Krist Novoselic on The FOX - Part 1

Former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic joined The Jeff O'Neil Show. Here he discusses the Kurt Cobain conspiracy theories and talks about helping people with drug issues.

[@TenTalentsTrading]

This is one of the saddest and yet most realistic and sobering interviews I've heard. 14 years later I'm just seeing this. Sorry for your loss Kris. If I recall correctly, I actually didn't really start listening to Nirvana that much until shortly after Kurt's death sadly. I think my older brother (3 years older than me) had some Nirvana albums before that, but I was only 11 years 6 month and 4 days old when Kurt Cobain died.

[@helensmith7596]

this man is a wonderful human being

[@nonebusiness4488]

wonderful? did you clear your ears enough to hear that he is supporting the murderers and he did that for 22 years when he knew all along that kurt was murdered, and there is some possibility that he was one of the co conspirators. wonderful human being? are you on drugs? he knew all along kurt was murdered and supported the propoganda, because she bought him like she bought the SPD

[@kurtcobain4209]

1.He knew Kurt half his life and the last time he saw him he drove home crying right after Kurt tried to kill himself in the car and they got into a fight. 2.You only research on Tom Grant's case and do nothing outside of that because you live in a fantasy world where Courtney fucked the world so she could cover up a murder...that didn't happen

true dat -- those bass-lines look easy but there's actually a lot of work behind them. They serve and complement the songs perfectly. Many of their songs (e.g. In Bloom) have large sections with just drums, bass and vocals, and they sound great. He was a great rock bass player.

[@BrodyLuv2]

Maximum respect to this Man..a massive force behind Nirvana. From all Nirvana Fans Krist,Thank You so much for the colours images and sounds that fill our heads : ) Cheers!

[@gsahrens]

People does not talk about Krist much because he decided not to be around in the media like Dave did. But the truth is that Krist was in fact more ''important'' for Nirvana then Dave. People forget that Kurt and Krist who founded the Band and they would be the ones to decide which ways the band should go and would do the writing together.

[@simonpenum]

@GoddessFourWinds Does Dave really think Kurt was murdered? Is there an interview where he says that?

[@mj011n1r]

I watched a documentary here on KZbin about the last 48 hours of Kurt's life. What struck me is how little good things people had to say about him among the documenters. I did get a sense that Love and Francis were innocent bystanders in Kurt's struggle with heroin. In the documentary Kurt's grandfather seemed ambivalent to his death, but he's probably numb to the constant questioning.

[@Polyfusia]

@GoddessFourWinds He didn't just "goof around with guns", he posed for a picture as if he was about to blow his brains out through his mouth. Later, he suffered a gunshot through the mouth, after years of talk about suicide, a professional diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and music that clearly displayed how he felt. He is quoted as saying that most of his songs are about things that piss him off. He told a childhood friend he would "be a rockstar and die in a flame of glory".

Yea, a bit before that

[@Thijs3FM]

That´s exactly what he does, avoiding the conspiracy theories, because he just wants to accept the thought that Kurt killed himself, and not thinking about conspiracy theories, because thinking about that and thinking if it's maybe true will only make the loss of his friend harder. I fully understand that, but I personally believe in the conspiracy theory of Tom Grant.

Famous people are usually just normal people who have focused their efforts on learning a skill that just happens to involve record comanies needing to make them famous in teh media. I think the public makes these people out to be "rock Gods" or whatever, but they probably wish that people whould just treat them like the normal unfamous people that they know they are.

It is a conspiracy theory. And it's not uncommon for transactions to show up days after they actually happened. For instance the plane ticket he bought, shows up on a different date to when we know he actually bought it. I have delays even today in 2021, let alone back in 1994 lmao.

We'd say, you're a ROCK station what the hell's the problem? The DJ was actually pissed about it but he had his orders. They'd play arrowsmith, sabath, bryan frikin adams but not Kurt and crew.

[@Fiatslave]

interestingly, they don't go into depth about evidence material to the case. instead, they allow for comparisons to bruce lee or elvis sightings to go unchecked, just counting on people accepting someone's word for it. Particularly interesting that what separates the cobain case from elvis and bruce lee is materiality of evidence. nothing really sticks to bruce lee or elvis sightings.

@GoddessFourWinds I've read nearly every piece of information available on the topic, but I'm going to leave this alone. I like Nirvana a lot, and respect Kurt. I shouldn't have bought his journals, because they shouldn't have been published. Courtney Love shouldn't have released those. He killed himself. I don't know what to say. He was here to do something, and he did some of it, and went on to other things, I think... What's to do but think?

[@roguenation]

It was definitely obvious to _everyone_ that Cobain was the head honcho and linchpin of Nirvana. The group nearly disbanded in '92 when Cobain decided to reorganize Nirvana's songwriting royalties (which to this point had been split equally) so that they reflected the fact that *he* wrote most of the music. Grohl and Novoselic did not initially object to Cobain's request, but when he clarified that the agreement would be retroactive to the release of the blockbuster _Nevermind,_ the disagreements between the two sides came close to scuttling the band. After a week of tension, Cobain ended up receiving a retroactive share of 75% of the royalties, and sore feelings about the arrangement remained within the group afterward.

I think Krist took Kurts death really hard and just letting it go and believing in his suicide and not taking any time to deal with these issues is what reminds him less and less of Kurt. It is kind of obvious that suicide wasnt an option to stick to but hell Krist has his own life now and Kurt isnt coming back(he is dead and not hiding in some island, be real people) so avoiding controversy would be all Krist can do since he is powerless to do anything thanks to Courtney Love...
