That was a prank to MTV because Kurt wanted to play Rape me but MTV executives said no. So he only played the first riff of the song.

@@Abdulla7_no it’s about the media ! When he went from the under ground to mainstream, he thought that he was being raped for looking inside his life

I can see why Rape Me can be triggering but if it makes it any better Rape Me is an anti-rape song. Kurt was very passionate about women's issues and he was a feminist.

This performance is so iconic. It represents everything that was brilliant about Nirvana. Kurt giving the finger to MTV brass by starting with the first few bars of "Rape Me". Then Krist nearly knocking himself out cold with the bass toss at the end. Kurt messing up his own song by coming in late on the last verse... so brilliant.

Kurt’s been dead for thirty years and his music still sounds fresh to me.

The reason they started destroying their gear at the end was because they had been asking their record label for months for new equipment and they kept getting push back. They knew the big boss at the record label was going to be at this show and they new ne had the checkbook, so they did it to force him to buy them new gear. And the bass player would normally do a trick where he threw his bass like 10 feet in the air and catch it, but when he looked up, he was blinded by one of the lights and couldn't see it and it gave him a concussion, they went to find him after he ran off and they found him drinking champagne with Brian May from Queen.

@@tsg_frank5829 I'm just retelling what Dave Grohl said in an interview

Kurt Cobain was a fan of this outsider artist/ musician "Daniel Johnston" that i think you would find fascinating. Check out his song " Walking the Cow" and/or " Story of an Artist" A true genuine brilliant and vulnerable human being SOOOO much to dissect

I like what Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid told Rolling Stone magazine: "My favorite song on Nevermind was 'Lithium.' Kurt Cobain tapped into something in the culture that nobody had given a voice to before: passionate ambivalence: 'I'm so ugly, but that's OK 'cause so are you.' He captured the idea of having incredibly powerful feelings about not having feelings."

Kurt was authentic. He never compromised for anyone, and he laid bare his soul in his songs and his stage performances like few other rock stars ever did. He resonates so much with people because he was a complete iconoclast in a profession rampant with greed, imitation and conformity. He stood apart from that and that is why people love whim so much to this day.

WOW!!!!😮😮😮😮 It's almost as if their drummer looks like the lead singer from Foo Fighters!!! 😮😮😮😮😮 ☺️☺️☺️😉😉😉

An old friend of mine who used worked for Marshall at the time (a guitar amp company) and was working that show. They had provided amps that night, and he was backstage watching the show. He was in charge of over seeing their amps. When Curt started destroying the amp he began freaking out. Someone from MTV grabbed him and told him that there was nothing he could do and just smiled at him. he said that that just amp sat around broken at Marshall after that. Don’t know what ultimately became of it.

"A generation of youth were looking for something new, and this little trio from the pacific northwest seemingly came out of nowhere and an entire generation rose up and hailed nirvana as being the real, raw thing, an anointed the bands frontman kurt cobain their musical Messiah. But kurt never asked to be the king, and the head that wore that crown would never rest easy." -MTV GRUNGE SPECIAL

Kurt’s death was the first celebrity death that had a real impact on me. I heard about it on the radio and left work. MTV News, Kurt Loder gave it full & great coverage. Ironic with the riff between the band and MTV. More than 30 years now. RIP Kurt.

Also worth mentioning that Lithium is a common treatment for bipolar disorder.

Krist got a gash on his head and was a bit dazed, but he recovered fine.

The bassist threw his bass into the air and knocked himself out. No permanent injury though.

Amanda. Thank you for this reaction. Kurt Cobain was a tortured genius, whose artistic vision spearheaded a complete paradigm shift in Rock music in the early 1990s. If you are truly interested in analyzing Nirvana music from a mental health standpoint, then I strongly recommend the song “You know you’re right.” Released years after either his suicide or demise, (depending who you ask) this was the very last song Kurt Cobain ever recorded. It may well be his most introspective song as well. Written as his marriage to Courtney Love was falling apart.

He was a genius, and he was always in pain due to a chronic illness he suffered from, which he self medicated with hard drugs, cocaine, heroin and whatnot. But he is often misrepresented as this tragic, insightful and sorrowful character, which couldn't be farther from the truth. Kurt Cobain was GOOFY as hell! He was funny, irreverent, he pulled pranks, he had an almost child-like demeanor, as per the people who spent a lot of time around him. He had a beautiful soul and the world is a lesser place since he passed.

Nirvana's one of my favorite bands, especially the MTV Unplugged in New York album. I've probably played that more than any other album. Kurt Cobain was definitely one of those poetic style singers.

Hey Amanda... how is it going. Always happy to see new reactions. Love that someone has similar experience and tastes as me. Keep up the amazing work.

Nirvana....forever ❤. I was 16, Kurt killed himself and I remember the day very clear. Till this day I wasnt really into Nirvana. I was at school and after last lesson, on the ground of our schoolyard someone droped hundreds of little chits of paper with the letters "Kurt Cobain is dead".

That's what I waited for.. explanation of Nirvana and Kurtz... great job.

Love you haven't heard this...for many of us in the 90s this was synonymous with the first half of that decade...song was everywhere :)

Best reaction I've seen to this, nice one! X

Listen to all apologies that's the greatest song with a more polished performance on MTV unplugged, it's a perfect song about kurts yearning to feel peace

So many stories behind this performance.

This is my 3rd favorite Nirvana song. In this order Smells like teen spirit About a girl Lithium

Even though I could, well maybe, look up the meaning of this song, I choose not to, as I find it far more fascinating not knowing what it's about. The 2-chord back and forth guitar part during "I'm not gonna crack" is oddly hypnotic to me, and simultaneously bizarre given the lyrical content going on. As for the performance, Kurt slightly deviates some of the lyrics in the live version from the studio version. Why he did this, I can't really say. Boredom? His sense of humor? Could have been both. The older I get, the more strange it gets seeing a young Dave Grohl of what's now known as the Foo Fighters on the drums back in those days. This man is one of the hardest hitters in the history of heavy hitters. Krist Novoselic (the bassist) I'm sure wasn't planning on injuring himself; he was sidelined for a lil bit, but was fine all in all. He spoke about it in an interview a few times. I'm curious though; could it be possible that Kurt wrote these lyrics from a third-person perspective?

Awesome reaction and commentary!!!1

In my head, heart and soul, Nirvana and Pearl Jam was, and still is, most influential bands on my young age. I am from Serbia 🇷🇸, 49 young 😊,and i love your reaction!❤ My suggestion is: Pearl Jam...Dark Matter...

I like your shirt ❤

Some Pearl Jam songs to maybe look into; "Indifference", "Release" and "Immortality".

We all miss Kurt!!! The last great Rockstar!!!

I've tried suicide about a dozen times. I don't consider myself a survivor. More like a failure.

PLEASE DO MORE NIRVANA!!!!!❤❤❤ Most people I see react to Kurt Cobain and Nirvana have this stigma around them that you don't have. One song I'd recommend is All Apologies. It's one of my favs. Or You Know You're Right, which was the last song Kurt recorded.

Dave grohl of the Foo Fighters was the drummer

Lounge Act, Drain You, Stay Away, Breed are some really good Nirvana songs.

Awesome video.

School wasn't canceled for us. But they did make an announcement over the loudspeaker (high school) that anyone affected could see the school guidance councilor/therapist-person. It was such a big deal that even the grownups knew it. It was basically explained that this generations John Lennon had just died, and that clued the faculty in to just how impactful this death was to a LOT of kids.

The shaved head line was not the original line, he adlibbed it in.

You know he changed some of the lyrics in this performance

When do you hear Mother Mother?

Quick question, do you have the lyrics on hand as you're watching? I ask cause I'm terrible at picking up lyrics the first time I hear a song, it's not where my brain focuses

RIP Kurt Cobain. This is one of my favorite songs by nirvana. You should check out smells like teen spirit and come as you are next! ❤ thanks for your videos and all you do 😊

"Rather dead than be cool"

Great reaction! I don't know if this is the place to suggest another song to react to, but I would love to hear what you would have to say about another song by The Who, titled "Behind Blue Eyes." It is very much on topic for your channel, I think.

❤❤

The words were slightly changed.

Ai mori and Violet Orlandi have a cover of R*pe Me that is as brill9ant as it is disturbing....they take the meaning of the song and amp it up to infinity!!!!!!

My channel is here to break the stigma of mental health. I use music videos suggested by subscribers to start discussions. That includes analyzing.

I remember the rock station back home playing a parody of Eric Clapton's Cocaine, with Cobain replacing cocaine. The song was about Kurt offing himself. It was very dark considering. That was on the East Coast, and most of us didn't like grunge. I still don't, with the exception of Alice in Chains. I saw AIC open for Ozzy in 1990 or 91. Layne had his entire leg in a cast and was rolling around in a wheelchair singing. I was impressed. I'll listen to Nirvana on the radio, but to this day, I change the station or turn off the radio completely when Pearl Jam is played.

Never listened to Nirvana!? You lost me

Oh. My. God. You are missing the forest for the trees. Have you never had fun? Have you never gone to a party? Anayzing these lyrics for the sort of poetic sense you're looking for completely destroys every fibre of the quilt Kurt is building. You have managed to take a joke, explain it to the audience piece by piece, and completely missed the fact that you've destroyed the magic. Worst KZread Reaction Ever.
