Great interview! Earnie Bailey comes across as a very cool down-to-earth guy!

[@rockerbob949]

As I’m listening to In Utero.....this notification comes on!

[@travis6339]

Thank you for reaching out to guys like Earnie Bailey, I think they’re often overlooked when talking about Nirvana, and it’s unfortunate because they have so much perspective and experience to share. I also never would have known that he makes and sells guitars. I wonder if he’s build me a left handed one. In addition, it’s really inspiring to hear his story and how he played into this phenomenon. Great interview

[@UltraMagaSwagga]

Bernie is the greatest to get that grit & crunch dialed in back then is amazingly delightful to still hear

[@rd6144]

I’ve been a huge Nirvana fan since I was 9 I’m 27 now, I watched this to hear about Nirvana but to my surprise the first few minutes have made me feel a bit better about the fact that both of my grandfathers have passed away in the past 17 days. This guy is the most down to earth guitar tech I’ve ever heard, what a sound lad. (I’m Irish sound means cool)

[@heydannypark]

I'm sorry to hear about your two gramps lighting out for the territories so close together. Seem like quite the sound lads as well, given how highly you speak of them. I feel strange speaking to you from two years in the future, but perhaps by now you're set straight and out of the sixes and sevens. Not every light at the end of a tunnel is from the front of a train. Long days to you, son, and pleasant nights.

[@rd6144]

@@heydannypark what's the craic

[@nickcharles6530]

Thanks so much for doing these interviews, Daniel, and thanks to Earnie Bailey for allowing you to speak with him. These are really respectful, you ask intelligent, pertinent questions, and seem to have dug up singular information about the band and Kurt, whereas everyone else drudges up the same material/recycled gossip. Please continue, I would love to hear a sit-down talk with Tracy Marander or Toby Vail (the girl who inspired “Teen Spirit” and much of Nevermind).

[@user-hw6kq1fn2l]

And with Krist Novoselic too. (For example, about Nirvana reunions)...

[@ruairijohnston5718]

Great interviews Ernie seems like a cool lovely guy

[@Xxmeca421xX]

It goes to show that a lot of these guys just loved being asked about kurt and Nirvana. It's inspiring that this guy no one knows can get in touch with these legends and create better content than tv hosts and Hollywood

[@cheddarbaldivia4233]

Please please please

[@excessmeteor9704]

Fantastic job from the man interviewing. Good questions gives all the room in the world for Ernie to respond. Perfect!

[@junomaxzoey5146]

Wow. I was mesmerized by this interview. Earnie was so insightful. Thank you so much for doing this.

[@shadcovert1160]

Heck yeah! Came sooner then expected! Very pleased to watch this.

[@jessellewellyn6787]

So happy I’ve found all these videos! Thank you!

[@pureone26]

Best description of Kurt I have heard.

[@mireilleblacke6567]

One of the best you've done, because Ernie is so authentic. I really felt this one. Thank you.

[@sunsetcliffs98]

What an amazing interview! So insightful.

[@punkndisorderly3324]

Great work here mate seriously, thanks so much

[@gregkelly9396]

Thanks for this man

[@vampirewilde]

Kurt went hang gliding in South America. Amazing. That snippet alone makes this one of the best Nirvana interviews in recent times

[@MrFatshit6]

Earnie is such a total badass. Great interview as usual, Daniel!

[@konradfraczek6482]

Wonderful completely new insight into it all. Thank you both.

[@LSD123.]

Great interview.

[@wutangpjs5055]

Great interview. I was a nirvana maniac when I was younger and these are some great great stories. When are we going to get a Craig Montgomery interview?

[@dynjarren7523]

A decent guy who seems very loyal to Kurt and doing a good job for him as a guitar 🎸 tech. Good interview.

[@wk4max263]

Guitar tech Earnie Bailey.... YOU LEGEND!!! 😁 thanks Daniel another fascinating eoisode!! ...Cheers Mate!!! Max Liverpool UK

[@HukkitukkiUK]

What a fantastic interview! So so interesting, thank you Daniel for making this channel happen. I wonder if one day Krist will have an interview. He is/was so funny and goofy…they all were.

[@delanoarts3703]

Really enjoyed this the perspective of the road crew is just cool what a job and what amazing experience to do what he did very cool interview

[@jacksamunster4407]

Great interviews.

[@phnigra111]

Intriguing interview

[@ericrenquist6494]

I really think your channel is a history archive on Nirvana. I hope these videos stay up for a long time. There's so many gaps these interviews fill in.

[@josephcardozo4986]

Hi Daniel, thanks, this is amazing! would love to see the interview in it’s natural flow...this one seems to be edited out of order?

[@chuck6033]

Excellent. Excellent birds eye view of Nirvana. Good stuff. Being a good backline tech is all about having back-up gear. Keep an SVT parked behind the 8x10 ready to go. Put a spare kick pedal under the drum riser. Always have a guitar strung up and tuned close at hand. And never leave the stage during the show.

[@scottpannell2286]

Really nice guy. Thanks for sharing the memories. Kurt hanglided?! That’s great!

[@chammiequeen7838]

I wish this had been one third nirvana and more about this man’s craft. Also Foo Fighters is such a guitar band it would have been great to hear about that.

[@stella-vu8vh]

thanks for not asking a bunch of redundant questions

[@irishofling2300]

great i wished to lidten to an interview with Mr. Bailey because its so interesting to listen to somebody who was in it and knew Kurt from this musical friendly side, great, and I was so surprised because my favourite Nirvana son is very ape, too! Lyrics are great and music very good! Great to listen to him saying the same! And my 2nd ist radio friendly unit shifter, Followed by heartshaped box. Inzeresting also to read the book Hit so hard by Patti Schemel, because she knew him in as a friend

[@vincenzovalentino5005]

You look like Jake gyllenhaal and jared leto. Also, fantastic videos!

[@uriahfiiya]

Great interviews! I’d love to see Chad Channing on here!

[@pabcrane]

Great interview. I'm pretty sure that Tony the dancer is a musician from the UK.

[@efester]

He is. Danced at a few of their shows (6 comes to mind). There's a good interview with him somewhere, going into a bit of detail

[@mushroomleg]

The part about him fixing things and not being able to fix nirvana kind of got to me. Great interview.

[@randybiro9295]

I toured with Alice in chains and their unplugged was so similar to what this guy shares about Iran's unplugged. Ours had a band rehearsal that was a mess in some ways. What I recall was label and management wanted to record rehearsal at Columbia's studio in Manhattan and when the band noticed cables going out of the room and followed them to a sneaky recording that had the band lose it. I also seem to recall that layne did not rehearse. When they started the show I started crying because they were the incredible band they were at most times with Layne. Why the tears was bringing back fond memories and not expecting such a great performance. We were scheduled for 2 days, I think, and outside of running out of tape and maybe a rough spot, they did themselves the Justice they so deserved. So weird how unplugged was an issue with other bands.

[@tylerbunch6826]

Nirvana in France of 93.. could you ask him what happened to the red guitar?? that cut out during drain you. I've always wondered

[@liamjonasscale]

Great interview. Earnie really is the at the top of the family tree of fender having 50 different models of guitars now and not 2.

[@HukkitukkiUK]

That salmon coloured guitar Earnie made!!! It’s wonderful….does he sell them?

[@cannaventureseeds2909]

If yall dig this, you should read Ernie Baileys book.... A great in depth read.. Really well written. Good stuff.

[@GiviFaaip]

What’s his book?? I can’t find it anywhere

[@elefantrising]

He was a guy that was good at his job.

[@westonflus15]

When will you do a video about how Nirvana created aneurysm?

[@scottpannell2286]

@danielsarkissian you want me to put you in touch with dancing Tony? He’s got some great stories of nirvana.

[@COLLYD420]

Daniel I have an idea for an interview. My friend Simon was good friends with Kurt. He was 5 when he met him and wrote letters to him. He had a band called the stinky puffs and ended up with a few smashed guitars. He has great stories of Kurt and his friendship. I can get u in contact with him

[@ajg5138]

Your friend was 5 and Kurt was how old?

[@Teekay617]

I wish Kurt just had more people around him just watching him, because without Kurt there is no Nirvana, you'd think people would be watching him like a hawk trying to help him. Somebody should have been there with him at the rehab in a hotel near him. My opinion

[@davide.b8027]

Love that comment about when Kurt was destroying his guitar, how you would hear the guitar scream. That describes that process perfectly. Kurt really loved the process of guitar destruction.

[@delanoarts3703]

And Chris is so underrated he had so many cool bass riffs pretty much every single one he played lol but my favorite is love buzz what a cool bass line if you listen to it he does a bunch of really interesting and just plain good bass runs he is all over the fret bord tight playing no Chris no nirvana there is no way kurt could of kept going with out Chris

[@Riffmaster227]

It’s Krist not Chris, but yes I agree with everything you said.

[@eltoro969]

Great ones. Ask question, shut up and carry on.

[@Xxmeca421xX]

What's that guitar shape above his left ear? It's driving me crazy. It's really ugly but I can't figure it out

[@beerd859]

SUBBB ESPAÑOL PLEASEEE

[@excessmeteor9704]

Also my view of Kurt. He was cute, corky, quiet, grumpy, artsy and so much more he was a beautiful mess. Most of all he was simply human.

[@saproductions140]

what show did he mention in the beginning?

[@stella-vu8vh]

new music seminar, Roseland ballroom, 11-93??? I think, I don't know the exact date

[@magistral3218]

00:00 57:24

[@dannyfauzi7940]

Bleach I remember the song that have a great impact on me that it made me interested to learn play guitar was love buzz.. ... I know it's a cover but damn they make covers a masterpiece than the original...

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Love buzz is my favorite nirvana track!

[@coolbro6969]

holy shit, is Earnie Bailey JORDAN PETERSON??

[@Riffmaster227]

😂😂😂

[@lops6179]

Pretty sure I know Rob. He crashed on Kurt’s couch for a while when he was 19.

[@Riffmaster227]

Jared Leto interviews Jordan Peterson!

[@DanielSarkissian]

😂

[@drunkdadchronicles]

the same is true for 311 and their home town of Omaha...Omaha is ground zero for 311 hate, it's stupid.

[@djpvma]

I appreciate the interview, but he's such an introvert that he feels like he has to explain everything before he even gets around to the actual answer.

[@lakewashington5354]

CLICK HERE TO SEE KURT COBAIN IN THE GREENHOUSE

[@krauz111]

no gear questions what a waste

[@Warmfuzzyfeelings]

Love this guys videos but I don’t like the guys face 😂😂😂

[@rockerbob949]

Why not drop 500k pots in when he swapped out single coils pickups for humbuckers? Unless you suck at soldering, it’s easy!

[@bigmuffexpress]

It was expected that Kurt would smash them, so they didn't bother swapping them over. Soldering is easy and replacing pots is easy, but you're looking at a time consuming and fiddly process (for 4 mustangs too) for something that may not even last a few weeks.

[@rockerbob949]

Oaf Lodge I’m surprised he even put a humbucker in then!!

[@JacksonvilleNirvaLit]

Daniel put your true webcam on it not this one which is kinda fake dude 😆
