Honestly I think this is the greatest thing about the MTV performance. They're at the top of their fame, are asked to perform at MTV, and take it as an opportunity to showcase other songwriters they appreciate rather than themselves. Helped teenage me get into a lot of stuff that has stuck with me though the years.
for sure. mtv werent happy that they weren't playing the hits and mtv wanted eddie vedder or some other hot name to be a guest instead of meat puppets. glad nirvana stood their ground
