"I fucked up", well that que was golden.

[@alextforever8496]

When you thought Billie had already reached his Nirvana, he goes and does a cover. Hell can he get any better.

[@spookymulder945]

Holy shit he sounds like a combo of Kurt and himself.

[@kristoffmarquez8541]

This is kurt's voice when he got older

Correction, it sounds alot like the first demo Nirvana made back on the day

I wish he would have attempted the scream after the break part

[@matthewchunk3689]

My favorite Nirvana performance is Drain You (Live On "Nulle Part Ailleurs", Paris, France/1994). Kurt's guitar stops working in the bridge he tosses it aside and lets out the most volcanic scream. deEEEEAAAAHHHHey!

[@brandname6]

This cover band is going places

[@slyppery7923]

Does anyone notice the destroy boys sitting in the background? Just vibin. This video is so much punk rock in one place.

[@End-Result]

Sounds quite like the first (original?) demo Nirvana made back in the day

[@MrAndreCoutinho]

Indeed. I was expecting the solo to come up instead of the break.

[@gearmachine_4885]

Mike looks like he escaped a russian high security prison and drove a stolen motor bike just to be there and play with them.

[@Obtainedcoot]

why would russia lock up their own president?

[@epichalocat2887]

That’s such a gorgeous guitar

[@steve9094]

It's impressive that Billie Joe is able to pull out a pretty accurate impression of Kurt's vocals just for a cover song, especially when you consider all those lame "post-grunge" bands whose entire career has revolved around unsuccessfully trying to sing like Cobain. I bet the guy from Puddle of Mudd is super jealous.

[@rebelbelle1039]

My favorite song from Nirvana

[@EW-go1xw]

He can't scream

[@s-dew]

@@EW-go1xw he can. Have you heaed letterbomb?

[@EW-go1xw]

@@s-dew you obviously don't know what a "scream" is. The scream that Kurt Cobain does in Drain You (natural vocals) is nothing like Letter Bomb which was produced in studio using engineering gimmicks. That's why you don't EVER hear screams done live by Billie Joe. It's nothing against the singer, it's just not in his vocal range. A lot of singers have damaged their vocals trying or doing a scream without proper training. Not every singer can scream and Cobain himself did not always scream while performing Drain You live. It's not a big deal that a singer can't scream. BTW, it's spelled h-e-a-r-e-d 😉

Is Mike playing a 6 string guitar?
