@@RubberBandPistol Playing all the instruments in the style and sound of MTV Unplugged, and aligning the vocal tracks. Thanks for listening!

[@RubberBandPistol]

@@RIOTEARTH where’s the vocal track from on this one?

[@RIOTEARTH]

@@RubberBandPistol Nevermind.

[@94dfk1]

I’m surprised they *didn’t* play this one. It was one of Kurt’s own favorites.

[@LordPadriac]

His favorite part of the song was the Sonic Youth tribute he included as the interlude with the rubber chicken, squeaky mouse toy and bop-it. Kurt Loder, who was running Unplugged at the time, let Nirvana get away with a lot that they would not let anyone before or since get away with, such as letting Kurt use a very tempered bit of distortion and an aftermarket, sound hole pickup in his acoustic and a tube amp, but bringing in a tech to play the sound effects with delays and choruses was way further than Loder was willing to stretch even to get Nirvana to do an Unplugged.

[@ChrisKliewer]

This has always been my favorite Nirvana song..glad Riot Earth mixed an acoustic version of it.

[@smartmart3095]

@@LordPadriac”before or since” I’ve seen bands get away with wayyy more lol

[@johncollins211]

I think he purposely picked songs that were less popular on radio or just in general. He definitely chose which ones he thought would sound best acoustic and from those he didn't play any of their big singles and brought out a no name band like the meat puppets and covered 3 whole songs that weren't even nirvana( which I'm sure mtv and his record label hated that at the time but now it's seen as a genius move from nirvana. Drain you isn't really meant for acoustic he probably felt the song wouldnt sound right without distortion and singing a lot softer. He loves the song he wouldn't do anything he felt would make the song sound like it's not on par of the original. All the songs nirvana did all sound just as good or better than studio version. He picked all the right songs of his to play acoustic ones he knew he could murder with his eyes closed. Then took a huge chance on the last song turns out Kurt is a fucking legend and a genius as he kills where did you sleep last night sealing his fate as timeless. If the song he covered is 100 years old it's already timeless and Kurt cemented the song never being forgotten along with Leadbelly.

[@BundaDestroyer590]

It was his favourite song of his. Mine too 😌

[@jaysunlickaraisin]

I've been playing this in my head for 20 yrs. Well done and thank you!

[@TenaciousTheSketcher]

This song played acoustically is unironically one of Kurts most Beatle-esque sounding songs.

[@RubberBandPistol]

Tell me you don’t know the Beatles without telling me you don’t know the Beatles.

[@TenaciousTheSketcher]

@RubberBandPistol I too know internet lingo.

[@7emhosiks167]

@@RubberBandPistol It is very Beatles though. All of Kurt's music is heavily inspired by the Beatles and their melodies.

[@RubberBandPistol]

@@7emhosiks167 while Kurt was definitely inspired by the Beatles, to say something as brash as “all of Kurt’s music was heavily inspired by the Beatles and their melodies” is just lazy. Kurt had many other influences that were far removed from the Beatles. Tell me, which Beatles songs do you think were the inspiration for this particular song, Drain You?

[@thisisobviouslynotmyrealname]

Nirvana has a completely different vibe, they might have been The Beatles of an alternative dark matter universe. Even when Kurt wanted to do a Beatles style song, like About A Girl, it sounded so tormented and strange...

[@garrethenderson9695]

Do lounge act please. These are great

Unsure if this is how these jams would actually sound if they actually did them acoustic, but you’re doing a really good job with your editing tricks. Cool stuff. 🤘

[@hal7088]

There’s someone called bunkbed coffin who does nirvana covers and sounds quite similar to Kurt. Check it out.

[@сопля-ь6т]

@@hal7088 I know this guy, he's really good

[@ControlPointDonelson]

I think its pretty accurate other than the key, they would play it a half step up from this current tuning (D standard) unplugged was entirely Eb tuning.

[@misterasterisco5217]

After listening to how the drums had to be played one can understand why they left this one out for the Unplugged. Still great work by Riot Earth, you have a new subscriber, greetings from Chile!

[@MrBuketman]

@@misterasterisco5217 The producer/sound tech was wise to advise him to use brush sticks on the drums.

It's amazing how many of Kurt's songs played without electric sound like classic rock from the 60s. He truly had something special going on

[@Man-ye4xm]

Kurt's voice is the definition of Grunge

[@mrlost470]

Yeah its raspy, kinda clean in some parts, emotional, loud, quiet, beautiful, and ugly at the same time. I think Layne from Alice in Chains is also a good singer of Grunge maybe even more than Kurt

[@Sventhepug]

@@mrlost470 nah Kurt is better plus Kurt also kind of started “grunge”

[@rodmunch7278]

That's slick: took Kurt's vocals from the LP, stripped Dave's backing vocals and concocted this breakfast-cereal shit...I like it!

[@Skygreen89]

"Concocted this breakfast-cereal shit." Now that's a phrase I'd like to adapt

[@SteffeN_85]

Kurt purposely didn't perform Drain You in 1994 MTV Unplugged so that someone in the future will do this version.

[@arsindmp9202]

I don’t think y’all realize how insane it is to make a vocal melody like this over this kind of riff

[@fabiomarcolin0]

Nice work. People asked for it on MTV Unplugged, it's nice to imagine he playing it. This version is awesome, but I'd like to see with the same battery used on MTV unplugged. THis won't sound like this, the battery is (satisfyingly, I admit) too strong, but not the same. Probably now with all this IA techs, someone could make. Could even make the video of it, using deepfake and IA gen stuff. If someone here find it or make it, please send me, I'm dying to see it.

[@NickyClassicBackArchives]

this would be perfect to play unplugged! they should have!

[@94dfk1]

I’m surprised they didn’t; it was one of Kurt’s own personal favorites.

[@AugustMedia]

Riot ...I've heard alot... alot of people tryyyyyy to get the 'exact' same Cobain sound with what they got, the recording even, the mic positioning, everything... you come the closest.

[@douglasferreiraambrosio2588]

Riot Earth, that’s awesome!!! Did you record the whole drums again or used some kind of plug in to convert the original drums to acoustic brushes?

I wish this was an official unplugged version cuz Kurt literally after recording this song played it at basically every live show they did cuz I believe it was his favorite song of his

[@mguix5]

Eu acho que ele não colocou por causa da pausa no meio da música. Se cortar perde a essência da música, ele provavelmente cortaria já que pulou o solo de pennyroal tea e deixou de tocar in bloom por causa do solo. Hj com esses vídeos nós sabemos que daria pra ter feito o solo acústico dessas duas músicas khakkk
