      At the start of a concert this is not a problem, but u'll feel it afte a while. Look at Rammstein, those guys are big af, and they sound always awesome when they're live. Its amazing to see them live, (not just the performance and everything, but the music itself, and how they all make it happen like clockwork.

    This song is the best Nirvana song, in my opinion. I love the lyrics. No one can write the way Kurt did. Kurt was an artist and a genius. his inner turmoil gave him the ability to write, perform, sing, play, inspire others. his lyrics were one of his greatest strengths. he didn't need someone else to compose a song for him, like a lot of artists today do. he had the thoughts in his head, and made them into great music. I write poetry to express my thoughts. I relate to how much Kurt loved to write out his thoughts

    Here's the thing guys. We've kind of been through this phase of shitty music before in the 80's with hair bands. Now they werent as bad as what were making today but still not great. But after a decade they went away because of a huge rock band. My theory is that in the 2020's well have a resurrection of good ol rock and roll.

    Kurt Kobain is a musical god, don't get it twisted. The man has written a song that has shattered every human emotion.
    seriously, though, why are you freaking out about his music? I cant imagine he wanted you to base your life of of his words, he understood he was a man. His realization of his humanity made him transcendent, but not a deity.

      According to www.kurtsequipment.com/effectspage.htm Kurt started using the DS-2 in February 1992 and this concert took place in August 1992. So, unless you show me a pic or screenshot that clearly shows it's a DS-1, I'm sticking with my original answer.

    Since no one is posting about the facts of this song, I'll do it. "About A Girl" is Kurt's attempt to make a song with the style of The Beatles' music. As you can see at 0:50, Kurt is trying to imitate John Lennon's stance because hes a huge John Lennon fan.

    Something that a lot of people don't understand about Kurt is that he was super hard on himself. When he made mistakes he often intentionally fucked it up worse, either to make fun of himself or berate himself, to take the piss out of himself before someone else did, or maybe even to hide the fuckup in the first place and pretend like it was intentional the whole time. He had a good sense of humor but I really think it sometimes bothered him when he fucked up.

    and he wrote this song for his girlfriend, at the time, Tracy.. but he didn't say to her that, even though he was practicing it in front of Tracy..
    so he played that song to Chad (former drummer) and Krist and they liked it and asked what it was called and he said "i don't know". then Chad asked what it was about, and Kurt said "About a girl".

    Reading & Leeds Fest used to be so great. Now it's just filled with shitty rappers and pop singers.

    How pop songs should be, I know its not pop. But my GLOB does it remind me of pop.
