I am not a cover band type fan. However, I saw these guys at bike fest 2016. I sat there in silence for a bit. These guys are great. No joke. Being a gen Xer, it was odd to see. The movements even mimicked Kurt. You guys are awesome. I enjoyed it and very much appreciated it.
I just saw them tonight and they put on an exceptional show. The best you can get today if you never got a chance to see Nirvana live. They capture the sound and essence well. Very high energy and they show much love for the material. I would love to see them again soon.
i like it :) and to everyone who is saying they're bad, you're wrong. these guys are giving people who never got to see Nirvana, a chance to experience what it might have felt like. So stop spreading hate, and just let people do what makes them happy!
Yeah cool that doesn't mean you should imitate an artists in every aspect of their life (especially when their dead) I mean get your own personality and stop leaching off of others how fucking dull must your imagination be if you have to try and be nirvana while covering nirvana, I have no problem with nirvana covers but this is just embarrassing.. It's also disrespectful to dave and krist I mean let's put things in perspective, How would you feel if your friend committed suicide than you started having some random person imitating that friend in every way for the money and entertainment of others
Wow! You are SO off the mark. FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY! What's wrong with you? I am a huge NIRVANA fan and hate the fact that I will never hear all these great songs performed live again. Can't you understand that?We have an original band and we write our own music. We do this as a TRIBUTE, RESPECT, FOR THE LOVE, comprende?And you have no idea what Dave and Krist feel or think.
I don’t care. I never got to see Nirvana. I love the music. I’m looking forward to hearing them. Tribute bands are fun, especially if the band isn’t around anymore.
SmellslikeNirvana are awesome. I seen them last night and they kicked ass. The other stuff that was not Nirvana material was top notch as well. Keep on rocking guys...
@@kevinleonard2368 that’s why you buy cheaper guitars off Facebook marketplace to only play the last song that’s what I did .... that’s also what Kurt did he didn’t smash what he actually used unless he was just shitty
You guys need to do a Canadian tour/show, I'd pay good money just to have a replicated experience, I absolutely love nirvana, but was born in 96. Id pay good money to see these guys, this guy sounds 9/10 like Kurt, certain words and notes he sounds 10/10 like him. Great job guys
I hate to say something negative so let's call it constructive criticism; The guitar is so prominent in Nirvana songs. Here it's much too buried in the mix. I will check out the 2015 promo.
Very true to Nirvana. The bassist is pretty tall. The drummer sings backing vocals. Left handed guitar playing. Im sure they cant afford to trash their gear after every show, that would be the only thing missing.
My girl my girl dont lieeeeeeee to meeeee tellll whereeee did you sleeep last night!!!!? In the pines in the pines where the sun dont ever shine Ill shiverrrrrrrr the whole night through
If your gonna do a nirvana cover. You NEED to do the power chords right with just the index finger and the ring finger But still this is cool and I love it
"Do you did something on the face to be more similar to Kurt?" gonzalo herazo...NO, I'm just naturally this handsome and born a Lefty too! Thanks! Haha! j/k
kat dad Thank you. That is great constructive criticism. This video was from our 3rd show ever and we were still fine tuning our tribute. Yes, energy level is always on our minds imitating NIRVANA!
This isn’t smells like Nirvana The real smells like Nirvana has different members. This is a different smells like Nirvana. There’s actually two of them.
You're right! We (Las Vegas SLN) started a year before the Chicago SLN and had this video on TH-cam for over 10 years ago. They should've done their due diligence to find there was already a SLN in Vegas. We changed our name to NirvanaMania. Vegas version has lefty Kurt, Chicago version doesn't.
Damn, these comments are fucked. If you guys want something done "right", why don't you go out and do it yourself? That's probably because you can't. & why you're writing something shitty behind a computer, while they're booked at the Brooklyn Bowl. People like you are so irritating. That being said, excited to see you guys on the 9th!
Smells Like NIRVANA tribute band i have to say its good,yous have done a great job,but with a band that has a front man like kurt its not something i would pay to see,kurt was nirvana,without the what the hell will he do next ,passion,energy,smashing up things etc its just live karaoke,bands like the doors(jim morrison) jimmy hendrix ,joy division (ian curtis) etc cant be immated no matter how much yous play like them,its lost a massive thing that only they could give to the crowed,but yous are good at it no matter what i say.but its not fulling the whole left by the original genuis that is kurt cobain live,not 1 bit.butas iv said yous are good.
Perfect example is All Apologies. I agree. Tribute bands should play the parts exactly. He does not do that in the verse then totally speeds up and plays on his crash. Not how Dave plays it dude!
suhijo, why do you HATE this so much? I don't get it. It's just for fun and entertainment purposes. Just keeping the music and memory of NIRVANA alive and in the public consciousness. NIRVANA will never perform again.
Because you've said it, Nirvana dissapear, why wasting your time in mimic them? release your music, and promote that. I kinda hate people with real oportunities, money, instruments, and instead they choose this....nothing personal.
We've been releasing our own music for years...after awhile you'll get frustrated by the lack of enthusiasm and it starts to feel like a waste of time. Paying tribute to NIRVANA has been a blast, and that's why we do it. Have you played any gigs with YOUR original band, promote the hell out of the gig, BEG your friends to come, then you play to 25 people...gets old quick?
Yes I did, the rock scene here is really nule but we survive few years, and went on hiatus by disatisfaction with our female singer we had 4 in a period of 2 years. Right know I'm with no band but I'm getting back to the music. I do it because I love it, creating, playing, for me is all about that. I will recruite session "musicians". My intention is to make music, and yes I know what are you talking about. But no way I will ever get on stage and play in a tribute band. You guys are ina better situation, but anyway.
OMFG guys. It's a tribute band. They do covers and dress like them. that's the POINT
OMFG. It still sucks.

You don’t like cover bands because you’re a yuppie
Freaking amazing! Never got a chance to see nirvana. I am 45 so this was my youth! Man, I'd love to see these guys! They are a spot on!
Glad you liked it George. Most people only comment the negatives they feel so thank you.We love NIRVANA music and try our best to capture them.
Kevin Leonard coming to see you guys in January in Oklahoma, really excited.
It's awesome he's even playing a left handed guitar. That's commitment my friends.
there is so much hate in the comment section it's ridiculous. Don't like it? Don't listen. Keep doing your thing guys. Play Sappy please!
ikr!

Exactly right 🌼
Blueskythinking they are a cover band, that’s the point dumbass
I have yet to hear anyone who sounds REMOTELY close to Kurt but,,,, they’re coming to my city maybe I’ll check em out
Shaun Morgan from Seether does a damn good cover of "You know your right"
I wanna see them I think are coming to Virginia beach soon
Omg the singer sounds so close to Kurt! That's crazy :o
...and he's left-handed like Kurt
AMAZING BAND RIGHT HERE. I WASN'T ALIVE TO SEE KURT AND AND THIS IS CLOSE ENOUGH.

Do they destroy the stage at the end of each show?
No, we can't afford to buy new gear after every show
Lmao! Good answer

They need to cover the first hole album,since curt wrote that album I always wondered how it sound if nirvana performed it🤔
These guys are in okc at the diamond ballroom tonight? Should I go? Is Kurt's distortion there?
will see you at the house of harley this sunday!!! can't wait!!!!

Nirvana UK is the best Nirvana tribute I've seen
Frank Schock listen to Nervana
Where did he get that shirt?
Probably online
They sell the Smells like Teen Spirit shirt on Amazon.
Never knew Steve Irwin was into Nirvana, Kurt would love this!

Very true to Nirvana. The bassist is pretty tall. The drummer sings backing vocals. Left handed guitar playing. Im sure they cant afford to trash their gear after every show, that would be the only thing missing.
Smells Like NIRVANA from Las Vegas are now known as NIRVANA MANIA. New 2017 promo coming soon.

If your gonna do a nirvana cover. You NEED to do the power chords right with just the index finger and the ring finger
But still this is cool and I love it
Agreed the notes with a normal bar chord are a bit off otherwise
Nirvana never die
Damn, that's amazing.
2021?
It’s great the name came from weird Al’s parody of teen spirit
Jesus. He even looks like Kurt
Te hiciste algo en la cara para ser mas parecido a Kurt?
"Do you did something on the face to be more similar to Kurt?"

Julio, what's wrong with you man? Look up the definition of "Tribute" online and see if you can understand what this video is.

ikr "featuring the real left handed Kurt" wtf hes dead sorry to tell you guys that
Read it again. You're wrong.
He sounds nothing like kurt he sounds like hea trying too hard 🤣 hes way off key as well kurt was not
Horde of Torment!!!!
BUT DAVE IS LEFT HANDED
That's ok that Dave is Lefty...more important for Kurt to be Lefty than Dave Righty.

Who is that deaf person had the courage to describe them THE BEST NIRVANA COVER BAND IN THE USA? AHAHAHAHA what a joke...
Guitar need to get turnt up

I like but I prefer NirvanaUK not gonna lie
That's ok. We know NirvanaUK. Good tribute band. Some people prefer Nirvana Mania so it equals out.
Nirvana Mania is really cool because the singer sounds like Kurt and he plays left handed just like him.
This is so gimmicky and awkward
Blueskythinking I love it
I can do a whole spot on every single thing on the bleach albums. Sounds good but you should try original music
That's why they call them a tribute band.
those drums suck
How so? Like specifically?
Finally someone pointed it out
Perfect example is All Apologies. I agree. Tribute bands should play the parts exactly. He does not do that in the verse then totally speeds up and plays on his crash. Not how Dave plays it dude!
In my opinion nirvana uk are better
Get a new drummer
Yuck
Heart Shaped box is much better. Same. This band was a waste of money he can't even remotely sing like kurt
These kind of videos should have available multiple thumbs down button

Magno Rodrigues dont see your videos.
Fuckin sad...
Don't quit ya'll day job.
This is so ridiculous to try to imitate Kurt by even wearing the same clothes as he did. Kurt would turn over in his grave.
Raunchola It's a TRIBUTE, meant to be an impersonation of NIRVANA. We cram NIRVANA's music down peoples throats. Thank you.
Ill never understand tribute bands. You have the talent, start your own band instead of being someone else
make your own music, dont leach off of others. your all just bad actors
