Great trainwrecks of our time – 9: Take That vs Nirvana



Whoa, Bangs! I can't believe no one's pointed me in the direction of this before... Thanks to the ever-vigilant AMP for alerting me to this one. (I do wish he'd change that abbreviation, though. It keeps me thinking of a certain Plan B writer.)

As he rightly says, highlights include:

0.22 – Gary rips the T-Shirt from his hulking frame
1.26 – Gary does the can-can to "My libido"...







Oddly, the girl I was dating at the time of Nirvana's pivotal Reading Festival appearance was into Take That. You don't suppose...? Nah.

  1. I remember just after Robert left Take That he gave an interview to The Sun (I think) and he commented how when they did Smells Like Teen Spirit and the Pink Floyd cover it was when he really felt "free" performing for the band. Fucking tool. Now he has gone and done a record with my old boss. Yeah, that orchestral heavy eighties sound should do the trick in setting you free, especially with that Chaka Khan intro rip off
