    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.....

      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).

    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.

      @@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.

    Krist is a true legend. He's so smart but also hugely witty. He obviously sees deeply through how corrupt and broken the system is around him and others and uses his wit to expose and communicate that so well. All 3 had a great bond with each other. Dave is kind of learning the ropes and hence is happy to hang back , while Kurt perfectly adds to the mix and provides excellent unpredictable humorous interludes.
    Respect to all 3 as they definitely wanted to prove they don't really care about fame nor fortune and to me they carry on with the ethos of Hawkwind of being a people's band. Something very few bands ever achieved and held onto.
