Aneurysm was the perfect first song for you guys.

What a song to start with! Everything that Nirvana was musically is distilled into this song.

It's kind of amazing none of you had heard Nirvana before. They were arguably the biggest band  in the world in the 90s and had a genre of music (Grunge) based off of their sound.  Smells Like Teen Spirit is their biggest hit. Definitely worth giving a listen to.

Nirvana changed my path in Life.”Beat me out of me”is my favorite line ✌🏻

I can’t believe mom has never heard this before…. Mind blown

I don’t think it’s possible to not know Nirvana if you lived in any western world country in the 90’s. Seriously not possible!

No one can deny the raw power and catchiness of this band. It gave me chills to watch all of your minds get blown!! This band helped save my life, back in the day. Thank you.

Nirvana was the band that made me become a musician back in 92. Best band ever.

To see these girls faces come to life during the song is so much fun. Gen x nirvana fan here.

Kurt Cobain was the lead singer.He took his own life in 1994

Nirvana live is the best way to experience Nirvana

If you were alive in the 90's, you know Nirvana, even if you didn't listen to them! They basically took over the world in the early 90's! I like the Reading version of Anyerusm the best!

More obscure Nirvana stuff is brilliant. Fond memories listening to Nevermind cassette while paddling as a young lad:)

Lithium, Come as You Are, Drain You, Where Did You Sleep Last night?  - You will entirely fall in love more with Nirvana, thanks for the reaction.

Never heard of Nirvana?!? This band DEFINED the 90's decade 😁 They came out of Seattle and turned the rock scene on its head in 1991 and the entire music industry changed overnight in 1992 - everything 80's went out the door because of Nirvana ... It was crazy. But the band was short-lived and met a tragic end in 1994.
Kurt Cobain was born and raised in Olympia, Washington... his parents' split and he felt frustrated in the conservative, dead end part of the country... Getting into rock music as a teen in the 80's gave him inspiration. He loved The Beatles and eventually got into heavier music like Black Sabbath, Celtic Frost and Led Zeppelin... He wanted to play music and became friends w/ Buzz Osbourne, a guitarist who fronted a popular local indie band The Melvins... Buzz Osbourne taught Kurt how to play guitar, but he could never be as proficient as the lead guitarists of the 80's... so, Kurt focused on making simple, heavy riffs and memorable melodies.
In 1987, he met punk rock bassist Krist Novoselic and he decided to form a band w/ the tall, striking bass player... Eventually, Chad Channing (drums) joined and Kurt Cobain (vocals & guitar) named the band Nirvana by 1988 ... he began writing his own songs and had a clear idea of what he wanted to play and sound like early on... A local record label Sub Pop was interested in signing Nirvana, but they had to self-finance their own record. Guitarist Jason Everman loaned them about $600 to do the album and was given credit on the album's liner notes... Nirvana released their debut album "Bleach" in 1989... The trio was raw, abrasive and explosive onstage... and they were unlike anything out there at the time.

Most 80's bands had to have the big hair, spandex pants, leather outfits and boots... Nirvana were 3 greasy, long-haired guys wearing cheap flannel shirts and torn jeans and sneakers (They were so broke that they couldn't afford anything else!)... the bass player was tall, the drummer was an elf... Kurt looked like a derelict... but their image was not something the music industry had produced... Despite being completely unknown, Nirvana generated a buzz in the indie scene and even got to tour Europe... In 1990, Nirvana had a new batch of songs and made some demos in Wisconsin w/ producer Butch Vig but had no finances to make the record.

In 1991, Nirvana was getting offers from major labels and signed w/ Geffen Records, who gave them little money but full creative freedom and a good royalty rate... they decided to hire producer Butch Vig from Wisconsin and make the record in Van Nuys, California... Dave Grohl (drums) had replaced Channing by early '91 and one of the new songs that had come from a jam session was the song 'Smells like teen spirit'... Butch Vig opted to polish Nirvana's sound in the studio and gave the band an album that was way ahead of "Bleach".
With a 2nd album 'Nevermind' set for release in the fall of 1991, Nirvana were still broke and took gigs to keep promoting themselves... the label hired a school gym that became the filming set for the music video for 'Smells like teen spirit'... which was to be the first single. MTV put it on the air and it exploded in popularity overnight and radio started playing it everywhere... Nirvana went to Europe to play a few shows, and when they returned in November, they were shocked to learn that 'Nevermind' was at #1 on the US charts where it had knocked off Michael Jackson's 'Dangerous' album... 'Nevermind' was selling so fast in late '91 that Geffen Records had to order more copies of the album than any other artist on their roster.

In 1992, Nirvana had become an overnight sensation and Kurt Cobain and the band were on all the magazine covers... Nirvana was selling out everywhere and all over MTV and radio... In Europe, Asia, Australia, S. America... Nirvana was fast becoming a sensation. They went from 3 broke guys to having made million$ that year... Suddenly, other bands from Seattle were blowing up as well - Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains... were a few that were suddenly selling millions of records as well in 1992 and the press was calling the new Seattle rock sound "grunge rock"... Overnight, 80's bands like Poison, Warrant, Bang Tango, Enuff Z'nuff... went from being popular to becoming ridiculed and unhip in the 90's decade.
Nirvana spent 1992 on the road, the opted to take a break. Kurt Cobain had married his girlfriend Courtney Love, who was the singer/ guitarist of her indie rock band Hole, and the 2 welcomed a daughter - Frances Bean.
In late 1992, Geffen Records opted to release a collection of unreleased Nirvana songs as the album 'Incesticide'... which included the song 'Aneurysm'... However, the band's troubles were only beginning.

Kurt Cobain had been suffering from a painful stomach ailment and doctors were unable to explain or alleviate his pain... Sadly, he turned to he+++n (like many of the youth in Washington state) and it was getting out of control by 1993... Kurt was also resolved to making Nirvana's next album 'In Utero' a more natural, raw album than the polished 'Nevermind'... Released in 1993, 'In Utero went to #1 on the charts, but there was controversy, especially the song 'Rape me' that Wal Mart objected to (The band changed the title on the CD cover to 'Waif me' to placate the store chain) ... Nirvana also appeared on 'MTV Unplugged' where Kurt Cobain gave one of the greatest acoustic performances in the show's history, all done in 1 take... Instead of playing Nirvana's hits, the band opted to play some cover songs that no one had heard (by The Vaselines, Meat Puppets, David Bowie) and ended the set w/ a powerful version of Leadbelly's "Where did you sleep last night".

In 1994, Nirvana went to play a European tour but in Italy, Kurt Cobain made headlines when he attempted suicide w/ pills... He was revived and sent back home where both he an Courtney Love went to rehab separately in the Spring. However, Kurt jumped the fence of the facility and disappeared... Friends recalled meeting him boarding a flight back to Seattle in April.

In April 1994, an electrician came by to work on Kurt Cobain's home in Seattle... He saw a body inside the house and notified the police. The body was that of Kurt Cobain and he had left a suicide note explaining his turmoil. He had apparently purchased a shotgun and shot himself up w/ he+++n a final time before using the shotgun on himself - he had to be identified w/ his fingerprints. Kurt Cobain was only 27 years of age. Nirvana was over... his death left a huge void in the 90's rock scene.

Dave Grohl (drums) took a few months off before he opted to start a new band from scratch w/ an album he had written and played everything on (guitar/ bass/ drums/ vocals) ... He called the new Foo Fighters and released the album in 1995... Dave Grohl (vocals & guitar) hired Nirvana's touring guitarist Pat Smear w/ Nate Mendel (bass) and William Goldsmith (drums) and began touring in '95/ '96 but refused to play any Nirvana songs live... The album became a platinum success and Grohl was able to have a second successful career w/ Foo Fighters.

Krist Novoselic (bass) did some projects after Nirvana  (Sweet 75... Eyes Adrift) but he eventually left the music industry and focused on being a local politician... He and Dave Grohl are still friends to this day.

In 2002, a greatest hits 'Nirvana' album was released w/ the last song Kurt Cobain recorded w/ the band - "You know you're right"... his raw emotions were on full display near the end of his life 😪

Greatest band of my generation 🔥

THEY HAD ENERGY LIKE NOBODY ELSE !!! RIP KURT 💔

Nirvana is one of the best bands that ever existed period.

She keeps it pumping straight to my heart ❤️.

Oh man.  I do love seeing these reactions.  I was a teenager in Seattle in the early 80's and it was pretty much the back end of Nowhere.  There was no internet, there were no cell phones.  We heard rumors of the outside world but very little of it came our way.  So we smoked a lot of pot and drank cheap beer and made weird music.  This is what came of all that.
