Mascis gets the heads flipping frantically with well-loved cuts like 'The Wagon' and 'Repulsion,' and at the height of the frenzy the band tears into a cover of Iggy Pop's 'TV Eye' with Watt taking over on vocals. Mascis sings the anthems of 70s childhoods and 80s adolescence and single moms and keggers in the woods and boredom and heartbreak and endless evenings spent smoking bowls in the Dairy Mart parking lot. They were grunge before grunge, indie before indie. has always been music you can sink your teeth into, meaty bits of melody inspired by mid-70s cowboy rock and tempered by early 90s ennui. They're broke, they haven't bought the album, but now.now they just might. The crowd nods their heads less frequently to the new tracks, wearing puzzled half-smiles. Speaking in an interview with the AV Club, RuPaul explained the story behind the now-famous pictures: “I literally met on the step-and-repeat red carpet at the MTV Awards, and Kurt Cobain told me, ‘You know, we went to see you perform in Seattle, but you had already performed and left by the time we got there.’ Because it was one of those gigs where I think I may have gone on at like 10 or something like that, and that tickled me,” he reminisced.Throughout the night Mascis sprinkles the set with his newest tracks ('Waistin,' 'Ground Me to You,' 'Back Before You Go'), forgoing More Light's piano for high-volume distortion and power-trio punch. Remembering a time he joined Cobain, the members of Nirvana and Courtney Love on the red carpet of the 1993 MTV Awards, RuPaul explained how he was taken back as members explained their love for his art.

It’s precisely the kind of irreverent humour, concealing a nugget of truth, that saw Cobain become the main man for Gen-X. In a big fuck you to the programme, Novoselic threw his bass behind his head, Grohl hit the cymbals out of time and spent most the time dancing and Cobain exchanged the opening line of the song from “load up on guns, bring your friends”, to “load up on drugs, kill your friends.”Ĭobain then attempts to eat his microphone and exaggerated his guitar playing (when he actually touched the instrument) before slowing down the vocals to an octave lower and later confirmed that he was attempting to imitate Smiths frontman Morrissey. In 1991 Nirvana played their hit song ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ for the Top Of The Pops under strict BBC rules which would see Cobain deliver an iconic performance.įor the live performance, production staff had ordered that only Cobain’s vocals were to be performed live meaning that the bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl had to mime along to a pre-recorded backing track.
