Nirvana - Incesticide - The Riffs

It's hard to rank Nirvana songs but for albums: 1. Nevermind 2. Incesticide 3. In Utero 4. Bleach And that says a lot because all albums and songs on them are stellar

[@yaelfrontana4600]

Incesticide is highly underrated but an excellent album

@@1968rus I don't think so, but probably the most important. When they recorded this album, Kurt felt he could be called like a musician, finally. Nirvana rocks!

His riffs were so simple yet so sophisticated, damn I love how he didn't want to overcomplicate things.

[@Rvench]

They were simple but they sounded awesome compared to some super intricate yngwie malmsteen BS

[@smarkmalark]

That’s what made them so catchy! Guitarists we’re always into theory and needing to know every chord ever making the blandest thing ever. Kurt just grabbed one and made whatever sounded good to him

Nirvana was the first group whose music I learned on guitar and to sing! These songs are fun to play and just rock out to with friends. As an educator, this is thee way to get started in the world of music. You learn the true freedom of musical expression playing wise, singing, and lyrical composition. There is no right or wrong.

[@Johnscompany]

That's true, NIRVANA it's a great choice for learning guitar song's

[@joeyarnold9372]

Me to couldnt have said it better myself

[@crawlingamongthestars3736]

It's funny how some of Kurt's riffs had an almost black metal quality to them, with the high, ringing, dissonant notes, and minor chord progressions, like Big Long Now or Aerozeppelin. Maybe just coincidence? I guess he was listening to some Celtic Frost though, and he did also like Black Sabbath, which obviously without them, black metal, and so many other metal genres, could never have come into being.

[@nvsoliveira]

David Grohl said once that was a Celtic Frost/Smithreens tape stuck in their van audio. He said that maybe Nevermind being so sweet/heavy has something to do with that.

[@joeyjo-joshabadu9636]

Anyone who appreciates filthy distortion should listen to Celtic Frost.

[@derekrobertshaw5067]

couldnt agree more. I've been listening to into the pandemonium for 30+ years. crazy. I'd never heard about the Celtic Frost/Smithreens tape. That's interesting. The Smithereens might be considered proto-poppunk. I can really see this.

[@ChaseThePinballWizard]

ohh, dude i fkn love black sabbath...

[@usualdosage7287]

The dissonance and noise came from punk music like scratch acid or die kreuzen. Kurt would've honestly hated black metal

[@german2501]

It's incredible how songs like Hairspray Queen, Beeswax, Paper Cuts, Negative Creep are harder than a metal song. The Kurt's voice and some riffs are very metal...

[@afrolund80]

He often talked about how he was growing tired of what he called the "verse, chorus, verse" format of songwriting in his genre. Hence Nirvana's song of the same name.

Mexican Seafood was your most accurate & well played (I think) - I got this back when it came out as my 1st Nirvana album.

@@albaniqn the only way you get good at playing by ear is locating the notes on your guitar yourself using trial and error. Take your guitar and listen to any nirvana song and just locate the notes on your guitar. Since most of his songs are just power chords, it should be pretty easy.

cant say ive ever heard a riff quite like big long now or mexican seafood. cobains style was truly unique i only wish i could understand his mode of thought towards wrighting so i could incorporate some of those elements into my own music. the melodies on top of his guitar style creates a mood that you just cant get anywhere else, i would have LOVED to see more stuff like incesticide or bleach. i think in utero was a nice in between of never mind and bleach mood wise. but will there ever be another band who captures this sound and puts it to use in thier own way? would be lovely to hear even if only for myself and no one else.
