People don't seem to realize that Nirvana was only around for 7 years. Kurt and Krist formed in 1987 and then Kurt died in 1994. The success accomplished in those 7 years is almost impossible, and it speaks to Kurts talent and the impact Nirvana had on the world.

The Beatles RECORDED and RELEASED music for eight years but they were together for five years previous to that. The singles and records and fame came after several years together. But yes Nirvana was a phenomenon the likes we haven’t seen since.

[@nicbrownable]

@@lancerosenbaum9537 At the start of 1965, The Beatles recorded Help, and shot the film on location around the world. They then did a US tour, did voiceovers for an animated series, recorded Rubber Soul, encountered LSD, did a tour of Asia, went to India for their retreat there, recorded Revolver, and then did their last US tour. All of the above took around 18 months. Nirvana had a meteoric launch, but the Beatles hung on that same rocket ride longer than anybody else. Nirvana blew up so fast that I saw them at the peak of Nevermind mania in 1992 for around $15 bucks ($25 NZ dollars). They had booked small gigs and sold tickets at indie band prices, although the venue was upgraded 3 times. Rumour was that they were paid NZ$17k for the show which would have been not much over US$10k.

[@ugaais]

See the Beatles…..I was born in 1970 but grunge is not aging well too depressing….and the lead singers are dropping like flies….it’s amazing to me the glam bands of the 80’s partied all day and night and almost all of them out lived the next decades talent..

[@mattdrummond5654]

I was in high school when Kurt died. It was painful for almost the entire school. I went to a HUGE high school and EVERYONE was sad, even the teachers... they, like us, realized the fact that Nirvana changed music forever.. They are literally as important to modern music as the Beatles. The only artist that did more for music, and rock and roll specifically, was Elvis. They are the last band to have an impact like that.. Iv seen Nirvana and Foo fighters both in my life. I think Dave is more famous now than Kurt was then. Rightfully so.. he is more successful than Kurt... sorry this is so long but its important for people younger than myself to understand how much Nirvana changed the game.. once they came out, hair bands like def Leppard and poison instantly went away.

[@Andr-x8r]

@@mattdrummond5654 The impact that Nirvana had was incredible, not just on a musical level, but culturally on a global scale. I remember that punks, metalheads, rappers, hastas, even my grandfather, absolutely everyone enjoyed Nirvana. Cobain was a very sincere person and that reverberated in everyone. My mother, to this day, gets emotional when she listens to the unplugged album. I turned 40 this year, and I still miss Cobain's presence.

[@Mindcreat0r]

Kurt Cobain isn’t the most technically proficient singer, but what he brought to the table in terms of pure emotion and energy is unmatched. Nirvana covers really show how impressive what Cobain brought was, his vocals are untouchable in a lot of ways. He was truly a treasure and is still missed, but it’s nice to know Grohl continued the greatness of Nirvana in a way with Foo Fighters.

[@brothermangilldaleexposer1113]

Kurt was heavily inspired by the Beatles and underground acts like the pixies and the vaselines. Simple catchy songs. It was a great contrast to hair metal which was dominating the scene when they came out. Here was a band that could right a deep heavy and catchy 2 chord song as a 3 piece.

[@guilhermecastro4553]

No, his voice wasnt untouchable. Nirvana fans seem to only know him in rock music. There were way more raw and passionate singers even in the grunge cenario, even in his own band. Kurt knew how to write catchy and punk songs, inspired by a lot of bands that kinda done similar things to them. He was a talented and good musician, but just stop putting him in this "untouchable" level. That's what 14 y/old fanatic kpope fangirls do.

[@mindjab]

He was a better singer than you could ever be. He’s actually one of the best singers. Massively underrated.

[@edmundzimmatore1980]

Wasn 't a technically proficient singer? That's somehow slightly a inaccurate term, his voice conveyed a very rare sense of raw emotion. It's technically good in its own right. This is rock and roll, what do you expect, an opera singer? You could say that most rock stars weren't technically proficient. If you're thinking about that and not engaging with your raw emotion and feeling you're not a Nirvana fan, you're just some abstract nerd.

They weren't talking because Courtney convinced Dave and Krist to "kick him out of the band" if he wouldn't go to rehab. At the moment Kurt jumped that wall and ran away he may have been thinking that was it, no more NIRVANA. And the guilt Krist must have felt...

If anyone deserves to be a rockstar it is Dave Grohl. A hard working humble and honest musician who doesn't seem to take a day for granted. I was blessed to grow up with Nirvana and Grunge as it happened. I was 12 when Bleach was released and in Philly they had a pretty big cult following. I was so blessed to be able to sneak in when they played JC Dobbs (which became Pontiac Grill). Amazing times. No one cared about race or racism. No one cared what gender you were. Everyone was cool and everyone was excepted. We had skinheads hanging out with black punks and white rappers. For some reason we all got along. I think because we all saw each other for who you were. If you were a decent person you were cool. If you brought drama and trouble you were still tolerated to a point. I so wish we could go back to those times.

[@ifinallychangedmyuzername]

... dave grohl wasn't in the bleach album

[@galahgl]

I was 17 in Ohio when Nevermind dropped. It was like a nuke went off. We had been listening to our parent's Beatles and "Aero Zepplin". Our older brothers had VanHalen and Guns and Roses. We heard rumors of things going on in Seattle, little tremors of something. Then one innocent day, Smells Like Teen Spirit erupted and blew open the path for all the other Seattle bands that seemed to just be waiting for that one breakout. It was a great time to be a kid. That is for sure.

[@basednorsegael1089]

Dave grohl is a generic rockstar with music that isn’t memorable in the slightest.

[@Bikewithlove]

I lived around the corner from JC Dobbs on 3rd and Pine when Grunge peaked. I had two pseudo-intellectual friends along with a high school friend and we’d go drink at McGlinchy’s or Dirty Frank’s, or play pool at Tattooed Mom’s. I never drank much but we’d hang out watching Ren & Stimpy episodes on the mornings after late nights out. We checked out bands like Alice Donut, Fishbone, Sixteen Horsepower, etc. and we’d go slam-dancing at ‘The Bank.’ It really was like you’re saying - everyone in the music & art scene were unconscious & care-free about the issues being shoved down our throats now, but it was all simmering underneath because I saw it with my own eyes as college English professors at Temple and Drexel were making ‘the communist manifesto’ a required reading. I had no idea what it meant then or if it mattered (I read it and thought it was stupid nonsense) but it was getting into a lot of people’s heads, and a lot of the music then was about glorifying drugs, dismantling religion and the family, and hating our country, so it was well underway for the kids born of young 90s mothers to become today’s ‘antifa’ riot goons. Feminism was already at that time a huge problem, and every girl I dated openly hated men. I was treated like dirt and made to feel bad for it, but I know better these days. I wish I knew then what I know now - I’d have left 90s females alone entirely, focused more on my education, and saved up my money for a house. So yeah, it was a better time, but only because we didn’t know any better. On a lighter note, I never thought much of ‘grunge’ bands, but I thought Jane’s Addiction were the shit! I got thrown out of the Tower Theater for dancing in the aisle. Perry was so pissed at security that night for being assholes to the audience. I saw Jane’s at the 1st Lollapalooza tour though. More than made up for it. One last thing though, It really signifies the real danger of the dark, nihilistic attitudes of grunge bands, that almost no bands from that time survived it due to drug deaths. Drugs were everywhere in that scene - and the absolute hardest drugs. I was just thinking today that the 90s music scene is still taking lives - with Taylor Hawkins found dead with a cocktail of psychoactives and hallucinogens and who knows what else in him. There goes another one - and a real good, talented one. So yeah, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times… Stay healthy, man. Broaden your musical horizons. Listen to some Aphrodite’s Child, Richard Ashcroft, Julee Cruise, U2, New Retro Wave. Study some nutrition & get some sun & exercise. Get out of that 90s hole, man. Let the dead bury the dead as the saying goes. Peace & Love, and stay healthy.

You never know. People make burner accounts all the time. I am sure that some celebrities make a fake account just to spy around lol:

[@brettkenney6464]

I remember being 14 and seeing that he died on MTV. They were my favorite band at that time in my life. Being so young I had no idea why he would leave this world. Now I totally understand.

[@Builderdrone]

Sorry to here that but yeah, me too

[@Calmerthanyouare17]

Me too :(

[@The_Crow78.]

Me too

[@justdev8965]

Well, do share, what do you understand?

[@GEOMETRICINK]

Same. This was my favorite band when Kurt died. I vividly remember where I was and what I was doing the moment I heard he died. It’s a memory that stays with me. It was probably my first time understanding or really thinking about death. As an adult I get it. I battled heroine addiction many years ago and know how all consuming it is. A lot of people don’t make it out alive. So tragic.

[@J05hyboi]

When all apologies played I got shivers down my spine what a feeling

[@webwondererinacage]

Such a tragedy still years later. Dave is such warm hearted person. You instantly like him and want to hug him when he tells that story

[@cdubs9918]

I was 19/20 when I first heard Nirvana. I heard "Bleach" and about 6 months later "Nevermind" was released and it opened the doors for so many other bands and it was awesome. In 2 years I saw every big band then. All the Seattle groups. Then we got Rage and Metallica were huge and Slayer and I saw so many important Punk and Hardcore bands back then like Bad Religion, Fugazi and Green Day before they were popular and for me,, it all started with Nirvana. Unfortunately the 1 band I never saw live was Nirvana. I remember thinking I'll see them next time they come to NYC. But Kurt died. I regret it even now. They really were a shinning star that burned out too fast. But I saw Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Bad Brains, Descendents, Gorilla Biscuits etc,etc...and it really started with Nirvana. So, thanks Dave!

[@sundance9042]

It is almost 30 years ago that Kurt Cobain passed away, I was 21. This made me cry, the loss of Nirvana, and all they represented still hurts. Nevermind was a defining moment for my generation, it was everything. Long Live Nirvana 💔❤️

[@ArchiduquesaMA]

Kurt was so unapologetically himself, he knew exactly what he wanted to show the world and he straight up went with it. That's the reason they became so big so fast.

[@Octomusprime]

And you know this how ?

[@tetianadmytrenko6089]

So true. So well said.

[@tetianadmytrenko6089]

Underrated comment.

[@whatabouttheearth]

He wanted to kill glam rock and he did 😂

[@whatabouttheearth]

​@@Octomusprime Tons of previously unreleased taped person recording and journals. And if you get the hidden meanings in some of his songs he's really explaining some deeply personal and fucked up shit, stuff that people who get it don't explain it because it's that messed up, there was some bad stuff that happened to him when he was young.

[@thekrls1]

Dave’s smile at 6:03.. that is genuine love for Kurt, admiration of the band/fans connection, and a little nostalgia in that little smirk. You can almost feel the pain and the happiness at the same time.

[@Calmerthanyouare17]

I can’t imagine what it must be like to have your deceased friend put in your face and asked questions about him year after year..

[@DevinLatulippe]

You gotta give some credit to the interviewee, he was respectful and meaningful about it all, unlike some other interviewers asking about Kurt and Nirvana

[@aurora6920]

it seems like Dave looks back at it as good memories is happy to talk about it, it must be even harder now he has lots another band member though, also due to drugs.

[@malia1287]

I really love ❤❤❤ dave grohl .... whole NIRVANA

[@MrPrice2U]

Grohl is always willing to give a piece of himself in interviews. That's what makes him one of the most respected celebrities out there.

[@aaronmontgomery4000]

I lost my best friend my brother April 22nd 2008, I watched him take his own life and it happened so fast there wasn’t anything I could have done to stop him. I feel it in my soul when I hear Krist say things along the lines of he should’ve never done that and he chose to die that way. My best friend my brother was a great kid he was only 18 when he took his life. I was 17 and when he did that he took a big chunk of me with him. I think about him everyday and I hate the fact that I can’t call him today I hate the fact that he decided to cut his life so short. He had so much life to live. But I make sure to bring him up often to keep his name alive because although he took a piece of me the day he died i now carry a piece of him through life

[@samiam7342]

it was a glorious time in music........I remember playing drums in bands back in 91..........we were playing the same type music but new grunge or hard alternative albums were coming out every month......all the new music was so incredible....even though we were not nearly as good as all of the bands who made it, it was so much fun just to be a part of the scene back then.............it was a much much different time.

[@elijaht.wreckingball5532]

Thank you so much for posting this. Dave Grohl is one of those names that I'd put on a very short list of "people you'd most like to sit down and have a conversation with."

[@codybrockway1616]

Dave is a true inspiration. Love him so much

WE LOVE YOU DAVE!!!

[@zanderkranock]

Love Dave and hope he’s doing better. This made even me cry a little. Rip Kurt. Nirvana will always be my favorite band

[@MiotaLee]

When I first got into nirvana I was like 13. I'd lived less than 6 months alongside Kurt. I became obsessed with the band and the backstory. This was my first experience really falling down a rabbit hole. I felt barely alive. I grieved the loss of him like I'd known him. I had the posters and the merch and I wore my first Nirvana t-shirt so much that it was essentially more holes than fabric at the point where I threw it away. (still wish I didn't) I fr was so depressed cause of Kurt and Dave and Krist... and Frances. I took a near 5 year break before I could listen to the songs again without crying buckets. I for sure would have been one of those people that fell from this world after him.

[@Nick-iv3yb]

As a teen who loves Nirvana, I would give anything to be able to go back in time to see their concerts. It looks like so much fun :') RIP Kurt.

[@SkuIIKn1ght]

This was really insightful into his mindset and feelings, I was never big into Nirvana and I remember Foo Fighters was huge when I was in highschool, even now sometimes I forget that Dave once upon a time was Nirvana's drummer, what an incredible journey this man has been on. Big props to the interviewer

[@TheKidsInTheRoom]

Super deep conversation. Love Nirvana one of the greatest bands ever! Dave is so humble and authentic and great storyteller.

[@angeleramsay528]

Having been in grade 10 when Kurt died, I awoke that shi**y April morning with it being all over the papers, media, and being so saddend by that still... Yet followed Dave ever after... He remains, still so pure Dave.... Seems genuinely just so nice, and still grounded 💖💞

[@waltergoring8428]

30 years ago... A very, very special piece of rock history.

[@gNome_5]

A time in my life I could NEVER forget- and oh how we thought it would never end.... UNTIL IT DID!! Absolutely heart breaking times

[@anttiaarnio9851]

One of the greatest drummers of all time.

[@justdev8965]

If you say so

[@bradbengel917]

I can’t respect Dave enough for how he took a positive spin on the bad situations that life gave him. Most people would have cracked at some point for if they had happen to them what happened to him. Music is his ultimate escape and he uses it to the fullest extent. Love Dave and Nirvana to the end.

[@gilbertbern6917]

Such a sacred words. The man with t shirt was a sign by kurt then he is still alive but in another dimension. What a sign ..interesant🙏💪

[@MrDeanGr]

Imagine being part of this Legendery band and still be alive to remember the moments Goosebumps

[@DrLuke49]

The hurt and pain is still very much evident in Dave's eyes when he talks about Kurt and Nirvana. *R.I.P. Cobain*

[@Karl671]

I know

[@Gias1]

You should watch his SXSW keynote speech. He describes it so beautifull there.

[@JadedAce8727]

Enjoy the little moments that’s what matters even in the bad breathing and being alive is freedom

[@lightbeforethetunnel]

Kurt Cobain was so unique. His songwriting and voice simply can't be replicated. One of a kind, without a doubt.

[@cibonthesaint8903]

I am a novice musician but love rock ‘n’ roll all my life. You are the rock in the role!.

[@odiumimbues]

i think everybody enjoyed it best when people had someone like kurt calling the shots. not a perfect person but definitely lovable and introspective and creates introperspectivity.

[@joyjhollis]

Dave Grohl is an absolute master at overcoming adversity in the face of personal loss. To think that when Nirvana fell apart that he would end up founding a new band that would be as big if not bigger than Nirvana and would find another rock brother in Taylor Hawkins. Truly a brave soul.

[@scotthanback4530]

I think soundgarden was more talented that my view

[@seanoconnor1478]

Foo fighters are not on the same planet as nirvana...

[@sheldonmetler8239]

I am grateful I saw them live. General admission in Medford Oregon , was epic and everytime I hear nirvana I go back to that concert. I'm much older know in my early 60s but I'm forever young in my heart and soul whenever I hear Nirvana. They started a movement and I was there👍

[@davegrohl8137]

[@carolinehaf21]

Beautiful interview... one of the best I've seen with Dave actually.

[@vampvhs]

1:30 I love this performance, maybe it was because it was their first tv performance and they weren’t mentally drained yet, but the life and glimmer in Kurt’s eyes, the passion and happiness, like this is what it’s all about, and they played wonderfully that gig, I love it man, I wish I could’ve been in those days, just a “grown kid” jamming out in the crowd with nirvana, and enjoying life without a care in the world

[@laurencebyrne5212]

Dave is a genius, heart goes out to him.

[@LIL_Dave1964]

This man has lost 2 best friends in 2 different bands, and now he's lost his mother too... Dave, if you read this, I'm sending you a virtual hug! Although I've never been in a band (I play and sing like a 2yr old) this last decade, I've lost my sister, dad, and mom, and I'd love to know how you can keep functioning, it's hard, but I trudge along mostly in autopilot.......

[@isabelbonanno9515]

VERY Emotional,the voice of Dave change when talk about.of this time's in Nirvana and named Kurt is most notorious. 😿😿😿 love David always the same! !!!

[@Tiffany-Rose]

It still makes me cry after all these years. I remember the day he died, it didnt hit me. It wasn't until a year or 2 later that the reality of him being gone and the band that was such a huge part of my life was gone. The way Dave talks about him breaks my heart. Hes experienced too much loss for one person 😢❤️

[@Chuck-Bob]

I just love Dave Grohl. What a guy.

[@charlesh1735]

When you hear people say;damn I would give my left arm to attend a Nirvana concert and just enjoy the show one more time. That’s how you know Kurt,Dave and Krist left an everlasting legacy of great rock music to the world! Thank you Nirvana!

[@RaAndTheGodsOfLoveFire]

Look at Dave! He's got his Nirvana hair again. I've been wondering for the past 20 something years if he's ever going to have the same hair length as he did in Nirvana. When he cut it off I remember thinking, "Okay the hair must be gone for good!" And I remember being bumbed out because in some way it only reminded me of my sadness for my childhood rock hero having died. In the late 90's after Nirvana it felt like the world had ended or my musical world had ended. It kind of did in some way. But I remember when Dave cut his hair, it symbolized to me that Nirvana was over and my heart ached for many years in the late 90's. I remember watching Nirvana at the MTV video music awards 1992 on my TV as a kid. I was glued to the television. In my childhood mind it was like the coming of Christ in town and you better not miss it playing on MTV. I made a wig with strips of paper and put it on my head to imitate Kurt hair and I played my air guitar while watching that performance live on MTV. I was ten years old. To me growing up I can say Kurt represented in my mind the coolest representation of a Rock Star I ever knew. And I had that. It really made a strong impression on me similar to people who grew up with the Beatles. Kurt was our last true rock star. I'll never forget in 1991 hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit on the radio every day. No words can express what it felt like to hear that song because it was a sound like nothing you have ever heard before. It would give me chills as a small boy listening to my Nevermind tape. That was the beginning of my life musically. There's nothing like when that song came out for the first time. That's a once in a lifetime experience. Kids these days have no idea. We haven't had anything like that in music since.

[@scottpannell2286]

You hit the nail on the head my friend. Kurt was the last great rock star, and with how music is generated, distributed and promoted nowadays, it just won’t happen again; I think. I wish it would, but even so, at 40, I’m probably too old to appreciate new music like a teen would. I’m wearing a retro MTV t shirt today, and kids will not have a clue that the channel actually used to play video after video of good songs. That a new video/single was an anticipated event. That you’d discover a new band by sitting around waiting for your current favourite video to come on. Ahhh man. Good times. Very lucky to have grown up in the 90’s and still have the best of analogue/digital generation. I know every generation gets nostalgic about simpler times but I do wonder what people born after 1990 really feel about their generation. It’s so throwaway. So much choice and freedom, but that causes so many issues too

[@RaAndTheGodsOfLoveFire]

@@scottpannell2286 Thank you for your comment! Yes you know what I'm saying! We're both 40. We grew up with this. Maybe not quite old enough to go to Nirvana shows but we still grew up with Nirvana when Nirvana was going on. :) I don't know how kids experience music these days but I know it's not the same. Even for me I don't experience the music I like the same no matter how good it is. Because you can find anything you want whenever you want on the internet. Take Nirvana for instance, everything there is is available. Then you have anybody-anybody-joe on KZbin inventing content out of anything. It's all about people serving content. Totally a manipulation by youtube and social media. These kinds of things mean nothing but mindless entertainment and weakens one's ability to concentrate. Like that guy who just makes videos of every time Kurt screams "You're in high school again". It doesn't offer value to see some weird ways people can invent some sort of content out of what's already been created by someone else. In my mind I'll hear Nirvana song and it's timelessly good. It's like a breath of fresh air to hear the original thing again. But then you have the KZbin generation of kids putting out these weird pieces of content like example above and it sort of dilutes the thing. I don't think most kids value music. For reasons that are obvious.

[@andrewhyde4708]

Great interview. Much respect to Dave Grohl for being able to talk so openly.

This interview broke me inside.. 💙

I am still broke since the time of Kurt Cobain's death. Not able to get over it till this day.
