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.

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”.

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.

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.

@@richardbutkis There's plenty easier, but the tricky part is to get the feel right. I've heard so many shitty covers of this by people who think just cuz they can fret and strum the four chords they got it figured out. Nuh uh. There's all sorts of little subtelties in Kurt's playing, with how he mutes the strings, how he sometimes strums notes outside the power chord, etc. that give it an extra depth and crunch.
It’s pretty much one of the easiest songs ever. It’s easy to learn on all instruments
It's so trippy to see this stuff impacting younger generations, it's wild any of us who were teenagers when this came out were all effected by Nirvana, and countless other artists. But if you ask anyone who was a young person when Kurt died, they all remember where they were/what was going on in their life when news spread that Kurt was gone. Had a massive impact on us all.

Wish Kurt had found the help and people he needed to see his music still cheered 32 years later every time another generation of new musicians play it. Good job dudes.
If this had happened foo fighters would never have existed.
@@Drummerboi_2002 And? you value a band over a man's life?
@@joelebruno pretty sure they're implying that they would prefer Kurt Cobain to be alive and have Foo Fighters never exist as a band
@@joelebruno Well, yes. I value more something than can stay (theoretically) forever, than a man's life, which have time limit on it. Everyone will die. Not everyone will be still remembered 32 years later.
Kurt blew his brains out because he knew kids would be doing cringe shit like this 30 years on
I really hope this 4-piece stuck together. There is an undeniable chemistry and unspoken language between all of the bandmates, no spoken words just looks and nods and they all stuck together. Moreover, all of them have inherent stage charisma and confidence which is not easy to find or learn. Plus, that kid singing has some real chops, his voice is powerful as heck.
1000th like lol feels so powerful. Anyways i really hope they did!! Thats something you can tell they work very well together fs
I legit had no idea my comment was as appreciated as it was. Thank you! My sentiment still stands, I hope these kids become stars. @@BD40.
That bassist is my spirit animal (pun intended) But my dude killed it covering Kurts vocals, and ripping lead guitar...... at 17 or 18 yrs old?!?! Awesome
Props to the bassist. From bassist to bassist, awesome work, dude!
this is one of the best feelings ever, performing infront of your school
Why???
@@oscarenbeta4793 it just feels so awesome with the whole school cheering you on and everything
@@heHefuny but what if you play like @ss? Or if they ask you for a song that you don't know or is it not the typical one that everyone learns? (smells like a teen spirit)
It's always the bassists! 😂
@@oscarenbeta4793 well, i dont perform songs that i haven't rehearsed so i wouldnt know, and if you sound like ass, so be it
Hard not to rush this song when you’re on stage and hyped up for a crowd. Nicely done staying mostly on tempo and you killed the vocals. Sounding good!
Agreed!! I’m in chorus and when we’re singing a positive song we tend to speed up! These guys were very impressive
I just gotta say--- that bassist has the most luxurious hair
this dude NAILED the vocals. absolutely insane!
At 48 years old, I've gone full circle. From seeing them in concert, to now, when the new kids like/cover them again.
Must have been awesome to listen to Nirvana live
@@cooljon4240 an experience we sadly can’t recreate
Everyone in here commenting how they weren't 100% true to the studio recording as if Kurt wouldn't intentionally change random things in the sound to make it feel slightly "off" when playing live (and that's on the moderate end) and that that isn't a massive part of the entire grunge genre, great cover
Exactly, grunge is meant to be played raw and not to perfection. You just do what you feel like playing
LOL they should go back and listen to Kurt play it on Top of the Pops - see how true to the studio recording that was
rlly?! when i was watching i couldn’t stop thinking about how eerily similar they sound to nirvana lol. silly thing to nitpick for multiple reasons
Can you imagine the smile it would have brought him to know 32 years down the road it's still being cheered every time it starts though.
@@Aaronn-je8cx So were the guitars so clean then?
The dream and joy of playing a bad ass rock song at prom with your band is one of the few things kids today haven’t lost. It makes me feel good
3:13 they were clapping off beat
I was 19 when this song came out. It was a big part of my life in 1991, and still is. These guys KILLED it! RESPECT!!!
I was 21, and it was earth-shattering at the time.
Same, and loving the mosh pit
Whoever is on bass with the long hair is giving me sooooo much life
literally amazing. these three are gonna be known for this for the literal rest of theyre life. i love this.
arent there four people
This was the first high school band I’ve seen on KZhead that isn’t pure cringe. Nirvana covers are always a bit cringe but if you’re gunna cover them then a high school show is the ideal place to do it 😂
Idk bro getting on his knees was cringe
My band once played this song as if Cake did it. It was pretty good, actually.
@@joebaumgart1146Was it though
@@woopimright he was caught up in the moment, u know in his head he was headlining Glastonbury
@stabhead army not really
the kid singing has an awesome voice for this song!
Came across this randomly but you guys nailed it, especially vocals. A night to remember for all of you for sure. Well done
im so glad kids are still into this music, as an old man it makes my heart glad that yall still enjoy it
You never die if you leave behind a legacy like this. I grew up in the 90’s listening to grunge. Thanks Kurt
This kid can make a damn good impression of Cobain! Those notes aren’t easy to hit. Props to you dude.
Nah. He makes a good impression in terms of tone and aggression and he sings it coorectly. But let’s not sit here and pretend like Smells like teen spirit has any ”hard to hit notes” or that the melody is challenging at any part.
@@HoseTheBeast that... and to be fair... it was played pretty damm sloppy :P
@@woodiewoodmen2306 yes. Yes it was. But they are kids, gotta cut them some slack and give respect anyway.
@@HoseTheBeast Of course, but let's not overexaggerate on the performance 😛
Kids who made a mini mosh pit are the real MVPs
the fact that the school allowed that is awesome.
Reply to my comment if you like little boys.
Not that hard. If I can learn to do it you can
@@charliehendrix1265 you're proving his point lol
@@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.
@@charliehendrix1265 nah but try singing while playing something hard on piano tho
@@charliehendrix1265 singing with chords is completely different LOL these guys were playing fingerstyle which is no comparison and also singing at home is completely different than on a stage because the pressure
Their youthful, nervous energy is wholesome to see from the eyes of an adult.
To see kids still rocking out to Nirvana after all these years is just incredible! ❤
I was a teenager when this song came out. Ran right out and bought the cassette tape. Im really impressed guys! Outstanding job!
Everybody did an awesome job, but the vocalist and lead guitarist doesn't seem to be getting enough love, the dude just KILLED it!!
Love to see the younger generations appreciate the old school. Growing up in the 90s, we would never think about playing 30 year old music
I wouldn’t say that. People covered classic rock a lot back then.
@@tomaskuehn1142seems like we were happy with 60s stuff, but the 70s and 80s had such a style it was hard to cover without just sounding dated gen z seems to be taking the best from all of the past and it's amazing
@@32rqInternet does help with finding stuff more easily ˆˆ
90s rock was something else
during prom a kid played single handedly kickstart my heart with vocals, and nailed every single bit. Everybody loved it, even the non rock fans. True talent
these dudes just did what every highschooler daydreams about
That was amazing! To go from Sleepwalk to Smells Like Teen Spirit? These lads were incredibly brave. Well done lads!
4:09 that random mf jumping on stage made everything betta
Beta male detected
Honestly, the teachers were probably just as excited to hear Teen Spirit as the students were.
y'all absolutely SMASHED IT! this guy's vocals are insane! all of y'all did amazing! i genuinely got shivers mannnn
Respect! They even got the dancing guys on stage like Nirvana concerts!
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.
The moshers ignoring the staff was necessary 😂
I respect this person for recording this, i honestly love watching students from various schools cover rock songs
Frankly, if we are going for as close to the original as possible then the teens jumping around the stage is pretty accurate...
Yeah, reminded me of the video
Damn I ain’t expect the vocals to be that good. The whole band did awesome!
Literally the coolest thing I’ve ever seen done at a school event. The doo wop at the beginning was so beautiful too! And the nirvana cover was flawless!
i seriously got chills watching this, one of the best covers yet
love that girl saying “That’s my boyfriend!” awesome hearing the support
One of my favorite memories EVER is performing with my friend in my high school talent show. I played guitar, she sang. She was a very, very timid person and never spoke much. But when she sang… the audience was floored. It felt like a “Susan Boyle” moment. People’s jaws dropped in awe, they were CRYING, standing ovation, all that. It was really magical. And we got 2nd place against a band like this one. One of my proudest moments.
what song was it?
@@nevula5341 maybe smells like teen spirit since thats what the videos abt
@@nevula5341 “Riptide” by Vance Joy lol. It was popular at the time
@@ghostbooger4534why lol it’s not nirvana but it’s a good track
Beautiful. An authentic performance of what was for my generation a seismic event that changed everything forever. I'll never forget those gloriously messy days. You mad lads did us old Gen Xers proud .
Hell yeah y’all nailed it! Keep rocking fellas, can’t wait to hear more!
this is the best HS talent cover ive ever seen so far
The vocals are really underrated, It is really impressive to sing like that. AMAZING
i played this song out for myself a while ago.. the energy on this stage made me love it again
So beautiful to see the younger kids performing the songs we grew up to! I still remember that one time I played this song with my band and everyone had gone absolutely bonkers! (The school had told us not to perform provocative songs/songs with profanity). Carry the torch guys!
Sleepwalk holds a very special place in my heart. Teen spirit is it's own animal. Well done boy's.
Sleepwalk!! I’ve been looking for this comment!! I knew I knew that song and remembered it began with “S” 😅. Thank you for ending my search! They did phenomenal job.
I hope Kurt is somewhere where he can see that he's become so iconic and beloved that people are still playing, enjoying and straight up blasting the bands music over 3 decades later...all of these kids are a beast, hell of a job
I love looking through the comments and seeing everyone give props to the bassist. I always thought pretty much everyone ignored the bassists, it's really nice seeing people give em some well-deserved appreciation
It’s so weird- and awesome- to see my childhood music being hyped like this by high schoolers today!
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.
