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. Nirvana had so many things going fo them.
