A long time ago, I heard that Avril covered Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana during the Bonez Tour. Is there any recording (video/audio) for this performance? And how often did she play it during the Bonez Tour?
Thanks.

I don't remember her covering that song. She covered Song 2 and All the small things for Bonez Tour. I only heard her say she originally was going to cover Nirvana but heard Song 2 on the radio and changed her mind.

I’ve heard that too but it was probably like a one-time thing or something she did for a few shows. Likely no video of it considering it was 2004/2005.

Here you go! ☺️ She says it min 0:40
If she ever did cover it, I don't remember ever hearing about it.

I suppose it never happened considering she said she was "originally" gonna do it but then heard Song 2 instead I tried googling "Avril Lavigne Smells Like Teen Spirit" and the lyrics of SLTS came up but with "Avril Lavigne - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Live)" as the title |

I'm glad she didn't. She already got enough shit covering Fuel, Basketcase and Chop Suey! I imagine she would get crap for that one too.

I'm glad she didn't either for the same reasons you have cited. I'll also add that I think her cover of Fuel was very good and I'm a Metallica fan too. And if you watched the interviews even the band members of Metallica said she did a good job, some said so enthusiastically. But the most hardcore Metallica fans weren't having it and bashed her for it anyway, but I still maintain that her cover was better than the original.

I don't think I'd go so far as to say her version of Fuel is better than the original. It was way too low for her range, for one thing. Her band also straight up couldn't play it (Evan couldn't do the solo right at all). But it wasn't her choice to play it in the first place, I'm guessing for that Metallica special the producers assigned songs to every performer. She did the best she could with the hand she was dealt, considering it wasn't a song she chose and it wasn't a song she'd probably choose to sing voluntarily.

It's just a difference of opinion, but I definitely don't think it was too low for her because she clearly did it and did it well, and I think Avril and her band absolutely rocked that song. And considering that they had little time to prepare, I thought they absolutely killed it. Clearly everyone in audience was in to it too. And if you compare it to Metallica's own live performances of Fuel, which seem to be quite varied, I think Avril and her band did an absolutely amazing job. And it was clearly one of best stand out performances in the Metallica Icon tribute show.

I hate those „Stans“ who see their Idols as Gods or something and go around and sh*t on other because of one performance. I don’t care at all what they think. Avril can sing and cover whatever she wants. Btw I‘m not angry if it sounded like I was. xD |
