Big Scary cover Nirvana 'Come As You Are' for triple j's Like A Version 

As a music enthusiast I have to believe that Kurt is not turning over in his grave, but is appreciating the passion these people have for music and their attempt not to recreate his song, but to simply make it their own. Same song. Different interpretation. a beautiful tribute in my opinion.

My god the concept of 'cover' is lost on so many people. Doesn't sound like grunge? Nothing like the original? It doesn't feel raw?.., no shit. It's a cover. It's a unique version of the original. Nothing more. No one is trying to steal your heart shaped box. More credit should go to bands like this who actually make the effort to make it their own arrangement. Just shut up about how much you love kurt, and picture walking into a chilled bar, and then hearing the ghosts of some of your favourite tunes while you sip on a martini. I particularly found the tempo change on 'memmmmoria' quite soothing. Saxophone was Genius...

As a Nirvana fan, I must congratulate this guys for such an amazing and fresh cover. It's not just about repeating the music, but to give it your own touch. Great work!

People saying "it's nothing like the original "😭it's not like a karaoke - relax your hate glands for once please

Why all the hate ?even Krist Novacelic (nirvana's bassist) liked it and even gave it a shout out on twitter.

This cover is dope, super smooth and chilling. Everyone in the comments are comparing it so hard to the original... bruh thats why it's "like a version". They created their own take on the classic by using their own unique sound

Anyone who attempts to cover a Nirvana track has some big balls of steel. Congrats Big Scary

people on here saying "you cant cover nirvana!" or "nothing beats the original" and then turning around to listen to lake of fire, man who sold the world,where did you sleep last night, ect they covered heartbreaker too btw

Like A Version nails another one and the purpose is "not to copy" the song and instead own it. Big Scary turns the song upside down. They take all the anger out of the song and make it into a soothing sexy song.

From a hardcore Nirvana fan, who knows every single song of theirs on guitar, this is great. Kurt himself would even appreciate it if he were alive im sure. Great work.

Sounds like the outro song for a really depressing episode of Black Mirror

Stumbled across this in may 2021 and kicking myself I’ve never heard it before. What a cover.

Whether you love it or hate it, props to Tom and Joanna for having the confidence to tackle such an iconic song and put their own twist on it

If you listen to this as an independent song, and not compare to the song of which they are covering, it's actually quite haunting and beautiful. Like a Versions should not be compared to the song that they are covering, and instead, judged as an independent song. If they wanted to be compared to the original song, they wouldn't add their own twists, and instead try and make their song sound as much like the original as they possibly could.

You know nothing will touch the original. And I still really think this version is very atmospheric and contends respectably with any cover out there, including massively famous bands with household names. But whether you like this version or you don't, it should never be down thumbed. It's encouraging to see 20-somethings giving such praise to the 90's and nirvana. This is just another way it stays alive. And every little bit brings rock music closer to it's triumphant return to glory.

I get a Phil Collins vibe from this and it's awesome. 🤘🏼

Whenever you can fit sax in like this, you should.

Every comment I read: "Can't believe how much everyone hates this..." Me: Still trying to find a comment that hates this.

Read the comments before watching the video and I was already disappointed but after listening I loved this version. It's original, fresh and soothing. To each his own eh?

I love how this cover has a completely different vibe and sound to the original. It's so good to see another Aussie band putting there original touch on a much loved song! I'm obsessed with this cover!!!

3:38 when you're walking through TSA and they "randomly" select you out of the line.

interpretation is the beauty found in covers like these....

A well played stripped back version of an awesome old song. This to me is what like a version is all about. Brilliant work!

Okay, This is amazing. Seriously, I never cared for this song growing up. Too harsh. I know, hate me. But this made me fall in love with the song and actually hear it for the first time. The lyrics, the melody, the meaning. I never realized how spiritual the message is; I actually picture walking down the aisle to it. It's truly about loving somebody, no matter how they show up. BRAVO! And extra bravo for dealing with the passive aggressive mocking from the DJs who are simply jealous of your talent and think they are not being painfully obvious as they attempt to shame you. They lost because you are brilliant. Thank you from Los Angeles for making me so happy with this cover. DJs bow down. Soho Haus Rules - Jackie Hyme

This is hands down one of my favorite nirvana songs and i actually love this. Its not Nirvana but i still love this take on the song. I feel they really hit the nail on the head in what Like a Version should be, its twist on the original is rather soothing - say what you will and haters going to do their thing cause they 'know nirvana better then you because of reasons made up' but this is great!

Love like a version when a band makes a great song different but still awesome - that is what takes real talent. Great work Big Scary.

I'm a freaking huge Nirvana fan, they really helped me when i was a teenager and I've got to say that this cover really is awesome. I love the way they portrayed this song. I think songs like this really help show much of a genius Kurt really was. His harmonies and song writing are second to none in my opinion. This cover really brings that out. Damn good cover, that dude has a really good voice too.

I absolutely love this cover, such a relaxing vibe from the band and awesome voice from the singer. I love any cover where someone uses those little shakers haha

Such a complex and smoothing version of the iconic Nirvana’s Come as you are. Utterly amazing, Kurt would appreciate this for what it is. Keep up the great work.....

I got a notification at 4 in the morning about this update and it was worth waking up to

This cover makes the song more poetic, it’s great!

Honestly at first I thought I didn't like it, but then I thought about Kurt, Nirvana, and all they went through. This is almost like an homage to their struggle, their pain. No one can compare nor try to be exactly what Nirvana is. I applaud and appreciate this version.

It's 2020, I'm under quarantine due to COVID-19, and I'm digging for good music. This cover is awesome! I really dig his vocals, but the first thing I noticed was the tone of that jazz bass. 👌🖤 Nicely done, three years later.

Can't believe I've never heard this before, in the 10 years I've been listening to Like a Version. This has to be, a literate ideal of Like a Version, this is not just a cover, it is an orginal interpretation, truly awesome.

Three years later I find this in 2020 and Ive listened to non stop! The whole piece is their own with the 🎷 stealing the show!!!

No surprise in the comment section, people still not understanding what a cover is. I could bet these same people didn't even grow up listening to Nirvana but instead just heard about them when they were 16 because it was cool.

This is so lovely! Like, I hear this and go like, fuck, Cobain wrote this heart wrenching ballad but we were too busy focusing on the guitar licks the whole time. It's vocal driven fucking love this shit.

Next level awesome. How did I miss this!?!?

This is the sweetest thing that could possibly excite human eardrums

this is what a cover is supposed to be. Anyone can play an 'almost' good enough copy... bring something different to it. I dont like it, but thats beside the point.

So awesome! Loved It.

I love this version! so refreshing 🎷🎹🎶🎵🎼💖

So smooth. And still doing justice to the melancholy of the song. Love what you guys did with this

As a big Nirvana fan, this was beautiful. The sax!!!

Ooooh wow.. What an awesome, beautiful version!! I listen to this so often; I can never get enough of it, it's intoxicating. Big Scary are LEGENDS!

As a 90's Nirvana kid, this is a beautiful cover. well done !!

Beautiful cover, with a song holding such a strong reputation - a unique version such as this brings life into a classic. Love it.

Goosebumps love it!

cover songs are not meant to sound like the original. I admire their indie pop take on an iconic grunge song.

It goes deep into my soul and warms up my heart ❤️

Beautifully channelled Nirvana and the true spirit of this tune to not only own it but make it something more. Straight into my 2017 Top 100!

This was really good. Haunting in a modern way

I love this mellow vibe. Love it!

Good Cover. Gotta give props for them doing a cover of a great 90s Alternative Band. Kurt would have smiled

Beautiful cover. Kurt would love every second. If anything he'd be incredulous that anyone created something so beautiful out of something he had written.

I love the original but WOW as others have mentioned already, this is what doing a cover is all about. It's very daring and clever with its haunting tones. I get sort of Love Will Tear Us Apart vibes when I listen to this. Amazing cover honestly!

THE EPITOME OF LIKE A VERSION. SOLID.

I was hypnotized by this cover. That sax....yum!!!!

one of the best bands covering one of the best songs!! hell yee!

Amazing version!!! Kurt would be proud.

wicked rendition. just awesome! Cheers from PEI Canada, Bryan

Came back to this and still liked it a lot

Those two moments when Tom gasped were amazing. Fitted so beautifully with the song.

Wow amazing , was not prepared for how good this was.

Oh my.... directly on my favourites list... Thanks guys, thanks a lot.

This version reminds me of the film Heat for some reason. Always nice to see bands do a totally different take on a song without losing the key hooks. Good stuff.

Love this one go guys

Wow... That was totally awesome.. That sax kills it.. So awesome..

This is one of the best covers I've heard. Fantastic. And the fact that it has a different haunt to it altogether is just insane. I have good reason to believe Kurt Cobain would have loved this.

Oh yes. This is an amazing tribute. Love it! ❤️

Killed it guys. Amazing.

Good cover. Haunting.

i really love this

Great finesse on the sax. Hits all the spots. Doesnt step on anyone's toes.

really really nice cover in a completely new style...! keep on (i want more ;) )!!

This cover is a gold standard as far as covers go. Well done. Killed it. Did Nirvana proud.

When that sax hits 🔥

Really loved it. Unlike some of the others I loved the synth and particularly the sax solo. Did a great song justice, great work guys.

A unique and captivating interpretation. There's enough of the original elements there to recognise the song but beautifully redone. Love this.

That was AMAZING!

this captures the feeling of the 90's as a broody teenager 💜 Kurt captured our hearts its a beautiful cover

WOW! THAT WAS AMAZING!!! BRAVO👏👏👏

This is so good🎉❤

Hauntingly great!

So graceful xxx

What lovely voices.

Love this very original take on this song. Superb.

This is amazing, genius, the band really put some effort into it. Nice.

I really liked this take on a true classic!

As one of the songs which had a massive profound influence on my Life and many others this cover is not only super brave but re-inventing it and doing it justice is amazing 🙏

This is really beautiful and sad. Thank you Big Scary what an amazing job.

This is one hell of a good interpretation of that song. I've heard some covers where people butcher it by changing the song way too much, this really did the song some unique justice without taking the soul out of it. I'm really impressed by this.

Fantastic cover this one. You can really feel the passion with the musicians and it respects the original.

This is so fucking gold, combing the favorite instruments and synth into a band ive always loved both ways. Mein gods

Always goosebumps at intro

it is a great and original cover!

Beautiful.

I love it

Hear it for the First time. Its So amazing. Thanks guys

Love it
