"This weekend on May 31 HBO will premiere the official television broadcast of this year's Rock and Roll Hame of Fame Induction Ceremony, which took place in Brooklyn back in April. While plenty of audience-captured footage surfaced the day after the event showcasing the night's performances, HBO has shared a preview of their coverage with a clip of St. Vincent performing Nirvana's "Lithium" alongside surviving members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic."

TAPE-AND-SHARE, PEOPLE!!!

dunno if its because english isnt my native language and i m sure i wouldnt like it even if i was 20; the usage of grannypanties words hurts my ears' aesthetics.

[The Soup Nazi]

Jesus Christ Monkeyballs, can we FOCUS on what's truly relevant here? Somebody, please, record and share the HBO broadcast! Goddammit...

Sorry, but I have to say this was really crappy performance from Kim. She really couldn't sing that song at all. It was more sad than good.

It's almost as if the song doesn't accommodate the vocal range of a man in his early 20s and a 60-year-old woman.

I still like it. And "Aneurysm" is one of my least favorite Nirvana songs. (boo! hiss!)

[SonikJesus]

Kim sounded amazing on aneurysm. sounded like she did dirty era. hers was the best then lithium. joan wasnt bad but wasnt great. all apologies sucked but its growing on me. anyway whatever Kim was amazing. i love her

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Yes, I agree, I think Lorde killed it. She sounded like Rocky Balboa.

 

Also, every time I hear Dave Grohl play the fucking drums I continue to think to myself, "Why the FUCK did this guy was so many years with the Foo Fighters?" Sure, his song writing wasn't bad, even had some good ones sprinkled in there, BUT, his drum work? It is one of a kind, all time great kind of shit. Even what he drummed in Them Crooked Vultures is disgustingly good. He has the perfect balance of speed, attack, and yet an almost delicate precision. When he crashes into the symbols, it sounds almost more like jazz than punk or metal. His rolls are tight yet fluid. His timing is as perfect as a metronome. Man what I could do with a drummer like that... A message to Dave Grohl, you should play the drums more.

AND TO BE SURE, KIM GORDON WAS PROBABLY MORE PUNK THAN I'VE EVER SEEN HER IN 30 YEARS OF HER MUSIC. SHIT. She was feeling it, and clearly missed Kurt so she channeled it. Notice the members of the crowd who were quasi-headbanging to teen spirit we bewildered, almost mystified. They didn't know what to do. Yet, THAT WAS FUCKING NIRVANA right there. THAT was a Kurt throwing his guitar at the PA moment. Brilliant. Only Kim could have done that, she was a real part of that Nirvana group, the others were just paying homage.

Kim's performance was punk rock personified. It was "wrong" and ugly and genuine and invigorating. Kurt would have loved that shit. The only way she could have made it better was if she jumped into the crowd and kicked Jann Wenner in the face. Which I'm always hoping will happen at these shows anyway. (Note: I am not advocating violence. I am advocating kicking Jann Wenner in the face.)

Definitely Dave Grohl should focused more on playing drums. He's one of the best drummers in the world far more interesting in what comes to his drumming than his songwriting. Foo Fighters have couple of great songs (eg. Everlong) but most of the stuff is lame pop rock shit.

Thank you. I downloaded the maximum available quality of this video, put it on a USB stick, jammed it into my TV and it looks pretty decent. Having said that, I missed the days (from, um, a coupla years ago or so ) when you could count on a properly authored DVD or a quality .ts file appearing somewhere...

With their producer right there, as well.

Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if Courtney's lawyers were involved..
