Just because there is a open string bass line you think Nirvana ripped it?

just 'an open string bassline'? How about such a bassline with the exact same notes? Recognized it instantly, definitely copied by nirvana.

Similar but not exact. That video with Kurt I'd never seen and I'm a huge Nirvana fan. It's heart-breaking to watch such talent fade away. Krist and Dave have continued on and I'm glad they did. But the 27-Club didn't need another member.

There are many songs where the bass line is eerily similar. If that group felt it was ripped off, a lawsuit would have been brought forth. If it was, I'm not aware. I'll be using Google tonight.

There's no denying that Kurt Cobain has heard that song before.

"Come as You Are" (1991) is fueled by a slowed-down version of the guitar riff in "Eighties" (1985). At the time, Killing Joke opted not to file a copyright infringement lawsuit for personal and financial reasons. Nirvana's then-manager Danny Goldberg later copped to the similarity between the two songs. In the 2000 book, Eyewitness Nirvana: The Day-By-Day Chronicle, Goldberg said, "We met to discuss what [Nevermind's] second single would be. We couldn't decide between 'Come as You Are' and 'In Bloom.' Kurt was nervous about 'Come as You Are' because it was too similar to a Killing Joke song ['Eighties'], but we all thought it was still the better song to go with. And, he was right, Killing Joke later did complain about it."
