"Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana - Adam Pearce (Acoustic Cover)
I have to swallow a bucket of sand and rusty nails to get my voice to mimic Kurt Cobain’s!
It's not easy to perform Nirvana's songs, but I've been jamming to them since I was a young pup. You can’t be a child of the 90’s and not play Nirvana!
This band helped usher in the grunge era like no other, and, even if you don't like them, you have to respect their influence. Oh yeah, and they made Dave Grohl. So that’s cool too!

Lyrics:
Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
A denial, a denial, a denial, a denial
I thought this was going to be a disaster based on the other covers I have watched of this song, but this was actually really good. Nice job.

This is by far the best cover I’ve seen of this on KZhead in acoustic. If you ever find the time would you do a tutorial on it. There’s hardly any on here for acoustic, especially the solo you did. Would love to learn how put it together.
I really appreciated that, man! Unfortunately, I don't have time for all the tutorial requests.
Wow belle découverte tu es simplement incroyable un super de bel artiste, je partage avec amis qui apprécient tous, vraiment hot !!

Best freakin version 👏👏👏
Now this one was a challenge.
You're epic my man! Just so you know you've got a fan from Lebanon!! Yep, that far away. Would love it if you tried out some Def Leppards, like: love bites, animals, or long long way to go!
OH hell yeah! I'd love to come play in Lebanon some day!
Ну, и я вывалю коммент, раз уж на то пошло, круто делаешь, мужик
Man, I remember seeing this guy at a place in NOLA called the Hanger. He was fronting a band called Black Magnolia. They opened up for another local band called 12 Stones and Black Magnolia in my mind stole the show!!! I remember thinking “Damn! That’s what I want to do!” Like literally felt inspired after watching them
That was a great night, man. I appreciate those kind and motivational words. Keep on rocking, my friend!
Thx for a great cover, bro! Отчужовским привет =)
Love your song covers. Brilliant song choices too. Especially the cumbersome one. Billie Jean. Drive. Jim Croce. I implore you to do Rio by Duran Duran next. Stay great! 😎
Oh hell yeah! That's a strong possibility!
Sickkkkk keep e'm songs coming bro
That's the plan! Thank you!
Great job man , Kurt would be proud lol😜
Thank ya very much!
Greta music and side note your hair is awesome

Greetings from Thujoy's channel viewers! Great performance.
So who is Thujoy and why am I getting his viewers?
@@AdamPearceMusic he has a channel on KZhead called "Thujoy" about bikes and some other stuff in Russian. And he introduced your music in his latest video.
I like the cat singing with you.
Haha! Yes indeed!
Wow, you have an amazing voice! If it's not a secret, how long have you been making music? :)
No secret at all! About 15 years now.
👏👏👏👍👍👍🙏
Thank ya!
Didn't even have to wait til the end to like the video
Very nice! Thank you!
Привет от Чужого!
Лицехваты собрались. Привет от Чужого))
Hey man I’m a 16 year old with no hobbies but you have made me want to learn acoustic guitar
Awesome!
You're really good. Love it I think you'd be very very famous if you were born in the 60s
Much appreciated!
Call the cat!!! 😂😂😂 1:23
Lol. Yep!
jajajaj the cat, so funny great version
Haha! Glad you dug that part!
Awesome! If you haven’t done it already would you please do Photograph by Def Leppard?
I'd have to learn it. Never attempted that one!
