I’m not saying this was a “masterplan”, just possibly Wes (or someone) knew this would piss enough people off to trend. You do know they’ve a new single to promote, right? But, it’s very plausible it just went bad on the day, and the likely scenario.
Thank god he f'd this up. I hav a personal disliking of wes, cuz i know him from early 2000. I met him @crazy girls when i lived in hollywood n he just moved here when he got signed. Knowone knew him cuz they hadnt even recorded their album yet,which he was signed on diamond records(fred durst label)he lived @the outbacks apts.n we hung out most of the week for a year. I introduced him to my friends,rockstars that he admired n even got him layed by my stripper-call girls or pornstar friends. When he went to record their first album, he changed his # and 6mo.later when his single came out i ran n2 him n bass player doug. Wes kinda dissed me n his bass player was confused n askd where id been, then when i told him its the first time id seen him n over 6mo. He apologized w/tears n his eyes, i said dont trip bro , you hav 2deal w/him everyday, as he lookd down i gave him a hug n said karma wiL come 2his door someday.(ding dong wes).
I'd say the bass player was the one who tried to tell everyone else this cover was a bad idea. Nobody listened and now he's just like 'Yeah, told you so'.
I almost think he really needed to cough but didn't want to be accused of having Covid, so he took opportunity of the high notes to clear his throat. I'm sure no one noticed...
Wes Scantlin has got himself together, POM released an album last year. Nirvana just hit it at the right time they never were that good. At least Foo Fighters came out of that what else can you say.
I dont know realy. I as a person that listening to it have my opinion about it,but from the singers point,i dont know. Perhaps not doing a song with vocals you cant master. I cant do brainsurgery so i dont do it,i cant act so i dont do that either. :)
Chris Southall he’s always sounded and looked similar to Kurt. Key word “similar”. Hence the reason trolls like you get pissed when he did covers years ago and gave almost perfect performances.
No lie, the first time I heard "She Hates Me" I thought the sound was similar-enough that it was a then-talked-about lost Nirvana song, which later turned out to be You Know You're Right. This makes me wonder if Wes can even sing his own older songs anymore. It's kinda like how Seether were also influenced by Nirvana.
The best part of the video is at the very start when he looks up to the heavens and you know hes thinking "This ones for you Kurt... Yup Im just gonna go for it"
He’s trying to put grit in his voice but he has no range. The octave he sings on is his breaking note and he can’t properly control the air and raspiness. In other words, he sounds like Oscar the grouch.
Carmine Lupratazzi not quite. That’s more or less the smoking and his natural voice just being unique. Heroin does nothing to your voice other than limiting how much control you have under the influence obviously.
I like how UMG claimed the original, but “The Algorithm” didn’t consider the cover to be close enough to ID-match it 😂 The A.I. was like: “Could this be...? Oh no... Hell no!”
The original recording was in standard tuning but Kurt could sing it cause he had a higher vocal range. The MTV unplugged version was tuned down a half step as well as all the songs on that record with on a plain being tuned down to Drop D# (I believe)
They came to my hometown to play over the summer. You could tell off the go he was struggling with his voice, but not even finished with the opener and he warmed up and sounded better. a lot of professional vocalists have their bad days obviously and this one was a v v bad day for him. One of the kinds of bad days you should cancel the gig lmao
Larry Poos he def just has such a fried voice here he can’t hit the notes. And probably can’t even anyways. His face shows how hard he’s pushing just to get his voice to sing anything.
Nate Anderson drug abuse, poor technique, poor care for his voice during his fame. Combine all of that on top of a voice that already only has average range and it’ll be this ^ mess this video shows
Nate Anderson he’s been sober for a little while now. Met him probably nearly a year ago when he was filming a music video at my tattoo shop. We were all drinking beers casually but he wouldn’t touch it. Can’t remember how long he said he was sober then, but it sounded like it wasn’t exactly a new thing. But still, you’re not wrong. Dude at least WAS notorious for not taking care of himself.
epin pelaja blurry is not in the same key as about a girl. It’s also his own voice that made that song, so I’m sure he’s fairly more comfortable performing it.
Their “Famous” album from like 07 was actually a great album. Wes has just went through every drug imaginable for the last decade and hasn’t been the same for a while. It’s so bad.
Nu-Punk Rants considering you already have your opinion, it’d be like trying to explain to Anthony Fantano why Instant Gratification was a great record. It just can’t be done my guy,
@@nickmathis6136 man as someone who recently got into dance gavin dance I feel like instant gratification is easily the weakest of everything I've heard.
He’s obviously in literal pain from trying so hard just to get air to come out. Unless you also think Kurt sounds like a dying animal I don’t see how you can think this is an attempt at impersonating him.
I’ve never been a muddle of pudd fan, I was at work when I first heard this...the customers thought I was crying I was laughing so hard. Truly and honestly, the entire world needed this right now.
Wes tried too hard. He is probably one of the people in the modern era that is close to sounding like Kurt as he did a pretty decent Come As You Are cover. The thing is that if you are covering a song, when you sing, you don't have to sound exactly like the artist you are covering, you can make it your own a little. The problem here is that he just tried way too hard to sound like him.
Which is funny because he's been unfavorably compared to Kurt Cobain since 2002 and counting. A friend of mine actually calls Puddle of Mudd "The poor man's Nirvana"
This literally sounds like something South Park would do to imitate Nirvana

He has a notoriously bad alcohol problem. I can guarantee that plays into this too.
Nate Anderson drug abuse, poor technique, poor care for his voice during his fame. Combine all of that on top of a voice that already only has average range and it’ll be this ^ mess this video shows
Nate Anderson he’s been sober for a little while now. Met him probably nearly a year ago when he was filming a music video at my tattoo shop. We were all drinking beers casually but he wouldn’t touch it. Can’t remember how long he said he was sober then, but it sounded like it wasn’t exactly a new thing. But still, you’re not wrong. Dude at least WAS notorious for not taking care of himself.
Scream 3 hours 4 nights a week for 15 years.....with a song that’s not easy to sing, he could do that in 2003
He's actually a talented singer, I really dont know wtf happened there lmao, I cringed my skull off
Maybe not his range
Yeah i'm guessing it's just about the range, since the other song I heard from the siriusxm acoustic set was sang fine.
He's not.
epin pelaja blurry is not in the same key as about a girl. It’s also his own voice that made that song, so I’m sure he’s fairly more comfortable performing it.
Bad days happen. I’ve played a show like this
I paused Trivium's new single to listen to Puddle of Mudd do... whatever the hell this is.
Obviously, I have Sinned, and I must be Sentenced.
GC Spectral Umbreon good song reference
Infinite respect point for the perfectly placed reference my guy
what do the dead men say?
I imagine this is what parents thought grunge sounded like in '89.
I was honestly here to give this guy a chance and I burst out laughing after the first line. Poor dude, he tried so hard. :D
He tried really REALLY hard.
@@jaycue7641 This said, I looked up an old version of 2005 and he could actually sing it really well at the time. Maybe his voice is just done.

About A Girl was origianlly in E Standard
Puddle of Mudds was in D Standard
Alchemist
No idea if they did it another time in D standard, but this video is in Eb standard - so only a half step down
Nirvana's live unplugged version was the same key as Puddle of Mudd's cover.
actually nirvana ripped off “Hrast Parni Vajak” 1979
They should have did it in Either D standard or C# Standard
@@nighthawk9532 they DID do it in D Standard
Their “Famous” album from like 07 was actually a great album. Wes has just went through every drug imaginable for the last decade and hasn’t been the same for a while. It’s so bad.
Aidan Bouw I mean... music is subjective so.. I’m not.. I’m not kidding? It’s a great record, idc.
How was famous a good album? I'm genuinely curious
Nick Mathis I love puddle of mudd and I love famous my favorite one of my favorite grunge albums
Nu-Punk Rants considering you already have your opinion, it’d be like trying to explain to Anthony Fantano why Instant Gratification was a great record. It just can’t be done my guy,
@@nickmathis6136 man as someone who recently got into dance gavin dance I feel like instant gratification is easily the weakest of everything I've heard.
It sounds like hes perpetually 3 seconds away from having to sneeze really bad
Hamburger Help Me lmao
Honestly, I thought the same thing, while I was watching the video. Lol
Wes always wanted to be Kurt. Everyone knew that. He should sing like himself, not like someone else. It sounds like he’s sneezing throughout this.
Cordelia Chase to be fair this is him singing like himself. His voice is just destroyed. He can’t sing this.
Ye sounds like he's nuting at random times
You're gorgeous
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEUGHR" - Wes Scantlin 2020
If Kurt Cobain heard this he'd shoot himself all over again.
Hopefully not before shooting their singer first.
Best comment so far!!
underrated
Honestly i think Kurt would like this
Its been long enough. This joke is acceptable lol
Puddle of Mudd “About a Girl” cover (Hemorrhoidal version)
Buttplugged in new york mtv
"About a Grohl"
He’s honestly trying to sound like Kurt instead of himself.
He’s obviously in literal pain from trying so hard just to get air to come out. Unless you also think Kurt sounds like a dying animal I don’t see how you can think this is an attempt at impersonating him.
He built a career around it.
And now it’s really over. Lol
@@patrickburton1401 i mean, basically what Kurt sounded like at the end
And that with over 19 years of experience in the music business
But he doesn't
1:55 that's the sound my cat makes when she's pissed
LMFAOOO
same here
"It's a paycheck. It's a paycheck. Oh god what have I done? It's a paycheck".
Lmfao
It's as if he's the vocalist for Puddle of Mudd
😂😂
They have to be trolling. There’s no way they’re being serious.
Nirvana: About a girl
Puddle of mudd: About a stroke
I’ve never been a muddle of pudd fan, I was at work when I first heard this...the customers thought I was crying I was laughing so hard. Truly and honestly, the entire world needed this right now.
"but I can't see you every night... REEEAAAAWWWWW" - Wes Scantlin
IF he's trying to pull off a Kurt Cobain he completely failed at it.
Wes tried too hard. He is probably one of the people in the modern era that is close to sounding like Kurt as he did a pretty decent Come As You Are cover. The thing is that if you are covering a song, when you sing, you don't have to sound exactly like the artist you are covering, you can make it your own a little. The problem here is that he just tried way too hard to sound like him.
Well his head almost looked like Kurt's... sorry
@@joepettibone Thats exactly how my teacher put it. When you cover a song make it sound like you're the one doing it not the original band.
bryan krantz his eyes nearly blew out, that part was pretty close.
Which is funny because he's been unfavorably compared to Kurt Cobain since 2002 and counting. A friend of mine actually calls Puddle of Mudd "The poor man's Nirvana"
He already sounds like a 99 cent store Kurt, but he “focuses” on his “singing”
So he sounds like an angry drunk.
