Jeez, I love this song!

It's an amazing song. I have heard it 438,493 times, and it still gives me chills.

Greatest Song of the 90's. Period.

The band that single handily killed the big hair bands. Thank god.

The ninties seem like yesterday.

Thrashing on the floor of 23 Parrish.

Or on the stage at Rock Island.

Just a million seconds ago, or so.

Thank God? Unfortunately, it also killed my way of making a living. You may be thanking God, but it left me homeless, and without a job. Not to mention the thousands of other folks who worked in the rock cubs that lost their jobs when a ton of the clubs that hired 70's, 80's, & early 90's style cover bands closed.

But then again, look how long "grunge" stuck around, and look where rock music is heading today. Right back to the hair band rock and roll style it was before Kurt the rest of them showed up. Don't get me wrong, I like this song and other Nirvana stuff. Hell, we played this song two times a night. And I loved singing it. (Used to do the Weird Al version for fun sometimes.) But, I guess it goes to show you that you really can't kill rock and roll.

Not Nirvana's fault you didn't have a vocation beyond being a hair-flicking Ayatollah of RockNRolla. \m/ \m/ Rawk!

Irony? or Sincerity?

It's so hard to tell any more.

LOL! I noticed how no one commented on the second part of my comment. And yes I had a vocation after the band. The homeless and jobless part was temporary. But it still happened none-the-less. I also didn't do the big hair thing, always though that was ridiculous looking.

Sorry guys, Kurt isn't the Rock God you all seem to think he is. I was told many times by folks that saw Nirvana live that I covered his songs better than he did.

^ C'mon. Don't be so modest.

I saw Nirvana, I listened to Nirvana, and you Sir Duckman33 are no Nirvana.

Funny that you mention them:

8. The cheerleaders in the "Teen Spirit" video were recruited from an LA strip joint. Nirvana really wanted their friend in the band L7 for the part. They were overruled. (Bonus fact: Dave was dating L7's Jennifer Finch at the time.)

9. The janitor was the actual janitor from director Sam Bayer's apartment complex in Venice Beach.

10. Kurt was worried "Teen Spirit" sounded too much like a Pixies song. He was also worried it had too much of the same feeling as Boston's "More Than a Feeling."

11. Nevermind's original recording budget was $65,000. They ended up spending twice that.
