Yes he did. Dave took them and made them even better. No worries. Chad doesn't have to worry about eating or housing, money for the rest of his life. He is OK.
I know Dave claims that Chad wrote the fills for in bloom, but I have read that kurt actually had to show Chad his idea for the fills in In Bloom, implying kurt wrote them. Chad's still a great drummer.
Yeah Chad should have been listed as a part of the band in Rock Hall of Fame, cause he was the drummer on “Bleach” and tours for about 2 years of their beginning career. He was a huge part of Nirvana that he should get credit for!!!!!
Chad Channing: Dude, you helped shape me. Bleach was and STILL is a huge part of my growing as a human being. I absolutely love it and your drumming is badass! Also, I grew up in Santa Rosa, CA. I read you were born there, not sure it that's correct. I'm officially addicted to live Nirvana shows on RUclips...especially during quarantine. The BLEACH years were really the time when the artists were hungry and at their happiest before the darkness of fame set in. Okay, I'm rambling... thanks for getting me through the dark times and giving me a positive BEAT that will last forever!!!
Little known fact....Chad Channing actually played on Nevermind.. the cymbal hits on "Polly" are Chad Channing. They used the original recording from the earlier Butch Vig sessions from 1990
I'm happy I found out Chad's cymbal hits on polly made it onto nevermind from a previous demo. I'm guessing hes getting some very healthy checks. Happy for him. Great drummer.
I really enjoy watching videos of Chad reminiscing about his time with Nirvana. It's nice to be clued-into a perspective of what it was like to be a member of that band in its early days just before they blew-up but bittersweet, in a way, at the same time given that Chad wasn't there to experience the full scope of their fame that came so shortly after his departure .
Is Chad even aware that he says "You know" every five seconds? Well anyway, Chad Channing is definately underrated. He should be spoken about a lot more. His drumming is absolutely incredible on Bleach! You know?
@@Ratelzwatel I cannot disagree with you more. Pete Best played with the Beatles for 2 years after they had been through several drummers. Plus, he and his mom provided the practice space for the band. Pete Best was a HUGE part of their history, and they fired him over a misunderstanding. George Martin wanted a studio drummer for their first recordings. He told Brian Epstein this. Epstein misunderstood, and thought Martin wanted Best permanently removed, which he didn’t. George Martin talked about this in several interviews, and he felt HORRIBLE about it. He felt like he robbed someone. It’s really an awful story. Ringo Starr was the beneficiary of the biggest misunderstanding in Rock History. Decades later, Best sued for False Termination, and he won. I think he got a couple million dollars (pounds). In my opinion, he deserves $20 million or so. That guy was loyal, and gave his heart and soul when The Beatles were playing for practically no money. It’s a huge injustice.
@@wildmercuryfilms Best filed a defamation of character lawsuit and settled out-of-court for an undisclosed amount. ultimateclassicrock.com/beatles-pete-best-lawsuit/ And, about Best's drumming: ruclips.net/video/jU3a1deif-w/видео.html
Yeah Chad should definitely have been inducted He obviously had a big influence on their sound from the bleach and some of the nevermind era Also he is so cool about the whole thing and not bitter like some people would be He just puts it down to a great time in his life Love you Chad your a dude
There is no doubt this guy should be included in the hof. No doubt. This is similar to the drummer on VS and Vitalogy being left out of Pearl Jam hof. Pearl Jam is in the hof because of their first 3 albums, and they left out the drummer from 2 of those 3 albums. Dumb.
whats great is that i have the box set and you can see chad playing with nirvana back in 88 or89 and it just makes me smile, cause 20 years later he looks exactly the same haha.
Kurt, Krist and Chad were Grunge that Bleach days, and with Dave and later with Pat it began to morph into a Alternative Rockband. How humble Krist and Chad are, and what a hard contrast Kurt was to both. Yes, other comments are right, if they write that Chad had to leave, not because he is a bad drummer, but Dave put more of these controlled wilderness (i Know, he was the silent Bob first too) and professional workflow to the band character.
the ONLY DIFFERENCE between dave and chad's drumming is dave hit the heads harder. they could've simply asked chad to hit harder instead of kicking him out for dave. during the rock n roll hall of fame dave even tells everyone that chad is the one who made up the drum parts.
Chad made up some of the drums parts. A lot of Nevermind and all of In Utero is still Dave Grohl. They had different styles and different set ups and different influences. Dave just fit Nirvana better
He seems humble and I appreciate that. I didn't hate his drumming on bleach just always thought the snare was just, weak? Maybe because it cost 600 whatever to make. They got it done 👍
yeah, he was a good drummer (particularly by 1990; some of his live performances, particularly on scoff and sifting, were fucking incredible and as powerful and technically good as dave's live performances) but apparently his kit was dirt cheap and held together by duct tape. he definitely got plenty of mileage out of it, but there's always an upper limit for how good a crappy instrument can sound
Always great to hear from Chad. Be cool to hear him being interviewed with Krist at the same time. Never seen Chad and Rivers Cuomo in the same room together either.
Chad seems like such a good guy, his songs for his band 'before cars' are pretty good & he made up the drum parts for about half the nevermind songs. Unlucky to leave the band, hopefully he gets a bit of royalty money from bleach & insesticide
well, is clear that Chad thinks about his period in Nirvana with so much regret... of what could have been his life... we can read that in his eyes at the end and in his face
I find Chad Channing a very creative drummer. He's important for 'Nevermind', for which he helped create the drums for some of Nirvana's best known songs ('In Bloom', 'Breed', 'Lithium', 'Stay Away'). I find Dave Grohl's drumming on 'In Utero' mostly rather boring. Imagine how 'In Utero' would have sounded if Channing helped creating the drums. The album would be much more like the compilation 'Incesticide', which also has other creative drummers. Grohl is mostly about loudness, banging the drums hard. I think Grohl sounds great when performing Channing's parts (and those by the other drummers), but I miss creativity in composing drums by himself.
kurt said he was kicked out of the band cause he didn't have the sound they wanted, kurt said he wanted a different sound in the future, so they kicked him out, and he said when he found dave he really liked his drumming
You know, I have a, you know, ah you know ah new theory, you know, about, you know, why, you know, why, Chad got kicked out of, you know Nirvana. It's because, you know, he kept saying, you know too many times. Kurt was like, I've had it with, "you know" Chad Channing, you know. With respect, you know. I do like Chad's drumming, you know.
Chad deserves more credit that he does he was a big part he came up with a lot of the drum beats we know and love like, In Bloom.
Yes he did. Dave took them and made them even better. No worries. Chad doesn't have to worry about eating or housing, money for the rest of his life. He is OK.
John Bliss chad whas good create drums.bit dave not
I know Dave claims that Chad wrote the fills for in bloom, but I have read that kurt actually had to show Chad his idea for the fills in In Bloom, implying kurt wrote them. Chad's still a great drummer.
That was actually kurt, who shkwed him that beat
Yep I was pisst wen the rock hall said nop to him being in the hall of fame
Without this legend, ''About A Girl'' would have never existed.
He should be listed as at least past member or "original drummer" of Nirvana in Rock Hall of Fame!
Aaron Burchard was the original drummer. he was only in the band in 1987 I believe. Was fired for being too unreliable.
Yeah Chad should have been listed as a part of the band in Rock Hall of Fame, cause he was the drummer on “Bleach” and tours for about 2 years of their beginning career. He was a huge part of Nirvana that he should get credit for!!!!!
Don't forget Melvin's Dale Crover briefly pulled kit-duty for pre-Grohl era Nirvana too.
What about jason everman he paid for the studio time tomake bleach and also played in soundgarden
Jason Everman
negative creep is one of my favorite songs of all time
HooverGaming91 negative creep and I’m stoned!
Sappy is pretty good
*THIS IS OUT OF OUR REACH*
Such a soft-spoken sweet guy. I'm glad he got to be part of Nirvana. You're a great drummer Chad ❤🤘
Hey Chad you gave us "BLEACH" and that my friend, is still my favorite album.
His voice is so soothing haha
What a beautiful, talented man and so humble.
A Profile pic worthy of laudation.
Unless he has changed his picture recently, what is so great about it? It's just him showing off his arm.
@@planetX15 hahahaha saying it how it is
He doesn't changed or aged .-.
What a cool,humble guy.
There should be more videos with Chad and his perspective and contribution.
what an underrated drummer
Chad is literally the same lol.His face just looks a little older.I love to hear how they started.
Chad Channing is great, I love In Bloom´s drums I am glad he is alived and looks good
Chad is a nice guy

Yeah
you "quarantined" yourself? did you get the shot dave promoted/mandated?
Chad you were the nucleus and you deserve all mention RESPECTFULLY!
Why they didn't put him in the hall of fame is beyond me.
Damn he didn't change at all hell yeah! 🤘🏻
Best nirvana drummer IMO Chad rules
You know... you're riiiiiight
Fuck off, bitch.

Yep
Most of the drum parts of Lithium were also Chad's.
xRazgriz In Bloom ....Dave has said many times that he basically kept all the parts the same as what Chad had played on that song
+Josh Martins Cool. I didn't know.
Yes. In Bloom was originally recorded for Sub Pop. The drum part is pretty much what Dave played ..like you said. Though Dave played it better lol
Chad is cool. God bless you man. Thanks for the work you contributed. Especially 'SCHOOL' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'm happy I found out Chad's cymbal hits on polly made it onto nevermind from a previous demo. I'm guessing hes getting some very healthy checks. Happy for him. Great drummer.
2:39 - The "Y'know" barrage begins
😂
Loved Nirvana for 5 years, and I've never heard of him before. This is pretty cool
Massive Respect to Chad Channing..
Cheers Bud : )
Chad is the Man
At least Dave Gave him props at the RNR Hall of Fame. I think he should have been inducted with them for being an original member!
Chad seems like such a nice guy.

2022🤘🏻 Nirvana ☮️
He is the Pete Best of Nirvana.
Chad Channing did much more for Nirvana than Best did for The Beatles.
Best isn't on any Beatles singles/albums.
no pete was never on a classic album
ouch af

Anyone else feel sorry for Chad? Not being a part of Nirvana-mania but still having to relive the Bleach years interview after interview.
chad glad to see you, have a good days
Chad seems clear, like clean and sober. I always felt badly for him. But he'll always be able to say he was in Nirvana, so I'll be ok. lol

One of the nicest guys in rock!
Yes I do know.
It's kind of "You know.. Simulator"
Chad Channing é o cara 🤘
amazing how he manages to squeeze "you know" so quickly in between words.
Cool straight up fella I like him.
I miss the pre-1992 era.
Saw you with Childs play back in the 80s at the StarDust on Pulaski highway in Baltimore you are a great drummer

Chad is legend
Chad ages like fine wine I swear
I wonder what would've happened if they released Sheep and Chad stayed in the band, would definitely have been interesting.
I love this guy
Chad has the One Ring
You know!
He is in a couple of band's right now, notable one's include Paundy & Before Cars
He was also once a member of the Fire Ants
