![October 25, 1991. [INTERVIEW] Nirvana](/img/1.gif)
Cobain was 23 years old here.
yes...and it looks healthy.
This is 2 weeks after recording the Smart Sessions in Madison with Butch. Nevermind in its embryonic stage pre-Dave Grohl. They were nearing the cusp of so much change and so much success right here.
It's nice seeing Kurt happy and himself.
Pre-Courtney
i mean this was before every one like him no one recognized him in public. he had a normal life. not just courtney he also had fame that he didnt like aswell
@@_dt_rrr also it was pre-heroin, he didn't start shooting heroin until later in 1990, definitely started to change as a person as his addictions got worse and worse
Amen!!
@@blonkeddleharvey2308 🤡
Krist to kurt "are we environmentalists " kurt: "Sure , environmentalists are hip"
15:19, "yea chad, your the next to go" 😂. Poor chad got booted. Also, crazy how different Kurt is in later interviews. He is so young and lively here. Media and fame really drained the f outta him (one baby to another says...)
Also, heroin
Lively?
I dont understand this comment. Overall, he's exactly the same in later interviews. The subject matter is usually quite different, but he's the same. He's in a good mood here. There are interviews where he's in a good mood in '91, '92, '93 and even the very last (Naardwar), he's in as good a mood as you can be while being abused by Naardwar
Love these old laid back interviews. A very missed dude and band.
7:20 Crazy to think that Kurt's record collection is probably still floating around out there and whoever has one of them doesn't even know it.
Kurt was so damn attractive.
I know, and he never thought he was.
:(
Dude really had it all, just didn’t know it.
Incredibly handsome, beautiful
Angelic beauty
His smile was/is always striking. Such a beautiful smile.
He was an adult when I was a kid, and a teenager.
In middle age now, he seems a boy.
I’ve seen every bit of nirvana footage, every single bit! Not this though this must be recently unearthed thank you!
This just another example of the fact that these guys were funny as hell. Always a funny remark and some wise crack if they get a stupid question. They also show that they are smart and known how the world is put together. I really identify with what they say about small town mentality as I grew up in a shithole like Aberdeen myself. Man I wish I could have knows they were gonna be around for such a short period. I would call them up and pay to be their roadie, or just follow them around the world. That is my dream.
Ps. So funny to see people who smoke. I smoked for 16 years before I quit and back them most of my friends did smoke. It was so common, and now it's so rare.
They're not funny but they told a ton of mediocre jokes.
I wish i could grab kurt after this interview and say hey man fight for your life and stay here with us ...
Don’t marry that Love bitch

Thanks for the upload friend
Cool interview! Thanks for that!
Thank you so much for sharing this! Nirvana! Kurdt and Krist priceless legacy ❤️
Great quality, thanks
Thanks for sharing this video. It nice to see them back in the good old days. ❤
Damn! Thank 4 this!
Awesome interview from that years, they talking about old songs,Jason Everman, Jack Endino ,Butch Vig and even they make jokes of mainstream rock, and paradoxically is what they became
MUCHAS GRACIAS ❤️
I love when Kurt breaks out the smokes, Krist and Chad both perk up and tunnel in on the pack like dogs at the food bowl. Starving artists caught on film. This is actually a great interview, despite the interviewer, and one that I'd not seen before, somehow.
Nirva-na-na sounds like a great band. Great interview. Happy times.
15:18 damn, Kurt just went full savage mode on chad
Hahaha
This is amaaaaazing !!!
Thanks
before the heroin i believe, that started in 91, before the big fame, how he wanted to be. You can see how healthy and happy he looks
Nah, he was consuming heroin - maybe not shooting it, but definitely “doing” it - from 1987. He became a full-fledged addict in the early 90s though.
Yes, so sad, fu...drugs😢
He did heroin way before then hence the album named BLEACH
holy shit! this is incredible!
Fresh faced, lucid and unjaded ❤
I whant to be there talking to Curt about music and life Curt is a deep sensitive man miss him ❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯🚶🎸🎸🎸🎸
While you glaze over how he is treating his band mate here? I assure you Kurt is not wearing a halo above his head here but you seem to see one. LOL!
Kurt looked so happy and healthy in 1990...
15:18 “you’re the next to go!!” Ouch
It happened
Love it
i love how they talk about falling in love with each others fathers in this interview and the other one on the same day. it must be one of those things if you repeat it enough you believe it.
You know that was sarcasm, right? They were both abused by their dads.
This is lovely
Never seen this. recently surfaced??! wow
Taper uploaded it
Love his smile, though.
Kurt is so hansome and gentleman... so sweet
At the end you can hear Big New Prinz by The Fall playing in the club behind them. Not sure why, but I fucking love that.
It is so lovely to see Kurt so stable and fun here. It kinda makes me mad at him for ever putting a needle in his arm. Here he is clean, happy, has direction, is achieving goals and living his dream. Why couldn't that have been enough?
Have you ever had morphine pills or such after a surgery or something ? You are definately "stable". You don't see pink elephants. I've never tried LSD but i don't think you see pink elephants then either. What is this shit about "stable" ? Oh - you are a stable moron. And there's NOTHING you can do about it ! Sorry..... Genes, huh ? Now THAT'S stable for ya ! HAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAA
Fame can fuck one up.
He had already shot heroin by this point I believe
He was in chronic pain, both physical and emotional. That wears you down and he thought he found a solution in heroin.
His family has a long history of addiction and suicide. He was always behind the 8 ball.
Anyone listening to Channings current band 'Before Cars'?
Nice (Kurt) shout out to Hardcore Punk legends D.O.A. ! (later they played 2 shows with them in 1988, so i'm sure he made his $12 back to re-buy those albums he sold to see them live in 1987) @7:20
34yrs ago today dude
You notice that they're a lot more sincere in their early interviews. After Nevermind, they deliberately appeared more apathetic because they didn't want to be seen as sellouts
3:17 ❤️❤️
“Yes chad…..you’re next to go “ 😂…….
NEW FOOTAGE!
15:34 "I'm such a shitty guitar player" lol
Is that Fugazi in the background???
So innocent .. 4 years later, he would be dead. So sad. #RIP Kurt.. #mfilesband
A pesar de todo lo que sé sobre Kurt Cobain y Nirvana, no me queda claro si él deseaba alcanzar la fama o no. Todo parecía indicar que sí. Y luego la fama llegó y adoptó la pose de que no la quería. Es algo que no entiendo a la fecha. Kurt, we all miss you.
For all I know he wanted to be successful with his music (which doesn't necessarily mean becoming mainstream) but ended up getting way more than he ever wished for. Kurt had internal conflicts because he felt like a sellout and, well fame is a bitch, imagine not being able to go anywhere without everyone recognizing you and treating you differently. It's just one of those things you only understand that has a really bad side once you get it..
I been to this club they closed it down though its was in Boston Massachusetts

Is that Fugazi playing on 12.30? Were they playing on the same stage or same festival?
He is so cute~ ❤❤

I don't care what anyone says, or even what Kurt said and did about booting Chad. They seemed like a naturally tight unit with Chad. Too bad he didn't get to practice. Nevermind was mostly Chad's stuff anyways. Shoulda kept him around. Not too mention Chad is a fucking killer musician that puts Dave's shit to shame. Before Cars people. Give it a listen.
I'm interested in using this clip for something - can someone please get in touch?
Does anyone know what Fugazi song is that at around 12.41? Thx
Promises
Mom and dad got me drinking wHiSkEy
I remember smoking those export A cigarettes always gave me a vicious headache
I want to know what "few" songs Jason liked that they didn't want to record.
What a difference this is from interviews after Nevermind
They are so funny
Like an average highschooler funny
What did Chad say at 12.50 or so? And kurt said something to him back. What did they say?
Chad: "Environment. There ya go. I love re-lit cigarettes. These are the best tasting."
Kurt: "Big tits." (In response to the interviewer's question about what inspires you.)

Crazy to think he be dead in 5 years ..

It's sad to see Kurt openly showing so much contempt for Chad here. Which by the way is the smoking gun death nail of any human relationship. It's kind of rare to see this kind of behavior in a video, the ugly side of human behavior that people usually like to hide, but it makes a perfect example of the point above. It would have been good for Chad to have walked away from the band himself and not tolerated this behavior but who can blame him? They're all so young at the time anyway.
In bands, these sorts of dynamics are not uncommon. My feeling is Kurt behaving that way to Chad there was probably a lot of Kurt's insecurities and other emotional issues at the time being wrongly misguided towards chad. I doubt it was simply that Chad's drumming wasn't up to par or whatever they may say. I think Kurt was lashing out at Chad for other reasons that had little to do with Chad and more about Kurt himself.
An actual lucid and intelligent comment on RUclips? Wow this is rare. But, yeah. i perceived the same things you did. The whole "You're the next to go" line honestly shocked me as an empathetic person. The only way I could rationalize it in my head (As a biased Nirvana fan) is that Kurt and Krist were extremely aware of the conversational dynamic at play and how Chad would often "Contradict" them, maybe they were looking for someone who could assimilate into the group a little better. However, I don't see any of the emotional issues that you are apparently seeing, Kurt seems relatively stable at that moment in time, it was before both his addiction and stardom.
What really got me about what Kurt said is that he seemed to have known the leverage and power he held, he also says things such as "it's hip to be environmentalist now isn't it?" and "I learn everything i know on MTV" (The latter probably being in jest.) Which also brings into question the genuineness of a lot of Kurt's positions, almost hinting that it's purely performative.
This interview, in the anthology of Nirvana interviews is certainly unique and the most insightful. I wonder what Krist and Chad thought when they first saw this.
I disagree. They are just sparring. And to be fair, when Chad was booted, Kurt and Krist had NO IDEA what was about to happen to them. Dave played on Nevermind. So even though they replaced Chad, at the time, there was always the chance that Chad could have auditioned with and ended up in a bigger band. I mean Jason ended up in Soundgarden.
Godd so extra🙄 , and for what? This was nothing about insecurity or whatever, they were clearly joking around, this wasn’t “lashing out” at chad or an ugly side of kurt lol just say you want anything to twist the narrative of it and project your insecurities into kurt
@@canadariots1139 yall analyzing his comments too much , he had a sense of humour, you know. just like any other human being he isn’t perfect and gonna give you all the correct answers because he’s sarcastic and clearly loved joking around so don’t take everything too serious smh plus he didn’t knew the power he had 💀🙄
Chad does come across as kind of annoying. And they did mention that it was difficult to get him to practice because he had to take the ferry over.
I gotta save some battery space
Wicked Plush bet he wished kept filming lol

Ah... the trademark passive aggressive sarcasm of the PNW.

"chad's the next one to go!" and that he was...
Kurt starts coughing then pulls out a cigarette. 😅 Export A Medium lol ...cigarettes with clout. His autopsy says necrosis of the liver. Explains why he wasn't thinking well.

Didn't spend more then 2 hours mixing any song on bleach

FUGAZI in the background!!!
Kurt look handsome.. Before famouse and before meet Courtney. After Kurt Married. He look like zombie lazy
15:16 You’re the next to go lol
You could actually see Kurt's resentment towards Chad throughout the whole interview. He gave him that shut up you stupid moron look several times. So funny.
@@Tomnedreb Yeah definitely noticed that as well. Love your covers btw!
@@Tomnedreb Actually it's not funny. It's sad but yes you see the contempt in Kurts face for Chad.

Interview before Nevermind was much more tolerable
The good times before the dark days, before Courtney Love
Google says he met Courtney a few months before this video. So still early days....
You can’t blame every bad thing that ever happened to him on Courtney. She may not have helped the situation, but she wasn’t the cause. Mental illness was the cause, exacerbated by heroin.
@@ruthie8785 Child abuse, which caused the mental illness, was the cause.
@@ruthie8785no we can blame just about everything on that ghoul. What we can question to a high degree is someone who might try to protect that ………..
Siento que hay le dolía mucho su estómago y ya sentía incomodidad
Y es por eso que se fuma un cigarro y comienza a moverse de aburrimiento
15:18 not Wrong
Dave grohl looks kinda different here
Was Kurt depressed at this time? Because at sometime during the 15 minute mark he frowns and stares at the ground and krist is talking and looks at Kurt and Kurt smiles then krist looks away and Kurt looks back down and frowns. Or am I mistaken?
watch the video again and please update us with an accurate time stamp since I’m also interested to see what you’re talking about.
Thanks
@@BERLEBLE16:02-16:10
@@lukesarinana565 Just listen to what's being said. It's not hard to understand Kurt's mood there. Krist was talking about things that Kurt thought of as private and Kurt was embarrassed.
Isn't it T.T.'s ? Man Ray didn't have shows unless it was a goth relics from europialisiti .T.T.s was punkrock and so am I.
16:08 Kurt didn’t like that
chad should have been the drummer all the way through..
Corporate Magazines Still Suck, Still
check the record check the record check the guys track record HE IS NOT APPRECIATED
I love my self better than you
You know it’s wrong, but what can you do?
smoking is so bad for you your lungs are not designed to be filled with smoke
Is it worse than the nano particles you’re breathing in? How about dem phthalates, yo…
Eh, smoking feels good in the moment. Not everything humans do is rational.
@@bigbowlowrong4694 i love smoking but quit because i dont want to be an old man who can't walk up the stairs without having to sit down and cough for ten minutes and who can't get an erection
