I can't work out if this is for real or a send-up?

[Barking Spiders]

Here's Puddle of Mudd doing an unplugged cover of Nirvana's About A Girl. On YT it's got 27k 👎 vs 11k 👍. Are the 11k right thinking it's a p1$$take of Kurt Cobain's singing or are the 27k  right knowing this pretty much fits in with PoM's less than illustrious career?

I've heard of them, but never heard them. He looks like he's going to give himself a hernia.

[Doctor J]

It's very real, sadly.

[Dad3353]

I gave it 35 seconds. No further comment.

Good lord...

Ouch

Pub singer after ten pints with a hernia....

!@#$%in' 'ell, that was horrific!

I liked the bassist and guitarist who were trying not to laugh at  various points. Made me smile - so thumbs up from me. 🤪

I made it to 45 seconds, do I win a pork pie?

Jesus, you’ve really gone “glad half full” with that summary.

It’s more like a Lake.

[Starwarsnosebleed]

Ew, that was painful, and i only made it halfway through.

Yus.

11K people must have forgotten to unmute the video. 

That being said its probably the best move for Puddle of Mud fans... 😂

[Chris2112]

Yes, it is absolutely dreadful and genuine too. You can see the bongo player and the bassist looking at each other in the first minute with the bassist apparently about to break out laughing. I guess it goes to show that not everyone who takes part in these dreadful performances earnestly believes in them.

I saw this a while back and its quite sad really. He used to have a decent voice but for whatever reason during this performance he struggled. Perhaps he should have cancelled. Better to miss a performance than do irrepairable damage to your career by performing like this.

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

Poor bloke can’t win. Gets hammered if he lip syncs at gigs and the same happens when he sings live 😂

[madshadows]

Yeah that's terrible, such a pity, always liked Puddle Of Mudd's 'Blurry' !!

This video has spawned a legion of cult videos!

You're a patient man. I lasted less than 10.

Yay! I'm in the lead (I think). I made it to 0:46

I try to be forgiving of bad performances, but he is really straining.

Aside from anything else it sounds like he'd have been a lot happier singing in a different key.

[Guest]

He knew his voice was totally shot, but still gave a committed performance. Bravo!
