YouTube blocks Nirvana, Green Day, Adele and more amidst U.S. licensing dispute

 

 

A wide variety of music has been impacted by the block, from Adele's "Rolling in the Deep,"  "Problem" by Ariana Grande ft. Iggy Azalea, and Green Day's "American Idiot", to iconic tunes such as R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion," "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, and "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan. 

Official videos aren't the only ones affected either. All videos which use SESAC-licensed audio are no longer accessible, taking out fan-edited music videos alongside ones from the artists themselves. Covers are being blocked as well, so you won't even be able to enjoy KIDZ BOP's rendition of "Wake Me Up When September Ends."

Currently going through this already with Verizon FioS losing access to NBC and affiliated channels since they can’t make a deal. Paying for cable and can’t watch. Glad I don’t also pay for YouTube premium. 
 

Update: I just checked and the American Idiot video is still there as is the rest of their music so not sure why this reports that it isn’t

15 music albums and songs that proved 1991 was indeed the greatest year for rock and roll Story by Kalzang Uzor Gurung.

He says: "1991 was a turning point that reshaped rock, alternative, and pop culture forever. With icons like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Guns N’ Roses, RHCP, and more dropping records, the albums on this list topped charts and changed the sound and direction of the entire decade."

And at no. 3 is Green Day with Kerplunk. (should be no 1.)

3. Kerplunk, Green Day (1991) - Lookout! Records

Kerplunk introduced their classic trio lineup and showcased the melodic, fast, emotionally charged pop-punk sound that would later take over the world. Songs like “Welcome to Paradise,” “Christie Rd.,” and “2000 Light Years Away” helped them build a fiercely loyal underground following and land a major label deal. Without Kerplunk, there’s no Dookie and no pop-punk boom in the ’90s.
