I remember seeing the Smells Like Teen Spirit premiere on 120 Minutes. The next day, I came home from school, and I saw my sister watching it on MTV, and I said, "Oh they're playing _that song_ again." You already knew that this was something different.
JAY... THE DRUMMER IN THIS VIDEO IS DAVID GROHL ...LATER ON HE WOULD GO ON TO FORM THE BAND THE FOO FIGHTERS ...IF YOU GET THE CHANCE PLEASE REACT TO THE SONG BEST OF YOU ...EXCELLENT SONG JAY!
JoVaughn does know this. The moment he realizes it is caught in one of his reactions to another Nirvana video. It's super cute when he realizes it. :-)
I loved Nirvana. Heavy rock music had become a bloated parody if itself and Nirvana took it back to personally relatable levels. Their songs spoke to people who are normally excluded or ignored in most rock music cliches. They achieved huge success entirely on their own terms, without sacrificing their integrity or making concessions to commerciality.
This is really lost on people who didn’t experience the sea-change that Nirvana represented in music and culture. They immediately made almost every popular band at the time seem ridiculous for wearing makeup and acting tough. Not that wearing makeup is wrong, but everyone was basically going on stage wearing a costume and playing a character. Nirvana’s choice of keeping everything “silly” and honest instead of overwrought was such a breath of fresh air in a cloud of hair spray.
@@alicspellman6938 Oh, I agree, but they were definitely the band that finally removed any doubt that “hair” rock was over. There were great alternative and punk bands going back into the 80s, but Nirvana’s commercial success changed what people were hearing in the radio.
PLEASE do Nirvana’s “all apologies” MTV unplugged version. It’s a live version, slowed down, and better than the studio release. PLEASE!! Man, I love nirvana......
@@elysehfm8797 AND LIL DID WE ALL KNOW HOW GOOD DAVID GROHL THE DRUMMER TURNED OUT TO BE WITH THE FOO FIGHTERS ...THAT ONE SONG ... BEST OF YOU IS SO DAMN GOOD
Lithium is a well known mood stabilising prescriptive drug for those with Manic Depression or Severe Depression. It’s aim is to keep mood neither too high, or low. So experiencing life highs are limited. Listen to the lyrics again as being someone knowing life can be slightly deadened experience if taking Lithium. It’s really deep with this interpretation.
I take lithium too and it doesn't make me numb. It's the best thing happened to me sense my illness broke out. I tend to have hypomania/mania every autumn (and every June) but now I just take little bit more of lithium for few weeks, take a sleeping pill on couple of nights and I'm normal. Instead of total caos. I can still feel all the normal feeling.
You said that you’ve never heard anything like this before. That’s because Nirvana is and still is one of the most influential group of musicians ever. My favorite live performance is “All Apologies” from MTV Unplugged. RIP Kurt ❤️
Now this takes me back to a Pub in Camden, London. hearing this for the first time... and thinking what the?..... so much energy, and bass too... you get it... top tunes... 🤟
@@SherriLyle80s Anytime. Many people have trouble with Kurt's lyrics. He always said the music comes first and the lyrics are secondary. People don't realize some of his songs as personal, some are just random contradictions, some are lyrics with dual meanings, and others are written from the perspective of someone else.
Kurt is the reason I picked up a guitar and started writing as a kid. It's still insane to me, watching people experience it for the first time is so beautiful❗
Another band that you can react to is: Pixies, especially songs like Monkey gone to heaven or Where is my mind. Kim Deal, Pixies' basist was part of another band called Breeders, check their song Cannonball, a really fun song.
Kurt described the song as a story of a man who copes with a breakup and the following depression and thoughts of suicide through religion. Though he wasn't necessarily seeing eye-to-eye with religion in general, he supported it if it meant preventing people from killing themselves. He himself was a borderline Buddhist, though he didn't follow any form of organised religion. He was a free spirit.
If you're ever interested, I left a comment here about my thoughts on "Lithium" and it's lyrics... I'd love to hear what you think.... I've seen interviews where Kurt said that the lyrics should mean whatever they mean to the listener.... I've heard/read interviews with many different musicians (inc., Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, Eddie Vedder etc., etc.,) and they've all said the same thing.... Art is an expression of one's thoughts and feelings, and can be interpreted in many different ways and can mean many different things to each listener/viewer.... Peace. :)
@@michaelgilbert197 Of course art is always up to the listener to interpret it for themselves. However, the artist has their interpretation as well. I was simply saying what Kurt said his interpretation for it was.
@@bemused9522 I say Free Spirit in that he wasn't tied down by any religion or organised philosophy. He of course was not free of addiction, fame, mental illness, a sane wife (who might have killed him) and a bunch more shit.
@@TheBlackQueen Agreed... It is open to interpretation... it's art. I was honestly interested in your thoughts and was sharing mine if you were interested.... I'm a firm believer in the "always keep learning" methodology. Knowledge is a beautiful thing! Peace girl.... :)
Lithium is one of the most widely used drugs for bipolar depression. He's talking about all ups & down manias of depression. Which he apparently was dealing with on a personal level. RiP Kurt ❤💔
Nirvana were the best and this track is the best of the best. With Nirvana it doesnt matter how deep the lyrics might be their songs bypass the brain and connect directly with the soul. Ive been waiting for your reaction to this Jayvee. You werent quite as blown away as i would have hoped but thankyou as always.
Driving home at night in the early 90's listening to the radio and this came on and I was totally blown away, I had to find out more about this song and band. it was the first Nirvana song I recall hearing.
Lithium is sometimes used for treating some mental state issues. So you got the emotions right, just imagine all of them jumbling around your head in a big mess half the time. That what this song is to me. The struggle not to crack. And if we're talking Nirvana, my favorite of theirs is actually a cover of "The man who sold the world". Some of my favorite guitar work of all time.
Nirvana is the first band I became totally obsessed with at age 11. I was born in ‘95 so this wasn’t when they were around but I still resonated so deeply with the sound and I think that’s why so many teens and younger folks have always turned to Nirvana, Mudhoney, Minor Threat, Black Flag and all those Seattle 90’s bands. they just let it all out, they scream and thrash around and that’s all you wanna do as a young person.
I just got a pair of Bose noise canceling 700’s and it’s time to give a listen to this song on them, I got to hear that bass. Those look like great headphones too.
This album was on loop for me. So good it's still played on the radio 30 yrs later and my 15 yr old knows all the songs by heart and learned to play them on Rocksmith... timeless and always relevant... RIP Curt Cobain
I've been a Nirvana fan since I was in Jr.High, age 13. I'm now 45...so, a fan for 32 years! Damn, just typing that makes me feel ancient AF!!! Hahahaha XD I don't look 45 (almost 46) though...but I feel 65, lol Great reaction, as always! Btw.....I watched your live stream yesterday. Thx for the shout out. I'm the one that suggested reacting to Fleet Foxes! You definitely should. Have an awesome night, man~
Of you want to hear some 90s songs with bass you can hear, check out the band Cake. The songs are “the distance”, “Never there”, and “short skirt and long jacket”
just another comment about how refreshingly genuine & empathetic you are, jovaughn. watching you listen to this, we see you feel the pain in this song. you're right, there's a lot of pain there. a lot of pain in a lot of nirvana's songs. yet there's always a sense that what is being expressed is only the tip of the iceberg. we can feel that there's a whole lot more pain happening underneath the lyrics & music.
I remember when I was young my older brother used to use this song for their alarm clock, it could typically fit in with your dreams at the very start with the intro, but as soon as the hook came in, it was a pretty rude awakening for the whole house lol
When I first heard Nirvana in '91 it changed my world, up until then 80-85% of what I listened to was Rap, after Nirvana half the music I listened to was Alternative. Nirvana really had me looking at music in a whole new way.
I used to love Nirvana when I was a teen, but I haven't listened to them for a long time. So I saw your video and go, jeez, how did Lithium start again? Not even the first bar in, all the song lyrics come rushing back, word for word. At least I remember something I haven't heard in a good 20 years but I'm not be able to remember my bank account number off the top of my head. The human brain is weird.
i love this song so much, lithium was used as an antidepressant and the song is kind if about kurt's experience with mental illness which i think is why this song resonates with so many people honestly. you should try man who sold the world by nirvana, it's a david bowie song they covered but honestly its so good !!
If you haven't done it yet you should react to their MTV Unplugged cover of The Man Who Sold the World!! My favorite song of theirs even though it's just a cover haha
Nirvana change music when this album came out. I remember seeing smells like teen Spirit over and over on MTV and it was just crazy and I was a teenager in Nirvana give me something to just let everything out too. They were the beginning of this hard-core grunge. They completely changed music forever. It’s so hard when we remembered that will never hear something new from Kurt’s voice. Got a listen to more. Have you ever checked out Van Halen Erruption? Just Eddie Van Halen in concert guitar solo that goes off because he makes the guitar do you things that nobody else has ever done. It shows he really was the best ever. RIP Eddie.
I once read a very scary visceral horror book called Heart Shaped Box which im sure the author named after another great Nirvana song. Nirvana so iconic & the face of grunge, brilliant
Sometimes at the end of a song I am yelling at my screen for you to click the next song. Nirvanas cover of "The man that sold the world" is amazing. You should do a two for one sometime.
Mate thanks for reacting to Nirvana, my favorite band ever. This song is about a having a mental illness and dealing with it. I believe Lithium is prescribed for depression associated with bipolar disorder. You should consider reacting to any of the songs in their MTV unplugged 1993, all them songs are amazing but my favorites are a David Bowie one "The man who sold the world and a Lead Belly's song "Where did you sleep last night"
If you wanna go deep on Nirvana's and discover why they are considered the Beatles of the '90s you should react to the following list of masterpieces: - Polly - Breed - Territorial Pissings - School - About a Girl - Love Buzz - Molly's Lips - Negative Creep - where did you sleep last night (MTV unplugged) - Heart-shaped box - Tourette's - Rape me - Aneurysm - The Man Who Sold The World (Bowie's cover, from the MTV unplugged)
I assume you know, the drummer for Nirvana is Dave Grohl who fronts the Foo Fighters (formed by Dave after Nirvana disbanded after Kirk Cobain's death) which you have already reacted to! ❤️
Nirvana is one of the greatest rock bands ever and completely without artifice. Kurt wrote lyrics about his personal pain but always with a wry sense of humor. But that sort of whisper-to-a-scream aesthetic was inspired by the Pixies (my personal favorite band). If you've heard any Pixies song it's probably only because you saw Fight Club.
@@_Shadoh_ Sigh, grunge is just a sub-genre of rock! And no one uses "grunge" any more because it's dated and limiting, even though there are plenty of bands that still play in that style
Last upload for today. Be sure to catch up on all the other uploads and please like, comment and share if you can. Thank you!
Thanks Jay enjoy your night love❤❤
Thanks again for your wonderful reactions to these great songs 🙏!! Already looking fwd to your new uploads 😊💜✌🏻

Loved these Jay,thankyou x
Radiohead did a same type of the song called creep it start slowly and it happen like this song in the grunge music start up look at (rock am ring) rare video on UA-cam too there show
You can't understand how life changing this album was for millions of kids!
And that's an understatement.
The voice of my generation said it all: *"ALLEENAYAUUGGH! ALEENAYAUGGH! ALLEENAYAUUGH! ALLEENAAAAYYYAAAAUUUUGGGHHHhhhhhhh!*
Soooo true
@@DeflatingAtheism it's actually 'a denial' lol
I graduated in 96. He was everything! He would be see the nation like this too. Not poltics the news lying and messing w people heads, lockdowns, etc.
Heart shaped box is another great Nirvana song.
Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle was my favorite on that album.
The best.
Great tune. Great album.
They're all great. 😉
not so much when you realise it's literally about cortney loves minge XD but yeh it's one of my faves to still
Nevermind is a masterpiece almost 30 years old. I remember well that 1991, the music changed forever.
@ALICE IN CHAINS and Soundgarden, obviously
Every single cut on it!
@@stefanocastellani6826 soundgarden was the best first album from that era

There was so many Grunge bands + Alternative music was popular too by being in the right place at the right time
This band changed the planet literally in the early 90's.
True that!!
Bleach was a beautifully disgusting album 😔
no they did not.
@@Medes06 in the music industry at least yeah
@@gsly6081 yes they did
Ah, Nirvana. If you were a teenager when this came out, you had something to scream to ;)
💯💯❤️
Kurt Cobain had an uncanny talent for infectious songwriting
"Lounge Act" is a great Nirvana song with some epic bass
JAY... THE DRUMMER IN THIS VIDEO IS DAVID GROHL ...LATER ON HE WOULD GO ON TO FORM THE BAND THE FOO FIGHTERS ...IF YOU GET THE CHANCE PLEASE REACT TO THE SONG BEST OF YOU ...EXCELLENT SONG JAY!
Thank you for props to David Grohl. One of the GOAT drummers EVER.

WHY ARE YOU YELLING
You should do "Polly", it's one of the deepest lyrics from Nirvana
YES.
Polly is sad!
Another great Nirvana song where you can really appreciate the bass is "Come As You Are" 🤘🏼
Killing Joke agrees. 😀

Heart Shaped Box next please!
Please react to Drain You by Nirvana, such an underrated song!!

Listen to the band "Hole" (his wife's band). A good song to try is "Violet".
Would love for you to do Everlong by Foo Fighters next
I was in stationed in Virginia Beach when this Album came out and I wore this CD out.

- The Man Who Sold The World (Bowie's cover, from the MTV unplugged)
Fantastic song and performance from a GOAT group.
I assume you know, the drummer for Nirvana is Dave Grohl who fronts the Foo Fighters (formed by Dave after Nirvana disbanded after Kirk Cobain's death) which you have already reacted to! ❤️
A lot of this video was filmed at Reading Festival 1991 - was lucky enough to be there 😀
It was teenager in 90's and Nirvana was my lifestyle.
I loved the song Breed from this amazing album
Nirvana is one of the greatest rock bands ever and completely without artifice. Kurt wrote lyrics about his personal pain but always with a wry sense of humor. But that sort of whisper-to-a-scream aesthetic was inspired by the Pixies (my personal favorite band). If you've heard any Pixies song it's probably only because you saw Fight Club.
Grunge. Not Rock.
@@_Shadoh_ Sigh, grunge is just a sub-genre of rock! And no one uses "grunge" any more because it's dated and limiting, even though there are plenty of bands that still play in that style
