  Hi everyone,
  
  This is from one of my favourite live albums ever and probably the most famous of the bands performances.
  
  It’s been on my list for a while now so it tied in with the arrival of my new chorus pedal to give it a go.
  
  Took a while to get used to the half step down tuning and I was never going to emulate the great Dave Grohl on drums so I did the best I could with the cajone box and some reverb.
  
  Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!
  
  Best,
  
  Liam.

  Hi Lian,
  
  Beautifully done, I suppose you worked on that for quite some time to get everything right.

    Thanks Luc!
    
    Yeah it took a fair bit of work to get the sound down…

  Liam!!! That’s awesome! And to Mike D’s point: I would love to co-sub with you on this project. Can I sing over your four tracks? I’m no where near Kurt, but I can give it a try. Great song and great job on four instruments Liam! Let me know. Bobby Ut

  Did you do it on Garage Band? I’m sure how it works? But, what a way to learn how to trade tracks and such. Let me know my friend. Bob

  Awesome, Liam! This song always reminds me of sitting in my room as a kid listening to all of this kind of stuff on my little boom box I had back then. Love this! Really well done on all of the tracks and Sounded professional.

    Thanks Dave!
    
    Same for me these songs always stir up nostalgia I think I may go down a Nirvana rabbit hole this weekend….

  What a great sound, Liam! Love the grunge, you are truly talented! You got that riff down pat to a perfection. Being a one man band, you just need a singer!
  Btw, do you record the Cajun box percussion with a microphone?

    Thank you Jola!
    
    You’re so right I need a singer!
    
    Yes I used my SM57 mic to record the box and then added some reverb and compression in Ableton to stop it sounding too dry and hollow…

  Great one man band stuff Liam. I reckon you take Bob up on his offer and hire him as your singer. It’ll definitely add another dimension and he’d be a super frontman. Again massive effort to arrange, learn, play and mix this altogether. All the best!

  Good job! It’s a lot of work to sync up just one video with the sound, let alone 4 videos and 4 sounds into one video! You’re going great man. Look forward to more.

  Awesome work. Not easy to be a one man band but you’ve got the talent to breakdown music into layers and then replicate it. I agree with above, Bob can be the 5th dimension.

  Great Job Liam! Very well played and mixed all parts! It’s something I also try do to sometimes, but I don’t play (and I don’t own) bass and cajun or keyboards, so I can mix only several guitar parts, and sometimes vocals. I would like to sing on this, but unfortunately I can sing only in bass/bariton range and for sure I can’t sing Kurt Kobain vocals!
  But I saw Bob offered to sing it and I’m sure he has the right kind of voice for this and can do a great job!
