How Nirvana Conquered the World (REUPLOAD)

Why was Nirvana’s second album so popular? Was it the quality of the album and its singles, Smells Like Teen Spirit, In Bloom, Come as You Are, and Something in the Way? The attitude of Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl? The timing of its September 1991 release? Or was it something hidden deeper beneath the surface?

[@MarcButEvil]

THATS WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR!!

[@whatWhoNow]

The main riff of Smells Like Teen Spirit was the first thing probably a million guitarists ever learned. The music video was the first time millions of people saw armpit hair on a woman wearing an anarchy tank top and something deep inside them stirred. It was also the first time millions of people ever heard the sheer power of Dave Grohl's drumming, like a triple distilled John Bonham. I was one of them and let me tell you, that video playing on MTV was a bigger deal than the fall of the berlin wall.

[@frisbeeshawn5356]

I'm trying to think of someone else that was a voice of a generation with so much depth and expression from the gut and heart .. .. Cobain's expression and the king of grunge is whats good about music .. .

[@MarcButEvil]

As a thank you to everyone for supporting me during this nightmare, I’m gonna try replying to a lot more comments than usual! And I’ll pin my favorite in one week. Also, to those out of the loop, this is a reupload! If you’ve noticed any odd phrases or photos, that’s why. The original video was deemed vaguely inappropriate by KZbin days after uploading, so I had to make some vague changes. (More details on my community tab and Twitter)

[@The_real_williamtv]

Why was the video reuploaded?

[@backpack_buddies93]

@The_real_williamtv It doesn't matter if I can watch the video again.

[@MarceloDurham]

Well.. ok ok I will watch it again for the fifth time. 😅😊 great video !

[@_Meadowlark_]

@@The_real_williamtv it was demonetized because it showed the Nevermind album cover (even though the image was censored)

[@diary007]

The single make or break thing is further proven by what happened with The Spin Doctors' 2nd album Turn It Upside Down, who's lead single was Cleopatra's Cat. Never heard of it? Well that's because Turn It Upside Down absolutely tanked with major thanks to that song being the lead single as of course people were expecting something fun, poppy, and bright like their last record Pocket Full Of Kryptonite and its singles, Little Miss Can't Be Wrong and especially Two Princes. But what we're greeted with is a song that starts with an awful flow with pacing issues throughout and thats starts with uncomfortable scatting being the only thing present for the first 30 seconds

[@wielkiarts6832]

Literally just asked what happened to this video, awesome!

[@MarcButEvil]

Hopefully here to stay 🤞

I read Nirvana and Marcbutevil, I clicked immediately and I asked myself, had I already seen this video? NEVERMIND, I watched it again and enjoyed it as much as the chocolate bar I ate while watching it. What a perfect combination👌

Awesome video! was lucky enough to have watched it earlier this week before it got deleted, but glad to see it back, I really like your style of making these, are you thinking of maybe expanding to making videos about more Bands? I'd love to see some about "The Cure" videos about them are rare on yt :(

[@ligmaballs2022]

@MarcButEvil, the band may have brought in Andy Wallace to mix Nevermind because Andy mixed Slayer's Seasons in the Abyss (1990). The band like Nevermind when it came out, according to Butch Vig, but perhaps due to Nevermind's unexpected smash success that the band disowned the production on the album. Azzerad's book was also probably compiled during this period when the band was in the midst of major success, so their annoyance with Andy's mixing was still present, and that bias was recorded in the book as Azzerad interview the band members, so his book may not be factual in that regard

[@mariokart9227]

I saw it when it first came out but the vid quality is so good we watch the reupload aswell

[@charlzthedrummer]

What’s really funny about these reuploads is that they circumvent censorship. If you know Marc and his channel, you know exactly what he wanted to say here. If not, it doesn’t affect you. Everyone wins. Thanks for using “reupload” in the title. You’re doing what KZbinrs should.

Would you ever consider doing a video about Car Seat Headrest (the band)? There’s hardly any content on it, and I’m curious about its history (also, I love your vids!!)

[@quickpawmaud]

You are probably not interested or won't even read this but could you make a video on Yellowcard? I got into them a few years ago from Drew Gooden talking about them a lot and I am from Jacksonville where they are from. Anyway they have a super weird story and tons of drama. They changed their lineup like 10 times (not a single one of the founding members are still in it 😂) and sued Juice World over a bullshit copyright thing and kept suing his estate after he died. It was pretty wild. I think it would make for a good one off video like your White Stripes video. Anyways I will still be here watching all your videos. Just thinking about Yellowcard a lot lately and going to see them and Third Eye Blind next month in Jacksonville.
