- Chad Channing drummed for Nirvana between 1988-1990 before being replaced by Dave Grohl. In this video Chad reveals the real reason he was fired from the band. And i go in-depth talking about the reasons Chad left and what new drummer Dave Grohl offered the band that Chad couldn't. Parts of my research for this video were made from reading "Heavier than Heaven" the book by Charles R. Cross. And the remainder is my own thoughts & commentary on Chad vs Dave and the skills each possesses.

Even though Chad Channing was kicked out of Nirvana, He still has nothing bad to say about Kurt Cobain. Chad. Seems like a cool dude
I live 17 miles away from Kurt's home town of Aberdeen Washington. I have ran into Nirvana's first drummer Aaron Burkhardt a few times. He's pretty much homeless and blames it on kurt Cobain for kicking him out of the band. What a joke
@@chadotto6275 Maybe he needs help. You didn't thought about that?
@@chadotto6275 isn't Aaron Burkhart the one that got in trouble with authority?
That's some Chad on Chad love going on there. But yeah, he's humble as hell.
@@nataszasuarez6243 Maybe you need help
Chad not being present at the Hall of fame was wrong. He deserved to be there. Kind of upsetting as a Nirvana fan.
@@stanknugget he’s not though troll
Justice for Chad, Mkay
Its not, guy didnt play whole album, i still dont understand how he wasnt able to play Paper cuts or Negative creep, even i know to play it and im not drummer or musician
@@stanknugget as an original nirvana fan I assure you you are wrong.
@@vilimbubas1302 how did he play them live on tour then? Please explain. I seen him play three times with them he was as good as grohl but more handsome than Curt.
It feels like he handled it like a champ. He could have been pissed and talked all kinds of shit but he took the high road. My hats off to him
@Tony Angel lmao! I bet he hates his guts after 3 beers.
Russell White or he’s had a lot of time to think about it
He did get royalty's from bleach so it seemed fair
Yah, like Mustaine
neuroxik Totally. At least Dave had Megadeth. I know Chad went on to play with other bands but nothing THAT big.
The last thing a drummer says before he's fired "Hey guys, I wrote this song I want you to hear."
-Dave Grohl
Good thing Neil Peart never said that
@@markbaguley4560 Phew, that was a close one...or Danny Carey
I wonder if that also applies to Don Henley or Phil Collins
@@littlekingtrashmouth9219 I'm pretty sure Phil was untouchable.
Ringo: "hey guys"

I think the coolest thing was the rock n roll hall of fame induction. Dave Grohl giving Chad Channing credit. That was awesome!
Dave and Chad, they’re both cool dudes! 🤘🏻
Chad should have been inducted not credited, they qualified for induction for a single Chad drummed on!!
Owen Michael Roberts Didn’t Chad play on Bleach?
@@DIYTFY yes, he also played on the Love Buzz single which is what allowed Nirvana to qualify for the hall of fame
Agreed. Even better he specified that he came up with the “in bloom” beat.
Chad represented underground Nirvana, Dave represented mainstream pop Nirvana. Obviously both have their place in history
totally agree. love them both, bleach is my favorite album tho
Well said.
Chad is underrated in all honesty. Listen to his drumming on “Scoff”. Very, very good.
Yes
Believe it or not, but Chad actually played the drums, ( well cymbals) on Polly in the album Nevermind
Most of Bleach, Nevermind and Incestiside drums are from Chad
Yes but you can’t compare him to Dave😂
Well Dave is underrated as a guitarist
Chad is a cool guy, for being so humble about it all.
From a musician's perspective, the difference between Channing and Grohl is that while Chad came up with many drum parts that really define a lot of early Nirvana tunes, he didn't have quite the technique needed to make them great. His sense of time is all over the place; his arms rush the beat while his foot can't stay in time. Grohl knew how to make it swing, and his time is right on the money. If you listen to live recordings from the Chad era, by the end of sets he sounds very tired and keeps slowing down, whereas Grohl kept great time all night long. You can give Chad a lot of credit for coming up with the syncopation and the parts that define the songs on Nevermind, but Grohl plays Chad's parts with much more accomplished technique. Another good example is "School." Listen to the Bleach version (Chad), which is a great drum part that defines the tune. But then listen to live versions of Grohl playing Chad's part -- he makes it swing and his time is better. He also hits a lot harder.
i don't know mate
honestly i feel that chad had some decent techniques about him that made him a different drummer than Grohl
not saying he is danny carey or matt cameron godly level
but he was a decent drummer
@@GothicXlightning He was decent enough, and the drum *parts* that he came up with really define the songs in a lot of ways; he just doesn't have as good chops as Grohl. The most obvious thing is his time. It's all over the place. The other thing I notice is he hits the snare ahead of the beat but the kick drum is usually behind the beat, so there's this kind of sneakers-in-a-dryer sound to his playing sometimes - I think it's most obvious on the studio version of "Blew" on Bleach. Grohl has said many times he's just playing Chad's parts on Nevermind, which he learned off the demos. He's just got better technique and can hit the drums generally better than Chad.
M White yes exactly. Thanks for putting words to this; there are so many people that are weirdly defensive of Chad on here it’s just like: it’s ok if you like him but he’s objectively sloppier and plays with less charisma than Dave. The whole band is sooo much tighter with Dave playing
That’s funny, because in Everett True’s Nirvana biography, Steve Turner and Matt Lukin from Mudhoney say they preferred Chad’s drumming to Dave’s in Nirvana because Chad “had more swing”, whereas Dave’s style was more aggressive.
He became a lot better later on with Fire Ants and The Methodists though, you wouldn't know it's Chad if you weren't told it's him.
Bleach is still my fave Nirvana album by far, and Chad's drumming is a big part of it.
I read somewhere, when Chad lost his dog of several years he spiraled a bit & his playing suffered. Apparently he really loved that little Dachshund.
If you've never had a daschund then you'll never no they are you best friend baby and world best dogs ever
@@californiapoontappa couldnt agree more. They're truly a special breed
@Diana Moore So true. I have a cat who died nearly two years ago, and we were very close. I still well up sometimes thinking about him and still haven't gotten another.
They really are a great dog, some of them just aren’t good around kids
There's actually a video of Nirvana with Chad playing Lithium and Chad had his dog's coffin in front of his drum set.
He holds a place in music history. Solid drumming on the raw foundation of a "new" genre previously known as R&R. The '87 -90 live shows and Bleach were Grunge unincorporated.
Imagine a show, Nirvana songs, Dave ghrol on guitar and vocals, chad on drums, and krist on base, make it happen🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘
@CHAD k
@CHAD it would be Foovana
Dave Ghrol can't sing Nirvana's songs. Not even close...
I feel like Chad added a lot of "color" to the early nirvana songs
gave the band a jazzy twang imo
Colour*
Kodi Latham nope both are correct in different countries
@@dominoespizza1756 You idiot 😂
Kodi Latham lmao
The Rock and roll Hall of Fame will always be dogshit to me for how they handled Chad Channing
By just ignoring him basically and not inviting him? That was cool how grohl mentioned him and thanked him though.
@R!OT EARTH That is insane! I've honestly never heard anything good about them or the way they run things, but I didn't know that specifically. I hope it's on here, I'll take a look around for it. Edit : Wow, what douche bags they are. I'm happy he let it be known what's actually going on there...in his words "nothing special" lol
@R!OT EARTH Lost all respect for the rock & roll hall of fame after. It's a bunch of baloney.
The fact that bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden aren't in the Hall Of Fame but Green Day is tells you what a pile of shit the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame is anyway
No doubt
I see chad “locally” all the time. Grocery store, small pub/cafe etc. cool to see Him still in the area
Woah cool? Hows he doing?
Seems good? I don’t usually bug him. Talked with him for a bit on a ferry ride to Seattle once. Just a nice dude
What area? I live in Ocean Shores, Washington. About 18 miles away from Aberdeen, Washington
I see Aaron Burkhardt, Nirvana's first drummer from time to time around Aberdeen Washington
@@chadotto6275 whatever happened to Burkhardt?
I always wonder what it would have been for Chad to see Krist and Kurt on MTV, just a year after he got kicked out of the band...
Had to suck big time considering he made the beats of alot of nevermind songs. dave just played them better
I would have been depressed like the guitar player and songwriter of the Gin Blossoms... Maybe it would've been the beginning of the end of my life if that happened to me. Thank God Chad is humble and is well liked.
Same
At least his got his head
At least his got his head
I really loved Bleach, it was a completely different kind of album than what they'd put out later, but a big part of Nirvana history. The fact that Chad wasn't included is just stupid, but as many other commenters have pointed out, the r&r hall of fame is just pretty terrible and disrespectful even to the main inductees, their band mates, and the families who would like to see their dads or relatives get inducted. $10,000 a ticket ! No excuse for that.
No way?!”...
Bleach is my favorite Nirvana album.. And everything pre Bleach is amazing too
It's good to see so many people giving Chad the credit due. It's hard for many drummers to get recognition, especially when the album you record with the band who breaks out on a different album later on. For years I thought my influence as a drummer was only from Grohl in terms of Nirvana(or at least primarily in knowing Chad was on Bleach) and it wasn't til later I realized the influence I got was more from Chad than I had known when for example, realizing he had wrote much of the drum music for Nirvana. So THANK YOU CHAD for your influence. You've impacted me and my style. In my bands music, there are definitely some hints of Chad as well as Grohl of course, that can be heard in my drumming. Hats off to you Chad!
"The REAL REASON" = what is generally reported to be the case
It's a pure click bait title 😂
I think he put that in because there's a lot of confusion around why chad left.
I heard it was bc kurt wanted him to take drum lessons
@@kashmyaadventures I thought it was because it wasn’t the style that Kurt was looking for
If Kurt thinks you’re a slacker, then you’ve got issues. Apparently Chad was too grunge for Grunge.
Actually Cobain and Novoselic were very dedicated musicians. They practiced a lot.
Kurt wasn't a slacker. He was just extremely focused when on music. Krist says that they treated rehearsals like a job.
Lol good one !!
No it sounds like Kurt was being too picky
Best comment on here
Dave Grohls drumming was one of the biggest pieces that improved their sound and took them to the next level. That and Kurt's continuing progression in regards to his amazing songwriting.
Uh that would be Butch Vig engineering and Geffen deciding to invest heavily in the marketing of the band. Without those 2 and mainly the latter, none of this happens. 2nd i believe the real reason they got rid of Chad was because of Butch Vig... Kurt wanted to make it big and Vig said this is what you need to do. I dont think Kurt knew it was going to get as big as it did and then thought this shit is not worth it. I also dont believe he killed himself. I think it was a collaboration betweeen investors and Courtney love. They all could see the light at the end of the tunnel and insurance pays well as do after market album sales. Sounds cynical but these people have a gross mentality.
That's weird though because Chad got Nevermind off to a start. There was only one studio Nirvana album after that, and Dave Grohl on his own sucks. Chad worked on two Nirvana albums, and Dave worked on two.
@@alukuhito All the drums on nevermind are Dave Grohl Chad did those demos with Big and that's it. The way Grohl hit his drums and his use of the kick drum and the power he hit them with was an improvement. There's an interview with Cobain where he talks about adding Dave how he has been looking for the right guy and finally found by him. Hell look at the intro into teen spirit the first song on the album you here that difference right before it kicks in.
@@83reggieT But David doesn't have any soul. Who cares about technical perfection? That's not what music's all about.
@@alukuhito He's still a better drummer than Chad fucking Channing.
Great to see that CHAD HAS NOT BEEN FORGOTTEN.
Gotta love his humbleness and kindness and most importantly calmness with level headedness being outed when it may have not been entire deserving he's a hell of a nice heavenly guy who took being fired and let go from the greatest job in the workforce quite swell. What a character shown through bright light.
Kinda sad.. Chad was a cool dude, but you just gotta move on when you know it's time I guess
Dave grohl has praised chad for his input into shaping nevermind stating when he joined the band & they started rehearsing chad had already laid down the drum parts & he added there wasn't much for him to do
By all accounts it was an amicable split. There's a clip of Nirvana being interviewed outside a festival where they actually say hi to Chad. The whole idea of Kurt being an unspoken creative dictator does seem to be corroborated by numerous sources. Not just Chad, but Dave Grohl and Jason Everman have said similar things. Nirvana was truly Kurt's band.
Yes. In all honesty the public persona of Kurt Cobain is just another media product. He liked to whine but he was kind of a jerk but one of those people who hide it well. There is a lot of shit that happened that we will never know about like for example Krist not comming to his wedding. His best friend he knew from childhood There was shit going on that we will never know about. I bet if he lived in this era with cameras and recordings everywhere - would know a very different Kurt.
All we know is from few recordings Kurt being this likeable weirdo (pre Nevermind) or likeable stoner (after Nevermind) before the cameras. But make no mistake he was acutely aware the camera were rolling.
Im not saying anything but also I highly susspect he was that good of a person. In those days lots of shit went behind closed doors. Especially him being around shady people with drugs and everything. not much is know about his drug dealers etc.
We practically dont know much about Kurt when I think about it. All we have are some interviews, people's accounts some short video clips to judge.
All we have is accounts of others in front of the camera which mean jack shit.
I think he was very unfair to some people like his father but then again when I think about it he died at 27. He never even got to mature as a human being... Its sad at the end that's what it is.
You may be right -- some accounts I've read said that when Nevermind was at its peak and they were touring and making bank, Kurt wanted to fire Dave Grohl for playing "too heavy metal" or something.
There are also many stories of Nirvana gigs when they were just starting to hit it big but were still booked in clubs. I can't tell you how many eyewitness accounts I've heard about what a total asshole Kurt was, throwing tantrums and acting like a complete jerk to everyone at clubs. There's video of the Texas club gig where Kurt hit the security man in the head with his guitar, and the guy responded by punching Kurt, which stopped the show for about 30 minutes. The whole show is on video and Kurt is acting like a spoiled brat for most of it. He seems absolutely insufferable. Others who knew him said his worst quality was his self-pity in the face of massive success, which he sabotaged every chance he got, by showing up to gigs wasted, trashing gear, and just being miserable to everyone.
The thing that constantly upsets me and keeps coming back is just how great they were, but how little time they had. Same for Hendrix… when I think just what they could have done if they’d had longer careers, it really bums me out just how much music we’ve lost out on.
He’s the Pete Best of the 90’s
Thatd make Dave Ringo
Gurtiss Staggolee yeah Ringo and George mixed
I was just thinking that. At least Kurt and Krist had the decency to tell him to his face. Whereas the Beatles had their manager do it.
Nah, Pete best never played on anything of note for the Beatles. Chad is on both Bleach and Incesticide.
Dave is awesome, but what Chad did on bleach was genius.
Yes.. I'm getting his signature soon...
Poor guy doesn't get enough credit.
Lol genius, he hits shit with sticks to a rhythm and beat.
@@wolfech1 but he had a way better feel than dave.
@@wolfech1 meanwhile ur beating ur meat lol
Chad hits the drums just as hard and loud as Dave! Chads drumming definately made up a huge part of what was and still imo is Nirvana's sound! Dave just took over! Bleach is and always will be my favorite Nirvana album! Insesticide a close 2nd😱
Insesticide share the first place for me.
No
i'm sure he did alright out of the bleach royalties. seems a cool guy who doesnt hold a grudge, so good luck to him
I remember 1994 as if it was yesterday. I miss Kurt. Not gonna lie
you remember the 90's/early 2000's? must of been sober😂🍻
I would have loved to hear Kurt sing some of Chad's songs. Chad has some good songs.
I feel like when it happened, if he's being honest and saying he just wasn't into it, then it probably wasn't a huge deal. I think after they became famous worldwide he was probably more on the "oh shit, damn.." level.
He was probably jealous of their success, but I doubt he would've wanted to play with them again. The fact is that things weren't working out.
Excellent video. Great to hear things from Chad’s perspective.
You just did.
Awesome video! Thanks so much!
The band/Dave never changed any of beats Chad laid down which indicates a mutual respect from all involved.... Enough said!
Kurt Cobain’s greatest gift was creating the appearance of being oblivious to the genius elements of Nirvana. That way it comes off very happenstance when the actuality was that he carefully curated all elements of Nirvana’s appeal. No better example of this is made than bringing Dave Grohl on as a replacement for Chad. Dave’s professionalism and metronomic precision allowed for Kurt and Krist to experiment and sit sonically on top of Dave’s hard hitting, in time foundation.
They picked on the little guy
Great video dude!
Thanks Dude, for that info! I didnt know a lot about Chad. Just have seen his Nirvana tribute band in Latvia few years ago (I am latvian). Cool. Keep it up Bro!
I totally agree, Chad really had a lot to put in and even did half of Nevermind if that says anything. Such a small time frame for so much music it's kinda overwhelming in a sense. A vital part of early Nirvana to say the least. Who knows, maybe they could have been in a more comfortable spot overall with Chad but history is what it is.
Great drummer, super underrated. Also, anyone seen recent pictures/videos of Chad? Dude literally hasn't aged at all.
Bottom line: If a band has had 4 or 5 drummers in the space of 2 or 3 years, pack lightly and keep your resume up-to-date.
I love Chad..I love Bleach..School is my fav song..never get bore listen to it from 90s til now 2020
Chad Channing was also in a band called The Methodists in the late 1990s. I bought one of their CDs and the band autographed it for free. That was nice of them.
I love Kurt Cobain. I adore Chad Channing Too. I think he was good too. It was my impression that Chad's drumming style wasn't to Kurt or Nirvana's liking. If Chad was feeling or not feeling his part in the Band that makes it better to me. It looks as though there were conflicts as well not necessarily with Chad but conflicts are common in Bands.
Thanks for sharing. Kool getting to hear him talk about Nirvana.
Nirvana’s main Inspo was Blue Cheer. Not many people know that, or have ever heard of Blue Cheer.
I had never heard "inspo" before this comment.
My band, Mantank, supported Blue Cheer at the Boardwalk in Sheffield, UK during the 2000's.
alukuhito inspiration. See timecode 3:08 for the blue cheer record in their rehearsal space.
Jonny Davies that’s awesome!! Same here, I was in PowerTrane with Scott Morgan, and we opened for blue cheer in Detroit.
How about nirvana reunion with krist on bass, Dave on vocals and guitar and Chad channing on drums.
Channing is a marvellous guy. Really talented and centred. "Missing out" on the big time, is normal. 103 billion of us in history are forgotten. Channing really inspires me to go "heh" , nevermind.
John Lennon once said that he didn't care about the drumming. At the end of the day a drummer has to play according to what the writer of the song wants . That makes a drummer easy to fire, of course unless the drummer learns from Ringo, you know he would clown around for the band .
Chad was on Bleach which was probably their best album.
My Hat off to you, Chad!
All the drummers were good but chad and Dave were exceptional with Dave on the top end of the spectrum. But chad could write good drums beats.
Always enjoy your videos, this one being no exception.
Bleach wouldn't sound the way it does if he wasn't the drummer. Best Nirvana album.
It would be interesting to see a band with Chad on drums, Jason on guitar, Chris on Bass and Davd on guitar and vocals. It would probably sound like the Foo's first album, haha, but it would be cool.
It would sound like The Poo 💩 Shiters 🙃
Surprised hes not in some kind of those kind of members from back in the grunge days supergroup today
Hey at 3:09 Blue Cheer album. Nice!
You should do one of these on Evanescence’s Ben Moody co-founder and while you’re telling the story might as well talk about the (whole rest of the band) who left also. Being the only remaining member Amy Lee seems like a story worth covering.
Things change. Who would have guessed Krist would salute Trump for protecting his money? Right?..its not 1992...and 1992 wasn't 1988.
A small part of my childhood died when I saw that.
Really? I missed that. Source?
@@shetlandally1107 Google.
@@shetlandally1107 I saw on Yahoo news that he made a post praising Trump's response to the protests.
Quelle blasphemy! No wonder that dude disappeared after Kurt died, never to be seen again.
"It is nice to see Chad playing the guitar" in a image of Chad with a bass
Could you maybe make a video which goes over what Kurt or Nirvana book is the best and most truthful to read? Maybe some kind of ranking?
The thing that's weird is if you look at the performances from the time, Kurt overall seemed happier playing with Chad than he did Dave. Chad's style might not have been as good for some of the songs on Nevermind though, like if you listen to his version of Stay Away which was called Pay to Play at the time the drumming isn't nearly as powerful as Dave's. But overall I think he may have been more fun to play with b/c on songs like School he played slower & didn't rush through as much as Dave did, and had sort of more of a groove to his drumming.
Chad will always be a significant part of Nirvana's history and body of work though. I reject the narrative that everything before Nevermind is less significant because "that's when they hit it big." Nirvana only had 3 major album releases & Bleach is one of them & possibly my favorite. So Chad is the drummer on a third of Nirvana's albums.
I'm getting Chad and Krist's autographs soon.
I always liked Chad more then Dave because I tend to gravitate to eras of Nirvana that included Chad. I remember back in the Myspace days looking for what Chad was up to and finding the Before Cars Myspace page. I remember not caring much for the music though.
also damn there were a lots of ultra rares pictures in this video
nice
I always wondered if Nirvana would have been as huge if Chad Channing had stayed in the band, or if things would have turned out completely different without David Grohl
Nope.
@dooder Lars is responsible for arranging most Metallica's music.
Chad was good, but not good enough. That's the main reason.
Then again there's band like The Cure who have had some amazing drummers, but now have a crappy drummer. He's been around for so many years and everybody knows he's not as good as Boris or others.
Idk, it's Chad's drum sound that really pulls people in to Nirvana, in my opinion
@@scottmatznick6461 don't get me wrong, Chad added some great drum parts, but to be as great as they became, they needed a better drummer. Kurt said himself he wouldn't swap Dave Grohl for anyone.
I've heard people say that Novoselic and Grohl, were the tightest rhythm section they had ever heard live.
Not sure how much Chad was involved in the (mixing etc) of the drum sounds we hear, maybe he was! I'm sure he tuned his kit etc, but Jack Endino surely would've been adding some knowledge and experience to the final drum sounds.
April of 1990, I'm narrowing it down to when I saw Nirvana. I graduated Omaha in 1989, and made my friend go to this bar when we heard bleach on speaker at record store. "Oh that's Nirvana, they're playing tonight at ski loft lift," whatever. I really don't know who played drums that night, not Dave grohl. If it was Chad Channing drumming - bleach sounds good to me.
Actually the drum on Polly from Nevermind is the take from Chad Channing
Don’t get me wrong, I really like the songs Chad did with nirvana, but anybody could have did the cymbal hits on Polly
@@saulgoodeguitars sure, but the think is how hard is sometimes to find that SIMPLICITY and make it work perfectly in a song. Plus, what we heard on Nevermind version is Chad playing in that song.
When asked in modern times if Chad feels he is "Today's Pete Best",..he has said "Yes,..in every sense,... But it's even WORSE than that ,."
Some get fired from famous bands and move on pretty well to start their band which was very successful Dave Mustsaine Megadeth after getting fired from Metallica. Very rare though Could anybody name another?
Not a perfect example, but Jonny Craig has been pretty successful after being booted from Dance Gavin Dance. Although, I'm pretty sure he has since been kicked out of the next band (Slaves), too...
I see Chad as a riff man behind drums, you can just sing his drum riffs, and were very particular, like School, In Bloom, Sappy, Scoff, etc.
Great to see another video!
Chad Channing good drummer but Dave Grohl is so much more than just a drummer and I think Kurt recognised that. He his later career has shown what he can do. A talent like that is hard to pass up.
Chad, props to you.
I think aside from skills, there’s the personality issues also. I’m sure Chad is really nice and talented but Dave is not only an extraordinary but he knows how to adapt well -considering he wasn’t in the beginning of Nirvana- but if you watch their videos, they click well with Dave. Dave (and Krist of course) can keep the beat even when Kurt is going on with his crazy antics. That’s something.
chad is a frigging vampire, more than 30 years have passed and he has barely aged
Imagine what artist of today would describe themselves as "heavy pop".
Childish Gambino
@@connormckee4431 Never heard about them, I just checked them out.. HAha yeah thats pretty accurate :D I miss the old pop :)
That`s the real reason why he got fired
prolly imagine dragons
Nice saturday afternoon video. Nirvana was a breakthrough band in my life. They made me feel like it was okay to be a mother , painter weekend drummer and having torn clothes. When the last sounds of Europe and rest of the glam makeup metal fizzed out to make way for fresher air and sound quality. My time began . I still carry the energy and courage i gained through these great bands. I love all music, just saying.. Some catch my attention more than others... Thank you.
Great video love your opinion on things
Respect to Chad👍
I actually preferred Chad Channing’s drumming, imo Chad was the best drummer they had.
Personally Chad is my favorite drummer, the pure passion he had in bleach...
Dave literally said himself he didn't know shit about drums and used old jazz beats.
I love every album and I love Dave but Chad is my favorite
Pete best and Chad should have a drink together.
Chad was a really good drummer, Dave Grohl was just better.
He wasn't man...that's the truth. Even today he's really bad. Everyone who plays for real some musical instruments notice it easily
@@rafaelfogaca1761 both Chad and dave are amazing drummers. I play instruments, I'm in a punk band I play bass, guitar, piano, and I know the basics to drumming although I don't play myself. They're both awesome drummers but Chad just didn't fit the sound Kurt was looking for. Even dave credited Chad for being an awesome drummer, Chad was the one who wrote the drums for "in bloom" from before dave joined which is one of the most recognisable drum fills ever.
@@dylanbenadie458 Sorry but he is not. It's impossible not to how bad he is as drummer dude. He totally out of time. I whacthed his lives playing he is horrible. Don't look at studio record, seach for videos that he was playing and you will see.
@@rafaelfogaca1761 Chad or Dave?
@@samhalls2967 Dave hands down!!1 Daved is a great drummer, he is a real musician
Naa, Chad didn't expect to be fired, he was just too normalfor them.
The only one in Nirvana tht didnt sell out for the fame n fortune
Hey, he pronounced “debut” correctly on this video!
i feel bad for the " T"
I love Chad. Know him personally but Dave took them to the top. Compare the In Blooms and there is no comparison.
Butch Vig took them there. And the songs themselves, and the voice. And Kurt's personality. Dave got lucky, and was about to be fired before Kurt got fucked.
lol. Chad "miss-timed drum fills" Channing ;)
He should have been included in the hall of fame.
I love bleach Chad’s drumming is just pure raw and heavy shit it was so cool I know a lot of people like Dave but I just prefer Chad over Dave
I'd always thought they knew Chad anyway, obviously not
And Chad is right about why he was fired, in a letter Kurt wrote but never sent to him Kurt said it came down to a growing lack of enthusiasm and commitment on Chad's part
Chad is better than all the drummers
He doesn't want to say that kurt wanted him to take drum lessons so he would be better at drumming. It hurt his pride.
Everybody that ever played on a RHCP album is in the HOF but Chad is not in the Hall weird 💩that really sucks ...
Actually Dave Navarro, Jack Sherman, DeWayne McKnight, D.H. Peligro, Arik Marshall, and Jesse Tobias were not inducted and they were all members of RHCP Sherman and Navarro recorded entire records for The Peppers
Thx for the info ☮️☮️
We all know why he was fired. He was sloppy af and there’s nothing he could do to change that. He can make excuses about not giving his all but the truth is, once Kurt heard grohl, chads fate was sealed. A band’s whole sound starts with the drummer.
