And it was completely f@cking amazing! 😱🤩 I was listening and loving the various Grunge bands in the late late 80’s early 90’s as a teenager/young adult. The music still means just as much to me (and my musician husband) as it did back then. I think it’s killer that kids in high school and even younger love it too! One of my sons plays in a rock band as well and both of my kids are extremely passionate about music, even their “parents’ music”. I’m ecstatic to have lived during such an incredible time of creativity in music and art and so happy to collectively share it with every generation since the days that we Gen X’ers once ruled the world. Make sure if you haven’t yet to check out the band Killing Joke and specifically listen to the song “ Eighties” which is where Kurt ummm *borrowed* Come As You Are”. You will hear it immediately 😂 Stay Gold Ponyboy! 🙌🎸🙌

      Was waiting to cringe when he started singing and was blown away instead. He nailed it. So many people try to do it in their own voice and it doesn't work. You have to sing it like Kurt with his growl and snarl. That's the biggest part of what made the song so good. He sounded like an angry wolverine and it was shocking because it worked with thrash punk. If you slow the song down and play it "pretty", then yeah you can sing it with a normal voice. But if you play it hard, gotta snarl it.

I used to be into rap. Too Short, NWA, DJ Quick and then I heard this song played and was like.....whoa. From there I grew my hair long, colored it pink and started playing guitar and never looked back. This song still gives me chills in the right circumstance and reminds me of a lot of awesome youthful memories. Keep on waking up and rocking out after breakfast man.

      @@fart9653 how? I play guitar and sing. Took like 3 months to learn a few chords and be able to sing along. With a little practice it's not THAT hard. Now to become very good at it yes it takes alot of time and is very difficult. But smells like team spirit isn't that hard of a song to learn.

    Man this is what I thought it would be like to play guitar in high school. Most people were annoyed that I had my guitar with me, my Jazz teacher made me turn it down to hear the piano better, and after school performances only the singer ever got acknowledgement. Good for them though

      I thought being a jazz drummer would be all fun and I’d be able to play to my fullest extent. I came up with a 2 bar triplet drum fill and my director told me to dial it down and play in 8ths because it “confused the rest of the band.” When I knew it only confused him. It kept me down for so long until a judge told me to stop listening to my director because he could tell I was bored while playing, holding back, and was strictly following the charts. The look on my directors face was priceless.

      I can't stand when a guitarist is playing clean guitar in a band, and I can pick out every instrument except the guitar. Why are they even there? I'm talking about bands on talk shows, for instance.

    This gives me chills, I like to imagine this is the same energy Kurt and co channeled into that music video. That high schoolers channel this internal rage into this fantastic song. I hope the audience this would be to witness at that point in their life. Love seeing good covers of Nirvana. The kids jumping on stage resembled a lot like Nirvana's live performances.
