Tori Amos - Smells Like Teen Spirit

[@spongiform]

I was there!!! She was amazing, and I was captivated the entire time she was on stage. I think maybe the best performance I have ever been to.

[@magnificentfailure2390]

@cassl14 God, no. Pam Anderson wishes she was Tori. Seriously, Tori Amos is an amazingly engaging performer. I'm sorry you don't get what she does in concert. Maybe if you went to a show and experienced it from start to finish?.. Her eyes would find you at some point and she would notice you. She's a great one for actually seeing her audience.

[@ziweiyuan]

Tori knows what she's about. I saw her live back in September of 1992 during the Little Earthquakes tour. It was a smallish venue and I was in the fifth or sixth row, right side, pretty close to Tori and her piano. She sat just like she's sitting in this video, legs askew, and her eyes constantly scanned the crowd. (She met my eyes several times, but as she was under hot lights and most of the crowd was in the dark I'm not sure how well she actually saw any of us. But she tried.) As a performer she wasn't what I was expecting at all. Given her vulnerable lyrics and that aching soprano I thought she'd come off as shy and distant, even damaged. Anything but! She was warm and supremely confident, without a hint of stage fright. Her stage patter was bold and amusing...I remember her telling us a funny story about a sexual awakening she had while looking at a poster of Jim Morrison when she was young. Her performance was flawless, too. She didn't sing a single note off key.

[@magnificentfailure2390]

@@ziweiyuan I saw Tori in Phoenix in 2018 at the stupid Comerica theater. I was up in the nosebleed balcony section and I know she saw me and my buddy, Star. She even pointed right at us when she sang "Running Up That Hill". Probably because I am an old-school Kate Bush fan and I sorta popped a vocal cord when I recognized the first notes. It was an amazing show and to hear her cover Kate was like frosting on top of a cake made of frosting. :)

[@suesjoy]

When I was pregnant with my one and only child, I listened to Tori and Leonard Cohen every day. She is 21 now and a musician now and songwriter. I made sure she learned piano, but she taught herself guitar. She graduated with a degree in philosophy and politics, and is getting her master’s in Public Policy. She wants to work for an NGO. BUT her first love is music, and she told me yesterday that she’s dedicating two days a week to practicing and writing songs. I have encouraged her to never stop playing. She said it’s her fantasy to just be able to play and write songs every day, but she is a realist. It’s her life- and I can’t blame her for wanting a “normal” career. She’s goiMy to record an ep soon and shop it around clubs in London!

[@TheWaynos73]

[@jukeseyable]

she is good, but not even close to the original, for a great cover disturbed sound of silence

[@jeffblydenburgh5938]

Disagree on the disturbed cover of sounds of silence. You can’t touch the original in my opinion

[@jukeseyable]

@@jeffblydenburgh5938 and I disagree deeply and profoundly with your disagree. the vocals on the original simply do not agree with the emotion of the lyrics thenselves. S and G were just 2 nice american boys singing sweetly. the lyrics are so far removed from this. With disturbeds cover the discontinuity is resolved, the vocals are now true to the lyrics. it has to be one of the finest covers ever, of any song

[@grapatin]

​@@jukeseyable The dissonance between the sweet, simple singing in the original is perfect for the lyrics. Life is dissonant. We are tone deaf to the suffering of others and cannot and will not bear witness to it even as we cannot come to terms with our own. Cries for help are met with silence. Consonance is all we're trained to hear and to respond to. I love both the original and the cover. Each performance has its own depth of message.

[@Costa_del_Artlepool]

[@BlueHazyDreams]

This is exactly how you do a cover. The first problem with many covers is the song choice, and once facet of that problem is the risk of covering an immensely iconic song that truly "belongs" to the original artist. This scenario for covering often ends in disaster, and yet Tori aced it. The second point is general criteria for an excellent cover: a fresh, new spin, adaptation to produce the covering artist's true style, and backstory: personal connection the song and possibly even portraying a new meaning than the original has. Check, check, and check.

[@datura1983]

Tori Amos sang and recorded that song before NIRVANA, who were not big yet, as she was starting as well, they knew each other and they gave the song to her, and it was not a hit, more a B-Side, but she did it pretty much like this piano and voice, then Nirvana made it a grunge hit....

How can anyone be there live and not be captured by this performance. I feel uneasy watching through a screen, as if she’s actively trying to steal my soul. Yet it’s so beautiful and I can’t look away. What a an enchanting woman she is.

[@3rdstone1]

This is exactly how you make a cover of a highly successful song just one year after. By doing it totally different. I remember first time hearing Amos' version and just laughed out load. So briliiant doing a piano based ballad of that loud rock song (which great riffs I instantly loved to play on guitar my self). Tori Amos is such a great musician, and God bless her heart.

[@melovil9199]

This is a rip off of Patti Smith cover though

Everybody who says she's butchering the music honestly must not understand musical theory whatsoever. It's haunting and beautiful. The way she crescendos or moves from piano to fortissimo in an instant is fucking gorgeous.

[@cmcgrew98]

I think there are people who say that because they don't like her for other reasons. Allegedly she's a Satanist and other things, etc. I think it's safe to say, though that whatever you think of Tori's character, she is an amazing performer.

[@shnootch]

@@cmcgrew98 probably not a 'satanist',whatever that might actually be. outspoken, though, i think. some folks have trouble with semi-famous people speaking out-of-turn, especially if they disagree with them...

[@cmcgrew98]

@@shnootch I think in this case, it has to do with some shallow Christians attempting to label people like Tori as Satanists, because people like her criticize Christianity. My response to that is that it's important to have things out in the open and not to lie in fear of such people like Tori even if they are "Satanists". It is true that Tori is talented, and the best thing to do is to debate certain issues rather than cowering in fear and downgrading one's obvious musical talent. I have a pretty serious problem with shallow Christians myself having grown up with and around them. Christians who don't like Halloween, for example. I know of one family who won't let their son watch a single movie, not even a Christian one, because reasons. I really think this is a serious issue in the Christian community, and I certainly don't think that it really helps their case to remain ignorant and shallow in such ridiculous ways.

There is not another living soul who can make a piano sound so haunting. I remember hearing a snippet from Little Earthquakes prior to it's release in a WEA marketing meeting and I was just floored. I grabbed a Pre-release cassette copy of the record and to this day it still sits in a safe as a prized treasure. The first time I saw her perform on the Little Earthquakes tour was one of the most moving experiences of my life. I walked away speechless. There were simply no words to describe what I had just witnessed. Just Tori and a Piano onstage and she managed to reach into the imaginations of the audience and conjure up a show within the mind of each viewer. It was absolutely magical.

This cover is EVERYTHINGGGG

[@bldwnpwr1]

I've always been a huge fan of her and her voice ... Tori makes melancholy sound so pretty and beautiful ... I've thought that a good singer let's you feel their emotions in there songs and for this reason she is truly my favorite female vocalist

[@wednesday.k.dahmer4988]

Still my favourite version of this song...😍😍😍 ...

[@igorm8110]

I agree. The original has been overplayed to infinity.. Nirvana had better songs and this sounds fresher.

[@CarlitoGio]

Wow, an amazing cover. Beautiful

[@vladkhokhlov3026]

The best cover ever!❤

[@ravey99]

Sinister but beautiful. This haunts me. And the power of that piano - astonishing.

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Amazing how powerful one piano sounds, when in the hands of a songful heart...

[@garrywood8669]

Much love to everyone digging this ❤

[@niallodoibhilin6009]

this is an amazing cover. Kurt Cobain was star struck by Tori Amos just fyi. She captures the metal vibe through her piano.

[@nesfan8]

I imagine that there was a reality where Kurt got with Tori instead of Love and they lived happily ever after

[@mentak2593]

Interesting because when I saw Nirvana in Seattle in 1992 they started playing the Tori Amos version over the speakers, then Kurt cut it off and said “Yeah right”. I remember being really disappointed cuz I love Tori.

I was 20 in 92 and had no clue this beautiful world existed.
