MTV is no longer about music, it's more like reality drama t.v.. we will never have days like this again..
I know. It’s been like that for like three decades too. It feels like some guy made a random UA-cam channel called MTV, but then started posting random bullshit not related to music. That’s what MTV basically is.
@@jackmoseley3742 back then we didn't have phones, the fans at the MTV Unplugged shows were just focused on the Artists, music and having a good time.. it was a different time man.... music sucks now and so does MTV
I love how he says oh like he forgot he's doing a set lmao
@@emmadobbins694 I've been around heroin users, Kurt seemed pretty sober here.
I wish they'd air the whole recording of this, outtakes, screw ups and all.
The entire set was recorded in one take. They didn't redo songs like previous bands had.
There is a whole uncut version of it. I had it and lost it in storage. It was a bootleg of the whole show but you can actually still buy one. And yes, they did do some songs over once or twice again if Kurt didn't like the way it sounded.
@@Gigi1111LaynaI used to have Kiss Unplugged on DVD. The copy I had which I bought off of eBay, had like 4 takes of the same song. So if there was any mistake somewhere, the band would stop the song and start again. There were I think 4 takes of “Beth”, 4 takes of “Rock and Roll All Nite” and 4 takes of a few others.
All you have to do is buy the unplugged DVD that was released later in the 2000s it has it.
I know because I have it.

Time has come today
*two bass notes*
*Time Has Come Today.
Song by The Chambers Brothers, 1966. It's a damn good song for those of you who've never heard it. A classic. ❤
Novoselic always looked like that nerdy kid with cool friends
He also happens to look just like Neville Longbottom from Harry Potter... 🤣🤓
Hes also 6'8" so I doubt he was bullied too bad for being a nerd. Lol
When Kurt said “woiwiowoowoowii” I really felt that. He really understands me and his music gives me reason to live
I love how Kurt just does whatever the fuck he’s feeling in the moment
@chriswalker8893 Nobody made it a competition other than you, also it's
*quitter.
Unfortunately his eureka moment for his indoor skeet/clay shooting with a shotgun didn’t go well in the testing phase on April 5 1994. Although he has mastered his current game of hide and seek is going quite well!
The meat puppets guy on bass, I thought that bass line sounded too legit
Definitely knew it wasn't Kris or krist I can't remember dudes name
@@rockyevans1584The Kirkwood Brothers happened to be named Cris (bass) and Curt (guitar).
Cris Kirkwood one of the top 10 great and highly underrated bassists
Kurt Cobain and Ronnie Van Zant....2 hugely important voices in music, taken from the world way too soon.
Way way too soon
Ronnie was my friend
Had they met, they would have dug each other being so true to themselves in common.❤
I would’ve absolutely loved a session like this of them playing classic rock and blues and funk and stuff. I know they had the ability, especially with Meat Puppets backing then up.
He didnt want to, because that band Is associated with conservatives, and you know that stuff Is ofc very bad
That was the thing about Nirvana they were rarely fun, cuz they're wet blanket of a front man sucked pretty much all the energy out of the room, it's not like Layne, who outside of addiction was fun and goofy, like Kurt always had this weird confrontational attitude, like it almost pissed him off to enjoy anything, same with his contempt for his audience that only someone like Billy Corgan would tip his hat too
This was the best bass playing at a nirvana concert ever.
I'm from Alabama. Sweet Home Alabama was even played at the prom lol. This made me smile 😅
Krist is like the guy who shows up at a high school party with his uncle.
Love how they all just casually smoking there, looks so chill.
Kurt looks so happy in this 😢
Kurt let his guard down for a second. He was so excited right before and when he said oooooo. That was the kid in Kurt. He shut it off real quick.
would have been awesome if he actually sang it normally, probably would have sounded great
I don't know how a single soul put up with Kurt, he seemed like such a joyless, smug, confrontational person, any moment of levity from him was so labored,
This was the greatest time in my life...1990s....SALUTE!
*Time Has Come Today
A song by The Chambers Brothers, 1966. A great song, if you've never heard it... with psychedelic sounds. It's awesome. ❤
Dave was so proud of Kurt
That drummers got a bright future ahead of him you wait
@@karl-heinzepchen1280I’d say even if you don’t like him, he did flip a unfortunate situation to make a hell of career for himself
And Dave grohl was the punchline for many jokes among other drummers
@@karl-heinzepchen1280 excuse me...overrated and arrogant?....dave grohl is mad successful...and he only gets mad if he is told to play nirvana songs...thats justified
@@TLC1256 Tried to be ironic! Didn't work well with your reception. Which is understandable, if you're just reading it, without watching my grinning face. I'm pretty aware, that he is one of the most humble and down to earth people in the "Rockbiz". And yeah, I've heard he also sold some records during his career.😉
Trust Krist Novoselich to fuck up yet another situation hilariously without any intent 😂
In everything this outstanding singer songwriter done/did it wasn't just from the soul but from the total core of his soul ❤ lisa chill
I completely forgot Neville longbottom was in Nirvana
@Wildflowerzzz-it’s hahahaha. Not buha. You don’t want to be known as the buha guy.
This was when I knew Nirvana was legit!
Chris started singing the Chamberlain brothers!
"The time has come today" songs name is "Time" the meat puppet guy started playing the bass to it for a second also!
I'm sure no one realized!
Dave grohl smile was like
Yeah that my boy
I know he wouldn't have performed it but I feel like deep down they wanted too lol
Dave was pushing for them do sliver for like the whole second half of the set but Kurt kept declining it
WHY DOES KURT LIKE MEOWING AT THE BEGINNING....IT SOUNDS SO CUTE
Kurt's the fuckin best! 😂
Mtv was something everyone had on after school. You go to a person’s house and everyone turned mtv on and talked about music. Either someone had a guitar or a keyboard. If you were lucky someone had a drum set. We looked at magazines and rode dirt bikes. I remember everyone getting a summer job and buying tickets to a concert or two. We spent weekends in the woods drinking beer and smoking weed near a fire and making out with a girl. We spent the spring watching mtv before we went to a fishing hole behind my neighbors house. We didn’t have cell phones or the internet to distract us from just living. I was just concerned about myself and my family.
god that bass tone is so good
I love how mad people are in the comments it’s hilarious
The 90s were about sarcasm, irony, integrity and questioning authority. The 2020s are about dense dorks who are applauded for selling products. And we root for cops.
@@coryvincent1932 don’t forget the billionaire worshippers who hawk bitcoin cuz they’re brainwashed and were born with a ton of extra money
This advertisement was brought to you by Nirvana
ronnie van zant would be proud
Being Ronnie's friend I agree with you
They had things in common
❤❤
One of the greatest legends of all time ❤❤❤❤ R.I.P. Curt 😢
I really wish they would’ve covered that song that sounded so good!! 😭
He could fart down the mic and everyone would still listen
Yea and Dave in the back saying "I AIN'T FARTING ON NO SNARE DRUM MAN"!
Kurt’s poor nutsack had to be stretched to his knees from all the ppl hanging on them lol
Kurt and Dave smoking!!!
I miss the freedom of the 90's!!!
you could say stuff and nobody dies, you didn't get cancel, you could smoke... and a long list of more things
I miss the days when you could smoke and not have to hide in a corner
@@kurdtacolbain731 it's missed...
anyway, one car contaminates 10,000 times more than one cigarrette.
one bus, idk... 70,000?? 80,000 times??
I would have to smoke *ten thousand* cigarretes to equal a car turned on 5 min.
cars and buses still everywhere, and you breath all that contamination every day... and yet you think you've made a change because you don't have to breath the smoke of something that contaminates 1/10,000 less than one car... and you think you made a difference quitting that 1/10,000 part🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
That's really FUNNY!!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@carlostejada1479 cigarette smoke still stinks. So does auto exhaust and many industrial processes.
🤨Essa melodia que o Nirvana toca parece o arranjo do começo da melodia de uma música mais famosa da banda brasileira Charlie Brown Jr música = todos os defeitos de uma mulher perfeita.quem mais percebeu galera do Brasil?.?.?
Happy birthday for today Kurt I love this clip you were definitely one of a kind and I loved your humer and sarcasm in interviews ❤❤
MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG I'VE EVER HEARD, THIS RECREATION BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE SO BEAUTIFUL
@@kurtcobain9944 HOLY SHIT BRO HOW DID YOU COME BACK FROM THE DEAD?!?!?
I am so glad he paid that song no respect.
A serious take of this tune would've fit right in with the rest of the songs on the record and just goes to show how great these guys were.
Two Brilliant And important Rock icons. Ronnie Van Zant and Kurt Cobain
Without a doubt the best unplugged set MTV ever made. AiC is a close second.
Literally the best version of this song
You weren't in the shoes
You weren't even a glimmer In your father's eye, yet you speak of something you couldn't possibly know of
How unfortunate for us all
Bro my man looks so cozy🥺
I'm homesick for this time... I miss you much😢😢😢
I appreciate all styles of music and artists so therefore I'm happy to say that he was an amazing artist and I'm grateful for his contributions!
Krist kills me everytime😂
I was thinking that! I always felt he was like the kid who didn't quite fit in but tried so hard lol
I guess he didn’t know the words to “Sweet Home.”
He constantly fucked around with deep incomprehensible vocals, he did so with his own songs on top of the pops so it's more likely he was just taking the piss
@@mattiascrowe2549 cool. I like 80’s rock style personally (nothing wrong with nervona, just not my flavor I guess), but Stevie Ray did the same thing before he got sober.
He knew the words.Its just tired old beat to death top 40 nonsense.Leave the cheese to Kid Rock.
Funking brilliant band got some good memories listening to them
Mind-blowing performance
love the wiOioOwoeowiw at the beginning ❤️
The Skynard diss makes sense considering ol Neil “granddaddy of grunge” so heavily influenced the entire late 80s Seattle music scene. And we know “ol Neil put Her down.”
"Southern band don't need him" around anyhow I love how he is still getting roasted till this day
I was never a big nirvana fan . But say what you want this mtv show was the best of the best the best of nirvana and the best of all the unplugged . When they do where did u sleep last night . You can feel it you know kurt really did have the magic
Он лучше! И меня радует что его слушает новое поколение!!!Курт ЖИВ! И ВИКТОР ЦОЙ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's the best song they have ever played
Those southern boys would have kicked their ass
I totally agree ! Lynyrd Skynyrd is a true band with Southern Pride and if they were alive they would have kicked the shit out of these assholes.
Damn now I get why Kurt didn’t wanna do their song.
I thought they were nice guys I had no idea Skynard were a bunch of violent assholes
Kurt would have taken out his girly perfume and ran after the cowardly southern boys, spraying it wildly
😃 👑NIRVANA is Queen👑🎸😃
Nice song. People who are from Alabama feel happy. Thanks for sharing
Sweet home Alabama may be a very overrated song but it just happens to be a very good song and it really pisses me off that they could mock such a great rock band
Agreed, Pop-Rock whining not even in the same league as true Rock Legends, He was notorious for crediting music to the wrong artists. He released "In the Pines" and credited it to a blues singer when, in fact, it's a bluegrass song decades before the blues artists recorded it. Tragic that he took his own life but a very operated band.
Don't dis skyward. Junkie boy. And I like your music lost them cos a plane lost you cos ???? HUGS NOT. DRUGS kiddies. Such a lost rip
@@RAllenlawsonNirvana reinvented rock and roll, get over it. I was 7 when Nevermind came out, and I got the cassette for Christmas. I was listening to my dad's tapes, pink floyd, foreigner, Billy Squier, rod Stewart, the cars, talking heads.. And then I got nevermind. It completely blew my fucking mind.
Yeah as much as I love alternative Ronnie Van Zant was a MILLION times better a singer and song writer vs Kurt. Sorry not sorry
I love Ronnie and Kurt, two of my favorite bands, both gone to would, Ronnie was gone to early to even meet Kurt, Kurt born to late, a shame, they would definitely hate eachother though lol
It's amusing just how pretentious Kurt Cobain was. 🤣
@@grungeunion3451 no he wasn't, Kurt Cobain was a self obsessed, destructive junkie, he was judgemental, opinionated and had his head so far up his own arse he couldn't see how pretentious he was.He had little respect for his fans and constantly bitched and moaned about his position in life when clearly he had made enough money to walk away from the fame he so desperately claimed to hate. His ego was in the process of tearing his band apart. He was a one trick pony that was never going to evolve and you could see that in the bands later albums.His refusal to collaborate with his band mates in any part of the writing process literally sealed the bands fate, another example of his ego. So fuck romanticising the man, he was, what he was.
Grohl was so creepy :D
Im glad we have all these old vids & sometimes it fuckin sucks bc I get sad >> r.i.p blue eyes 💙
$Ooo HOT, LOVE THEM/HIM LOTS❤❤❤❤👍🤛🤛🤛👏👏👏👍🤩❣️❣️❣️
Dave Smokin cigs
Eu amo essa parte do acústico!
Don’t ever disrespect me wearing my nana marges sweater from the 60s in St. Petersburg , Florida ...........you heard .
Dont ever disrespect me looking like Jax teller and Mr Rogers love child ya herd? 😂
Don't ever disrespect me when my hair ain't been washed in a month ...ya heard.
it's BEYOND amazing that all of us know Nems and his don't ever disrespect me series of videos on a nirvana unplugged video. lol
I remember listening to the cd of this unplugged show religiously. Literally. I listened to it in church lol.
The bassist knew the assignment
Even if Kurt wasnt an insanely talented musician, his stage presence was unbeatable.
@@richardjones6402 he wasnt overly talented? if thats what you mean i agree
The phrase, "hey, wait! I have a new complaint." is everything of what we have today!
Makes me miss middle school... 90s is the last great decade
Oh he's so great
Actually they are making fun of the song and the people who listen to that kind of music. These are just spoiled priveledged liberals who kinda play music.
Calling Kurt Cobain, a heroin addict who was homeless and killed himself in his mid 20s a "privileged liberal" is peak conservative
What’s more hilarious is Ronnie Van Zant was a self proclaimed liberal himself! Listen to the song “Saturday night spacial” it’s about getting rid of handguns. He didn’t like guns for personal defense and said as much in interviews. As much as I think Kurt is a smug lib here, he and Van Zant were more alike in beliefs than he would ever dream! Either way I could give two shits. Believe whatever you want. Ronnie was a million times more talented IMO.
Them playing an actual version of this would have probably been great..
They were punk rockers. Honestly think they would play a serious version if fn sweet home alabama?😂😂😂😂
krist always kills me such an unintentionally hilarious human being
❤😊
That’s such a cool cover. Would’ve loved to have a full version (with Kurt actually singing… or maybe not)
Nirvana is no Lynyrd Skynyrd.
@@c.j.rogers2422 Kurt had a lot of respect for all those bands Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cream and all those..he and Krist toured local shitty gigs doing covers under different band monikers just to pay for gas and food and to be able to tour their own songs when they booked a gig. He was just over singing it for years and effing about.
@@c.j.rogers2422easurable? Bro you can't measure impact and talent. Oh they had better guitarists. Wow. That's not enough. He also had alot of respect for them. So cut the crap
I used to listen to the entire Unplugged album on Vinyl while stoned as hell. That was the best.
King of grunge
Most overrated guy and band in history of music
Can’t u just enjoy his music, why u give a fuck if people like him too much I hate that argument
If you react, be it positive or negative: you contribute to his popularity 😂
Most overrated band in music history!
I don't think I've really ever come across another band who's music resonated so much with my soul. So, overrated? Nah. You just have your preference, but there's a very legitimate reason why they were and are still huge.
@@user-tf9mi6sq2e atleast skynrds front man didnt take the easy way out. rode it out!
@@jeffreyjenkins3894 I mean I agree but we’re talking about music not personal lives
Back when MTV is a show full of talented people 😢
Amazing story man! Powerful stuff 💥
What did Krist say? I’ve listened to it ten times and still can’t make out what he’s saying.
Time has come today - from the Bros Johnson song “Time” that you can mash up w Sweet Home Ala
@@viktor1970-Because the note progression & Kurt's "vocals" mimics a slowed mix-up of The Chambers Brother's "Time".
He could've @ least attempted the lyrics. Who in the world doesn't know Sweet Home Alabama?? Jesus, nothing like disrespecting a legendary band like Skynard.
Kurt alone is bigger than Skynyrd he can do what he wants so lay down your confederate flag
@mozdaboz yeah he got so big he blew up they found pieces of him everywhere!!🤣🤣🤣
@@mozdaboz Oh here we go, now suddenly I have a Confederate flag & I must be a racist because I named Skynard a legendary band. Listen here you ignorant snowflake, I’m a long time drummer & was merely speaking on the MUSICAL merits of them, & the fact that that Cobain didn’t know the lyrics to one of their most popular songs, speaks volumes on his lack of musical culture.
@@mozdabozwhen did anyone mention the flag? Ronnie was actually liberal in his beliefs and as far from a racist as there is. Maybe do some research before getting all triggered over something literally nobody even brought up but yourself!
@@nordicpride9708 So you're ignorant about the fact that one of their guitarist has a confederate flag designed guitar and their current frontman even ties the flag in his mic lmao
Wow so very good 👍🏻
I love krist 🤣
High all the time, dead at 27. What an inspiration to us all.
He would only be a musical inspiration. Anyone looking for any public figure to be more than that will almost always be disappointed. Also, except for the morons in Holywood, or a few in sports like James, most don't want to be idolized or thought of to be more than their talents.
It takes someone special to write and play music that touches so many peoples souls. He was a damaged person unfortunately, and damaged people struggle a lot in life. You may not have any empathy in your soul, and that would make you a sociopath
@@choosetolivefree Lack of empathy = sociopath? I think there are a few more parameters to call someone that.
@@rman52 "Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental health condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others"
I take it Kurt didn't notice they were back from a commercial break.
It was never broadcast live. It's prerecorded
@@wildkeith it’s also theatrics on his end. they rehearsed everything with the production team beforehand. also, kurt pretended to be aloof, but was actually arguably the most meticulous member of the group. i highly doubt he was actually this unaware here.
@@portlandgoose4727 Yeah, his whole schtick was that he couldn't care less about anything, but he in fact cared very much so and was really hard on himself. In fact, I'd even say that character he put on was a protective measure for his self-esteem.
@@wildkeith yeah you can read in his diaries he was insecure (a little) about the band and hated critique.
Actually I have the newer edition of the unplugged and if you play the complete unedited version this is in it.. there's a lot more in it..
All the regular audio that's on the albums come from the TV edited version. Shorter.
