Kurt would have LOVED this!!!!! He probably would have freaked out that she covered one of his songs! What a shame he wasn't around to see it. :( :( :(
You couldn't have said it better, dude. Nirvana was probably the last huge band that had that poetic essence, in their lyrics, in their sound and in the message they were trying to spread.
jcmmanuel everyone can make a cover. who gives a fuck? i dont. it is funny that you said patti is rebel enough but everyone else has to follow the rules. do you even know what punk means? now i think moby should cover or how about lil wayne
Everyone is saying this blows, yet Kurt would have loved this and would have been so humbled as to have someone of Patti's stature cover one of his songs.
She's also fantastic as she covers "Smells like teen spirit" because she 's got the same energy as she's a young punk rock, though it's played accoustic.
I actually really like this. She brings a unique twist to it while still being respectful to the original. Her voice doesn't sound perfect, but she has depth and soul, and she doesn't turn the song into something it isn't and would never be. I get it guys, I'm a huge Nirvana fan too, but we have to accept that people are going to cover their songs. We don't own them.
Nirvana and Patti. We humans aren't worthy of the work of gods; but we must try. Anyone who thinks this anything but a loving tribute and a reverential take of HSB really needs to get out more.
I love Patti. She is one of a handful of people that can rock as well as Joan Jett. Carrying on the flag hoisted by Janis. WOMEN OUT ROCK MEN EVERY TIME.
Thanks for posting, I was at this show, it was the opening of the EMP museum in Seattle.Pati also did About a Boy, which was about Kurt, and she got super emotional and said something about the boy blowing his brains out. I mean her face was all red and she was crying.
Interesting. We forget that other famous musicians can be equally fangirls too. Patti does Smells at a Russian festival that's the best cover I've heard. She is obviously deeply moved by Kurt Cobain, and the intensity that she screams out about Kurt's pain in Russia just blew my socks off. :>)
to me, this is one of the most beautiful things on earth. does anyone know who the young guitarist is? i was thinking her son jackson, but he looks so different now that i just don't know.
+Shawn Whitrow Worst cover? Nirvana is cover, Patty is original. Not to mention that Kurt admired her. Learn what a talent is and learn to recognize it. Patty Smith is almost 69 years old and she still keeps singing and doing it awesome.
+KrashOPS Kurt Cobain was an artist. He wrote this song and countless others that have stood the test of time for over 20 years. Patti Smith is an old hippy who is only semi-famous for being a hippy. This "cover" is awful. Kurt will always be remembered as an innovative genius. Patty Smith, not so much. It's by far the worst Nirvana cover of all time. And I've played in a Nirvana cover band so I know terrible.
+Shawn Whitrow Patti Smith, an old hippie? LOL ... Yeah, not so much. She's been really important for pushing the lyrical edges of rock 'n' roll, and Cobain would probably want to dope-slap you for not knowing better. I don't find this a musically awesome cover ... Out of Patti Smith's long history of covers, "Gloria" is the only one I think beats the original. However - she's awesome for trying other songs on and consistently doing them in a more interesting way than your garden-variety Nirvana cover band would. ;)
+Matthew Rothenberg she's a nobody, and has the vocal range of a volkswagon. This is not "artsy or creative interpretation" it's a horrible attempt to cover one of the most influential musicians of our time. What exactly is "garden variety Nirvana?" Are you referring to actual music done by the actual original artist? I've heard 1000s of Nirvana covers and this is by far the worst.
+Shawn Whitrow Not "garden-variety Nirvana." Nirvana was a great band, in large part because they drew creatively and originally from earlier influences. The full phrase was "garden-variety Nirvana cover band": I have friends who imitate other groups either for fun or money, so there's nothing wrong with it. However ... Getting as close as possible to the original is a nifty show of technique but not of taste or creativity. Like I say, I would have to have been there to ... kind of ... get into this cover. And I'm sure that if your Nirvana cover band is good, I'd enjoy it live. But what she does is a lot more interesting to me than what a cover band does ... And a lot of her catalog is great. (Trained vocal technique is not what it's all about.)
The godmother of punk covering one of Nirvana's greatest songs!
Kurt would have LOVED this!!!!! He probably would have freaked out that she covered one of his songs! What a shame he wasn't around to see it. :( :( :(
He was there! He smiled down at her!:D He's always there
her smells like teen spirit cover is incredible.
Eek a Mouse truth.
She even wrote a song about him
Eso no deberias darlo por sentado
Every thing she does is so very respectable. She knows. She always has.
Patti could sing the phonebook and own it. Great version of an iconic rock song.
Lmao thanks
She's always been beautiful inside and out
Best comment ever!
Patti Smith at least has the kind of poetic & rebel mind which makes her fit for the job of making a Nirvana cover. I love this one.
You couldn't have said it better, dude. Nirvana was probably the last huge band that had that poetic essence, in their lyrics, in their sound and in the message they were trying to spread.
+12truk Courtney Love says this is a song about a. her vagina and b. her relationship
She kept their dope in her hart shaped box...CL....
jcmmanuel everyone can make a cover. who gives a fuck? i dont. it is funny that you said patti is rebel enough but everyone else has to follow the rules. do you even know what punk means? now i think moby should cover or how about lil wayne
Yeah.. LUV it. She does Teen Spirit great as well..!
Everyone is saying this blows, yet Kurt would have loved this and would have been so humbled as to have someone of Patti's stature cover one of his songs.
TBH, I don't care what Kurt thinks of this, It blows.
@@markadairofficial rather boring, I kept waiting for it to pick up, finally I jumped ahead to see but nope, never did.
It’s garbage ass cover. I doubt if Kurt would even care
She never ceases to amaze...love this woman...just brilliant
Her voice covering this song, that's a hard gig to pill off so well. Its original & respectful.
She's also fantastic as she covers "Smells like teen spirit" because she 's got the same energy as she's a young punk rock, though it's played accoustic.
Yeah there’s nothing punk rock about it.
@@swordofgod2835 right, it's like the emperor's new clothes or something; what the hell is so wild about her other than hairy pits?
Kurt was a big Patti Smith fan. Too bad he didn’t live to see this gig!
This is soooooo punk! Amazing! Cobain would be thrilled
I actually really like this. She brings a unique twist to it while still being respectful to the original. Her voice doesn't sound perfect, but she has depth and soul, and she doesn't turn the song into something it isn't and would never be. I get it guys, I'm a huge Nirvana fan too, but we have to accept that people are going to cover their songs. We don't own them.
+Jillian Allen I am sure Kurt would be honored. Patti has been such an inspiration to many fine artists. I think that she was saddened by his passing.
Incredible. She really capture the vibe and did an amazing version.
so goooooooooood! She has a perfect voice for this song
Nirvana and Patti. We humans aren't worthy of the work of gods; but we must try.
Anyone who thinks this anything but a loving tribute and a reverential take of HSB really needs to get out more.
Thank You Patti Smith, you make my life better, my artistic dreams are full filled with your existence. Thank You!
God, she is so awesome. Been listening to her since Horses came out.
She kept it cryptic and dark...no "Hey...Wait" explosiveness. I dig it.
Kurt would be proud
She’s such an ace interpreter
She really likes Nirvana.
Pattiness !!! HER version...
I love it!
Patti Smith...genuine
One of the best voices in Rock, if not the best with Iggy Pop !
Would have been cool to see her and Kurt sing together...especially like she covers it
Fuck this is incredible a real cool cover
Awesome Performance!!
This is so cool because you can be damn sure she inspired Kurt.
went to the horses tour show tonite in Cleveland....I am floating so high
I love her so fucking much!!!!
One word: legendary.
I love Patti. She is one of a handful of people that can rock as well as Joan Jett. Carrying on the flag hoisted by Janis. WOMEN OUT ROCK MEN EVERY TIME.
Riffs don't care about what's between your legs
@@KimInChains what riffs?
There’s like 10 other female artists carrying the actual flag and none are pattie smith. She isn’t even in the same pantheon as Joan Jett or Janis
The people you mentioned are actually real singers
Patti. So beautiful.
Fabulous. Gorgeously morbid.
Perfect description!
Patti is the most beautiful of the humans.
You must be blind

Carvin Manhasset

Carvin Manhasset too bad she didn't realize that he didn't kill himself, but was murdered!!!
Was gonna say the same thing

+valerie lonn p.s. does it smell like teen spirit?
+valerie lonn and yes I am a huge Courtney Love fan. Always liked Pati Smith, but this cover does not a thing for me.

This is awful
Lemon Ye11ow Why, exactly?

@@hunter6953 it’s horrible
Wow that is the worst cover of all time. In what world did something think that was a good idea?
