Thank you for having Steve Albini on too
Has coveralls over his jeans like he was just fixing his car in his garage and decided to stop by for an interview.
You can't overstate his importance to so many bands!
@@user_01986that’s his usual swag in his studio… and why not? Just wear whatever makes you feel comfortable..
read up on his
love on CP. He’s a scum bag
It's Steve Albeenie
R.I.P. Steve Albini
What a great point Dave makes at 8:28. He didn't feel bad about success because the band didn't change to get there. They became successful doing what they did.
What they are all avoiding to say is the term, "selling out". Which is a misguided idea that gaining a larger and wider audience and success is somehow in conflict with being loyal to your art. OBVIOUSLY, there are situations where that can be true. But is that so wrong? Let an artist make their own decisions. And honestly to me, its just a form of a "scarcity mindset" when your a young punk who came from nothing. And you were never the popular kid in school. And you find yourself in a community that you fit into, and it becomes that community against the world. And then you see a band whose music is an ANTHEM to your community and plight, where they become successful and now are the COOL kids, there can be a sense of betrayal.
Well, they actually did change.
They re-recorded most of the entire album, because Butch Vig heard the hits in several of the songs, abs wanted to make them sound better.
Albini is integral, as he was there when they first recorded it all, and for future work, but they did change a bit for the album.
I was a fan of Bleach, off a buddy turning me on to it, so I was stoked listening to Nevermind, but it took months before that video played, and everyone freaked out.
The difference in sound, most likely didn’t matter for success, but Vig made some good choices.
The Clash doing a disco type song comes to mind when discussing the culture of punk rock, i think certain musical journeys would get artists in conflicts with their original fanbase
Yeah he says that but when you listen to Bleach and then Nevermind….the songwriting is much poppier, more accessible. And the production was totally commercialized and targeted to rock radio.
Not knocking it! It’s an amazing record and Butch Vig is probably my favorite producer.
But when Nirvana acts like they weren’t trying to get popular, I don’t think that’s totally honest
Well Kurt DID feel kinda bad for the commercial success that made was
Having Steve on this podcast was such a huge asset to the entire interview.
This is probably the least acerbic I've seen Steve.
@@seamusburke639 fantastic word
Where do I get the entire episode of this??
Rarely get to use it in a sentence.@@reputablehype
@@seamusburke639 he checks Conan on a few things. I appreciate his realness
Man, what a cool idea for an interview. Conan could be the greatest of our generation of talk show hosts, in that he keeps reinventing himself and always he comes up with better iterations of his media. I mean 30 years on tv and then reinvents himself as a podcaster, and he’s still back on screens, with his assistant and producer as sidekicks. With still great guests. Genius.
He is the best in my book!
He's the goat for all that AND being known as a great employer taking career of his crew, preserving great people around him always.
@@DaHamburglarGT Brian Stack, for one!
An absolute genius indeed
@@DaHamburglarGTSir Jordan Schlansky for two!
I am always super appreciative whenever Krist and Dave get together and talk the old days. I'm happy Kurt's songs persist in being helpful and relevant to new listeners all these decades later. Nirvana were the first concert I ever attended and while I readily acknowledge my biases as a fan, their progressive influence on culture in general has had huge reverberations around the world. I hope it continues for many more decades to come.
While he of course wasn’t there as long as the core three, I add Pat to that list because his perspective as the relative newcomer but how quickly he “fit in” (while adding his own flavor) helps complete the picture of those old days.
Breaks my heart Kurt is gone All the music we were robbed of and everything else That went along with his death Tragic
The comment/reply from I think it was Albini about anyone who attacked us as fakes and whatnot (my paraphrasing lol) came from a point of pure jealousy on their end as an outsider and not knowing even a sliver of what was going on and how much sweat, pain and effort you put into making your ‘craft’ is true about a lot of bands, artists, celebrities throughout the history of time. Perhaps it was so much harder in the punk scene and I believe it was as even going back to the 1960’s with the British punk scene you had the vitriol and hatred towards those ‘who made it’ but yeah you hear stories like this from almost every artist you can think of that hit stardom or superstardom that these stories are almost like a dime a dozen at this point. It almost always comes from a place of jealousy, shame and lack of self worth from those who are fans or who are other musicians that attack another band for being to as Grohl said just being able to survive basically. Another band that immediately popped into my head, actually another punk band, of having to go through and overcome this adversity of hatred and jealousy was Green Day only a few years later.
Well said... and I know who you are btw!!
Truth!
The band Jawbreaker, though still around today, were victims of this type of fan behavior. They were a Gilman St band that was supposed to be like Green Day, Rancid, Offspring etc, but we're denounced bc they signed a with a major label before "paying their dues" and was instantly hated by their fans for "selling out."
Silliness.
When Kurt passed in 1994, and the Unplugged record was delayed, then eventually came out - I never imagined that there would be a time when Krist and Dave would be comfortable enough to talk to anyone about Nirvana ever again.
Took them like 30 years but I figure 30 years is a pretty good length of time to talk about something uncomfortable again
More like 20 years. They've been doing these sit downs since at least 2011.
Nevermind 20th anniversary broke some of that ice, but I feel like the Paul McCarney collaboration and then the HOF induction seemed to finally help them get comfortable discussing the Nirvana experience (and performing these songs live again occasionally).
One of the greatest albums of all time… “what are the tuning a harp?” Says Kurt 😊 RIP ❤🥀
I played in my first band at 21...the thought of reaching Nirvana-level fame at that age seems unimaginable.
Dave was a little bit older. The time period hes talking about he was almost 23. For me the difference between 21 & 24 was dramatic. It was probably my own creation. It was kind of forced upon me. When I was 21 I felt 17. I turned 24 & suddenly I thought I was 40. Made stupid decisions because of that.
Kind of makes one understand why John Frusciante (from RHCP) had to quit in 1992. He joined at 18 to an already established band and at 21 the band had Nirvana opening for them. Kurt, Krist and Dave were all playing from a few years but the amount of exposure that came along with fame and success, must have been very stressful.
It's amazing to me how Kris' voice and mood has been the exact same trough the decades. I love that dude so much.
He became a lot quieter and more forlorn seeming after Kurt died. Dave was more of an employee Krist and Kurt were best friends since high school. His death really made him less vibrant and happy go lucky. More reserved and quiet now. I always feel for him.
@@chadgrov That's also getting older. He seems very happy mostly to me. ut I get how the death of a friend can change you.
@@andresbarriga5305 if you watch the Rick Beato interview you can see Krist really open up a bit more and be his old self
He’s nothing like how he used to be. He used to be really funny and joked all the time. You don’t know what you’re talking about
@@ShinyFlakesShinyFlakes Shush.
LITERALLY. WHAT?? Conan got Dave AND Krist AND Steve on?! MAD respect 🔥
i love how krist still dresses so cool. and dave is always this chill grunge-y dresser. they are who they are. love that
I'm definitely an outlier here but I'm pleasantly stunned to see Steve Albini sitting across from Conan. Two worlds I never thought would cross and for that meeting to be filmed. Incredible.
🤔
Nirvana played a little club in Madison which I played all the time. Lived about two blocks away at the time. My roommate then played me what he called "the greatest thing ever." About 5 minutes later they were HUGE. For a band to go from a tiny club to the biggest thing in music in a year must have been disorienting. Smashing pumpkins used to play there too and slept in the garage at the booking agents house. Couple others...Space Hog, Living Color, etc...Space Hog opened for us and I recall their sound check with my jaw on the floor. Nobody showed up and they had a huge hit about a month later. We gave them our door money for gas/food.
Cool story mate,what was your band called ??
Hi Man, the name of the band was ARCANE. We recorded several times but couldn't seem to get things released. Guitar player took off to California with the master tapes and I moved to Austin Texas. Played with about 25 bands. It's easy for a drummer to get gigs in a town full of string twitlers. Phrase is; "Can't swing a dead cat without hitting a guitar player." I've been on the phone with a Texan this week trying to get me to move 2000 miles to play with him again. I don't want to move to the Northeast big city. Nice to talk with him again though. Think he has five albums out now but I'm old and tired. Sorry, got into the cups after work man B-).@@zolfodor4835
@user-ln4zr4pz4f ha ha no bother mate 👌👌 sounds like you lived the life & enjoyed the scene,good memories,it would be a big move for you to up sticks ??? I would love to go to Austin,one day I will & pay my respects to SRV,I,m an old drummer [ 54] from the north east of england,played a few gigs as a guitarist aswell,love all types of music,it's my life,always,my 2 sons play aswell & my eldest lives in New Jersey in the states,if ever you put anything on here regarding Arcane,let me know,would love to hear your bands stuff.
HAhaha = 52 and you are funny as hell my man.@@zolfodor4835
Conan getting that talk show as a complete unknown is a testament to the incredible power of Lorne Michaels...
It was also the late slot. The network has low expectations, so they’re willing to try something out. My guess is Conan did that show for peanuts for the first 3 years before he could negotiate a better contract.
@@atomicsmithYes and no. He was taking over for Letterman, so eyes were on him and that position.
Conan’s job was to find a permanent host. When one “couldn’t be found”, he was given the job, somewhat unexpectedly.
He wasnt A complete unknown at all. You have that very wrong.
The influence that guy's had on pop culture and for how long is a bit of a mind boggle. What a life.
Absolutely, utterly delightful. I would have never expected Conan to be so knowledgeable/invested in Nirvana and its history, but then I remember: his Late Night show was the first time Radiohead appeared on late night TV in America...he's had a very long history with alt rock and grudge.
And Conan loves history and music in general.
Conan's show was way ahead of its time in several ways. Even as a host, Conan's aggressive self deprecation and willingness to go into the absurd, whether as a bit or during an interview, are commonplace now.
oh that grudge genre, lol.
He's also a huge Beatles nerd and plays guitar.
@@ThrobbitTHE GRUDGE
my college had booked Nirvana for our Spring fling weekend. They were not the main act for the weekend and the fee was like $500. But the school also wanted to book Chris Rock who wanted more money than we had so they cancelled Nirvana to get the money to book Chris Rock. Then 'Smells Like Teen Sprit' came out. School tried to rebook Nivana, but their fee went to $25,000.
See? Now that, is an interesting story!
Don't believe you
Steve Albini's always well spoken and thoughtful, his metaphor using a runway as a precursor to life's stages is perfect. Glad to see him with Conan and the boys.
Albini's choice of words is so characteristic of him! I love the way he expresses his ideas.
To bad he was such a extreme conformist and jabbbed himself up and busted his heart
This band was everything for me. Not a week goes by I don't hear their music somewhere. I'm so proud of Krist and Dave and hope that Kurt is now at peace. Nirvana will never be forgotten. Thank you so much for this, Conan.
they are the American Beatles
@@maddymud nah they didn’t have enough time for that. But they were on the trajectory for sure
I absolutely love seeing Krist, I just wish someone would ask him about Eyes Adrift. I've been listening to that album 20-30 times year since it came out.
Dang, every time I hear these podcasts from these musicians u can really see how difficult it was for them at that time because no one would've ever known that they'd become so popular so quickly
Let Novoselic speak, for Krist's sake!
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Albini is such a legend - need a solo interview with him and Conan!
Yes. Conan asking him about “My Black Ass” is comedy that writes itself!
Krist is the bassist, not the guitarist (he’s listed as the guitarist at 2:58). Great vid, though, great convo
Conan leading the conversation between everyone in this room is an absolute dream my goodness
Try not to faint.
L7 is another great band from that era that was produced by Butch Vig and Krist Novoselic even directed a documentary about the band! Go support L7! Let's keep the remaining grunge bands alive!
I'll never forget the infamous tampon story. Lmao
I saw L7 open for Nirvana in 1993. It was Nirvana, L7, Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy and a brand new band named Hole.
She's fast, she's lean
She's frightening!!!
There's a cool live vid of them with Dave on drums. I think he was dating the bass player and he helped them out with the show.
Down in North...Hollywood...there was a guy with...long hair and...he was really...really nice...
@@MrSpeed-lt8grhow was Hole brand new when they already had a record? Aside from everyone knowing their singer was Kurt's wife, of course.
Something inside krist novoselic died when Kurt killed himself... he was never the same goofy funny guy he once was.
So true so sad
U mean when Kurt died.
Was his best friend
@@EddwardScissorhandsthere’s no proof Kurt was murdered you’re not a detective, you weren’t at the crime scene stop gossiping.
Well he’s not a drunk anymore either lol
I wish the full video episode was posted. This is such an epic interview!
Comes out monday
Already out in streaming platforms
Nirvana is a very heavy band. I remember the grunge explosion because I lived it AND Nirvana was always up there with Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots. Nirvana albums still sound new when you play them. They never really went out of style.
Props for the STP call out...
They don't get much love and often go overlooked.
Not pure 'Grunge' but very much of the period.
They made amazing music and get solid short because people called them rip-offs.
I love THE BIG EMPTY and SEX TYPE THING. great stuff! R.I.P Scott, a great frontman.@@johnohrstrom5112
The big 5 were always nirvana, Pearl Jam, STP, Alice In Chains and soundgarden.
@johnohrstrom5112 while I loved the first album, I find I enjoy their follow-ups so much more. STP really showed their growth with each album, which I love.
How does one go about comparing. . . . . . . . . . Nirvana to The PJ or STP?!! Wow, interesting take. Like three COMPLETELY different bands/styles of writing. Those who compared STP to PJ in the beginning? Yeah, not so much.
Thank you Steve! I hope that you’re hanging out with Kurt again.
I was there with my 14 years when Nevermind came out, I saw a world changing completely. I am so grateful for the existence of Nirvana. It's amazing to hear Dave, Krist and Steve nowadays.
Its time that OpenAI with their *TKP33X* is widely recognized if you dont know that already yet. 2024 and beyond will be different for everyone living and thats the first step into that direction.
I was 20 years old when Nevermind was released in 1991 & 22 when In Utero was released in 1993. The perfect age to be during this time. I was young, good looking, crazy & stagediving at Nirvana shows.
Kurt famously very much wanted Nirvana to be as successful as possible. He actively pursued it.
He wanted to be on MTV; he would watch it avidly and, notoriously, he would call up MTV and complain if he noticed that Soundgarden were getting more plays then them.
Lol soundgarden is my fave, always will be. Bitd when MTV played music videos, we had never seen anything like that. Don kirshner and midnight special was it.
Nirvana owes a lot to MTV and director of teen spirit. That's what really blew them up.
Amy Finnerty was instrumental in getting Nirvana played on MTV.
When i was a teenager in the 90s, there were a few artists and entertainers who meant the world to me, who completely resonated with my artistic sensibilities and sense of humor, and helped me get through what was a really difficult time. Conan and Nirvana were at the top of this list, so seeing this interview some 30 years later is really special. Thank you Coco, thank you Krist, thank you Dave. Love you guys
what i love about Dave is he's so calm but also knows a lot , so smart about it all , hes an animal on the drums, great interview , cant wait to find the whole fully
If you look at Kurt's old journal entries, he was actually super ambitious and wanted his band to be successful. That's a fallacy that he didn't want to be successful.
Fame is relative. I’m sure he wanted to be known in his circles not the biggest band of his generation lol
'Being successful' does not equal being insanely world famous celebrities, like they became - and still are
Some in the punk scene did go after bands who blew up. They were accused of leaving their fans. I saw it in Gilman St with Green Day. Some of it was certainly fans of one band mad at a band they decided was an "enemy" of their band being successful. That's not a scene thing, it's a fanatic thing.
That nonsense pre-dates the punk era. There were people at the Cavern Club who got it in their heads that The Beatles had sold out and were turning their backs on the Liverpool fans when they moved to London and got hit records. John Lennon said that sort of mentality came from a later generation of Cavern regulars who hadn't even been to a Beatles gig there. And of course there are those rock critics who like to create artificial categories and presumptive ideals about what music and musicians should or should be (or think or play, etc.). Bob Dylan going electric is another example, and there are zillions more. It's outsiders living vicariously through certain bands.
@@russallert True. Dylan is a good pull though that was a genre change rather than just being successful. I do think there is a parallel there in that Folk was sort of a niche genre like punk so they are maybe more protective of what is theirs ... it's maybe not so much the artist "leaving" but they are upset at the secret they thought they were "losing".
I don't think it was EVER the other artists who were upset about it.
It happens in all genres when a niche band blows up.
I still think that Metallica, for example, is the best band ever until The Black Album, which made them mainstream and not "thrash" anymore. I was a hardcore thrash metal fan when I was in high school. I *hated* it when pop music fans started liking them. LOL
I accept them for who they are now, but when I listen to Metallica it's always pre-Black Album stuff.
@@thedude4672 I saw them live on kill em all, it's still my favorite. But again that's kind of a genre change.
Dylan is still a Judas for going electric.
If you watch some of the old Nirvana interviews, Krist seemed to really step up and speak for the group when Kurt was faltering, but he seemed to be protective of Kurt. Says a lot about Krist’s character even when he was young. Both Dave and Krist sometimes just had this look in their eyes of “Not sure if what he’s going to say.” Maybe I’m projecting. But those later interviews are quite sad.
True. Although a friend of mine and I were watching some old interview with Kurt approximately a year ago and we realized how far ahead of his time he was, mindset-wise speaking. Would've been interesting to hear his take on things nowadays. BUT - nevertheless - it is so great to have the band on the podcast. Team COCO is really firing off all batteries since quite some time now, it is amazing
I think much of what the band comes for, that is primarily ascribed to Kurt, really comes from Krist. Kurt tended to be more focused on emotion and experience. Kurt was most likely to talk about politics in interviews and was pretty well versed. He was often so funny that you almost missed how insightful he was. The pairing of Krist and Kurt, to me, was the core of why Nirvana was successful. Both in terms of interviews and on stage, those two were the foundation that Dave added to.
What a true legend is Dave Grohl,he mentioned Yugoslavian car Yugo 😂 i was born in that country former Yugoslavia now Serbia,Krist Novoselic is origin by Croatia,Nirvana have to this day so many fans in Balkan.
My best friend had a red Yugo. We drove around Dallas in that thing for YEARS...
@@fauxpinkytoo 😂
This to me is amazing. I’m genuinely feeling better by listening about Kurt & the band. Love it & it’s priceless so thank you guys. Rock on….R.I.P Kurt 🕊️
I got it runnin pretty good. best thing i have ever ever ever heard on a podcast!!!!!!
Just remembered I was there when Violet Grohl sang with Nirvana! It was fun except everyone was too tall so I was jumping around in the back like a cartoon character 😂 💕
Same! 🤚🏾I was at the Boston Calling show. Had to jump to see anything.
@@ellenhenderson6865 ❤
When i was a kid. My mom gave me a silver 80s boombox with two cassette tapes. Onenbeing Aerosmiths pumped. The other was Nirvanas Nevermind album. Thats kinda been my taste in music since. I hold that album close. It brings back alot of memories.
Pump, not Pumped. I think it was Aerosmith's last decent album, though nothing can top the stuff they did in the 70s, especially Toys in the Attic
Loved this interview, terrific. The only pet peeves is that the bass wasnt talked about, considering Krist was there. Also Kurts guitar work, considering Conan is a guitar fanatic
Also disappointing when it cuts to Krist the lower 3rd pops up and identifies him "Nirvana Guitar Player" ............... I mean i guess its right
@@scuzz.y8755 yeah, i mean technically it is a “bass guitar” so idk. A bit weird but no biggie
Yeah listening to the full podcast it kinda seemed like Conan cut them off and got in the way a bit, maybe just me but I just wanna hear the other 3 talk as much as they want, I don't want to hear Conan's story
@@nzsnow9691 Personally as a Conan fan i like hearing his perspective as a fellow fan of Nirvana. But i just think the podcast could have been a bit longer. Like the John Stewart Nevermind one. Idk
Maybe the longer version is in the podcast?
I really enjoy that Steve Albini had no problem in speaking his piece and clearing misconceptions. Its far too often guests' on podcasts are a bit too timid to correct the interviewer on what may either be an insensitive question, or a misconception (especially in regards to culture, and here specifically, punk culture).
I enjoy people who aren't afraid to put their foot down to swiftly come in with a correction while still remaining kind, but self-assured. Steve Albini spoke so plentiful in this podcast throughout and it was absolutely lovely to listen to, I enjoy being able to listen to a Nirvana interview/podcast and feel happier finishing it than full of sadness. This podcast really brought a lot of joy, and it was nice to hear Krist speak more, he's been notably a bit quiet in interviews in the past (but a fantastic listener) and its nice to hear him laugh and speak so fondly of Kurt's art outside of music.
First Dave interview in years.
Happy to see him hanging in there
Hot ones one was good.
He does a ton of them. You live under a rock.
@@morbidmanmusic he hasn’t done any interviews since his Mom/Taylor died
@@user-wv5gv3dw5uhis mom died too? 😢 This poor guy
Yeah. She passed in June, I believe.
Damn, my chest hurts just thinking about his year last year.
Love seeing albini interact with Conan
How the heck did the universe put these two in the same room
Rest in peace Steve Albini
Wow, Conan talking to Dave, Kirst, AND Steve. This absolutely rules. Thanks to all involved.
Must have been insane for them. I saw Nirvana at a small club in philly and they were number 1 on the charts a few months later. Can't even imagine.
I saw them at NYC's Marquee Club a month after the Teen Spirit video came out but before Nevermind was released. I thought they were sloppy and not all that, but their songs were so catchy and were stuck in my head for weeks.
I never thought I’d see Steve Albini on Conan!
It was weird as when I got into Nirvana thanks to MTV Europe showing Headbangers Ball and my best friend who was a metal fanatic who bought albums and let me copy em on tape and at the time they were not exactly huge and then when they became huge after Nevermind all of a sudden girls and boys at my school started dressing like Kurt with a lot of lumberjack shirts, scatty cardigans and unwashed wild hair and instead of being pleased I actually got annoyed.
I was 12 so it's understandable that I got the "you weren't there in the beginning man" attitude but the main thing I hated about it was the overwhelming majority of them didn't know who Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Mudhoney where they were just blindly following who had a hit song at the time which I always found fickle
It is annoying when unique individual expressions becomes trendy
Because those people were fakes. Always annoying when something unique becomes the institution
Now compare this interview to the one Stern did with them where he would ask them a question and then didn't let them finish a single thought, so frustrating as you sat there wanting to know their answers only to get constantly cut off.
Stern is annoying. I don't know why anyone considers him a good interviewer.
I loved Stern in the 80s and 90s, before he sold his soul. He was a great interviewer then. Not afraid to ask, persistently, any questions. That guy is gone. He kisses everybody's asses now
I graduated high school in 1991, these conversations remind me of my own memories that I’ve forgotten.
How did I get this old? 😂
Great conversation, guys. ❤
Simpsons sing the Blues was one of my first albums... Way before i bought any Nirvana.. Can y'all get Conan to get those guys on the Pod?
I've loved Conan for many years now, and I know that he can be a great interviewer as well as the best comedian, but I never knew what a superfan of Nirvana he really was! This whole interview is just a major treat as both a fan of Conan and Nirvana.
I’m definitely checking out the entire podcast episode, thanks Team Coco for this interview!!! I’m a huge Nirvana fan. I didn’t know Conan loved Nirvana 🤟 dope!
This was highly enjoyable and enlightening. A lot of respect for everyone in the room there.
Thank you for these clips, so amazing
Steve Albini is an absolute legend.
Thank goodness for the Fighters of Foo. Imagine if we hadn’t had them; there’d be Foo EVERYWHERE!! I’d be covered in foo, you’d be covered in foo.
I got so excited the moment i read the title of this weeks show,. I wish this episode were 4 times longer.
This 47-yr old appreciates this, so much. Nirvana and Conan's show were everything to me, as a 17yr old. That part of the nineties was truly incredible. This episode was a fantastic conversation. RIP Kurt
Uau were on the same boat
This 47 year old feels the same😊
This is so good! I love Nirvana and I love conan it's like the best day ever
Such a great interview by Conan.
Full Interview please!!!
Great interview. Please do this with more bands please!
Can't believe the intersection of interests happening for me in this interview. Awesome stuff
I think if you saw Krist somewhere, and could point him out to a younger person who knew absolutely nothing about him or Nirvana, and told them "that guy played bass in one of the most important, most cutting edge, hippest and most dangerous rock bands of all time, they'd be like: 'That guy?!!'" For some reason, I find that really, really cool, heh...
He is a giant, Like 6 foot 5 inches or more.
@@jeffdeprey6279 Yeah, I always remember reading some story about a backstage confrontation between Nirvana and G 'N R at a MTV awards show. For some reason, the G 'N R bassist wanted to fight Krist. (Maybe he thought it should be bass player against bass player?) I'm not sure how big the bass player for G 'N R was, but I remember thinking: "I don't think you wanna mess with Krist"...He looked like he had a huge reach, and huge hands...
@@jonathanlocke6404Duff mcKagan is also very tall
Thanks for the interview!
Awesome interviews! Conan, you are the man.
I so wish that Krist would have answered that last question. I'd like to see more interviews with him.
Yeah Dave needs to shut up.
You know sometimes i'd like to hear more from Krist.
I was working in a record store when Nevermind came out. What I remember was the only ones who bought it at first were these 13-16 year old skater kids, and they ALL bought the cassette - not the CD. My friend was a DJ on the local rock station and got me a free CD (this was early on as it lacked the bonus track) and I became hooked on the album one song at a time. I'd play Teen Spirit non-stop for three or four days, then (probably) In Bloom, then Lithium... I'd never gotten into an album like that before or since. I had just turned 21 the month before and for the first time, I felt like I was listening to music of MY generation.
This was an amazing episode of Conan's podcast!
I was 17 when kurt died and I remember exactly where I was and how devastated I felt. 30 years later and nirvana is still in the top twenty on my playlist.
We are so happy for you 😂

@huubdrums everybody knows that only little bishes make comments like that online. Sorry, bish it's true.

I remember where I was too. I was sitting in my car at a corner store in Austin when I heard the news. I was on my way home. I had to stop where I was and process the news I just heard. It was so sad!
@2:58 Novoselic was the bassist of Nirvana
Thank you so much for this. In Utero is my favourite album ever!
Really good to to see you on YT! SO disappointed when big chin took over. Miss you & Ferguson's show. Would like to see the 2 of you collaborate or do a tag team, alternating series of weekly shows.
Please! Don’t apologize for your gift you have given to us ! I’m grateful that you (Dave) Chris and Curt ! Did this make the change !Create the music you have made !! You deserve everything!
Krist defending the Beatles use of funds. Love it.
that wasn't a defence!
@@blueguitar411 what would you call it?
I love these guys so much! Thank you for everything.
That’s the best conversation ive seen this year!!! BY FAR
I'm kinda surprised that with this line of questions, that the story of Kurt's Lexus didn't come up.
He basically bought a lexus and his friends gave him such a hard time for "selling out" he returned it and kept driving his volvo.
It was Courtney who bought the Lexus and Kurt immediately returned it back. No friends were involved in this.
I need the whole interview please 😢
It’s already out
@@wm1573 I want the video interview 😢
Fascinating stuff. Conan is a great interviewer too. Forgot how great he was at talking with big name guests like this.
Great interview very insightful 👍
Milk It is perhaps the heaviest angriest song ever written. I love it so much. RIP Kurt.
