Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (1991) NIRVANA perform Smells Like Teen Spirit on The Word, Cobain precedes the song with a few introductory words about Courtney Love being the best fuck in the world and ends it screaming Roger Taylor (Duran Duran drummer and soon-to-be husband of de Cadenet). The band belt out a reasonable rendition of their big hit. Eagle-eyed observers will note that Grohl manages to break off one of his cymbals during the opening seconds.
