Sparkle and Fade is easily one of the best records i've ever heard.

[@cyberpunk409]

Absolutely

[@chriskramer5297]

I appreciated everclear more as I got older for some reason. man I miss the 90's

[@rcword8795]

Same here..the music correlates adult life and childhood perfectly

[@Everclearfan86]

been re-listening to Sparkle and Afterglow recently and damn, Art and the band were really at their artistic peak. The songwriting, arrangements, and musicianship is great.

[@joshfrench5858]

Always thought everclear was under rated.

[@misslalala1102]

Man, I found about Everclear in Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide! It's a shame that the band is soo underrated. I remember the singer was Ned teacher and I really liked the song they played there, which the name was "Rockstar" and came to look for and then discovered he had a band. "Wow, the guy is a real rockstar"

[@hesjustthedrummer]

Fun to see this again!

[@danb1391]

What you up to Greg?. What band are you with these days.

[@kungpao-wp2sq]

So happy this is finally in youtube again !

[@rocketgeek96]

It's kind of darkly funny how the first band that the literal former drummer of Nirvana thinks of when he thinks of bands that sound like Nirvana, as a good thing mind you, is in fact the first band many would say not only sounds nothing at all like Nirvana, but arguably jump-started the whole "sellout" phase of grunge and quite possibly the entire subgenre of post-grunge altogether, that in alt rock spheres metaphorically killed and then zombified that sound until at least 2008.

[@kimappreciateslife]

Dave Grohl is such a baby here!

[@celestinomagana4347]

Dave Grohl was right, Bush do sound like Nirvana especially that song Little Things

[@michaelmederos6680]

Bush some reason still had a following. They were a terrible live band . They totally ripped Nirvana

[@hollow189]

@@michaelmederos6680 You're really wrong, just search up Bush Woodstock 99. Nigel"s improv guitar is amazing on Everything Zen. The media just liked to pick on bands around that time because that was the start of post grunge so everything was a Nirvana copy even Pearl Jam got shit for it and they were apart of the grunge scene. Bush actually were fans of The Pixies like Nirvana and they were influenced by alot of the same bands so they are obviously going to have some similarities. Nirvana also ripped one of their biggest songs (Come As You Are) from the band Killing Joke. Ripping songs has been around since music existed and it always will exist. I think you should listen deeper into Bush's discography as they have some hidden jems like the tracks Bonedriven, and Alien. I personally think Bush did deserve their following heck they deserved a bigger following. ;)

[@IamCatharineStevens]

Ever clear is amazing

[@LilHondaCivic808]

Man this is so sad Rip Kurt

[@dyr234]

nah nirvana and bush are two different animals with similar influences.

[@Spice99857]

There was only one '90s.😊

[@foodog777]

Desmond Child produced Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, KISS, etc. Dave’s so funny! 🤣

[@Mczzin]

Why is that funny? (I'm honestly asking, not a troll haha and I lack context)

[@GiuseppeM]

0:45 😂😂😂 what?!?

[@DrunkenSlob]

Bush doesn’t sound like Nirvana at all

[@dmvconartists1855]

seriously? i mean they arent good like nirvana but threy clearly copied the song structure and everything

[@dmvconartists1855]

@jasonsudeikis26 mehh they have a few ok song I guess tho

[@bentietz7617]

Whh hg at happened to Kurt Loder???

[@sabbracadabra8367]

He retired after this interview because he knew music had died.

[@changingstars3407]

BUSH IS A GOOD BAND 👍

[@jeffjefferson8137]

i always thought bush sounds like nirvana

[@thechapelperilous]

Now would be the time to bring William Goldsmith back into the fold.

[@chadwickwright2833]

Wrong!!

[@GavenYurisich-nu5zn]

Everclop

[@captaingoodguySentientA.I.]

Kurt died so that Dave could live.

[@chadwickwright2833]

Dumbest statement I’ve read all week.

[@truelovewontwait]

Everclear needs better accountant than they need good songs

[@smittenthekitteninmittens2679]

Bu$h

[@imthegrk]

I never understood Everclear's appeal.

[@aadilharoon1807]

I think it to do with the fact that they sing about things that most bands don't sing about and have a mature astectic

[@spins321]

Wasn't particularly into Everclear back then, but I do remember their lyrics were very poignant, over very poppy licks. Thinking back, I think I may have under estimated them.

[@truelovewontwait]

Heartbreak dollar sign talks about inter racial relationship way before sjw birth unto this earth

[@dmvconartists1855]

its the same as the foo fighters.."power pop". heroin girl was an ok song imo

[@MrCaliforniaLivin]

​@@spins321 that's because Everclear is fucking legendary and was way ahead of most other bands . Listening to it now , it's almost as if it was meant for this era. It's more relevant to me anyway , and still sounds fresh as hell. And everyone who doesn't like Everclear are all a buncha spoiled kids who had it all and both parents. That's why they don't like Everclear, they can't relate 🤷🏽‍♂️
