    Kurt was absolutely not a jerk. Everyone who knew him said he was funny, charming and one of the most heart felt people you'd ever want to meet. Every time I see Kurt take that one breath, he opens his eyes wide and I get chills. I watched this when it first released and the whole concert was amazing.

      He was also very very loudly, and well documented, an advocate for women’s rights, civil rights, and anyone who needed the platform. His songs were stories told from what their perspectives might be

      @@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.

      These specific unplugged songs they did are my fave, because they really remind me so much of the raw emotion you hear in folk Mexican ranchero/mariachi artists I grew up listening , like Vicente Fernandez, Aida Cuevas, Juan Gabriel etc. Obviously different genre, but that’s the only other music I’ve ever heard this and it gives me the chills and feeling I get when I listen to the unplugged songs they did. 🤔 💜

    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.

    Kurt was just being sarcastic when he dropped the f bomb. He was a very gentle soul in some ways, but painfully honest too. I'm not sure if you're aware, but he was dead within a few months of this performance. He took his own life. When I hear that part of the song, it makes me feel just a tiny fraction of the emotion Kurt may have felt when he was overwhelmed with aspects of life. Great reaction.

    • @WallKenshiro
      @WallKenshiro 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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.

    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!!!

      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.

Kurt had a way of showing the human spirit - the sorrow and despair- through his voice that I’ve never seen duplicated.

Sadly, Kurt like so many other amazing grunge era musicians left us way too soon. Learn to love and appreciate all music genres.

    The drummer for this band (Nirvana) is Dave Grohl.. He became the front man for a group called Foo fighters that's grieving the loss of their drummer from an overdose on 3/19/22 after a show in Bogota Colombia. Dave Grohl is also part of Queens of the Stone Age. Kurt Cobain killed himself at 27. He was a great musician, but he never seemed to be happy after he got what he wanted. Check out Nirvana's song The man who sold the world. Sometimes you can't stop a suicide no matter what you do . Now he's part of the 27 club forever

    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.

      To know a lil of the back story the band didn't think Layne would proform so well.

    Loved your reaction! This has got be one of the best unplugs. That feeling after you hear his scream is the reason we all fell in love with him. RIP Kurt.
