    It's cool to wonder about if Dave and Kurt could've been like Lennon-McCartney, but it's also cool that even without these what ifs Dave Grohl had the strength to get back to his true passion

    • @VanishedPNW
      @VanishedPNW Год назад

      Never. Lol. Kurt Cobain was only pretending to appreciate the contribution* because the camera was rolling, behind closed doors he had unsurprisingly began to loathe the exceedingly talkative drummer (Courtney Love), and had apparently even been talking about replacing him for various reasons in the weeks before his recording In Utero. He famously had even been overheard by Grohl stating that they needed "someone more like Dan Peters). He was angry with how wordy Grohl had been in some magazine interview, apparently.
      Grohl and Cobain are from different worlds and we're (are) too different to coexist on an equal plain. Cobain was too insecure (didn't need to be) and too domineering on all things to do with his music, and Grohl is the same. They would have clashed and eventually separated, probably in 1994, honestly. But, that never was to be.

      That was poetic license by the maker of the video. Dave might have got a guitar first before a drum set but drums has always been his MAIN instrument up until the Foos. Read his book it's a great story. Only when he started the Foo Fighters did guitar become his main instrument.

    I can’t tell you how easy it was to watch and listen to your video. The reason? I wasn’t hit over the head constantly with the word “suicide.” It was used once in the beginning if I’m correct. Other references were worded with a kinder heart. I appreciate that.

      This is from an interview with Grohl a few years after Nirvana
      Your house containing everything you own catches fire. After saving loved ones and pets, you have time to save one item. What would it be?
      "Probably this letter I got from Kurt in 1992. That sounds terribly melodramatic, but it's true. I lose everything: passports, wallets, car keys, credit cards, but that letter is absolutely irreplaceable. He wrote it to me when everything was going nuts. We were all living in different places- he was in Los Angeles, I was in Virginia and Krist was in Seattle- and some decisions were being made without me. I got really bummed out and Kurt sent me this letter about my role and stature in the band. It was all, 'I love you like a brother.' It was just before we did 'In Utero' and it said, 'I can't wait to get back in the studio and make a record so we can whittle ourselves back down to a comfortable level,' Which of course never really happend."

      Yeah, no. I know it sounds like a "feel good" comment, trying to give recognition to the "outcast", but definitely wrong. Bleach is Nirvana af, raw and definitely the essence of their music, and Chad Channing was the drummer back then. No one (no one sane at least) would say Bleach isn't Nirvana. Dave added some stuff but I wouldn't even dare to say that Dave made Nirvana more than Kurt. You must be a drummer.
