[@joydivision5189]

Fun fact: Kurt Cobain played guitar left handed, but wrote with his right hand.

[@elephantti2502]

JOY DIVISION he also drummed with the Ringo Starr style

This version is fucking cool, that scream.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah!

[@JLE999]

This should’ve been on Bleach

[@kevinmiller8492]

great track

[@joshmcturner]

I hope Jack Endino can somehow get Geffen to release this version officially, he’s the one who recorded and mixed it after all! I think the live in Rome version is the best official release available of this song, and then the Sun Pop 200 version and finally the Fecal Matter version on the Sliver Box Set.

[@samhywell]

[@duhmainmang]

My favorite version of this song ever. Should have been the Bleach opener!

[@fuckamericanidiot]

@guilhermecarneiro1 that is a cracking set of recordings, i love dale crover

[@MultiMikey81]

Not many people know but this song is actually about a member of hawkwind

[@kller324]

This one sounds more like a Melvins song (probably because of Dale) and the later version sounds more like a mudhoney version.

[@bonghoger]

it does not sound like a mudhoney version. I saw dan peters play with nirvana at the motorsports garage. & you know Dale rocks !

[@JeremyB1993]

@macc305 congratulation you know recognize a bass!

[@thedrewids7]

no suga tonight in my coffee no sugar tonight in my tea!!! lol jus kidding

[@macc305]

@ToxicityGuitar YEAH, THAT COMMENT ITS KIND OF OLD, AND IT WAS STUPID

[@stitchgrimly6167]

Why was the Outcesticide release sped up to standard tuning? And who mastered this?

[@LanaDelReyLover]

The live at Reading version is better than any recording

[@kmistake]

Disagree, listen to Rome concert, 1991

[@joshmcturner]

How can I buy this song?

[@LSDMTHC]

was he playing right handed?

[@extra.nirvana]

just a image flip most likely. kurt wrote right handed but always played guitar/bass as a lefty.
