[@allixpeeke]

Novoselic once said to someone, "How many Nirvana concerts have you been to? Because I've been to all of them." It's true. He and Cobain were the only two humans to've been to every Nirvana concert. He was in possession of Cobain's fecal matter demo for about a year before he got around to listening to it, but when he did, he loved the song "Spank Thru" and decided he had to form a band with Cobain. When Nirvana decided to start letting themselves get wined and dined by major label representatives, Cobain did very little talking, leading most representatives to assume that Novoselic was the band leader. Of course, he's the only one in the band who couldn't sing.

[@allixpeeke]

Other than Al Yankovic, Novoselic is the only musician of whom I know who can handle the accordion, and he does so with skill and grace.

Yeah, time tends to accelerate as u get older.

Wake me up when September ends ( sorry massive green day fan just had to do that )

Did you just reference green day in this

Wittlepunkrocker ! no.

If I got a dollar every time when Jimmy Fallon fakes a laugh, I would have been richer than Jeff Bezos

[@timkramer4466]

Shut up jimmy

[@3081e]

"We thought the world was weird" is just depression in disguise. Krist really lost a part of him in Kurt's passing. It's a shame that things ended up going the way it did for Kurt

[@spacepirate3391]

I came here to hear some Nirvana stories came out knowing an unwanted Jimmy Fallon story...😒

[@CFazz]

In every video ever made of these 2, they are always so down to earth and humble. It's not only the music we love but who they are.

[@D3C0Y]

I don't think I've seen these guys together for an interview. This is great.

[@jariika]

Sooo true!

[@thesupergamer5894]

I might not have grown up when Nirvana was still going. But I have listened to Nirvana for as long as I can remember, and it's literally my favorite band.

[@elba5907]

[@user-uh3bs1bl3u]

Literally? As opposed to what? Figuratively?

[@wheeler3787]

I'm with ya I've been a fan since 92 it doesn't go away lol

[@Sanctifiers]

umm then you don't appreciate music. there are literally thousands of bands so much better than Nirvana. they are mediocre at best.

[@benparsons4979]

Mine's Foo Fighters. Love Dave Grohl!

[@nicholasbartonlaw341]

I've really come to think a lot of Krist. He is really thoughtful and cool and contributed mightily to Nirvana's sound. You start looking at the band's parts and you start to see it was a grouping of individual genius much like the Beatles and Zep.

[@levig384]

I feel like Dave and krist can’t be friends without Kurt

[@jlouis4407]

Yeah it ‘s just weird they had a unique chemistry.

[@sirdope2575]

i don't thing so, they make project together

[@chops4986]

It's kind of a fake friendship

[@hijovicente]

I think nirvana was Kris and Kurt. It seems Dave is younger than the others. Probably Dave wasn't a real friend of kurt and kris, just colleagues. It what's seems for me.

[@chops4986]

@@hijovicente agreed. that’s what it seems like if you read the story of how Dave just moved out one day to randomly live with Kurt and be apart of their band. Dave describes him and krist as just two really weird friends or something. Dave definitely had an ambition to be big and he was going to do anything to get it. Including just deciding one day to be in nirvana. They were definitely more colleagues. No doubt krist and Dave will always have a bond but it seems more circumstantial. You said it better. But yeah

[@jwondga]

This was wonderful to hear Dave and Krist reminisce about Nirvana's early days and sudden rise to fame. Thanks, Jimmy. And thanks for the music and memories, Dave and Krist - and Kurt.... ....I miss you.

[@shadowaccount]

1:07-1:16 Krist wants throw Fisticuffs with Jimmy

[@coryc0213]

hahaha ya he was!

[@darmus8928]

Funny how he puts his hands to rest instantly as he realised Jimmy isn't worth fighting with.

[@kevanchicago4664]

this interview is like 70% Jimmy Fallon telling stories

[@timkramer4466]

Jimmy shut up

[@thechannelofagerbil5036]

Krist and Kurt are really people I absolutely love for what they are, look at how Krist is humble!

[@SayItAintTso]

I was born in 1996, and I literally wish I was older just so I could have shared a time frame with Kurt Cobain.

[@betcommando]

ScentlessApprentice7 well at least u were alive when kurt was :D

[@betcommando]

***** Dude u are only as old as you feel. And that is the truth. And most people including me would do anything to see nirvana live. so that said, I am glad for you that you got to see them play live.

[@StringBender567]

Saaaaaame bro...

[@Nominay]

I felt the exact same way about Jim Morrison when I was your age. He died 2 years before I was born. Having been around a while, I definitely see that Kurt's status in society today is like Morrison's 20-25 years ago. I fear that in the future young people won't have a Jim or Kurt in their immediate past to relate to.

Just look at some old Nirvana songs and you are good to go

godson SOANS no ,not really.

[@eduardoantunez9694]

I tried and my head hurt so bad trying

[@austonsmith536]

Why would they lose their front man AND their beards? You think their beards had a lot of royalty money for Love and Frances? So she hired a hit barber to secretly get rid of their beards for royalty and life insurance? Dude... Be real... That shit don't make no sense!!! Their beards already had it rough enough and we're planning on getting the snip at some point... You know how many times Krist fantasized about getting rid of that thing??? Cmon dude, take the tinfoil hat off and come back to reality... It's not Krist's fault his and Dave's beard sneak out to meet the heroin dealer daily, okay? Ggeeezzzz.... What's next? You have a book to sell about how beards going to psyche wards, doing smack, blowing off Billy Corgan aren't as suicidal as the media makes it out to be??? Dude... Get real!!!

[@Rosshimes1021670]

Everybody seems dislike jimmy. Maybe he'd root for the underdog

[@alexhernandez2797]

I really appreciate the fact that the focus of this interview wasn't based on Kurt ' s death and all the conspiracy around it, I mean it's been 20 years already and yes it was a tragic loss and we all wish it didn't happen but cmon dude. Anywho great interview, love love love this band! Great to see them back together after such such a long time. RIP KC

[@Algartab]

I honestly cannot believe that with all the remarkable talent in the US, this Fallon guy has a prime time talk show. I mean, it is extreme cringe. I only watch these videos sometimes because of the guests.

[@Drenwickification]

2:30 'you did SNL, I remember watching you guys on saturday night live just going 'this is amazing' because not only does the record sound great but seeing you guys live is like 'what is going on? Who are these people?'' Lol I see what you mean, what kind of sentence is that

[@tristajeanette]

Could not stop thinking that this whole interview. You have two of an iconic band in front of you and you’re making stupid jokes about how your lame high school band played one of Nirvana’s songs... and of course it’s a cover from their unplugged. Wow.

[@edenwomble2177]

I agree, I do think he was especially flustered because he's talking about a band he's obviously loved his whole life. He's kind of fan girling here lol.

[@smellslikenirvana9613]

when Kurt died, Krist’s humor, his soul died with him. Such a tragic day. ❤️❤️
