[@Wolfgang_Amadeus_X_Machina]

Yes! I don't know how old you are but its really interesting to see all this footage of them now with youtube being a thing. In the 90s we just saw the carefully curated clips of them and the media could really shape their irmage.

[@michaelalic3647]

How did you know?

[@skelter1153]

Younger people don't realize that we didn't get to see this entire interview back then, we only saw bits and pieces of it because MTV had to fit it in an 8 minute news piece. They did the 'College Kids Opinion' bit, and then just a tiny bit of Nirvana reacting to the kids, and then maybe another 1 or 2 minutes of Kurt explaining that "Rape Me" is an ANTI rape song and how Dave helped write "Scentless Apprentice." SO... this is a real treat for those of us who saw this original news piece back then and didn't get to watch the entire interview. We get a better glimpse of where their heads were at during this point in time, right after releasing "In Utero." When this piece originally aired, it was cut VERY short. It makes me wonder how much other interview footage must be just sitting in canisters wherever MTV keeps their archives.

[@dirkdarwin2571]

This was the original you were referring to (I watched it too in '93) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJramaqvbLhnp6M

[@JamesCraigWhoop]

I feel bad for the interviewer and Nirvana at the same time. Why they needed an hour seemed strange. Being awkward and you could tell it was early morning for them but play nice w MTV or you wont get your airtime

[@camuscolorado]

Growing up in South America It took me years to see an interview; I'd buy rock magazines that would quote those interviews and that was it. In one of those articles they mentioned Kurt was influenced by The Melvins and that got me wondering about it. Months later I found a CD in an imports store... it was sealed and they wouldn't open it for a listen, so I just bought it without ever listening to it. I'd work weekends for my dad and it took me 3 weeks to get the money to blindly spend it because "Nirvana likes it" 😊 BTW: took me like 5 or 6 listens to properly understand and like the CD and I'm a Melvins fan until Today, over 25 years later. Nowadays, a kid would listen to 30 seconds of it on a streaming playlist and skip it to never hear it again.

[@ciaraskeleton]

Krist is such a sweetheart with Kurt. He's so perceptive to Kurt's anxiety about answering questions and he helps keep the convo going, taking the pressure off him. Kurt died before I was born, but he changed the course of history. He has had such an impact on so many people and honestly he was too good for this fucked up world.

[@jsullivan2112]

Nah that's just Krist. He was always the chatterbox, he's still the same in interviews he does now. Watch his interview with Rick Beato, Kim Thayil and Jack Endino. Kurt never disliked answering questions or interviews, he just hated the dumb questions.

[@birdiedog5]

Don't make kurt into some cartooinish figure or martyr. If you were alive when he was a human with both flaws and talents. He wasn't too good for this world, he had dualistic qualities like all of us but wasn't different from his own contemporaries.

[@ciaraskeleton]

@@birdiedog5 Nirvana, Kurt, changed the entire trajectory of music, they did change the course of history. it's not cartoonish to mention that, being the kind of person Kurt seemed to be, that Krist, being his friend, helped fill silences and keep convo flowing during interviews. Kurt doesn't know what to say, or is baffled by interviewers, or is misinterpreted by them and then Krist kinda manages it. Then Dave yells something from the back 🤣 That's what my point was

Some of my earliest musical memories are of Nevermind when it was released, that sound is the framework for what a lot of adolescence is to me. I grew up with Nirvana, it’s a little sweet and sad that Nirvana didn’t get to grow up with me but it’s also part of what makes it very very special.

I had a whole collection of magazines with him on the cover memorializing him when he passed, and of course they all got lost in a move. Such a devastating thing.

I remember when Nirvana was new my Nana said, what is this rubbish? I said what are you talking about Nana? It's good! She said, music isn't what it used to be. I said, well things change. (Famous last words). Now I'm watching this coz music isn't what it used to be and I miss it. Life is constant change and nostalgia I guess. And that is part of the problem and the solution. I miss my Nana telling me music isn't what it used to be now. Coz I miss her and miss musicians like Kurt and now I'd totally agree. The whole world isn't what it used to be now. But my boy loves singing his little kid tunes! Lol So that's good 😂☺️ That's the main thing. I'm just old and so I've gotten pessimistic.

I love Nirvana! They are one of the reasons I play guitar. But, some people give Kurt way too much credit, and he's kinda honest about that, but people miss it for some reason. Dave's drums are powerful. If Chad was still their drummer for Nevermind, it might not have done so well. Chris had some bass lines that were like melodies on their own. It made Kurt's "three chords" sound more impressive. All of them together made what we love. It really wasn't just Kurt, and I have a lot of respect for the late man.

[@WyldeRatttz]

Agreed! John Lennon arguably made his most interesting work while in the Beatles, and I think that's true of most artists. The creative synergy and tension of working with a band spurs people on to greater heights than if they're on their own. One of Nirvana's guitar techs made the excellent point that Kurt couldn't have done what he did without Krist and Dave's support. He compared the relationship between Krist and Kurt to that of Sam and Frodo and I think that's a great assessment. Kurt really needed a strong, stabilizing influence and he really got that with Krist and Dave.

[@MilkoOfficialChannel]

With Chad the sound would’ve changed a little bit but the songs in Nevermind were already demoed, recorded and produced by Butch Vig it would’ve been success anyway. The Beatles had Ringo, and Chad was a Ringo.

I miss Kurt 💜

Yes. Binge. This is very interesting. They so clearly just wanna rock. I worked at a record store & recall when we received one copy of “Nevermind” on new release Tuesday. No one saw the looming stardom coming.

You can see the scar on Kurt's forehead where he snuffed out a cigarette in a fit of rage with Courtney. By this time, he was heavily drugged just to get through the day.

Back then i was 11 /12 and a Big GNR fan ..i looked like a Mini Kurt (because that was the Style back then even without Nirvana) ......i recognized them, but liked them but not so much (smells sounded too Raw to me i came from Bands like Queen etc)....i started to listen to Nirvana many Years Later...What a Great Band they are! I like especially the early Live Gigs they did at Colleges like 89 green river live ....great Live Band....They deserved everything around them, the Worldwide Fans etc. RIP Kurt Cobain

They were talking about ticket prices, and they amazed that Madona is charging $50 while they were charging $18. Now Foo Fighter tickets go from $100 - $600.

[@ashleyphillips5477]

Kurt had the looks and the talent and the charisma, but he was really insecure and unhappy. he had serious health problems and a severe drug addiction. I think he felt pressured and judged by people when he became famous. it bothered him so much he could never enjoy it. He did not have the personality type to be able to handle it the right way. he also did not have the right people around him to help him. people knew he tried to kill himself before. they knew he overdosed often. they knew he had depression. how could such an important guy in the music industry just walk out of a rehab facility. he should have been in a locked unit, getting way more help. it just baffles me that people around him let him fall through the cracks. I know there is only so much you can do for someone and if they don't want help, you can't force them, but still. 27 years old and gone like that. it's tragic

yes, but he wasn't a bad person, that's the intersection where most go off track with judgement...

You can't stop someone from taking drugs if they are a DRUG ADDICT. They have to hit rock bottom and decide to get clean on their own. So don't blame other people.

[@ashleyphillips5477]

@@dextermoore278 I am aware you can't stop someone from taking drugs if they are a drug addict, and that a lot of his problems were his own choice. he still had people around him that enabled his bad habits and didn't look out for him the right way. he made a lot of bad choices, and he was surrounded by other people that enabled him, including his wife. so don't act like people around him didn't fail him in some way. they did

[@leeprobert7420]

Dave turns to krist at the end “Do I embarrass you” 😅😂

[@synthesis12]

I love their stance on guns, and how they were against the glorification of violence in rap music (pushed a lot by the industry) that was hitting it's stride around that time. Kurt really did own an M16 from what I understand, and even Jerry Garcia from the Grateful Dead owned firearms and was photographed shooting a rifle. Krists answer that they are just tools was spot on, and fun to shoot!

[@thealternative9580]

Kurt killed himself with a gun you cornball.

[@synthesis12]

@@thealternative9580 yes, that is a method some take to commit that act, you doofus lol. Were you born under a rock or something? What's your point, or do you even have the braincells to make one ? Chris Cornell hung himself with an exercise band (that is..if you believe they committed suicide, which some don't). They use tools (like knives and firearms) and medications and all sorts of various things.

[@jc.1191]

I agree too. It's gun culture that's gone rotten. Technically not guns in and of themselves. Even worse as time went on.

[@joesmith9216]

I actually like them both better for that answer, now adays though....what would they say???

[@synthesis12]

@@joesmith9216 Good question, I wonder what Dave's response would be like also. They are so rich now that I'm sure they need to have armed guards when they go places, which would suck IMO. Unfortunately that's the world we live in :(. I'm sure Krist is still anti-war and would be pushing for diplomacy right now with the war situation, as I remember he was heavily into the conflict in his family's homeland back in the 90's under Clinton. Hopefully he's doing charity work. Shooting sports are fun, I shoot clays and there's plenty of competition shooting and hunting to do, so I agree with the above comment about how gun culture has been ruined, and the sad thing is there are too many guns on the street that are not registered or anything that aren't seized as often as they should be, and I bet the cartel's have unlimited funding to keep sending illegal arms back and forth into this Country.

[@portlandgoose4727]

Parts of this were hard to watch. So much evidence of how much distance had grown between Kurt and Krist + Dave. Especially Dave (for his stance against hard drugs). I feel so bad for Dave here. Afraid to be his energetic, fun-loving, social self. And clearly deeply saddened and hurt by Kurt’s passively-aggressive behavior, subtle sarcasm, and concealed insults. Krist looks so exasperated at times. They clearly both know how severely Kurt is crashing and burning. For Christ sake, “In Utero” was almost called “I Hate Myself and I Want to Die”. Fucking brutal.

[@Hand_Painted_Tie]

Very perceptive and poignant take. This is even more evident in that August 1993 outdoor interview the band near the water with the Seattle skyline in the background. There was almost no joking around the entire first half of the interview. Krist is more subdued than I've ever seen him, Kurt seems extra moody, and Dave is just trying to keep up with the whole charade. The early band interviews are a night & day comparison to 1993.
