Come, as you are, as you were, as I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy
Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late
Take a rest, as a friend, as an old
Memoria, memoria, memoria, memoria
Come, doused in mud, soaked in bleach, as I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old
Memoria, memoria, memoria, memoria
And I swear that I, don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun, no, I don't have a gun
-ria, memoria, memoria, memoria (No, I don't have a gun)
Well, I swear that I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun, no, I don't have a gun
No, I don't have a gun, no, I don't have a gun

To be totally honest, I never really "got" Nirvana. And I like everything! I am a music freak. That is why I like RP. This "Unplugged" lp is really the only group of songs they recorded that I like, and the only lp I own by them. It is fabulous. Especially the covers. RIP Kurt.

Play some proper Nirvana. How about "Rainbow Chaser"?

This entire album is superb. Can listen to it back to back any day of the week.

It is amazing how well this follows the Hip.
Hats off to the DJ once again.
We are not worthy.

I don't think Nirvana was as good as Radiohead or REM, but man, did they really shake things up. Kurt's voice still haunts me after all these years. Yes, he did matter.
They were a very good band.
But I'm afraid they represent the death of R n R.
Their Pain, Angst, Anger, Despair (PAAD) "thud n drone" formula was unique in 1991 but ever "R n R" band since then has followed this formula. 2013 is 1991. Stagnation.
I'm afraid R n R is evolving into jazz. Each hit a peak and then stagnated...no experimentation. Just same ole formula.

If it was Nirvana, Kurt, why were you in such a f******g hurry to leave?
Too much whining.

Just because you're dead don't mean their not after you...apparently. Awesome band. Spectacular album.

Wow. So much emotion. They were a good band and had some good songs, dude was troubled and killed himself. Happens all the time, what's the big deal? This is one of their good ones. 8

Great stuff and just what I need after spending about 6 hours writing a very difficult letter...I love the unplugged stuff it is right from his very troubled soul. RIP Kurt
I enjoy every song on this album more than the studio counterpart. Unplugged is one of my favorite CDs of all time. It just goes to show, there's no accounting for taste.
There's just so much more feeling in the unplugged versions.

Yahtzee!
I didn't get Nirvana or their music at first. But the rawness in his voice grew on me after while.
And the band is a lot tighter than people give them credit for. After all, these are the guys who turned into the Foo Fighters.
Still, it would have been interesting to see him develope further, had he survived his addiction and the accompanying depression.

Certainly a classic, but I will say I much prefer the stuff Dave Grohl has been putting out with Foo Fighters (notwithstanding the fact that the time I saw FF, they blew live). The music is just more vibrant. I guess I don't appreciate the tortured aspect of Nirvana. Is that the difference? Easy to say knowing how it turned out, but I can't remember how I saw them back in the day... other than resentment that they were considered the the godfathers of grunge when I much prefered Soundgarden and Screaming Trees.
I like this song just fine, but the "unplugged" treatment adds nothing. Unnecessary while the original is still available.

Music is not the sound that comes from the guitar, it is the hand that plays it.

There is that but there is was also an extreme self-esteem problem there that was even evident watching Nirvana play live.
And, for better or worse, Nirvana brought rock and roll back into the top 40 and I will always appreciate them for that.

Check out the book "Heavier than Heaven." It gives an excellent account of Kurt and his woes. Sad deal. Damn good music, though.
Well, I am not going to go that far but I have never been a fan of them. They had their bit but to me I never 'got them'.
Many people I respect really like them so don't take this as a slap anyone. Just not my bag.

Yeah, but it wasn't "I'm all Plugged up". It was "I'm all Shook up".
Great song though I prefer the version on NEVERMIND.

Good point. The Foo Fighters' first two albums and his drumming in QOTSA's "Songs for the Deaf" are the highlights of his career. Everything else is kind of blah. Guys like Neil Pert, Jimmy Chamberlin, Josh Freese and Danny Carey have him beat when it comes to drumming. Those four are the best around, really...
Nirvana...classic rock N roll story.. talented indeed.
Considering how he died, the repeated line "No, I don't have a gun" is kinda ironic.

You people make it so difficult to be objective!
While I'm certainly not one of the Cobainites who think Nirvana saved music for the new millenium, I cannot deny that they're music is beautiful on virtually every level. There's a purity to their work that I can only compare to a handful of others, among them the Beatles.
I LOVE Pink Floyd, but there's no way they're one of the greatest rock bands, although they were one of the best-produced bands of all time. As for Hendricks, I think it's smart to compare his work with Nirvana's -- infectious, hard-laced, technically accomplished pop rock. Neither Jimi nor Kurt said they were in it for the money, but they made millions. Flip Nevermind and Experience on the Rolling Stone list, who cares.

When I was in High School in the late 70's, Rolling Stone, while very opinionated, was a pretty good musical magazine. Sometime in the 90's they started losing money and started making an effort to be more "relevant." This has resulted in more coverage to "flavor of the month's" and other musical dreck commonly played on MTV and Top 40 radio. Look at the amount of press they give Britney Spears, Christina (however you spell her last name) and other "artists" of that ilk. One only has to look as far as who gets on the cover of that magazine these days to realize that its mucical and critical relevance has long since passed.
That has nothing really to do with their ranking of Nevermind, but I had to just get this off my chest. Sorry.
Totally ground-breaking, talented and innovative group, whose demented lead singer could not hold it together in the end. That adds to the mysticism, but his voice and style will live forever.
Hoping that Santa brings me the new boxed set for Christmas.

I agree. Jimi is one of my favorites. Rolling Stone's losing it's long term memory I guess. But it's only Rolling Stone, not the most reliable source for non-partisan judgements. If Kurt were still alive he would disagree with the RS ranks too.

A friend of mine booked bands into Florida State University for a couple of decades. He tells me that the most professional band he ever booked -- in the serious way in which they approached the show -- was Nirvana. In my estimation, that says quite a bit. On the other side of the ledger, I saw a Todd Rundgren show where Todd was tuning a gujitar and then broke into a perfect few notes of this song, looked up, and said: "These kids today, they're so complex." I don't necessarily think Nirvana was groundbreaking, but I do think they were pretty damn good.

Not to quibble, but "pitch" is the psychological correlate of "frequency." Meaning, pitch is what the listener perceives; frequency is what the sound source is outputting, or how many cycles per second the sine wave is traveling, and how many vibrations are ocurring( your eardrum vibrates 1000 times per sec, voila, the sound is 1000 Hz.) Frequency is what is measured (Hz). So, pitch is what is actually subjective.
For the record, great song! Studio or live version.
Gives a damn,
r.e.s.
I usually refrain from posting negative comments, but...Nirvana's is absolutely confounding to me. I have no idea why they are always listed on top 10 lists, and as being some major influence in rock. Granted they had guts to play plain, old rock n roll when others where holding meetings in board rooms for set lists. However, they are hardly original, or even that talented. I personally really don't like their style, but understand why others might. Still, keep 'em where they should be - somewhere in the middle of the pack of a long list of other bands.

There's a difference between being dissonent and being out of tune. I have to doubt your claim of it being deliberate because it only happens on the Unplugged tracks where they don't have the luxury of multiple takes and studio engineers telling them it's time to retune. On the studio albums their guitars are dissonent, noisy and clashing, but they're still in tune.
Sorry for the confusion; I think you're closer to right. I'm probably the last person who should try and explain it anyway, as I don't play guitar. BUT, I remember reading in a Nirvana biography that the intentionally used "off" tuning, not tuning their guitars in the 'standard' way; that's what I was referring to in my earlier post.
And I don't doubt that some of their out-of-tuneness on Unplugged was due to the fact that it was live and they couldn't do it over. In fact, I think that there's a bit of 'banter' in between songs where kurt complains about his guitar or something.
