I love how narduar just hijacks someone else's interview

[@fefepleats]

Jimmy Mendillo and most likely does better than him.

[@T3n50r]

And I love how that interviewer is all smiling and chiming in about the vinyl instead of being let down/pissed about Nardwuar stealing his time/interview.

[@grog0cean]

yeah what the hell lol

[@jedisith3864]

It's because the Nard has never changed. Biggest balls in the industry with the biggest grab bag of factoids to ad lib and delivered with the sharpest witt.

[@jasonlieberman4606]

As official onstage interview at a major music festival no less!

[@juswolf22]

Crazy he was in nirvana he looks like a spokesman for Apple

[@juswolf22]

fernando adrian Gutierrez yea but Alice cooper and ozzy grew up as well, but this guy is the first you would never tell had a rock history.

[@jimmyog]

well... he's old now

[@verbaledge]

he dressed pretty conservatively at times when he was younger too

[@Sllyk]

It's the beard

[@pape37]

I've heard there's an unwritten rule that once you turn 30, have over 30 million dollars and have sold 30 million records, you can finally stop dressing like you just climbed out of a garbage bin.

[@MovieMonkez]

Krist is the perfect example of your friends dad who "used to be in a band back in the day" and now plays in the worships at church

[@edfeltch]

MovieMonkez A band like The Beatles,don't bs.

[@sephirothstein2943]

Edward Feltch lmao I bet you and the other edgy kids talk about how great nirvana was during home room

[@edfeltch]

Sephi Rothstein Hello!I am sorry to distort your vision,I was 34 when I met Kurt at Manray, in Cambridge,Mass,back in '88. I began playing his band on my Connecticut College radio show shortly after.Reminiscing with me and my wife after a show in New Haven,which drew only 168 paying attendees,in Sept '91,he said it was some of their first East Coast airplay .By the way,to shine a light on Kurt's generosity,personality and punk spirit against authority,that night the show was at a 21+ bar called The Moon,so Kurt repeatedly went outside and escorted groups of the penniless teen gutter punks who hung out at shows,into the place.My pal Fern,who booked the show,was pulling his hair out ,but I loved it. Be sweet.Class over.

the fact that Nardwuar interviews krist in the middle of another interview is hysterical

[@almerylc128]

The way nardwuar stayed the same back in 1994 and in 2017 in front of totally changed Krist makes it look like he just travels through time

[@doxskew2221]

Doesn't help that nardwuar literally doesn't age

[@dccasey1]

It's because he freezes in time after each interview. Did you guys not see that? It happens at the end of every interview.

The greatest character development in music

[@noahmarshal1987]

THAT IS CALLED TO MATURE

[@nektarpanagiotis6707]

Yeah but tbf Krist was probably intoxicated back then and at some points during the interview he had nice interactions with Nardwuar

[@williamtomlinson4322]

When he interviewed them in 94 he barged his way into the green room essentially which is why the interview starts off with them mocking him and refusing to engage cause they just wanted to wind down after their set and he was intruding. Nirvana never really did interviews. By the end of that interview they held him in relatively high regards and actually started getting along. It’s unsurprising to me that when he was approached in 2017 while in a setting where he was already prepared for an interview he was more approachable.

[@everythinggeekdotcom]

@@williamtomlinson4322 No Courtney brought him through, actually.

[@bodysoap3838]

He really seems guilty for treating Nardwuar the way he did in the 90s. It's really sad.

[@FrancoisDressler]

Couldn't shake that off my mind this whole interview. Regret is a bitch. Glad Krist came to his senses.

[@creatrixtrodler6659]

Because we where all such peaches filled with love and understanding when we where in our 20s right ?

I think about 25 is when I started to notice I treated people like shit for no reason.
