Aneurysm (LIVE) - Nirvana
This is the live version of Aneurysm. It can be found on the album From The Muddy
Banks Of The Wishkah, which is a collection of memorable Nirvana
Performances. However, on that version, Kurt does not scream before the outro, but
I put that there anyway. Please rate, post comments, and enjoy playing!
