Krist Novoselic Loves Kurt Cobain - (Krist talks about his best friend for 8 minutes) - NIRVANA

[@gracesedan4759]

“Done that” “Died the way he chose to die” 30 years later, he still can’t say suicide or killed himself. Kurt was his best friend. Krist truly loved him. They were best friends, but there last interaction was a fight, with Kurt’s last words to him being “fuck you”. I really wish they made up and Kurt stayed around. If he saw what it would do to Krist he would have never done it.

[@xvaderxkiller5190]

The way he says “he shouldn’t have done what he did” so many times just tells you how much Kurt meant to Kris he just can’t bare the words it’s so sad

[@Goatchild90]

That story about Krist looking for a left handed guitar every time he passed a pawn shop shortly after Kurt died is one of the most heartbreaking things I've heard

[@matiasaguilar2500]

It's surprisingly common, death isn't something rational to people. We can't fully grasp then idea of someone just going away, just disappearing, it's an odd idea for our brains. My mother lost her mother in a transit accident, and years laters she was still thinking about buying her kitchen items, just to be reminded that she was not there. Same happened to Krist, and it's really sad, one second he was at the top of the world jamming with his best friend, the next one, his best friend is gone, it's easy to see why it took Krist son long to fully process it

[@mattj376]

We all feel the loss of a great musician/icon but Krist lost his best friend

[@roddyboethius1722]

Krist had paid a heavy price to be himself. A lovely, compassionate man

[@static_blonde]

Saddest part is when he’s talking about the dreams with him and they go and play in his dreams

[@GR1NDMOD22]

And having to wake up realizing what he lost

[@its-me9951]

hearing that really makes me super sad.

[@GIBKEL]

Looking out for left handed guitar is heart breaking. No heart break is as bad as losing someone you love that way.

[@Wargasm54]

Yeah man. When he said “I don’t have to do that anymore “…..brutal

[@The_Knight_Mayor]

The most underrated bass player in rock history... over Shadowed by two huge rock stars in Kurt and then Dave. He had some pretty complicated baselines that dance around Kurtz simple chords. Underrated. Very humble and clearly proud of Dave Grohl to anyone who ever thought he was jealous

[@Steaminlidz]

There’s a kinda funky element to his playing that’s very individual. He swings.

[@The_Knight_Mayor]

@AnNWord Cook Lounge Act is always the first song I point people to. There was never any doubt in my mind that Krist came up with those bass lines.

[@chickenfist1554]

@@The_Knight_Mayor Probably my favourite Nirvana song (or one of) and what inspired me to start playing bass in my mid teens. I don't care what anyone says, the tone of that bassline is perfect.

[@jejealin]

@SamuelEMPowell131He is not a virtuoso but he was the perfect bassplayer for Nirvana. He didnt play the root notes of the chords all the time. You are the fraud.

[@HBIKevin]

@@jejealin It also must be awful to spend your whole life denigrating people because you don't agree with their politics. That's going to look rather shallow when and if he ever gets any recovery.

[@user-ef1qm2gy1t]

Just imagine founding an high school band and when you're 15 with your best friends and just playing a lot of random shit cause you have anything else to do...and then you're band became better and recognize on his local scene...and a couple of years later that ting that you creat with your friend became the most popular band in the world in a couple of months and everybody wants to sounds like you, to looks like you...all the rock and social culture of an entire young generation around the world is gravitating around you're band...You're the new Elvis, the new Beatles, that one in a million band who succeed to reach the higher step....and then it all stop THAT WAY. Man this is heartbroking, big respect and love for Krist !

[@LilHondaCivic808]

1:47”maybe we would’ve sucked look at the foo fighters 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@manicfoot]

Poor Krist still carries the weight of the loss around with him. Whenever I see him with Dave I get the feeling that they love eachother a lot, but there's also a lingering sadness because them being together reminds them that Kurt isn't here.

[@saxlaxdm10]

It's so painful how he can never bring himself to say "suicide" or "killed himself". Listening to Krist talk about Kurt is different than Dave because they were friends and band mates longer and grew up in the same place. There's a stronger connection.

[@The_Knight_Mayor]

I have always said his death has affected Krist more than anyone else even more than Kurts mother sister wife or child. Sadly, we see that same synamic recently between Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins... speaking as someone who lost his bandmate who was also my highschool best friend to a drug overdose couple years ago... The Band of Brothers Best friend...two cogs of the ssme wheel connection we had was impenetrable. Thank god we completed a demo. Putting something together for his daughter before publication. Krist has a very visible hole in his soul and is still very much full grief. The manner in which he defelcts and avoids, says it all.

[@benjable7502]

krist also had the airport fight with him a few days before he offed himself and it was the last time they ever saw eachother

[@sadhu7191]

No one seems to want to say it.

[@sadhu7191]

Kurt's last months he hid from everyone . They tried to check up on him but would not answer door and stuff.

[@juniorxranger]

I think about this often. It's difficult to articulate but there's something beautiful about it. When you're that close to someone and have a long shared history, being angry at that person doesn't mean you don't love them or that you aren't friends. It's kinda taboo to so plainly state that someone should not have committed suicide, but he goes directly there every time, even though it kinda derails interviews and makes people uncomfortable. He still expects Kurt to hold up his end of the friendship. I think it's a fair expectation of brothers. He has every right to never accept what happened and to judge Kurt for it. In some way, it keeps the friendship alive.

[@D-String]

0:50 Man, that hits hard!

[@thehutch7728]

Around 6:00 he talks about being in his 40s and looking at Kurt, who is still in his 20s, and I think of that all the time. I was a teenager when Nirvana got huge, and to me, they were so cool, and adult, and Kurt was already married and had a baby… Now that I’m in my 40s, and have a kid in her 20s, I look back and see them as big, goofy, kids. 😂 It’s really weird to outlive people you admired and thought of as “the grownup in the room.”

[@andreryan4903]

Krist has a beautiful soul. Whether death or divorce, when someone you love leaves it stays with you. Time makes it easier, but I don’t know if it heals.

[@benjamink7105]

I really think Krist didn't think Kurt was capable of that. I think the way Cobain went out was a genuine shock to Krist.

[@getheroutofthetruck]

Krist was more than a brother to Kurt. It's hard to listen to him talk about his buddy, because he really loved him.

[@redmi9anio]

This is so sad. 😟😔 As true friends since they were kids, we know Krist really love Kurt by the way Krist is answering questions about Kurt, he carefully avoids using the word suicide or killed himself. 😟😔

[@chickenfist1554]

Nirvana were and still are my favourite band of all time. When Kurt died I'd been 16 for less than a week and actually cried when I heard it on the news. I'm now 45 and that was the only time where someone I'd never met passing away moved me to tears. Kurt and Nirvana had an impact on more lives than I think they could comprehend.

[@SAMSQUANCHed]

[@breakcreate6936]

[@conors4430]

That bit about looking for the left-handed guitars, and how just getting one would make cobain write songs. That hits deep

[@vi0letcr1me]

I think what would have been good is if Kurt just disappeared out of the spotlight for 10 years and focused on raising a family, then come back with an Unplugged type album. He could have made so much more great music.

[@GR1NDMOD22]

[@davide.b8027]

Love ya, Kurt. 🖤

[@JoeGamer81]

The truest window in what it’s like to grieve is when Krist says that he would notice left-handed guitars at shops for years after Kurt died. It’s such an ingrained behavior that he couldn’t stop even though it only reminded him of his friend’s death. You never get over losing a loved one. It gets easier to live with over time, but that’s all. It’s never gone. It’s always there.

[@stephenkpbyrne]

[@hydro3672]

Reminds me of my best friends death after I saved him from sex trafficking he got back and was drugged up on some untraceable substance he wasn’t the same after ,he kept talking about how nobody would ever trust him again and things were all over for him I never got the message because I didn’t see him as the type but I guess you never do because the next day he pulled out his shitty little revolver and erased himself as well as my social battery it was so hard to talk to others after I had no friends in high school because I was still getting over his death to this day I think about it all the time

[@praqueisso4892]

Just listen to nirvana and you will know for sure kurt was depressed and suicidal, if you look at some lyrics you’ll see that he was a mentally ill person that needed help, especially in in utero.

No he's not. I hate when people say stupid stuff like this. His music may live on forever but the person decided to take his life when he still had a good 60 years to go. Kurt died in a garden shed in 1994, depriving himself of another 60 years of life, living, experiences, music, artistry, joy and sorrow, the human experience. It was stupid and selfish.

I don't think he was murdered, but then I remember there is hundreds of millions of dollars worth of royalties on the line. These aren't pennyroyalties. However, at the time Cobain likely didn't know that part about the hundreds of millions. He was probably thinking maybe 25 million dollars was there, and I'm sure he did want his daughter taken care of. He should've just waited it out and took a break, extreme suicidal feelings will pass. Unless Love knew a divorce, disbandment, and writing out of the will was imminent. It didn't seem like Cobain had the energy for that kind of thing to bother with a divorce right then.

When kurt was in rome courtney tried to kill him there but only took it so far because she would have had to pay for kurt body to be shipped back to the USA he knew she did that that's why he changed she chased him back to the USA and got to him, she wanted in nirvana but that was his band he knew she was out to get him.
