There's been a hundred comments complaining that this is the album version. Of course it is! This is their attempt at a music video. Notice how their stuff isn't even plugged in? They're lip syncing. Do you complain that all of the other music videos use music from the albums?!? Anyways just pinning it here to clear up any confusion.
Me searching for hundred comments that complaining about the album version 👁👄👁
@@muhammadawangbramuda1796 people thought that it was a live version lmao
lmao how can people not catch on, the bass guitarist is literally on the floor, patting his frets like they're a dog at one point. lmao
@@THXIIIRTEEN I think they clicked it to watch a super old video of early Nirvana playing at a Radioshack. The band was making an old school video and never did anything with it. I edited it into a video. If you don't like it, move on.
This isn't pinned
This Radio Shack was just at the base of the hill from the hospital where Kurt was born. It’s now a vape shop.

This is a cinematic masterpiece. Kurt's vocals. The DRUMS. The blood curdling screams. Kurt's fluffy hair. The smoke machine. The light-up balls.
That was some dude smoking a ciggy and blowing it in front of camera lol. Even better than smoke machine, cheap ass punk DYI smoke machine. Couldn’t have been better
rare footage of kurt's clean hair.
This isn’t live audio. This is the standard and only studio recording of this song. Recorded by Jack Endino at Reciprocal.
Nirvana's early attempt to make a music video. Such a treat!

Never in my life have I gone into a RadioShack with a group and thought, “dudes, we need to play here”. I’m pretty sure this is why I’ll never be as good as nirvana.
Well Kurt Cobain worked there that night and stayed late to clean up and ended up filming a music video
Man that'd be cool as shit tho
😂🤣
I think Kurt was supposed to be cleaning the store that night.
TheLeatheryman I think your right
I think he was living there, and they did this after the store closed and mgr left. I mean no lights are on except their corner. and no people.

I never knew there was footage of Dale Crover playing drums with Nirvana until now. Good find. Thanks.
Johnny Manning there’s even an actual live show with footage where he played.
Why did he not return on later albums
@@tracihannah385Melvins toured- and still tour, so much he probably didn't have time. Hardest working band in showbiz ;)
But remember, Chad Channing was the main sticksman on Bleach.. let it be known.
@@thesound-chameleonman3580 if only the musically and historically illiterate would read up on the band and stop calling Chad the "original drummer" when dale had been with the band since they were called Fecal Matter, that would be just great.
This is gold! My favorite Nirvana song. Its so beautiful, dark, and conjures an indescribable feeling. Look how young they were, cant belive this is my first time seeing it
Nirvana started out super heavy, but became more and more pop-punk-rock as time went on...
@@crazysilly2914 no way, in utero was super heavy imo. That had some dirt stomping riffs and was way off the mark for pop.
This song is a hidden gem for sure not many people ever bring this song up
@@BrandonEphin his defense a lot of the heavy material from in utero is from bleach era
Yes! ^^🤠👍❤️🎶🎵
this really shows Kurt was all about the music not the fame.I mean look he's rocking it in fucking radio shack like he is playing in front of thousands. that's dedication
It’s a music video. So he’s acting
@UH8meCuzIm RIGHT what's the story?
@@HarrisonZamfir not necessarily
@@vitorfernandes3306 he was literally just supposed to clean the building that night, ended up just filming a video.
Being in a band myself, the way he is acting has nothing to do with if people are watching. Art is created through feeling. If he stands there like a statue and sings his song, and plays his guitar, then he would be Blink 182. He isnt "acting". The way he moves, looks, sounds, it is all part of the song. Without it? Commercial garbage.
Strangest Nirvana video I've ever seen. And wondering why I didn't know this existed until now
Same.
they were just fooling never meant this to be a video..some guy gave it to Courtney i feel like maybe she thought she would make a dime.
@@mooknick242 huh
Same
Why? It's the album version of the song put over this video , it's stupid
Being 40 I can tell you that this is exactly what radio shack was like when you went there in the late 80s
Very True. Flashbacks, BigTime. 43 over here. Right there w ya.
So rock babds played there?
Smelled like mold
@@RTBOY954x Also True. lol. But This one smelled like teen spirit 😎
Being 41, I can tell you that this is exactly what Radio Shack was like in the 80's, only a year before you first went to Radio Shack. 🤣🤣 Damn it, I hope that joke reads out correctly hahaha.
God, this is amazing early footage from 1988! And even then it’s obvious Kurts voice is something special! RIP Cobain 💥🔥🎸😎
This is the ablum version playing. Not a live version. Surely that's obvious?
@@MegaLotusEaterthis is their early attempt at a music video, their stuff aint even plugged in 😂
RIP RadioShack
Courtney Love murdered it
Rip Nirvana.. Rip RadioShack &Nirvana.. Lol
Caidema Official lol wow
@@fatherofall7036 not as harsh as having your very famous husband murdered. Even her DAD says she did it, he wrote a very accurate and revealing book about it also. The team of investigators even said it was fishy, but she had all her cards in a row and got away with it unfortunately.
@@johnbraucher1499 yeah I know Courtney most likely did it. I deleted my previous comment. It's just kinda harsh because of the person saying "Courtney Killed It" because, well.... You know.
Wow that's a pretty brutal guitar tone he's getting from an unplugged guitar
Its the album version playing over the video my friend
@@brawlhallanoob1484 yeah no one could see that thanks for the enlightening
@@brawlhallanoob1484 it was a joke my friend lol
Im NOT circumcised but my dick LOOKS circumcised. Thankyou.
His guitar just activated itself and played lmao
Dude 1: I saw nirvana at the reading festival Dude 2: whatever. I saw them at radio shack Dude 1: u win
The Guitar Riff sounds so heavy, I literally love it!❤
its paper cuts being performed live but its the album version thats playing instead
It was being lip synched in the first place so it shouldn't really even matter. The original exits on youtube in just the suggestions of this video itself
Yeah, like the other guy said, they're performing to playback anyway, that's why it syncs up perfectly. This was meant to be a music video originally.
This seems like a music video, bet back then everything sucked and was expensive.
Who is drumming? - Is it Arron Buckard?
No, it is Dale Crover. He's known for being the drummer from Melvins but he was briefly part of Nivana and recorded drums on three of the songs on Bleach.
Cobain was a pretty good guitarist heavy ass riffs he wrote that went with the song . Dude was a genius he was before his time .so much passion . Respect
Who cares if someone is all fancy smancy technically good at the guitar. Even if you are great at it 'technically'..... if the sounds doesn't come out and hit you in the soul, it means SHIT ALL. It doesn't take much to pull a few strings that strikes the soul, but it takes a hell of a lot to come up with the sounds that do. Take Van Halen, people praise him but his music sucks donkey ballz.
The vision was to mix the Beatles and Black Sabath
All my heroes are villains wow you're special
Brian Last , good is being able to play smoke under the water with one string? Heavy??? It's a chill rock ground and pound...but he was no headbanger. And Courtney stole all his shit. Killed him over lalapalooza...he turned down playing and her band was a combo deal. So, no go for her. She lost a million or so on that alone.....haha. I play better than him.
Nothing compares to Nirvana, even now. If there were other artists copying the Nirvana style at the time, they failed. Soundgarden and the whole "grunge" scene capitalized on the Seattle scene, but none of those bands sounded like Nirvana.
The Song is an artpiece👌 To be able to write bleach and nevermind shows how diverse he and his art was.
I wonder how many times Krist has heard “Christ, Krist, you’re tall!”
Id imagine every day he gets told that, even by people he's met before
"Krist, Christ, you're tall!"
Krist is playing a toy bass guitar, doesn't even have a strap lol
lmfao. wtf
Nothing looks plugged in lol
The drums aren't even plugged in
cheeks8112 All were memed
Suzuki Halwende you’re a meme
I can’t believe I’ve never seen this before. Fucking amazing and great idea for a music video
"My whole existence is for your amusement and that is why I'm here with you!" Fav line in that song apart from the blood-curdling screams.
High level creativity like this was bound to come with a price. If Kurt wasn’t so brilliant I think he’d still be alive now.
Yeah courtney wouldn't be there to destroy his mental health even further and he'd probably have got off heroin
Even if it’s just dubbed over, it’s still glorious to watch
I agree with you fuck zuckerberg
Those were the best years. People were still connected to the present, without the obsession to tell others how happy they are. Today Nirvana would remain in their home garage.
If nirvana were young today they would still accomplish the same thing. If nevermind dropped now it would have the same impact it would destroy popular music as we know it. Nevermind d isn't my favorite but it would destroy everything coming out now. Nirvana is timeless and extremely bold playing many different styles of rock music. It won't age. Even till this day entertainers from all different genres are trying to be like kurt and steal his image. That's why you got rappers wearing old grandma sweaters with women's sunglasses.
@@johncollins211 i love raps embrace of kurt cobain. its awesome
@@johnbear9205im sure some actually like kurts music. But mostly just using his clothing style and general attitude because it was seen as cool. The whole i dont care im not even trying thing. Except its all fake kurt very much cared and was entirely insecure. But you know he was so influential theres no way to escape it. If i was famous i would probably bite his style too lol.
If Kurdt were alive he’d most likely be an acoustic singer/songwriter. People grow and evolve. Dave would be where he is now, and so would Krist in his new bands (e.g., 3rd Secret). Granted I loved them as a teenager and saw them live, but today’s fans lack the experience and can only live it via social media.
One of my favs since I was ten. I'm 40 and the song still hits the same! Amazing song!!
This still sounds like the future of rock. RIP Kurt
With a bit more polishing, they might just get a gig at circuit city....one can dream😌
Um, he killed himself pal
You don't say...
Aesthetic Cancer r/whoosh
vann oh fuck my bad I did know you were joking
Roy Vice I don’t know people are dumb asf, someone at my school thought he was still alive
Kinda crazy to think that in 4 years they went from playing an old closed radio shack to the legendary reading festival in front of 50,000 people. There will never be a band quite like Nirvana ever again
there probably will. kids are just interested in rap now but it ill get boring and theyll want this again in the future. watch. there will be a new nirvana it its own modern way eventually. music is timeless with new people being born every day, itll always be new to people.
@@alexv1190 thats wot im saying man music in general is on a loop and new shit comes in ppl get bored and then recycle old shit but with a more modern twist and it keeps going
@@alexv1190we already have them. They’re called the Jins, I’m fairly certain they’ll be huge soon.
@@alexv1190 people are getting into alt music again. Rn it's a lot of the better stuff from the nu metal era like Deftones and Korn
@@alexv1190 that band you are talking about is already here. Look at sap. They are getting a little light there way. They sound like nirvana and very similar to Kurt.
Dale Crover is one of the most underrated drummers out there
How so? He's played in some huge bands, has lots of acclaim and respect as an artist, and has been lucky enough to do what he does for at least 30 years. I'd say he's rated exactly as he should be.
@@kaamos79 he played on the heaviest nirvana songs recorded....and the MAJORITY'S opinion is "omg dave grohl is awesome"
@@fuckcensorship69but Dave is amazing... Like the rest of the drummers for nirvana
@@fuckcensorship69 I thought it was Chad Channing?
@@crazysilly2914 it's Dale Crover in this video
Still better than any music being produced today.
bleach is a great album
You've heard every one of the 100,000 albums that are released every year?
You have become your dad.
i love nirvana ,but such a retarded comment
true, its all electronic indie and pop rubbish with no heart and soul.
THAT HAIIIIIR. THAT SOOOOOONG. MAAAAAAN I DIDN'T STOP LISTENING IT SINCE THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IIIIIIT AHHHH
Lay off the speed.
Kurt had such a unique voice.
stomache pains coughing up blood. he has a voice of pain
If this was an actual live performance, Kurt would have smashed all the radios and television sets.
.....in a dress hanging from a chandelier
wow, this dark and heavy sound is more like Alice in Chains style
The other way around. Nirvana was around first. And btw, Rollins Band and The Melvins were doing this before any of them.
@@Danimal77 ok, I wasn't trying to make a point on who came up with it first, just making a comparison
@@scsi_joe I was thinking The Melvins. The drummer even plays like Dale Crover.
"OtHeR wAy AroUnD" blah blah blah.... psh. Alice in Chains blows Nirvana out the water and that's just my own opinion but as far as the above comment, yes this song def has a Alice vibe to it.
@@greygod8141 and your opinion sucks.
Even if it is the studio version. kudos to the person who edited this together to make the earliest "music video" and muti=angle video of Nirvana! It's great! Should be on a long overdue documentary including all this early footage,
This wasn't edited. It was Nirvana making a cheap music video.
That doesn't really look like Cobain
George Velatides January 24, 1988; Kurt, Krist, and Dale went together over to RadioShack to record a couple music videos for Paper Cuts and other Nirvana songs
tyronerodgers So young! Agreed. Editing SVHS back in the day was no easy feat either.... Not like today’s “cut and paste” timelines.
Should 've became an official video
JEEZE! I never realized how long krist the bassist arms are. The dude is literally holding the bass down at his knees 😂😂😂
This is what happens when the manager leaves and you have band members supposed to be working at the shop.
Kurts voice sounds so clear and AWESOME!
Awesome to see this! Miss you Kurt RIP
always liked Kurts dark sounding stuff
Even though the song is so different from teen spirit, this video is that video's precursor,: the smoke machine, Kurt's hair and demeanor, the slow motion, the cinematic focus on the drums, and the overall aesthetic. As amateurish as this video is, it is a testament to how solid their vision was, even at this early stage. Also Paper Cuts is a SICK song, fucking haunting.
That's a brilliant video for very much one of the best Nirvana songs ever (and some of their best feedback moments too). Can't believe I didn't see this until now! 😲 Always loved the lazy hazy approach and the thuddy chuggy heaviness of this track!
Best musical composition since Beethoven
Lol
Beethoven was not a musical composition. He was a person. LOL
Bach was the better artist.
@walk hard But Bach was their god
its really old footage that some guy gave to courtney like 7 or 8 years ago.. now its been overdubbed but to see it complete like this is well something..
if I am right I believe it was given to her in 1994 or 1995
Using the streetlamps, siren lights, strobe lights, and Van der Graaf generators that Radio Shack was always hawking for free "special effects" is pretty genius.
Nirvana performing live at Radio Shack has to be the randomest thing ever
If you’re from western Wa., like me, you’d know this heavy grunge sound and slow pace is like walking through a muddy sludge trail during the 8 month perpetual rain season. Its like the endless heavy fog and rain and mud. You don’t write this song in Arizona or the tropics.
Great point you made----Plus the Indian ghosts haunting Grays Harbor
Except some young dudes from Birmingham, England discovered this slow, heavy sludge sound 20 years before this video was shot.
I’m in Vancouver Canada does that count
@@termsofusepolice Not quite. The Brummies are an influence but I can easily tell the difference.
Or Blink 182 born in San Diego, although I like them, but different style.

Is better than any RadioShack ad I've ever seen
gosh i love nirvana each day even more
I love seeing these old videos
Cool “music video” for the most abrasive yet strangely catchy song on “Bleach”. Definitely one of the top five songs on that album. BTW, whoever the sound engineer or producer was who recorded this song, they should have won an award for “Most Gloriously Grungy Recording of the Year”.
Jack Endino recorded it. Legendary cat.
They each had their own unique sound and style but the bridge of this has always given me AIC vibes. I would've LOVED to have been in RadioShack on this day..such a close and personal gig😍 (if they were really playing..Krist's bass is a toy😆)
I love the way he says - nirvana... nirvana....
Always been one of my favourite Nirvana songs. Our(?) whole existence is for your amusement and thaaats whyyy I'm hereeee with youuuuuuuuuu
god kurt's scream is amazing
Increíble todas las rolas de Cobain , En todas una pasión inmensa a su arte y a su rock .
AWWW THEY WERE SUCH BABIES THIS IS SO COOL TO SEE
They were blowing weed smoke in front of the cameras to simulate a fog machine.
Just cigarette smoke. Back in the day, we used to smoke indoors.
Rick C Remember going to Denny’s and the person seating you would say “smoking or non-smoking“?
I remember Arby's used to have a smoking section when I was a kid.

Nirvana - Paper Cuts [Lyrics] At my feeding time She pushed food through the door And I crawl towards the crack of light Sometimes I can't find my way Newspapers spread around Soaking all that they can A cleaning is due again A good hosing down The lady whom I feel maternal love for Cannot look me in the eyes But I see hers and they are blue And they cock and twist and masturbate! I said so (x3) Nirvana (x6) Black windows of paint I scratched with my nails I see others just like me Why do they not try to escape? They bring out the older ones They point at my way They come with a flash of light (Alt: They come with flashing lights) And take my family away And very later I have learned To accept some friends of ridicule My whole existence is for your amusement And that is why I'm here with you! To take you with me You're right Nirvana (x8) .
