    One of the things that always gets me is how great the song writing and the guitar work on In Utero are. Kurt was great as far back as the demos for Bleach, but he was still getting better, and the band was really building into something beyond incredible. Those live performances with Pat in the band are just top notch.
    And "You Know You're Right" really leaves us with a big "what if?"

  • @ItsMrMcFly
    @ItsMrMcFly 2 роки тому +289

    This video is just more evidence on how much you can do with a basic (in a good way) Kurt/Nirvana tone. I don't mean that in a bad way at all. I just mean that I've seen countless videos of people trying to nail Kurt's tone and you've done it with stock sounds from a Katana. I feel like any basic distorted sound will get you there and everything else is all feel and playing loose. Another great video bro!

      instead of going out of your way to find kurts exact gear just get whats cheap and works (like a certain someone). my rig is a modded mustang, an old peavy amp i got for free, a samsamp clone and chorus from behringer. both pedals are like $30 and my tone is closer than 90% of the people who have what kurt used

Notice how Soundgarden and Alice in Chains are both considered grunge but don't sound very alike. Nirvana was a grunge band and a punk band, these things aren't mutually exclusive.

      @@bloxsy_ i wonder where i can get one! So pretty tho.
      Bloxsy you should make top 10 best riffs from "Charly Garcia"
      he's an amazing artist. I recommend you "cerca de la revolución"
