Nevermind: Chapter 5 - In Bloom

[@shkyrbty]

The doubling of the vocals was such a simple and effective way of filling out the sound of the track!

[@zimonslot]

hahaha... "John Lennon did it" "Oh, Okay.."

[@clay_freespirit]

Kurt once remarked, "John Lennon has been my idol all my life."

Until this video I never knew Dave did vocals on it and how I never spotted it is mad. Blends so well.

[@BarrySmoother]

1:16 Dave singing 😍

[@jeffh7211]

Dave is such an amazing rock drummer, hes solid all the time.

[@JcKramer1991]

"you could hear the bass and...*nods to the jam* and the drums. dave and kris had a great groove going." AWESOME

[@lukemurray5202]

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this but it never gets old

[@robstaaass]

Dude same!!!! It's like angelic lol. Their vocal tracks separated and then put together. Dave such an amazing singer himself And it's like most of us didn't even know he would sing it on this track lol. I didn't

[@markadairofficial]

Man, I really love that unmasterd version. I want it so bad!

[@beetlejuice4901]

2:17 Gave me chills

[@kommisar.]

I love this clip for two big reasons: It shows us just how well all these different components (drums, bass, guitars, vocals) mix so well together to create the final, magical song, and Krist explaining the mindset behind the band (or at least Kurt) in channeling their influences of both punk and pop by creating songs that were catchy and got people listening, but still had the heaviness driving them. And of course, it's also cool to watch Butch show us the recording magic and why he did what he did.

[@jeffh7211]

I love when they single out the vocal parts in the chorus , it sounds so strong , awesome

[@markoutwithmark]

...and you'll never be able to unhear Dave on this song again!

[@loaugust]

Oh, I am in awe of their beautiful voice and music....They really sound together--well-blended My..it's really music to the ear...

[@storrow10]

I feel like Krist and Dave love the opportunity to talk about their contributions to the band rather than being asked about Kurt all the time

[@RideMyBMW]

min 1:58 "Everytime he resisted on double tracking I used the John Lennon reference "John Lennon did it!"" Man! Imagine if Lennon had been alive to produce Nirvana...

[@CourtyardPigeon]

Without Krist and Dave, there would have never been a Nirvana.

[@owenhealey3101]

No shit

[@bluesfortheredsun]

funny. i remember nirvana existing, recording music, playing live and releasing their music before dave grohl joined. so whatever you wanted to say you are on the wrong.

[@gorkajames6475]

Perfect song

[@anidamsa4396]

Such an amazingly talented band. A masterpiece of a track. Wow 👋👌🙏❤️

[@johnnytheboy1384]

Double Kurt and double Dave is just fucken perfect

[@kiaviaa]

favorite band ever🖤🖤

[@BettercallSaul849]

i love this demonstration in this song about dave and kurt singing together. It shows us what can be if .. i just imagine kurt with krist and foo fighters now.

[@robstaaass]

This is so badass. This guy rules. I always wondered why the vocals sounded so cool on this song and many others by Nirvana I love it. Wondered my whole life lol funny how things come around full circle. I'm not a big music production head but I really appreciate it and i know a little bit..

[@JeffyD58]

Just awesome

[@artemis7114]

kkwillsaveus --- in bloom is about the emerging state of nirvana and how they were starting to attract people to the show who inside kurt detested. that is, the very people that used to beat cobain up were all of a sudden showing up at their shows. the song is a song of irony and sarcasm he's literally making fun of some of his listeners (unbeknownst to them). his opinions of axl rose were separate and yet related at the same time.

[@andrepereira744]

Nonsense. You know the song was written before they got big don't you? Obviously not...

[@jamesheath7601]

Dave and Kurt singing together - awesome

[@zyruemusic]

Butch Vig is the SHIT!!! an Excellent producer!!!! NIRVANA is an Excellent Grunge band right from my backyard here in Tacoma,WA

[@mattd5077]

Kurt was from Aberdeen, but close enough lol

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

Dave Grohl was clearly the magic ingredient here. Yeah they could have released this album with Chad Channing and it would probably have been a cult classic, but Dave Grohl elevated the band and made them a phenomenon. Not downplaying Kurt’s songwriting or Butch’s production, just saying Dave really rounded the band out. Kurt really lucked out when he poached Dave from Scream. Always loved his harmonies in the chorus too. If you listen to the version of In Bloom with Chad playing drums and no backing vocals, you can really hear that something important is missing.

[@josephalsamour6808]

my favourite nirvana song.

[@sneifert1968]

If I remember right, Butch had Dave play to a click track because he kept speeding up. Was mentioned in the sound city documentary. Just checked, my bad, it was Lithium

[@josemiguelcarrizo7373]

When I heard this record in 1991, I thought, is this heavy? Is this punk? Is this pop? Well, nevermind, I like it.

[@joeinreallifeful]

Awesome!

[@Largetangerine]

Wish there was a recording of the song without the doubled vocals. Don’t get me wrong, the double sounds amazing but those single tracked vocals are so raw

[@TRKTKO]

@RideMyBMW That is what Kurt meant by people over analyzing his lyrics they could just be words that rhyme either way it's Wonderful don't you agree?

[@Valandil00]

Fuck man their voices are like so good...they fit perfectly!

[@sublimingmule6356]

Anyone link the full video?

[@noahnnabuo5371]

I Love this

[@benrogersdevon]

It’s a great track isn’t it. I’m 36, wish I was a decade older so I could have been a teenager whilst Kurt was around with Krist, Dave and butch vig

[@analogasmr]

WTF!! I've never noticed that until now. lmao! That scard the complete shit out of me!!

[@kkwillsaveus]

Thanks, I knew it was taking the piss out of people who didn't know what Nirvana were about, just thought Axl Rose asking if they could go on tour together was part of this, ie because Axl claimed to like them it showed they got the wrong audiences.

[@MrDarkHawk]

if i had a band....it would be "a wish came true"if i did it with butch vig he rocks

[@giannaluva65]

wow i always thought dave and kurt were saying dont know what it mean, but they are saying knows not what it means.

[@davidgarrick-j6o]

i want butch as my producer 🤩👂

Still sounds massive

[@VandepoelM]

Butch, please remix this album into atmos.

[@mikem.6761]

Incestiside was an album more like with the Kurt's sound. Imagine nevermind with an incestiside sound. Kurt just wanted to record one voice, one guitar and done. Pretty punk recipe.

[@RideMyBMW]

is In Bloom about Axl Rose? - kkwi Could be, I always thought Teen Spirit was bout GnR ... "An albino (Duff), a mulato (Slash) , a mosquito (Axl)..."

[@ballsforbrains1953]

RideMyTruck thats kinda cool you interpreted it that way but i dont think so lol

[@DiazdelVivar]

They called it "pop songs" but I've never hear a "pop comercial song" like this. even with clean guitars doesn't sounds like a happy chatchy tune... All nevermind sounds so strong and powerfull... you could say that of Bon Jovi... which uses lots of distortion guitars, but at the end of the day, it's a nice & sweet ballad... like "Carry" or something... Nirvana sounds like power rock all the time... no matter if has distortion or not (like come as you are for example; it sounds powerfull without distortion)

[@andrepereira744]

Don't want to sound rude but you are wrong about what is or what can be considered Pop music. Pop music dosen't mean that got to be something like Katy Perry or Rhianna or even other thing that play now on radio,that sounds like others 100 musics made before. That is one of the beautiful things about Nevermind,the originality of the songs. Also dosen't mean that got to be happy catchy tune,although that "in Bloom" is very upbeat music wise (imo) and definitely catchy like everything on Nevermind (the amount of records sold worldwide speak for itself). Butch,is talking about the melody (in the music and voice),song writing,music structure,great compelling singing and definitely catchiness,that gave"In Bloom" and almost everything in Nevermind a big pop sensibility underneath all that distortion. Just compare with Bleach or In Utero and you will understand what i'm saying.

[@DiazdelVivar]

@@andrepereira744 also Led Zeppelin sold idk how many millions of records and I wouldn't say their songs are "catchy tunes" in bloom is more dark than happy... but dark music (or whatever it is, but not happy) can be famous and successfull too... if it's good music. I wouldn't describe Pink Floyd as catchy also... or Bethoven's moonlight sonata... walking on sunshine, that's a catchy song (i don't like it very much) Nevermind is more clever than Bleach... Polly and About a girl, could be Nevermind songs... I guess there's no a clear line that that says if a song is "comercial" or "catchy"

[@andrepereira744]

DiazdelVivar That's what i meant,pop music dosen't need to be something silly,happy and hollow. I respect your opinion,but Led Zeppelin sure got some catchy tunes,imo. I doubt they would have sold millions of records had it not been so. Not everyone is an"expert in music",or even,knows to play an instrument,to really know and appreciate the work behind those instruments being played. Most people just like (or not) the songs. The same goes to Pink Floyd. Most Nirvana's music are 3,4 minutes songs with just 2 diferent parts. That by itself is also a mark from the pop world. They are easy to the ear because of that and because of their "catchyness". Again, I doubt Nevermind would have sold millions of records had it not been so. They even labeled their sound like "The Beatles meet Black Sabbath",because they ( or Kurt) knew that underneath all that distortion there was lots and lots of melody,especialy on Nevermind. And having melody on songs is always more appealing and easy to digest to most of the listeners. There's still melody on Bleach (and in In Utero,btw),but overall,the sound is more"dirty",with that metalish approach (except for About a girl,like you mentioned,and well)and not so catchy for the ear,for most listeners. I just don't consider catchy as the same thing as comercial. But its all good.

[@DiazdelVivar]

@@andrepereira744 I understand what you say... and of course Nirvana is full of melodys, just like Led Zepp and Pink Floyd... but I wouldn't describe Stairway to Heaven as a "catchy tune" it's a great song and ppl doesn't need to know why they like it... they just press play and they like what they hear, which is the whole song, with everything... they like that "eveything" even if they're not aware of what they like... it's everything, including the voice... and the voice is the only thing they can sing so maybe they think they like it because of the voice melody, but it's not true. they like the whole song and they don't know why. Come as you are for example, there's a clear riff... that riff is a melody, a powerfull melody, then Kurt starts singing and they're hearing 2 melodys... and the drums gives the rythm, the beat...etc etc... that's why many ppl, start mimic the drums when they hear that song for example... or they start dancing... since they don't know why they like it, they can not say "I like it because of the voice melody" cause if you isolate the voice, would sound very empty, and they wouldn't like it. there're many examples of great songs where the voice melody is pretty flat (idk the exact word) it doesn't moves much... almost the same note, but it's perfect for that song. (like Lucy in the sky with diamonds) Reality is that the voice is just another part of the song, and it's not the most important part. the term "catchy" is... well is not clear. but I wouldn't say "Another brick in the wall" is a catchy tune!! _we don't need no education_ 👈 is that a catchy tune?? anyway, many ppl like that song, and it's not because that melody; it's the whole song... a good melody is a good melody and it doesn't have to be catchy" but sure, ppl like a good melody, but most times, they like the song, music. a song is music. just sing the 1st verse of 'another brick in the wall' *acapella* do you know the words?? just do it once, please, you'll understand what I mean. we don't need no education we don't need no thoughts control no dark sarcasm in the classroom teacher leave the kids alone
