To be fair the crowd seemed to get it straight away. I'm no Nirvana fan but I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this song. It was one of those "what the fuck is this" moments.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 May 2020, 7:43pmNeat archival moment—the live premiere of "Smells Like Teen Spirit":

Re: The Great Thread of YouTube Magnificence!
My recollection is that I heard it from a friend who bought the cd. I liked it right away—however overplayed it became, it's a fuck of a great tune—but it wasn't a mindblowing moment either. Pretty sure I stole that friend's copy (and several more) when he didn't repay me some money I lent him.Heston wrote: ↑06 May 2020, 8:33pmTo be fair the crowd seemed to get it straight away.

A whatever song—it's okay for its style but nothing exceptional—but this is a fantastically conceived and executed video:

There's a lot to admire about that but that type of singing personally leaves me cold. Good luck to him though, he's massively talented.

Yeah, I ended up putting the album on after that, was like greeting an old friend.
