Negative Creep

This is about an individual who always looks down on things. Said Kurt Cobain: "I just always saw myself as a negative person."

Velvet Revolver covered this on the B-side to their first single, "Slither." They also frequently play the song live.

Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme told Rolling Stone magazine: "The first time I heard Bleach, I remember turning to my friends and saying, 'We gotta start writing better songs.' Listening to 'Negative Creep' and 'School' and 'Love Buzz,' I thought there were three different singers in the band. It was a total perspective-changer – it definitely ripped a sheet of paper off of my mental notepad. A couple of years later, I got an advance copy of Nevermind. I was raised on Black Flag and the Cramps; I had always thought, 'This is the best s--t ever, and no one's going to listen to it.' Nevermind proved that I was completely wrong about that. I was so stoked."
