Kurt went pretty heavy in the early years, I also love swap meet, awesome song, awesome riff

@s0n4r56 Месяц назад

I feel like swap meet doesn’t get talked about enough, the studio version is so damn heavy I can’t get over it

@andrewpappas9311 Месяц назад

Kurt definitely wrote some absolute headbanging riffs, man, some of which I still say he doesn't get enough credit for because those sound just awesome. I'm also not sure if it's gonna be included in Part 2 (although it could be) but I'll always love the breakdown in Drain You, which sounds so damn cool, definitely looking forward to Part 2 when it happens (Also as a side note I can remember writing a guitar riff a few years ago that sounded a lot like Big Long Now (never heard of the song at the time) but now I realize I think I might've just ripped off a Nirvana song I've never heard of lol)

I always felt that Swap Meet's intro riff was the heaviest Nirvana riff out there from the studio albums. In my opinion Swap Meet played live didn't sound as heavy compared to the studio version. There is just something about the studio version that makes it so good.

Awesome recreation of some of the heaviest riffs of all time. My only criticism is maybe kick that reverb down to zero. I know you have talked about that in your videos in the past. Yeah it does give your recordings some production value but it makes the riffs sound slightly off from the recordings

For endless nameless, you need the chorus on for the entire song, not just the verse. Trust me bro makes an epic difference. Kurt did it that way as well Also, when Negative Creep came in, I see why you like the Epiphone a lot
