[@darianbaxley8850]

Kurt did like the beatles

[@SimplyLimbo]

Rain Zimmer hes very skinny too.Almost no muscle. At the start of a concert this is not a problem, but u'll feel it afte a while. Look at Rammstein, those guys are big af, and they sound always awesome when they're live. Its amazing to see them live, (not just the performance and everything, but the music itself, and how they all make it happen like clockwork.

He;s imitating the way The Beatles used to play the guitar back in the 60's since this concert is in England.

It's so weird, I can listen to ANY 80s or 90s band, but Nirvana is the one that really takes me back in time. (not that I was around, so actually I have no right of speaking..)

[@ashleyphillips5477]

This song is the best Nirvana song, in my opinion. I love the lyrics. No one can write the way Kurt did. Kurt was an artist and a genius. his inner turmoil gave him the ability to write, perform, sing, play, inspire others. his lyrics were one of his greatest strengths. he didn't need someone else to compose a song for him, like a lot of artists today do. he had the thoughts in his head, and made them into great music. I write poetry to express my thoughts. I relate to how much Kurt loved to write out his thoughts

I know you didn't ask me, but I assume it is. I remembered hearing that in the studio, before it was released, someone asked Kurt, "What's this song about?" to which he replied, "It's about a girl." And that's where the name came from.

Here's the thing guys. We've kind of been through this phase of shitty music before in the 80's with hair bands. Now they werent as bad as what were making today but still not great. But after a decade they went away because of a huge rock band. My theory is that in the 2020's well have a resurrection of good ol rock and roll.
