NIRVANA - LITHIUM REACTION 

"Ooo Kurt is so sexy" *One line later* Kurt: "I'm so ugly" 😂😂 ahhh the timing

Kurt really did hate the way he looked. And that's just sort of chilling proof that it really doesn't matter how incredibly beautiful you are to others if you can't accept yourself. Rest easy, sweet soul.

I love the rawness with their live performances. The cracking in his voice & how it isn’t perfect... makes it PERFECT.

Kurt was a very troubled soul, and honestly did feel that way about himself. He had bipolar disorder (manic depression), and this is basically his song about it - lithium is used to treat the disorder. Another one who checked out before his time. The nearest you'll get to see Nirvana now is Foo Fighters, who are excellent in their own right.

You are like me when I watch Kurt. He was a beautiful man. I am mesmerized when I watch him.

R.I.P. KURT COBAIN

I'm glad I was around to witness the Nirvana mania.

I’m 19 years old and I’m sad I won’t be able to see a nirvana concert I love rock & indie music

RIP Kurt. Nobody delivered raw vocals like Kurt.

Lithium used to be the go to drug for bipolar disorder, or manic depression as it used to be called. So the mental break/contradictionary statements in the song have always reflected that to me.

*So. Much. Nostalgia.* All my *GenX* teen angst years right here. If I could go back in time & see only one band, would *without a doubt be Nirvana.*

Yeah, his voice crack-up sound is unique. I love it.

MORE NIRVANA!!!

My favorite Nirvana song. Isn’t it wild to see David Grohl (now Foo Fighters) doing the drums? He looks so young. I guess because he was. His band is insanely more popular. Foo Fighters have been around now for over 30 years, and still super relevant.

Kurt died when I was 11, and it broke my heart because they were my favorite band at the time. But the wonderful thing that came out of that tragedy is that drummer Dave Grohl went on to form the Foo Fighters, and their shows are legendary too. And when this pandemic is over, if they come to L.A., go see them live. They will blow your mind. :)

I was a huge Nirvana fan back in the day. Kurt influenced my own music for a long time.

So so grateful I got to see them live 6 times including their famous 1992 Reading Festival performance. They were just so mental live. I remember being on stage with them very briefly before stage diving when they played in Bristol, England too. And I always thought I was jealous of my Mum and her generation growing up with the Beatles and the Stones, but now I get to enjoy my kids reactions to who I got to go see live. Thankfully they love music too and they’ve come with me to some awesome concerts too. But hey get yourself to new artists. There are so many great new artists that could do with your support too and they just might be the next Nirvana. If you want great live bands, Foals and the OSees are currently fantastic bands to go see.

“Im so ugly that’s ok cus so are u “ 👌🏻😂 What a tune Nirvana rule!!!

Im 44 and missed nirvana live i miss kurt all the time i imagine him now being alive and just doing lo fi folk, blues stuff. I read about his death in the paper on my paper route and man i had to stop!

Nirvana was my favourite band as a teen in the 90s, I lived for them and had one wall of my bedroom dedicated to posters of kurt lol! I haven't listened to this song in a while, but hearing it now brings me right back to that time in a way that sends goosebumps down my arm. It's interesting that you say the song feels like it's about someone breaking down but trying to keep it together, because that's what I felt for the majority of my teen years, Nirvana helped with that, it was an outlet for all the rage, pain and angst listening to those songs. Love you and your reactions by the way! xo

Great reaction, thank you!

"It sounds like someone having a breakdown." Right on point. "Lithium" is a drug people take for manic depression.

Kurt Cobain was the voice of our generation (X). He was uncomfortable with the burden. He said so brilliantly how invisible and lost we were. His death was a loss on so many levels. It exemplifies the struggles we dealt with in that time. Drugs, lack of parental caring, Aids, the threat of nuclear annihilation. We were angry and Nirvana came along and was the fuse that changed music. I miss his voice and always wonder what he would have become if he had lived.

You should check out their 1991 Paramount concert on here if you haven’t seen it yet! It’s shot on 16mm film so it’s in glorious HD 😭 Whole thing is up on youtube :’)

The sheer relief when this music broke big still echoes in my mind. Up until then it felt you had to be happy and successful, no matter what. Kurt found a way to express the other side of it that made you throw yourself around the room. I suppose it's not for nothing that he identified their music as essentially 'The Beatles playing Black Sabbath'. And then, just when you thought he could capitalize on it, he went away...

React to Hole - Violet. You gonna love it. It's from Courtney Love (one of the most iconic girls in Rock n Roll! and also quite crazy one😂) lead singer and also know as Kurt Cobain's wife (leader of Nirvana).

Another Nirvana reaction, nice!

i'm 52 years old. i was in my early 20's when Nirvana got big. Huge in fact. I was newly married and money was tight so couldnt afford to see them in concert (but no regrets as myself and my wife come up to our 31st anniversary). I love all kinds of music from classical to rap. But this is, for me, THE most powerful song ever recorded. It fires me up, makes me think, makes me feel alive!! The only way i can come close to describing it is it's like a tuning fork for my soul and makes it resonate in unison.

Great video and reaction!

Yes he was a beautiful man....awww the memories. RIP

Nirvana is rock and roll.

Hello and Happy New Year! I'm new here, but I love your reactions! The word yeah never sounded so good (except maybe during "She Loves You" by The Beatles)! I'm a huge fan of Nirvana. This takes me back to when I was in high school and these guys were the big rock band of the day. I remember watching this concert on MTV's Live & Loud on New Year's Eve 1993 just before midnight turned into '94...it was so exciting and exhilarating! To me, the best songs in history are the ones that stick to your memory instantly and leave an opening for interpretation, so you can get your own meaning from it!

"All Apologies" MTV Unplugged, Jay you will love it.

I had tickets to see them 2 weeks after he died....I love Kurt!

Seattle gave us Starbucks......... and; two ill-fated left-handed guitar-playing giants..... Hendrix and Cobain

There were almost three Foo Fighters on that stage. Krist seriously considered joining Dave's "solo" project after Nirvana. As it is, it's only Dave and Pat that are Foo Fighters but the three have all played together since this. Interestingly, on the odd occasion that Dave plays a Nirvana song since the sad passing of Kurt he will only do it if Krist and Pat are both playing with him and he will NEVER sing himself, it's only ever a guest vocalist. RIP Kurt, you beautiful soul.

When he said "I'm so ugly" He´s talking about the way he feels, not the way he looks.

Dave was so skinny. I just want to feed him Mac and cheese and baked chicken. Pat looked so young🎸🎸🎸

Oh no...this is from the Live and Loud concert for New Years Eve... you need to buy this DVD and this has to be on a LARGE screen and LOUD love. Or buy "Live Tonight Sold Out" if you want to experience more of the band.

I was fortunate enough that my sister took me to see Nirvana when I was a freshman in hs and they were as amazing as you think live. The energy in that place was phenomenal. 26 years later and I can still remember exactly how that feels. When the world starts up again, I hope you do go to a concert. Amazing experiences.

Nirvana is amazing! One of my favorite songs from Nirvana. Love this version! You should check out the Japanese band name Scandal. I can give you some suggestions and links for Scandal songs. I hope you do a react video for Scandal songs soon. Also you should check out Band-maid and Lovebites too!

Al Yankovic said that one of the greatest complements he ever got, was in Kurt's posthumously-published personal journals, where he wrote: That's how we knew we'd actually *Made It* ...when Weird Al wanted to parody one of our songs. --(paraphrasing)

Sadly he really did think he was ugly. Krist Novesellic (bass player) said Kurt almost never looked at the pictures taken of him because he thought he was ugly. But I agree he was gorgeous.

Those were the days!!

There will never be anybody like him...ever.

Again somebody who left the building to early

His voice was going to crack, at the way he was singing and stretching his vocal muscles beyond the natural limit

YAYYY ANOTHER NIRVANA REACTION !! THANK YOU SO MUCH

I used to play that all the time on my bass. RIP Kurt Cobain.

The worst thing to happen to Kurt was they got big and famous. His mentality was that he wanted people to like him for his music, and not to treat him like a rock star God.

Legend kurt cobain!!

He really was, wasn't he.

This one of the bands who ushered in the 90s.

Yes Lithium is used for bipolar disorder. Def talking about mental illness

Man I miss the 90s

NIRVANA THE BEST

tbh you got your interpretation pretty spot on to what the song is about. The song is basically addressing Kurt's bipolar disorder, he used a range of contradictory sentences to elaborate this. The song is called "Lithium" as Kurt was prescribed Lithium tablets as a way of dealing with bipolar

❤️🎸NIRVANA🎸❤️

Only attended one Nirvana concert...after that, there were no more.

Hi Jayy, oh my grunge lives on, great choice, love your channel 🌹🌺

Love this sound back in the day. Foo fighters keep it real for me

Great reaction! PLEASE react to Terrance Trent Darby! Brotha has an amazing voice like a young James Brown! His big hits were Wishing Well and Sign Your Name! You will love his voice I promise you!!!

the first time i can clearly hear krist's genius

Let's point out Pat Smear here (the second guitarist with the red pants) Pat came into the public view thanks to the LA Punk band the Germs, who released an album which became an underground classic but never really got anywhere. The Band ended when lead singer Darby Crash took his own life. Pat had been down on his luck, working at a record store on LA and basically having no pot to piss in. Until one day Kurt Cobain walked into that said store and went "Hey wait a minute, aren't you Pat Smear from the Germs?" They struck a conversation and Kurt basically told him "If you need a job, I can give you one, join my band!" So Pat, having no cash, pawned his guitars to buy a plane ticket to fly to Seattle, Kurt Picked him up and pushed two things into his hands: a credit card and a guitar. Bass player Krist Novoselic and Drummer Dave Grohl took to Pat straight away as he brought back the fun of being in the band. Look up the interviews from that time period, everybody was always laughing, including Kurt. And after the Band ended, Pat joined the Foo Fighters and stayed there. The story of Pat Smear shows a side of Kurt Cobain, nobody mentions: he would help people out when they needed it.

You are great happy to see you 😊 I would like you to do love hate love alice in chains

There will never be another kurt cobain. Heaven gained a rockin angel. RIP

You're playing the sound track to my child hood.

He was the best. I don't think he killed himself.

You know I would be first to comment on this!!! I love you my dear friend!! ❤️

I loveee kurtttt ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

If I were you and have never been to a Concert , I would buy at least a 55" TV With HDMI , and a Sound Bar ,and watch Whole Concerts from You Tube ! Start with ELVIS ,ALOHA from HAWAII , then LED ZEPPELIN ,and so on !!!!! You will feel like you are there ! Don't leave out Woodstock Festival ! All live shows !!!

Girl you resonate with real folk

Did you know drummer, is bandleader of Foo Fighters? Nine albums with FF so far. Now plays guitar and lead singer. He has this cute playful RU-vid relationship with Nandi Bushell, a 10 year old drummer. Must watch Youtubing, seriously! Just do youtube search for Nandi.

Roses are red flowers are blue Nirvana is my glue

You gotta react to About a Girl.. one of Kurts Best

Excellent take

INDIA and THE JAY SHOW loves the white rockers. You know what they say....Once you go white, damn girl, you allll right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely mindblowing 😍😥

Ouuu glad to see a new nirvana 🤣still 🤘🏽

Only great reaction. Nothing more but nothing less.

Once The Pandemic Ends , I would love to treat you to a concert ! I have probably been to Couple hundred of them ! That is the best !

Would you mind doing the song "Portland" by the Replacements? Or even by Middle Brother as they did an amazing cover of it? Thank you!

Anything from Nirvanas Bleach album (Floyd the Barber, Paper Cuts, Negative Creep, etc)

SOUTH PARK MEXICAN (real gangster) great story telling (WHEN DEVIL STRIKES)is his story and doing 45 years in prison and possibly getting parole in 2024

*Tomnedreb* channel on YT( (not certain that he ran across a Nirvana tune that he chose not to cover) ) ~ armed with a variety of six strings essentially humbly displaying proper Cobain strumming(without any vocals 0R face) ~ thanks for the calmed openminded ease ~ !c heer s

Have a blessed day it's cold in tx

Pat Smear. The unofficial member of Nirvana.

Has anyone suggested Rush. If not I would like to. Songs I believe you would like, Limelight, Spirit of the Radio, Xanadu and Time Stand Still. Thanks for sharing ✌️😊

LITHIUM is a drug given to people who are Bipolar, which is a form of mental breakdown. Good guess! Love you reactions.

Please do more Nirvana!

you were spot on with your resume! cheers girl

Cobain had a great voice. Check out Skid Row! Sebastian Bach was quite the hottie back in the day. Eighteen and Life and I Remember You.No comparison to Nirvana tho...!

The performance is great but it sounds much better on the album version

RIP KURT

I never really thought about it but it does suck your generation will never be able to see them live.I've always just thought wow I'll never see them again but I did see them 9 times and that wasn't enough.

Great reaction and awesome reflection💯 I'd love for you to react to Mr. Jukes: Grant Green ft Charles Bradley. The official video has the best version of the song... You will not be disappointed. You'll feel it through your soul. 🙏

Everytime I watch WandaVision it reminds me of this song. Lady's going through some shit.

Congrats 🍾🎉🎊🎈 on50 subscribers

FOR ME...the foreshadowing here is so saddening- RIP Kurt Cobain ❤️🙌🏻

Girl, you are ready now: Do „Rage against the machine“, first „Bulls on parade“. Rock meets Rap meets Funk, always a strong message. It‘s unique and you will like it. DO IT. Thank you :)
