This is a fun song to play

Frusciante never said his music was "awful". Why are so many people not hearing him properly in that interview. He said "I cried, I dont know why, I didnt like his music or anything....But it's awful, about his little girl and all...I dont wanna talk about it" He uses the word awful to describe the suicide and the aftermath/frances

If you look at the chords he begins to play (I play guitar) it's even in his youth, you can even just tell from the sound and rythm. Plus, opinion was not played often apart from radio shows, whereas even in his youth can be found on incestacide for example and was played more often

After paying more attention I agree that he started with Even in his youth, although at first it sounded like Opinion to me.

this cover is simply perfect. .. he did it at his own way, at Jhon's style. he isnt trying to imitate Kurt it s just a cover and is great. Long life to Nirvana and JF! !

Kurt would have loved this. John is another great. Thank God he's still here making music.

John gets it. Picking that song shows it.

Pardon me for stating the obvious but, John is friggin AWESOME!

I saw the name and the song in the same sentence and I clicked the thumbs up faster than he swapped guitars. And I don’t regret a thing.

Wow!! ..beautiful, Kurt wiould be so proud !

Easily the best acoustic version of that song I’ve heard

ive loved every single thing about that song since the first time i heard it, the hook, the groove, the lyrics, the vibe, everything! Kurt captured and summed it all up in such a way. it was everything up to that point in time. nevermind album art reference "👌"

This is one of the best videos ever!!

The songwriting of Kurt Cobain was so incredible.

Damn my favorite guitarist from the 90s playing my favorite Nirvana song

This is great.

great cover!

Miss you Kurt...

What I love about John is it took him a long time to appreciate Kurts strengths. When John (per VPRO documentary) was in a worse place he didnt appreciate his music but was right about Kurdts death! Rock on John you funky ataxia monk swinging on the mars volta
