As a Nirvana fan, I must congratulate this guys for such an amazing and fresh cover. It's not just about repeating the music, but to give it your own touch. Great work!
i was so sad i could never listen to this song again because i have heard it too much in a bad time. beautiful new feelings with old echoes..
and from one fan to another i didn't know Kurt used keyboards when he didn't feel like singing his intro for the first 10 seconds nor did i know that Kurt had a drum machine for a drummer
@@kj4ilk Sooo edgy
Don't cut yourself ;)
@@kj4ilk Chill, dude. Don't forget all the Nirvana covers and the discussion about The Killing Joke song "Eighties" on the similarity with "Come as you are" riff 😜
As a music enthusiast I have to believe that Kurt is not turning over in his grave, but is appreciating the passion these people have for music and their attempt not to recreate his song, but to simply make it their own.
Same song.
Different interpretation.
a beautiful tribute in my opinion.
Dylan Gardner yes!! Thank you.
I really appreciate this comment
Dylan Gardner Kurt was cremated
Ghoulin_ Turning over in his urn then?
Matthew I guess
My god the concept of 'cover' is lost on so many people. Doesn't sound like grunge? Nothing like the original? It doesn't feel raw?.., no shit. It's a cover. It's a unique version of the original. Nothing more. No one is trying to steal your heart shaped box. More credit should go to bands like this who actually make the effort to make it their own arrangement. Just shut up about how much you love kurt, and picture walking into a chilled bar, and then hearing the ghosts of some of your favourite tunes while you sip on a martini. I particularly found the tempo change on 'memmmmoria' quite soothing. Saxophone was Genius...
nope, just doesn't sound that interesting or cool.
I completely agree Ash. Such a beautiful and emotional rendition of a classic. The sax is lit xx 😍
A cover that sounds 80% or more like the original is not a cover, a cover is a band's own take on a particular song. It is their rendition of that song. It is not meant to be a duplicate....
th-cam.com/video/c2iColEm6nA/w-d-xo.html Biffy Clyro cover Umbrella by Rihanna. :D
I truly agree. And I love nirvana but, this version was just.. a pretty version of it? I dunno I really liked it
Suppose those folks would just lose their minds if they heard Patti Smiths ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ cover.
This cover is dope, super smooth and chilling. Everyone in the comments are comparing it so hard to the original... bruh thats why it's "like a version". They created their own take on the classic by using their own unique sound
Why all the hate ?even Krist Novacelic (nirvana's bassist) liked it and even gave it a shout out on twitter.
@@laraghoreilly8631 *Novoselic
Fanboi's ... who needs 'em ; ) This is 'like a version' ... Be all about the music or GTFO.
the guy that looks like Bill from King of the Hilll? haha
Anyone who attempts to cover a Nirvana track has some big balls of steel. Congrats Big Scary
Stumbled across this in may 2021 and kicking myself I’ve never heard it before. What a cover.
You know nothing will touch the original. And I still really think this version is very atmospheric and contends respectably with any cover out there, including massively famous bands with household names. But whether you like this version or you don't, it should never be down thumbed. It's encouraging to see 20-somethings giving such praise to the 90's and nirvana. This is just another way it stays alive. And every little bit brings rock music closer to it's triumphant return to glory.
Whether you love it or hate it, props to Tom and Joanna for having the confidence to tackle such an iconic song and put their own twist on it
I love how this cover has a completely different vibe and sound to the original. It's so good to see another Aussie band putting there original touch on a much loved song! I'm obsessed with this cover!!!
people on here saying "you cant cover nirvana!" or "nothing beats the original" and then turning around to listen to lake of fire, man who sold the world,where did you sleep last night, ect
they covered heartbreaker too btw
Oooof. Excellent point!
@@EarthKeeper13 Molly's Lips too (and popular B sides like D7 etc.). People forget they really covered a lot of songs!
"HEARTBREAKER, HEARTBREAKER! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY?"
* guitar *
* mumble & scream that sounds like the lyrics *
"The solo! SOLO!"
* solo *
imagine Zep fans screaming like they one who does on this video
I get a Phil Collins vibe from this and it's awesome. 🤘🏼
A well played stripped back version of an awesome old song. This to me is what like a version is all about. Brilliant work!
This is hands down one of my favorite nirvana songs and i actually love this. Its not Nirvana but i still love this take on the song. I feel they really hit the nail on the head in what Like a Version should be, its twist on the original is rather soothing - say what you will and haters going to do their thing cause they 'know nirvana better then you because of reasons made up' but this is great!
Love like a version when a band makes a great song different but still awesome - that is what takes real talent. Great work Big Scary.
Okay, This is amazing. Seriously, I never cared for this song growing up. Too harsh. I know, hate me. But this made me fall in love with the song and actually hear it for the first time. The lyrics, the melody, the meaning. I never realized how spiritual the message is; I actually picture walking down the aisle to it. It's truly about loving somebody, no matter how they show up. BRAVO! And extra bravo for dealing with the passive aggressive mocking from the DJs who are simply jealous of your talent and think they are not being painfully obvious as they attempt to shame you. They lost because you are brilliant. Thank you from Los Angeles for making me so happy with this cover. DJs bow down. Soho Haus Rules - Jackie Hyme
interpretation is the beauty found in covers like these....
People saying "it's nothing like the original "😭it's not like a karaoke - relax your hate glands for once please
HAHA relax your hate glands, please don't mind me stealing that phrase
HATE GLANDS HAHAHAHHA
Fanboi's make my hate glands ache. Be all about the music or GTFO ; )
Songs are recipes... every chef does their own
😂
I absolutely love this cover, such a relaxing vibe from the band and awesome voice from the singer. I love any cover where someone uses those little shakers haha
I'm a freaking huge Nirvana fan, they really helped me when i was a teenager and I've got to say that this cover really is awesome. I love the way they portrayed this song. I think songs like this really help show much of a genius Kurt really was. His harmonies and song writing are second to none in my opinion. This cover really brings that out. Damn good cover, that dude has a really good voice too.
It's been far too long since the YT algorithm played this precious cover to me. I need the cockles of my heart to be warmed by this far more often!
If you listen to this as an independent song, and not compare to the song of which they are covering, it's actually quite haunting and beautiful. Like a Versions should not be compared to the song that they are covering, and instead, judged as an independent song. If they wanted to be compared to the original song, they wouldn't add their own twists, and instead try and make their song sound as much like the original as they possibly could.
Completely agree... I do my best, not always successful, to not thing of the original version, allowing the covers to really be appropriated... and then towards the end, I always catch myself comparing the two ... and so far, this channel has not let me down.... there are a lot of junk covers of great songs here in the TH-cam world
Such a complex and smoothing version of the iconic Nirvana’s Come as you are. Utterly amazing, Kurt would appreciate this for what it is. Keep up the great work.....
Read the comments before watching the video and I was already disappointed but after listening I loved this version. It's original, fresh and soothing. To each his own eh?
don't ever read the comments on these videos
that are generally cancerous
duckcluck123 you're cancerous
duckcluck123 sorry uncalled for
It's 2020, I'm under quarantine due to COVID-19, and I'm digging for good music. This cover is awesome! I really dig his vocals, but the first thing I noticed was the tone of that jazz bass. 👌🖤 Nicely done, three years later.
I got a notification at 4 in the morning about this update and it was worth waking up to
From a hardcore Nirvana fan, who knows every single song of theirs on guitar, this is great. Kurt himself would even appreciate it if he were alive im sure. Great work.
Can't believe I've never heard this before, in the 10 years I've been listening to Like a Version.
This has to be, a literate ideal of Like a Version, this is not just a cover, it is an orginal interpretation, truly awesome.
Like A Version nails another one and the purpose is "not to copy" the song and instead own it. Big Scary turns the song upside down. They take all the anger out of the song and make it into a soothing sexy song.
YES
would you listen to it again though?
Interesting version I have to say
soothing and sexy? more like haunted and wistful. beautiful, either way.
@@bashful228 I would... that sax, are you kidding me? Goosebumps!
Sounds like the outro song for a really depressing episode of Black Mirror
I didn't know Nirvana were ever considered a feel good band!
Dead on
People these days will never feel what this man feels. They don't know how to do it anymore.
This was wildly moving and I'm glad I stuck around
I love the original but WOW as others have mentioned already, this is what doing a cover is all about. It's very daring and clever with its haunting tones. I get sort of Love Will Tear Us Apart vibes when I listen to this. Amazing cover honestly!
Whenever you can fit sax in like this, you should.
This is the sweetest thing that could possibly excite human eardrums
Hands down best cover of this song ever recorded
It goes deep into my soul and warms up my heart ❤️
As one of the songs which had a massive profound influence on my
Life and many others this cover is not only super brave but re-inventing it and doing it justice is amazing 🙏
Everytime I stumble across this version I have to listen to it multiple times.
This cover makes the song more poetic, it’s great!
Beautiful cover. Kurt would love every second. If anything he'd be incredulous that anyone created something so beautiful out of something he had written.
3:38 when you're walking through TSA and they "randomly" select you out of the line.
Every comment I read: "Can't believe how much everyone hates this..."
Me: Still trying to find a comment that hates this.
Not so bad, if you pretend that you didn't grow up on nirvanas version. But not to bad
Honestly at first I thought I didn't like it, but then I thought about Kurt, Nirvana, and all they went through. This is almost like an homage to their struggle, their pain. No one can compare nor try to be exactly what Nirvana is. I applaud and appreciate this version.
I was losing patience with it and that saxophone kicked in and made it special.
courtney had him killed. he didnt kill himself. facts.
It’s not the vibe I prefer for my music. That’s just a personal taste thing. But they did everything well, it was a nice arrangement, and a distinct mood. And that dude can sing.
Three years later I find this in 2020 and Ive listened to non stop! The whole piece is their own with the 🎷 stealing the show!!!
As a 90's Nirvana kid, this is a beautiful cover. well done !!
Good Cover. Gotta give props for them doing a cover of a great 90s Alternative Band. Kurt would have smiled
Those two moments when Tom gasped were amazing. Fitted so beautifully with the song.
Great finesse on the sax. Hits all the spots. Doesnt step on anyone's toes.
Beautiful cover, with a song holding such a strong reputation - a unique version such as this brings life into a classic. Love it.
This is so lovely! Like, I hear this and go like, fuck, Cobain wrote this heart wrenching ballad but we were too busy focusing on the guitar licks the whole time. It's vocal driven fucking love this shit.
This version reminds me of the film Heat for some reason. Always nice to see bands do a totally different take on a song without losing the key hooks. Good stuff.
No me canso de este cover !!! es hermosooo
Ooooh wow.. What an awesome, beautiful version!! I listen to this so often; I can never get enough of it, it's intoxicating. Big Scary are LEGENDS!
I was hypnotized by this cover. That sax....yum!!!!
Beautifully channelled Nirvana and the true spirit of this tune to not only own it but make it something more. Straight into my 2017 Top 100!
one of the best bands covering one of the best songs!! hell yee!
This is one of the best covers I've heard. Fantastic. And the fact that it has a different haunt to it altogether is just insane.
I have good reason to believe Kurt Cobain would have loved this.
This was really good. Haunting in a modern way
I relate music to my life, my mum passed away in 2015, this song makes you think about shit. I've grown so much since she left us and this such a beautiful way to reflect on things. I miss her everyday but can't show emotion unless I drink and listen to things like this, heals your soul as it makes you think of the good times and the bad.
Amazing version!!!
Kurt would be proud.
I love this version! so refreshing 🎷🎹🎶🎵🎼💖
The greatest cover I've ever heard..🥲
Wow amazing , was not prepared for how good this was.
So smooth. And still doing justice to the melancholy of the song. Love what you guys did with this
wicked rendition. just awesome! Cheers from PEI Canada, Bryan
Really loved it. Unlike some of the others I loved the synth and particularly the sax solo. Did a great song justice, great work guys.
Oh my.... directly on my favourites list... Thanks guys, thanks a lot.
A unique and captivating interpretation. There's enough of the original elements there to recognise the song but beautifully redone. Love this.
This cover is a gold standard as far as covers go. Well done. Killed it. Did Nirvana proud.
I've never heard of big scary but WOW this has a real 80s feel to it and the voices haunting.
thanks TH-cam for putting me on to another class artist ...
I love this, Kurt would definitely have loved this. He was a true musician who enjoyed a variety of artists. It actually sounds like Bryan Ferry doing a Slave to Love version of a Nirvana song. Really interesting group.
Good cover. Haunting.
Just listening to this now to get a short list for voting in Triple J Like a Version hottest 100 and I missed this one when originally released. Love the cover!! However I can pick up hints of an 80s/early 90s tune underneath it. Anyone else hear it or is it just the sounds Big Scary put out with that sax and bongos etc make it sound a bit 80ish?
I love this mellow vibe. Love it!
Goosebumps love it!
Being a 90's kid,I remember when this song and albume dropped,it changed my life, this is a awesome version /tribute to Nirvana,great job guys I love it, you friggen owned this song.That would of made Kurt's day!!People ripping on this version probably dont remember Nirvana was about being your self,owning your own shit,playing it your way,and saying fuck you if you dont like it.
I don't think any one can embody Kurt's spirit as Kurt did. So the somewhat-sexy and ultra soothing cover of 'come as you are' is a fantastic departure and was beautifully executed.
Wow... That was totally awesome.. That sax kills it.. So awesome..
Love this very original take on this song. Superb.
Came back to this and still liked it a lot
This sounds like the song that plays when the protagonist of the movie has agreed to make the drop for the villain because he has kidnapped someone close to the protagonist, the song plays as he's on the way to the drop site and you know he has some sort of plan up his sleeve.
No surprise in the comment section, people still not understanding what a cover is. I could bet these same people didn't even grow up listening to Nirvana but instead just heard about them when they were 16 because it was cool.
Love it! 80's vibes, like a mellowed Tears for Fears cover
this captures the feeling of the 90's as a broody teenager 💜 Kurt captured our hearts its a beautiful cover
cover songs are not meant to sound like the original. I admire their indie pop take on an iconic grunge song.
Next level awesome. How did I miss this!?!?
This is great. That sax so reminds me of Morphine!
this is what a cover is supposed to be. Anyone can play an 'almost' good enough copy... bring something different to it.
I dont like it, but thats beside the point.
no… that really is the point! that's the only point to music, liking it or at least finding it challenging or interesting. dish-water (c)overs don't do it, not for me at least.
Was very nice when they both sang together make me a bit sad but very enjoyable thnks the saxophone was a nice touch
if that doesnt make it to the next Like A Version CD I will never buy it again. wow!
This is one hell of a good interpretation of that song. I've heard some covers where people butcher it by changing the song way too much, this really did the song some unique justice without taking the soul out of it. I'm really impressed by this.
Hear it for the First time. Its So amazing. Thanks guys
So awesome! Loved It.
Can't believe how little views this has compared to other like a versions. One of the best ever.
I liked this. It's just someone elses take on something simple. they added their own spin to it. Made it their own. A+
People! Why so much hate for this? I loved the original and this is a gorgeous tribute -- well done, and thanks!
What lovely voices.
THE EPITOME OF LIKE A VERSION. SOLID.
Oh yes. This is an amazing tribute. Love it! ❤️
Why is everyone hating on this? It's the bands version of the song, it's a song you can chill and relax to
