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.

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.

Fantastic taste in headphones there Mr Hawkins, I love a good open back Grado 🤙

I thought this was going to be a complete disaster when I saw the video title, but my god he actually pulled it off. Granted, this is an easy song to play, but he played it and sung it well, adding a bit of himself into the mix. The rougher, sludgier vibe in this performance works well with the song, as does his voice.

This is spot on. Generally I think Nirvana shouldn't be covered - for many reasons, not least Kurt Cobain's persona ingrained in each tune that I feel makes them untouchable BUT! If they are going to be covered, this is the way to do it. Everything about this is bona fide.

The main persona anyways

I watched post do this ages ago and its still one of my fav. covers.. The rest of the Nirvana Songs he covers he covers sensationally well too. He should defo play and release Rock Music he's better at it and has natural flare. Defo a great performance ..its hard to forget once you've heard it ....Seether does great Nirvana Covers too 👌

First interview i saw with him he did a megadeth cover. Earned my respect immediately. Also, he is a great human being.

My two favourite songs of post are feeling Whitney and leave they have a country feeling to them

[@righty-o3585]

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.

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.

I first heard this concert while on my honeymoon. We were back at the hotel for the night and my wife was ready for bed but I found the video so I went out on the balcony and watched it with an oceanfront view. Still watch it once or twice a year. Best Nirvana rendition Ive ever seen.

He's actually pointing at the donate button on the top of the screen. This was for charity. He did it for all his song.

I saw this in lockdown. It's a great gig.
