NIRVANA - Smells Like Teen Spirit (HD) (Live at the Paramount 1991)

[@iliketoscream8487]

All musicians should be like Kurt. Not showing off. Not caring if he plays badly. Just enjoying the music he is making.

[@EarendilUndomiel]

"Not showing off" I can agree with. "Enjoying the music" I can also agree with, but "Not caring if he plays badly"? Consert tickets are expensive, you should get what you paid for. Nobody goes to a consert to hear something they could have done better in their own basement. Not that this has anything to do with this performance, but a musician should play well.

[@DKChubs]

They were basically a punk band, so all of those things kinda make sense. The records might have made them sound 'bigger' than they actually were, but when you get right down to it, they were punks.

[@EarendilUndomiel]

He didn't kill himself because he became mainstream, he killed himself because he was manic depressive. The fame may have had something to do with it, but if he was only upset about his mainstream popularity he would've quit music, not killed himself. Believe me, the human mind has to go through a lot of terrible things to resort to suicide. Kurt was a tortured soul, and I think it's an insult to his memory to say that he killed himself because he became "mainstream".

[@EarendilUndomiel]

Plus, Nirvana was never bad in concert, if they sounded bad it was because of PA problems, not the band's playing.

[@iliketoscream8487]

Kurt was not actually as depressed as the media made out to be. Dave Grohl said that Kurt was actually quite a happy person

[@michaelax3025]

Kurt you are frozen in time at age 27.. Its hard to believe next month you would've been 51yrs.old Your missed more then I could ever find the right words to express.... It's 2018 kurt and your music remains and influences musicians to this very day!

[@charlieburnham5611]

Its weird watching this, because, remember, Kurt was 24 at this time. Its strange thinking that all the 24 year olds I know are all just dumb kids who are still naive, but here Kurt plays with such raw emotion and has some dark wisdom that you forget he's pretty much still a kid, or a very young man. To me especially though, since he hasn't been alive in my lifetime, he seems also like a legend or hero because in my world he never really existed and these songs are just kind of things left behind. It might sound a little bit corny, but its why he has such an impact on me because I often forget that this is just a young man playing a guitar and not some kind of myth or fantasy hero. In short- Kurt is cool, go Nirvana.

[@Tipi83]

What a great comment dude! Respect =)

[@charlieburnham5611]

***** thanks man

[@nerfret]

He will always be remembered young. No one can picture him being old, because he died young. He was a symbol of youth, he took everything kids were feeling and crafted it into musical masterpieces. Something only he could do at the time.

[@1337Pwn4g3]

I think you are underestimating many 24 year olds and severely overestimating Kurt. If he hasn't been alive in your lifetime, then you are under the age of 21. I don't think you can judge 24 year olds while you're so young.

[@marywollstonecraft4380]

Uummm you fool, they're not. Floppy Rodrigo​

[@FloppyRodrigo]

You fucking neophyte. They are together. They might not be touring right now, or recording new material, it's just that Kurt is dead. Bands sometimes don't record or go on tour for up to 20 years without breaking up. Remember the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction a couple of years ago? Of course you don't, because you're probably a 13 year old poser.

[@marywollstonecraft4380]

1 - No, I'm not a poser. 2 - I was born in the 90's. 3 - The band broke up when Kurt died and Dave formed another one called "Foo fighters". 4 - You must feel so brave insulting people behind a screen...grow up. Floppy Rodrigo​

[@FloppyRodrigo]

Just because a band goes decades without a new album or tour, that doesn't mean they've broken up. Age of Electric got back together after 17 years of hiatus.

[@melissawells1099]

David has to be one of the greatest drummers!!! U feel it in your soul....

[@Rippersauc3]

This in my opinion is the best concert, because the fact that there wasn't any fails in all the songs they performed, they got all the songs, and the notes perfectly with no stutters, or Kurt being high. Not saying that they suck on all the other concerts, just saying that they were perfect in this one.

[@carswithcolin]

yeah and it sounds a lot better when its not in Em tuning, my opinion though. this is the only concert i believe they tuned up to F which sounds a lot cooler than tuning down

[@MrBurningRock]

***** I think the reason they started tuning to Em instead of F is because it got harder and harder for Kurt to hit those really high notes.

[@elvicare35]

+Jace Viets Drumming Well, nobody's ever perfect, and imperfections can add a nice touch of realism once in a while.

Fun Fact: Kurt hated this song so much after playing it so much that they usually played it this fast or faster just to get it over with.

[@blackflarez]

Even tho this is 1991 the same year that it came out.

[@hobbitpsi]

uh yeh. if memory serves from back then they played it normal for the first couple shows then started playing it faster just to get it done with for the fans

[@blackflarez]

Well this goes for alot of songs, He didn't really hate it but he hated how people knew it as the only nirvana song.

+hobbitpsi actually you do know the audio if this is sped up because they don't want a copyright strike Lol

This video isn't sped up though. if it was the tunings of the drums all the way to the bass and guitar would be way higher. This is honestly how they played this song most times live.

Kurt. A sensitive kid that cared too much. Overflowing with passion and compassion. And to dull the pain, he fed himself heavy doses of apathy. In trying to fight his nature, he became a walking contradiction in many ways. When you fill your head with enough contradiction, the only thoughts that make sense are the persistent, simple, logical statements. Creative artist aside, he should not be considered a role model, but rather a living reminder of what happens when you emotionally, mentally, and physically choose the path of least resistance. “He became a star and influenced millions!” yeah and he couldn’t even enjoy it; for an empath to take in the joys of stardom, performance art, fatherhood, etc, they must also take in the sorrow, the shame, the rage. He chose apathy, and clung onto it for life, and then it killed him. Not giving af is a tool, not a lifestyle. Kinda like being an ahole, sometimes you gotta be an ahole, but you don’t wanna make a lifestyle out of it. Tools have a purpose, and when you’re done with it, you put it away. Enjoy the tunes kids.
