@@jammonoy I've been doing this kind of thing since the 90's but a very different twist and just for laughs. Think any Beatles song played like Joy division or The Cure. To me it's always been musician inside joke stuff. This dude is going next level and it's not even funny, just badass.
I just teared up because I was suddenly 16 years old again and a junior in high school hearing Nirvana on the radio on a rainy day for the first time. Well done.
As a complete non-grunge song it sounds amazing. Something in between nirvana, stone temple pilots and screaming trees. You have a great eye for the unexpected combinations. Love it, man, keep it up!!!
Nu Metal is adjacent to post-grunge, which is adjacent to grunge. Down with the sickness is nu-metal, and this song is post-grunge, while nirvana was grunge.
Man, Your voice is actually, for real, very, very close to Kurt's. I've heard a million people try to do it. This is DAMN good dude. And it sounds effortless and natural for you. If Nirvana ever does decide to try one more swing at this thing. I would proudly vote for you. And everyone else can miss it if they don't like the idea of new Nirvana. I'll be there to support it. I hope Dave sees this, and thinks about it. Maybe just call it a new name, but I have to hear you three make some music.
This guy is very talented, but he uses audio effects to get his voice closer to the original artists. Watch some of his other videos and you'll realize there is a bit of processing in there. Still great though.
@@asraarradon4115 Exactly. Dave Grohl called it Kurt "boiling nails in his throat". The only singer I know with that same torture in their voice was Janice Joplin, and she obviously doesn't sound like Kurt.
Someone could write a movie about how they went back in time to change something and it changed more than they expected and use the music from this channel as the background music and it would be amazing. My brain is just blown away by how well every cover I've ever heard you do like this works. Your talent is incredible and I wish you much success!
There's a lot of problems that go into that, but the concept itself rules. Would 100% watch that movie lmao- definitely can imagine a few scenes myself
I love it when @macglocky gives us covers by bands that can no longer do it themselves. It is a wonderful gift to hear. You turn off your sense of disbelief and it sounds like it is really a new cover by the band. Thank you!
Dude...dude. For real, I was replying to a comment like 4 or 5 before yours. Some people arguing about whether or not it sounds like Nirvana. I told them to check out a deeeep cut called Old Age....dude. Great minds, right? Have a nice day.
Yup. If it wasn’t for Old Age, I’d say this sounds nothing like Nirvana doing anything. Even the comparison to Old Age, it still doesn’t sound like Nirvana but I really like it.
I keep coming back to this cover just because it's so well made. It's mad how legit this sounds like it could have been. Thanks for putting this out. Keep rocking 👌
New listener here. I never sub on the first listen, I always check out more vids to be sure the first wasn't a fluke. This song was so well done, I broke my own rule and subbed on the first listen.
It sounds like if Alice in Chains, Nine Inch nails, STP and Kurt all had a love child and then it performed down with the sickness and tbh.......I'm feeling it.
Stumbled on this today thanks to the algorithm…I absolutely love this version…f***ing nailed the Nirvana sound! I was today years old when I became a subscriber.
I honestly don’t care for disturbed, not saying the band isn’t very talented cause they are but this song in my opinion is better than the original by far and I have always loved Nirvana. 90’s kid4life 🤘🏻😝🤘🏻
I've officially watched all your vids in like 4 hours give or take. All I can say is holy s--t! Your voic3 and instrumental talent is so unbelievably diverse. These vids are amazing and must be shared. Keep up the great content!
🖤 I can't stop watching all the wonderful things you did dude! Obviously, subscribed! Now I think I need an entire album with your incredible versions... This is like discovering some super rare unreleased tracks from all those bands, and that's 😍
I like how it sound like something of it's own and not just a cover as how some of these sound. Kurt was great for vocal melodies so this works for me.
Wow, you could do Stone temple pilots for sure, this gave me huge "Big Empty" vibes!! I love this so much... but the guitar and lyric/melody combo made me wanna hear stone temple pilots (interstate love song, big empty, ANYTHUNG from purple really!) either the songs covered or covering other song AS them. Gorgeous either way!
Wow..just, unbelievably Wow! I had to listen multiple times, it really makes me miss kurt even more for some reason. Damn great job... now it makes me want to hear what it'd sound like if Kurt covered korns freak on a leash or Metallicas one..
Your are talented my friend. I can't wait for you to craft tour own songs like these. To me your nirvana and smashing pumpkins are spot on. Use a combination of those styles and do a few original songs man! Loving your stuff
I know you did this video a while ago and I'm just seeing it now, but thank you for this. It brought me back to my teenage days and I could imagine myself hearing Nirvana make this a new cover song. It just made my day.
@silver47official Yes. Are we making fun of people now for using common colloquial expressions or what's going on? What other normal phrases sound funny to you? People saying hello? People saying good night? People saying dude?
Wow, this legit sounds like every Post Grunge song ever. And I love Post Grunge I’m surprised how well this song goes with an acoustic setting, when you just change the style of the song.
Just had a coworker ask me what Nirvana song I'm listening too. Well done.
Sameeeeeee. +1 here too.

Ok, so it happened.
That just means your coworker is either on the spectrum or ignorant as hell.
This is like watching a magic trick when you know exactly how it's done but you're still drawn in by the performance of the trick.
I am in awe, and I am still confused on how it's done. I just chalked it up as wizardry or vodo

@@cropcircle5693 okay where do i see/hear these????
Now I wanna hear Nirvana do Dragula.
Yeeessssss!!!!
@@too1leasyI’d be way more interested in that! Has he done any Rob Zombie covers?
Ohmygod yes!
I'm seconding both of these. Probably prefer Rob Zombie doing Heart-Shaped Box.
Yessssss
This is haunting. I feel like Kurt would have covered it like this. Wow.
Sounds more like the guy from Seether than Kurt Cobain, but they are pretty similar.
Kurt would have been more whimpering and he would have made it sound like a heroin song
@@funkingitup1805Kurt Scott weiland and Shaun Morgan use the same vocal range even Wes scantlin from puddle of mudd and bush as well
yes, my husband agrees on the puddle of mudd similarity! cheers!
Kurt wouldn't cover this
I just teared up because I was suddenly 16 years old again and a junior in high school hearing Nirvana on the radio on a rainy day for the first time.
Well done.
I just teared up reading your comment. What a time to be alive it was. I was a 17 year old.
big feels there. first time hearing nirvana in JH too. still stands up as some of the best music ever made
Oh man that hit hard. Same, probably 16 when I first heard Nirvana also. What a magical musical time to grow up in.
Hearing a new song (even if it's not really new) played by someone who can make it sound just like Nirvana... Yea, got me right in the feeling 😂😢
Because of how well this adapted, I am left sitting a bit...
Disturbed...
❤
❤❤ ah, yes, I see what you did there. Clever 😉
I was gonna show you the door, but actually, it was a good joke, so nevermind.
@@panda4247damn 🤣
It gave me an upset stomach, I was really getting down with the sickness I guess. 🤘💀🤘
As a complete non-grunge song it sounds amazing. Something in between nirvana, stone temple pilots and screaming trees. You have a great eye for the unexpected combinations. Love it, man, keep it up!!!
Yeah I can def hear Screaming Trees
Nu Metal is adjacent to post-grunge, which is adjacent to grunge. Down with the sickness is nu-metal, and this song is post-grunge, while nirvana was grunge.
I hear so much Seether here....... Very awesome
Nirvana was basically hardcore punk. Soundgarden was metal/hard rock. Alice In Chains was pure metal. Pearl Jam was crap. None however, were grunge.
This is not Nirvana at all it is way too clean. He should've said Stone Temple Pilots sing down with the sickness.
Never have been into Nirvana. But duuuude, the accuracy! Hoooow?! No matter if it's Nirvana, SoaD, Korn, Disturbed, it's all spot on!
That bridge sounds very legit for a Cobain approach, especially the long notes.
Man, Your voice is actually, for real, very, very close to Kurt's. I've heard a million people try to do it. This is DAMN good dude.
And it sounds effortless and natural for you.
If Nirvana ever does decide to try one more swing at this thing.

I hope Dave sees this, and thinks about it.
Maybe just call it a new name, but I have to hear you three make some music.

It's pretty good, but it really lacks that tortured cry and cracking to the voice. Kurt's voice sounded pained and haunted.

That would work perfectly.

I love your brain ❤ ✌️
This laid back acoustic Nirvana style paints the lyrics in a whole new light. Beautiful!
Listening to this made me feel like it's still the 90's and I just discovered a new jam. Really well done. Looking forward to hearing more of these.
the 90s was not a thing. every song is depressing AF and we just wished we had better tech... now we have what we have

Reminds me of “Old Age” by Nirvana. Love this rendition.
I was wondering if other people were hearing that.

I hear black days with the first 30 sec
Yeah, this sounds authentic. Great job. You have that Cobain harmony sound perfected!
This is very, very good. More "If by Nirvana", please.

Idk why, but I want to cry when I listen to this version, this is so beautiful ,make me feel like I listen to Nirvana! Keep going your awesome work!
It has that nirvana vibe I love it sounds like one of Kurt’s unplugged sessions
I didn't know what to expect from this being a huge disturbed fan. But omg I'm glad I clicked on this. Thank for you this masterpiece.
I'm so impressed with the masterful recreation of Nirvana's MTV Unplugged Album sound.❤
This is off the wall wicked. Brings me back to 1996. What a time we had with music.
this is unironically beautiful AF
That "get down with the sickness" was pure perfection!
It sounds like if Alice in Chains, Nine Inch nails, STP and Kurt all had a love child and then it performed down with the sickness and tbh.......I'm feeling it.
Wow, an actual accurate “If so and so band remade so and so song in their style”. Well done.
This is genuinely one of my favorite covers you've done. This is incredible
Wow. Was skeptical, but you totally pulled it off. Good work, dude, you are amazing!
Makes me think of Seether, sounds awesome
I always thought of seether as darker nirvana
🤣@@alexbeckes3389
Same I love that rasp!!
Seether started out as a nirvana cover band...or so I've heard.
Mr Glocky.... you friggin' nailed it. I am yet to be anything other than blown away when I hear your creations.
Shoot this is really good - speaks to both the strength of the song structure and this dudes own talent
This is absolutely amazing! The best "if blank made blank" if I didn't know I would swear this was a Nirvana song.
This version is awesome. Definitely something that I'd have on my driving playlist!
This amazingly well done and arranged. Great voice by the way.
This is just so damn good! I love the RX Bandits shirt too!
really hope you keep doing what you do man and keep up the good work. this is so relaxing to listen to
Wow. This was legit amazing man, like your voice, the music, all of it worked so well. Great job!
This was perfect! MOAR "If Nirvana Made (insert popular rock song)" videos!!!!
I can’t imagine how great it would sound if you leaned a little more Alice In Chains. Well done!
Stumbled on this today thanks to the algorithm…I absolutely love this version…f***ing nailed the Nirvana sound! I was today years old when I became a subscriber.
I spent the longest time trying to replicate Kurts growl for my cover band and you make it look breezy
This needs to be put on spotify! Pretty please :)
This sounds like soundgarden and nirvana had a baby. Epic job
Amazing! It sounds like a very different song. But it hits just as hard. You are a genius in what you do with these songs.
we need this on Spotify
Someone said it was.
What a sick cover! Really well done! I'm gonna learn this version and confuse everyone around me haha
You nailed Cobain’s vocal style
Unexpected result! Love this!
Heard Polly straight away, dark but catchy af.
This song is the gift that has been given to me.
Musically I get a massive Alice In Chains unplugged vibe. Amazing job.

this is great! lmao. i was surprised you went for unplugged nirvana sound instead of the grunge angle but it fits so well
I dig it man! I graduated in 95 and totally could have listened to this for sure! Great job! This sounds so great!
Every so often you hear somthing and think wow.... This is it.... Listened three times back to back
