Kings Of Grunge - Rock Music Videos Nirvana

Nirvana is the American band that pioneered alternative rock. Created in 1987 in Aberdeen, Washington, the band enjoyed brief but immense success in worldwide music scene...partially, thanks to the original rock music videos Nirvana played on those years. Formed by Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic, Nirvana was joined by different drummers throughout its reign. One of 'em was Dave Grohl, who stayed with the band longest. The group's demise was primarily caused by Kurt Cobain's suicide in 1994.

The band's first album is "Bleach", which was released by an independent label. However, it was the second album "Nevermind" (1991) that took the nation by storm. They startled the audience with the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - with the corresponding rock music videos Nirvana in the package. The band's third album entitled "In Utero" was published a year before Kurt Cobain died.

One of the popular rock music videos Nirvana created was of course for their greatest single ever, "Smells Like Teen Spirit". In the video, hundreds of high school students were asked to sit on the bleachers as if watching a major concert. The intention was for them to create chaos on stage when the concert was over. In that video, the several shots of the teenagers causing havoc with the band equipments and stage props were real and not just acted.

Included in the list of notable rock music videos Nirvana produced, was that one for "Heart-Shaped Box". This one impressed critics so well that it topped the 1993 Village Voice Pazz and Jop music video category. There was a lot featured in this video, starting with a man on the hospital, a young Ku Klux Klan girl, and an overweight angel woman. The band had outdoor shots using the same imagery for the film "The Wizard of Oz".

"Lithium" is part of the most-watched rock music videos Nirvana collection. While it is nothing but a collage of Nirvana's concerts and live performances, it's still warmly accepted by fans and followers alike. There were violent footages in the video. The song made so much promise, reason why the video was quite popular during that time.

"Come as You Are" also belongs to the collection of the best rock music videos Nirvana. The band shot in Hollywood Hills for this video and as with all the rest, it featured numerous clips like a dark room band setting, cells multiplying, Kurt swinging on a chandelier, and a dog with a cone collar.
