNPLUGGED IT'S AMAZING!! 😊💓🤘✌️
YAAAASSS! 🏆
YALL Gotta React to Above - Mad Season (Layne Staley Side Project)
gotta do appetite for destruction, definitely maybe, whats the story morning glory, the first audioslave album, and the black album
Great call outs!
Nu metal is metal that incorporates elements from other genres, like rap and funk.
Super show, guys! Please do more Grunge marathon. Would pay you to listen to the whole Vs. album from Pearl Jam! ❤🔥
I've seen a couple people say it but you guys should watch the Montage of Heck documentary about Kurt's life. It's really well done, artistic, and visually beautiful.
King Gizzard marathon. I’ve got a 26 song playlist, best song from each album
Side note ... Mark Lanegan does Where Did you Sleep Last Night as well .... Very cool version and prefer that one. Apparently he and Kurt would listen to old Ledbetter songs together....
Ledbetter 😭😭😭😭
Metal marathon!
I think yall should check out nirvana's set at live and loud because next to this it is one of their best live shows
Portishead - Dummy (trip-hop) ... Blind Melon - Soup (folky alt rock) ... Toadies - Rubberneck (southern alt rock)
Great suggestions. Toadies: Rubberneck incredible album!
I'm extremely curious to see what the updated tier list will look like now lol
Not going to lie, a little disappointed you guys didn't react to any Mudhoney albums in your "grunge" reactions yet. They're one of the Seattle bands that really epitomised grunge ... them and Tad.

Always moves his jaw when playing. Keeping time.

Most iconic episode yet!
He's the Mr. Roger's of chaos.
Kurt sold the world, he had it in the palm of his hand... And let it go.
You guys should def check out Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven. It’s probably one of the most emotional and beautiful albums of all time. LONG SEASON gives the same feeling too! That one’s a great one too!

amazing and good band to listen nirvana
Pennyroyal Tea rules on here, and on In Utero obv
Nu-Metal= A hodge podge of everything. Tuned down guitars, funk, jazz , grunge, arena rock ,hip hop beat, influeces some with, others without a DJ. Forfatherd by bads such as Faith No More, Janes Addiction , Primus, Chilli Peppers
Primus is in their own genre.
This is the best unplugged. Pearl Jam is probably the next best. Alice in Chains' is just sad...
Alice In Chains is very sad but still beautiful and great. It’s the best Unplugged imo.
AIC’s unplugged was easily the best of them all
I think AIC’s was the best
@user-mw3dd6ys1u By far is crazy
Nirvana easily the best, best vocal performance ever, some of the greatest covers of all time, and the story behind it. PJ is just their 1st album in acoustic and AIC had layne barely able to sing.

Nu Metal Marathon next. Nu Metal is Metal with elements of rap/hip hop influence. Must do slipknot self titled
I recommend 2 records to you guys to check out Alice In Chains self titled or tripod as it’s called and stone temple pilots core
They are definitely plugged ⚡️😂
4:00 he was withdrawing, so the producers had to hook him up with a few Valium, I believe.
Dave was actually not supposed to play for the unplugged, they were about to go without drums for this but it was changed last min
INCESTISIDE OR WITH THE LIGHTS OUT BOX SET!!!!!!!
Me watching a recording of a live stream of two guys watching a live performance from 30 years ago
Gotta do the big 3 for mtv unplugged. You’ve got one. Do AIC and Pearl Jam unplugged. Personally, I think Pearl Jam was goat in unplugged but all 3 are amazing.
nirvana..legend
Would love nu metal/metal, especially System of a Down
Fr
PLEAAASEEE CHECK OUT NIRVANA LIVE AT PARAMOUNT
Guys see yas at AIC MTV... I will cry 😥....not a Nirvana fan sorry 😔I rewatch all AIC vids 👍
Badmotorfinger must be listened to ASAP
Came for the band, stayed for "My Girl"
Alice in Chains MTV unplugged next! my life will be complete
Since you enjoyed Man who sold the world the next reaction should be Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from mars by Bowie ⚡️
