I had a friend back in high school who did this to a girt wearing a Nirvana shirt. He made her name 10 songs that weren't "Smells like Teen Spirit". He said she was a "fake fan" who shouldn't be allowed to wear/buy the shirt because of the 10 songs she named, one of them was a cover.
I bet that guy got mad pussy
Their covers were good though.
They sure were!
Their covers were a fresh take that were different enough from the source to be their own take, and qhile calling them covers is technically accurate but saying "Nirvana's version" of the song is a better description.
Fun fact: Nirvana covered Led Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker" at their first show at a house party in in 1987. They were playing cover songs since day one. Heck, nearly half the tracks on Unplugged are covers.
Their first single was 'Love Buzz'.
And their first single was "Love Buzz"!! Which I did not realize was a cover or even had a single release. Thank you for the knowledge drop!
Hell, knowing "The man who sold the world" is a cover is the mark of a Bowie fan, not a Nirvana fan.
Cobain literally says "that's a David Bowie song" after they play it. It's on the recording. Anyone who is a nirvana fan would then know that because he spoonfeeds it to you
Was the cover lake of fire? Cos that’s my favourite Nirvana song.
You probably know this, but your friend is a dick.
That person that I used to know definitely was.
I mean, this sounds like a joke that went over everybody's heads.
The best song, hands down, on their Unplugged set is a cover and it makes me wish Kurt had cleaned up, gotten better, and made a whole album of his interpretation of old blues songs. It could have been fuckin’ incredible.
