This cover of Zombie in the style of Nirvana is wild. It's very close, and the way it does the chorus is really special. Also great breakdown at the end. Otu is so good, a genuine savant of the cover in the style of another band genre youtu.be/JZZLMKmalgM?... - ThreadSky

Listening to their AC/DC and Rammstein style covers and I'm impressed. Thanks for pointing them out to me!

Ed Zitron knows of Moonic Productions? My niches are pleasantly intersecting again.

Hollaback Girl in the style System of a Down is ridiculously fun.

Love it!

How did I not know about this guy at all - especially given he's from Finland like me!?!?🤘🇫🇮

tactical-grace.bsky.social•9 days ago

This needs to be used in the next The Batman movie the same way they used a cover/re-work of Nirvana's "Something in the Way".

You know, Ed, I was very prepared to intensely not like this song, and was pleasantly surprised. Quite solid. 8.5/10 - an unexpected success

It kinda seems like part of the magic is guitar parts kinda lifted from Nirvana songs to support the vocal melody of Zombie. For example the verse calls to mind something in the way. And the chorus recalls something from in Utero. Maybe the bridge of Francis farmer.

Not exactly. But it works.

Yeah he builds all his covers off of other songs, you can hear it especially in the Kyuss ones, you know you're right is basically demon cleaner but slowed down.

If we're talking about covers in another genre, can I introduce you all to the genius of Todd Barriage? https://youtu.be/uRqZ1TI32ZQ?si=1OXDAtWdj98tT6Og

This is interesting. I wouldn’t call it the style of Nirvana though. More like the style of… uh… “Stone Garden Pilots Kurt -n- Friends”.

The song is anti resistance pro colonialist propaganda 🤢 https://youtu.be/H-lbKwxAUrY

Actually, it's about people like you, zombies who vomit out garbage videos and completely miss the point.

There's a reason Zombie is so popular in Ireland all these years later, but naturally that is WAY over your little head.

redlilrascal.bsky.social•9 days ago

I trust the Irish Republican more than I trust you random guy

therealcormace.bsky.social•9 days ago

Would you like to know why the IR are mad?

Because the song is anti violence, Dolores was angry a 12 year old boy died in an endless cycle of violence. That's why the Irish nation, tired of death and violence, adopted it, to this day.

Look up the Warrington bombing and educate yourself.

redlilrascal.bsky.social•9 days ago

Buddy YOU and the people who support the status quo of violence that must exist to maintain colonialism are the violence lovers. Watch the video. The IRA did not target civilians you are doing colonialist propaganda.

paramania.bsky.social•9 days ago

Sorry dude, but the IRA absolutely targeted civilians. What are you talking about?!? The Birmingham pub bombings, the Enniskillen bombing, and the Omagh bombing, to name a few. Don't get me wrong, the loyalists were every bit as guilty too. If not more so. The song was against the cycle of violence

therealcormace.bsky.social•9 days ago

Either you simply lack reading comprehension or your brain is melted into pudding.

Either way, "the IRA did not target civilians" exposes you for all to see.

/muting you now. You're an internet hallucination.

Had to listen to this afterwards.
Would have loved a Nirvana cover of the Cranberries "War Child" https://youtu.be/fregObNcHC8?feature=shared

cunabula.bsky.social•9 days ago

Wonders idly if someone's done a cover of Something In The Way in the style of the Cranberries.

icepork.bsky.social•9 days ago

Interesting - harmonized portion reminiscent of Alice in Chains, with a Staley/Cantrell feel.

edzitron.com•9 days ago

I think they nailed the tone, the way they sing "head" is so good, so is the solo. Is saying it's sardonic too much? Can we say that?

dysamoria.com•8 days ago

Yeah. That’s it. Alice In Chains. I knew it wasn’t a Nirvana sound.

slothlike.gay•9 days ago

well damn, thank you for introducing us to this.
anyway, time to put on a nirvana playlist... matches my current angst level.
