It's possible that people feel like it was just yesterday that Kurt Cobain died, because his life and legacy continue to live on everytime his voice is heard. I've never felt the kind of sadness I feel, for any artist, the way I do when I think about Kurt's death. My heart aches when I see his face or hear his voice. That ache will always remain. He always wanted freedom, he talked about freedom in all different ways. Kurt, you finally found the freedom you searched for. You became the master of your own legacy and there's no shame in that...peace, love, empathy!!
You do realize what the music industry is right? I'm only writing this to you because you believe the lie that is Kurt- Nirvana. The music industry is not about music, it's about playing with people's vulnerability's, any thing you hear over the radio is there for money! If you know the first rule all true musicians should follow is never accept payment for your music, music is played for the love of music not a reward! Don't be sad at Kurts death, it was all about his image, and how to end his image with the most profitable way possible. I do realize that what im saying my not be your beliefs but i know this to be true, to many things point to what i believe to be not true. Any body that loves someone as much as you claim to love Kurt, and you did not know him in real life, only proves my point , that the music industry has played with your emotions, and made you sad over a pretend image that was kurt.
okthen22ok Wow, you seem to know everything about artists pls don't pretend to know why she's sad about kurt because you dont know her. This is how it is, music sells and I agree with u when you claim art should be free among other things I really do, but that doesn't mean what he did was not art, It is cause his message got to us, we feel what he feels in each song, and I believe it's the most incredible band ever the one and only, the unique, a truly artist that expressed his feelings. and I do love him in a special way, not in the way i love my parents, friends but I feel tremendous empathy towards him. IT'S THE WAY WE FEEL and you will never get to change this notion, I understand Katherine Fox, I feel the same. PD: I can say I know him a bit more than you.
Thank you Fer Frandenburg! What is this person spouting on about? Kurt wasn't an image. He was a real person, an artist the likes of which I've yet to see again. If you for ONE SECOND think that artists making money off their talents, aren't artists...wake up!!! Artists all over the world share their gifts with us every single day. Just because he was used by the industry, and his face and image were plastered all over as a 'spokesperson for a generation', doesn't take away from his incredible talent. No, I didn't know him and neither do you okthen22ok. Feel free to state your opinion, but don't tell me what I should believe or that I should buy into your theory of what a real artist is! "I'd rather people hate me for who I really am, then love me for who I'm not."-K.Cobain He was a person, a gifted and talented artist with real problems. Problems that people all over this world have. He didn't know the answers and he didn't want the label of 'spokesman'. He often said he was just as lost and confused as everyone else. That's what makes him real, not an image of the media. His lyrics spoke to people and his death will always be a terrible loss. Did I claim to 'Love' Kurt in anything I said? NO, try reading again. I said I feel sadness and loss/ache for a human being/artist who inspires me. Don't comment what you think I should feel under my post okthen22ok. Go spout out your theories somewhere else. Putting your comments under my post gives me the right to say that I think you're a complete IDIOT! And you're better off keeping your trap shut 😷, and your fingers 👎away from posting under my comment you 💩
Katherine Fox I feel the exact same way the only thing that I ever wanted was to see Nirvana live but I was born after they broke up I would give anything to see them live
He didn't refer to them as punk. He said before nirvana there's no way you could be in a punk band and make money and be famous. (Hence nirvana opened doors to new sub-genres of rock i.e. punk and grunge)
It's nice to hear Slash saying good things about Nirvana. Guns n Roses Bass player (Can't remember his name) loved Nirvana too. It's absolute crap that Guns n Roses and Nirvana hated each other. It's only Axl Rose who hated Kurt Cobain cos he was jealous that he didn't have the talent that Cobain had.
Wrong. Kurt began talking shit about Axl before Axl reciprocated. Axl actually liked Nirvana at first and wanted them to tour with GnR. Then Kurt spat venom at him. To be fair, Axl probably came across as a douchenozzle in the media and in some of his lyrics, so it's understandable why Kurt didn't like him so much.
You got some of it right, but not all. Yes, Axl did like Nirvana and asked them to open for his band. But Kurt thought Axl was a racist and a homophobe, especially after that song "Onie in a million." He also felt that GNR represented everything he was against, Machoism, sexism, ect..However, he never said this in public. He just never answered Axl's calls. But her never trashed him in public. Axl got mad that he refused to open for his band, so he started the public war of words after one of his shows. He attacked Kurt and his wife. So, that's when Kurt started to express how he really felt about Axl. So, there you go.
battleboy777 Yes, you have it right, as far as I know. At the MTV awards, Courtney (sarcastically) asked Axl if he'd be the godfather of their soon-to-be daughter. Everybody snickered. Axl said to Kurt "You shut your bitch up, or I'm taking you to the pavement!" To which Kurt said "Shut-up, bitch." Everyone laughed even more :D
Axl Rose was an amazingly talented singer, songwriter, and frontman. Cobain was obviously talented as well but he made very different music than Axl. We all know Axl is a douche of epic proportions but that doesn't take away the fact that he is obviously extremely talented.
When I started listening to Nirvana,I was a kid & didn't know Kurt was not alive anymore.When I came to learn that,it just ripped my heart apart.I had never felt such kind of grief,it was like someone so close to you just disappeared.He's my biggest inspiration.And all the kids at school,we used all kinds of Nirvana accessories-tshirts,wallclocks,badges,pencils,notebooks,even stickers.When I talk to my friends or my brother about Nirvana,we feel as if he's still alive somewhere,in peace.Where death and decay can't touch him anymore.
Billie Joe hit the nail on the head. EVERY song on nevermind was a banger. I'm always in the mood for certain songs but whenever a nirvana song starts I have to finish it even if it wasn't what I planned on listening to. Both a treasure and a tragedy but while Kurt ended his life back then he will still live on forever. I listen to their music like its a new song even if I have heard it a million times.
I was never a huge Nirvana fan, but I’ll admit there’s a lot of great songs that Nirvana made. I was always a huge Green Day fan and it is really cool to see Billie Joe talking about Nirvana and how great they were when they were still a band. Kurt Cobain was a really good song writer, he basically started a whole new music genre which was Grunge. I don’t know a lot of Nirvana’s songs, but I do like all the big hits that they made.
@@aaronstark5157 I do know a lot of their songs, but only really the bigger names songs that they made. But I think I’ve heard of those two, but I’m not too sure, I’ll give em a listen.
@@NovacaineRebelxx Funny thing is i became Green Day fan after i saw a video of The Coverups (which is another Billie Joe sideband) and he played Drain You with Mike and Jason, which is cool. And then i saw this video, then i know Billie Joe really likes Nirvana. Then i give a Green Day more listen. I know almost all of the Nirvana songs including b-sides and demos. And now I also know most of Green Day songs from their beginning until the last album (and the sidebands they did too lmao).
@Pokètrainer Silver I’m also a huge fan of both bands. Not my favorite of all time but I would put both in my top 10 and I could listen to any of their music from any time. Personal favorite songs from them are Man Who Sold the World cover from MTV Unplugged by Nirvana and Peacemaker from 21CB by Green Day

Jeff Bridges! I remember when this came out. Absolutely everything changed. The clothing, the attitude, the radio, the television and the way it operated… it was an interesting time to be alive. The music of the 90’s was so unique.
Green Day's Dookie and Nirvana's Nevermind albums were the 2 best well written rock albums of the past 30-40 years. in regards to lyrics. Cuz those 2 albums literally were the "spokesman" for youth angst and lifestyle. Others has tried to pen youth angst onto paper but only Nevermind and Dookie truly succeeded in doing it.
nope. I said just Dookie and Nevermind. just those 2 albums. I never said the groups were the spokesmen for teen angst, I said the albums were the spokesmen. specifically the lyrics of both albums. yes I know Green Day's Dookie appeared quite soon after Nirvana...yunno. died/broke apart. I was there. I was in freshman year of college when In Utero was released.
Nirvana and Green Day are so similar. Both drummers weren't in their first albums, both had similar beliefs, both bassists and guitarist/vocalists were best friends throughout high school, and both started in high school. Piece of me believes Green Day was like Nirvana's legacy, and took place for Nirvana's future.
Both are punk influenced bands and both were formed in the underground scene one year after the other, Green Day in '86 and Nirvana in '87. Both bands are like cousins kinda.
Nirvana is just one of those records that blew people away, I'll never forgot it as I played in a local card/snooker club and my friends were addicted to Teen Spirit when it came on M.t.v.. The song seemed like it came on every 30 minutes as M.t.v. absolutely milked the song for every drop.. It's the best album of all time without a doubt.. And it was a pop album as with melodies such as those there was no way it was not going to be unpopular. Even Paul MccArtney was blown away by it, it was a special album and still sounds like the future of rock today. And I think G&R came very close but I can't decide which is better, Appetite for Destruction or Use your Illusion 1 & 2. Best prog rock album of all time has to go to Mansuns Six album which blew me away but it was a great success until later.. A simply stunning album from start to finish but it's a major grower and never as immediate as the other albums mentioned in the above. There are lots of albums that have been made and loads are brilliant but those albums that I've mentioned in the above are the most complete that I can remember.. I'm sure there lots of other albums there but I can't think of any at the moment other than Pearl Jam's 10, Oasis Definitely Maybe, Boston (Boston). The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, Shiny Toy Guns, Interpol Turn on the Bright Lights, Super Furry Animals, The Stone Roses, The Verve, Weezer, Mansun Attack of the Grey Lantern, Aha Scoundrel Days and Kate Bush Kick Inside. I I'm sure I could think of lots more but these are all examples of perfect or near perfect albums. Amazing band that never made it were a Band namely "The Open," and they produced two brilliant albums titled "The Silent Hours and Statues. lol that's my word for the day.
Was riding around with my musician son, age 31, and an oasis song came on. I'm 67, so I'm not particularly dfamiliar with oasis, but he liked it and so did I. He also likes vinyl lps. I had heard that target stores still sell vinyl lps. So I went to target, and they had some. But not oasis. They did have nirvana nevermind. He loved it as a Christmas gift. It was a good choice. I'm at home listening to my nevermind CD as I write this. Merry candlemas day to all!
insouciant - [in-soo-see-uh nt; French] adjective: 1. Free from concern, worry, or anxiety; carefree; nonchalant. 2. A word used by the once-relevant artist known as "Moby" in an interview comment about the band Nirvana, further confirming that he is a real douche-face.
From what I have read what Nirvana did was similar to what Sex Pistols did in 1977. The 101ers played on the same bill as the Pistols and after the gig formed The Clash. Joy Division formed off the back of a Pistols gig and many others did the same. I was on the music scene in the early 90's and when Nevermind came out the impact was instant bands that had played hardcore and bands more like Guns n Roses and metal bands all changed their sound overnight. I even remember my band playing Come as you are and saying we need to sound more like this a long time before anyone knew what a huge impact the album would have. For me it was there and it was happening and from Nirvana many punk bands were signed from NOFX, Pennywise, No use for a name, Lagwagon, Rancid. The only big punk band before Nirvana was Bad Religion. All the others' became big after Nevermind and many in particular in 1994 and even Bad Religion had their biggest hit album in 1994 in part thanks to the single Infected. Do not underestimate the impact Nirvana had on the music scene. I have never known a band to have such a large impact. No one since has made bands change musical direction as they did in the early 90's and off the back of it I was able to see many big name punk bands now in tiny clubs.
ZERO_SIGNAL I said Sex Pistols were influential not who was better than whom. Also when they started Peter Hook said he couldn’t play the bass either and never held him back. He could play enough to get by. Anarchy is simple enough three and a half bars of strumming with a couple of accents from the left hand. Glen Matlock taught him the basics. I never said I was in love with the way someone looked or acted so can we please stick to the facts rather than make some up. Who are you? CNN. Nirvana were a 90’s punk band who also influenced many other punk bands Pennywise, NOFX etc. Minor Threat were hardcore punk. I never said Nirvana were hardcore. Wikipedia? No Kurt’s own journal where he quotes Nirvana’s top 50 albums and number 1 Raw Power by The Stooges but also MDC, Black Flag, Bad Brains, Sex Pistols, The Saints, Germs, The Slits, The Clash, FEAR, PIL, Killing Joke, Butthole Surfers so like Dave were heavily influenced by punk rock which you can hear in Come as you are, Eighties by KJ, Breed and Territorial Pissings but also had more melodic influences like The Beatles, Pixies, REM, Aerosmith, PJ Harvey, The Raincoats and David Bowie.
Nirvanas nevermind and Alice In Chains dirt are 2 classic albums. Jar of flies is another classic ep in my eyes as well. And 2 of the best mtv unplugged ever.
I want to tell the people who are alive today that never seen or felt the impact of both Nirvana and the Sex Pistols. The effects were devasting and immediate for both. Both had their effects on the music world but also the fashion and politics and attitude. We really owe so much to both these bands and their influence. There really is no way to give the effects justice, they were situations that you HAD to experience and what everyone else has been trying to do since is trying to recreate the scenarios. Impossible because those were really lightning in bottle moments that there really is no way you can set out to become that. The perfect age, writing the perfect album backed by the perfect group. Rest in Peace to Sid and Kurt. Both of you changed the world but were not around long after. Thank you to the remaining member's of both bands. I was not even a kid first time I heard Sex Pistols, but a friend of mine, his brother bought it and they were both salivating over the album, dragged me along to hear it. Best album heard. Over a decade later, Nirvana. Heard Smells Like Teen Spirit and bought the album, Nevermind. Mind-blowing moments for me.
Nirvana's one of my favorite bands, if not my favorite. When I was younger I thought they were overrated and didn't appreciate them as much, only knowing the Smells Like Teen Spirit song. Then I listened to Bleach at a friend's request and realized they had a lot more to offer. There seems to be two phases of being a Nirvana fan. The first phase you get hooked in by the catchy melodies...literally every song is memorable, which is a remarkable feat. Most people are lucky to have a one hit wonder...every song they made sounded like it could be it's own single. Then there's the second phase, where you look up the lyrics and try to decipher what it all means. On the surface they sound like catchy rock tunes, but peel beneath the layers and the songs are much darker than you'd expect, and hell some of them even have pro feminist messages. But the key take away of their lyrics is that they communicate a feeling rather than a blatant message. Instead of using the lyrics to spell everything out for you, they more or less communicate an emotion. Nirvana and Kurt Cobain somehow found the secret recipe to selling punk to the mainstream, and it's a pretty simple concept. Fuse pop melodies with punk aggression. It makes me jealous that I didn't come up with the concept first, though I was too young to have done that anyway. Though there have been plenty of bands that have used that same formula, I haven't really seen another band since Nirvana become as big of a giant....the closest one that comes to mind is maybe Green Day. And that's not to say the only reason they're one of the greatest is because they're popular, but it's so rare for there to be anything that makes you go "Wow I fucking love this" and everyone else goes "Yeah I agree".
Really wish we could’ve seen what more Kurt had to give us. Everyone talks about how Radiohead is the most innovative band of the last 20-something years but I think if Nirvana had a few more years they would’ve evolved just as beautifully as the Beatles did
Yeah that's why the dudes from Green Day and Duran Duran were praising it. Nevermind had a unique sound and approach, it was creative, it didn't sound like a recycled piece of music like all of the stuff today. And most importantly, it was music that was memorable, people will still be talking about Nirvana and their accomplishments many many years from now

I'm so Happy Billie Joe is in this, Ive never heard Green Day talk about Nirvana. Im glad BJ Likes them
There's also a video where Green Day talks about meeting Kurt Cobain. It's pretty easy to find on yt
I saw that aswell
well Green Day started before Nirvana was formed.. but they got into major label after Nirvana.

TrOllinM4sTEr are you saying that greenday took up where nirvana left off for the rest of that decade? They did come out right after Kurt died.
nope.
I said just Dookie and Nevermind. just those 2 albums. I never said the groups were the spokesmen for teen angst, I said the albums were the spokesmen. specifically the lyrics of both albums. yes I know Green Day's Dookie appeared quite soon after Nirvana...yunno. died/broke apart. I was there. I was in freshman year of college when In Utero was released.
TrOllinM4sTEr You'll have to excuse me, I was only like 3 years old at the time. So I don't remember.
its cool man.
Maybe in the pat 25 years but don't be so broad about albums that came out 3 years from eachother
Nirvana and Green Day are so similar. Both drummers weren't in their first albums, both had similar beliefs, both bassists and guitarist/vocalists were best friends throughout high school, and both started in high school. Piece of me believes Green Day was like Nirvana's legacy, and took place for Nirvana's future.
Beautifully Said.. amazing analogy
Both are punk influenced bands and both were formed in the underground scene one year after the other, Green Day in '86 and Nirvana in '87.
Both bands are like cousins kinda.
@@youmakenosense7437 Both singers were extremely feminist and stood behind that movement before it was mainstream.
Hüsker Dü blows those bands by 4 marathons..... the ultimate trio that combined melody-harmony with distortion.
Out of the blue popped a genius and it was Kurt Cobain. Brilliant standout album!
Nirvana is just one of those records that blew people away, I'll never forgot it as I played in a local card/snooker club and my friends were addicted to Teen Spirit when it came on M.t.v.. The song seemed like it came on every 30 minutes as M.t.v. absolutely milked the song for every drop.. It's the best album of all time without a doubt.. And it was a pop album as with melodies such as those there was no way it was not going to be unpopular. Even Paul MccArtney was blown away by it, it was a special album and still sounds like the future of rock today. And I think G&R came very close but I can't decide which is better, Appetite for Destruction or Use your Illusion 1 & 2. Best prog rock album of all time has to go to Mansuns Six album which blew me away but it was a great success until later.. A simply stunning album from start to finish but it's a major grower and never as immediate as the other albums mentioned in the above.
There are lots of albums that have been made and loads are brilliant but those albums that I've mentioned in the above are the most complete that I can remember.. I'm sure there lots of other albums there but I can't think of any at the moment other than Pearl Jam's 10, Oasis Definitely Maybe, Boston (Boston). The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, Shiny Toy Guns, Interpol Turn on the Bright Lights, Super Furry Animals, The Stone Roses, The Verve, Weezer, Mansun Attack of the Grey Lantern, Aha Scoundrel Days and Kate Bush Kick Inside. I I'm sure I could think of lots more but these are all examples of perfect or near perfect albums. Amazing band that never made it were a Band namely "The Open," and they produced two brilliant albums titled "The Silent Hours and Statues. lol that's my word for the day.
Gnr has one good song welcome to the jungle. Other than that they are very corny
Was riding around with my musician son, age 31, and an oasis song came on. I'm 67, so I'm not particularly dfamiliar with oasis, but he liked it and so did I. He also likes vinyl lps. I had heard that target stores still sell vinyl lps. So I went to target, and they had some. But not oasis. They did have nirvana nevermind. He loved it as a Christmas gift. It was a good choice. I'm at home listening to my nevermind CD as I write this. Merry candlemas day to all!
Of course Moby would use the word “insouciant” describing Kurt Cobain.
insouciant - [in-soo-see-uh nt; French]
adjective:
1. Free from concern, worry, or anxiety; carefree; nonchalant.
2. A word used by the once-relevant artist known as "Moby" in an interview comment about the band Nirvana, further confirming that he is a real douche-face.
Best comment ever
Thank you. I'm like, damn it, moby
Yes. This comment is the reason the internet was made. Kimmel is a douche too
I literally would have liked to hear ANYONE else talk about Nirvana than him...
From what I have read what Nirvana did was similar to what Sex Pistols did in 1977. The 101ers played on the same bill as the Pistols and after the gig formed The Clash. Joy Division formed off the back of a Pistols gig and many others did the same. I was on the music scene in the early 90's and when Nevermind came out the impact was instant bands that had played hardcore and bands more like Guns n Roses and metal bands all changed their sound overnight. I even remember my band playing Come as you are and saying we need to sound more like this a long time before anyone knew what a huge impact the album would have. For me it was there and it was happening and from Nirvana many punk bands were signed from NOFX, Pennywise, No use for a name, Lagwagon, Rancid. The only big punk band before Nirvana was Bad Religion. All the others' became big after Nevermind and many in particular in 1994 and even Bad Religion had their biggest hit album in 1994 in part thanks to the single Infected. Do not underestimate the impact Nirvana had on the music scene. I have never known a band to have such a large impact. No one since has made bands change musical direction as they did in the early 90's and off the back of it I was able to see many big name punk bands now in tiny clubs.
i hated nevermind. it was too radio friendly... in utero is a gem.
Cain Marco It was also a unit shifter.
misfit well said, amigo
Cain Marco and then Frances Farmer had her revenge on Seattle
ZERO_SIGNAL I said Sex Pistols were influential not who was better than whom. Also when they started Peter Hook said he couldn’t play the bass either and never held him back. He could play enough to get by. Anarchy is simple enough three and a half bars of strumming with a couple of accents from the left hand. Glen Matlock taught him the basics. I never said I was in love with the way someone looked or acted so can we please stick to the facts rather than make some up. Who are you? CNN. Nirvana were a 90’s punk band who also influenced many other punk bands Pennywise, NOFX etc. Minor Threat were hardcore punk. I never said Nirvana were hardcore. Wikipedia? No Kurt’s own journal where he quotes Nirvana’s top 50 albums and number 1 Raw Power by The Stooges but also MDC, Black Flag, Bad Brains, Sex Pistols, The Saints, Germs, The Slits, The Clash, FEAR, PIL, Killing Joke, Butthole Surfers so like Dave were heavily influenced by punk rock which you can hear in Come as you are, Eighties by KJ, Breed and Territorial Pissings but also had more melodic influences like The Beatles, Pixies, REM, Aerosmith, PJ Harvey, The Raincoats and David Bowie.
Nirvanas nevermind and Alice In Chains dirt are 2 classic albums. Jar of flies is another classic ep in my eyes as well. And 2 of the best mtv unplugged ever.
It's crazy, as a kid I remember this. That one song "smells like teen spirit" changed music.
Paper Box ur very fortunate
I want to tell the people who are alive today that never seen or felt the impact of both Nirvana and the Sex Pistols. The effects were devasting and immediate for both. Both had their effects on the music world but also the fashion and politics and attitude. We really owe so much to both these bands and their influence. There really is no way to give the effects justice, they were situations that you HAD to experience and what everyone else has been trying to do since is trying to recreate the scenarios. Impossible because those were really lightning in bottle moments that there really is no way you can set out to become that. The perfect age, writing the perfect album backed by the perfect group. Rest in Peace to Sid and Kurt. Both of you changed the world but were not around long after. Thank you to the remaining member's of both bands. I was not even a kid first time I heard Sex Pistols, but a friend of mine, his brother bought it and they were both salivating over the album, dragged me along to hear it. Best album heard. Over a decade later, Nirvana. Heard Smells Like Teen Spirit and bought the album, Nevermind. Mind-blowing moments for me.
Nirvana's one of my favorite bands, if not my favorite. When I was younger I thought they were overrated and didn't appreciate them as much, only knowing the Smells Like Teen Spirit song. Then I listened to Bleach at a friend's request and realized they had a lot more to offer. There seems to be two phases of being a Nirvana fan. The first phase you get hooked in by the catchy melodies...literally every song is memorable, which is a remarkable feat. Most people are lucky to have a one hit wonder...every song they made sounded like it could be it's own single. Then there's the second phase, where you look up the lyrics and try to decipher what it all means. On the surface they sound like catchy rock tunes, but peel beneath the layers and the songs are much darker than you'd expect, and hell some of them even have pro feminist messages. But the key take away of their lyrics is that they communicate a feeling rather than a blatant message. Instead of using the lyrics to spell everything out for you, they more or less communicate an emotion. Nirvana and Kurt Cobain somehow found the secret recipe to selling punk to the mainstream, and it's a pretty simple concept. Fuse pop melodies with punk aggression. It makes me jealous that I didn't come up with the concept first, though I was too young to have done that anyway. Though there have been plenty of bands that have used that same formula, I haven't really seen another band since Nirvana become as big of a giant....the closest one that comes to mind is maybe Green Day. And that's not to say the only reason they're one of the greatest is because they're popular, but it's so rare for there to be anything that makes you go "Wow I fucking love this" and everyone else goes "Yeah I agree".
Really wish we could’ve seen what more Kurt had to give us. Everyone talks about how Radiohead is the most innovative band of the last 20-something years but I think if Nirvana had a few more years they would’ve evolved just as beautifully as the Beatles did
Nirvana rocks 🤘🎸 (that’s AWSOME that slash is in this video)
Slash, bruce springsteen, nirvana legends ❤
i had the entire show in vhs, my favorite show of vh1
Damn it, Moby. I come here to UA-cam to watch videos and you go sending me to the fucking dictionary.

ScreamingInTheCalle nobody listen to techno!

- Nevermind

- The Grey
- Juturna
"Here they are, NiRvHäæNæä
Nirvana was amazing!
Yeah that's why the dudes from Green Day and Duran Duran were praising it. Nevermind had a unique sound and approach, it was creative, it didn't sound like a recycled piece of music like all of the stuff today. And most importantly, it was music that was memorable, people will still be talking about Nirvana and their accomplishments many many years from now
my brain stopped working for a second when i saw the title and billie joe in the thumbnail
"Revolver" from The Beatles. I remember watching this countdown.
MAGICAL 90S...❤BEST ERA OR OUR LIVES...MUSIC( HANDS DOWN THE ERA THAT SET THE SCALE UP FOR OTHER BANDS,EVEN POP WAS GREAT)
MOVIES(THE CLASSIC 90S GOLD MOVIES).EVERYTHING WAS GOLD.. PEOPLE WAS MORE FRIENDLY.. MORE UNIQUE...WITHOUT SHITTY INSTAGRAM AND FB..NOWADAYS WE ARE SLAVES OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND MORE LONELY THAN EVER...AND WITH GARBAGE POP MUSIC AND A VERY VERY FEW ROCK BANDS...
..MISS 90S SO MUCH..WISH I COULD LIVE THIS CRAZY ERA ONCE AGAIN...
Fist time i bought nevermind , i listened to it for 2 weeks straight w/o skipping
Best album ever!!!
Ten is better
Every Metallica album is better
@@ryan15cor32 St Anger is better? With its trash can drums?
@@SN2903 Ten is not even close to being as good as Nevermind.
Yep, I can’t name another album as legendary as Nevermind
I would do anything to go back and stay there. F*** the past 2 decades.
I remember when these types of TV programs had this style to them in the 2000s.
Chilling
Nirvana For All....
AMAZING RECORD!!!! Kurt was or is one of the best songwriters in rock history
DiazdelVivar Greatest songwriter since John Lennon!
"a punk rocker who wrote great songs and Dave Grohl, Krist Noveselic who were both great guys" 😃
(Moby)
I didn't expect Billie to be in this.
Cool!
In Utero>
Not as meaningful.
okay
I like it better too but to each their own, I think it's an issue of semantics that most people tend to prefer Nevermind.
Bleach
A la la la la long
My favourite album of all time
in·sou·ci·ant
adjective
showing a casual lack of concern; indifferent
"an insouciant shrug"
I WANT NIRVANA!!!!!!!!!
90s for life!!!!! kurt!!!!!! anarchy!!!!!!

I’m proud that nevermind made number 2 I can’t believe it u know out of 100 great rock and roll albums
Do you have anymore videos from this countdown/series?
I came here for Billie Joe !!!!
Slash says it's cool... It's cool
Billie joe aprooved
Why is no-one talking about the fact that Moby thought it was ok to drop the word "insouciant" into a VH1 interview. Fuck sake Moby.
Danny Colverson he’s clearly a genius and he loved Kurt
Green day was my fav band and now its Nirvana, I still love both very much and thats why I love this video
Nirvana didn't come to pop music it came to them
Nevermind by Nirvina and Dookie and by Green Day are the two best albums of the whole 90s maybe the two best albums ever made
I MISS YOU KURT
thanks kurdt!
Billie :)
Billie Joe Armstrong (Oakland, California; 17 de febrero de 1972) es un cantante, compositor, músico, productor discográfico, y actor estadounidense
50 años
even Slash
Should be #1
When is this interview from?
I don't consider Nevermind to an angry album. It's an album of painful self awareness.
"As I want you to be."
Definitely maybe and whats the story , morning glory should be on the list.
Did you guys know that Butch Vig, the producer for Nevermind, would eventually produce an album with Green Day? I'm not joking! Search it up!
when this interview come out?
I watched this on TV when it was aired, guess I’m 40 😅
You hear that is Punk Punk Punk !!!
100 Most Shocking Moments in Rock N Roll and it ends with an image of Jackson and Presley
The Dude abides...
NIRVANA AND GREEN DAY ❤
this guy reminds me of Jeff bridges
Nice to see Billie Joe and Springsteen in this.
NIRVANA IS THE BEST...😋👏👏👏
Bruuuuuuce
How come people forgot that Green Day was once the same era as Nirvana
Should be #11
I watch this cz billie
Gak ada yang nanya, gan wkwkwk
Canda
When was this out?
Ppl would be sad to know the Monkees had much more of an impact on Kurt than any punk band
Probably Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
The greatest band ever
This countdown is old and obviously from the 90’s so of course today in 2018 we all know that Nevermind is number 1.
0:40 Billie Joe
0:58 Bruce Springsteen
1:48 Dave grohl
0:46 slash
But to me, this one is the greatest of all time.
Oh Billo
all my idols.....
but is BILLIE..... but no matter
