Kurt Cobain's Isolated Vocals

[JerseyGirl]

Don't know if any of you have heard this yet, but here's a audio of Kurt Cobain singing 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', vocals ONLY. Very haunting listening to it like this.

Kurt really was able to sing so well for being as hoarse as he was.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

I think he had a pretty good voice.

I like how UltimateClassicRock.com has accepted Nirvana into their repertoire.

There are several Nirvana songs available as just the multi-track stems, I've heard salesmen for software like Logic and Pro Tools use them for demonstrations.

In fact, somewhere amongst my Uni shit, I've got the multi-track stems for Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, and whilst at Uni was played Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody as individual tracks.

Gah. far worse without the music!!!!

^^^^ Would you ever really like it though?

 

[Lynch]

That's one of the few songs of theirs I can actually listen to the music and with the vocals intact, it's something I can listen to from start to finish (unlike about 98% of the rest of their catalog). However, take away the music and you can truly hear how crummy his voice is. Sorry to any fans, if you like it, good for you. I'd rather listen to cats ****.

Finally got to listen to this at home. I actually think he sounds really good Lynch. The thing about grunge is there are no vocal acrobatics necessary for it to be decent. Was very interesting to hear the individual element Kurt brought to the song without the heavy music.

Not 100% my cup of tea but I always like hearing isolated tracks whether it be vocals, guitar, bass, whatever. Cool post!

I knew Lynch's response before I even looked.
