NIRVANA - Funny Version of ABOUT A GIRL

Nirvana performing About a Girl in the Netherlands just a few weeks before Nevermind was released. Nirvana wasn't gratuitously smashing their equipment... their equipment was asking for it!

[@cor9815]

His solo was so baller. Even grohl was impressed

[@respawn7514]

@Incesticide tea i think he means the way he came in

[@Tomnedreb]

Epic Kurt moment when he starts the solo.

[@amiraapplewell]

yayy! love you!!

Tomnedreb surley do a cover of this version

[@RockYourBestVocals]

Agreed 10000000%!!! I've felt that pent up rage when something goes wrong - desperately trying to sort it out, and when it comes together - BOOM! He let's loose the BEAST and tears an ass wide in the rest of the song! EPIC indeed! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@theconversation9103]

Perfect timing, guitar sounded rageful when it came back

[@yusukeurameshi2204]

I agree The solo is just so epic

[@antonioraulpenarobles6133]

1:40 Krist Novoselic: Finally the public can hear my bass lines :D

[@therobloxexplorer1249]

we always heard his basslines( actually we felt his basslines)

[@hectorpin]

😂😂 y Kurt cantando flojo para que lo escuchen mejor. Todo consideración en este concierto!! 😂😂😂

[@joleneloveland2942]

With all the live performances they did touring, I think he got bored and started feeling like a machine pumping out the same songs in every city they played. I so love it when he decided to twist up a song or do a down right ridiculous version of it. Even I screw up words to popular songs and it's fun. I have to commend Krist and Dave for seamlessly following along when Kurt would get Into one of those moods spontaneously . Those two are pros but knowing Kurt I think they knew to expect the unexpected. Damn, they were a good band! Ps. I know this was an equipment malfunction in this case. But just pointing out how Intuitive and pro they were. Alot bands would have just stopped playing. ✋sigh 😕 . They were magic!

[@segnoggin]

Oh absolutely. I couldn’t agree more

[@986BoxS]

He was also pretty drunk this evening😂

[@Luigi55555]

Actually it’s because his distortion petal went out so his whole rig went down that’s why he stopped. Tho still props to Krist and Dave on just staying with it

[@Eyeupthebison]

Kurt was methodical And he knew how to make a persona and image

[@soulslip]

@@Eyeupthebisonlol or it’s called just having fun in the moment... I mean he was having technical problems....

[@prestodc1]

Imagine if someone had pulled Kurt aside after that gig and told him that in 2019, almost 30 years in the future, some guy will be sitting in a basement flat in Camden Town in London watching on repeat how well he handled that glitch before going into and smashing the solo. Lol.

[@Adam-XL]

He was on shrooms at this gig, so it would probably have made sense to him lol

[@FlyingJustToFall]

Everything about this is so perfect imperfect. Total essence of awesome Nirvana - The energy put in that solo after it came bk from the dead. What a fcking legend!

[@ТетянаКлименко-ч9ю]

No words🔥

[@BoxJoe136]

Man I love Kurts voice echoing like that

[@antonymalko2009]

@James K in this case I think it’s just the venue.

[@ashleyphillips5477]

the way Kurt Cobain could change his voice in songs like this, randomly change the lyrics in certain songs, showed that he wasn't afraid to be different when it came to performing live. a lot of artists today would be too worried about doing this. Kurt didn't have that fear, obviously. he seemed to do what he wanted on stage and not care, and somehow it still sounded good

[@antonymalko2009]

He didn’t take himself too seriously. That’s how you have fun.

[@WebtoonMan]

When Kurt intentionally messing up about a girl is better than puddle of mudd trying their best covering the same song shows you a lot about how kurts voice still holds up

[@apoIIo99]

LMAOOOO did anyone else see him swat the tech guys hand away from his guitar when the sound kicked back in?

[@knot_andrez]

He was testing if the cord worked but it made it look like he was swatting

[@amiraapplewell]

1:07 he was like "oh." when his pedal quit working 🤣 then he kept going. he's amazing.

[@oliverb.3898]

His pedal didnt stop it was his guitar

[@oliverb.8995]

@@oliverb.3898It was his pedal lol. It died, and so the sound stopped

[@music4lifesux]

1:08 his reaction is legitimately hilarious. It's like the essence of "fuck it, we'll do it live."

[@toezinclips7968]

The drum bells of Dave gave life to Kurt's guitar again. 2:07

It didn't, it was off during where he normally plays the solo, he started playing the solo on what is normally the last verse, Kurt basically just played the solo there instead and then they went into the last verse
