1. I'm only downloading the new album if its got About a Girl on it.

2. NO NO , IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE NIRVANA ! . Whats wrong with covering "A national Acrobat " or "She Sells Sanctuary" ? . Nirvana always sounded like shit ! anyways . You ever herd "Answering machine" , "Here come a regular" or " Can't hardly wait " ( the acoustic version , with out all the horns that make it sound like a crest commercial ) by the replacements …and whats with that lace shirt ? do you and Marylin Manson shop at the same used burlesque dancer store brah ? I mean how can he even strum that guitar with such a limp wrist ?

3. It was simply in too high a key for him.

4. He was straining but he was hitting the notes.

5. Ppl hate on this guy too much… legend

6. He coulda just sounded like wes n it woulda been an alright cover. But he tried wayyy to hard to try to sound like kurt and it was such cringe

7. I liked come clean and life on display. I didn't like there other albums but I'm glad he's sober

8. Singing cover's fuckn hate me.

9. All their music sounds like shit.replace the singer.he can’t carry a tune

10. I’d say already having performed 5 or 6 songs is a pretty bad excuse considering they probably play at least twice that many at their concerts

11. He WASN'T trolling??! Really..? Damn, this whole time I honestly thought he was just trolling everybody with that cover.
    But the fact that he wasn't makes it even funnier I guess 😆

12. Muddle o' Pudd

13. Still nowhere near as bad as mgks cover of system od a down ariels

14. Say whatever you want about Puddle and Wes but they had bangers and he has been a pretty entertaining individual, glad to see he finally sobered up

15. Skip to 1:30 to get the actual news

16. I was in rehab with Wes in 2017. And that's my story of how I learned open G tuning on guitar when I first started playing.

17. He's still alive?

18. It’s obvious he’s trying to pull off Cobain’s raspy vocals but he can’t so he should just stick with the fact that he can’t. Not all that other BS. I tried to do Cobain’s voice and sounded just like this dude….

19. I think we all knew he was tstraining

20. Thank you so very much to everyone involved in this video. I never had proof, until now. But this is the only reason I never liked hearing anything by Puddle. Because I always thought they were trying way too hard to sound like people they can never live up to. The fact they tried to cover said persons just lets me see things as I always have hahahahaha.

21. Love me some Mudd..I like drunk mudd as well ! Don’t have to sober up for me

22. Wait Puddle of mudd are working on a new album
    LETS GO !!!!!!!

23. I thought it was a great cover.

24. So I get it. We all have bad days singing. And some songs are more difficult to sing for certain people. That’s very understandable. The question isn’t “why couldn’t you sing that song?”

    The real question is Why would you put that recording out? If you knew it was rough then why put it out? No one was there going, “maybe let’s not put this one out”? Lol. The whole thing is just weird.

25. puddle of mudd is a shitty band in the first place

26. For anyone wanting to hear a shit cover check out Code Orange trying to do Alice In Chains 😂

27. Wow, he had already played five or six songs. No wonder he was exhausted. I mean, what an extreme workload. It’s not like he’s a professional musician or anything. What a hack

28. Fred Durst made them something. Wes made them nothing.

29. Saw them in 2008. Good show. But to be honest I'm sick and tired of hearing about rock stars "getting clean and sober".

30. I gotta give it to him at least he owns up to how bad it was

31. I’m on the fence on POM. They kinda faded away like Nickelback, but not hated on as much.

32. Wes is a good singer overall and has nailed that song before. He had a Liam Gallagher moment

33. Don't worry the junkie that wrote it could barely sing it too

34. The original was crap

35. One thing I never understood, if he couldn't hit certain notes, why not go down an octave or up one. That's typically what I do if I can't hit a not in my natural range. It might not be the best sound, but better than cracking vocals. I'm not even a singer, just a guitarist and metal growler.

36. Butt rock, they had 2 hits and shudve stopped at that
    Once she hates me came out I lost all artistic respect for this band, im sorry, you do a song that cliche I tend to lose interest.
    Substance abuse should give your music substance, if it ain't then ur doing it wrong, not to mention his, premadonna, cobain but fame too soon like persona that really makes me cringe.

    Edit: he sounded like he was doing a bad impression of Kurt
    He should just sing it in his own tongue 👅

37. Next time tune the guitars down a whole step when you're acclimating.

38. He looked like he was passing a kidney stone.

39. I remember when yall first broke this story. Homeboy reporting couldn't even keep a straight face lmao

40. Can’t wait til the Nashville show. Wes is a cool dude.

41. He should've said this back when the incident first took place, But better late than never I suppose.

    Truth be told that I didn't even know how bad the Nirvana cover was until it started going viral everywhere, Though in my defense I was used to hearing his godawful 2012 – 2017 performances that anything else sounded decent in comparison.

42. I saw Puddle of Mudd with Korn in 2003 and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. I tend to listen to heavier shit but P.O.M. was incredible…..

43. Because Nirvana was a complete garbage group with no substance at all that's why they were a flash in the pan even if he had lived they wouldn't be around they were a trend

44. What, no word on the death of the Tubes bass player ?

45. Never got into Puddle of Mud, but always good to see somebody doing better. Best wishes to him.
