How Nirvana Became Nirvana
Комедия
This is Nirvana's origins. Before About a Girl, Bleach, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, Lithium, Something in the Way, Nevermind, Heart Shaped Box, or In Utero, they were just a band. Before that, Kurt Cobain was just a kid. Learn about his childhood, his early interests in the Beatles, heavy metal, and punk rock, and all the things that made Nirvana Nirvana.

I'm always amazed at how much footage there is of Nirvana especially Kurt even before fame- it seems his whole life was documented.

@Dazza768. I'm completely agree with you. As I mentioned earlier although Cobain never seemed to aspire to be the leader of any movement, his figure continues to arouse admiration and curiosity in equal measure. It's amazing with have so much about his life documented.

12:56 As a Croatian living in Canada this made me chuckle. Back in the day if you were the child of Balkan/Yugoslav parents and had any sort of issues, you weren’t getting a therapist, you were getting sent home.
The name of the band was very well chosen. contains the word freedom, freedom from suffering, from the pressure of society that makes you a slave. and Kurt said "punk is about freedom." Since Nirvana also means freedom... freedom from suffering and the outside world... it also seems to me a perfect definition of punk music.
Ah yes nirvana the weezer of the 90’s
I love how theres more info packed in a 20 minute marcbutevil video than multi hour documentaries
Dear Marc, I’m not sure if you’ll ever read this but I’ve been listening to nirvana and weezer for years thanks to my dad and honestly these videos are so well detailed and researched that its really high quality and comes from the heart. It’s funny most people don’t even know the other drummers of Nirvana apart from Dave and Chad, and It’s also worth mentioning Kurt was a Roadie for the Melvins while they toured, and I find it pretty cool since I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and until the late 80s we didn’t really have any cool music releasing in our scene or any major bands coming to tour and I think Nirvana really changed that. Anyways I’m rambling but overall this channel is super underrated so keep up the good content
Love how nirvana still is a theme of conversation, his life is something shouldn't and won't be forget
Just picked up MTV Unplugged today so this is perfect timing
Kurt was the best riff writer ever...Frances Farmers breakdown and pre chorus is something special and the distortion is magical!

Such a band that is still talked about today.Nirvana is really immortal.
“I though Nirvana was a clothing brand” is what my friend said with a Nirvana shirt on
Oh man, this video is fantastic As someone who read Come As You Are and Michael Azarad's Biography on Kurt Cobain, this is a great breakdown of the early stages of the band I may show this to people when I need them to know about the origins of Nirvana for whatever reason

The popularity of Nirvana with its mix of furious and melodic rock, is far from waning today. To date, the group has sold millions of albums worldwide, including its three studio albums and various anthologies and compilations and entered in 2014, with all the merits, in the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Filling out the Columbia House card was a right of passage back in the stone age. Paying them not so much.
Their daddies, " the Melvins" end of story.

I interviewed Aaron Burkhardt in my movie The River. He told the story of how Kurt wrote "Something In The Way" on the bank of the Wishka River, under a bridge. The killer part is, I tried out for his band too.thesame band he started in 1989 when he was kicked out of Nirvana.

Babe wake up new marcbutevil video
I visited aberdeen recently and saw his house. It’s honestly a depressing town. It was kinda mesmerizing but also dull, bleak and sad… I grew up in WA so it’s cool that they came from my state. It’s interesting listening to the music and being in the same environment
fatherlessness is the worst thing that can happen to a child outside of being molested
As someone who lives in Aberdeen, Kurt and krist describe it perfectly
if the next video will not be a dark side of Hurley video I'm pulling Kurt Cobain.

Kind of crazy both Kurt Cobain and Bryan Danielson both came from Aberdeen, Washington
I just moved to Olympia this year. First time driving through Aberdeen I fell in love. As a photographer, it’s all the grit and abandonment I need. Similar to Butte Montana in ways. I’m watching videos about Nirvana to get insight on the band and Aberdeen for a video I’m working on. That’s a long way to say, I really enjoy your work. You’ve gained a fan and new subscriber. One that knows how much work these videos take to make. Thank you for doing what you do.
I never really learned this much about Kurt. Just knew he was from Aberdeen. As someone from sw Washington, who spent time on the coast south of Aberdeen at my dads, he definitely sounds like a lot of kids I knew growing up.
nirvana became and then i came
banger video. you’re maybe my favorite content creator right now. so many times i click on video essays for the topic, but you’re honestly just funny as fuck and i’d watch most anything you’d put out. look forward to the next one B)
great video, very well made
If Kurt lived, would Nirvana's reputation and fan base be as confused as Weezer's? The answer to that is yes. A definite unqualified yes.
melvins army
Loved the video!❤🫂
Nirvana went around the world, I remember when Smells like teen spirit came out, the members of nirvana changed everything, the boys did not wear tight clothing, they dressed in jeans and t-shirts, like any teenager and they did not seem to be super rock stars . In addition to the music and looks, there was an anarchic attitude that was irresistible and enormously attractive. Nirvana forever!
a lot of people dont realize dave didnt come around until really late in the years. they went through drummers like dropping corpses during the plague. dave learned about the band through a tape that went through the underground in 89 and 90. that tape was the album bleach.
I learned a lot of new things about Nirvana in this video, and I’ve seen a lot of things (video essays, documentaries, etc.) on the band and really, enjoyed this. As corny and stereotypical it might sound as me being a big fan if Nirvana, some things you noted about Kurt I can really relate to. I won’t go into much detail, and I’ll leave it off by saying I really appreciate your videos. I haven’t seen much on Kurt’s upbringing. Keep it up MarcButNice 😼
Weezer had a lineup change? Sweet.
Hey, you probably won't read this, but I've been watching this channel for a few months and I just wanted you to know that you are very good at making videos. I love you videos, I hope you keep it up as long as it's something *you* love.
"Kurt's stuff" (like I warned him) Such a funny edit. Great video!
I grew up in Washington State. My Dad lived in Aberdeen for a very long time. I'm not going to pretend that I knew Kurt. I was 10 years younger than him. What I can tell you from experience is that Aberdeen is depressing. Aberdeen has a lot of old building's that look like they should fall apart at any moment. The sky is always grey and drugs are the primary past time for a lot of the citizens. Luckily I lived with my Mom most of the time and didn't have to spend every day there. I honestly wonder if Kurt would have been a happier person if he grew up somewhere else. IDK if that really matters but Aberdeen sure didn't help the guy.

6:08 kurt chose the guitar. shows a picture of him with a bass
The simba part got me on the ground
When I first heard Nirvana, it changed the way I heard music forever. I was born in 1995... just a short while after Kurt was gone, though my parents were fans so I grew up with Nirvana in the background sometimes, but my dad was more into heavy metal and my mom liked Sheryl Crow and the Cranberries, and especially the Beatles and the Grateful Dead. Of all places, I first *really* heard Nirvana on this music video clip show called "Pop-Up Video", on the VH1 channel I think. I was like 13 or 14, and I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit for the first time and watched that music video. It opened my mind to what music *could* be. I picked up the guitar because of Kurt, and I still play today, its my lifeline and my passion, and Kurt's playing just has something indescribable and raw that I chase with my playing endlessly. Nirvana was my gateway to incredible music and life experiences even. I found some of my favorite bands like Pixies, Iggy and the Stooges, the Germs, David Bowie, Black Flag, Melvins, Bikini Kill, Daniel Johnston, the Velvet Underground, and so many more. Kurt was my role model through high school, where I always struggled to fit in and be confident. Kurt's music just spoke to me personally. Kurt inspired some of my favorite current bands and countless honest punk bands that I saw in basement shows in college. He inspired or paved the way for bands like Weezer (I think they had a Nirvana cover band at one point?), Green Day, Wavves, Jay Reatard, Ty Segall, and so many more I can't even begin. Nirvana might not be my all time favorite band anymore, but they were my *first* all-time favorite band, and I'll never forget what Kurt did for my life, even if I was never on this Earth with him. They made me hear music as something more than just the backtrack to life, something important in itself.
I like that for once someone spends a good portion of time talking about Krist Noveselic's contributions to Nirvana as he and Kurt Cobain were the founders and both made massive contributions to the band rather than treating Nirvana as the Kurt Cobain show and Noveselic as an afterthought

Great video. I love Nirvana and especially the Nevermind album When Nevermind came out into the world, it was something spectacular. At that time, Guns N' Roses' Use Your Illusion I & II and Michael Jackson's Dangerous were trending, and Nevermind arrived to make it clear that music would never be the same again. Grunge left behind the outdated vision of overproduced rock, and taught everyone the importance of innovation, something that characterized the essence of Kurt Cobain
Nirvana forever. Good video, btw.
Amazing videos, love it so much
