[@keatonlusk3693]

It’s crazy how a different drummer can change the vibe of a song. Both Dave and Chad have an interesting and unique twist on the song that is cool to hear

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

The little changes Dave made (two bass beats between the snares in the verses instead of one, swinging the eighth notes on the closed hi-hat during the verses instead of playing them straight, longer snare rolls in the lead up to the chorus, open quarter note hi-hats during the chorus instead of closed eighth notes) make all the difference though. Dave made it sound more dynamic, heavier and groovier in my opinion. Not to mention the backing vocals Dave supplied, which are the icing on the cake. People who don’t play the drums just hear the intro fills and think Dave played the whole song exactly the same as Chad, but there are definitely a few subtle changes that make a big impact.

This version of the song combined with the video really conveys the vibe of Nirvana as the peak of their career was in bloom... The uncertainty, mounting tension, yet chill vibe of just hanging out with your best friends.

[@NickMartinproductions]

this comment tho

[@smd-tr9jl]

Right? This video combined with the raw sound is what makes me love this version so much, its pure nirvana. Everything from nevermind and on is not just nirvana, its the professional producers and mixers and a little bit of nirvana. Im sorry but if you prefer the nevermind version to this one you are not a real nirvana fan (nothing wrong with thar im just sayin tho)

It pisses me off that the rock n roll hall of fame didn't include and induct Chad Channing with Kurt, Dave and Krist. Chad was in the band during the time they had to work the hardest. Being crammed in a van touring the country with no money, etc. He was there for the toughest times helping the band make a name for themselves. Who cares if he only played on one album, his contribution went beyond that.

[@kucingtigers]

+jimmy fabs A lot of the drum lines on Incesticide were Chads and he taught Dave them

[@jack-of-all-trades9235]

Well I'm pretty sure Chad only did like half of bleach but he also did some of incestiside! Poor Chad, he didn't get anything did he?

[@shagmefrida4176]

He gets a percentage of everything that sells that he was on. That is a ton of money. Most musicians traveling around for little or nothing don't ever get close to that. That said, it should be up to the band which members are indicted in my opinion.

An alternate version in music typically refers to a different rendition or variation of a song or musical piece. It could involve changes in instrumentation, arrangement, tempo, or even lyrical content compared to the original version. These alternate versions are often created for various purposes such as remixes, acoustic versions, live recordings, or special releases.

[@gregoriotumananjr.820]

Producer BUTCH VIG re-recorded this track at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California, in May 1991, during the sessions for the band's second album and major label debut, "NEVERMIND." Because Vig was already mindful of the song from his previous recordings with the band, it was one of the first tracks worked on during the sessions. Like the other songs recorded at Smart Studios, "IN BLOOM" kept most of its original arrangement, with new drummer DAVE GROHL following to CHAD CHANNING's performance and signature drum fills.

The solo in this song is just epic. Simple? Yes. But epic.

[@KaityWelchman]

Why are people surprised Chad Channing is in this? This was recorded in 1990 for Sub-Pop, a record company in Seattle. Dave hadn't come into the band until after this song was made. Yeah, they probably were high for most of their careers, but i don't think whilst filming this they were, that was just weird ole Nirvana. Personally I love this music video, it shows how happy Kurt was before the fame blew up Nirvana, they're just being themselves, whereas in the newer video of In Bloom they're just going against society and what they think and being sarcastic [which i love, it's what i do as well] Looking between the two videos i see a significant difference in Kurt's mood and it's saddening.

Who cares nirvana is great period only one that matters is Kurt Cobain.

It put Kurt in a different light, than the depressed, weak, sick person the media painted him as. He wasn't he was masculinity, and an artist at the same time had the look, and looked badass at the same time. We all wanted to be him, he had long hair, clothes, and looked like a God up there on the stage. Nothing weak about that guy, she painted that picture because she wanted to control him. He was our hero man!

So unique how Kurt has these overtones in his voice. Yes, reverb, delay, and double tracking adds to it, but there is more to it. He may not have been much of a technical singer (and no doubt a lot of that was deliberate), but the timbre and overtones of his voice are just unmatched.
