"Punk Rock Means Freedom" The punkier side of Nirvana. I did a short video of this playing 5 guitar riffs but I thought I would extend it a little bit using some of your suggestions. Feel free to add some of your own.

Weirdest Nirvana riffs?
In terms of a weird, disconcerting sound: Beeswax, Gallons of Alcohol or Sifting. In terms of weird, batshit crazy: Tourette’s, Mexican Seafood, Aero Zeppelin or Milk It.
Blandest, If You Must, Anorexorist, Pen Cap Chew, Hairspray Queen 🤗
"Aero Zeppelin", "Paper Cuts". Oh, and we can't forget "Evenflow".
@@masteryeet3600bro you didn’t say endless, nameless for batshit crazy what???
I disagree
The neck tapping at the beginning fooled me into thinking you were gonna open with School xD
different track 4
Me too, lol
He does the same thing for breed during live and loud so it could have been that or school .
same
Yep, me too
i love how this channel got to 140 k subs, with just raw unedited playing, not even with backing tracks, just pure bedroom guitaring vibe
The genre he plays are also the genre I listen to and he does the covers accurately.
That is honestly so punk
Set list: 0:08 -Breed 0:42 -Aneurysm 1:36 -Even in his Youth 2:03 -Milk it 2:32 -Radio friendly unit shifter 2:58 -Molly's lips 3:32 -Polly(new wave) 4:08 -Downer 4:52 -Tourettes 5:35 -Territorial Pissings
Dave Grohl actually said in The Storyteller that Territorial Pissings is the most punk Nirvana song.
I agree with Dave.
In Utero from Very Ape up until Tourette's has got to be one of my favorite moments in music, there's a ton of cool ass riffs, noise-y rock and punk rock driven songs and some of Kurt's best vocals, also props to the album for having such an amazing ending track as All Apologies
the best nirvana's riffs🐐
Radio friendly unit shifter hypes me up too much
I've been listening to heaps of Nirvana over the last couple of days so this was pretty great timing. The heavy punk stuff in In Utero is so good! (As is the rest of the album)
Fantastic video as usual. From these riffs, it shows how Kurt is really a fantastic guitarist.
Yeah these were actually harder than I remember. Got cramp a few times.
You Know Its Gonna Be A Good Vid When Hes Using The Cyclone 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Man I thought it was a Mustang this whole time lol
@@forzamazdaseries7378a cyclone is basically just strat hardware on a mustang body with an HS configuration (there’s also a cyclone II which came with three jaguar pickups so that’s confusing)
Tone on point as always. Good stuff Blox
Thanks dude
The best pearl jam song is definitely man in the box. has to be the best song on Bleach
Er, sorry but I think you're a bit confused. Spoonman is the best song on Bleach.
@@minedarea true true my bad
@@minedarea wb killing in the name
No, dude, it's "Angry Chair"! Duhhh.🙄
Alice In Chains sings , " Man In The Box " ???
Utterly fire playing
Very cool playing and the tone sounds great as well!
I kept waiting for something to change with Molly’s lips
Worst riff ever
Это не его песня!
always a treat
This was a fun one, great job Bloxsy!
Thanks dude
was waiting the entire video for both territorial and tourretes specifically and was not disappointed :)
Love the videos man, thought could u do a stereophonics riff compilation, would love to see that
awesome like always
that tone is fire 🔥🔥
you play the guitar very good
I was waiting to see the long form of punk nirvana riffs. And the day come❤
Thanks for watching!
that tone is spot on.
i was sure you'r gonna put territorial in this ! gg nice job !
Great riffing man! 🤘🙌
Thanks man!
Great sound!
Sounds perfect 👌
Thanks!
Bro please do a pedal board tour And tone tutorial 😭😭😭
I love how Nirvana riffs are never repetitive.
great cover of nirvana
Nice playing man
Thanks man
You're good, man. I love the guitar. Bad ass
Thanks man. Really appreciate it.
Nails it , as usual
Awesome
My favorites
i like nirvana your covers are good
Thank you.
Aero Zeppellin is so Underrated...
You missed Son Of A Gun as another part of the Nirvana list! That’s totally fine
Perfect tone, just like the albums
Knew before I even opened the video Territorial was gonna be #1. Quintessential punk riff right there.
Best video
Damn, so thats what my favorite Nirvana songs are closest to. Didn't think of them as punk haha
Impressive how you keep coming up with interesting video ideas. This really highlights the punk influence at the root of Nirvana. Sometimes you run these riffs into the ground. It’s like we get the idea after the third or fourth time through the chord loop lol. Probably need to make the video a certain length though. All in all great work as usual :)
Thanks. Yeah on this particular one I didn’t edit it down like I normally do. I will note to keep them shorter though like my others
nice tone
Nice work, also nice jacket where’d you get it?
solos punk rock, please. I love your videos.
Awesome man , i mean as always. Also what's exact model of the Mustang,is it still being sold ?
It's a Fender Cyclone but it was discontinued many years ago. You might still be able to find one on the used market, but they don't come up very often.
Endless nameless 😉
Glad to hear you really play out Aneurysm. Maybe their greatest song? (I know, I know.....)
#nirvana4ever!!!!!!!
I think the cover of Vaselines' "Son Of A Gun" is the punkest Nirvana song ever.
Territorial pissings looks like a husker du song,and i love that
Adoro Nirvana...
Aneurysm is my favorite Nirvana riff
Top
❤❤❤❤❤
You should cover Talk To Me
Aí deve estar bem frio.. aqui no Brasil a gente derretendo de tanto calor... importante é ver o rock acontecer! Fico impressionada quando escuto Nirvana. Sei algumas músicas da banda, Unplugged Nirvana foi uma inspiração pra eu poder aprender tocar violão.
Tem estado frio, está ficando mais quente agora
do most metal nirvana riff
I said "Breed" out loud before clicking on the video and then proceeded to freak out for a bit
Can really hear the Wipers influence when it's this stripped down
Hey Bloxsy, fucking deadly video as usual, my man. I was wondering if you've ever listened to Jeff Rosenstock. Dude is bascially the king of modern Pop Punk/Power Pop & has some came up with some pretty disgusting riffs. Especially of his "Worry" & "Hellmode" albums
Thank you. No I've never heard of him, I'll have to check his stuff out.
Ngl, territorial pissings's my fav song from nirvana, it's so hc.
The way u play the power chords, for example, in Mollys Lips, how ru pressing the strings? In the first chord, are u pressing the fifth and fourth string on the fifth and fourth fret respectively or is it fifth fret, fifth and fourth string? Same question for second chord.
I'm not sure what you mean, but this is what I'm playing G---------------------5----5 D------5-----5------5----5 A------5-----5------3----3 E------3-----3---------------
@@bloxsy_ohhhh ok!! Now i see. U use the ring finger to press on both strings. Thank u for replying! Awesome channel. Great song selection and great playing. Saludos from Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷
I was listening to this and furiously fingerdrumming the back side of my phone :)
👍👍🎸🎸top ,de top !!! Chepa mais t'assure grave !!!! 😇👍👍🎸
Mmmmm new Bloxsy nirvana video mmmmmmm yummy
Molly’s Lips is another cover of the Vaselines
Màn wish you live......in Australia
Me too!
Дякую, класно як завжди.
Thank you!
The sound is very nice ,mind listing the equipment man?
Thanks. It’s a fender cyclone and a boss katana amp. All sounds are from the katana
Thanks man!@@bloxsy_
I was expecting to see, very ape, sliver and lounge act as well. Though good choices
(New wave) Polly sounds very similar to No Pride by Green Day
When I was an alien
territorial pissings is as wild and raw as bleach but as good and clean as nevermind somehow
Sound like Nirvana
Top refused,top touche amore,top afi,top turnstile
what pedal do you use?
Son of gun / cover Mr. Moustache
Nirvana IS punk
No, is not
But is nice
It's grunge
@@user-sm1qf5jk6i Yea? They’re punk and grunge?
Yep. This retarded "grunge" label is nothing but a Subpop marketing term that know-it-all kids love to parrot. If you can't figure out Nirvana's a punk band, you're probably kinda slow.
que buen sonido de guitarra, que fue lo que utilizaste?
Gracias. Usé un Fender Cyclone y una Boss Katana.
Like deployed 👍
Technically, Molly’s Lips is a cover.
Funny how a lot of them are the same finger motions just at different speeds and notes
I'd love to know how he records these. As in does he connect the amp straight into the laptop?
Yes that's right. There is a USB cable going from the back of the Katana amp into my laptop. It's just easier I guess.
@@bloxsy_ what program do you use on the laptop?
I use GarageBand, always have done :)
Nice video! Would have loved to see Come As You Are, even though it’s not punky
Yeah that's kind of post-punk in a way? Like Eighties inspired
Well, I mean considering the point of this video… Yeah. Kind of makes sense that’s not here
have u heard "emergency and i" by the dismeberment plan? its filled with cool math rock riffs, maybe u can make a "emergency and i - the riffs" video
I haven't but I'll check it out.
@@bloxsy_ you should! its an indie rock classic
@@bloxsy_ incredible imo, but it can be off putting at first. took me one or two extra listens to fall in love
Cool list👍 Mollys lips is cover, not Nirvana song.
whats the rig rundown
What is your model guitar?
It's a Fender Cyclone
Have you done Stone Temple Pilots riffs yet?
No but I really should! Which are your favourites?
@@bloxsy_ In no particular order: 12. Unglued 11. Army Ants 10. Dumb Love 9. Silvergun Superman 8. Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart 7. Crackerman 6. Dead & Bloated 5. Interstate Love Song 4. Sex Type Thing 3. Plush 2. Creep 1. Wicked Garden
@@dustee985bro you gotta add big empty on there too
What kind of distortion do you use in this video?
It's the distortion from a Boss Katana amp. I can't remember which one specifically.
where is negative creep
Bro do STP riff
Oh yeah man, I was thinking of doing some. Any favourite riffs?
Heeeey How about "Mr. Moustache", "Mrs. Butterworth", "Endless, Nameless", "Stain"???
All fair suggestions
@@bloxsy_do a part 2
kurt play punk you play like kurt
ok i love your videos, and i hate to be that guy, but molly's lips is not a nirvana song, it's by the vaselines, nirvana just covered it
Thanks. Yeah I know, but it's worth putting on there I thought.
