Yes! I don't know how old you are but its really interesting to see all this footage of them now with youtube being a thing. In the 90s we just saw the carefully curated clips of them and the media could really shape their irmage.
You have to love Krist. He is so honest and speaks his mind. He is a smart ass that delivers the message in such an eloquent manner. I always loved people like him who described weaknesses in society without being threatening or boring.
I'm 42 and this is the first time I've have watched this interview in its entirety. This is why RUclips is so great! Back in the day you would have to buy this on VHS or a DVD just to see this.
Younger people don't realize that we didn't get to see this entire interview back then, we only saw bits and pieces of it because MTV had to fit it in an 8 minute news piece. They did the 'College Kids Opinion' bit, and then just a tiny bit of Nirvana reacting to the kids, and then maybe another 1 or 2 minutes of Kurt explaining that "Rape Me" is an ANTI rape song and how Dave helped write "Scentless Apprentice." SO... this is a real treat for those of us who saw this original news piece back then and didn't get to watch the entire interview. We get a better glimpse of where their heads were at during this point in time, right after releasing "In Utero." When this piece originally aired, it was cut VERY short. It makes me wonder how much other interview footage must be just sitting in canisters wherever MTV keeps their archives.
I feel bad for the interviewer and Nirvana at the same time. Why they needed an hour seemed strange. Being awkward and you could tell it was early morning for them but play nice w MTV or you wont get your airtime
Growing up in South America It took me years to see an interview; I'd buy rock magazines that would quote those interviews and that was it. In one of those articles they mentioned Kurt was influenced by The Melvins and that got me wondering about it. Months later I found a CD in an imports store... it was sealed and they wouldn't open it for a listen, so I just bought it without ever listening to it. I'd work weekends for my dad and it took me 3 weeks to get the money to blindly spend it because "Nirvana likes it" 😊 BTW: took me like 5 or 6 listens to properly understand and like the CD and I'm a Melvins fan until Today, over 25 years later. Nowadays, a kid would listen to 30 seconds of it on a streaming playlist and skip it to never hear it again.
Krist is such a sweetheart with Kurt. He's so perceptive to Kurt's anxiety about answering questions and he helps keep the convo going, taking the pressure off him. Kurt died before I was born, but he changed the course of history. He has had such an impact on so many people and honestly he was too good for this fucked up world.
Nah that's just Krist. He was always the chatterbox, he's still the same in interviews he does now. Watch his interview with Rick Beato, Kim Thayil and Jack Endino. Kurt never disliked answering questions or interviews, he just hated the dumb questions.
Don't make kurt into some cartooinish figure or martyr. If you were alive when he was a human with both flaws and talents. He wasn't too good for this world, he had dualistic qualities like all of us but wasn't different from his own contemporaries.
@@birdiedog5 Nirvana, Kurt, changed the entire trajectory of music, they did change the course of history. it's not cartoonish to mention that, being the kind of person Kurt seemed to be, that Krist, being his friend, helped fill silences and keep convo flowing during interviews. Kurt doesn't know what to say, or is baffled by interviewers, or is misinterpreted by them and then Krist kinda manages it. Then Dave yells something from the back 🤣 That's what my point was
Exactly! So friggin charismatic, good guy... he really is like my friend and me being Kurt. Exactly the same type of relationship... Well, I lost that friend and my way is thus Kurt's
Everyone loves kurt, as do I, but as I've gotten older I've realized that the whole band is really intelligent and talented. Foo fighters and 3rd secret. It's insane. Kurt was the arrowhead, but you need more than that to shoot an arrow.
Epic belch by Dave Grohl. They were very relaxed, but looked like they felt awkward at the same time. They were collectively really intelligent dudes with a lot of insight.
I love this! These fellas were local to Us, near Seattle when I first moved here from California. I have always loved them, and the creations just keep going- in what ever Art form it may show itself, and however we smile... we are all better because of this.
Wow. Kurt was an amazing man. He had the whole package and didn't even have to try. He was intelligent, interesting to listen to and just cool. Its a shame he's gone, but his music and legacy is timeless.
Some of my earliest musical memories are of Nevermind when it was released, that sound is the framework for what a lot of adolescence is to me. I grew up with Nirvana, it’s a little sweet and sad that Nirvana didn’t get to grow up with me but it’s also part of what makes it very very special.
Imagine having the chance of asking the questions in that interview. So epic🙌🏻 - "That's just people. Everybody's got an asshole, everybody has an opinion" Krist Novoselic 🌹

You can see they share great memories. This is such a nice interview.
Love seeing this entire interview! According to an interview with Vulture Magazine, this would've been around the same time that Dave says he overheard Kurt talking with Krist about replacing him as drummer. Dave claims he confronted both of them about it as they were preparing for the In Utero tour. Knowing all of that, in my opinion, Dave looks like he's already on his way out here. Regardless, I miss these days... especially the early Nirvana years
Guys are hilarious, love these interviews. It's so funny looking back on the college music charts, and like Krist said, it turned into "alternative" music on the charts.

@@KingCrimson82 "The elder of the scene" plucking your feathers if you did something "wrong" might exactly be the reason why punk had to come along and overthrow crusty statutes. Also: "kids today who are like 30s 50s kids"... What the fuck are you babbling on about old man?
@@CFCMahomet It was, Kurt is kind of taking it for granted at this point that he's the creative talent and the others are just the musicians along for the ride, Kurts throw away comments about scentless apprentice being "bonehead" and just his laissez faire attitude to remembering lyrics and playing 3 cords show he thought himself above all that. Dave was feeling stifled in the band, you can tell he's kinda pissed during the later of the video
I still remember the first time I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit, I was riding my bike down a steep hill. I suddenly stopped my bike and heard the song being cranked up by a stranger in a nearby house. I didn’t know who Nirvana was at the time but I was intrigued by Kurt’s raw emotive vocals.
My experience was similar to yours. I was a kid slicing a watermelon for fun in the kitchen and the song appeared from my wall, coming from my neighbor’s house. Didn’t even knew English but it felt like a slap in the face, I was shocked and I needed to listen to it:
He was very thin, his addiction was serious, drug abuse causes a serotonin deficiency, just like in the case of Layne Staley, please stop believing that
Krist man… I just love Krist. He had me there with his bible… I was wondering wtf he was doing with a bible in his back pocket? « It’s Kadafi’s green book » apparently. 😂 Man I just love these guys and I miss ‘em like hell.
Kurt was a gorgeous guy who didn’t know he was gorgeous. His personality was funny, satirical and very unique. His music had an energy like a bomb going off. I obviously still love him, and love Nirvana 🙏❤️

Its so annoying how we have so many gifted musicians that couldn’t fully see out there careers, Kurt Cobain, Elvis, 2pac, Juiceworld, Chester Bennington and many more r.i.p
My God...Kurt is beyond beautiful, not just as a physical specimen but his candor, laughter, sense of humor, and intelligence - he is the only guy in the world that had something to say I've not heard a thousand times...
YES! Well said - unfortunately, mostly what you hear about Kurt is that he was a junkie with depression and hated the world, so your comment is very refreshing. What a shame he was murdered.
YES!!!! Love what you said. But may I reiterate, what a PERFECT MALE SPECIMEN he is!!! He's so damn gorgeous, on top of being so bright and funny. Swoon.....
People like you are who Kurt despised to be honest, people who worshipped him. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but damn people put him on this huge pedestal.
i do =) it was on a discman and it was fake of fire and I especially remember the feeling of utter bliss and amazement, magic i wanted to know all about
i was sat in my old house i was about 6 years old and my dad played me the where did you sleep last night unplugged and the smells like teen spirit music video… i was mesmerised! when i became old enough to get my own phone i was so happy i could play nirvana as much as i wanted, now im 16 and completely obsessed
I remember seeing Smells Like Teen Spirit for the first time on MTV. I was 9 or 10 and made my mom buy me Nevermind on cassette from Ames Department Store the next day.
Yes. Binge. This is very interesting. They so clearly just wanna rock. I worked at a record store & recall when we received one copy of “Nevermind” on new release Tuesday. No one saw the looming stardom coming.
I remember when Nirvana was new my Nana said, what is this rubbish? I said what are you talking about Nana? It's good! She said, music isn't what it used to be. I said, well things change. (Famous last words). Now I'm watching this coz music isn't what it used to be and I miss it. Life is constant change and nostalgia I guess. And that is part of the problem and the solution. I miss my Nana telling me music isn't what it used to be now. Coz I miss her and miss musicians like Kurt and now I'd totally agree. The whole world isn't what it used to be now. But my boy loves singing his little kid tunes! Lol So that's good 😂☺️ That's the main thing. I'm just old and so I've gotten pessimistic.
I remember discovering my grandad's music collection and loving the Inkspots Ellington and Satchmo. Each record I put on would be a revelation. Now I have well populated Spotify playlists for every decade, right up to the present day. Music's never stopped being great. Spotify is our friend - follow your nose, not the crowd.
I had the abridged interview by MTV on vhs when this aired. Loved the interview but the cracks were evident. Said it then & I'll say it again...Kurt was so done with all of this. They weren't getting along & if they were lucky they MAYBE had one more album in them. Business & industry & contracts & touring then addiction just sucked the life right out of him. Such a great artist and such a loss who remains underrated in that we didnt get to see Kurt do all the things he was great at and loved in all aspects of his artistic expression.
I love Nirvana! They are one of the reasons I play guitar. But, some people give Kurt way too much credit, and he's kinda honest about that, but people miss it for some reason. Dave's drums are powerful. If Chad was still their drummer for Nevermind, it might not have done so well. Chris had some bass lines that were like melodies on their own. It made Kurt's "three chords" sound more impressive. All of them together made what we love. It really wasn't just Kurt, and I have a lot of respect for the late man.
Agreed! John Lennon arguably made his most interesting work while in the Beatles, and I think that's true of most artists. The creative synergy and tension of working with a band spurs people on to greater heights than if they're on their own. One of Nirvana's guitar techs made the excellent point that Kurt couldn't have done what he did without Krist and Dave's support. He compared the relationship between Krist and Kurt to that of Sam and Frodo and I think that's a great assessment. Kurt really needed a strong, stabilizing influence and he really got that with Krist and Dave.
With Chad the sound would’ve changed a little bit but the songs in Nevermind were already demoed, recorded and produced by Butch Vig it would’ve been success anyway. The Beatles had Ringo, and Chad was a Ringo.
wow Dave pretty quiet back then. Krist looks like he want to spill everything inside his head and Kurt himself , a little bit uncomfortable at the beginning but hang out pretty well along the way. Great interview!
Dude the awkwardness seeing how Kurt clearly has a problem everytime Dave talks. You can tell Kurt was tired of Dave being in the band by this point, at least from my view.
Before he died said he want suicidal. In Rome kurt said it was an accident even Courtney said that his friend said kurt wasn't suicidal at all then he died and Courtney change her tune and say he was suicidal all the time.. All that to cover her tracks so ppl will believe he kill him self but he didn't.
@@Steger13 Of course he killed himself. If Courtney really wanted him dead, she could have just let him overdose but instead she revived him multiple times.
I paid $5 to see them. Paramount theater Halloween 1991. In the pit for that show. Never had any idea that they were anything other than a well loved local band
Parts of this were hard to watch. So much evidence of how much distance had grown between Kurt and Krist + Dave. Especially Dave (for his stance against hard drugs). I feel so bad for Dave here. Afraid to be his energetic, fun-loving, social self. And clearly deeply saddened and hurt by Kurt’s passively-aggressive behavior, subtle sarcasm, and concealed insults. Krist looks so exasperated at times. They clearly both know how severely Kurt is crashing and burning. For Christ sake, “In Utero” was almost called “I Hate Myself and I Want to Die”. Fucking brutal.
Very perceptive and poignant take. This is even more evident in that August 1993 outdoor interview the band near the water with the Seattle skyline in the background. There was almost no joking around the entire first half of the interview. Krist is more subdued than I've ever seen him, Kurt seems extra moody, and Dave is just trying to keep up with the whole charade. The early band interviews are a night & day comparison to 1993.
watching full interviews make us understand how boring and repetitive it is,ofc we love listening to them talk but their faces are of pure tiredness tbh :) I don’t have half of their patience and they still can keep their humor lmao love them
Hilarious man. “Anybody that know us knows we’re anti rape pretty much at this point”. Hahaha. Totally fucking with them. “ I love it!!! That’s a full on spinal tap moment!!
Back then i was 11 /12 and a Big GNR fan ..i looked like a Mini Kurt (because that was the Style back then even without Nirvana) ......i recognized them, but liked them but not so much (smells sounded too Raw to me i came from Bands like Queen etc)....i started to listen to Nirvana many Years Later...What a Great Band they are! I like especially the early Live Gigs they did at Colleges like 89 green river live ....great Live Band....They deserved everything around them, the Worldwide Fans etc. RIP Kurt Cobain
Kurt had the looks and the talent and the charisma, but he was really insecure and unhappy. he had serious health problems and a severe drug addiction. I think he felt pressured and judged by people when he became famous. it bothered him so much he could never enjoy it. He did not have the personality type to be able to handle it the right way. he also did not have the right people around him to help him. people knew he tried to kill himself before. they knew he overdosed often. they knew he had depression. how could such an important guy in the music industry just walk out of a rehab facility. he should have been in a locked unit, getting way more help. it just baffles me that people around him let him fall through the cracks. I know there is only so much you can do for someone and if they don't want help, you can't force them, but still. 27 years old and gone like that. it's tragic
You can't stop someone from taking drugs if they are a DRUG ADDICT. They have to hit rock bottom and decide to get clean on their own. So don't blame other people.
@@dextermoore278 I am aware you can't stop someone from taking drugs if they are a drug addict, and that a lot of his problems were his own choice. he still had people around him that enabled his bad habits and didn't look out for him the right way. he made a lot of bad choices, and he was surrounded by other people that enabled him, including his wife. so don't act like people around him didn't fail him in some way. they did
I love their stance on guns, and how they were against the glorification of violence in rap music (pushed a lot by the industry) that was hitting it's stride around that time. Kurt really did own an M16 from what I understand, and even Jerry Garcia from the Grateful Dead owned firearms and was photographed shooting a rifle. Krists answer that they are just tools was spot on, and fun to shoot!
@@thealternative9580 yes, that is a method some take to commit that act, you doofus lol. Were you born under a rock or something? What's your point, or do you even have the braincells to make one ? Chris Cornell hung himself with an exercise band (that is..if you believe they committed suicide, which some don't). They use tools (like knives and firearms) and medications and all sorts of various things.
@@joesmith9216 Good question, I wonder what Dave's response would be like also. They are so rich now that I'm sure they need to have armed guards when they go places, which would suck IMO. Unfortunately that's the world we live in :(. I'm sure Krist is still anti-war and would be pushing for diplomacy right now with the war situation, as I remember he was heavily into the conflict in his family's homeland back in the 90's under Clinton. Hopefully he's doing charity work. Shooting sports are fun, I shoot clays and there's plenty of competition shooting and hunting to do, so I agree with the above comment about how gun culture has been ruined, and the sad thing is there are too many guns on the street that are not registered or anything that aren't seized as often as they should be, and I bet the cartel's have unlimited funding to keep sending illegal arms back and forth into this Country.
11:37 "99% of all studios sound too digital" LMAO - this was a time when people still used analog tape and Pro Tools was not big. Imagine what he would think today.
They were talking about ticket prices, and they amazed that Madona is charging $50 while they were charging $18. Now Foo Fighter tickets go from $100 - $600.

Because if you like something, hard music, and want to learn how it works you wanted respect by the elders in the scene MORE than "success" with people who have no clue.
That is beyond precious to be quiet for an hour. I love it.
the interviewer was a nightmare his comment on how would anyone not know it was an anti rape song ffs
@@KingCrimson82 "The elder of the scene" plucking your feathers if you did something "wrong" might exactly be the reason why punk had to come along and overthrow crusty statutes. Also: "kids today who are like 30s 50s kids"... What the fuck are you babbling on about old man?
It’s different when you’re “just the drummer” compared to being the frontman
Lots of tension between Dave and Kurt is evident
Even when telling a joke he looks a bit annoyed
ummmm they shared a cigarette. no tension at all
kris is such a sweetheart
Its kind of crazy to see Dave Grohl so calm and quiet. 😂😂
He was just soaking it in
He was playing his role
Some say his place in the band was tenuous at this point.
@@CFCMahomet He has said it himself.
@@CFCMahomet It was, Kurt is kind of taking it for granted at this point that he's the creative talent and the others are just the musicians along for the ride, Kurts throw away comments about scentless apprentice being "bonehead" and just his laissez faire attitude to remembering lyrics and playing 3 cords show he thought himself above all that. Dave was feeling stifled in the band, you can tell he's kinda pissed during the later of the video
I still remember the first time I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit, I was riding my bike down a steep hill. I suddenly stopped my bike and heard the song being cranked up by a stranger in a nearby house. I didn’t know who Nirvana was at the time but I was intrigued by Kurt’s raw emotive vocals.
My experience was similar to yours. I was a kid slicing a watermelon for fun in the kitchen and the song appeared from my wall, coming from my neighbor’s house. Didn’t even knew English but it felt like a slap in the face, I was shocked and I needed to listen to it:
I wish Kurt was still around
I believe that he was murdered, by the way
He was very thin, his addiction was serious, drug abuse causes a serotonin deficiency, just like in the case of Layne Staley, please stop believing that
I had that Melvins shirt. I loved it. A kid from school who loved Kiss thought it was terribly disrespectful haha.
Kurt is lucid and engaging.
Krist man… I just love Krist. He had me there with his bible…
I was wondering wtf he was doing with a bible in his back pocket?
« It’s Kadafi’s green book » apparently. 😂
Man I just love these guys and I miss ‘em like hell.
Kurt was a gorgeous guy who didn’t know he was gorgeous. His personality was funny, satirical and very unique. His music had an energy like a bomb going off. I obviously still love him, and love Nirvana 🙏❤️
Still? How old are you when you say "still"? 😄
@@justdev8965 I’m 55. 👵😊
@@justdev8965 Me? 55 (1967). 👵 Sorry if some of my comments are printed twice. It seems like I answer a comment that never gets posted! That or early on set dementia 🙈😉
@@lisasmith7066 55, as far as fandom goes, that's real loyalty!
55 a bit too early for dementia me thinks, don't worry so much about it. What we fear is what we get. That has been my own experience anyway.
@@justdev8965 Haha! Thanks! No fears about memory. I’m a far better hypochondriac than that! But yeah I agree! If someone negatively obsesses about something there’s a good chance it’ll happen 😳
Can I just say that Kurt was heart-wrenchingly beautiful. 🤍
10/10 hot for me
I love Kurt ,Dave Krist ❤💗
I miss Kurt 💜
Its so annoying how we have so many gifted musicians that couldn’t fully see out there careers, Kurt Cobain, Elvis, 2pac, Juiceworld, Chester Bennington and many more r.i.p
Juiceworld 😂
Chester. Lol.
I wouldn't put juiceworld in that same category as the rest of your list..😂😂😂
@@jonnyfavors7585 I’m not comparing rather just saying he was younger and had potential, and died young
I love these guys
Legends
My God...Kurt is beyond beautiful, not just as a physical specimen but his candor, laughter, sense of humor, and intelligence - he is the only guy in the world that had something to say I've not heard a thousand times...
YES! Well said - unfortunately, mostly what you hear about Kurt is that he was a junkie with depression and hated the world, so your comment is very refreshing. What a shame he was murdered.
If you enjoy listening to him talk listen to Jim Morrison it's very interesting very intelligent man
YES!!!! Love what you said. But may I reiterate, what a PERFECT MALE SPECIMEN he is!!! He's so damn gorgeous, on top of being so bright and funny. Swoon.....
Amen! 💕💕💕💕
People like you are who Kurt despised to be honest, people who worshipped him. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but damn people put him on this huge pedestal.
Every Nirvana fan knows exactly where there were and what they were doing the first time they heard them.
yeah i have no clue...it was like 3 decades ago.
i do =) it was on a discman and it was fake of fire and I especially remember the feeling of utter bliss and amazement, magic i wanted to know all about
In my car, my mom turned on the radio and it was heart shaped box, I was mesmerized
i was sat in my old house i was about 6 years old and my dad played me the where did you sleep last night unplugged and the smells like teen spirit music video… i was mesmerised! when i became old enough to get my own phone i was so happy i could play nirvana as much as i wanted, now im 16 and completely obsessed
I remember seeing Smells Like Teen Spirit for the first time on MTV. I was 9 or 10 and made my mom buy me Nevermind on cassette from Ames Department Store the next day.
This interview was both very relaxed and awkward.
Its good to see the guys getting on well together.
Nirvana forever!!!!!
Not what nirvana were about...
Dude, Sappy is an awesome song!
I miss those days 😢
Thank you
Dave's reaction to getting that coffee and smelling its aroma is so similar to Fresh Pots
Yes. Binge. This is very interesting. They so clearly just wanna rock. I worked at a record store & recall when we received one copy of “Nevermind” on new release Tuesday. No one saw the looming stardom coming.
I remember when Nirvana was new my Nana said, what is this rubbish? I said what are you talking about Nana? It's good! She said, music isn't what it used to be. I said, well things change. (Famous last words). Now I'm watching this coz music isn't what it used to be and I miss it. Life is constant change and nostalgia I guess. And that is part of the problem and the solution. I miss my Nana telling me music isn't what it used to be now. Coz I miss her and miss musicians like Kurt and now I'd totally agree. The whole world isn't what it used to be now. But my boy loves singing his little kid tunes! Lol So that's good 😂☺️ That's the main thing. I'm just old and so I've gotten pessimistic.
I remember discovering my grandad's music collection and loving the Inkspots Ellington and Satchmo. Each record I put on would be a revelation. Now I have well populated Spotify playlists for every decade, right up to the present day. Music's never stopped being great. Spotify is our friend - follow your nose, not the crowd.
I think commercial music really isn't what it used to be. No budgets(that's huge), little advertisment, and it's about looks and image more than ever.
I was 17 in 1993. Good times.
I’m 17 and it’s 2023:)
I had the abridged interview by MTV on vhs when this aired. Loved the interview but the cracks were evident. Said it then & I'll say it again...Kurt was so done with all of this. They weren't getting along & if they were lucky they MAYBE had one more album in them. Business & industry & contracts & touring then addiction just sucked the life right out of him. Such a great artist and such a loss who remains underrated in that we didnt get to see Kurt do all the things he was great at and loved in all aspects of his artistic expression.
And he had stomach problems :(
I love Nirvana! They are one of the reasons I play guitar. But, some people give Kurt way too much credit, and he's kinda honest about that, but people miss it for some reason. Dave's drums are powerful. If Chad was still their drummer for Nevermind, it might not have done so well. Chris had some bass lines that were like melodies on their own. It made Kurt's "three chords" sound more impressive. All of them together made what we love. It really wasn't just Kurt, and I have a lot of respect for the late man.
Agreed! John Lennon arguably made his most interesting work while in the Beatles, and I think that's true of most artists. The creative synergy and tension of working with a band spurs people on to greater heights than if they're on their own. One of Nirvana's guitar techs made the excellent point that Kurt couldn't have done what he did without Krist and Dave's support. He compared the relationship between Krist and Kurt to that of Sam and Frodo and I think that's a great assessment. Kurt really needed a strong, stabilizing influence and he really got that with Krist and Dave.
With Chad the sound would’ve changed a little bit but the songs in Nevermind were already demoed, recorded and produced by Butch Vig it would’ve been success anyway. The Beatles had Ringo, and Chad was a Ringo.
wow Dave pretty quiet back then. Krist looks like he want to spill everything inside his head and Kurt himself , a little bit uncomfortable at the beginning but hang out pretty well along the way. Great interview!
Dude the awkwardness seeing how Kurt clearly has a problem everytime Dave talks. You can tell Kurt was tired of Dave being in the band by this point, at least from my view.
Dave wasn't a junkie.
@@rev.jimjonesandthekool-aid4488 He was just the 6th drummer waiting to be fired
@samboslandofbodging1896 Better think twice Dave is irrelevant since he's just riding the nirvana ship ,
Dave had to many ideas and kurt didn't want to hear any of them
kurt was in a good place here it seems, never seen him smile for such a long period of time
he had roughly six months left....
Don’t think he was in a bad state til they went to Europe for the tour that sent him in a spiral
Before he died said he want suicidal. In Rome kurt said it was an accident even Courtney said that his friend said kurt wasn't suicidal at all then he died and Courtney change her tune and say he was suicidal all the time.. All that to cover her tracks so ppl will believe he kill him self but he didn't.
@@Steger13 Of course he killed himself. If Courtney really wanted him dead, she could have just let him overdose but instead she revived him multiple times.
Damn I wish I was back in 1993. The 2000s really suck.
The 90s weren't as great as we all romanticize it to have been. Great music though and more simple times.
It was much better than today. You are correct.
The 80S 90s hearly 2000 were the best.. Things started to suks after 911 and the worst started like about 3years ago..
2020s you mean. The 2000s sucked but not as much as nowadays.
Happy birthday Kurt
Kurt is more than beautiful he is magical and his voice turns me on Kurts voice is one of a kind kurt is my dream man always 🧍♂️💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️🎸💯

Love you kurt miss u mate 💙
So you knew him?.??
Yeah..lovely person
Damn imagine now only paying 17$ to see a band like nirvana
I paid $5 to see them. Paramount theater Halloween 1991. In the pit for that show. Never had any idea that they were anything other than a well loved local band
I saw them before Nevermind came out. I think my ticket stub says $15. Memorable night to say the least
@@purplemascara99 I am jealous
$17 back then is the equivalent to $35 and some change now, wild
Yeah, that was the going rate for average seats in the early 90's. I remember my Metallica tickets were 17 dollars in 1992.
This interview is so chill it's like they're just shooting the shit whilst waiting for a flight or something.
He was so charming
Parts of this were hard to watch. So much evidence of how much distance had grown between Kurt and Krist + Dave. Especially Dave (for his stance against hard drugs). I feel so bad for Dave here. Afraid to be his energetic, fun-loving, social self. And clearly deeply saddened and hurt by Kurt’s passively-aggressive behavior, subtle sarcasm, and concealed insults. Krist looks so exasperated at times. They clearly both know how severely Kurt is crashing and burning. For Christ sake, “In Utero” was almost called “I Hate Myself and I Want to Die”. Fucking brutal.
Very perceptive and poignant take. This is even more evident in that August 1993 outdoor interview the band near the water with the Seattle skyline in the background. There was almost no joking around the entire first half of the interview. Krist is more subdued than I've ever seen him, Kurt seems extra moody, and Dave is just trying to keep up with the whole charade. The early band interviews are a night & day comparison to 1993.
To think that 7 short months later, it was all over.
watching full interviews make us understand how boring and repetitive it is,ofc we love listening to them talk but their faces are of pure tiredness tbh :) I don’t have half of their patience and they still can keep their humor lmao love them
I love how daves all tired and quiet in the beginning but you can see him come back ti life after the cup of coffee haha
the embryonic stage of FRESH POTS! lol
FRESH POTS!!!!
“Hey, potential sales” lol krist’s humor is way ahead of time lol
Krist has a great sense of humour 😂
really you should watch him today using the same 4 mind colors to protect the 1776 right to carry arms.
I remember watching this, cuz just arrived in Seattle the 22nd.
Love it
One of the better interviews
Jst too ironic the last question Kurt answered was about guns
🥴
Hilarious man. “Anybody that know us knows we’re anti rape pretty much at this point”. Hahaha. Totally fucking with them. “ I love it!!! That’s a full on spinal tap moment!!
simpler times...
You obviously were not alive when we were
i wish people in the comments would stop over analyzing kurt's every move
Spot on, it's really annoying "kurt was so beautiful you can see the pain in his eyes" blah blah
That was 30 years ago. I’m getting old.
Actually 29 years
1:42 kurt cobain watching himself play
Back then i was 11 /12 and a Big GNR fan ..i looked like a Mini Kurt (because that was the Style back then even without Nirvana) ......i recognized them, but liked them but not so much (smells sounded too Raw to me i came from Bands like Queen etc)....i started to listen to Nirvana many Years Later...What a Great Band they are! I like especially the early Live Gigs they did at Colleges like 89 green river live ....great Live Band....They deserved everything around them, the Worldwide Fans etc. RIP Kurt Cobain
Krist is wearing the same shirt here as the bosian concert interview!
Kurt had the looks and the talent and the charisma, but he was really insecure and unhappy. he had serious health problems and a severe drug addiction. I think he felt pressured and judged by people when he became famous. it bothered him so much he could never enjoy it. He did not have the personality type to be able to handle it the right way. he also did not have the right people around him to help him. people knew he tried to kill himself before. they knew he overdosed often. they knew he had depression. how could such an important guy in the music industry just walk out of a rehab facility. he should have been in a locked unit, getting way more help. it just baffles me that people around him let him fall through the cracks. I know there is only so much you can do for someone and if they don't want help, you can't force them, but still. 27 years old and gone like that. it's tragic
yes, but he wasn't a bad person, that's the intersection where most go off track with judgement...
@@rgoob4045 Agreed, he was a talented and kind man. he just suffered a lot and I think he felt misunderstood
@@ashleyphillips5477 agree, and then some...
You can't stop someone from taking drugs if they are a DRUG ADDICT. They have to hit rock bottom and decide to get clean on their own. So don't blame other people.
@@dextermoore278 I am aware you can't stop someone from taking drugs if they are a drug addict, and that a lot of his problems were his own choice. he still had people around him that enabled his bad habits and didn't look out for him the right way. he made a lot of bad choices, and he was surrounded by other people that enabled him, including his wife. so don't act like people around him didn't fail him in some way. they did

_"I swear, I don't have a gun!"_
Thanks Dave for taking the words out of my mouth 😂
Quick wit!!!
Krist is so pure
I love their stance on guns, and how they were against the glorification of violence in rap music (pushed a lot by the industry) that was hitting it's stride around that time. Kurt really did own an M16 from what I understand, and even Jerry Garcia from the Grateful Dead owned firearms and was photographed shooting a rifle. Krists answer that they are just tools was spot on, and fun to shoot!
Kurt killed himself with a gun you cornball.
@@thealternative9580 yes, that is a method some take to commit that act, you doofus lol. Were you born under a rock or something? What's your point, or do you even have the braincells to make one ? Chris Cornell hung himself with an exercise band (that is..if you believe they committed suicide, which some don't). They use tools (like knives and firearms) and medications and all sorts of various things.
I agree too. It's gun culture that's gone rotten. Technically not guns in and of themselves. Even worse as time went on.
I actually like them both better for that answer, now adays though....what would they say???
@@joesmith9216 Good question, I wonder what Dave's response would be like also. They are so rich now that I'm sure they need to have armed guards when they go places, which would suck IMO. Unfortunately that's the world we live in :(. I'm sure Krist is still anti-war and would be pushing for diplomacy right now with the war situation, as I remember he was heavily into the conflict in his family's homeland back in the 90's under Clinton. Hopefully he's doing charity work. Shooting sports are fun, I shoot clays and there's plenty of competition shooting and hunting to do, so I agree with the above comment about how gun culture has been ruined, and the sad thing is there are too many guns on the street that are not registered or anything that aren't seized as often as they should be, and I bet the cartel's have unlimited funding to keep sending illegal arms back and forth into this Country.
11:37 "99% of all studios sound too digital"
LMAO - this was a time when people still used analog tape and Pro Tools was not big. Imagine what he would think today.
They were talking about ticket prices, and they amazed that Madona is charging $50 while they were charging $18. Now Foo Fighter tickets go from $100 - $600.
