So, my question to you is if there is a song I haven’t heard but I should have heard it by now, should I not make a reaction because it would seem ingenuine even though it is completely true?
In not a huge.nirvana fan, but they have some good stuff. I would recommend Lithium. That or more alice in chains! Keep it rockin brotha.
I think you should post your reaction but.... plz react to scars by I prevail
You wanna see something incredible? Check out 1000 drummers playing smells like teen spirit.
Here's the link:

You havent reacted to new speed metal, please react to Enforcer - Katana (live by fire) !
Judas Priest - victim of changes
This can't be true, that you haven't heard this song, NO WAY!
Agree, i call bulshit haha
like the others "1st time hearing queen bohemian rhapsody "or "1st time hearing (any linkin park songs)"
Right?
This guy is a fraud on EVERYTHING. He calls his videos Hip Hop head's for Click Bait. Cause if he'd called them metal head listening to metal. NOBODY would give a fuck. Plus he says first time listening to Metallica, Nirvana or any of the BIGGEST bands on earth... he's full of shit.
There is no way he is making any money, surely these videos are claimed the second they go up.
Next vid:
"first time hearing happy birthday"
Hahahaha
WAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAA
Daniel Kabakov FACTS THO LOLOLOLOL
HAHAHA =))))
LOL yess
This song is responsible for killing off an entire era of music and paving the way to the grunge era.very important song in music history.
@Daniel De Leon noone was talking to you clown.
Likewise
Alice in chains were before
@@snoppe87 alice in chains was first and I love alice in chains but they were still a band to a limited fanbase.it was nirvana with this song in particular who broke through to everyone and was the biggest intro to the grunge era.to sum it up alice in chains fanbase grew because of nirvana,not the other way around.
@@snoppe87 think the difference was nirvana's first album was huge and the second failed in comparison while alice in chains first album was big but their second was the moneymaker.by the time that came out pearl jam had already slid in as second in command for the grunge king.
I'm 46 years old and remember when this came out! I was wild and would get into the mosh pits slamming everyone as hard as my 100lb body could back then....and could hold my own! Today? My son is 18yrs old and Nirvana is one of his fav bands! Kurts legacy will live on forever! RIP Curt...
@Holly Carey I'm 46, born Sept.1973 & yeah I remember the 'mosh pits' of the day. I was only a few of female's who enjoyed the 'mosh pit'. I'm only 5 foot 2 & at the time-110lb, like you I held my own! (I usually knew most the blokes & other gals). Today, I have a 27yr old daughter who has been to more concerts & music festivals, @ home & around the world, than I could ever have dreamt of 4 myself. But she says she's still envious that I was alive when Curt Cobain & Nirvana toured, etc. RIP Curt.
Aryan Bianca I was Born October 73! I had JUST read your reply yesterday before picking up my son from work and on the way home we were listening to Nirvana and he made the comment "I would do anything to have gone to one of their concerts!" I thought about your response! We lost SO MANY INCREDIBLE musicians of that era! Those of us who where able to experience it in its prime prob don't realize how lucky we were!! My 18yr old just got his first tattoo and came home with an Alice In Chains tat! My oldest is 26! We started early didn't we!? I turned 20yrs old 20 days after having him basically grew up myself with him. 😉. Take care!!
So funny, Im 46, 5’1” but never attempted mosh pit, however I did make it to the first Lollapalooza. Damn those were the days. I know I sure smoked a lot of weed and was known for rolling up perfect joints. Lol. Hefner is making me relive those wild years. 🤘🏻
you spelled kurt with a c.....
The song that kick started an entire genre and he's never heard it lol
It was the anthem of a generation...my generation...
There is music you haven't heard either so calm down kid
@@Theorangecrushgamer I'm 43....
@@drumorrison7625 my response was not to you.
@Jon0807 This song STILL plays on the radio AND in movies...even my 4 yr. Old has heard it! 😂
"I love the drums too they're absolutely phenomenal."
That's Dave Grohl my dude. He's an exceptional talent.
I wonder how many people don't know that David Grohl was the drummer for Nirvana before being lead for Foo Fighters.
Kurt called Dave a human metronome!
some of the most basic drumming in rock....however, his drumming on the Queens of the stone age album was PHENOMENAL!
@@buckfuttler2877 by the numbers
@@NvrLucky43 huh?
Hey, that drummer looks like the guy from Foo Fighters
Sarcasm
David Belcher nah it can’t be Dave, Dave has a wider jawline and a beard
This joke doesn't get old lmao
Hell no! No way! Dave Grohl's The Man. This is some babyface stoner teen with mop hair.
lol. . Love Dave Grohl
He also looks like the guy that played drums for Queens of the Stone Age on Songs for the Deaf
The song sounds like the tempo is a little faster than it should be.
Tami Ramos Thank you. Drove me a bit crazy.
Yea it definitely is, was JUST thinking that and started checking the comments lol
He has to, to stop the copyright strike on his video
Yea, me too! I made video go slower cause this fast was too strange to watch xD
@@mylifessoboring3404 I don't see that happening with his other videos?
“I love the drums in here to they’re absolutely phenomenal” you think he knows the drummer is Dave grohl of the foo fighters?
allenlowe12 Probably not until he reads the comments.
I doubt it, Foo Fighters, who are they. LOL
i kept waiting for that realization lol
@@JaromWorthen ROFL :D
How in the gods name have you never heard that song before
its called lying
@Jew Adolf yea but he wasn't born 2 weeks ago
Right!? This song literally killed fucking glam metal of the 80s
@FatalPies because dudes dressing up and wearing makeup to look like bitches isnt something that deserves to survive
Glam rock is not better than grunge lmao fuck free speech my opinion matters more than all of you
React to: FiRST Time Drinking a glass of Water..
Why do you fucking mellenials think everyone likes what you like and knows what you know it is hubris I have heard of korn but the only thing I know about them is they are illiterate just like you do not care about my groups the dave Clark five the stones cream the platters frank sinatra the eagles ect get point !!!?? They are no one to you little kids or those not into that genre I hate metal so I ignore it get a life kids
Davey Houston i dont understand what this means
@@daveyhouston Wtf are you talking about? This is an open comment section, people can comment whatever they want, it's not directed at you. Shut up, Boomer.
@@daveyhouston OK boomer
Ken Uy boomer? He’s probably Gen X.
First time hearing Nirvana in 2019? Dude do you have internet?
or tv, or radio
@@pelgervampireduck exactly. I first time heard them in begining of 2000 by sudden on CD. That song was you know you right. I even knew them when it was difficult to find any musician or song you want.
It’s a crock of shit dude,Iheard them first 30 odd years ago but the song is played on every fucking channel!!
@De an or is he a human?
He is fucking liar
Does the song sound slightly higher pitched or sped up to anyone else?
Yeah I thought it was in a higher key too
Nope sounds normal to me
Definitely pitched up slightly.
Sped up a bit
I don’t hear anything but oh well
Now you have to watch the Weird Al parody of this. Smells Like Nirvana.
YES
ua-cam.com/video/FklUAoZ6KxY/v-deo.html
Honestly yeah - it'd be the perfect followup, in an ideal world he'd have done them back to back but alas.
Just make sure to watch the video and not just hear the song.
Gotta throw my support behind this... it really is a great idea.
Next video
"First time hearing Michael Jackson"
"First time hearing Justin Bieber"
"First time hearing Queen"
How dear you put that garbage of Justin Bieber in the same lines as Michael Jackson and queen
@@johncardoso7100 lmao yeah he's garbage but I think EVERYONE has at one point in their life heard a song from justin bieber
Justin who? 🤔
already did a first time hearing queen.
😆
Smells like Teen Spirit is the "I want to Hold your hand" of my generation. Music changed overnight because of Nirvana. Period
Seriously? Is your next reaction going to be to the Happy Birthday song? 😂😂 I thought everyone had heard this at some point. Would love for you to add Empire of the Clouds by Iron Maiden to your list. Please?
Empire of the clouds is a fking masterpiece
YA EMPIRE BOIIII
YEAH EMPIRE!
Ikr. This is just pathetic at this point
Yess iron maiden pleasee
next video: MY FIRST TIME HEARING THE SOUND OF A DOORBELL
Oh, you made me laugh!
Best comment ever!
Hahahahaha!
Hahahah
Lol
I believe you never intentionally listened to this song. But you've heard this song ... out in the world. Just like you've heard Pachelbel's "Canon".
Canon in D is my absolute favorite piece ever written, followed by anything Nirvana
I honestly envy the fact that you get to listen to this song for the very first time 😭
either the title is 100% pure click-bait or you've been living under a rock in the middle of nowhere all your life, everyone's heard this tune
I'd bet many in 3rd world countries haven't
@@mikepshena fair point
ben Jovi hardly a fair point seeing as the video creator clearly doesn’t live in a 3rd world country.
Well when you are typically a close minded rap listener that listens to nothing but rap or just one genre for the matter most of your life you're obviously not going to know any other song or band
1 sonofabiscuit I could understand that if it wasn’t a song that’s literally engraved into modern culture. This would be like someone raised primarily on rock music to say they’ve never heard “gangstas paradise” or “lose yourself”
In some way, shape or form, you have heard at least PART of this song.
Are you living under a rock during this whole time?
IKR one of the most iconic songs ever
The bands from the 90's Grunge Era [ Nirvana..Soundgarden..Pearl Jam..Alice in Chains to name a few ] were phenomenal.
Wow the drummer looks like the singer from Foo Fighters!
😆😆😆
Thats because he is...
I thought that just a bit younger.
Omg, he actually looks like that. Black magic
steven vansteeger impossible
That drummer looks like the lead singer of Foo Fighters. /s
Well, it's the same person dude...
The oldest joke in the internet and Josefine lost ;-)
It is man
Can't believe people still fall for this ancient joke lmao
@@MetaliBlack666 😂😂😂
MY FIRST TIME BREATHING OXYGEN REACTION - "this is really cool"
The importance of this song in my life and millions of others is insane. The first band I ever gravitated to. It literally changed my life when I came home and heard this..Remember it to this day..
Need to watch Come as you are now. When you said the drums are really good I was like "duh it's Dave Grohl"
Nirvana Unplugged - Where Did You Sleep Last Night? You're welcome. Actually, the whole Unplugged set is phenomenal.
so true, Nirvana Unplugged is one of the best live performances ever! 😍
"We all know what happen to Kurt Cobain"..
You should really try listen to Come as you are..
I grew up listening to Nirvana, and they’re still my favorite band ever, so to hear that someone went what, 20 years(?) without ever listening to them?! That’s wild to me man.
Next up:
MY FIRST TIME HEARING QUEEN. “We Will Rock You “ reaction
Another Nirvana song you should do is:
“Come As You Are”
GhostSniper One of the best songs of the ‘90’s
Yes yes yes I love that song so so much
He should react to the entire album
Or lounge act
Old 90'S High School Music
this song changed the world. I am so glad I was a teen when this dropped, was an incredible time for music
React to Savior by Rise Against!
Think he already did
@@harjotchaggar4816 he did not, but definitely should
"Hero of war" would be better for reaction I think
Survive
@@Puckduckackack Though its a great song, I think he should start from their hit.
"This is really cool!"
Well, no shit. It's... Nirvana. What did you expect? 🤷♂️
I dont like them
@@joshuagarcia2642 weel,you are from this crapy generation whit no music taste,so that shit is normal......but they are probably the best 2 band to exist...ever 1 is The Beatles...
@@RST-R-MODS can tell u have trash tastes in music then u pleb
@@RST-R-MODS but beatles and nirvana best two bands? Man... You sound boring as all hell.
You should react to weird Al's cover of this, smells like nirvana. VERY entertaining.
yes . Al got most of the crowd from the Nirvana shoot back for his cover and it looks as just as good if not better !
peacex
@@yaktaxi1234567 I didn't know that. Thanks for the little fun fact.
Kurt contain was the originator of the “grunge” sound. He was a genius. His death had a profound effect on many people. My son was in junior high & he went into such a depression that we had to have him hospitalized because we were worried about suicide. He just was so negatively affected. I wonder how many others were affected like my son.
Kurt was far from the originator of the "grunge" sound. The Pixies, The Melvin's, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, Green River, etc were playing "grunge" type music years before Nevermind. Y'all just make up bs.
"HIP HOP HEAD'S FIRST TIME HEARING AMERICA'S NATIONAL ANTHEM! STAR SPANGLED BANNER!"
In all seriousness, he should watch the Jimi Hendrix performance.
little extra-knowledge if you didn't already know:
The drummer of Nirvana was Dave Grohl who is now the singer of the Foo Fighters.
also, the song seemed a bit pitched up and the solo was cut into half the original length.
He pitch shifted the tone because copyright
And music videos tend to cut out parts of songs
This is one of those songs that sticks with you forever...you just never forget that flow and sound. Great reaction bro, keep these coming.
First time hearing? Where have you been living, The Moon?
Ok, Kurt himself requested Pixies, "Where is my mind" is good start!
Where is my mind reminds me of Nirvana. You can see where kurt gets his influence.
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise at that suggestion...
Well, that's the thing, the song he is most closely mimicking with this song is Gouge Away.
That drummer is Dave Grohl, also of Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age to name a few.
vocalist for the Foo Fighters. crazy talented guy. he really continued where Nirvana left off after Curt's death. as much as i want this channel to get away from the mainstream music, i'd be ok with some Foo Fighters reactions.
@@anester1866 When UA-cam commenters think they control the content of a channel. Hilarious.
@@ryanm5578 they pretty much do, without people commenting and telling him what they like or dislike his channel might not succeed if he's making videos about shit no one cares about so fuck outta here dumb ass nigga
@@ryanm5578 when assholes think they control the content of someone's feelings
He's been in everything.
Listen to ‘Where is my mind’ by ‘The Pixies’ please
Wondering why no one else is suggesting the Pixies to piggyback on this? 100% you're on it. "Where is My Mind?" is an amazing song, though not typical, and so I'm not sure I'd recommend it as the first to listen to. I'd say "Hey."
‘Here comes your man’ would be good as well
YES
Is she weird
Back then this video played on MTV every five minutes.
Love the fact your finally reacting to nirvana. Their drummer back then was Dave grohl who is now the lead singer of legendary rock band the Foo Fighters so I really hope more nirvana reactions turns into foo fighters reactions. Would be cool to see 🤘🏻🔥
Intakejake agreed
But HOW is this your first time? Like how tf have you avoided it?
clearly bullshit
How did he avoid it?? He's obviously more intelligent than the rest of us. Most overrated song by the most overrated band in grunge/rock
@@riva1xking440 oh please. Cobain and Nirvana were labeled "The Best in 90s grunge"
People must've forgotten about Alice In Chains and Soundgarden. Nirvana was overrated.
I had no idea there was grunge elitists as well.
@@tomtanaka841 I had no idea I wasn't allowed to have my own opinion
I was 31 when this came out. We had almost a decade of no decent rock. It was depressing. This song brought real rock back. The main line was “here we are now, entertain us.” We all understood that one and it was perfect. Yes, please. We needed them so badly and this changed everything...for about 13-15 years, then it all died again. Damn. I miss the 60’s, 70’s, 90’s...we need this to happen again.
Your reactons do seem pretty genuine,
like how someone back in the day might react the first time.
It's almost like I feel happy for you, as I watch you hear this,
as if you were an adult eating ice cream for the first time.
Everyone should feel happy for you and share in this joy.
React to " Where Did You Sleep Last Night" by Nirvana
Thanks for your input, Mike!
Mike Hunt yes
I literally choked on my cup of orange juice when i saw this notification. I was like how tf has he listened to hammer smashed face but he hasn't ever listened to smells like teen spirit🤯🤯🤯
your contagious energy makes your vids great keep it up Alex ~ you're gonna play on Sundays
That's good I'm glad you're enjoying Nirvana that's my favorite band you should react more of them.
I swear to god the song sounds sped up..
Esoteric Eclipse its not what on my CD, that’s for sure
It is sped up a bit and it is also one semitone higher pitched
Yeah it doesn’t sound right it’s far too fast and wow the last like minute sounds so high pitched
You can hear the song in his headphones after the picture in picture video has ended. So that's probably sped up but he's probably listening to it normal.
It’s to avoid copyright lol
Pearl Jam - Black and Foo Fighters - the pretender
This brings up so many memories from back in the day when this came out and was all the rage on parties and school concerts. I was one of the nerdy kids active behind the scenes. Nobody had a driver's license for a proper car, so the farmer boys helped out, carting around the band's equipment behind a 50's tractor at a staggering 19km/h. Oh, good old days. I still have this song on a 45rpm record, you know, these VINYL thingies.
Congrats, you've discovered the song that, it could be argued, put the last nail in the coffin of 80s hair metal.
Alex Hefner reacts too: “Hearing a human talk for the first time.”
Seriously dude where have you been😂
Still love the channel though 🤙🏻
😂😂😂
There's plenty of music today that I haven't heard and people would say "Wait, you're telling me you haven't heard this? Bullshit!"
It's like "Motherfucker, the radio station I listen to plays mostly 90's and older music."
I would highly recommend Whispers in the Dark by Skillet
Or any Skillet for that matter
I would say Monster, but Skillet, please
How can you guys listen to skillet
@@doedskvad4086 well I put the music on, and turn it up louder...then I sit back and enjoy...
@@doedskvad4086 how can you listen to 4 gay dudes dressed up in Halloween costumes?
You should react to " Something in the way "
Boring
@@j_velazquez307 not boring I guess. But it does sound sad.
Come as you are!
@@j_velazquez307 it's wlabout him living under a bridge not boring.
Nirvana was the historic change from hair bands to grunge music! All-time favorite band that came out when I was 17.
You should now react to Wierd Al Yankovic's "Smells Like Nirvana".
Seconded.
FUCK YES!!!
Dude this should be the top comment with 300 Likes minimum. ;-)
100% This.
Yes! That's the first thing I thought.
Okay I’m calling this one lol I’ve believed them all till now there’s not way he’s never heard Smells Like Teen Spirit 🤣👍
Agreed, totall bullshit
l mean,he is not even singing this song along,and is kinda hard to *not* do it,so maybe he is not bullshitting us...
agreed
You'd be surprised. I've known people that have heard of Nirvana but never once listened to a song. Some people really just listen to one or two genres and stick with it.
Nah bro,Ive seen a lot of people that only know the band's or song's name but not hearing their songs.
This song was melted into my head at the age of 6 in 1996. My 16 year old sister would watch MTV and it's probably the first band I can remember from then.
He was home schooled by strict nuns. Give him a break.
Haaahaa!
Shinedown, 45, it's an amazing song with a touching subject, but still an awesome song though
Anything by Shinedown would be great
@@shadowfire_08 Fair point
Now you need to react to some Foo Fighters songs. Dave Grohl, the drummer for Nirvana, has his own band.
Also, you totally need to react to more Breaking Benjamin.
FINALLY! YES! Excellent review!
Super glad you got that much joy out of this.... I was about 28 when this came out... It was/is a game changer!
“Negative creep” if you want to see them get wild
This!
Bleach fuck yea.
Oh, I'm old... Teenage flashbacks like hell here. Nirvana, grunge, ah, the 90's.
Me too. I remember thinking, "What is that racket... and why do I love it?"
You make hearing this song fun again! It's been a long time since I've heard it....
Carcass suggestion journey continues
Metallica - The Four Horsemen (Live 1992 San Diego)
I remember the day this song was released. It ushered in an age of grunge music that wiped thrash and glam metal off the map. It was a crazy time. One week, kids were wearing metal shirts, the next week they were wearing flannel.
This song was huge.
The Pixies" Where is My Mind" You gotta do it!
I actually really enjoyed watching someones reaction to the first time hearing one of my all time fave songs !!!
Now you can connect to a Foo Fighter (The pretender) song, because the Nirvana's drummer Dave Grohl (Foo Fighter lead singer).
If i remember correctly, the "janitor" was the principal of the school where the clip was taken, and the audience was know the "free concert" a few hour before the begin. :)
Check out “Breed” or “you know you’re right” by Nirvana also their cover of “where did you sleep last night” is amazing
Nice to see this video is back up.
I love how I just pre liked this video before watching because I know I love Alex's reactions.
Wait what? This cant be true !!!! You should maybe do a react to Nevermind like you did for Slipknot.
Nirvana has better songs then Smells Like Teen Spirit
It's like Metallica with Nothing Else Matters, but at the same time it's the most famous song by them.
Fucking agree dude!!! I grew up in the 80s and 90s!!! I know all of Nirvana's albums by heart!!!
True. But none of their other songs could possibly have such an impact on the music industry. It's settled so perfectly between the different worlds of popular music.
Like when they aren't on. Kurt Blowbrain shoulda offd himself before he made whatever he called this shit
@@LeonBlackbird Or Rage Against the Machine with Killing In The Name
OMGGGGG so much fun watching you hear this for the first time 🤘 this album came out when I was 21 ✌️😂 KEEP ROCKIN, DUDE!! ✌️🌎❤️
You are precious! Great job as usual
You should react to their Heart Shaped Box music video. It's worth it even if you heard the song.
My friend had a Nirvana shirt on yesterday too 😂🙌🏻♥️
Was definitely head banging to this as a child 🙌🏻
This is still my favorite song. I've passed my love of them to my 18 yr old son. He was singing this song at the age of 3- word for word. Parenting win!
Wait what,
Ok ok just Breathe, hes learning
Check out Foo fighters featuring Kiss Guy ;)
Keep making reactions to whatever you want man. I'll keep tuning in.👍🤘
this song does it to me everytime. I am 60 and I can say one of the best songs ever played or sang or written. Loved it from the beginning. It was an epiphany when I heard it for the first time.
That drummers name is Dave Ghrol. After Nirvana disbanded he formed his own band called the Foo Fighters where he is the lead vocals. They have some real bops, you should check them out. 🙏🏻
