Pls pls do “ where did you sleep last night “ live from a mtv unplugged session.. you won’t be disappointed! Of course nothing from this band is disappointing! Love it
Amber, if you feel heavy, and I think that's well put, it's because KC just unloaded a ton of his personal angst upon you. These guys were on a level all their own. They did a performance on "MTV Unplugged" that was nothing less than amazing.
I also think when Nirvana made Nevermind, their ambition was to be a cult underground alternative band. Something like Sonic Youth. And Kurt didn't always have an easy life and his music reflects that. Somehow, and even though they didn't chase it, the mainstream came to them and they became huge. That fame was a lot for them to handle. On their next album, In Utero, the band really felt like they could push the limits of emotion and expression. They challenged the audience and if they didn't come along, it always seemed to me like they would be ok with that. Yeah, the video is a lot.
Speaking of their Unplugged, Jay and Amber, you HAVE to react to "Where Did You Sleep Last Night". Kurt's scream at the end of that song, might as well have been his dying scream. He died not long after that concert.
@@GradyBroyles There are a few different interpretations of the meaning behind the song (especially from Courtney) but neither Dave or Krist have ever fully confirmed anything. Dave confessed that when Violet chose to sing this he was a bit shocked, calling it "Nirvana's darkest fuckin' song".
An absolutely brutal unloading of some deeply personal baggage, plus the heaviest riffage ever to worm its way into your ear. Just stunning, irresistible, imo.
My favorite Nirvana song! They filmed this video in black and white. Then they use a computer to colored it. The same way that they colored older movies.
Amber, you totally got it. Heavy is truly a part of music. Dave Grohls drumming is so strong. I can't imagine how his heart is right now. Thanks again for this one.
There are so many Nirvana songs that a wonderful, but this is one of my favorites. The whole MTV unplugged cd is amazing…and their last song, “You Know You’re Right”. Gold.
Wife here..One of my favorite Grunge songs EVER!!..Great Review!!..One of my favorite lines in Rock.."Forever in Debt for your Priceless Advice"..Awesome!
The way this song is taking Amber's emotion is exactly how this band intended it. Deep and dark. The way I describe Nivana is an angry sound that resonated with the youth of the 90's. The youth of the 90's was pissed at everything. And as these kids, if they survived, and now are adults, they are still pissed in some ways.
So technical thing about this album: Nirvana purposefully recorded this in two weeks because Kurt didn't like how polished NEVERMIND turned out to be. He recorded most of the album with an amp that had all of the tubes except one pulled out, so it was running at a quarter of the wattage, which meant it took way less to distort than a full-powered stage amp. So if the guitars sound like they're about to explode, that's part of the reason why.
I was a HUGE Nirvana fan when I was young. Not so much anymore for various reasons. But I still love it because it was the music of my youth. Kurt's death was one of those "where were you when you first heard..." events.
Such an immense loss when Kurt died. He was incredibly talented. While his personal angst was integral in his writing, I have often wished he had never found heroin. Cant help but feel he might still be with us - -
Middle aged GenX’er here. What you need to understand is that popular rock music of the 80s were all about partying and hot women. Largely unrelatable stuff for your average young person. Then came Nirvana. While the lyrics may not have reflected our lives, the feeling the music conveyed sure as hell did. We had angst, ya’ll. Nirvana reached us where we were.
I truly believe my GenX'er cousin who got me obsessed with Nirvana and grunge in general at a young age is a big reason I can't relate to most other Millennials.
2nd half boomers were in fear of going up in flames from nuclear war. your generations are in fear from Climate Change. NOT Boomers fault anymore than it is your own.
My wife ived in Seattle in the early 90s as a teenager. She went to raves in warehouses - grunge bands blaring. Luckily, she's kinda of normal today. 😅
yeah on some level Taylor's death is way harder on Dave because of how deep their friendship was. Dave and Kurt had a much different relationship, Dave and Taylor were like brothers. I feel horrible for him
Couple of different interpretations of this song, apparently Courtney Love gave Kurt Cobain a Heart Shaped Box full of precious unique gifts on their second date which inspired the song title, the lyrics also mention Pisces and Cancer which are Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love’s star signs, however when Lana Del Rey covered it Courtney Love said to her that it was about her vagina so who knows that could just be Courtney Love being Courtney Love.
At that time Nirvana had already passed a stage where their lyrics were full of mystery and their videos were very psychedelic. But it was precisely Kurt Cubain's hallmark of composing that catapulted the band into the groove of the Grunge genre.
Kurt Cobain was heavily influenced by the beat writers, including William S. Burroughs (of "Naked Lunch" fame). The merging of abstract, stream of consciousness poetry with distortion and vibrant, thought-provoking visuals is 100% Kurt.
Amazing and so brilliant to have in stone...William S. Burroughs in a Music Video ....soooooooooooooo Kurt....!!!! No Rock group ever will be like them ...or Kurts imagination .....ever....Sad
I’m suprised people arent requesting nirvana songs that have barely been listened to, I’d love to see reactions to songs like sappy, even in his youth etc.
Of course you’ve heard of this band before. This band changed music with their infectious sound. There’s so much I could say but I won’t bore you with my opinions on this band. However, I will say this, my favorite album ever of theirs is the Nirvana: Unplugged… no doubt a CD you just hit play on and walk away. So in the future when you wanna hear Nirvana you should pull it from this album…. It’s Amazing…. 👊🏼💯💙
It didn't sell as well because people weren't ready for it. They were expecting a grunge sounding sequel to Nevermimd. Instead they got a deep, personal, masterpiece that was like nothing else on the market.
My kids grew up on Nirvana and that era of music. I like this song but am saddened by the loss of another great artist to drugs. Rip Kurt. Glad you enjoyed them. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Kurt is just working out his feelings for his wife Courtney Love, her pregnancy and the birth of his daughter and how it added a new dynamic to an already rocky relationship. She also introduced him to heroin (tar pit trap) and he's reminding her of that fact as well. The song is also sarcastic..."hey wait, I got a new complaint, forever in dept to your priceless advice" (courtney's).
Courtney didn’t introduce Kurt to heroin, it’s one of the things that brought them together. But he went through a brief sober period where he was doing really well, and Courtney being on heroin herself wasn’t the sober companion Kurt needed.
As a few other suggested, their MTV Unplugged was one of the best back in the day, just really well done and super fun to see looking back, as someone who watched it live. Still stands up. :)
That era was all about focusing on feelings rather then external, materialism. Mostly the confusion, depression, and angst commonly felt in youth. Thats how the music was able to become so meaningful to so many of us Gen Xer's.
Seattle Grunge Actually the Drummer is Dave Grohl who formed the Foo Fighters..singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic, Smells like Teen Spirit,Come as you are,Something in the Way are others I didn't know if you did or not already. I think he was another member of the 27 club.
Can't wait for you guys to get deeper into their catalogue, but especially 'You Know You're Right' - There's just so much gritty emotion in that song it's insane.
I was born in 74 with parents and grandparents that were into music. Mostly jazz and pop. In the 80's, when I was a teen, I found grunge and punk and classic rock, and Eminem. I expanded in college, went to over 300 concerts, and I can't do reaction videos...because I keep up, and I've seen it all....but I SERIOUSLY get the best joy out of watching you react to a piece of my history that gives me memories and feels. P&L - G
He was so talented but such a tortured soul! He's been called the voice of my generation (Gen X), a title he didn't want! He just wanted to play music! I saw them at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit in October 1991 and had no idea who they were. When I left the show that night I knew they were going to explode! The awful (sorry Jay) 80's interpretation of rock was finally gone! Continue to R.I.P Kurt! You're still so missed!
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT Most of those bands you listed began their careers in the 70's and that's what I was still listening to. When I think of rock in the 80's, my mind immediately goes to hair bands - the bright, shiny spandex, the huge over-processed hair, all the makeup - I had a difficult time finding any talent. This is just my opinion
They played at the student union at my college - also in 1991 (edited to add - a week after your concert oddly enough) - and two of our friends tried to get my twin and I to go to the show and we said no since we had no clue who they were. We definitely wished we'd gone when they blew up so soon after. Biggest concert regret of my life.
if you think 80s rock was horrible, it only proves you have bad taste in music. Mid 70s to mid 80s was the prime of rock music. Since it seems your generations bands killed rock and roll. I still loved Grunge/Alternative too. But it was plain to see rock quickly disappeared from the charts in the early 2000s. Not in the 80s. You must be the typical younger 2 generations that hate anything connected to Boomers, Because you all in the 2 younger generations were all spoiled rotten PITAs! No matter how much your parents gave you, it was never enough to satisfy you. You tech addicted generations, will never survive in a world without it. Your music sucks, your TV shows suck and your movies all suck as well. The product of 2 generations that never had to use your imaginations & creativity for anything.
I am just grateful that you two experiment with soo many different formats on your platform! Jordan and Amber, you bring joy to us, even if the subject matter is a dark mess - as most Nirvana lyrics are! Keep it going!!!!
Courtney told Kurt that he had to look amazing for this video. So he put a cigarette out on his forehead. You can still see it at the 1993 VMA's. And why his hair is across his forehead in the video. That speaks volumes about their relationship. He didn't give a sh*t.
💙 the imagery and the emotional art expression in this video are magnificent. Theres such a feeling that leaves lasting echoes of raw mental visions and gutty anguish. Pure genius.
Fields were meaning of sanctuary for us in the 90s, because we didn't have internet we go out and connect with nature. Everyone went outside and you will always see the same people, and never thought you were being followed. It was that free.
Do you SEE. Guys, do you see, now, what so jarred the world of music with this new revolution of lyrics, sights and sounds that they had to come up with another whole genre of music. Nirvana was very instrumental in changing the music scene forever in the short time that we had them.
If y'all wanna hear what Nirvana would sound like all you got to do is listen to the Foo fighters the leader of that band Dave grohl was the drummer you were talking about
When we were kids, we’d put our 45’s on the record player all off-center without the spacer. It would sound crazy, surreal, wobbly, drunk, and totally effed-up. This song sounds just like that, in a genius sort of way.
I heard this song for the first time driving down a long dark empty street at night in the rain during Tucson's Monsoon season, or rainy part of late summer, and I literally got chills, the hairs on my arms and neck stood up, I actually had to pull over about halfway thru cos I couldn't focus on driving hearing those words, and honestly, when it was done, I was a bit scared, because that's when it hit me for the first time, Kurt might not be long for this world, that he was walking around with the sword of Damacles over his head. I bought the album the next day, and after listening to the whole thing all I could think was this is a man whose soul, whose mind, whose whole being was on it's last legs, and if someone, anyone, didn't intervene in a serious way, we'd being hearing about this beautiful and deeply tortured man putting a gun in his mouth. And, sadly, yeah... I still, even today, get a bit choked up about it, and frankly pissed, that there weren't more people around him that fateful night, friends, family, anyone, who could've kept him from going away. Just like Layne Staley. Just like Elliott Smith. In fact, if you listen to Elliott Smith's posthumously released last album 'From a Basement on a Hill', it's the same thing; his pending suicide is literally telegraphed directly to you from almost every song. Fuck. Sorry for the heavy comment, guys.
I took time away from nirvana but when you come back in during a different time of life and you know the back story behind the band members their music is SO intense.
Remember.. most music videos were the vision of a director that was hired by the record company to promote the music… the videos were a collaboration but not necessarily the bands idea.
Not in Nirvana's case. They were mostly Kurt's vision, from storyboarding to imagery. In this video, much of the artwork was straight from Kurt's art portfolio. Just one of the things that set Cobain apart from others.
@Rob Squad Reactions Man, I never thought about the 'fields'! LOL For what it's worth, I never saw a band blow up like Nirvana did! I was working part-time at The Sound Warehouse (a popular Tape/CD Store at that time) and we could NOT keep enough copies in the store to meet demand! Nirvana and Pearl Jam... no one was buying anything else for a year straight!
A great artist from the '90s, is Jeff Buckley. Y'all definitely should check him out. "Lover, you should've come over", "so real", "last goodbye", and "dream brother", are just a few from the album Grace, which is one of the best records ever recorded.
Kurt said at the time that the song was about his anger that children have cancer, but his biographers claim it was about his relationship with his wife, Courtney Love.
Some people thought Nirvana had become too commercial when they released Nevermind, admittedly it was more polished than Bleach, their earlier album. In Utero, the album this song was from, was their response and it proved that while their production had improved their songs were as spikey and raw as ever. In fact, many of the new Nirvana fans that had switched on to the band due to Nevermind really couldn't handle the uncomfortable music on In Utero and it was panned when originally released. Listening back to the album after many years, and knowing how Kurt felt at the time, it's not surprising the songs were so challenging to listen to. Life isn't always a bed of roses, sometimes it's full of darkness and pain, and Kurt was one of the best at portraying those emotions we often turn our backs on.
I feel the 90s were as inspired as the 60s as far as revolutionary sounds go in the history of rock and roll. It was group after group, song after song. Tremendous. So glad I was alive for it.
Grunge wasn’t the only kind of music in the 90’s Green Day formed in 1987 they hit the charts in 1991 Welcome to Paradise. They are a punk rock pop rock alternative rock band and awesome and still performing. Basket Case 94, When I Come Around 94,American Idiot 2004 Boulevard of Broken Dreams 2004, Oh Love 2012,21 Guns 2009, and The Last of the American Girls 2009 that’s just the tip of the iceberg for Green Day
Great song &, I love the Hieronymus Bosch imagery in the video. Grunge was a, decidedly American, version of punk which broke in the mid 90s. 95 -96 was the most interesting time for American radio since 1983. Their Unplugged cover of Bowie's the Man Who Sold the World is wonderful.
Sorry for a second post but I think you guys should do some full concert reactions. Some people have suggested Nirvana's MTV Unplugged session, which is what made me think of that. There are so many great concerts from all the great artists and it's such a different experience than single songs and can differ so much between concerts by the same band.
The sound of the song is pretty incredible, that it hangs together despite how discordant and distorted it is. I don't have a lot of angst, so I can't get too deep into it - it doesn't resonate with my spirit - but sound-wise, I'd say it's one of the better Nirvana songs.
Pls pls do “ where did you sleep last night “ live from a mtv unplugged session.. you won’t be disappointed! Of course nothing from this band is disappointing! Love it
Yes
The leadbelly guitar story is priceless...
Yasss
Yep. That one is a must.
The real name of the song is In The Pines
Amber, if you feel heavy, and I think that's well put, it's because KC just unloaded a ton of his personal angst upon you.
These guys were on a level all their own. They did a performance on "MTV Unplugged" that was nothing less than amazing.
Yes I love the UNPLUGGED VIDEO ❤💫❤
That’s one of my favorite albums. It’s a comfortable spot for me.
I also think when Nirvana made Nevermind, their ambition was to be a cult underground alternative band. Something like Sonic Youth. And Kurt didn't always have an easy life and his music reflects that. Somehow, and even though they didn't chase it, the mainstream came to them and they became huge. That fame was a lot for them to handle. On their next album, In Utero, the band really felt like they could push the limits of emotion and expression. They challenged the audience and if they didn't come along, it always seemed to me like they would be ok with that. Yeah, the video is a lot.
👍😃❣️😃👍
Speaking of their Unplugged, Jay and Amber, you HAVE to react to "Where Did You Sleep Last Night". Kurt's scream at the end of that song, might as well have been his dying scream. He died not long after that concert.
The Nirvana song "Something In The Way" is a dark eerie masterpiece.
There was a Nirvana reunion show in early 2020. Dave Grohl's daughter ,Violet , sang this song. She was awesome.
Wow that would have been a great show
@@itsmedino I bet it was. Looked good from the videos.
it's a little um.. well considering what the song is about..
@@GradyBroyles There are a few different interpretations of the meaning behind the song (especially from Courtney) but neither Dave or Krist have ever fully confirmed anything. Dave confessed that when Violet chose to sing this he was a bit shocked, calling it "Nirvana's darkest fuckin' song".
You need to check out The Smith's "How Soon Is Now" if you want major feels!
"Breed" is high energy by Nirvana from start to finish and will freak you out as the sound moves from one ear to the other.
Breed is a fucking beast of a song.
"All Apologies" from the same disc is one that'll leave you wishing that John Lennon had lived long enough to hear it
John would have been enthralled with Kurt's work. Two more similar souls you will not find in Rock n Roll.
Sinead O'Connor also does a stunning version of "All Apologies"
An absolutely brutal unloading of some deeply personal baggage, plus the heaviest riffage ever to worm its way into your ear. Just stunning, irresistible, imo.
My favorite Nirvana song!
They filmed this video in black and white. Then they use a computer to colored it. The same way that they colored older movies.
Oh man, no kidding? I never knew that. That Explains a lot I guess
My favorite from them, too!
First time hearing this fact, and all i can say thank you
Amber, you totally got it. Heavy is truly a part of music. Dave Grohls drumming is so strong. I can't imagine how his heart is right now. Thanks again for this one.
Incredible. We lost such a treat talent when Kurt left us. What a killer tune. It takes you everywhere.
There are so many Nirvana songs that a wonderful, but this is one of my favorites.
The whole MTV unplugged cd is amazing…and their last song, “You Know You’re Right”. Gold.
Wife here..One of my favorite Grunge songs EVER!!..Great Review!!..One of my favorite lines in Rock.."Forever in Debt for your Priceless Advice"..Awesome!

I can't imagine how broken Dave Grohl is..first Kurt, then Chris, then Taylor. Kurt's voice is hauntingly, beautifully, sad
yeah on some level Taylor's death is way harder on Dave because of how deep their friendship was. Dave and Kurt had a much different relationship, Dave and Taylor were like brothers. I feel horrible for him
Interesting morbid observation that I have made: Kurt died 14 years before Dave's best friend Jimmy (overdose). Jimmy died 14 years before Taylor.
Why do you assume he’s still broken? People get over tragedy. It’s human nature to move on and keep living a good life
@@YouthInAsiaRSK ummmm...because he's talked about it? Try being human
Dave is a great drummer and good guy but I don't think Kurt liked him at the end. But Kurt probably hated every one at the end
Man, everyone remembers exactly where they were when they heard Kurt had died, so tragic.

I don’t know… “Meat Eating Orchids” ?
It seems pretty suggestive. Lol 🤷🏼♂️
Plus, she was never sober, so who really knows.
@@adnap lol you just made me figure out something
"heart shaped box" has been a common vagina reference long before nirvana
At that time Nirvana had already passed a stage where their lyrics were full of mystery and their videos were very psychedelic. But it was precisely Kurt Cubain's hallmark of composing that catapulted the band into the groove of the Grunge genre.

J & Amber, their "All Apologies" would be your 5th song from them.
I personally really like the album IN UTERO. Though it didn't sell nearly as well as the previous one, this one was a much more raw album to me.
The whole album is amazing
This is still an album I listen to from beginning to end like an opera. I was so excited to see where they would go next as a band🥺
2 words. Steve. Albini.
It didn't sell as well because people weren't ready for it. They were expecting a grunge sounding sequel to Nevermimd. Instead they got a deep, personal, masterpiece that was like nothing else on the market.
It's hilarious that Kurt referred to this as "our Pop album".
I haven't listened to this song in so long, thanks you guys!
My kids grew up on Nirvana and that era of music. I like this song but am saddened by the loss of another great artist to drugs. Rip Kurt. Glad you enjoyed them.

@@vanessa.jasmine Either way, seems like a bunch of co dependence and dysfunction and resentment.
@@ahronlong9846 Been retired since 91 but there's always talk about getting the old gang back together.
The video and the lyrics show just how much pain Kurt was in mentally at this point.
I love the shock value of this song,,,sometimes life is just messed up in a world gone mad..
As a few other suggested, their MTV Unplugged was one of the best back in the day, just really well done and super fun to see looking back, as someone who watched it live. Still stands up. :)
This number makes my hair stand on end. Total fight or flight. Dramatic and terrifying. LOVE IT.
It's always good to check back in with the Nirvana sound.
That era was all about focusing on feelings rather then external, materialism. Mostly the confusion, depression, and angst commonly felt in youth. Thats how the music was able to become so meaningful to so many of us Gen Xer's.
Early 90s grunge was one of my fave eras in rock
the vid is kinda artsy & krazy! ♥
the video is what Kurt said he could see when he closed his eyes and envisioned it. you are literally looking at what he was thinking
One of my faves from them.
I always remember this song most coz it was playing heavily on the radio around the time of Kurt's death.
keep your tender heart, girl. wish i had guarded mine. lookin at this i don't feel nothin anymore the way like u do. peace

you guys are absolutely my favorite .... not fake at all. 99.9 are. ty for being the 0.01 love yall
Kurt! My grunge peeps. Love this song, although Lithium is my very fave. Miss you Kurt, always. 🤘🏻✌🏻❤️
💙 the imagery and the emotional art expression in this video are magnificent. Theres such a feeling that leaves lasting echoes of raw mental visions and gutty anguish. Pure genius.
If Nirvana were still around, we wouldn't have the Foo Fighters!!! Dave Grohl was Nirvana's drummer!!!🎶🎼🎵🎤🎸🎹🎙🥁🥁🥁🤘🤘🔥🔥
They were so f'n incredible. Kurt Chris Eddie Layne Jerry Scott Dave. All legends. A great time 2 be a music fan
Nirvana was way before its time. Their music never dies or gets old
You guys are so chill. Even tho you are chill i love your energy!
Fields were meaning of sanctuary for us in the 90s, because we didn't have internet we go out and connect with nature. Everyone went outside and you will always see the same people, and never thought you were being followed. It was that free.
My favorite Nirvana song. So glad you guys finally got to it.
Do you SEE. Guys, do you see, now, what so jarred the world of music with this new revolution of lyrics, sights and sounds that they had to come up with another whole genre of music. Nirvana was very instrumental in changing the music scene forever in the short time that we had them.
Wow... heard this in the grocery store today and had to make sure y'all had reacted to it. Well done.
The fields where filled with poppies - the opium plant - great reaction!!!
If y'all wanna hear what Nirvana would sound like all you got to do is listen to the Foo fighters the leader of that band Dave grohl was the drummer you were talking about
When we were kids, we’d put our 45’s on the record player all off-center without the spacer. It would sound crazy, surreal, wobbly, drunk, and totally effed-up.
This song sounds just like that, in a genius sort of way.
You can't leave out the Goo Goo Dolls! They were huge in the 90s. I still love their music. Even Matchbox 20. They were big too.
Would like to thank you both for what you are both doing for us all and yourselves of course!💕
I heard this song for the first time driving down a long dark empty street at night in the rain during Tucson's Monsoon season, or rainy part of late summer, and I literally got chills, the hairs on my arms and neck stood up, I actually had to pull over about halfway thru cos I couldn't focus on driving hearing those words, and honestly, when it was done, I was a bit scared, because that's when it hit me for the first time, Kurt might not be long for this world, that he was walking around with the sword of Damacles over his head. I bought the album the next day, and after listening to the whole thing all I could think was this is a man whose soul, whose mind, whose whole being was on it's last legs, and if someone, anyone, didn't intervene in a serious way, we'd being hearing about this beautiful and deeply tortured man putting a gun in his mouth. And, sadly, yeah... I still, even today, get a bit choked up about it, and frankly pissed, that there weren't more people around him that fateful night, friends, family, anyone, who could've kept him from going away. Just like Layne Staley. Just like Elliott Smith. In fact, if you listen to Elliott Smith's posthumously released last album 'From a Basement on a Hill', it's the same thing; his pending suicide is literally telegraphed directly to you from almost every song. Fuck. Sorry for the heavy comment, guys.
So cool seeing you both enjoy this amazing video! Keep it up!
Tortured is the perfect description of Kurt’s voice. He was tortured somewhat and brought that across in his music really well.
I took time away from nirvana but when you come back in during a different time of life and you know the back story behind the band members their music is SO intense.
Remember.. most music videos were the vision of a director that was hired by the record company to promote the music… the videos were a collaboration but not necessarily the bands idea.
Not in Nirvana's case. They were mostly Kurt's vision, from storyboarding to imagery. In this video, much of the artwork was straight from Kurt's art portfolio. Just one of the things that set Cobain apart from others.
To the band whio slashed glam metal to its knees overnight and catapulted us into another dimension of music, thnx 😊
@Rob Squad Reactions Man, I never thought about the 'fields'! LOL For what it's worth, I never saw a band blow up like Nirvana did! I was working part-time at The Sound Warehouse (a popular Tape/CD Store at that time) and we could NOT keep enough copies in the store to meet demand! Nirvana and Pearl Jam... no one was buying anything else for a year straight!
A great artist from the '90s, is Jeff Buckley. Y'all definitely should check him out. "Lover, you should've come over", "so real", "last goodbye", and "dream brother", are just a few from the album Grace, which is one of the best records ever recorded.
Agreed!
Another taken far too soon.
100% agree. Liliac Wine and Grace are my favourites off that album :)
ONE MILLION TIMES YES!!!!
Id looooove to see a Jeff Buckley reaction! I can already see Amber swooning over that voice haha
I didn't see it stated anywhere in the lyrics, so just in case it hasn't, the lyrics he asked about go "Forever in debt to your priceless advice".
Kurt said at the time that the song was about his anger that children have cancer, but his biographers claim it was about his relationship with his wife, Courtney Love.
It's funny as soon as you said 90s bands in fields I immediate thought of BLIND MELON, No Rain
Me too lol !!!
Jeez finally ya'll did it. The lyric is I'm forever in debt to your priceless advice.
You guys do great! Appreciate you👍
Some people thought Nirvana had become too commercial when they released Nevermind, admittedly it was more polished than Bleach, their earlier album. In Utero, the album this song was from, was their response and it proved that while their production had improved their songs were as spikey and raw as ever. In fact, many of the new Nirvana fans that had switched on to the band due to Nevermind really couldn't handle the uncomfortable music on In Utero and it was panned when originally released. Listening back to the album after many years, and knowing how Kurt felt at the time, it's not surprising the songs were so challenging to listen to. Life isn't always a bed of roses, sometimes it's full of darkness and pain, and Kurt was one of the best at portraying those emotions we often turn our backs on.
Very distinctive sound during the era of grunge.
Once again, love yalls take on this video 🖤🖤
I feel the 90s were as inspired as the 60s as far as revolutionary sounds go in the history of rock and roll. It was group after group, song after song. Tremendous. So glad I was alive for it.
"In Bloom" is a great song & F.Y.I. Nirvana did a couple of songs on MTV Unplugged if you want to see the acoustic versions of some songs
Grunge wasn’t the only kind of music in the 90’s Green Day formed in 1987 they hit the charts in 1991 Welcome to Paradise. They are a punk rock pop rock alternative rock band and awesome and still performing. Basket Case 94, When I Come Around 94,American Idiot 2004 Boulevard of Broken Dreams 2004, Oh Love 2012,21 Guns 2009, and The Last of the American Girls 2009 that’s just the tip of the iceberg for Green Day
I remember seeing this when it first came out... had a whole bunch of warnings before it started playing lol
Great song &, I love the Hieronymus Bosch imagery in the video.
Grunge was a, decidedly American, version of punk which broke in the mid 90s. 95 -96 was the most interesting time for American radio since 1983.
Their Unplugged cover of Bowie's the Man Who Sold the World is wonderful.
Sorry for a second post but I think you guys should do some full concert reactions. Some people have suggested Nirvana's MTV Unplugged session, which is what made me think of that. There are so many great concerts from all the great artists and it's such a different experience than single songs and can differ so much between concerts by the same band.
I've heard this song a ton of times and never saw the video. I never think you need to watch them to enjoy the songs.
The sound of the song is pretty incredible, that it hangs together despite how discordant and distorted it is. I don't have a lot of angst, so I can't get too deep into it - it doesn't resonate with my spirit - but sound-wise, I'd say it's one of the better Nirvana songs.
Nirvana Lounge Act is a must!
Your next from them has to be in bloom. One of my favorite videos of all time
I love how Amber closes her eyes and just vibes. That's so me
This song is so deep, I love it!
U should definitely listen to this again with lyrics. It helps with many Nirvana songs, especially this one.
Awesome!! Circle back to Supertramp? “School” has killer piano riff!!🤘🔥
