@@luismaldonado4989 Dude, there's no reason to act like that. I'm certainly not into the new feminism crap that is being shoved down people's throats, and she also mentioned civil rights, but the 90s were a different time and equality wasn't what it is even today. This was the time of the Rodney King business as well, so even though there's obviously problems today, things have gotten generally better, current regional problems notwithstanding. Today, most folks needs to shut up and take the opportunities given to them. Besides, who cares what left wing nonsense he got behind? He was from Seattle. What do you expect? He was also a guy that cared, probably too much for his own good. None of that was the point anyway. Everyone that knew him said he was a good guy. He was also young and most of us were far more idealistic at that age. If he hadn't been murdered, there's no telling who he could have turned into. I'm certainly not the same person I was at his age. In short, I can't see what you hoped to gain by saying what you did. It was heartless, off topic, and needlessly disrespectful. At any rate, I hope you have a good day.

I'm so jealous! I was in 8th grade when he died and I still remember the moment I heard the news on the radio. We were so lucky to have grown up when we did. Music in the early 90's was so real and raw. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, I could go on and on. They influenced my taste in music that was just developing in those early teen years and I'm so glad they were around. So many of them drew inspiration from the best of rock, blues, punk and folk music. Bands played instruments, singers sang, no autotune, no overly polished, overly produced, overly hyped, choreographed nonsense. Then came Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls and it was over.

There's that obvious moment when this song shifts up about 10 gears. Scream-singing an octave higher than where he started. But notice how the whole song is tamed down a notch JUST BEFORE that moment. I see that as an example of true artistry...a true artist can set the tone, set the mood, and get you to follow where he (or she) is taking you. In this song, you set a mood, you quiet it down so that it's almost invisible, and then you deliver a punch to the gut. It's like a magician who knows how to misdirect before astonishing you with the big reveal. And even though I know it's coming, for me it works every time. From Beethoven to The Beatles to Prince, you find artists who know how to pull this off.

Whether he killed himself or not one thing is clear, Kurt (at a very young age considering,) saw, knew and felt the cold, hard, pitiful hypocritical and (for lack of a better term) satanic truth about the "world", his "place" in it, and the futility of his or anyone else's efforts to be anything but part of the problem, and he, like practically everyone else who did, struggled like crazy to f'kn handle it. I have simply glimpsed at interval moments what he had freight training through his psyche every moment of his life since atleast his mid teens. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. It was a huge part of his genius, his achievements, all his faults and addictions, and his death. If he did kill himself if wasn't because he was weak, it was because he ran out of the Herculean strength he had to keep generating to live and achieve what he did up until that point.

You got it spot on man! It was a 10! His voice was able to invoke a set of emotions inside of you that ranged from complete vulnerability to absolute rage! He took us to places in our heads and our hearts that are often felt, but seldom spoken. There was never anyone else like him before, nor will there ever be anyone like him again. RIP Kurt. Gone but NEVER FORGOTTEN

Bro, your expression during the last 2/3rds of that song was amazing and was how it should be! Incredible performance.

Versions of this song go back to the 1870’s but it was made famous by a blues artist called Leadbelly when he recorded it in the 1940’s. It’s about a man who’s wife is cheating on him.

Your reaction for Kurt's grungy screams is what we needed!! Thank you!!🖤🤍🖤

True Story!!! The original of this, done by Lead Belly (in 1944), was one of my grandmother's favorite songs. She knew it when she was a kid (it had been a mountain song since AT LEAST 1853), growing up in a POOR ass Kentucky mining Hollow (they LITERALLY had 3 pairs of shoes for 6 kids) and loved it as a child hearing it on porches and shit. Before she died, I got to play this for her, and she was like "THAT is how someone should feel when sing this"... and I KNEW that she meant that sorta desperate screaming that Kurt does at the end. And THAT is when I learned that the song, for better or worse, is about a man that sees his love getting ready to leave the little world that they have for a bigger world, and realizing that he can never leave. And THAT is when I realized that it reminded her of how her father reacted when she left the Hollow for the rest of the world, and he was stuck in the mines until he died of Black Lung. And THAT is how fucking deep this song really is, man!!! "My girl" isn't a girlfriend... its a daughter! 😳

Kurt was such a nice man. A chill guy. A very humble guy. X3 He just didn't like paparazzi, or media because the media back then kept hitting his personal life like abysmally so.

He didn’t write this song, it’s a folk song in the south, look up “lead belly”… but he was born to sing this song, the emotion in his voice and the fact that he died very shortly after this proves how powerful music and words can be

Seen this performance a hundred times. Still get goosebumps from Kurts vocals. When he looks up and takes that breathe at the end.

If you think about the context of this song, and the emotions that are outlaid, its no surprise that the vocal tones changed. Just like emotions, sometimes we are numb to the pain around us, then all of a sudden we come to a breaking point. When Kurt transitioned from that acoustic, mellow, and haunting tone...and into the angry, hurt screams...genius.

The humble act of stopping to sign autographs just moments after delivering a performance of THAT caliber, speaks volumes about the man's character & his right-sizedness in relation to the bigger picture. What a devastating loss to my generation. He gave voice to what we felt in our hearts, & kept our feet on terra firma. He captured the spirit of all of us who grew up during that time with his unique blend of anger & pain & disregard for the rules & authority, a yearning for something different. More than anything else, he taught us that the finish line is a myth, that once we reached our goals, we'd find the result to be quite different than we'd expected when we set out in pursuit of them, that we would spend our whole lives chasing after things we thought we wanted, but once we had them, quickly realize nothing is ever anything like the brochure. He taught us to embrace the journey as it's own reward because nothing greater than simply experiencing it all is forthcoming. Like beautiful iridescent bubbles floating in the air, drifting ever downwards, if we reached out hoping to catch one, it would burst the moment we touched it, such is life, our hopes & dreams. He taught us how beautiful & fragile life really was. And just like that, our voice went silent. He was gone. This is inarguably one of his best performances. From the monotonous rhythmic drone that hypnotizes & draws you in, to the unexpected burst of emotion, the urgent demand for answers, that climactic scream & the pause, that breath as he opens his eyes & looks directly into your soul & realizes that the answer won't change what's been done, before delivering the rest of the last line of the song, pained & drained by the futility of all he's poured into it. Then he stops to sign autographs, like he didn't just do that, like he understood that he never would have had access to such a forum for his art were it not for the fans, & the least he could do out of gratitude was to stop to sign a few autographs, that he owed more to us than we owed to him. He was an amazing soul. He understood far more than most ever will. He felt everything. Perhaps too much.

This is a folk song, which is a poem of something that happened, it's origins go way back. And when you think of the context and that the song actually might have truth gives you shivers

I loved this. I’m 43 years old and was very involved in the punk scene back in the early to mid 90s as a teenager. Your reaction was priceless and authentic. It definitely made me smile. Kurt had a way of showing the human spirit - the sorrow and despair- through his voice that I’ve never seen duplicated. When I was a kid I used to hate on Nirvana because they were “mainstream.” That was a stupid take. I look back and smile when I see these videos of people being affected by the power in his voice today. Love the video. Peace.

Teen Spirit was the first (of the major label videos) and then you did Come As You Are. Lithium should be next. Then In Bloom. Maybe the studio versions of Dive and Aneurysm off the Incesticide album. Then the videos for the In Utero album.

@@wewantamar And you can barely hear it, he says , "shiver for me". God. Like a knife in the heart. That gutteral scream too at the end, you can feel that. By the way , I think the guy doing this video didn't catch it at the beginning of the song, he didn't write it, it's a cover of an old blues song by Leadbelly, it was his guitar he's talking about wanting to buy. Yeah, this song really grips you, like the way he sang it was like revenge , to put some fear into someone who cheated. I admit, when i was young and naive I cheated on someone i really loved, and it tore his heart out, and I heard this song about that time and it was like, yeah, she had that comin' to her , a musical slap in the face or punch to the gut. Powerful.

He should actually do the live version of Aneurysm. Live at the Paramount. I'd actually skip come as you are. I grew up to Nirvana in the 90s. Were always my favorite band and still are, all grown up. Kurt got me into playing the guitar as a teen. I think Kurt had an ear for melody and ability to write only a few people in history ever had. Lennon and Elliot Smith are the others imo. And I've only said all that because Come as You are has always been overrated and honestly just not one if Kurts best imo. Do heart shaped box over that if you're going with more known songs

Great review man you nailed it. I dunno how you figured all that out so fast.. your vary bright.

That’s how a GENIIUS SCREAMIN AT us.... speechless smell teen spirit!!

The emotion in that song is off the scale!! Can’t hear it without welling up, especially on the pause before the very last scream. Check out a band called Muse (Knights of Cydonia, Madness, Dig down)

"Fuck you all, this is the last song of the evening." - Kurt Cobain He was one of the great ones.

lmaoo he was only joking when he said what he said at the beginning. it wasn’t taken seriously and people laughed because he was that type of person to joke like that. i don’t think he’s a jerk :)

Subscribed to your channel because of your Nirvana reactions bro!! Kurt was amazing a beautiful soul. His death still makes me sad to this day.

Great review! Thx 🎸 Kurt was well loved and, as you expressed, still is. RIP Kurt 💜

Hey man, great video reaction. I felt my body go into a mix of electricity an goosebumps when I heard this for the first time. Definitely a 10 performance 👏

Absolutely incredible great review

You need to listen to the whole set. God this played so much, especially after he died. There was a time I felt like I couldn’t turn on MTV without seeing this set replayed.

He definitely was not being a jerk! There was banter throughout the show between him and the audience...there was one guy in particular who you can hear talking to Kurt, in between the songs, throughout the whole show! I always thought that audience member was a little annoying myself, but I still always enjoyed the in-between-the-song moments, throughout!

Yup this performance was definitely a 10 you just earned a like and a new subscriber thank you for the amazing video.

Lmmfao brother I am lovin your content. Your music history knowledge is so beyond limited, but your personality is really entertaining. Keep it up. And to be fair; I keep watching you react to songs of my childhood/teen years, so I guess I need to remember I’m old and the 90s were a long time ago lol

Sends shivers down my spine every time I see/hear this particular performance, it has it's own special place in my heart. RIP Kurt ... a one and only ☮☮☮

Jojo you're great man I enjoy you're reactions i was 16 when smells like teen spirit broke so understanding the back drop of hair metal which was great to the feeling you got hit with when the song takes a turn thats why they were a total gamechanger myself and millions never heard anything like it great job with the song you did it justice

He was definitely not a jerk. Quiet, shy, contemplative, sensitive. But not a jerk.

This was Kurt Cobains final goodbye! He died like 5 months after this show so. True and pure emotion

Just love the ominous tone his voice sets, and the raw emotion he unleashed at the end 🤯

6:02 Love the reaction! This is how Kurt normally sounds when singing. Music may be too heavy punk for some but his vocal talent is undeniable.

This whole album is amazing JOJO

In the first 30 sec I knew you were a real ass dude. And the way you have the lyrics and the video on the side 10/10 on execution. You actually pick apart and follow the vibe of the song too. Chase it man, you got something. When he screamed and blew your mind i was like yep that how i first reacted!!!!

Man I really appreciate this reaction. I'm certain previous commenters provided insight into the origin of this song, it's artist's sordid history and importance of this specific live performance. I want to recommend after the next few reactions you, only then, react to "You know you're right". If that isn't in the cards, no worries, keep creating, bro. You're great.

pay attention brother he mentioned lead belly at the beginning he was the original artist back in the mists of time but this is fire great rasping voice gives it his all

This is the greatest live performance ever, I mean the way the atmosphere changed when he started screaming...this was the song that introduced me to rock and then metal and since then I've seen hundreds of absolutely brilliant performances, but nothing ever hit me like this one. Many other bands were much better than Nirvana "musically" but what makes Nirvana my favourite band is that they didn't really give a fuck, they let their emotions drown everything else.

I'm glad you wanted to try listening, and ended up loving it! SUCH SUCH a great song, and Nirvana killed it!

This whole concert played non stop on MTV. Was so good. And sad. Knowing he died not long after with the whole "mystery" behind his death. He def portrayed to a whole generation, that even he was struggling with mental health, depression , addiciton, and emoted so much for the youth being branded "the lazy generation" yet no one really listened to us.

DUDE YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO THE WHOLE CONCERT ITS AMAZING, even if its off camera, this whole album has a special vibe to it that is only experienced in one sitting. You feel the energy, their personality. It’s one of the greatest performances in history. And the best in grunge. If you liked this dude you gotta check out Alice in chains unplugged. (Btw there’s two versions of the nirvana New York mtv unplugged, there’s the one without the warmups and stuff and the one where it’s the full album, the album you want is the one where there’s the least songs like 10? Or 12?) WELCOME TO GRUNGE!!!!!

The Nirvana MTV unplugged every song hits different, my favorite CD I own honestly

Love you 😍 best reaction vid 😍😍😍

I was going to recommend you listen to this (and the whole Unplugged) just because I've already seen you are a young person who TRULY appreciates MUSIC of any genre -- as long as it has meaning... I'm 44, and you and I can relate strictly because of music. I'm new to your channel, but I'm so glad I subbed. Please keep up your musical journey.

Nirvana came out the year I entered high school. Their music, and Kurt's voice, grabbed my soul! I loved watching your reaction. Especially when he started screaming. This was their best performance as a band as a whole. Keep doin whatcha doin, young man. And DEFINITELY check out Leadbelly. RESPECT

RIP COBAIN ❤️🍀

Led Belly was a black folk singer he wrote the song, and yes, he was Kurt's favorite artist. Listen to the original you will get the context for this version.

Been enjoying your videos and reactions. My favourite Nirvana track is Your know your right. It sends shivers down my spine atleast.
