Nirvana - Radio Friendly Unit Shifter [Studio Demo]

[@noodles41]

I was always kind of surprised Radio Friendly Unit Shifter wasn't the opener for In Utero

[@poisonfruit7357]

it's sort of like enough space by the Foo's isn't the first song on TCATS

[@skighte4256]

the latter half of in utero was where all the fun and energetic ones are

[@thewedge8823]

this should have been the first song on In Utero so powerful

[@dcoop1422]

​@Abe Aure Its so interesting. First 60 of 61 In Utero gigs it was RFUS first. Its unbelievable the 61st and last was not.

[@NickManEA]

@@dcoop1422 well it was 2nd, they used to do this on some other shows too, play a jam for fun at first and then move on to their setlist

[@zimonslot]

Scentless apprentice should have been the album opener...

[@alexmason6191]

@@dcoop1422 they did more than 60 concerts while touring for In utero?Damn that's crazy, gotta be exhausting

[@omarbahrour]

I fucking love this track, comes in and hits so hard

Hate your enemies. Save your friends. Find your place. Speak the truth. ♥

[@camerondutton3828]

i like the fourth one...my favorite #, 4. such a complete number and the most important thing on the here list.

[@Dravenscrypt]

hate...hate your enemies

[@DrDarkYoutube]

Could have been one of the insciptions at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi (like "know thyself").

[@pEDRoLinN]

Isn't "Spin the the truth"?

[@gavinweyant5777]

It was originally called Nine Month Media Blackout

[@LokiStrikeArmy]

Yes... Indeed....

[@yuppiecake9097]

That's a great title.

[@mirata7748]

also punky new wave number

[@nickhartman6372]

kinda wish he'd kept that title to be honest. Kurt attacking the media has become one of my favorite things, he was ahead of his time for sure.

[@alanmurray5963]

And Gallons of rubbing alcohol.....was originally called Devalued American Dollar Purchase Incentive Track !!! Another catchy Cobain song title...NOT!!!!!

[@pacmanfan1214]

This song was first performed live in 1990. :D

[@luucas1882]

In The Off Ramp 11/25

[@numaster00]

​@luucas1882 but it was cut out in the recording

[@numaster00]

​@luucas1882 but it cuts out in the recording

[@TheOstgard]

The breakdown (1:53) of this is just incredible. Very powerful. Simplistic drumming, but the power cord chorus with the pulled breakdown is phenomenal. I'm glad he found lyrics to fit it perfectly. Hate your enemies...save your friends.

[@kurt5000yh]

you'd be surprised because ALOT of in utero songs were writting around the time nevermind came out. Like dumb, pennyroyal tea

[@mikesgarage18]

Yeah and seems like they were writing pieces of the 4th album during In Utero Times... And it was gonna be more experimental and less formulated.

[@stitchgrimly6167]

WAY before Nvm came out. The songs you mentioned as well as RFUS, All Apologies and Sappy have their roots in 1990 or earlier. Sappy was written in 1987. Even Rape Me was written (bar the bridge) about 6 months before Nvm came out.

[@Foxshore]

If someone can get me the vocal track from Radio Friendly Unit Shifter on In Utero and Token Eastern Song on With The Lights Out and put them on these versions, I will be very very happy lol

[@ChinacatSunflower0]

+Wooden Whale Did you ever get the vocal from those versions / and upload them ?

[@WCWThunderRosa]

This demo kicks ass!

[@mikesgarage18]

This rocked so hard my glasses fell off my face

[@DiMx618]

Amazing, I love this version!

[@Felipe-rn6oj]

Amo esta cancionnnnn suena mejor que el album en estudio

[@samhywell]

Dave and the whole band used to smoke lots of weed (along with funky mushrooms) There's nothing cooler than been a foo fighter!

[@nickhartman6372]

they smoked mushrooms eh?

[@thetriumphofthethrill2457]

As good as the album version. The sheer power of the track highlights Cobain's mastery of Rock songwriting and shows why the group were the last important Rock band.

[@zimonslot]

ok.

[@SonikJesus]

this one is a fraction of the album version

[@mauriciosanchez813]

thats truth

[@NotAnAstronaut2k]

Oh please, they were at the right place at the right time but Radiohead is the last important rock band

[@ob0-china]

[@miguelfsierra8111]

❤sublime

[@pendingpendant]

Where did you get these recordings? Are they hidden tracks from With The Lights Out or from bootlegs?

[@patrickosullivan7783]

from bootlegs

[@Sonicshadow8989]

🔥🔥🔥

[@JoaoCarlos-zt7vb]

use uma vez e destrua

[@russellleezumbaumiii1760]

It's just not the same without the loud ass feedback in the beginning

[@acidangel3158]

Money is not our god

[@irotinmyskin]

what is wrong with me?

[@get__some]

what do i think?

[@jeffcat4598]

dolan pls

[@BreakingGlass77]

the info says recorded 1/1/91, that can't be right.

[@fartsfudcjk5475]

It actually is right, that's what's so cool about it. There's an all Apologies from the same session. Kinda crazy to think about.

[@Ariel64a]

and the first time they played radio friendly unit shifter was in 1990

[@Sliver90]

Ariel64a link video

[@WCWThunderRosa]

They wrote Bleach songs in 87-89, Nevermind songs 89-91, and In Utero songs in 90-93. You have to have songs written before you can make an album of them

[@alexsss281]

That guitar the way better

[@numburger]

This song just isn't right without the poly chorus intro

[@suebugsbooo]

Lol why does Dave look stoned he never smoke or drank? Lol well he smoked but idk lol not weed? Lol he sucks anyways now. Being a foo fighter and all.?
