Same here 👍🏻

[@TadRaunch]

IMO any Nirvana cover band should do Teen Spirit and do it proud. Forget this Radiohead "Creep" or Oasis "Wonderwall" shit. We're past that point. You can play Teen Spirit. It's a good song. It put Nirvana on the map. And the thing is, it's not just a testament to Kurt, but it is to what his life was at the time he wrote the song, and it's also like this major point for Dave Grohl like... on the global scale, Grohl literally drums himself into scene here. For people who were already fans of Nirvana or the huge wave that followed... to underplay Smells Like Teen Spirit really is folly. It's an amazing song. Is it Nirvana's best song? Yes. Yes it is. No, it's not your favorite Nirvana song, but that doesn't matter. Teen Spirit propelled Nirvana into the stratosphere and gave us everything to come. Even the absence of the song in their Unplugged sitting speaks volumes. So I say, to skirt around Teen Spirit is bullshit. It should be embraced. Maybe it's not-for you-Nirvana at its finest. But it was the time. The song channeled the essence of its time that few other songs do. And that should be celebrated.

@@J_Trask yea he’s unproblematic

[@crumbtember]

@@prankmaster0 everyone is problematic in some sense at specific points. We all r fed the same racist misogynist cis hetero normative garbage. That said, people r people and he isn't an outright bigot. Seems generally chill.

he comes across like a asshole to me

[@damnwicked239]

I don't listen to musicians because they're "unproblematic". There's lots of talentless people that aren't problematic. Give me problematic and talented. Not some unproblematic, pitchy wannabee rocker.

Justin the drummer will be fantastic. With the drums completely behind and over his head while still facing the crowd. If anyone can pull this off it’s you my friend. Cheers to Post and the other musicians. I watched this live it was unbelievably good. Everyone was going nuts in the live chat.

As a very big fan of Nirvana, I'll be honest and say..... It was definitely better than I was expecting, but then I wasn't expecting. It to be very good. He did a good job, nothing to be ashamed about, not even a little. I can dig it 🤘

My sentiments exactly.

I saw an interview with Butch Vig (Rick Beato's channel) and he said that Cobain would rip through his vocals with such intensity that he'd blow his voice out after a take or two. Sans amp

Post Malone was born that night when he went to a house party, and he was the first person to doze off. Everyone doodled on his face. When he awoke, he looked in the mirror and loved what he saw so much that he vowed to NEVER bathe again.

I'm an oldie, (51) and I've loved his music since he started. He's very diverse,

" OMG He's actually nearly pulling the trigger at this point" ... Nice one Justin...subtle burn, strong reference ;)

[@JoeTestosterogan]

The way you talk is absolutely insane and I love it.

[@wlfrndz8743]

Post is a HUGE grunge and rock fan

[@PotatoJonson]

Articulate, charismatic, knowledgeable as all fuck. Justin, this channel rips. Subscribed.

He did this for charity & got permission from Cobain's daughter.
