Placebo covered Nirvana's ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ and performed it live mostly during Battle For The Sun tour. But in fact, it was in 2001 at Sziget Festival in Hungary when they played the song for the first time ever! Almost ten years later, the cover was brought back on stage and, as far as we know, included into 36 Placebo setlists in total.
๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ was released as the final song on Nirvana’s third and final studio record, ๐๐ง ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐จ, in September 1993. On December 6, 1993, it was released as the second single from the album to become the band’s final single before Kurt’s suicide four months later.

◾️Cobain had a generally happy childhood until his parents divorced when he was nine years old. After that event, he was frequently troubled and angry, and his emotional pain became a subject of, and catalyst for, much of his later music. As a teenager, he moved between various relatives’ houses, stayed with friends’ parents, and occasionally slept under bridges while he began to use drugs. Cobain was musically inclined from an early age, and in the mid-1980s he began to play with members of the local “sludge rock” band the Melvins. In 1987, he formed ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ with Krist Novoselic and Aaron Burckhard and established it as part of the Seattle music scene which later became known as grunge.
◾️One of the band’s demo tapes found its way to Jonathan Poneman of the Seattle independent record label Sub Pop, which signed the band to produce its first single, “Love Buzz”, in 1988 and its first album, Bleach, in 1989. The album had a unique (and soon-to-be signature) sound that mixed the rawness of punk rock with pop hooks, and the group soon became a target of major record labels. With new drummer Dave Grohl (who joined the band in 1990) Nirvana released its major-label debut, ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ (1991), which featured the hit single “Smells Like Teen Spirit”; it became the first alternative-rock album to achieve widespread popularity with a mainstream audience. Nevermind catapulted Nirvana to worldwide fame, and Cobain came to be hailed as the voice of his generation, a title that he was never comfortable with.
