"he has guitar strings for vocal cords." ...seriously one of the most insightful comments I've ever heard about his singing.
His voice even has distortion pedals
@@RavenDimal ya they call that vocal distortion
Yeah one of the few singers that used his voice as an instrument, and its why hes one the best ever
What always struck me about this song is how it sounds so simple and easy, yet it really is quite brilliant musically. The overall vibe just takes you somewhere different.
fact
Guitar tabs for the verses of this song really are simple. I can't play guitar but I can play this.
I know you understand already, but simple does not mean bad art. Sometimes it takes visionary levels of talent to come up with something without fat. Something simple but without wasted notes. It's the same with painting - not all the best paintings have the most fine detail. Fun fact this was a deliberate rip-off of "Eighties" by Killing Joke. They even admitted it after they were sued for it. The cool thing is that a decade later Grohl did what I consider his most solid drumming on a self-titled Killing Joke (2003) album.
facts
Yeah all of their songs are simple with hidden meanings
Nirvana made really raw music - unrefined, but well painted.
@@5burowz Yep, it would have been interesting to see what he did next.
@Scott Warner. That's a neat analogy. :)
She means that Kurt had a voice that cut through straight to the listener. In other words, the guy meant every word!
he sounds very sincere and emotional in his delivery even though the words hes saying seem like random nonsense.
...Except the part about not having a gun.
@@TheTruthIsTheWay11 and the fact he said in an interview that a lot of his lyrics are nonsense. People read too much into things thinking they're being intelligent :/ They aren't.
@@DimensionDevices It was a joke...
He is stupid and she is smart
This girl loves her grunge. Can imagine getting to hear the Nevermind album as if it were the first time, all over again?!?
Yeah that's the only that getting to know an artist all over again it's never the same as hearing it for the first time in the way you feel is voice...damn um jealous. 😐
This is the quintessential Nirvana sound I remember from the early 90's. For as much credit as "Smells Like Teen Spirit" got and it is more iconic, this one struck a nerve with garage bands everywhere.
This is the one that hooked me the first time I ever heard the opening notes.
@@Orange6921 same here
you and I have very different definition of the word "Quintessential" IMO that would be the whole bleach album hands down the best nirvana album.
@@bustacap3791 Bleach was an awesome album!
Breed
My dad bought this album in 1991 and it changed my outlook on music forever...I was 10
91 was the best year in music imho. Remember the other stuff that came out that year?
@@TheAlja i remember Blood, sugar, sex, magic from Red hot chilli peppers en Ten from Pearl Jam and Nevermind coming out within a month from eachother
Your dad has great taste in music!
Dude, I was 9... and this album changed everything for me. So I fully get you here.
The way Lex talks about music, the connections she makes, reminds me of someone who has Synesthesia. People who can taste shapes, or smell colors.
I’ve thought the same thing several times. She makes astounding connections that I can even grok sometimes! 😋
Couldn't agree more, with both of you.
I’ve thought the same ☺️
I think She does have it. If She doesn't know She may be undiagnosed. Or maybe She is simply a unique soul? She is very, very similar to my wife who does have it. She connects with Lex a lot because of Her comparisons since it's so much like how She sees things.
My 14 year old has synesthesia. She tastes music and sounds.
I understood exactly what Lex meant (and that's rare). She's saying it felt intimate, like Kurt is talking right to you instead of performing theatrically for a large audience.
I see this in acting all the time. Great actors in films find a way to be subtle and intense, that pulls you in, while others are loud and outrageous, like they belong in a play.
I also got the same feeling when Lex started to describe it, like she was saying something that I always knew but didn’t know what it was.
Very nicely put.
to me best Nirvana song. RIP Kurt.
💯 long live the legend 🙏
The line “No I dont have a gun” always gives me chills. Im not sure exactly his meaning but you cant deny the creepy foreshadowing of him dying by gunshot and ppl not believing he pulled the trigger himself. That line always makes me think of Courtney Love.
Yes, but I do not blame Courtney for him killing himself. She’s been an easy scapegoat, like Yoko Ono, except Yoko Ono was never accused of shooting John Lennon.
I’m not a Courtney Love fan; at times she has shown talent, but she was messed up from childhood, and only complicated things for Kurt. Two heroin addicts-what a great pair. Smh
@@ashleydixon4613 Courtney paid Cali DeWitt (the nanny who was at home when Kurt arrived home from Exodus) to give Kurt an extra pure dose of heroin. Once he was unconscious from the heroin, he was shot.
I always take it different, like someone knowing what he's capable of asking if he as a gun and he's denying it ... but lying.
@@Cloud007. exactly, people really should read the case files, they are public, there was so much shady shit going on.
The gun can be a metaphor for a part of his body.
my fave Nirvana song EVER !!!!...such a poetic beautiful message!!!
@THE ACOUSTIC CAGE LOL, and not just a message, but a "beautiful" message. "come doused in bleach like I want you to be" so beautiful.
People in these comments are always weird. Everyone is always "the greatest" and every song is "the most beautiful".
This bass hook/riff was used previously by Killing Joke (song Eighties), The Damned (Life Goes On) Garden of Delight (22 Faces) and The Equals (Baby Come Back)
My favourite Nirvana song. When I first heard it I had strong images of water - the video bears this out. I can't say I understand the lyrics, but it feels to me that he's using water as a motif for the dissolution of everything - friendship, hatred, life, everything becomes meaningless with time. The gun reference is very dark & perhaps prefigures his suicide. It's a very nihilistic song, but oddly one I don't find depressing. You have to confront these things. 'Here lies one whose name is writ in water' - John Keats' gravestone.
Also: the use of hard narcotics is said to result in a floaty, 'underwater' feeling.
My favourite one too!
Dude, same I see water drops dropping from a pipe in boiler room for some reason.
Yeah, water always comes to my mind when I hear this song. I picture bright blue clear water, pretty much the album cover 😅
This is definitely the least depressing Nirvana song
Dirty,well that is why Nirvana is one of the best Grunge bands of all time Kurt's voice was resprestation of what the 90's were especially with the youth .
I live in the Seattle suburbs, and I had to work in Aberdeen WA on the other side of Puget Sound, about 1.5 hours away. When I rolled in, I saw a sign Welcome to Aberdeen, Come as you are. Then it hit me, Aberdeen is Kurt Cobain's hometown.
I live on the Seattle northend. This place has changed a lot since the 80s, LOL.
The poetry in this song breaks my heart. By far my favorite Nirvana song. Good and bad, happy sad, are his memories.
The "reality" of the whole Seattle scene was the biggest change the grunge music brought. It knocked all the artifice and larger than life aspect off of Rock. Made it ok to be real.
I can agree but along with the influence of grunge a lot of the music became a lot more boring in my opinion
Smells Like Teen Spirit is by far Nirvana's best song in my opinion and it shows with how insanely popular the song is, and yet, it's one of the least grunge-y songs they ever made.
I get that this whole grunge sound is supposed to be laid back and sound "mysterious" but it makes a lot of people yawn
@@enyazogd5325 Two basic errors: 'Heart Shaped Box' is twice the song than SLTS, and your idea of Grunge being 'laid back' is a complete misnomer!
@@Katehowe3010 It's just not though lol
I didn't say that it was "objectively boring" because it's laid back, I just said that it IS typically more laid back rock, which it is
idk if I struck a nerve or something
@@enyazogd5325 I agree entirely that the movement became a watered down bore. It was your assumptions of best song and laid back that didn't sit right with me!
@@Katehowe3010 but I said "SLTS by far best song IN MY OPINION"
And as for "laid back" i'm literally just saying that the music isn't powered with energy, which it isn't
One of my Nirvana favorites. Also check out Something in the Way, In Bloom, All Apologies, and On a Plain
Interesting take From a Metal Mark, but yes, those are all the good, chill Nirvana songs.
Breed
@@carlosvejar3938 Breed is a great song, but this guy was listing the slower chill songs. Breed is fast pace and loud.
The heavy chorus effect on the guitar is so quintessentially Nirvava and the 90s...
Actually, that effect is way more associated with the 80s than the 90s….
This is an awesome song. Definitely a game changer.
You guys should react to…
Nirvana - Something In The Way
🎸🤘

batman song lol
or in bloom
Grunge = working in a garage, wearing corduroy
❣️❣️❣️❣️
Lex is like a psychic medium of music reactions.
None of those bands worked in garages wearing corduroy. They were punk hipsters. Most grunge musicians at the time wouldn't understand an engine from a wheel. They were the reject kids who were into art and music. In fact, they couldn't stand the typical macho guys they grew up with in small towns in Washington or wherever. That's why they focused on their music. They absolutely did NOT want to end up in garages wearing corduroy. They grew their hair long, wore mac jackets and torn jeans. Sometimes they raided the used clothing stores and died their hair.
@@alukuhito
That's the truth, but just listening to the music the regular listener would tend to associate it more with the down to earth than with artsy (especially if you compare the looks of the grunge bands with the hair metal bands).
I was the grunge target market, unemployed and angry young guy who felt lied to and couldn’t get an education or a job. Roamed the streets angry with my friends in the same boat, wearing flannel and jeans. We just left the 80s that promised so much and felt the 90s pulled from under us. Grunge spoke for me
@@wastedtalentinc8007
So because of your experience, anyone who grew up with gearheads and drywallers but liked Nirvana and Pearl Jam was...what? Excluded? Because they didn't "live" the grunge? LOL. Yeah, okay. I held down jobs with cockroaches nesting in my Sega Genesis, bruh. And I saw all "your" bands come up in the High Times Hot 100 while still collecting cassettes in the Midwest. Spare me the "we invented flannel" nonsense. I have a junior high yearbook shot that disagrees when Kurt was probably still wearing velour and a feathered part in his hair.
Wife here...I was there for the birth of Hair Metal and Grunge...Will still blast Nirvana when I hear it!!.Love Your Reactions
This entire album is amazing. Revolutionary music.

Wasnt Teen Spirit....it was THIS tune that made me a life-long Nirvana fan. Finely crafted masterpiece of a pop song. To me, this song has always encapsulated the duality of the 60s : Woodstock v. Manson.
You say his voice sounds "real" and that's what really attracted listeners back in the day. We had just come off a decade of hair metal - all gloss and no substance, tales of a lifestyle we fantasized about but couldn't relate to - and here came Nirvana and the rest who felt like real, approachable people.
You hit it on the head. I think that we were ready for this. It was kind of like the new wave/punk pop of the late 70’s, which was partially a reaction to the sometimes pretentious prog rock.
But hair metal was so much fun though!
@@Xman156 It was! I had a blast with Motley Crue and some others in the 80s. No shame in it. But Nirvana etc. opened up something new in a lot of listeners' minds. It felt like an evolutionary step, and much-needed. Hair metal got stale.
@@willasacco9898 Absolutely. Every meaningful movement is a direct reaction to another.
Agreed with Michael and Willa.
Dont forget old school rap and other alternative rock. They were fresh and authentic. Lex mentions Kurts voice and singing style. Those were punk influences which was raw including the music. Grunge was influenced a lot from punk and metal. I was in high school during the '90s. When rap and alternative rock were breaking through the mainstream from the underground. It related to many of us Gen X.🎸 lot of us were tired of the commercialized, fakeish hair rock in some way if I recall.
YES FINALLY Nirvana again!
There's nothing better than to watch Brad try to dissect Nirvana lyrics.
I love this band. Nirvana is my favorite musical performance act of all time. I started listening to them 20 years ago and still do. TH-cam rocks. Now I've seen them do shows all over Europe, the U.S., on TV. Now I get to watch all type of folks "discover" them and react. It's good stuff.
I'm so early I don't even know what to do lmao. Best channel tho, hands down 🙌🏾
You were first! Wonder what your prize is! 🤣🤣
@@perijetton9275 hopefully something along the lines of ribeye steak lmao
1991 when nothing sounded like this. It was amazing to dance to this and smell like teen spirit at the bowgie inn pub/club crantock cornwall, overlooking the beach
My home town Aberdeen WA . We have many fans come from all over the world to take pictures of a sign entering town WELCOME TO ABERDEEN COME AS YOU ARE !
The line " No i dont have a gun" is so creepy knowing he shot himself
*murdered
No he didn't
That intro riff is one of the most iconic ones of rock history. Unbelievable that it is a classic now. I still remember when it came out.
Iconic intro riff was also unintentionally “borrowed” from Killing Joke’s “Eighties”
Which was borrowed from the Damned’s Life goes on
Heard this song in a record store like 15ish years ago. Immediately bought the album. Then bought every Nirvana album I could find.
love this band. Their songs still hold up so well. Kurt's vocals and and melodies are so captivating.
wasnt Teen Spirit....it was THIS tune that made me a life-long Nirvana fan. Finely crafted masterpiece of a pop song. To me, this song has always encapsulated the duality of the 60s....Woodstock v. Manson.
As crazy as it sound it’s Polly that made me a fan lmao. Even though now I enjoy the heavier side of nirvana.
@@mxrder8767 Polly's a great song. Duality of the 60s....Woodstock v. Manson.
One of the best songs from this legendary band. Long live Nirvana! Great reaction from you two. Keep it up.
Whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of listening to the alternative rock station in Toronto (CFNY - the same station that by chance Rush sang about with "Spirit of the Radio"). Anyway, there was a female disk jockey and Kurt had just killed himself. She was really emotional and upset. She had just played this song, and part of the lyrics are "I don't have a gun." She was so upset that in fact, Kurt did have a gun and killed himself. She was upset that he gave into his depression, but ended up hurting the people around him. It was a strange time. It's hard to explain just how big Nirvana were at the time, and then for him to suddenly be gone. They were selling out concerts around the world, and just about everyone in the western world knew the band, whether they liked them or not.
Having inherited suicidal tendencies, and having struggled with suicidal ideation my whole adult life, and hanging by my fingertips almost consumed by the dark pit's lure (feeling no more pain in this physical form)...this song speaks to me..always has.✌♥️
Thanks! Nirvana rocks!
Come as you are, I’m not a threat, be ourself when you here.
One of the first thing people say when talking about music in the 90s ….I saw Nirvana !
I think Lex has a point. This has kind of a chill vibe to it, for a Nirvana song. He seems more like he is "talking" to the listener on this song more than his usual scream, yell, ranting pissed off voice. Another great pick for a song. Check out Polly from this album for lyric's and investigate what the song was written about.... Heavy topic indeed.
One of the first songs I learned to play on guitar when I started lessons two years ago. Epic song!
The guitar tone is, well, Nirvana. So good
The first time I heard Nirvana or any of the grunge groups was when I moved into my college dorm building in the 1991-92 school year. I thought, "that's interesting..." And it was a definite departure from the 80s we had just left behind. I don't know if this song was the first one I heard but it was a Nirvana song.
One of Nirvana's most timeless tracks... brilliant lyrics inspired by the beat poets (of the 50s & 60s) that are carried by driving, straightforward rock & roll. Great song!
Right on..Love ur reaction Lex...great job guys..
LOVE this one! 🙏🏼 please do “Something In The Way” next? 🥰 love you guys! Cheers!
Their goal was simple - catchy. What Kurt said anyway. I think they definitely hit the mark. Some great memorable songs!
God I so love Nirvana, my entire life I've loved this band.
The lyrics of the song describe Kurt's experiences from heroin addiction. The line "Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach" is taken directly from an anti-drug campaign run in the USA at the time Kurt wrote the song. The gun references are a poignant reminder and portend of the tragic end to Kurt's life.
It seems like it's about come one, come all, we can all get along. I don't have a gun, I'm welcoming you as a friend. I always just love the guitar in this song
Little logging town Kurt was huge here Nirvana was the start of Grunge !
I enjoy seeing young people check out the music I grew up on and hearing their thoughts on it. Love what y'all are doing. Thank you.
This song brings back some great memoria's.
I was an 80e Rocker, but love Nirvana, Pearl Jam n Alice and Chains.
It was one of the defining songs of the 90’s
one of my favorite Killing Joke riffs ever !
Not a band I listen to much anymore but when I was first discovering music by myself (stealing my big brothers albums) Nirvana was one of the first bands I fell in love with, brings me back to my adolescence.
This is one of the songs that was at the heart of Grunge.
Memoria Latin for memory.Is that not just awesome.Makes it sound so different. Thanks again for reaction. Yall are awesome.
Hard to believe Come As You Are is 30 years old , released on my then 16th birthday
Yeah, and 30 years before that the Beatles were still in Liverpool and I though they were ancient in ‘92. Time changes one’s perspective. It’s crazy.
Kurt's first band Fecal Matter is abrasive trip through Sludge Punk.
I think it's one of the All Time Great Rock songs.
You guys need to check out Nirvana: Aneurysm🔥🔥Dave’s drums and Kurt’s scream at the end👀
"It sounds like he was going through some stuff..." Boy, did she hit the nail on the head with that observation.
He's saying he's not a threat, not a predator, that he doesn't want anything she's not ready to give. Come as you are, in whatever capacity you can make it in, but do please come.
Thank you for your response and because this song helped me through high school 👍🤔😹
Grunge rock! Love this group
Nirvana were not the same as all the other "grunge" stuff though. I can't stand most of that genre. Nirvana did their own thing but somehow got lumped in with all that garbage like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.
For me, this is one of the best Nirvana songs.
Man.... I just can't help feeling for Dave right now. First Kurt, and now Taylor. (Aswell as many others in between). He's definitely feeling it I'm sure. Anyway great reaction!! 😉❤✌
Its all about going to concerts and small clubs as dirty, crusty punk rock kids off the street. Also show flyers sometimes used to say "come as you are". The "no I dont have a gun" part is about being searched at the door before entry.
Great choice! Great review!
My fav song of theirs…guitar work is awesome 👏
My favorite nirvana song 👍
Love Nirvana
memories. i was a teen through the grunge era. what a great time to grow up. classics. love from OZ. would love to see a reaction to In Bloom
The 90s was a beautiful collectik time. So many genres all taking turns at no1. Our 1960s if you took the time to enjoy. Grunge was a great anthema of the prefabricated pop and hair metal shit in the charts of the 80s
Love his description I feel he’s catching on 😉 👌🏽
One thing I'm not seeing many (any?) comments about is the sense contradiction "Come as you are.." but then: "as you were, ... as I want you to be" "Take your time, hurry up, don't be late" This adds a dimension to the lyric... suggesting (maybe) a struggle to define relationships ... perhaps with fans, perhaps with close relationships... it seems he does he want 'them' to be free - to come as they are, but is Kurt thinking she/they are trying to fit his expectations - so he's not trusting what he's seeing? Also I note that when Nirvana/Kurt repeats lines, it often feels like the lyric is being pointed to specifically.. to explore multiple meanings.. Why "memoria" so many times here? Memory, ah... Memory.. ah (sigh?) memoria (memory?) In memoria? As a memorial? [Similarly in "Smells like Teen Spirit" the word "hello" appears to be repeated... but despite the standard lyric "hello hello hello hello hello" I hear "Hello hello hello hello, how low?" and even "Hello halo hello, hello, how low?" ] As others have pointed out, in "Come As You Are" the repeated line "and I swear that I don't have a gun" is horrifically haunting in retrospect.. it's very difficult not to reflect on this as some kind of fore-shadowing - of what specifically, we can only guess. Was he saying "if you find me shot dead, it won't be by my own hand"? or was this simply an internal grappling with suicidal or homicidal thoughts? Aside from the thought-provoking lyrics, this song is sonically amazing, absolutely one of the best songs of the 90s, A classic for the ages.
Grunge means dirt and I love the style of this music when I'm in the mood for it.
My favorite Nirvana song. It’s just a great alt rock song that gets the job done! Lex I do believe you enjoyed this!
A smile appeared on my face
Good classic 90s Grunge! My college days
I'm with the lady on this one, I absolutely relate to what she was saying abot Kurt's voice feeling real
Adore the start of the song!
That low-strumming intro guitar is the essence of Nirvana for me, brings back a tsunami of memories. Never fully appreciated Dave Grohl drumming his pants off though!
He was beating those drums like they owed him money! 🤣
He traded his shotgun in at a pawnshop and got a guitar. The way he made the notes swim around in stereo with a flanger or phaser, whatever he used still blows my mind. He did it in Teen Spirit and a lot of other songs if you listen
Probably my favorite Nirvana song. This or Lithium!!
My fav song by Nirvana
The one of the very few Nirvana songs that doesn’t have Kurt screaming his head off at some point.. lol
The history books have an abridged narrative.
Although record companies were still signing 3rd rate versions of Poison and Bon Jovi in 1989/90 the people I knew had been adding more alt bands into their musical diet for 4 or 5 years by the time Nirvana blew up with Nevermind. We still listened to Kiss, Guns 'n Roses, Aerosmith etc. but were also listening to Jane's Addiction, Faith No More, Tad, Chili Peppers, Fishbone, Primus etc. We'd already seen Alice in Chains and Soundgarden live, We'd already heard Bleach...... We just added it all in as a new ingredient, just as we had when NWOBHM came along or when Thrash Metal came along, or when Crossover came along, or when Funk Metal came along, or Grindcore came along.
I saw Nirvana live on the Nevermind tour (November 1991) - it wasn't the second coming of the messiah - it was another good hard rocking band that sounded like Cheap Trick mixed with the Pixies.
The story of "Grunge killing off Hair Metal" (a term that I never heard until 1993/94) has become the accepted narrative but if you get into the detail the story is more nuanced.
"His style is so... dirty"
Lex, that's part of why we call it grunge :)
Legendary track
If you want to hear where this iconic guitar riff came from, listen to the Killing Joke song "Eighties".
Not only the riff, but that guitar tone is sooo different from anything else nirvana has done.
I saw a video about this, there were 2 or 3 more Indie/New Wave songs with a similar riff before Killing Joke.
Yep listen to Life goes on by the Damned
@@markjenkins2262 That's right! I believe that it was from their 1982 album, which was a few years before Killing Joke's "Eighties".
@@SteveMenardDesignDXM that’s right Steve it’s on the Strawberries album.
Nirvana - Where did you sleep last night mtv unplugged...Nirvana's greatest perfomrance.
in a nutshell the song is about acceptance and for people to be who they are and not what others expect them to be. and the line "I swear I don't have a gun" is saying "hey, I won't attack you, I don't have a gun" as there is so much violence going on in the world
