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]

@@yobotbeats krist wrote most of the bass lines but a few of them Kurt wrote I'm not sure about all of them but I'm pretty sure Kurt wrote "she only lies".

[@ИванЗемлянухин-б2х]

He's one of the most underrated bass players ever

[@AndyFelbab]

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.

[@seanwilkie9358]

RIP to your brother

[@salemhart999]

What an amazing memory to have, sorry for your loss

[@samharradence5689]

Novoselic is a shockingly underrated melodic bassist, you really did him justice

[@m4tt1afm51]

I think John Deacon is the most underrated

[@ygslyn6732]

@@m4tt1afm51 he’s definitely underrated, hell, most people just know him as the guy who played bass for queen and wore a sweater. There are probably less known out there tbh like Noel Redding

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 😯

[@twomindz79]

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

[@revalone3944]

sounds so good

[@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

[@robertdavison507]

Not a lot of margin for error for sure. Slip up one time on In Bloom haha

[@CarlosLopez-di3yg]

I agree!

[@mariovazquez4436]

you cant play these riffs unless you are barefoot and have your bass nearly touching the floor

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.

[@mvramos]

Thirty years later and the bass riff in Blew still blows my mind.

[@lil8946]

Kurt's too

[@mohammadwaled409]

I guess it blew you away

[@paulsandor3522]

Remember one thing when playing bass: don't throw it straight up in the air! Sorry Krist; couldn't resist

I've done this one too many times

[@axl2596]

the simplicity in nirvana's songs is what i cant get over

thats what makes them great, catchy and accessible, so people can play and appreciate the melodies

[@professorpigeon3069]

Krist is such an underrated bassist.

[@DolfoLicks]

Yeah... the legendary nirvana's bassist, international idol and forever in the history of rock and music in general, he is underrated. 🥱🥱🥱

[@nboutdoors3571]

[@virtuaplayer7234]

No. He's not underrated wtf. Stop acting like Nirvana is this underground band that no one listen to it's ridiculous.

[@professorpigeon3069]

@@virtuaplayer7234 I was just saying that not many people talk about krist when they're talking about nirvana, it's always Kurt and maybe Dave that come to mind first even though Krist wrote some really good basslines.

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

[@Dunno-56]

Heart Shaped Box's bassline is so powerful

[@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...

[@Hagor94]

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

[@TrevorTarwater]

Great video. Blew is a good one. Such an iconic album-opener.

[@Histgyph]

He has blew in this video

[@TrevorTarwater]

@@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”
