Nirvana - Spank Thru (Live at Reading 1992) 

Cobain could literally do anything he wanted with a guitar and it would fit the song.

This song is so fucking underrated

I hope the old school Nirvana fans agree with me when I say that this is absolutely the best version of this song.

0:16 "Tables and chairs would look good in my garden."

I love how this song starts off like some typical Aerosmith dinosaur rock love song with the whole "baby baby" stuff and then Kurt screams and it just totally goes into Nirvana territory without missing a beat or sounding out of place with the first half. Kurt was a genius, especially considering this song is as old as the band itself.

man, if I had kurt's face I would be 100 percent confident.

Dear cameraman,he isn't saying Dave Grohl

1:29 -Kurt: I've been looking for Dave Grohl(8) 1:32 -Camera man: Here is Dave! -Dave: Hi Kurt! 1:37: -Kurt: Do you wanna meet Dave Grohl(8) 1:39: Dave: lol Stop

I think a lot of people miss this but this song being performed live here is a very special thing, because Spank thru was there since the very beginning and sort of caused everything as well. Songs like Teen Spirit, Blew and Lithium were made when the band was already sort of popular in some sort of way on top of being under the name Nirvana. However with Spank Thru, this was one of Kurt’s first ever songs he wrote that was on his fecal Matter album, which led Krist joining the band the begin with, which then led to Nirvanas official formation and so and so forth. My point is from Kurt playing this song to Krist in his room to get him to join his band to playing it live in front of a hundred thousand people just 7 years later must have been an emotional thing for Kurt and Krist. It’s like “wow man.... we actually made it”

He had a voice like no other.

when someone does something so fucking stupid that you just watch and question their existence 0:16

One of the most perfect Nirvana songs. The slow starting, the brutality of the chorus, and great lyrics. In their top 10, for sure.

whos here 2024?

The song that made Krist decide to team up with Kurt and start a band back in 85. A great piece of rock history, and it all started with masturbation :D

Me:mom i have stomach pain! Mom:that is because you're always on that damn phone!!! Me: 0:15

There's blood in dancin Tonys cocaine

Lyrics:i've been lookin for Dave Grohl,always hearin the same ol.do you wanna meet Dave Grohl! I can make it do things you didn't think it ever could!!!!'

0:15 That moment when you realize people only knew you mainly for Smells Like Teen Spirit.

1:28 I've been looking for Dave Grohl!!! - Kurt Cobain 1:31 He's right here! - Camera Man 1:37 Do you wanna meet Dave Grohl! - Kurt Cobain 1:39 He's right here you fucking idiot!!!! - Camera Man

I'm going to be singing to myself "I've been looking for Dave grohl" next week at work

Nirvana always had the coolest, random, go go dancing people during various performances.

2:27 It almost looks like he's about to fling the guitar at someone.

0:16 when you realized this is the song that started nirvana when you where a teenager and look out at the crowd watching years later and think back to the last couple years of high school again to realize how far you’ve come

live at reading sounds like an album, one of the best gigs ever

is it just me or is today's music complete shit compared to this

No one else these days has the same type of energy Nirvana did, glad I grew up to them in the 90s.

Kurt spent hours upon hours playing his guitar and writing songs as a youth, dreaming of one day being in a band and headlining a major music festival to a massive audience. I’m glad his dreams came true. RIP Kurt x

Dude, they were even better live...

his eyes are looking diffeerent directions at 0:17

Are you feeling it now Mr krabs?

Spank thru..... the best of live at reading

They were fucking brilliant..i still love them as much now as I did back then

This song is for the lovers out there And all the lights on the trees All the flowers have gingivitis And the birds fly happily We're together once again my love I need you back, oh baby baby I can't explain just why we lost it from the start Living without you girl, you only break my heart ... Yeah! I can feel it, I can hold it, I can pin it, shape it, mold it, I can cut it, I can taste it, spank it Beat it while you ... Ah, wait here I've been looking for days now Always hearing the same ol' City boy won't you spank thru? I can make you do things you won't think you ever could I can feel it, I can hold it, pin it, shape it, mold it, We can cut it, We can taste it, spank it Beat it 'till you ... Ah, wait here I've been looking for days now Always hearing the same ol' City boy won't you spank thru? I can make you do things you won't think you ever could I've been looking for days now Always hearing the same ol' City boy won't you spank thru? I can make you do things you won't think you ever could You won't think you ever could

One Of my favourite Nirvana songs

kurt cobain makes the best guitar solos

took me a minute to realize the guy w/ long hair was Novoselic lol

0:16 “I think I forgot to give grandma her birthday present”

If I could go back in time I would be at a Nirvana concert. 🎸😎🤟⭐

I like how they let that random guy just go with the flow on stage almost the entire set.

he was really cute omg

He could do anything to a guitar and it worked

i would kill for a time machine tbh

I saw an interview with Paul McCartney, he was asked if he hadnt been in the Beatles, what band would he have liked to be in, straight away he said Nirvana. Nuff said.

0:16 "Shit, I forgot to flush the toilet"

I remember when I was 15, RU-vid didnt exist and I dreamed about watching stuff like this. It was magical.

"Do you want potatoeeeeeeeees......."

1:28 I've been looking for Dave Grohl!!! - Kurt Cobain 1:31 He's right here! - Camera Man 1:37 Do you wanna meet Dave Grohl! - Kurt Cobain 1:39 He's right here you fucking idiot!!!! - Camera Man (Not my comment, just recycled because its far down and from 2 years ago)

1:04

0:16 "I bet that carpet would look great in the living room:

I love how Cobain's solos are sometimes just randomly noodling around the frets but somehow it still sounds great.

Kurt Cobain didn't understand why he was so popular. he was shy and insecure, even though he was really talented and creative and good looking. he said he wanted to be famous. he worked hard to get there. when he finally realized just how famous he was, that he was never able to be comfortable with it. then he had his drug problem, depression and painful stomach problems on top of overwhelming fame. a lot of people probably don't understand how someone can reach the level of success and fame that he reached and just throw it all away like that, but then a lot of people don't understand that being famous doesn't mean your life is perfect or that you don't have other serious mental health problems going on. Nirvana were so cool. and Kurt Cobain was a great singer

live without you girl, you only break my... heart. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH

2:27 The best rock n' roll Solo ever

officially the first track of them

If Kurt had to see what was going on in 2020: 0:16

“When I first heard Elvis' voice, I just knew that I wasn’t going to work for anybody; and nobody was going to be my boss...Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail.” -Bob Dylan Precisely the way I felt in 1991

Probably Kurt’s best scream, and worst guitar solo

The best performance of this show!!! love it

0:15 "Oh when i was a cowboy"

1:28 Kurt: I've been looking for Dave Grohl ! 1:31 Camera Man: He's right here ! 1:37 Kurt: Do you wanna meet Dave Grohl ! 1:39 Camera Man: He's right here you fucking idiot !

R.I.P. KURT DONALD COBAIN! ((Aberdeen, 20 febbraio 1967 - Seattle, 5 aprile 1994))

Damn this guy could write.

1:04 shit gets real

As shitty as he may have felt about himself-in my eyes he'll always be amazingly brilliant and talented-an absolutely gorgeous, authentic rock God-I'll forever worship at his altar. 🙏🏻 RIP-the most beautifully angry angel-Kurt Donald Cobain ❤️♾️🤘🏻

Kurt dominava os solos com toda sua técnica....

This absolut better than smell like teen spirts

Meu som favorito dessa banda deliciosa. Uma pena de quem ouviu Nirvana e não entendeu nada.

Kurt Cobain solos >>>

0:35 That can't be Krist Novoselic. 😂 If it were him, that must have been the worst plastic surgery ever.

every time i hear this song i find it amazing that this song, was one of the first songs kurt ever wrote, back in 1985 or so. this is one hell of a good song first song.

He always had a way of phrasing words so that you couldn't understand what he was saying unless you had the lyrics, at least in the earlier songs. Floyd the Barber and this song are great examples.

1:40 Drums

When I was young I thought the first line of the chorus was " I've been looking for Dave Grohl" .

Still one of my favourite Nirvana tunes

0:16 makes me sad...

0:17 "why did smells like teen spirit have to be our biggest hit".

1:29 "I been looking for Dave Grohl"

he always looked so ashamed about something :/

This has The Doors feel to it

Best version of this song. Hands down.

Nirvana é foda de mais

0:17 ed sheeran is it you

"I've been lookin' for Daaaaaave Grohl..."

I've been looking for day glow (Dave grohl) always hearing the same old (Chad Channing) city boy won't u spank thru, I can make it do things u wouldn't think it ever could (Kurt)

One of my favourite Nirvana songs

Uma das minhas favoritas ❤ tank you kurt❤❤

This song is for lovers out there And the little light in the trees And all the flowers have gingivitis And the birds fly happily We're together once again my love I need you back oh baby baby I can't explain just why we lost it from the start Living without you girl you'll only break my heart... I can feel it I can hold it I can rub it I can shape it I can mold it I can cut it I can taste it I can spank it Beat it Masturbate it I been looking for days now Always hearing the same ol' city boy Won't you spank through? I can make you do things you won't think you ever could Songwriters: Kurt Cobain

Underrated great song Live at reading 92 Kicked ass

Kurt still smells like teen spirit. 🎸😎⭐

How does a human being learn to play drums like that in such a short space of time from birth to this gig?

0:16 Kurt recordandoce como se volvía loco con esta canción en 1989

A MELHOR BANDA !!!!!!!!

0:16 "Did I forgot to turn off the gas?"

essa musica pra mim é uma das melhores do nirvana

Underrated track

I love "The Muddy Banks of Wishkah Sounds." Can you change Nirvana Sound to The Muddy Banks of Wishkah Sounds?" I love his guitar! Heart Shaped Box (The Muddy Banks of Wishkah) Perfect!!

2020 and I've yet to find a musician and band that I love more and moves me like this. Love Kurt and this band.

I love this song. One of my favourites.

Моя любимая песня у Кобейна

Kurt at 0:16 is so handsome, those eyes omg i can't even
