he actually does a really good cover of Nirvana...never heard anyone do it that good,and for not having english as a first language. It's really really well done.
i am a huge nirvana fan and the first time i found this cover, at first i thought it would be strange, but this is one of the best covers heard, by anyone. his voice is amazing. i loke the roughness and his imperfect engrish, and he is a guitar master. image him on an electric guitar. he needs to come to america and grace some of us with that type of skill.
Miyavi is such a genius. Loving this cover alot and when people hate on it remember Kurt could never even keep up with his guitar skills. So for me this is definitely a banger of a cover.
This is a good cover of the song. Doesn't matter that his English isn't perfect. He put all he had into it. And, it shows. Believe me, I've been a huge Nirvana fan since 89 and, have heard literally hundreds of covers and, this is just as good as any of the others. Well done. 5/5
I love the fluidity of his motions when he plays guitar. If you listen to some of his other attempts to sing in English, you can hear him getting better and better at it. It's a work in progress, just like it would be for someone to sing in Japanese. Personally, I think he's a wonderful musician and feel it's unfair to compare a cover to the original.
NIRVANA - BREW (japanese version and transliteration) If you wanna mine I won't like to blue If you wanna mine I won't like to lose If we wouldn't care I want the right to leave If you wanna mine I would't like to prove You see another rhythm to boil your stain Could you deliver wherever the letter's seen He is another water to rinse your shave If you wanna mine I won't like to groom If you wanna mine I won't like to look If we wouldn't care I want the right to leave If you wanna mine I won't like to broom Is this see another rhythm to boil your stain Could you deliver wherelse the letter's steam He is another water to lamp your shame you could have wanted it, you curdle any scene,you curse on any seem, you could do any see, you curdle any sing, you curdle any sing Thank you
Another great cover by Miyavi and it was a Nirvana song! I love both Nirvana and Miyavi and for the people who comment just to criticize or talk about artists need to get a life or just don't comment....
Imagine someone handing you the lyrics to a song in japanese, and you have to sing it. You'd have a horrid accent too. Overall I like it, but the lyrics come across as gibberish when he gets really into it. Great guitar work though. I have to admit to liking the roughness in his voice though. It's unique.
i just noticed hearing his insane playing on the guitar makes me type faster. its like i feel i'm racing him, but i can never win cause he's to fast:} i love miyavi!!!!!!!!
haha time pass so fast i remember this was one of the first things i ever saw in youtube back in 2007

Hehehehe, completely agree!!! I can`t barely understand what Kurt sings, even when I`ve been a huge fan of Nirvana for several years. Good comment. Oh! And, ggod cover from Miyabi, I love it!
well, i've learned the basics, i can play almost any song i want, from night street - yuki matsui to Wings you are the hero - Kotaro Oshio... but this guy's play style is just weird :'(
Sheridon S. Kaleb Its weird because he didnt get teached to play like that. (thats not a fact) What im saying is, you just need to try and play like that. think he plays drop d tho. All you have to do is drop d find the chords he plays then its all down to you. It might sound dumb but its his hand that plays it not his mind. lol :) idk...
@xXJustXxXNirvanaXx This song was made for a honorary album dedicated to Nirvana named 'All Apologies V.A.',12 other famous musicians and bands collaborated on it, it was quite big project (there is studio version of this cover). This cover would be tolerable as a quick spontaneous performance in a radio, but for an album which was produced and made in long period of time and is still available in shops? nah
Wow this is really unique, job well done. Love this song and this is very different but till good. You can really play the guitar, and it shows. Good job and keep it up. - Jaymes
Wow, I'm blown away. This guy is amazing. Nirvana had a very special dynamic so no, no one will be able to replicate Cobain's style. But in truth, I think Kurt would appreciate someone honoring his song the way it deserves.
He is now in Movies in the USA and singing in English living in California. Wife and 2 kids. Living the life. Finally knows English. Makes me tear up coming back to this video and his old interviews where he would say "happy merry Christmas" and be a cutie.... I remember his Myspace dreams of coming to America to live the dream... and he did it.
@malandr0bem Miyavi is an uber-famous Japanese musician/model/idol. He played guitar for a really popular band called Due le Quartz before he started his solo career.
@countessli I wasn't complaining. I love this cover, it's brilliant. I was just responding to someone who said he was hard to understand and pointed out Kurt Cobain was similar in that respect.
well almost all of us can agree that his guitar skills are amazing.i'm a musician still in school and i can say that his skills are amazing.just give the music one last chance like popsnaplecraq said, but you don't have to and u are right on ur comment domelam about the hastyness and stuff.
Gosh, why is so hard for people to understand Miyavi's musical greatness? I did a presentation of him for my public speaking class and showed a clip of "Selfish Love" with subtitles of English translation and everything and everyone looked like "What the *uck is this?!" People should really stay open with music! It's universal!
Huge fan of Nirvana and Foo Fighters. Personally a fan of this version because it's alittle more put together and up beat as apposed to the Nirvana Version. The only downside is that I can't really understand his words (Miyavi that is). But to all haters right now, Music is Music... You listen to it, I listen to it, stop hating it. You are flooding RUclips to a point noone wants to comment. So listen to the video, if not, change it to your favorite artist.
@jsrkill He's also usually much grungier/better/etc. Go listen to: Coin Lockers Baby Papa Mama Nozomare Nu Baby (little less grunge than Coin Locker Baby more metal/alt) Are You Ready To Rock Rock no Gyakushu (warning: there's a few accent parts but outweighed by the [overall] grunge) Oresama Shikou (super metal/grunge) SuperMotherFuckerBitch Shikenkan Baby Torture (not grunge really, mostly alt or so)
I always find my way back to this cover. Been listening to it for over 12 yrs now still sounds so fresh
Cobain would have loved this cover.
1:1
This is so weird yet cool in it's own way. Dude is rockin it
he actually does a really good cover of Nirvana...never heard anyone do it that good,and for not having english as a first language. It's really really well done.
as a hardcore nirvana fan i like this cover. why? because it is raw and dirty and unclean
Floyd Barber and it's original, an actual cover not imitation lol
Exact
also the way he slurs the lines and doesnt say them word for word makes it more authentic and cobain like
It's so cool that Nirvana is still on people's radar.
+Dutchess Dioji They're all time. Never going away.
They still are lmao
yep!! i was raised on nirvana and they’re still pretty big !!
i am a huge nirvana fan and the first time i found this cover, at first i thought it would be strange, but this is one of the best covers heard, by anyone. his voice is amazing. i loke the roughness and his imperfect engrish, and he is a guitar master. image him on an electric guitar. he needs to come to america and grace some of us with that type of skill.
Miyavi is such a genius. Loving this cover alot and when people hate on it remember Kurt could never even keep up with his guitar skills. So for me this is definitely a banger of a cover.
The cover is very cool. But not a banger kurt was a genious. With 4 or 5 powerchords make something never had done. Kurt is a legend
This is a good cover of the song.
Doesn't matter that his English isn't perfect.
He put all he had into it. And, it shows.
Believe me, I've been a huge Nirvana fan since 89 and, have heard literally hundreds of covers and, this is just as good as any of the others.
Well done.
5/5
Nice acoustic version, I like his voice
Great way to play the song. And even Kurt would like this!
I love the fluidity of his motions when he plays guitar. If you listen to some of his other attempts to sing in English, you can hear him getting better and better at it. It's a work in progress, just like it would be for someone to sing in Japanese. Personally, I think he's a wonderful musician and feel it's unfair to compare a cover to the original.
Jesus I remember when this came out.
One of the best covers ever made.
I love how Miyavi puts his own little flavor into songs!
He made me like the song even more!
I never get tired of it definitely skills very high it's great
I still love this cover all these years later. It's amazing and just the kind of thing Cobain would have loved the shit out of!
Elvis said make the song your own. This guy did exactly that and with a lot of skill and talent. Well done.
This is the best cover I've ever heard of this song. Fun and fantastic!
I think the accent kinda adds to the grunge!
Holy crap. My love of Miyavi just grew exponentially.
omg now i know what 12year old girls feel like when the see justin bieber >.
im a huge nirvana fan but i gotta say this is probably one of the best covers of their songs EVER done this and You Know You're Rights by Seether
NIRVANA - BREW (japanese version and transliteration)
If you wanna mine I won't like to blue
If you wanna mine I won't like to lose
If we wouldn't care I want the right to leave
If you wanna mine I would't like to prove
You see another rhythm to boil your stain
Could you deliver wherever the letter's seen
He is another water to rinse your shave
If you wanna mine I won't like to groom
If you wanna mine I won't like to look
If we wouldn't care I want the right to leave
If you wanna mine I won't like to broom
Is this see another rhythm to boil your stain
Could you deliver wherelse the letter's steam
He is another water to lamp your shame
you could have wanted it, you curdle any scene,you curse on any seem, you could do any see, you curdle any sing, you curdle any sing
Thank you
LOVE the way you played this.. the very definition of a cover song
U want this hat or this one?
M: Yes
That made me cry from joy. I love Miyavi and I love Nirvana....just so great.
I like this cover a lot
Nice work
He is effin' perfect. He has such great style in everything.
Who fucking cares the way he pronounces it?Kurt wasn't really good at pronouncing hes words either.
I love the way he pronounces it. Adds a lot of character.
Another great cover by Miyavi and it was a Nirvana song! I love both Nirvana and Miyavi and for the people who comment just to criticize or talk about artists need to get a life or just don't comment....

I have to admit to liking the roughness in his voice though. It's unique.
Because it's Miyavi ^.^
Awesome guitar skills and styling.
i just noticed hearing his insane playing on the guitar makes me type faster. its like i feel i'm racing him, but i can never win cause he's to fast:} i love miyavi!!!!!!!!
Уиии, просто восхитительно.

This clip is a year or two older than the upload. It was recorded before youtube
11 years Omg...
haha time pass so fast i remember this was one of the first things i ever saw in youtube back in 2007
Hehehehe, completely agree!!! I can`t barely understand what Kurt sings, even when I`ve been a huge fan of Nirvana for several years.
Good comment. Oh! And, ggod cover from Miyabi, I love it!
anyone can teach me how to strum pick like this guy :'(?
he don't use picks, that's the secret
best person that can do that is you, after you've learned the basics. Believe it!
well, i've learned the basics, i can play almost any song i want, from night street - yuki matsui to Wings you are the hero - Kotaro Oshio... but this guy's play style is just weird :'(
Sheridon S. Kaleb Its weird because he didnt get teached to play like that. (thats not a fact) What im saying is, you just need to try and play like that. think he plays drop d tho. All you have to do is drop d find the chords he plays then its all down to you. It might sound dumb but its his hand that plays it not his mind. lol :) idk...
Sheridon S. Kaleb make your own wired sound and :)
That was a hell of a lot better than i expected it to be. :D
hell yea rock it japanese man... hell yeah lol....if you wouldnt mind i would like to blew too...
Very good my friend..Screw the haters man..Keep rockin and a rollin. Much love from Lafayette Indiana USA.
この人やっぱアコギの低音でやるとカッケェな
you'll never be nearly as talented as him, so what's it matter, easily one of the most talented musicians of the age, period
ごっつカッコええ！
外人の評価悪いみたいやけど、再生回数の多さからすると、最後まで見とるな。悔しいんやな日本人にやられてw

He is now in Movies in the USA and singing in English living in California. Wife and 2 kids. Living the life. Finally knows English. Makes me tear up coming back to this video and his old interviews where he would say "happy merry Christmas" and be a cutie.... I remember his Myspace dreams of coming to America to live the dream... and he did it.
Used to listen to this years and years ago when I was at the peak of my Nirvana obsession.
THIS IS CRAZY!! Miyavi is awesome!! O_O He must be the best guitarist in the world!! XOOO
Just Awesome!
Who is Miyavi and dose he have anymore Nirvana covers? This dude is awasome!
YEHA! awesome playing!!!

The cover is so sick that nobody pointed the doble cap thing LOL what the actual....
Nice performance
@malandr0bem Miyavi is an uber-famous Japanese musician/model/idol. He played guitar for a really popular band called Due le Quartz before he started his solo career.
LOVE. (is there anything more I could comment? don't think so)
Oh really cool. I especially like how the guitar is played.
thats the beauty of that career dress however you want and still look awesome
@countessli I wasn't complaining. I love this cover, it's brilliant. I was just responding to someone who said he was hard to understand and pointed out Kurt Cobain was similar in that respect.
现在看还是很酷
well almost all of us can agree that his guitar skills are amazing.i'm a musician still in school and i can say that his skills are amazing.just give the music one last chance like popsnaplecraq said, but you don't have to and u are right on ur comment domelam about the hastyness and stuff.
Pretty good rhythm!
omg, he's like me favorite-st guitarist ever! (so far) it's like effortless with him lol his fingers are like running spiders. So quick!
Love this! Passion incarnate.
Gosh, why is so hard for people to understand Miyavi's musical greatness? I did a presentation of him for my public speaking class and showed a clip of "Selfish Love" with subtitles of English translation and everything and everyone looked like "What the *uck is this?!" People should really stay open with music! It's universal!
No one is more amazing than Miyavi!!!
Much respect my fellow artist
two hats, crazy but amazing and cool cover
wow!
that was amazing
really interesting percusive playing style x
so..super cool!!!
He's got that guitar NAILED.
Huge fan of Nirvana and Foo Fighters. Personally a fan of this version because it's alittle more put together and up beat as apposed to the Nirvana Version. The only downside is that I can't really understand his words (Miyavi that is). But to all haters right now, Music is Music... You listen to it, I listen to it, stop hating it.
You are flooding RUclips to a point noone wants to comment. So listen to the video, if not, change it to your favorite artist.
@KCgrunge Yeah, this actually "Blew" me away lol I'm a big fan of Nirvana; I have all of their CD's on my iPod :D ....ahh, this is great! :D
Quite impressive!
I still love his music
Amazing
@jsrkill He's also usually much grungier/better/etc. Go listen to:
Coin Lockers Baby
Papa Mama Nozomare Nu Baby (little less grunge than Coin Locker Baby more metal/alt)
Are You Ready To Rock
Rock no Gyakushu (warning: there's a few accent parts but outweighed by the [overall] grunge)
Oresama Shikou (super metal/grunge)
SuperMotherFuckerBitch
Shikenkan Baby
Torture (not grunge really, mostly alt or so)
