Love how when Dave mentions slayer one random guy in the audience just gives a loud ass “FUCKIN SLAYERRRRRRRR”

[@catmobile20]

Nirvana was definitely the best thing that ever happened to Dave.

[@Remooverevans]

I disagree. He was great in Nirvana and I love Nirvana they’re one of my favorite bands but what Dave started with foo fighters and the recovery he made to better himself and use music as a source of healing. That’s the best thing to happen to him.

[@jcwareham81]

It was also the best thing that ever happened to Krist, what’s your point?

[@progrockjournal]

Disagree... The best things happened before and after

[@nevanbroderick4227]

@@Remooverevans 100%, he fit Nirvana like a damn glove, and rocked out with the very best of them, but Foo is where he really THRIVED and took flight. None of that would have happened probably without his experiences in Nirvana, both the highs and lows, but it helped make Dave the dude he is today, and we love him for that shit.

[@jadeltrickery]

Krist deserves so much more man. He deserves the world.

I love Wendy’s(Kurt’s mom) time the most. So much love in so little words❤❤❤

Shes a phony liar lmao. She kicked Kurt out of her house when he was a teenager.

[@AKartcorner]

Thank you Nirvana ❤

[@michaeldonovan3959]

The Nirvana induction is a gamechanger and brings back so many memories. Great to see a family on stage for the event. My great fortune to see Nirvana (before Dave) as a quartet in Al's Bar downtown LA for the Bleach tour, and several times after, with Dave!

[@himanshuj.]

I have to say the speeches were really inspiring! Just conveys so well how good these people must be as human beings.

[@Goatchild90]

My favourite musical act of all time

[@juanmanuelbustamanteveland6729]

Thanks from the bottom of my heart for the music that helped me through tough times above the good times. !!! I have nothing to say other than rock on!!! 🤘 thank you Kurt Cobain , you made us really happy !! May your soul is in peace! 🕊️

[@R-mr8ge]

Hey, Dale Crover's my absolute drumming hero too!

[@blp100]

Dave telling his life story should be the title

[@ermertieplug]

Yeah he hoged the whole acceptance speech time

[@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaid]

​@@ermertieplug There's no time limit on the speeches. Other people have given way longer speeches (if I'm not mistaken, when Pearl Jam were inducted Eddie Vedder spoke for 12 minutes straight- and that band has more members than Nirvana so it took even longer). Dave talking for a bit longer took nothing away from anyone else.

[@ermertieplug]

@@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaid yes it does. Nobody else had a chance to talk.

[@Daryl_Phillips_]

Krist was always my favorite

@lesleywhibley Sorry I was wrong I have false information. Next time I will study the information more carefully

[@DaveGrohlsprincess]

I’m confused as well….Didn’t Frances say She hopes Him and his mom are holding hands somewhere on her post…

[@KederixKX9]

Very Big Top Brossss

[@batero1]

Did they forgot Pat Smear?

[@Sonic-gy7kq]

Krist and Dave should have been the only ones on the stage. When Black Sabbath got inducted fckin sharon osbourne wasn’t on stage 🤦‍♂️

[@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaid]

Yeah, because Ozzy is still alive... it's very normal for a spouse to receive an award on behalf of the artist if the artist is dead.

[@Skateandcreate9]

@@lesleywhibley there were rumors about her passing for some time now but Frances just confirmed it in her last ig post

[@ermertieplug]

There would be no Nirvana without Kurt. He was Nirvana. You could get anyone to play drums or play base but nothing can replace Kurts voice, emotions and song writing. These people are just associated with the band.

[@tsg_frank5829]

You have to be completely daft to not recognize the contributions Dave and Kris have given to the band, Kurt alone would not have ended up with the biggest band in the world, all three of them had the exact dynamic that allowed all of those songs to hit as hard as the did.

[@ermertieplug]

@@tsg_frank5829 Kurt Cobain was one of a kind. He had so many copycats after they hit the radio. His voice and lyrics were unique. I can't say the same about the other ones.

[@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaid]

The other ones didn't have as many copycats because they weren't the singers and therefore didn't get as much attention, that's all. Are we seriously measuring talent by how much attention people get now? For almost every band in existence the singer gets more attention than the players. That does not mean they're the only important member. Also, you must be completely out of touch with reality if you haven't noticed how many people try and copy Grohl's drumming nowadays, so saying only Kurt was being admired is ridiculous.

[@ermertieplug]

@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaid Dave Grohl is the lead singer of The Foo Fighters but nobody is trying to copy him because he sounds like everyone else. The lead singer does make the band. I'm not saying that the others weren't good musicians, it's just that the lead singer gives the bands overall sound. Queen, Inxs, Foreigner, Blind Melon, etc. With some exceptions, bands aren't the same without the lead singer. You can't deny that.

[@kekoa028]

@@ermertieplug”bands aren’t the same without the lead singer” you can say that for literally every other instrument though. Look how much better nirvana got when dave joined, the beatles would’t be the beatles without ringo, the who would’t be the who without keith moon or john entwhistle, people only really care about rhcp’s music when john fruciante is in the band , etc , etc

[@Musiover00]

NWA won the Rock & Roll HOF before Nirvana did… ain’t that something 😅

[@emmanuelbb2731]

Nirvana got in their very first year of eligibility…so what’s your point?
