I still remember the first time I heard Teen Spirit and Nevermind. May 5 1999. I was on a bus on an 8th grade class trip to Dc. The guy next to me offers me his portable cd player and gives me Nevermind. I hit play and the first few chords started to Teen spirit. Then the distortion kicks in and I remember the hairs on my neck started to stand up. By the end of the song my life was changed. I still, to this day, have never had anything even remotely close to that type of profoundness happen again. Those are the moments that make life worth living. Thank you Kurt , Dave , Krist and butch. You all changed my perspective on life for the better
When the audience booed the opening act to Nirvana and when Nirvana came on Kurt said "Since you booed our opening act, we aren't playing Teen Spirit."
Hello, It's been 8 yrs since you've posted this and I hope you're doing fine. Looking back, What advice or warning would you give 2013 Jennifer if you could?
Ok, why the heck do I always get this aching nostalgia feeling when I listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit? I wasn't even freaking BORN when the song came out! FML
I remember back in 1990 i was 7 years old and i was listening to rap music like crazy.. one day i walked in my living room and saw these 2 fingers making a power chord and then i heard the most amazing thing i had ever heard in my life.. Smells like Teen Spirit.. i through my oakland raiders jacket out and i found some old ugly clothes and put them on.. a green flannel and a ripped pair of jeans.. that was a moment that changed my life forever..
beautifull!! goosebumps just reading that. No person have or will ever be able so shine like him... He just slapped u araound with two chords. Not even a god could do that
I agree with the whole "this WAS real music" part but the "Grunge died in 1994" part I disagree with. I think it was just the beginning. Nirvana started a legacy and once it was gone more awesome Grunge bands had their time to shine. Nirvana will always be the best Grunge band ever and all 3 members will always be the kings of Grunge.
Saw them live in 93. This guy could be a fucking animal on stage when he wanted to, fantastic energy. What todays music could use is someone like him to give us a swift kick once again.
I remember clearly when "Nevermind" came out, all you heard was "Smells like teen spirit" on the radio. It was like riding a wave.....even for a then, new fan.
why do people always have to put in some sort of negative comment when talking about nirvana? why can't we just say what an amazing and legendary band nirvana was and leave it at that? god forbid we leave videos on a positive note. to quote a few ' well nirvana's not the original grunge and they are not my favorite and blah blah blah. who fucking cares?? no matter what you say, nirvana's power was undeniable, and they have already gone down in history as this amazing band that changed music!!
I agree with Krist at 5.48 where he says 3 people made that record. It wasn't all Kurt.Without Krist and Dave it wouldn't be Nirvana as we all know it!
Yeah, a lot of people never realize that Bleach and that Butch Vig demo with Chad are what got Nirvana signed in the first place. Without either of those recordings, they never would have been able to record Nevermind as we know it. It would've been some stripped down, lo-fi, shitty Nevermind. A lot of people (including Kurt) try to act all cool and say that it would have been better that way, but let's face it, we've all heard Nevermind songs in that form in the box set... Nevermind is much better as it is.
@Anastashia I dont. dont misunderstand this, i know he couldnt have done it alone, ofc, but i think everyone involved in Nirvana music was replaceable except Kurt. and this is a raw, cold truth for some. his voice was very unique, his appearance very appealing, but whats really irreplaceable was his messed up mind. he was the brain of it all.
American Idol does not find Kurt Cobain, the music industry does not find Kurt Cobain, we can't find Kurt Cobain, but he is still out there, he still lives in us
I love how the commentors in the video knew Kurt's every thought and claim that Kurt intended to cause a teenage angst ridden movement. Every interview with Kurt he expresses how his agenda wasn't that deeply calculated. As a fan that's what drew me in 2nd to the fact that the music was explosive. The fact that he didn't have to try and be cool or hype up the bands rep. Which in my opinion is what maded him great. Simply not being fake. :)
I was born in 1980 in Seattle. So i was young when nirvana became a huge force but when they became a global phenomenon I definitely remember the radical change from the 80's scene to the new 90's. They were like the Beatles at that point. And as a kid just hitting puberty the angst rang true. It was cold, it was rainy, it was dreary and it was easy to identify with. That said I was wearing ken Griffey jr. Shirts and refuse to lose, mariners shirts at the time.
good stuff I am from WI I remember when I first heard teen spirit at about the age of 12.. I still remember the time and place at friend's birthday party. He go it as a gift. The world changed that day. I remember when I was about 22 in Madison, you can imagine who I ran into at the local punk bar.
my experience to music came from my uncle, who was a massive stereo fan, and a heavy metal metallica guy, which quickly became my favorite band. when he put in nevermind, i remember it so vividly, that album cover became gold to me, it was the only thing i wanted, but i was only 8 or 9 n wouldnt own it until i was like 13, via napster! walmart didnt have the tape. it was such a different sound to heavy metal an classic rock, which were my only two musical knowings, that an what i thought was shit pop radio music which ive grown to appreciate. wasnt till like 1999 when we got our first comp, and i lived on napster at bout 14 that i finally was able to burn the cd
I see that Nirvana would have wanted to even discuss their specific songs from In Utero. The way he just did Breed was so awesome. I'd like to know if Krist and Dave, and even pat could do that all over again with Nirvana, even if it's like a different parellel universe kind o thing, as in you can't really do the same exact stuff again. I enjoy most of the thought myself or people on vacation or living life and getting the experience of Nirvana live doing all their songs.
I remember exactly where I was when I heard Curt died. I happened to be visiting Disney World and a busboy in a restaurant told me. Probably because I was wearing a Nirvana shirt. All the blood drained out of my face. I remember, later that day, telling "Goofy" to fuck off because Curt Cobain just died.
I wonder what else Kurt Cobain needed in life to be happy.....he probably thought if he left music, his fans would called him a "sell out"......I suppose it's not easy filling in everyone's expectations.....Kurt said once he would of loved to be the drummer in the band, were nobody really know's you....I think that says volumes to what Kurt was really about......being famous wasn't his MO....but he loved writing and playing music......you know there is plenty of musician's who write music and sell it to famous artist....there make a good living doing that....that's what Kurt should of done......I really think he would of been happy listening to his music on the car radio sung by pearl jam or sound garden etc.
He would of killed himself at some point no matter what. He talked and thought about it way before he was famous. He said he was going to be a famous rock star and kill himself at the height of his fame in the 7th grade. He proved he wasn't joking.
if any musician was suicidal.......it was Kurt Cobain......seriously Courtney love couldn't of planned to kill kurt shes to much of a narcissist to of kept it quiet all these years.!!!
how i envy the teenagers the teen spirit video. if only i could have been in high school 18 years ago instead of now!! nirvana IS the best band in the history of music. there will never be a band as amazing as this one.
I see that Nirvana would have wanted to even discuss their specific songs from In Utero. The way he just did Breed was so awesome.

don't these advertisers understand basic psychology? having our area of interest/focus be interrupted by some obnoxious bullshit we don't care about could possibly / probably result in outright avoidance of that product upon future encounters .... I mute all ads, cover my eyes for 15 seconds, and yell "lalalalalala" while rocking my head back and forth - just saying... anyway - thanks for the upload... i love this!
We don't know the future. Take a look at disco for instance; everybody said it died in the 70's but then somehow in the last 5 years, it's come back with a more modern feel to it. A lot of kids my age (I'm 18) are discovering bands like Nirvana everyday. There may be a resurgence of sorts, if not "grunge" then maybe a punk sound or experimental, or a metal sound mixed with punk elements. Who knows! Only time will tell.
I remember my cousin and i were into Gung n Rosie's then Nirvana camealing and my cousin completely forgot about guns n Rosis.. I wasn't so much into Nirvana that kinda broke us apart lol
@shicgh Like hendrix etc... that was a big deal. It was hard to find a lot of left handed guitars for him.. and he loved the mustangs, and Jags..... thus they made him a Jagstang (1993? late 1992?) which was a mix of both.

Sorryscene I was born in 1993 I know exactly what you mean.
But buddy, maybe you were : )
Because depending on how old you are the amazing thing about this song and the video is that it's shows that part of life where we were the most free.
Man. When he sings into the mic on the ground while still playing his guitar. What a moment!
I remember back in 1990 i was 7 years old and i was listening to rap music like crazy.. one day i walked in my living room and saw these 2 fingers making a power chord and then i heard the most amazing thing i had ever heard in my life..

It wasn’t released until late 91.

the original italian commercial of Nevermind in Italy said: "Ugly, Dirty and Bad, they're NIRVANA!" :)
Saw them live in 93. This guy could be a fucking animal on stage when he wanted to, fantastic energy. What todays music could use is someone like him to give us a swift kick once again.
90's were the best period.
Thank you bigindex for uploading this

Oh Kurt, we miss you so very much.
Nirvana was like Da Vinci, Einstein and Mozart. I miss them!

I agree with Krist at 5.48 where he says 3 people made that record. It wasn't all Kurt.Without Krist and Dave it wouldn't be Nirvana as we all know it!
And without Butch Vig, the record wouldn't exist, so really, 4 people made it.
xxoxia if they're parents hadn't given birth to them then they wouldn't have made the album
Yeah, a lot of people never realize that Bleach and that Butch Vig demo with Chad are what got Nirvana signed in the first place. Without either of those recordings, they never would have been able to record Nevermind as we know it. It would've been some stripped down, lo-fi, shitty Nevermind.

Yes, he was murdered. By kurt cobain.
***** I remember I used to be like you. Then I grew the fuck up.
if any musician was suicidal.......it was Kurt Cobain......seriously Courtney love couldn't of planned to kill kurt shes to much of a narcissist to of kept it quiet all these years.!!!
Cognitive Schizo I just imagine all his 7th grade class mates be like "well fuck me... Didn't expect that"
such a creative idea to knock the mic to the floor and get down and sing into it.
how i envy the teenagers the teen spirit video. if only i could have been in high school 18 years ago instead of now!! nirvana IS the best band in the history of music. there will never be a band as amazing as this one.

The Music lives!!! enjoy Yall!!!!
kris and dave miss them obviously they were one of the biggest bands of all time the biggest thing in the 90's they just totally rock
This is really...just really...amazing and beautiful this documentary. I really love it.
I see that Nirvana would have wanted to even discuss their specific songs from In Utero. The way he just did Breed was so awesome. I'd like to know if Krist and Dave, and even pat could do that all over again with Nirvana, even if it's like a different parellel universe kind o thing, as in you can't really do the same exact stuff again.
Aw, Krist
One of the only ones that mattered.
If it wasn't for Nirvana and Metallica, I wouldn't play the guitar (electric and classical). Thank you Kurt, Krist and Dave!
Kurt was a beautiful man. Handsome voice, lol... I sound so gay, but it's true.
You shouldn't try to focus on what they could have been, but more on what they were, a symbol and a fucking gift to humanity.
Golden shower! LOOOOOOL
Fcukin right! I saw Lollapalooza '91 footage!!! Holy shit that show was amazing! NIN was totally dope that day too
My thoughts exactly.
Thanks :*
1:59 I love that, just shows Kurt's great sense of humour.
don't these advertisers understand basic psychology? having our area of interest/focus be interrupted by some obnoxious bullshit we don't care about could possibly / probably result in outright avoidance of that product upon future encounters ....

Nirvana And Metallica Fan As Well!
Iam a Drummer tho.
@SuperBlackops50 Grunge died in 2002! With Layne Stayley. Yeah Kurt was a genius but Layne still played a major part in it.
Wow though... it is unexpected to have the baggage that comes with it. It could be fun for some people.
wise up
I thought the funny part was when Krist called them Golden Shower Television.
lol ok mate, think what yah like yah crazy man
His real name in Croatian is Krist, which translated in English is Christ.
