Nirvana - YKYR on MTV2

Dun

Just after seeing Nirvana's You Know You're Right on MTV2 marked as exclusive. The video was a 'montage' of clips, 99.999% of Kurt. Dunno whether or not this is an 'official' video or just put together by MTV2.

According to the MTV website, MTV (America) was supposed to be showing this from last Friday though..

Still, it's pretty cool, and from what I see it actually seems like it does show a clip of him singing YKYR at the start and end, but can't be certain til I see it again.

Dun

One hour later and it's on again. I guess they might be going to show it at the start of every hour. On second viewing, they just cleverly aligned clips of him singing so it did look like it was "You Know You're Right" that he was singing, now and again.

It's the exact same version as the mp3 floating around, by the way.

The song is totally weak.
And you think the video is 'clever'? All they've done is spliced some shots of Kurt Cobain holding a note over and over! hahah!

Why can't they just leave the memory of Kurt and Nirvana alone.

That's your opinion of the song. Right, okay. Mine is obviously different.

But I didn't say the video was clever. And I know it was spliced over - I already say so.

As regards leaving Kurt and Nirvana alone, let's all bring our Nirvana cds, videos, whatever and burn them all. That's the only way that they can be left alone. FFS, think of Elvis Presley, John Lennon/The Beatles and then imply that a fuss is made of Nirvana :rolleyes:

the song rocks, the video rocks...and yes it is an offical one, not something mtv whacked together.

its a mixture of still frames and live shows, mostly stuff already seen on LTSO and the year punk broke, but with a few unseen things thrown in for good measure.

i think its a great homage to kurt, to seen a song thats over 8 years old, currently sitting at #2 on the Billboard Modern Rock Chart in the States and bein named as record of the week on loads of radio stations all around the globe

and yes, i do think the video is clever...the start with the close ups of kurt while the first verse plays is ****in excellent imo

its about ****in time as well

Mossy Monk

agreed with pyure. i really love the song and think the video is great. now to get someone to d/l the video for me

i knew that already, and now for my bonus point hehe

nirvana played with sonic youth and dinosaur jr.

it was 20/8/91 i think...hang on lemme dig out my 'put the money down' cd for a tracklist :

drain you
smells like teen spirit
floyd the barber
sliver
breed
about a girl
school
lounge act
negative creep
been a son
blew
endless nameless (set destruction if i recall correctly)

this show kicked off nirvanas european tour with sonic youth, and just a few days before their memorable appearance at reading 91

hmmm, think my nirvana fixation is unhealthy....
oh well, whatever, nevermind

I think the video running on mtv is actually something mtv came up with themselves.It is quite s@ite i agree.Rumour has it that a video will be released for the song in the new year.cant remember where i saw that but there ya go.

just out of interest.i got a copy of nirvana at the point in 92 on video but it has half of "teen spirit" and all of "territorial pissings' missing at the end.Does anyone have any idea as to where i could get a full version?

Dun

If MTV came up with themselves, they're lending it to Kerrang. Was bored there so was watching it in slow motion through PowerDVD (cause it's got a nice slowmo button), and interestingly two things stuck out.

Firstly there's a shot of Kurt in an interview that you can you see maybe once or twice in the video normally. Dunno what the signifcance of it was, but he did not look like a happy bunny. Anyway there are stills of it constantly throughout the video flashed up. Perhaps bout 20 times, although I wasn't counting. Anyone have any idea what it is? I've posted a still (compressed for your pleasure)

No. 2 is that there's a dirty big streaker that runs across the
stage near the end with his bits flapping - it's only funny cause it's shown at all times of day - so much for watershed :rolleyes: It's only really noticeable if you slow it down! Watch carefully though and you'll see him as Kurt starts singing the last "you know you're right" He runs from right to left. Wonder if the makers of the video watched Fight Club

D-Generate

Single Frame Insert, not even a humming bird could catch those video makers.

Dun

Couldn't catch the interview clips anyway - they were all single frame. But the streaker can be seen - he's there for a few frames. You just wouldn't know it immediately.

pyure

dammit, i should know what interview that pic is from

94 anyways, and somewhere in europe...looks like something recorded in his dressing room before a show

kurt never looked happy in interviews anyways, unless he was stoned (with was alot of the time)

tbh i dont know, and its gonna piss me off until i find out where its from....damn you dun_do_bheal

and ill say it again : ITS AN OFFICAL VIDEO PEOPLE !!! mtv didnt come up with up

Glad to be of service

I guessed that it musta been late in their career. I forgot that the other thing that stands out when watching it in slowmo is that there are numerous stills of a long-haired Kurt (pre-Nevermind), looking so much more happy and less jaded than in later times. Provides a stark contrast to the interview.
