      I understood VERY well how lucky I was to be there. Sleeping in a flooded tent. Stood in the middle of the field on an upturned oil drum with my best mates and a yellow waterproof shielding us from the rain. We knew then we were a part of history and have dined out on the experience every since 👌🏻

      ​@LizNewtonZHUCHI yup I've been dining out on this too and I remember the floods well! We were at Reading in 1990 too which was a scorcher, but we saw only a fraction of the bands as we spent the majority of the time stoned on the banks of the Thames, while we kept bottles of white Thunderbird cool in the river. Class 😂

      Me too but... After a while I researched smells like teen spirit and saw a video that explained a little about it. Kurt didn't expect the success of this song and expresses several things in a subliminal way, in short: He hated those teenagers who only saw a song as "fans" and so that's why he started playing Smells Like teen Spirt badly so that the " fans" leave.
      Im from Brazil and take it in google traductor i hope that's right.

      I think they did that because there was talk about the song being ripped off from the boston song.
      But ultimately a lot of songs are comparable in chord progression. Sheeran won that argument as well recently.

    Ever since Kurt said he didn't like Smells Like Teen Spirit, every Nirvana fan feels the need to agree with him and say it sucks because they have taken idol worship beyond the point where they can have their own opinions. Stop telling people that they're not a true fan if this is their favorite, music taste is subjective. It's not my favorite Nirvana song, but I'd put it as one of their best. A proper anthem that everyone should stop putting so much pressure on themselves to not like. End of.

      Yeah, but it was obviously just a little joke at the similar chord progression between Teen Spirit and More Than a Feeling, it had nothing to do with drugs. He was making fun of the people who said he stole the chords from Boston. Pretty badass way to begin your most iconic song if you ask me...
