Kurt Cobain Vocal Analysis - Heart Shaped Box - Isolated Vocals - Singing & Production Tips 

👍 Agreed!!!

He was just unique.

never heard anyone saying that

@@GiuseppeM Seriously?

Whoever says that has an absolute delusional state of mind situation, that man was extremely gifted.

I disagree. Grunge sucked except for Nirvana and a little bit of Stone Temple Pilots. Pearl Jam sucked the most. I couldn't stand that guy's voice. Luckily there was so much other good music going on at that time, plus all of the amazing stuff from the 80s to still listen to or catch up on if you missed it. Billy Corgan summed it up right in the midst of it all: "Who wants honey? As long as there's some money." Just a bunch of flannel-clad no-talent losers riding the Seattle/grunge bandwagon. Dull singing, dull music, for bored white suburbanites.

It was the heroin

@@alukuhito @alukuhito mate some of the 90s most outspoken and talented vocalists came out of Seattle, Mark Lanegan, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, honestly I can't stand PJ after TEN but you can't discount an entire foundation-shakingly important music scene as "shitty and untalented" because you don't get it or aren't a fan, like I don't enjoy Jazz but I can tip my hat to Louis Armstrong because the guy is a legend, might not be my favourite but he was famous for a reason. Also are you really calling the Seattle bands sellouts? Do you know a single thing about them? (Besides pearl jam those guys wanted to be famous from the getgo) Soundgarden always stood by the fact that they were in it for the music, Mudhoney and the Melvins were vehemently against corporatization of their music, hell nirvana wasn't even really given a choice in the matter after their album blew the fuck up. Most grunge bands had been active, putting out music and touring since long before the big grunge explosion. Soundgarden (1984) Melvins (1980) Green River (1984) Alice in Chains (1987) Nirvana (1987) Screaming Trees (1985) Skin Yard (1985) Honestly if anyone was riding the profit-wagon it was STP and Smashing Pumpkins, who made BANK off the grunge boom. Not to discredit their music, STP slaps and I can get behind some of Smashing Pumpkins work, Billy Corgan is an Egotistical prick though.

@@mattthatch8662 I probably chose the wrong video to make anti-grunge comments on. Have a nice day.

@@alukuhito your definitely did, and I can probably agree with Matt on Billy, he was one of the factors that made the band fall apart, he’s a good musician, songwriter, and guitarist but as a person?.....eh not really

not sedated... it´s Kurt´s life that is in his voice, u can´t copy that

@@newrockorder I would argue it is literally sedation due to heroin use.

@Bach Nobel How is there autotune? He's clearly off key on several notes throughout the recording.

3:45

Yep. You cant fake that. That is a talent.

He actually practiced yodeling, and you can hear how after he figured it out he weaved it into his performances. To me, it gave off this vibe of teenage angst like he was 10 years younger and his voice was cracking.

hey im sorry for replying two years later but he has a whole song named "The yodel song"

You just named off a bunch of trash people

Wait like the Weezer song?

Agreed man, definitely my favourite of their albums

Well, even then it wouldn’t have done so well if it came out before Nevermind

My favourite album, even all the aesthetic surrounding it, the concert scenarios, album cover, lyrics, it matches the sound perfectly

It was the first cassette I ever owned. Still my favorite Nirvana album.

@Chess Piece in comparison to “never mind” I meant

GOOD :)

Nirvana inspired my lazy sound. Love it!

Simple

You're not alone.

You have snap?

It's been replicated there are many singers who could do it. Jeff Buckley, Freddie Mercury, Michael Stipe...

@@KinseliplierJARED LETO?? THE ACTOR?? Or is this a different man with different spelling

Drain you, live version from Live & Loud :)

♓ pisces..

@@isabels2973 Pisces here. Can confirm.

@@Iamverybald I’m also a Pisces. I think the talent bus missed me 🫠

NICE. thanks for this!

I thought I was the only one that did that

​@chrisc7265 yeah kurt did it was a rhythm feel when he was doing his vocals. My friend squeezes ones of those stress balls to the beat when tracking vocals haha. So whatever helps I guess

@@chrisliepe ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MjI9IzPLvvw.html

This is my favorite of Krist's bass lines. It's so gnarly. The next best is in the chorus of I Hate Myself I Wanna Die especially the demo version. He always had this groove that was incredibly necessary for the band to work.

I agree!

You're so welcome!

Happy to hear that!

Thank you for watching and subbing!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@chrisliepe 🙂 It looks like you enjoyed it too 🙂

ha cool!

Also, Bjork and lennon!

Yes, having counterpoint in the harmony can make a song really pop. Simon and Garfunkel were the masters at this.

NICE

Yes!!

Kurt was a great vocal and guitar player at your own way. When you listen your voice even on the parts that sound more sad. The voice its clear and on good tune. On that time be a vocalist its was really need it be so tune. Now the people use many autotone and that break a litlle the beautyful of the inperfection.

Thanks for the sub!

Thanks for the sub!

Have you seen this one? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jl5iLSEyUlc.html

@@chrisliepe omg I’m going to watch it right now! Thank you!!

Scott Litt remixed this song though..kurt said in an interview that steve wasn't great at mixing

Grunge is a place in time, not a genre

I think pushing your voice now and then maybe a little too far is fine in the studio.

Thanks for the sub!

Great suggestion!
