I know Dave Grohl took Nirvana to newer heights but what Chad Channing did on Bleach was genius, Bleach would not be the masterpiece it is if anyone else played drums on that record. Everybody give Chad mad props.
I love his raw and well in a way "Sucky" Drum playing cx You can really feel the rawness that came from bleach followed by the well i guess overproducing of nevermind and a nice mix and both in In Utero c: I like it.
in utero is the testament to ultimate drumming and no fear from kurt to displease people. It is the real punk. nobody will ever replace chad on bleach. who would want to? but I can see basically all sides of everything involved in the sound and most of all I can see why chads drumming wouldn't have4 worked on nevermind. kurt secretly wanted to please the world and win everyone over. its obvious he played cat n mouse with the production but I can tell he was satisfied with the sound far more than bleach. The best part was when he took that sound and duplicated it and added the overall layer of sound that would equal burnt hair and made in utero though.. one of my favorite things about kurt that I find similar to some people including myself is becoming bored with formulas and the necessity of change and evolution to happen faster. I could probably say that 11% of the nirvana anger is due to lack of evolution in sound during their stay and not feel like im full of myself.. hahaha this post...
***** Radiohead? The only thing they were known for in 93' was "Creep" and it was Thom Yorke with his dyed blonde hair who was aping Kurt Cobain. Radiohead were never an influence on Kurt Cobain in any way at all.
jimmyfabs78 I agree with you , Chad has contributed to the expansions of the band and he laid the rhythmic foundation battery parts for many songs Nervermind album, Dave Grolh has simply improved following the songs with his own way of playing the drums ! but it should be noted that this demo of "drain you" is played by Dale Crover on drums.
My favorite song on Nevermind (With every other song being a close second) and probably my favorite song to play on guitar, other than Breed, In Bloom, and others.
The Beatles influence in this song is just right in your face. It was pretty obvious on the Nevermind version too, but it's even stronger on this version.
Every one is entitled to their opinion us is just wrong...but that's alright ur entitled to be wrong gus.... and for the record Bleach was Nirvanas best album
+Medium Same thank you... are you english by any chance?... because I seem to be the only one in the nation that doesnt like their music (wonderwall was alright but everything is bland and the same old formula) but then again, I don't trust my country in elections, decision making let alone music choices :)
@@Leeman69420 lol, it seems you don't know a shit about beatles xd. Try to listen their albums instead of drop bullshit. Beatles are the best band ever period.
Kurt actually liked Chad. They stayed friends after Chad left the band. The reason he left is because he couldn't keep up with the band progress and direction that Kurt wanted put the band into.
WRONG. Dave Grohl explicitly said the only reason why Chad left the band was because he asked if they could play his songs and they started shunning him for it. The only Dave Grohl song they ever used was Marigold, and they only used that for a b-side because they didn't have any other suitable material at the time. Dave said the worst thing a drummer could say is "Why don't we play any of my songs," and he learned it because of what happened to Chad. It had nothing to do with "keeping up" with Kurt and Krist; most of the drumlines you hear on Nevermind are Chad's drumlines that Dave heard on the demos and kept in the songs, note for note.
@@madhatter8508 this song was played by Dave. This demo is Dave playing. Most of the songs on nevermind weren't even demoed with Chad. Where did you pull your information from?
_Freaking_Frantica _ If i'm not mistaken,it was Dale Crover that came up with the drum beat for "Drain you". This demo version is with Dale on drums and Dave on the bass
I like how he was considered the voice of a generation but when he was in school he was an outcast and couldn't relate to the majority of his class mates.
+John Hawthorn He was the voice of a generation of extravagant alienation, heartfelt pondering of the future in advances in technology, and untimely dilapidation; today's youth and elders and the general mainstream public doesn't understand music as it purely is, talented waves of melodic melodies through instrumental or vocal precision in a flowing and rehearsed fashion of unique passion.
chad remained a freind, he was probably among the most deppresed at kurts funeral, he didnt even talk to anyone, he payed his respects to an old freind
Eh... a great song and not redundant, but I don't think it's terribly accurate to say it's among the "most unique songs melodically" relative to the rest of Nirvana's catalogue. Songs like Aero Zeppelin, Hairspray Queen, or Floyd the Barber are a lot more unique IMO
There is something really special about Nirvana demos. Most of the them have alot of character and the tape hiss and low-fi quality give them an edge. Same goes with the audience recorded live shows. Really paints a picture of the show in my head when i listen to them. .
it's also because they practiced many hours a day, 5-6 days a week and jammed building on kurt's melody/riffs/rough song to create their songs. By the time they were recording demos even if it was them recording at their band's practice spot...they as a band could perform the songs in their sleep and all those hours practicing meant they where tight and in nysnc...a lot of bands while they know how to play the songs for the demos, they aren't as familiar and tight as nirvana was for their demos. Also, Nirvana was a broke Seattle alternative rock band trying to get a major label to buy out their contract, so they had to be able to perform their songs basically perfect because the opportunities and chances someone important would hear their recordings was slim and if they got time to record a demo in a studio...it would be really short so they didn't have time to do a ton of takes or work things out.
@@1leisure1 @@1leisure1 yeah, i think he actually goes through the song in a documentary or something. i am guessing different takes were used or something. im guessing youre implying that butch vig came up with the idea to do it quiet and loud
I wish they would've kept that solo! I especially like the climbing part of it around 2:15. I think it would've fit in awesomely right after the breakdown-buildup-scream part when they go back really hard into the main hook/verse chords
This is and has always been my favorate song in the world. I'm trippin on lsd tonight and my girl just passed out so I got nothing better to do here but go through my own thoughts and listen to music till the morning. I just wanted to say I can't fuckin stand people who just come here to hate. If you don't fuckin like his music, then don't come here! One issue I have with Kurt is not his music, but why the hell he had to go and kill himself when he had a child.
For some reason, listening to the demo and playing this song makes me feel relaxed, without problems for a little while, then I come back to real world, which actually sucks. Help.
i saw your comment and i thought it was mine because of your pfp, and i was scared a little bit because your comment is 1 year old and i met Nirvana in the middle of this year
fellas, ive gone too deep in the nirvana rabbit hole edit, i'm rewatching this, again, i love this, its like this chorusy double tracked vocals, i love this demo!
when i first listened to this, i just thought "the beatles?". i wanna like this one better than the final version, but the final version sounds very well done and kicks ass
I wish they kept the solo it worked so well with the song or at least have the solo play right after the climax of the build up part that you hear in the final cut of drain you
This is a very good version of Drain You. I like it more than the studio version and comparing it with the French TV version it is a different song entirely.
I see there is a lot of comments on Chad Channing is this thread,,,,,Dale Crover is playing the drums on this track. Grohl is on bass and Cobain guitar and vocal
I don't know I like the studio version too. Sure it's overdubbed like hell, but when you get a track played by Cobain over 5 times you know it's gonna be golden. Also the studio version seems to be down tuned which offers a great contrast in sound through out the album. Thanks for postin dis version too, I've never heard the demo before. Wish they coulda kept tha solo.
He never knew how much someday, somebody, can miss him. It's so sad because people starts to really miss only after the dead. Say "love you" and "i need you" while you can do it. Don't wait. :Love you all. Really.
What I mean with copying the voice vocals to make a solo is exactly what it is. When you have a melody your singing and the 3rd or so verse comes instead of singing you can create a solo to match its tone and melody. That helps a song really sink in.. kurt was great at developing that.. the other type of solo is the skitzofrantic.. its melody is like your mother yelling at you after you say something. kurt was also good at that ;)
Hmm maybe but you can't deny that both Krist and Kurt admitted to not being pleased with Chad's ability as a drummer. Even when Kurt went to that Scream show with Krist they agreed that it would be amazing to have a drummer like Dave not thinking twice about possibly replacing Chad.
I wish Kurt was still here but he’s gone he did so good with his music- we miss you kurt I don’t have many friends in school I feel like he felt, he was friends with mostly the girls, I’m friends with most of the boys
THIS IS THE SONG FROM THE *WITH THE LIGHTS OUT BOX-SET JUST WITH A ADDED INTRO* BUT I AGREE WITH ANOTHER COMMENT, THIS IS MY FAV. VERS. 👍👍👍👍👍 MY FAV. GROUP!!.. *I'M GONNA LIKE NIRVANA UNTIL THE DAY I DIE* 👍👍👍👍
Kurt was a huge Beatles fan! Specifically a John Lennon fan, which was kind of odd at the time because every other punk band was trying to revolt against the Beatles and their legacy. Anyway, just listen to "About a Girl" and tell me it doesn't sound like the Beatles. That's what he was going for.

i wonder how they came up with the nevermind version
@@guitarplayer30001 Butch Vig produced it.
@@1leisure1 @@1leisure1 yeah, i think he actually goes through the song in a documentary or something. i am guessing different takes were used or something. im guessing youre implying that butch vig came up with the idea to do it quiet and loud
Kurtd voice in this one scratches my head in a spot that no one can reach.
damnnnn even nirvana's demos are amazing. hard to find that these days
no they aren't. They're fucking everywhere
sSoul_17 pretty sure he meant it's hard to find bands with good demos, not that nirvana's demos are heard to find lol
oh..lol. That would make more sense
Slugbug's demos are GREAT (he has some on his Soundcloud)
big ups
This is one of those songs that give me flashbacks.
I feel you, i have flashbacks whenever I listen to this song, too.
Drain You was an best songs that marked an generation. No doubt Kurt was a genius, your lyrics will live forever at history of rock.
You can hear the unpolished beauty in this version. Butch Vig turned this song into a majestic anthem in the never mind collection.
My favorite version:)

That solo instead of the build up is so good🤣
Oooh I LOVE love love love this!!!!!! This is a favorite of mine..and this version rocks!! And that voice echoes is great
The vocal run at 1:23 really reminds of Help! By the Beatles… it’s super cool 👍
Chad Channing was the drummer of Nirvana from 1988 to 1990,2 years,2 great years of drumming,Chad is one of my favorite drummers,very good
This is Dale Crover
Chad Channing is not playing here
This was always my favorite version, I have the "With the Lights Out" box set and this was on it
2:12 that is by far my most favorite part
Ahhhhh, nobody can strangle a guitar so beautifully like Kurt. His guitar playing is so, him.
Again I'm pursuing Nirvana... Will I ever grow up...
ZoeDoesntCareForMe have you grew up after 5 years ?
Yeah, now it's been six
Man I’ve been down this rabbit hole so many times lol

Ricardo DSR that isn’t chad

AyeMod2k you obviously are blind because that is chad
I think its Dale Crover from the melvins in this demo
According to the WTLO box set that’s Dale on drums and Dave on bass and backing vocals.
Love the Solo. With the bass going off in the background!
Agreed. It's beautiful
I think Kurt should have kept the solo instead of a break, thankfully he lately added that scream in live recordings to rebuild the momentum.
the scream is in the studio version too
