Introduced my kids to Nirvana just like my dad introduced me to the Beatles. Life comes full circle

[@idontwantahandle436]

My dad got super excited when he heard I listened to them 😁😱

[@vedshimpi1536]

Just make sure they don't introduce their kids to BTS or 1D

[@jeremywall7206]

I get it lol although not an equal image or feel. Kinda like saying, here idolize drugs and depression, and by the way dont let the pain and suicide creep in lol shew. I love nirvana, but it's not the message I want my kids to adopt, even though I dont think it translated negative to all. The Beatles were a stretch for role models at times but for the most part conveyed happiness and peace, nirvana not so much, self loving, and push back against norms, at all cost, just very depressive in all the best ways if you can understand it, many didnt.

[@MidniteSon]

Man this song takes me back. Kurt was a genius in how he wraps the guitar and emotions of his life in his songwriting.

[@darrylatkinson6007]

Yall realize these lyrics r all pulled out of his ass right?!!

[@pinzinkinzin4066]

@@darrylatkinson6007 even though this song is one of the more simple ones out there by Nirvana in a lyrical sense, the effortlessness, even unconsciousness with which he still makes beautiful puns and contradictory statements is fantastic. and even then there are subtle hints hidden about heroin: "I got so high, I scratched 'till I bled" (heroin makes you itchy), "I'm on a plain" (pretty self explanitory), "my mother died , every night" which may be a reference to the worries Kurt's mother had for him (or vice versa). overall this is a song that is much more lighthearted and relatively optimistic, with Kurt showing self love while also feeling guilty about it. you'd almost say he wrote this while high, but we'll never know.

[@saints3824]

The fact he played guitar as lead and sang on pitch always surprises me . He is a legend 🙌

[@matt-SonsofLamech]

@@gitarcikaii he dont have such a lead parts in his songs,they stand perfectly with just the bass and one guitar even if they later bring Pat to the band his work was more to give strongness to the kurt parts,there wasnt a real lead part going on

[@-S.F.K.]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@matt-SonsofLamech First, if you’re gonna have a fair argument and you wanna seem like an individual who knows what he’s talking about, have some proper grammar and punctuation man. Like the lack of apostrophe at don’t, and the fact that don’t is there at all instead of didn’t, you seem like someone who knows nothing. But that’s besides the point, you don’t need to be a fancy solo writer to be considered lead. I don’t know where you heard that, but that’s not what lead is. The fact that the majority of their career didn’t feature another guitar player, and Kurt did play solos (though quite mediocre), means he was the lead guitarist.

[@HeyImBrim]

You learn a lot about who Kurt was from the lyrics in this song. What an incredible writer.

+xMrCory I get that and know he said that but he also essentially hated himself meaning he hated compliments and brushed them off, at the induction into the hall of fame his mother said "he would say he wasn't proud but he would be in truth" I think his mother is a reliable source for this 😂

[@guydeborde3222]

+Dylan obvious messages when he said they meant nothing was to throw the posers off...only posers say that..anyone who grew up on this and worshipped it knew..and as we get older we can see things even he consciously couldn't express any other way than to write the way he did.

[@corioliseffect1204]

I'm confident that Nirvana is the best, and most important rock band since Nirvana. Other, perhaps more impacting acts in rock history exist (e.g.; The Beatles, Elvis, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeplin, Eagles, Credence, etc.), but you have to go back to BEFORE Nirvana to find them. Since Nirvana, we've had nothing of this magnitude.

[@reactivelemur846]

5 years ago and this is still true af

[@stephenhembree9562]

I have a theory on why so many people dislike this concert. 2 actually. 1. Kurt seemed super focused and because of that the songs sound so much like there album versions. ( With exception of Love Buzz ) 2. They just don't like Nirvana and love to thumb down and talk shit about them. Me personally I love this concert, but it's not in my top five favorite Nirvana concerts. It's no where nearly as nasty and raw as Rome91, The Paradiso or the Paramount just to name a few. And those raw, nasty and energetic live performances are what I love most about Nirvana. To me that's what set them apart from everyone. But this is still absolute greatness. Fuck they played Lounge Act. That's reason enough to love this concert....Hardcore fans will understand where I'm coming from. ( I hope)

[@javiermoralesmusic]

Stephen Hembree I understand man 😥

Lee McQueen I'm not sure who they are but there are 128 of them for certain....No, i really didn't mean dislike. I love this Concert. It's not my favorite Nirvana concert but they're all fuckin amazing. Without this concert we wouldn't have imo the best live version of Lounge Act. I like it much better than the studio version. My favorite is at the Paramount.

[@polnoeceloe]

Kurt's genius is some piety from past lives, so the level of Nirvana cannot be repeated, just like other great groups. Great music cannot be compiled mechanically from a set of some terms; it, like beautiful flowers, always arises unexpectedly where it was not expected. Technically, many can play the same way as Nirvana, but almost no one is able to compose and perform such songs. They are both melodic and powerful in presentation and filled with great sadness. Another distinguishing feature of great talent, when he plays, it is clear that he is completely immersed in music, he does not think about himself or the public. It is impossible to learn this self-forgetfulness, this is talent, it either exists or does not exist.
