    This song literally was the death nail in the coffin of 80s glam rock. Changed the music scene overnight. Only around for a few years before the lead singer took his life. Drummer went on to form the Foo Fighters, 25 years strong. They have a string of FFantastic songs - the Pretender, Everlong, Best of You, Learn to Fly, Walk, Run, Rope, White Limo, Big Me, Sky is a Neighborhood.

      It was an amazing time.. remember reading literally hundreds of articles about them. I recall no stations where I lived would play their stuff because it didn't fit on the top 40, wasn't classic rock, rap, country, wasn't metal, so it didn't fit in, so they just wouldn't play it. Started referring to it at first graciously as the Seattle sound... then as the olders clutched their pearls, Grunge was born screaming into the world 😄

    This song CHANGED THE COURSE of music. It put a merciful end to the 1980’s “hair bands” and “glam rock”’where guys looked like chicks. This ushered in “GRUNGE” with other GREAT bands like Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam and other great bands. “GRUNGE” music came out of Seattle, not L.A. like all the “Glam Rock” bands. This song helped change the course of rock and roll.

    I’m constantly blown away by how fresh Mr. Video’s interpretations and impressions of these songs are! I’m also interested that people are so surprised by his comparison of nirvana to rap. Is it so hard to believe? If you look at old interviews you will find that a lot of rappers, Puff Daddy off the top of my head, liked “Nevermind” a lot. When Mr. Video made the point about the pre-chorus, or whatever you would like to call it, I could definitely hear it as a hook for a banger!

    Weird Al Does a great parody. Nirvana unplugged on MTV was an AMAZING live performance. About A Girl and Penny Royal Tea are good ones from there along with The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie cover) and Where Did You Sleep Last Night ( im not certain who the original artist was). They also do Heart Shaped Box which is a good video and Come as You Are is a classic video.

    What you just reacted to was arguably the band & song that ended "80's Metal" and kicked off "Grunge" in the early 90's. Practically overnight, everyone traded in their black leather and hairspray for flannel. I remember it well. Nirvana was historic. Oh... "Teen Spirit" was a popular perfume back then.

    • @MissyGail4eva
      @MissyGail4eva Рік тому

      Smells like Teen Spirit, at I always believed (correctly so, too..though Kurt later deplored his mistaken misappropriation) was a facetiously funny nod to a certain girl's deodorant scent produced by Mennen that was as ubiquitous to the 90's as Bath & Body Works' Sun-Ripened Raspberry body spray, Elizabeth Arden's eau de toilette, 'Sunflowers', and Davidoff's 'Cool Waters'.

  • @OZYM1
    @OZYM1 3 роки тому +3

    Mr. Video, you finally covered my favorite band of all time! Nirvana almost single-handily killed hard rock, or hair metal as it's known sometimes. Pearl Jam played a big part in it also, but most credit deservedly goes to Nirvana. In my personal opinion, lead singer Kurt Cobain was the next, best lyricist and music composer since The Beatles. Paul McCartney and John Lennon of the Beatles & Nirvana's Kurt Cobain did not know what the names of music note structures were called or how those notes specifically affect one another, but all three of these songwriters knew of the new sound patterns and tempo they wanted to create inspired by music they had heard before and they definitely advanced and changed their respective rock genre permanently. If you listen to Nirvana's albums, you will hear a lot of guitar feedback. It was all orchestrated. That to me is amazing, that you purposely created feedback and manipulated that "noise" to sound a certain way. Paul, John and Kurt were all genius songwriters (my apologies to Paul McCartney who is still alive). The three best, in my opinion. And drummer Dave Grohl also never studied music, yet he just taught himself how to play the drums. He is so good, he has been asked by many artists and bands to guest drum on their songs. And as mentioned before, Dave started The Foo Fighters.
