This song is not as good as the previous 4. The solo at the end surrounds you and takes you through an emotional trip that gives you goosebumps every time. The chorus is the chorus has some staple emotion found throughout the album. The lyrics that follow are dark and filled with the wisdom of a life well lived by Kurt. The first classic to be found on Unplugged, The Man Who Sold The World is a David Bowie song with a hissing guitar and some excellent basswork.
Nothing musically special, but a solid song throughout. The second verse begins with some more off key singing, but it recovers nicely. Like Kurt apologizing for not being the rock god the fans made him. Krist gets on the accordian here and Kurt laments on love and religion. This is one of the many covers that are littered throughout the album. This is originally a Vasolines' tune, Kurt explains at the beginning.
The quality of the songs begins to go up after this one, as you become immensed in the concert atmosphere and feel the awe and respect rise. I never liked either version of this song, and this is not going to be a highlight. The solo has no umph behind it, and is painfully acoustic. However when he goes after those high notes, you feel much more tolerant of the song. However Kurt sings his words completely off key, which is a deterrant from the song. Not a highlight of the album, but a solid song.īy far the most known song on Unplugged, Come As You Are begins with that famous bass line and some thunderous applause. The vocals from Kurt are raw, and that makes this song better than it would have been. The solo however is scratchy and uninspired without the distortion. The emotion that only a live performance can give gives this song some power that is lost in the Bleach version. Soft drumming by Dave leaves Kurt's classic voice all alone in this Beatles-esque tune. However, this statement is proved quite false by the fans who explode into applause as soon as they recognize that up and down guitar riff. Kurt prefaces this song by saying that most people don't know this song. All these factors combined made Nirvana's MTV Unplugged the best Unplugged ever, and the Nirvana album that would come to define there careers. This status was heightened even further with Cobain's death only a few months later. It gets rid of all the noise and leaves it with pure unadulterated emotion thta propelled Kurt Cobain into a god like status. Unplugged is all about the enigma that is Kurt Cobain. Regarded by many as Nirvana's finest album, Unplugged takes the notion that Nirvana can only play fast hard rock and destroys it with an iron fist. So what did they do? They made an MTV Unplugged. They were a big rock band, with godlike status, they had the most compelling frontman of the early nineties, and they ruled alt rock. As an extra bonus to the DVD, a 14-minute interview segment called Bare Witness produced by MTV focuses on the recollections of those who experienced this magical moment in music history, those who produced it and interviews with the band from the day of the taping.Nirvana had so many things going fo them.
