Kurt Cobain - Nirvana Rare Full Interview Seattle, 1993

Is it just me, or does Dave from back then seem like a completely different person than Dave from right now?

[@Nominay]

He was restrained in the shadows of Kurt and Krist who were the big personalities and founding members of Nirvana. For Dave it was a more humble beginnings phase in his life, transitioning from anonymity to fame.

[@midwaynights]

And he did commit suicide next year. So he knew once hes gone that genre will die. Because even other grunge bands of the time only cashed in because of nirvana.

Oh man, he was that smart, all those lies about how he hates Fame, is ridiculous if you know that Kurt phoned in Summer 92 10x per day to MTV cuz he wanted to have Teen Spirit more often to play, and that they should stop to show Pearl Jam that much.

Kurt's contempt for music theory shows how punk rock he truly was.

[@OldmanSk8ing]

With that said. He knew more about music theory than he lead on. Using terms like arpeggios and Dorian mode. He played major and minor chords and power chords. But he also had his unique way of playing them and putting together chords that sounded good to him. He probably thought modes and all that was useless because he didn’t realize how to use them in making a song. What he was doing worked for him so why bother I guess.

I was watching this interview one day in 2014 and thought I recognised the interviewer's voice: he sounded like my university tutor who had mentioned being a rock journalist in the 80s/90s. So I emailed him about it and he was delighted to confirm that it was him! I've been a massive Nirvana fan since I discovered them as a teenager and feel honoured to have been taught by Edgar. I remember he always came to class dressed like The Undertaker, which was a welcome change from the usual cardigans, polo necks, and elbow-patch jackets 😎

[@inutero10]

I got into Nirvana at age 13 and to this day they have been my favorite band. However, I took a lot of abuse from people for it. I was proud though. I loved everything about them. The question I have always had is if all art is subjective how can people bash the tastes of others? It simply makes no sense. If you don't like Nirvana don't listen to them. These people who go trolling on Nirvana videos and comment about their lack of musicianship are ridiculous. Face it, you people will never change anyones opinion on their own tastes. Stop wasting your time talking about bands you dont like. Use that time to find other music you enjoy. Spending any moment of life looking to insult anyone or anything is sad.

***** For one, he wasn't talking about MUSICIANS, he was talking about his OWN musicianship and how he doesn't have any respect for it or want to learn it. Just because you want to learn all of the technical things and be mister technical musician doesn't mean that he's insulting YOU. It means that he's saying he PERSONALLY didn't want to do that with his own work and craft. Its obvious that Kurt went more by intuition and flying by the seat of his pants then being technical and logical. Which is theory and not hands on enough for him. Thats what he MEANT. Not that he doesn't have respect for OTHER people being that way and wanting to do that.

[@TheLockdownKidNYC]

I love listening to them being so fucking self aware and predicting how stagnant Grunge would become. I also love listening to them joking around about becoming a part of the "mainstream" and "establishment." The best thing about this band, though it is tragic, is that they never had a chance to get "old" and "dinosaur-like." They put out two big albums and boom. Kurt was gone and their legacy was sealed.

[@BurlyAllinDent]

4 albums

[@dailyreport5811]

burly dent 4? I count 3 (Bleach, Nevermind and In Utero). Incenticide wasn't an album, compilation.

[@aloha2302]

They're starting to show their age though. Foo fighters is the legacy regardless of opinions and my elementary school students say that's their dad's music. I played very ape once during hw time and one kid asked what oldies band it was. Happened to Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Richie Valens and now it's their turn to get old :/

[@TheLockdownKidNYC]

They're elementary school students. Who cares about their opinions on music? Most tweens/teenagers I come across can barely name 3 bands they like - let alone have a diverse enough opinion to talk about "old music." Stick with your macaroni drawings.

This seems to be the same day of the really good interview between a lady and Kurt. His best ever interview.

[@darrenryan1161]

Yea well pointed out k.o.brien, that interview you're referring to has to be one of bthe most enjoyable n enlightened one to one that Kurt did of all the press stuff he ever did, it definitely told most of us wat Kurt himself was all about I guess.

Thanks for posting this. I've only seen snippets of this interview not the full thing. Really loved Nirvana back in the day. I still think something bad happened to Kurt and he didn't commit suicide. The band kept getting better, and they definitely had a few more albums in them. I've always enjoyed the chemistry between him and Krist.

[@wataloopus]

32:50 to like 33:30 is pretty creepy Krist talking about "Kurt is dead" and then Kurt talking about kids committing suicide and Dave says "they blow their faces off" RIP Kurt man

[@bryndowsvista3016]

wataloopus the Kurt is dead - playing In Utero backwards thing was a reference to when there was a conspiracy that one of the Beatles died and was secretly replaced by someone else and people said ‘if you play songs backwards there’s clues’ and crazy conspiracy stuff like that. I presume anyway!

Bryn Zip People still whole heartily believe this to be true. Someone even made a website (I looked at it for fun just to see what it would say) and they had all these pictures of Paul pre 1966 and then post 1966 and talking about if you compare their faces, they’re different people and it had to be a fake Paul. I wrote to the website creator and told them “If that was a fake Paul, then he wrote a lot of great songs. Abbey Road, White Album, the solo album Ram, the band Wings with Band On The Run....” It’s just ridiculous

Wow really interesting to hear Kurt's thoughts on music theory and all that bullshit.

[@MrJim1972]

Yeah, I was amazed he didn't even know the difference between a major and minor chord, yet wrote all those amazing songs. That's talent!

[@RebelThoughts82]

MrJim1972 I've noticed that a lot of the great musicians didn't know anything about music theory. Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, etc. Dave Grohl has also said he doesn't know how to read music.

[@CynicalPeace]

Victor Jones Yeah, I really am inclined to agree. Kurt used major and minor chords, and its hard to songwrite without those tools Kurt was subject to being human and wanted to feel cooler.

[@SalandFindles]

MrJim1972 Also, you have to realize he was being incredibly modest about his talent & knowledge about music. I'm willing to bet he knew the 6 basic guitar chords' names and their minor versions. He just was basically saying that he's no Yngwie Malmsteen type player for instance.

[@MrJim1972]

Victor Jones I wouldn't agree that he'd have to know the circle of 5ths to be a songwriter!! 90% of Nirvana songs are simple power chords and single-note riffs... Actually, it's pretty hard to even think of many Nirvana songs that use full Major or Minor chords at all... Pennyroyal tea maybe has an A Minor, About A Girl an E Minor and a G... any others? I don't think Kurt knew much theory at all - maybe a little more than he let on, but not much, judging by his songs. You only have to look at his solos to see he barely knew a pentatonic scale - but it all sounds great for punk/grunge whatever you want to call it!

What I love most and miss most is Kurt’s intellect. He was a very smart artist and he knew what being an artist is.

[@scottthomas4779]

Kurt was a fascinating individual, poetic, sensitive,creative, intelligent but also self destructive and at times contradictory and misinformed. Which I guess what I'm saying is sometimes we look at legendary artists as something more than human and that's just not true, they are purely human and flawed like the rest of us and to me that's part of what makes them legendary. That even with all their flaws like the rest of us have they found a way to tap into something that connects the human experience for people from all walks of life and in doing so they become immortal.

They weren't the biggest rockband on earth back then... Kiss or Iron Maiden were. And tbh, now it all looks cool and shit, but on many occasions they sucked live. Believe me, a lot of my friends saw them (I never did) and one even told me 'they couldn't hold a guitar'. That was before they became big. When they were big the same persons said some concerts were really intense, others really sucked.

+Juice Box He has a point, though. Bon Jovi is that band that wants to look like everyone else. Kurt's comment about Bon Jovi is so right.

[@lorenzodemedici2019]

Actually there where a lot of bands that came out of the 70s and 80s that tried to sound more like grunge in a desperate attempt not to be buried by it. I don't think Kurt thought Jon Bon Jovi was untalented, his comment was just his way at poking fun at him for trying to jump on the band wagon. KISS tried to do it with Carnival Of Souls and Motley Crue with Generation Swine. It didn't work. At least those groups went back to playing what made them famous, Bon Jovi is a country singer now, I'm sure he'd try funk or disco if it came back.

[@dankmheems290]

KISS are also untalented pieces of shit. Their main thing is how much money they made off merchandise.
