My big brother started showing me how to play these riffs at age 10. He learned Kurt's riffs and we recorded our Nirvana covers on a tape recorder. He passed away 6 years ago. If it wasn't for Kurt Krist and my brother Tony I wouldn't be a musician.

[@onecrispyfrie1932]

What I like about nirvana is that the bass line often stands out. Usually basslines just follow the root notes of the guitar and you could play the song without bass. But from personal experience I can tell you that playing nirvana with only a drummer and a guitarist is very difficult

[@ShogaiDeZpair]

Nirvana's basslines are amazing. Krist did such an amazing job on every single one of them. I love Kurt and the guitar riffs. I love Dave and the drums. But krist often gets overshadowed

[@justinkline1294]

His bass playing philosophy was to "serve the song". Which he does masterfully. But he's not flashy. He just alternates down and upstrokes with a pick. Very simple and easily overlooked.

[@------yo-]

A little fun fact : Did u Know that in the group Sweet 75 krist IS a guitariste 😯

[@Gl00mAsx]

I did not expect to see She Only Lies on a list ever. Mad respect my dude

[@twomindz79]

That's cause it's not a nirvana song. It's an unrealesed Kurt jam.

[@revalone3944]

sounds so good

[@omen451]

I think In bloom should be here too, it has a pretty cool bassline, but anyways great video!

[@bloxsy_]

True. Thanks!

[@pat2100]

@Shitpost random y mas okay bass police

[@seba24503]

Yeah that’s probably my favorite bassline

[@Fireglo]

@Shitpost random y mas bass riff and bassline are the same thing. The line merely refers to the line of sheet music.

[@Fireglo]

@Shitpost random y mas being the intro to the song doesn't mean it's not a bass riff.

[@LeveyHere]

Nirvana has some great bass. Novoselic is a great bassist.

[@albertandguitars]

Agreed!

[@bloxsy_]

I think so too.

[@yobotbeats]

Wait, who write all of bass riffs? Its not only cobain? Or maybe novoselic write something, but curt do this biggest than krist? I rly dont know

[@isoldmysoulnowwheresmytale6945]

The bass rift for Lounge Act is ridiculously good. Krist is an animal.

[@tianbarretosebas8380]

In bloom would be an honorable mention but overall this is a solid list!

[@AuspiciousFrog]

Lounge Act was the first bassline I learned when I got my first bass, absolutely amazing bassline to that song...that and the Seinfeld theme...

[@Histgyph]

He has blew in this video

@@Histgyph I should’ve said “a good one.” I guess I was saying “another good one” conversationally, as in “I haven’t heard that in a while” and not as “you missed blew”
