In this TH-cam video I compare 2 live versions of the song Drain you! who did it better? Nirvana or Green day? Let me know and subscribe for more music battles.
these are the frontmen of my two favorite bands of all time, and i love hearing the two next to each other. i’m going with Kurt on this one, but i wish cobain could have covered a Nirvana-y Green Day song like F.O.D. to get the full crossover
@jaggerbrooks There are some cases where the cover rivals the original. I like Faith No More’s cover of Easy by The Commodores just as much as the original song. Whitney Houston’s version of I Will Always Love You is better than the original written by Dolly Parton.
btw when i found out green day covered one of my favorite nirvana songs i was actually so siked cause nirvana and green day are both in my top 3 favorite bands right up there with foo fighters
Kurt Cobain of course and I LOVE how Kurt made a lane in the middle of the song for Chris to showcase his finger timing on his bass that shit sounds like your going thru a portal or something LOVE THIS SONG
im so glad he is pointing to the moving video so that we know what video is playing but he confuses me on who is singing since he is mouthing along to the 2 videos that are playing up above...
Kurt's grounded, gritty, perfect-in-how-it's-imperfect vocals compared to Bill's polished, slippery, teflon voice he's been using for almost 20 years now. There's no competition here if you ask me
Green Day definitely did the song justice - it feels quite respectful in terms of staying true to the feel of the song... if anyone is qualified to cover nirvana it'd be bands like green day who were doing their thing back in the early 90s when nirvana was... green day have paid their dues - im fine with it. But as for your question ... well who you coukd do nirvana better than nirvana 😊
It's not Green Day, it's The Coverups. It's their cover band which has a different drummer and bassist. Also mike is rhythm guitar and Jason White is lead and vocals
It's not even a competition nirvana duhhh
🫶🏻
LOL FRRR
Me who likes GreenDay be like❤
No voice in this world can imitate Kurt Cobain's rendition
@bhavanisidharth they played it odd and it didn't sound as clean but
this was literally kurts favourite song he made
🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

Nirvaaaanaaaa
🔥🙌🏻🔥🔥
Kurt.
Nirvana obviously
🤟🏻🤟🏻
Love the frogstomp pfp
@@pizzatime4430 lol ty
GREEN DAY COVERED NIRVANA?!?! THATS AWESOME
Agree
2 of my favorite bands
Yeah but Nirvana was better
@@jazefgcm6534same
@@VidusBJsame here too😂😂even though Greenday is my favorite band, nobody can outdo Nirvana on a NIRVANA song
Has been my favorite Nirvana song since 1991. Nobody could ever do it better.
Nirvana !
🔥🔥
Green Day is my favorite band… however gotta give it to Nirvana. RIP Kurt
these are the frontmen of my two favorite bands of all time, and i love hearing the two next to each other. i’m going with Kurt on this one, but i wish cobain could have covered a Nirvana-y Green Day song like F.O.D. to get the full crossover
❤️❤️
Nirvana all the way
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Bro Kurt's guitar tone is really one of a kind,once you hear it,you definitely knew its him
Green Day did excellent but you can't dethrone a king
@jaggerbrooks wrong
@jaggerbrooks There are some cases where the cover rivals the original. I like Faith No More’s cover of Easy by The Commodores just as much as the original song. Whitney Houston’s version of I Will Always Love You is better than the original written by Dolly Parton.
But a 12 gauge did 😊
France disagree with you 😂
@@renegadechamp9230lol that's crazy
NIRVANA ALL THE WAY!!!
The live and loud version of Drain you is my favourite version of this song.
Great!
same
Live at The Paramount is my personal favorite, but the Live and Loud is really neat.
This one instantly came to mind yesterday driving home. Great song
Nirvana
🥰🥰
😍💭
Ooh.. This is hard bc I Love both bands lol. I love the original better. But I'm not mad at Green Day's version❤
These 2 may be my 2 favorite performances ever
nothing more satisfying than finding out a band you like made a cover of a song by another band you like
Both are great but kurt is just perfect
my homie said green day he’s dead now
😳
OMG Green day is my favourite band and Drain you is my favourite nirvana song i wish i saw that
Nirvana better but green day is good
They’re both good but nirvana all the way
Drain You is a masterpiece.
Nirvana by a million
Idk why Green day re did it 💀
Green Day covering Nirvana is awesome! My favourite band covering another one of my favourites
both were amazing, nothing beats the original tho
I love on how people do covers of nirvanas songs so we keep Kurt in the music industry forever❤
He needs to stay, I wish he was here
Nirvana songs are easy to play
My band is learning this song! I love it!!
Green Day “Hwun bayheh to hnuthger saugd im luhcky to mhehht yhoooouuu”
Literally my two favorite bands, gotta say Nirvana tho
Coheed and Cambria did a pretty great cover of it too
btw when i found out green day covered one of my favorite nirvana songs i was actually so siked cause nirvana and green day are both in my top 3 favorite bands right up there with foo fighters
nirvana foever
Nirvana of course🤟🤟🤟
I’m a fan of both but nothing beats the original I actually didn’t know green day covered drain you
Tbh Drain You is my favorite Nirvana song
Best version of the song is the MTV 1990 performance done in the MTV club studio
I like both
NO WAY THEY ARE LITERALLY MY FAVORITE BANDS
Nirvana Rock 🤘
Nirvana, but I honestly didn’t even know Green Day covered it
I’ll admit Green Day is one of the few that can cover Nirvana songs and sound good but I still gotta give it to Nirvana
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Kurt Cobain of course and I LOVE how Kurt made a lane in the middle of the song for Chris to showcase his finger timing on his bass that shit sounds like your going thru a portal or something LOVE THIS SONG
NIRVANA!
Nirvana obviously LMAO
It’s definitely nirvana but Green Day did pretty good
Only Nirvana.Kurt's voice is like angel's breath
NIRVANA
Yeah
No one does it better than Nirvana, but I did like that GD did it in the lower key (which Nirvana never did), so they get a pass
im so glad he is pointing to the moving video so that we know what video is playing but he confuses me on who is singing since he is mouthing along to the 2 videos that are playing up above...
Are you serious or joking
Nirvana no comp
Nirvana, but green days did sound pretty good!
Nirvana obvs BUT I DIDNT LNOW GREENDAY COVERED DRAIN YOU THAT IS AWESOME
Even comparing Green Day to Nirvana is disappointing! Kurt nailed it
I know. Would have made more sense to compare two covers.
Nirvana but Green Day is awesome too
They’re both great but nothing beats the original
🙌🏻😍😍😍
My cats breath smells like cat food!
MY TWO FAVORITE BANDS COVERING MY FAVORITE SONG
Og, the cover tone is spot on to nevermind though
nirvana obviously. but to give green day credit their version is still really enjoyable
👏👏
Wow, they covered it really, really closely.
🫶🏻
It’s Nirvana
💥💥💥
Kurt's grounded, gritty, perfect-in-how-it's-imperfect vocals compared to Bill's polished, slippery, teflon voice he's been using for almost 20 years now. There's no competition here if you ask me
tf is a slippery teflon voice
@@lovekilss It has no grit or friction to it
Not even close. The person covering this song does not need to be a copycat
BOTH ARE AWESOME
There is no question it is Green Day. They are one of the greatest bands of all time.
Not sure why this question is needed… I love Green Day, but there’s no comparison. Kurt was amazing.
I love both❤️😍
❤️
Nirvana what kind of a question is that lol
Nirvana’s Live at Paramount version
Nirvana obviously, but this is a really good cover from Green Day.
They’re both sick but you have to go Nirvana
All respect to Green Day for covering it but Nirvana did it better
GreenDay covering Nirvana is freaking awesome but with all do respect to billy its not even comparable
Bro that’s one of Billies side-projects “the coverups” not green day.
Green Day definitely did the song justice - it feels quite respectful in terms of staying true to the feel of the song... if anyone is qualified to cover nirvana it'd be bands like green day who were doing their thing back in the early 90s when nirvana was... green day have paid their dues - im fine with it. But as for your question ... well who you coukd do nirvana better than nirvana 😊
I love both versions but i'd say Nirvana did it better
Nirvana!!!! But Green Day did a cool cover version 👍
dont ever compare kurt with another...
I like them equally although I’m giving it to Nirvana because he just sounds like an imitation of Nirvana
Nirvana obviously but green day did such a good cover ngl
Nirvana, this can’t be a serious question.
🫣
Nothing compares to Nirvana
nirvana but damn that green day tune is badass still nirvana though.
It's not Green Day, it's The Coverups. It's their cover band which has a different drummer and bassist. Also mike is rhythm guitar and Jason White is lead and vocals
Nirvana every time and I like Green Day.
Both..love nirvana and Green Day too much😂
Nirvana, Mas 🎉
💪🏻💪🏻
Nirvana, not because it's their own but kurt did vocals better💗
Nirvana wins, i mean they literally wrote the song. But the green day one goes hard too. Might just be because i like the song in general
Nobody can sing Derain you better than Kurt
Why would i want a Big Mac (Green Day),when i can enjoy a Steak (Nirvana)
Kurt id trade green days whole catalog jus for the complete version of pen cap chew
Everybody is sleeping on the fried by flouride cover
Nirvana like why pose the question?
Nirvana ofc but Green Day killed it as well
They both rock ! Nirvana obviously takes the W though
My dogs hear me play they tried to riot love you Kurt Cobain my dogs singing
