These guys are funny as shit. They don’t give a shit. Hahaba
jajajaja
He got up and looked fine as he was walking up to the front of the stage to pick his drink up.
Yeah Something the twat interviewer should of known
@@SalandFindles
What was he suppose to do
"Marijuana has done more for my memory than I can remember..."
Krist's dry humor, I love it.
This guys smoke maconha?😅
That’s not just humor, that’s a genius life lesson. It’s like a poetic wax on - wax off
@@caprise-music6722 it was just a joke lol
@@blankpool I know.
@@blankpool nah bro it's deeply philosophical
"How does it compare to smaller gigs?"
"There's a lot more people"
Thanks Dave.
:)))
there's a bigger P.A.
he had a good point.... all shows "feel" the same... being on stage is like being in your own personal closet space.
"Go interview this new band called Nirvana they said. Itll be easy they said."
Lol
Dave Kendell was busy
Hahaha! No kidding.
😂😂😂😂
Hahaha
When you interview Kurt alone, you never know what you’re gonna get. If you’re lucky, you might get a fantastic, sincere interview. But if you interview the whole band, there is a 100% chance you are going to get a Krist Novoselic troll fest.
All you have to do is take the time beforehand to think of MORE INTERESTING QUESTIONS, and to be more EMPATHETIC with the band during the actual interview, so that if it obviously becomes a STUPID QUESTION that the band don't want to answer, you change tack and try to ask something a bit BETTER THOUGHT-OUT that they might actually WANT to answer.....
@@colinluckens9591 Krist still would have cracked jokes at every possible opportunity. Him and Kurt are maximum chaotic neutral vibes
@@colinluckens9591 I’m amazed looking through these Nirvana interviews at how insanely stupid the interviewers’ questions are! 100% of the questions are superficial and borderline insulting I can see why Kurt was always so annoyed.
Exactly why you never miss a Nirvana interview
the media was spectacularly bad to its super stars in the 90s.
Whenever there was an awkward silence, Krist saves the day. Brilliant
He's totally the middle child!!
Human rights activists are hot
Had a better sleep
The way he makes Kurt laugh is so endearing lol
1:04 And Dave creates the awkward silences. 😅
“Oh I’m supposed to be hurt”
Ghost funny guy 🤣
hurt cobain
I only heard it 12 times
One the best of all time😂
Eleanor, we've got to do something about this Depression... oh that's right I'm crippled
How would they get through the interview without Krist 😂
Yeah he always took the lead in these group interviews. Not a typical roll for a bassist.
pretty stupid cliche questions though the guy kind of deserved it. guess there wasnt much info out for him to study before hand but still. they literally asked if the other guy could interview them, I love these interviews with them I kind of just recently rediscovered these
Krist ruins most interviews with his babbling about people who most people watching have never heard of.
@@redplague yeah wouldnt want to learn anything from hearing someone talk about things that are new to us... listening to interviews is a great way to find new bands/movies/books etc
@@bardotons Well each to their own I guess. Personally I'd rather them answer the question that's asked rather than him going off at a tangent babbling.
Kurt never knew how cool he was. Dude had such an aura.
Yeah he was honestly pretty hot
you can just feel hes different, its something that cant be copied or learned.
I got the same ting
If he didn’t make music and he was just a regular guy and you seen him walking down the st in person you would think different hahah
@lilbopeep it’s pretty valid
Krist: "I think girls in high school, 4 years from now, will have colored hair."
well.... we wasn't wrong.
not only 4 years from 91
Mentioned the notion of Donald Trump writing songs too lol
Hahaha I had colored hair in 94 and I never went back.
and called Karen
It was against school policy but so many people would say that their hero just died & they don't care anymore that they stopped enforcing it. Not at all, I realize, unlike the transagenda victims threatening to off themselves if they didn't get to wear what they wanted.
Kurt's hair has its own life.
It has it's own planet
@@shijutu 🤣🤣🤣
My boss says I look like him at his worst.. he don’t look to bad tho so whatever haha
@@Errcyco I would take that as a compliment? He was always gorgeous in my eyes. Im sure you have been called worse? The fact he didn't even know it makes him so much more attractive. 😊
Fr lmao
the interviewer just saying "ok" whenever Krist says the most unhinged shit is comedy gold
😂😂
Interviewer: You were all originally art students??
Band: "We're high school dropouts"
Freakin love it
Priceless seeing Kurt laugh his ass off to Krist's witty jokes. I love this
Same this is the most I’ve seen him laugh a real smile lol
@@xtreme-321 very sad in a way, from here it went downhill.. from what I've read, this was the period where Kurt was the most happy with life and the band, touring with Sonic Youth, just recorded a brilliant album, but once it blew up far bigger then anyone expected, things got weird
"It'll be a household word in no time anyhow." Boy, he wasn't kidding.
And Krist and Dave didn't even laugh. They knew how good their songs were and how tight of a 3 piece they were
@@breathingunderwater3094 then got surprised on how successful the album has sold smh
@@breathingunderwater3094 not true, many bands at this time had as great or better songs and were as tight or better. to get as big as nirvana is pure luck.
This literally shows three of my personalities in Social situations
Well an introvert an ambivert and an extrovert. Same .
@@nidhiMPsta no idea what any of those words mean but I'll agree also
@Sam Myers I am myself, I’m not comparing at all you weirdo 😂
@Sam Myers That sounds like something I would say.
@@nidhiMPsta who is who’s wanna here your opinion
Crazy to think about how these 3 disinterested goobers were about 2 months away from blowing up, becoming the biggest band in the world, becoming millionaires, and having the trajectory of their lives changed forever.
Brandon S he's a legend regardless though
@@brandons8706 woah sounds personal
And by the way
Dave sucks
@@joejackson8832 dave created foo fighters
@@toxicswim8110 I know..i was just being an ass...
I just am amazed how some people actually think he's got more talent than the late great KURT COBAIN...
BOTH HOLD TALENT BEYOND NORMAL MAN..BUT IN NO WAY IS HE ABOVE KURT ON MY SCALE...
@@joejackson8832 yeah Same Kurt was the singer and he invented the biggest Grunge Band in the World and looking where he came from (aberdeen) to a 50 Dollar Millionär that's a Bug achievment so yeah Kurt is better then dave but noone sucks
I was there. I'm 62 now and still love them guys
Agree- I'm 64.
Me too 63
I'm going to turn 40 in a day. Hope I'll be here at 60, too.
Just turned 62 a couple months ago. If it weren't for living through a plague this summer, I'd be at every show & festival I could get to. Instead, I bought big speaker's so I can rock out at home.
Agreed. I'm 24
Krist is definitely the highlight of the interview imo
arthur 451 totally...the other two are wet blankets
He's the real charmer
in this interview it seems like dave and kurt were opposites in personality. Dave is polite and fairly engaged when he speaks, whereas Kurt for the most part is only sarcastic and condescending. they also don't look at each other much, even though Kurt looks at Krist all the time. This interview makes me suspect that there was tension between Kurt and Dave, and that Krist was the glue holding them all together. There are a few points when Kurt and Krist are having a "moment" and Dave looks away or has a dark look on his face. Kurt may have been slow to warm up to Dave and treat him the same as Krist. Keep in mind that at the time of this interview Kurt had known Krist for about 6 years and had already gone through handfuls of band members together with him, and had known Dave for only a year (maybe less).
@@portlandgoose4727 that's true. Kurt and Krist were close people but that doesn't make me sorry for Dave. I like them all, they were great as a band. I believe, later both Dave and Krist didn't feel so related to Kurt because of Courtney and drugs. They just were tired of that. I think they still feel sorry for that.
@@portlandgoose4727 Eh, I don't know about that. Dave was a little condescending in his eye rolls and shit. He was quiet about it but it was there.
"Nirvana will be a household word in no time" (1:50)
And Kurt was so right.
Why I laugh when I read comments Kurt didn't seek fame. He just didn't handle it well, and naively allowed himself to be surrounded by evil vipers.
Yeah agreed- once he had it, he realized he kind of hated it and didn’t want it anymore. He was always a guy full of contradictions anyway
It could also be that he wanted to be bigger just so he could share his music with a larger audience, but he didn’t actually care about the fame just reaching more people
He knew how good they were, the fame was just a matter for people to come to their senses but he couldn't have imagined the severity of what fame brought, fuck it tho Nirvana is eternal
The comedy helps to fill the void that stupid questions create.
No kidding. If I had to listen to some clueless moron drone on about the band name and ask the same stupid questions all day long I'd want to kill myself too.
@@H3nrySwans0n the mystery is solved!
@@H3nrySwans0n Yeah you said it!!🙄🙄🙄.....if you ask a question and the band obviously doesn't want to pick up on it, you MOVE ON and try to ask a MORE INTERESTING QUESTION.....
13:47-14:02 🤣😂 Kurt and Krist are hilarious.
"Ow, you broke my arm."
"Hey! Fuck you man!"
“oh i’m supposed to be hurt”
hurt copain
He did it jumping into the drum kit lol...
@@ophiuranesque WHY
"Marijuana has done more for my memory then I can remember"LMAO!!! This is pure genius
Genius? Uh no
What Genius
Kurt seems like a disinterested semi-domesticated cat. Totally done with everything there is to offer. Lah-dee-friggin-dah.
Well, not even two years later he was done with all that and wanted different things. To go a different direction musically..was done with his marriage, getting his legal affairs in order without Courtney and flying east but he didn't live long enough to do it.
He was addicted to heroin. He just wanted to escape and have his fix.
That was the early 90s, everyone acted like that.
He was just over it in general.
it was part of his act. he wanted fame - and once he got it he acted punk rock by pretending to not be interested in it. All an act..
Krist is the joker. Dave just sits there and Kurt chimes in when he feels like it lol
Every time I watch a Dave Grohl Nirvana interview I can't help but watch how Dave is mimicking an introvert, knowing how funny and extroverted he really is. I assume it's because he feels how Kurt and Krist run so deep that they have a silent bond, and Dave joined "late". Just what I read from looking at his body language and hesitation to speak, whereas Kurt and Krist seem so exempt from hesitation or fear of not being heard/understood. Perhaps Dave just trying to mimic their personalities in respect of the pecking order. Fascinates me.
You hit it right on the nail. He just really cared about what Kurt and krist thought about him especially Kurt you know he was thrid in command but he still took that band to another level they wouldn’t be the same without him idc what anybody says
And he was much younger here you change over time especially when you become the leader and frontman of your own group so that could be it too
@@kevenrowe2958 Yeah absolutely. Also just thinking how much constant interview questions about "how did you meet" "how did you come up with the name?" etc would be a constant reminder to Dave that he's not an original member, but of course he went on to fully state his place and help elevate the band massively.
I just feel like he was shy when he was younger, he had a lot of time to get used to the spotlight from the late 80’s to now. People change and they grow
Yeah definitely.
Krist is a solid bass player, sometimes people tend to forget that.
I always appreciated his playing, his melodic style worked very well.
kurt taught him many of the bass lines
So genuine. No eagerness to please the interviewer, just having fun, not a care in the world what this could/would do for their career. Beautiful. Pistols were like this, Rotten, early Oasis.
pistols were somewhat cool but were putting on an act most of the time because of malcolm and sid was an actor...ramones to me were more genuine
“Oh Im supposed to be hurt”
-Kurt cobain
Hurt Cobain..... 😁
@@brandonjohnson8635Hurt Copain
1:58 oh i supposed to be hurt
This is the most chaotic interview I've seen in my life. I love it
Kurt laughing when Krist tell something funny is the most adorable thing to watch 💞
Honestly
This band was too real and awesome for the media's bullshit
It’s a little heartbreaking to see how happy Kurt was at one stage, but it’s nice that interviews like this are around, from before he felt like he was under the microscope with a target on his back
Dave Grohl: "I haven't done drugs since I was a teenager"
RUclips: "You sure about that?" *Nirvana Interview - 1991 Reading Interview*
Now if he would just give up those skinny jeans and alcohol maybe he will stop falling.
I wouldn't believe anything Dave Grohl says about his past. There's probably tons of videos on RUclips showing him smoke pot in his 20s.
Grohl is a douche
He’s rolling a cigarette
He’s rolling a cig mate
The shy, quiet guy on the left has a lot of potential.
I think he could go on to achieve great things.
He looks like he will start a band and it will become successful
As long as he makes his sacrifice of a close friend or family member😂
He would want to smarten himself up and maybe have the manners to look people in the eyes when they are addressing him.
@@smith5796 Without belching, as he does in EVERY interview I've binge-watched for past few days.
@@kaylee4426 I know I was joking
Interviewer was wanting to die😂these dudes went full substitute teacher vibes on him 😂 I was waiting for him to break down😂😂
i think it's one of the most hilarious nirvana interviews i've seen, if not the most. Three geniuses, and Chris a real comedian, how nice, he has led the entire interview, I have not stopped laughing, Kurt was also doing badly with laughter because of the giant bassist goblin. Thank you very much for sharing.
Not Chris. Krist
''giant bassist goblin'' lmao 😂
This interview hands down shows the true friendship of these guys. Love it
2:25 kurts laugh 🥺
💗💗💗💗💖💖💝💝💕
Aaaahhh... that time you could smoke in a tent and you didn’t have to wear a face mask.
@Jennifer Lwas no
Just dont wear a mask :P Its bullshit
Go figure.... dave is rolling Drum Tobacco.
@@daBEAGLE1017 you can still do that cant you?
@@blankpool what? Roll a cigarette by hand? Of course, its the only cigarettes i smoke.
Never seen this man smile so much in an interview. True legend
Krist always comes through on a Nirvana interview .. always.
Couldn't you tell me what does "comes through" mean?
@@dinulechek . To do want one is expected to do , like in difficult conditions to be expressed . English is my second language too. Stay safe & blessings from the Sonoran desert , Mexico .
@@antoniobanderas9769 oh, thank you! Stay safe too! 🤍🤍🤍
I forgot Andy Kaufman was Nirvana's bassist
When you get an interviewer who asks such inane questions, it actually brings out a very interesting side to the band. It's like their answers need have no relation to his questions and they just freeflow stuff out of their minds. Makes for a particularly unique and intersting interview in the end.
I love how Kurt remembers how he’s supposed to be hurt 😭
Kurt would've been an amazing older man. Can't imagine the songs he would've written .
There will never be anyone else like them, they are just so unique and memorable and special and awesome
Sadly true. Nirvana was a once-in-a-lifetime band and 90s were unique.
But every person is unique
This is pure gold ! Hard to believe, it's been 30 years. The stars were lining up just right there in the early 90s.
Man, was a great time to be a teenager. Great time. A few great great bands through 80s and 90s. Have any new bands after the 90s released more than 1 or 2 albums? And I mean bands, not someone/group rhyming poetry to a beat without a single instrument.
@@highwaytoquail754 man, I hear You.
As teenagers we were all in bands. There were times in high school, when I'd be in 3 different bands.
I ask my kids, who are now high school age, if there are any bands in their group of peers and they just think I'm really old.
I wonder, what the next big thing will be.
Something has got to give.
Its not only kurt is gone its also krist's smiles gone, i have a feeling that he smile so much in those day.
Interesting observation. Such is the exuberance of youth I suppose, it doesn't last forever.
So weird watching this now as a fully grown adult, I was just a kid when I first discovered them and I thought everything they did was soooooo cool! I can see their immaturity here. But even then, you can see their heart and intelligence, especially Kurt. It was almost like he was embarrassed to be such a deep thinker and felt pressured to goof off in front of his bandmates / friends. Still love Nirvana now, even with a different perspective, they were and always will be incredible. I do think Kurt put a lot more thought into the name, and the lyrics, and all of his art, than he wants anyone to know.
I agree! People forget how hard people back then tried to look like they didn’t care and looking back it was really forced at times. Not to be negative but I just feel like people glorify these times with rose colored glasses and forget that it was a very difficult time to be a teenager and “fit in” back then.
You can see their immaturity but also can't you see how absolutely terrible some interviewers are? I mean, at some point in the interview a sane person would realize, "these guys like joking and don't want to answer the stupid questions I've come up with that they've been asked 3,489 times in the last 2 years, maybe I"ll change course".
literally found myself scoffing at all of the questions myself @@dobyblue73
Kurt says, "sit down...", in this irritated voice. Im dead.
Ikr, he almost sounds like an irritated parent telling their kid to sit still
Kurt before success, fatherhood and courtney.
Courtney ruined him
Heroin*
He was with her at this time and they literally just had their daughter
@@jackjack3722 No, Frances was born in 1992.
@@Nina-ki4ye It was Kurt's choice to leave Tracy Mirander. She cared for him like a mother.
Dave is obsessed with his hair looking good
Nah. It's something that he does. Still does today. I have really long hair & I have a few things I do with my hair numerous times a day. I just wish I could have met DG back then.
I mean he has really cool hair
"Oh, I'm supposed to be hurt!"
Any backstory on why he was faking his injury?
@@codygee9341 I think he had an accident, but it healed and he wanted to still wear a sling for a laugh.
Oh I'm supposed to be kurt
@@codygee9341 after the end of the show kurt jumped on the drum set
‘It’ll be a household word’ he doesn’t know how right he was. My fave band of all time RIP Kurt
13:52
Krist: *Falls down*
Kurt: "Ow! You broke my arm."
Krist: "Hey, fuck you man!"
so great that new full uncut videos like this are still turning up...every one gives us another glimpse into the genius. Thank you!
I like krist’s long hair
yeah it suited him better
Lautaro Lencina aww, that’s a little sad for Krist. You shouldn’t say this joke because it can come off offensive
Lautaro Lencina yeah tru
Looks like jades boyfriend in victorious
may vana omg I searched it and he actually does! 😂
"Did you know it is illegal to smoke a flower..." 🤣😂
Seeing Kurt happy and laughing makes me happy and laugh
Everyone involved looks fed up with this interview
In all their interviews it seems like they were very annoyed answering questions about details that could be left for interpretation. It was probably a requirement to do it, nothing they would do by choice.
@@sethp1624 Exactly. Like, I can tell you what my song means to me, but I'd rather hear what you have to say and what you think this line is about and so on
People want to know and define everything when you should just let art be.
It was part of the style at the time. You were obliged to get annoyed at the interviewer.
Seth, they chose to do it... it’s called selling out... all good, but maybe kirt could haved enjoyed the perks, Instead of pretending to be so anti. They went corporate commercial. $$$$ Big bucks... kert suffered from Imposter Syndrome. Just admit it Ted.
Cameron from Ferris Bueller really carries this interview
Hahahahah YES! Identical 🤣🤣🤣 just noticed that
"It will be a household word in no time."
How right Kurt was...
8:20 awww
Best part of nirvana is that they are real on camera
hey krist is wearing a dinosaur jr shirt
Duh
Dave is so beautiful
🤣🤣🤣
@Casey storen, I agree. Whether yesterday or today. I just wish I could have met DG back then. I would have rocked his world. Still would...
Personally, I believe he's not attractive in the slightest.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Especially that fkd up jaw and that he belches in EVERY interview I've watched with him.
8.19-8.25 mins or so literally personifies the relationship between these 3 amazing young men in the time they were in
It's literally as emotional and sentimental as men of their time could ever be
I've literally bawled my eyes out to that moment on repeat
Precious doesn't even come close to describe the magic between these three that will be everlasting due to their combined legacy
drink a glass of water every time kurt says “oh i’m supposed to be hurt”. you will be hydrated
Kurt was in happy period, so good to see him in these moods. I read this was the happy Nirvana period, right before it went massive.
i love the interviewer’s patience
lol
kurt laughing here and there is so satisfying
I just became a nirvana fan, like today and I heard Kurts voice like the second he opened his mouth I fell in love
Serve the servants, school, sifting, about a girl, dive, scentless apprentice and floyd the barber are all basically unknown songs to people just getting into them or to the outside viewer but these are some of my favorites. You should listen if you already love them!
lol hes dead
@@shid6930 ikr hehe
HARRRRY AND KURT
Just listen to everything
.... It eon take long to do.
14:14 "Sit down. Sit down! Sit on the floor!"
Idk why but the way Kurt said that was funny
"It will be he household word in no time” -kurt
Well he was painfully correct
And Still! All these years later. My 10 year old loves Nirvana.
The feeling that you knew you had a hit on your hands- I've heard this was the best period of being in Nirvana before it changed the world.
Watching a nirvana interview is so uncomfortable lmaooo
@Mara L why?
Mara L why they’re literally all best friends and love messing with the media
Cuz Kurt’s dead ^
And Dave is loud now
Also Krist isn’t lively anymore
This is awesome!
Thank you. Needed this.
Lmao the comment below
He was a beautiful man
“Punk is just money”
Dave was the little brother for sure
@@grahamjarman 75% man
I can really tell they were thrilled to do this interview.
I WAS CRACKING UP THE WHOLE TIME WATCHING THIS & THE WAY KURT & KRIST REACT & THEIR INSIDE JOKES...😉👍
LOVE SEEING KURT CARE FREE & HAPPY!!
R.I.P. KURT MISS YOU EVERY DAY...💕😢🎸🎵🎶
😊😊😊
Miss a guy you never knew? Ok.
@ropey bird uh. No
Nirvana is on the verge of exploding and are just enjoying the early fruits of success. What a beautiful moment
marijuana has done more for my memory than i can remember- Krist Novasellic
Dave was absolutly the outsider
Sitting on the edge rolling his joint 😂
He was new to the band there. Kurt had only just fired Chad Channing.
With a letter that basically said, “You’re not in the band anymore. Bye”
@@oddunb6190 1990 he joined
@@oddunb6190 no Krist and Kurt both drove to Chad's house to break the news to him
Dave has said he lived in constant fear of being fired by Kurt. That's why he always stayed quiet. Who can blame him, Dave was like the 6th drummer or something.
Amazing! thank you from Lima PEru
Nothing more comforting than watching a nirvana interview in the early days while rolling a joint
11:43 is so fucking funny, and the way the interviewer just says “..ok” after all of that
"What if Donald Trump wrote good songs? You wouldn't listen to em? You know, I think I'd listen to em." - Krist Novoselic 10:15
Kurt: Hahahahaha
Back then even IRON MIKE was cool with Trump
And look at the faces of Grohl and Cobain when he said that. They didn't agree did they?
Its like finding out one of the Beatles liked Hitler.
@Nexus Six Except that in 2020 Krist thanked Trump for using troops on protestors. So,his political views are not the same as the two guys who made him wealthy.
@Nexus Six In case you didn't know..that quote of Krist has on the internet turned into Kurt saying "Donald Trump would make a great president instead of politicians". Google that. Nirvana's manager even answered that Trump is the antithesis of everything Kurt Cobain stood for.
So,we must shine a light on Novoselic now,to end that lie.
What a gem!💎
This interview never gets old.
I love this interview! They’re so entertaining
Oh I’m supposed to be........ Kurt.
They’re so chaotic😹
I LOVE ITTTTTTTT
Then Dave went on to become the great Alanis Morrisette, very talent
LOL
Not really, but he stole her drummer
😂
I love how they trolled and hated the media. And for good reason!
they didn’t hate the media, and having a sense of humor is not trolling like johnny rotten could be argued of doing. you are just projecting your own wishes.
And now all their shirts and hoodies are sold at Walmart and Target worn by girls who only knows Smells like Teen Spirit…
i feel like sometimes krist and kurt roll their eyes when dave says dorky things 😂
It was like a game of poker and Dave was just sitting there with a Royal Flush the whole time.
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG interview. Nirvana is the coolest band ever, no other band's interview can come close to how cool this is. This is it, the coolest interview by a band of all time. Take notes, young aspiring bands.
If they take notes then they will just imitate... and pose... and continue being lame.
@@pjrosello well I'd like to think some young band would write down in their notes "emmanuel lewis has the most amazing vocabulary"
I said the same things as those who never seen Nirvana at 21 years old about the doors and beatles then i figured i drown my sorrows by seeing AIC, Nirvana, STP, Pearl Jam, etc in the early 90s to forget about it all.
Imagine the stories you will tell younger generations about the "Idols" you seen when you were wishing to see nirvana.
Because they are natural and not full of shit.
I like the ambience background sound, makes you feel like you were there
Interviewer: “How does it compare to smaller gigs?”
Dave: “To smaller gigs?”
Interview: “Yea”
Dave: “There’s a lot more people”
Lmaooooo
