I think he purposely picked songs that were less popular on radio or just in general. He definitely chose which ones he thought would sound best acoustic and from those he didn't play any of their big singles and brought out a no name band like the meat puppets and covered 3 whole songs that weren't even nirvana( which I'm sure mtv and his record label hated that at the time but now it's seen as a genius move from nirvana. Drain you isn't really meant for acoustic he probably felt the song wouldnt sound right without distortion and singing a lot softer. He loves the song he wouldn't do anything he felt would make the song sound like it's not on par of the original. All the songs nirvana did all sound just as good or better than studio version. He picked all the right songs of his to play acoustic ones he knew he could murder with his eyes closed. Then took a huge chance on the last song turns out Kurt is a fucking legend and a genius as he kills where did you sleep last night sealing his fate as timeless. If the song he covered is 100 years old it's already timeless and Kurt cemented the song never being forgotten along with Leadbelly.
@@7emhosiks167 while Kurt was definitely inspired by the Beatles, to say something as brash as “all of Kurt’s music was heavily inspired by the Beatles and their melodies” is just lazy. Kurt had many other influences that were far removed from the Beatles. Tell me, which Beatles songs do you think were the inspiration for this particular song, Drain You?
Nirvana has a completely different vibe, they might have been The Beatles of an alternative dark matter universe. Even when Kurt wanted to do a Beatles style song, like About A Girl, it sounded so tormented and strange...

Unsure if this is how these jams would actually sound if they actually did them acoustic, but you’re doing a really good job with your editing tricks. Cool stuff. 🤘
I think its pretty accurate other than the key, they would play it a half step up from this current tuning (D standard) unplugged was entirely Eb tuning.
After listening to how the drums had to be played one can understand why they left this one out for the Unplugged. Still great work by Riot Earth, you have a new subscriber, greetings from Chile!
One of my all time favorite Nirvana tunes make an album of what u got and I would buy it in a second brother nice work as always thanks for doing it peace
Yeah its raspy, kinda clean in some parts, emotional, loud, quiet, beautiful, and ugly at the same time. I think Layne from Alice in Chains is also a good singer of Grunge maybe even more than Kurt
@@PotatoLadYT I mean, at that time, Kurt had this thought in his mind that it's better not to perform their major hits unplugged so that someone in the future would do this sort of audio editing.
Nice work. People asked for it on MTV Unplugged, it's nice to imagine he playing it. This version is awesome, but I'd like to see with the same battery used on MTV unplugged. THis won't sound like this, the battery is (satisfyingly, I admit) too strong, but not the same. Probably now with all this IA techs, someone could make. Could even make the video of it, using deepfake and IA gen stuff. If someone here find it or make it, please send me, I'm dying to see it.
I'm digging the remix/re-imagined songs that didn't make it to the Unplugged album. I think the breakdown in this song could have been carried by the cello but that's not a complaint.
Riot ...I've heard alot... alot of people tryyyyyy to get the 'exact' same Cobain sound with what they got, the recording even, the mic positioning, everything... you come the closest.
This is neither on the video or the album. Oh my goodness, I have pretty much memorized this performance since 1993. How did I not know this lovely song exists?
@owlsongfiberarts8660 it's made by this guy who posted it that's Kurt's voice from another track added on to the acoustic guitar that isn't kurrt playing it
I wish this was an official unplugged version cuz Kurt literally after recording this song played it at basically every live show they did cuz I believe it was his favorite song of his
Eu acho que ele não colocou por causa da pausa no meio da música. Se cortar perde a essência da música, ele provavelmente cortaria já que pulou o solo de pennyroal tea e deixou de tocar in bloom por causa do solo. Hj com esses vídeos nós sabemos que daria pra ter feito o solo acústico dessas duas músicas khakkk
Muy buen trabajo el qye has echo mis felicitaciones pero la música lo hubieras puesto un segundo adelantado y la voz no hubiera sido del albun de estudio si no la de la presentación que gacen francia cuando Kurt bota la guitarra y unos decibeles mas de acústica habrua sido tal cual como hubiera quedado si se tocaba en el unpluged pero igual un facisnante trabajo ya que q mi esta canción es mi favorita de nirvana la que me cambia el ánimo es especial para mi esta canción
Gran trabajo amigo 🤟, ojalá puedas haces estos temas : Scentless apprentice, very ape, frances farmer will have her revenge on Seattle, school, negative creep
Lee Ranaldo made I made a record together this year. I’m going to text him right now with this link and confirm this happened. I’m nervous about AI these days, but him and Leah singer sat right in front of them. So he’ll know.

This has always been my favorite Nirvana song..glad Riot Earth mixed an acoustic version of it.

It was his favourite song of his. Mine too 😌
I've been playing this in my head for 20 yrs. Well done and thank you!
This is like an alternative universe where he didn't get involved with the things he did and he's still alive
I wish we were in that timeline...
Yeah...perfect way to put it...
Unplugged 2022 revisited
Didn't get involved with the bitch Courtney love
get involved with murderer drugaddict courtney love**
This song played acoustically is unironically one of Kurts most Beatle-esque sounding songs.
Tell me you don’t know the Beatles without telling me you don’t know the Beatles.
@RubberBandPistol I too know internet lingo.
@@RubberBandPistol It is very Beatles though. All of Kurt's music is heavily inspired by the Beatles and their melodies.

There’s someone called bunkbed coffin who does nirvana covers and sounds quite similar to Kurt. Check it out.

@@misterasterisco5217 The producer/sound tech was wise to advise him to use brush sticks on the drums.
It's amazing how many of Kurt's songs played without electric sound like classic rock from the 60s. He truly had something special going on
Do lounge act please. These are great
Lounge Act would be awesome!!
Yes yes yes
want toooo
He just did a couple days ago, I love drain you and lounge act too! Go check out the lounge act it’s pretty good

What she said....
Go check the Nirvana unplugged - riot earth concert. Even if it's editing tricks, still is magical
Kurt's voice is the definition of Grunge
Yeah its raspy, kinda clean in some parts, emotional, loud, quiet, beautiful, and ugly at the same time. I think Layne from Alice in Chains is also a good singer of Grunge maybe even more than Kurt
@@mrlost470 nah Kurt is better plus Kurt also kind of started “grunge”
@@Sventhepugno. Kurt discovered grunge when he watched the Melvins play
The middle section wouldn't have worked. Kurt knew exactly what he was doing with this setlist.
That's slick: took Kurt's vocals from the LP, stripped Dave's backing vocals and concocted this breakfast-cereal shit...I like it!
"Concocted this breakfast-cereal shit." Now that's a phrase I'd like to adapt
Kurt purposely didn't perform Drain You in 1994 MTV Unplugged so that someone in the future will do this version.
God i hope someone thinks this isnt satirical and comments on it making a fool of themselves..

These are ridiculously good.
this would be perfect to play unplugged! they should have!

This song is amazing on acoustic guitar so clear wow so cool
Una joya! Le amo. Igual nunca la hubiera tocando en "La" igual es una cosa de locos
si seguiría vivo hoy en día si la tocaria en LA para llegar mejor con su voz ya gastada

Lots of joy it brings :)
Kinda power hippie song ☮️
At this point just do the whole album 😂
Riot Earth, that’s awesome!!! Did you record the whole drums again or used some kind of plug in to convert the original drums to acoustic brushes?
I redid the drums, but added in the actual snare and kick from Unplugged in New York. Thanks for listening!
@@RIOTEARTH you're awesome, man!
😢hands down the best version ever

It’s the vocal stems from the song
drain you acoustic sounds better than the original

É uma pena ele não ter incluído no setlist do Unplugged

this was Kurts favorite i think or one of them. i forgot this was the last one they did, it wasnt on the unplugged DVD i dont think.
Honest question : I'm totally blown away by how it is so realistic, would you agree to share how you did this ? (Thank you so much for your work)
Amazing
You mean to tell me that there was a Drain you unplugged version for 31 years?? How I did not know this?!
He took the vocals from the album and created the rest

como tal en acustico solo la guitarra / la voz es la del disco en estudio .
Stay Away, please
If Kurt could come back from the dead, I believe he'd like this. :)
