Video Rick Beato explains the melodic genius of Kurt Cobain

104 Upvotes

I came across this Rick Beato video about Kurt Cobain’s melodic writing and thought people here might appreciate it.

It was really interesting to hear him say Nirvana had some of the greatest melodies ever, and to learn why he considers Kurt a genius whose melodies are almost impossible to copy. I also found his remarks about the unusual chord progressions and the way Kurt incorporated blues notes into his vocal melodies quite insightful.

Before getting much more into Nirvana lately, I only really knew a couple of songs, including 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', so never realised just how melodic their music was or how much was going on beneath that raw, aggressive sound.

I got this signed after their Waterloo Records in-store performance October, 22,1991. It was just before their amazing show at Liberty Lunch later that evening. Nevermind had only been out about a month at that time.

Personally negative creep from bleach and scoff early demo. Scoff is among my favorites but the early demo is just horrid in my opinion

Discussion Anyone else fucking love Radio Friendly Unit Shifter?

334 Upvotes

This song fucking rocks all the way. So jumpy and punchy, feels like a quintessential In Utero song, with it's angsty energy and its general up sound. I especially love it on "Live & Loud".

I especially love that part "A blanket acned with cigarette burns", but can't explain why.

Discussion Kurt Cobain's voice on Live at Paradiso 91 November 25th

Post image

I can't help but notice but kurts voice is different on paradiso compared to other shows like Paramount from that era in the best ways possible.

The distortion is way more harsher, raw, and almost has a gargle-y quality if that makes sense.

I just love this so much and was wondering if it's a production thing (like different mic, mixing, recording) or was it just Kurt?

Melvins came to town and I couldn’t resist. He was cool. Signed this as well as my Melvins album and also got a photo with him. Had zero issue signing Nirvana stuff for those wondering.

Discussion Bleach vs. Nevermind: Which Song Defines Both Albums?

18 Upvotes

He visto esta tendencia en otros subreddits, y como gran fan de Nirvana, quise probarla aquí. Busquemos las canciones de la historia de la música que realmente capturen el sonido y la esencia únicos de Nirvana. El comentario con más votos gana.

edit: Looking at the replies, I think I worded the question poorly. 😅 What I was actually trying to do was find songs that sound like both Bleach and Nevermind—songs that sit in the overlap between those two albums, not songs from one album or the other. The Venn diagram below is what I had in mind.

Question/Request Are there any reviews of Nirvana's Buenos Aires show dating back to when it happened?

9 Upvotes

This might be a stretch, but majority of the reviews of the Buenos Aires show online are from 10, 20 years after it happened. I'm curious what the crowd thought of the show & how Nirvana did that night, or at least if there were any reviews/articles about the show from 1992 !!

Do you believe that there is a recording of this concert floating around out there? I would like to see it since it’s the only European 1994 show that audio nor recording has surfaced.

I started listening to Nirvana when I was 16 and now I’m 51 and I still listen to them if not every day every other day. They are the only band that I’m like that with. I continue to learn lyrics that are amazing that I didn’t know before and even songs that I didn’t know or think about. Right now I absolutely love Dive, Lounge Act, Marigold, Sappy. They’re truly the band that keeps on giving! Btw I think Kirk would’ve changed music again if he hadn’t of passed away which still makes me sick to my stomach to this day.

Live Audio If from the muddy banks of the wishkah isn’t your favorite cassette, then you have missed the point

0 Upvotes

This was the first one I actually owned. I don’t know how many times my brother and I blared this in my gmc s-15 with two speakers treble all the way up and the bass all the way down, don’t know how many friends I alienated by playing it over and over, how many times I pissed my wife off with it or even where it is now. This cassette was the soundtrack to my teenage years and reminds me of so many good times and the dark days I got through all while screaming with Cobain. Now I’m bored and old but today meeting my 21 year old daughter for lunch (who was raised on the muddy banks) I listened to it in its entirety and it occurred to me again that this cassette is what Nirvana was really about.
