NIRVANA 12-10-1993 MTV interview with Kurt Loder (FULL)

I was a teen in the 90s and I loved the 60s back then, as well as what was happening at the time. I loved all the different eras and many subgenres of rock and I still do. Only, 2010-2021 has been miserable for rock.

I love how Krist gets progressively more drunk and random as the interview drags on. Funny guy. Dave sure started to pipe up more in later years, so quiet here. I like this interview, funny, entertaining, human. So much fanaticism these days towards Nirvana. Everyone forgets most bands are just a bunch of people who like to laugh and are surprised when anyone wants to take them so seriously. Too bad it went down the way it did. Didn't seem like it had to.

Such a shame Kurt couldn't at least take a year off to collect himself, and keep going.

[@inferiordior]

Adam Smith I feel like if he took a year off people would get mad and stop supporting them because Nirvana was always so quick and fast paced when working

[@inferiordior]

@Twilight living true, but Kurt was always worried about what people thought of him, that's part of the reason he didn't take a break. He wanted to leave Nirvana, and was about to before his death but before that, it was a really hard thing for him to do

@@inferiordior Time off would of made their next album even more anticipated. But that’s not it, a year off wasn’t an answer. He’s misunderstood in a way people don’t understand. Taking a year off didn’t matter. Drug addicts ( i was like Kurt for years) say, do and write things they don’t actually mean but believe, Being high or in withdraw changes everything. He killed himself because he couldn’t see life clean, withdraw was overwhelming, and he realized everyone wasnt going to put up with him doing it anymore. It’s so obvious to me as an addict who’s clean. Kurt was forced to go into withdrawl which makes you go crazy, think crazy etc, then he decided to leave rehab and hide from everyone, was being chased down by friends and PI’s and he got high because that’s all that was really important to him (and every addict) shows EXACTLY what happened there’s no mystery. He didn’t see the light, didn’t see it as possible and figured if he had to WD and people weren’t going support or accept his addiction anymore, he gave up. He went and got high and decided it wasn’t possible in that state of mind. It had nothing to do with his fame or not enjoying it, that was an excuse, he might not of even realized it wasn’t true. I’m not bashing him I just hate how simple it is. When I read he left rehab and hid and got high and bought a shotgun, I realized this instantly. Most addicts are depression cases or whatever mental issues, and that contributes. But heroin is a different devil, if I was being forced into rehab, being chased by friends, PI’s etc and felt I didn’t even have time to think, I don’t know that I would of ultimately got clean myself, everyone who goes threw WD has these thoughts, maybe his depression made the difference, but it was ultimately the pressure of having to get clean or else was the major factor. Dude should of been given space, talked to as if he was in control instead of being chased and told what to do, and maybe he wouldn’t of became too overwhelmed. I can see this so clearly, he just didn’t have the space to think it all over, he was in a corner, out of his mind, overwhelmed, scared, being chased, we’re all major factors

@@jeffreyval9665 Unfortunately, I know exactly what you are talking about, lol. My life has taken some detours down that very dark and twisted forest. As for Kurt, that definitely played into it [The producer of their "MTV Unplugged" described how the first half of the rehearsal, he was agitated, moody, seemed a bit ill. Then a 'band friend' showed up with a package, they took a break, and Kurt returned with a bit of swing in his step, lol. BUT, that said, by most accounts he was the kind of person who was just prone to things like mood swings, emotional fragility, and unpredictability in general; even from childhood. There's also the side note that he was either the third or 4th male in the family prone to severe depression, and all of whom committed suicide by gunshot...kind of spooky, you know?

Such a close-knit group of guys, sharing everything from stories to cigarettes! It may seem a small thing, but the way they helped each other tell their stories and light each other's cigarette, and literally share the same cigarette, really seemed to be a microcosm of their deep bonds with one another. Really cool to watch this in its entirety because they were so tight on stage; they were obviously just as close off stage. It's so interesting though if this was Dec 10, 1993, and Kurt was so optimistic and content with the current tour and yet just three months later he was hospitalized for allegedly accidentally overdosing on pain killers which preceded him having the flu and suffering from fatigue. And, then of course a month after that he died. I don't want to entertain any conspiracy theories but things took a turn for the worst so quickly. Also, side note: When did Pat Smear start playing with them?!?!

[@a5dr3]

They weren’t close here. There was a ton of infighting pretty much right after Nevermind hit. Dave was a hire and always felt like an outsider, at one point a few months before this interview he quit, Kurt didn’t like him for a lot of reasons, Krist and Kurt had grown apart because of a lot of financial issues and Kurt’s drug problem etc. - Pat was the only one that got along with everyone. Kurt hired him at Courtney’s suggestion the week of the SNL In Utero show. The underlying problem of pretty much everything as I understand it, was Kurt’s heroin addiction. It brought out the worst parts of him and destabilized every aspect of the band. They all have too much class to talk about it, but towards the end he had become impossible to deal with. His suicide was an act of monumental selfishness.

Hearing them talk about the tour coming up in feb/March was so sad

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

Aw, that was so cool when he said Pat’s smile gives him hope.

[@stephaniemccoy9602]

Kurt was very fond of Pat. So much so I remember from an article or book saying he loved him and invited him to join Nirvana without talking with the others although its been said that Courtney introduced them so I don't know which is true. He closed himself off from Dave and Krist and was closer to Pat than about anybody towards the end.

[@ThisLeprechaunWrites]

Well, 2 of the most genuine people that ever existed. I would NOT put Dave Grohl in that camp. Dude became a complete corporate stooge for Big Pharma and a cheesy stadium shlock rocker. Sell out. Grohl became everything that the other two Novoselic and Cobain were not.

[@bryngardner3187]

I can’t stand all the comments talking about kurts death and drug addiction and not him here, in the moment. Stop focusing on his sadness or conspiracies of his death and focus on how funny he was and his words, his knowledge. Not his death and addiction, that’s not a way to remember someone you “idolise”

[@krisfrederick5001]

Amen. Their chemistry and banter was great.

[@roberth4395]

His pain and addiction was a part of him. If he would not have the constant stomach pain, then most likely he would not start to do drugs. He would write different lyrics. The media might never pick him up and he would die in old age as a noname nobody. Without the pain we would have a completly different Kurt so it is not possible to talk about him without bringing the drugs and the other self destructive stupid things he did.

[@AndrewLemmings]

Thank you. Finally someone says something. Addiction is a disease of the brain and you’re being high jacked. But you can’t focus of a person and constantly talking as if They were always addicted and high, you gotta just enjoy them in the moment. Kurt was much more than That. Nobodies title is their bad habits and weaknesses, but rather their strengths and talents.

[@roberth4395]

@@AndrewLemmings Kurt's lyrics came from his pain. *The way his parents neglected him* _The never ending stomach pain that destroyed his life. (He started doing drugs, because of this. At least he said this in an interview.)_ *The hopelessness of the era* _The way Love used and manipulated him_ _You know you're right_ *etc* You cannot talk about someone without threating them as a whole person. If you disect him and you only look at his "positives", then you will get a fake person and not the real deal.

[@AndrewLemmings]

Robert H his pain yes, but also hey was promoting feminism in most songs, and some songs were about masturbation. But he also was a true musician. He was a very rare type. I know where he came from because I come from the same background. It’s a dark place. I’m so sad he never could find recovery and find what he was looking for in life. He was offered recovery but he was not ready. No good music from a happy place, that’s rare. Most all music comes from a dark place. Kurt was very talented and was a pop icon without being a pop musician and Nirvana being a pop band. They were pop in the sense of their melodic, quiet loud quiet, verse chorus verse, pop oriented formula of creating new songs through music coming first as all bands do, even my band being a melodic metalcore band does that, and lyrics come secondary. Kurt was a genius. RIP

[@jimmysaboter3]

What Dave Grohl says at around 39:50 , about Steve Albini putting a strobe light to be used as a metronome for the drum tracking of "In Utero", was a technique also used by Tommy Ramone for the first Ramones album. Tommy thought it was a great trick btw.

[@mance02]

Fun interview, fun interview. I love Kurt Loder. He seems like a pretty cool guy to just talk to, like he so amply demonstrated here. I really love that guy; AND I love you too, Kurt. :D

[@mance02]

***** Aww heck yeauh!!!

[@ellenray9433]

I think that Kurt seemed like he was high. He kept his glasses on and kept looking up with a little mellow grin on his face. He is incredibly beautiful in this interview. In fact, the last 6 months of his life Kurt looked fantastic, and his singing voice was perfection. The MTV Unplugged performance was his best ever, in my opinion. I remember watching it at the time it was first aired and I was thinking that his voice sounded phenomenal. I am happy to hear Kurt Loder complimenting him on it because I have read that he was insecure about singing with the acoustics instead of the loud electric instruments. Watch Kurt as they joke about killing themselves on stage. That is creepy as hell. The MTV Unplugged performance was like a funeral service . after Kurt died it was like Kurt was saying goodbye and eulogizing himself. I loved Kurt back then and I still love him today. He was brilliant and so sensitive, unlike the majority of men who I know. Kurt will live on forever in my heart. He was a god.

[@theexcavator4740]

+Ellen Ray He was coming into his prime thats why, he ended it way to soon. Way to soon.

[@ellenray9433]

+The Excavator I completely agree with you. He checked out before he even got to the best part of life. He was definitely coming into his prime. I'd have lived to see him at about age 35. That is the perfect age, when you're still young enough to look good and feel good, but you have gained some real experiences in life, and you are maturing and learning the truth about what really matters in life and who you are and what that means to yourself and to others. Damn tragedy that Kurt left us at such a young age. It makes me sick every time I think about it.

[@DiegosHideout]

But unfortenally he was killed, and all other facts are totall crap.

[@jtucker813]

That's exactly how I feel, 27 damn he had so much in store for him, I had just barely understood life at that age. But I myself refuse to believe he killed himself, not trying to stir up controversy, but my belief was he was killed, by who I don't know but I think Courtney had something to do with it. I just do not imagine him giving up like that.

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

+Dave Obsessed - remember he was on heroin when he killed himself, he wasn't in his right mind and had been in a disturbed state since the Rome incident which may or may not have been a suicide attempt. But I firmly believe drugs were the reason he died.

[@nelliesilvers1210]

I've been wanting a Jagstang for a while. To play Kurt's chords on a guitar he designed would be epic

[@freeecountryy]

@@nelliesilvers1210 Go for it if you want to, but I would recommend the signature Jaguar that Fender released a little while back. It's such a nice guitar to play. It's based exactly on the model he played (you can see it on the Paramount show) and has a really nice feeling, really thin neck too. The Jagstang, besides looking weird, never really clicked. Even Kurt didn't like it after a while. I play an early 90's Jaguar and would recommend them to anyone.
