Slash & Kirk Hammet & Tom Petty Talks about Kurt Cobain

[@ivjdivfjalekvvjp]

R.E.M. was waiting for him to come to LA to start making an acoustic album with them. He had the ticket.

but instead of going there he turned back home, to seattle... there were two flight tickets. one to LA, REM. one to Seattle when he ran away from rehab.

I'm a 100% pure rap hiphop fan. But NO ONE can deny the impact Kurt Cobain left on music, not even his genera alone, even rappers on multiple songs shout out and reference Cobain. RIP Kurt, your a legend and one of the few dudes in the music industry who kept it 100% real. On another note, as if I didn't respect Metallica enough they go on MTV and throw in that little Kurt Cobain tribute

[@Godloveszaza]

It's really 3 rock groups that rap loves and respect heavy. Guns n roses nirvana and metallica. Hella rappers such as three 6 mafia sampled and got inspired by metallica, guns n roses shared their love for rap when it was hated most and hung out and made songs with nwa, and kurt as you said it all pretty much.

I'm glad that Slash appreciated Kurt even if Axl wasn't very kind with him

[@NegoClau]

That just proves who is the real deal and who is the phony in Guns'n'Roses...

[@juanpabloporraslara5318]

Actually i became a fan of Duff from Guns n'Roses because he seems the coolest guy of Guns n'Roses, and a few days before Kurt Cobain passed away he just escaped from the rehab Center and Duff was also in the same rehab Center place and the funny thing it's that they see each other in the same airplane and Both of them were in. Rehab Center to detox from opiods. Duff mentioned that they didnt talk about heroin in the whole flight. And Duff invited a Kurt Cobain over his house to chill out. But that never happened cause Kurt Cobain dissapear from Duff's sight. I'm Duff said that was the last time he Saw Kurt Cobain. I'm sure that Kurt dissapear from Duff because he was craving heroin and was having the heaviest withdrawals.

I know. It's funny hearing them complain about the 80s glam bands. It was still rock regardless of what they looked like on stage, What do they think about music today? Rock isn't even popular anymore. Young people are listening to rap instead.

[@Goldpilar]

stuart luther Pop, EDM and eccentric Indie music like Lorde, Mikky Ecko and others like that. I think that's what teens mostly like these days. Rap surprisingly died out really fast and very sudden. It started dying out around the second half of 2011(it was still huge during the first half of that year) and by 2012 it already started to feel like a thing of the past.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Here's a list of some the songs that paved the way for an album like "Nevermind" to get big. Guns N Roses "Welcome to the jungle" Which talks about the extreme poverty and cocaine addiction the band were going through, according to Slash' book, the band in the wintertime actually demolished a wooden fense of the appartment they were living in at the time in order to warm up the place by burning the material indoors because of them not being able to pay the heating bill. Metallica "One" Now Metallica were seasoned veterans, and already had several world tours on their portfolio by the time that "And justice for all" was released. But it was a stroke of luck that made this very unlikely song and it's eerie video the thing that propelled them into the mainstream. It certainly wasn't the usual "Unskinny bop" multicolor video that the MTV audience at the time was used to seeing. Red Hot Chili Peppers "Knock me down" Like Metallica the Peppers had been around for several years greeted usually with indifference, nobody expected their blend of rap, Funk and rock to work. This was the first song of theirs to be put on decent rotation on MTV and the first song that had people recognising them on the street. In Anthony Kiedis' book "Scar tissue" he recalled that he and guitarist John Frusciante were getting into a cab and the driver went "Hey you're those guys from that song 'Kick my ass' I love that song!" And that song is really dark talking about founding member Hillel Slovak's heroin-related death. Pixies "Debaser" If there's one band who already had the template on what Grunge should sound like, it would be The Pixies, the whole Loud-quiet thing and screamed vocals was already there. Jane's addiction "Stop" Now if bands like the Pixies were instrumental for Nirvana and other punk based bands to get big, it was Jane's addiction who made it possible for bands like Smashing Pumpkins to add Pink Floyd like long passages and solos in their work. This video also shows a scene from which bands like Pearl Jam came from: the Surf community. The Cure "Lullaby" Again, the Cure had been around for a long time before they finally cracked the USA. God knows how many goth band that's around right now took a page from their book when this frankly creepy nightmarish video appeared on MTV. Robert Smith said that he didn't think that The Cure was an influential band until Dinosaur Junior covered "Just like heaven" and in doing so introduced The Cure to an American audience. Pantera "Cowboys from hell" Now if the general consensus of the changing musical tide was going from "Let's party" to "Party's over" can be contained into one song, it could well be THIS one, combining the fury of a massive bar fight, the "FUCK YOU!" attitude of punk and the ferocity of a Gatling Gun. Metal was here to stay and it was more brutal than ever.

I never met Kurt, but if someone interviewed me about him, I'd think that I would have to worry about saying the same thing twice about him. But that's just Metallica for you, fake.

[@greatriffishere]

It's actually a fact that Kurt Cobain liked Metallica and was in the snakepit at the seattle concert in 1992.His favorite song from Metallica was whiplash.Kurt Cobain hated Axl Rose.

[@soundguardian644]

Thanks God for that

[@mussman717word]

@supernicewitit It wasn't even about the lyrics, but the songwriting itself, the chord progressions, the dynamic volume shifts, and those blistering vocals, shining with soul.

[@warguy403]

Notice how in an interview in 1994 Lars said he thought nirvana was kinda ok but since nirvana became a rock n roll legend he jumped on the bandwagon :/

[@6Mega6Man6]

It might have been the difference between hearing just the single and hearing the whole record

[@warguy403]

Father Thunder but do you really think he came to the conclusion that Kurt was a genius on his own? seems to me like he's just kind of repeating what everyone else says

[@6Mega6Man6]

warguy403 I think maybe hearing people's words about it might have encouraged him to give Nirvana's albums a full listen through, and then he decided his opinion based on that. I'm just playing devil's advocate here.

[@silentnoah]

Yeah, I didn't really give Micheal Jackson's music a real listen until after we was dead, I assume it's the same for Lars. Kurt was also a huge Metallica fan.

[@Andrew-uh6yf]

RIP Kurt. We miss you

Anyway to get back on Kurt Cobain and his influence on killing off hair metal bands and early boybands like the New Kids on the block, people are still saying that when "Nevermind" came out that everything changed but I'll say that even before it got out, the music scene already was changing from "Let's party" to "Party's over" And it started as early as 1987 that Alternative rock and real metal (Not the LA sunset strip hair bands like Motley Crue, Cynderella, Bon Jovi and Poison) began to bubble up into the main stream if you take a look at the high selling albums that came out from 1987 until 1991 you'll see my point here. Because among them were: Guns N Roses - "Appetite for destruction" Metallica - "And justice for all" and "Metallica" (AKA "The Black album") Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Mother's milk" and "BloodSugarSexMagic" Jane's addiction - "Nothing shocking" and "Ritual de lo Habitual" The Cure - "Desintegration" The Beastie Boys - "Check your head" The Pixies - "Doolittle" Alice in chains - "Face lift" Soundgarden - "Badmotorfinger" Pantera - "Cowboys from hell" Sonic Youth - "Goo" and "Daydream nation" All of those albums already had the hallmarks of what made "Nevermind" such a huge succes. So despite what seemingly everybody says that Grunge happened seemingly overnight, they actually had four years of clues about the musical climate already changing but simply ignored them. I'd say the pivotal moment of when "Let's party" turned into "Party's over" was when Guns N Roses' "Appetite for destruction" was released. Because when it was released it fit the need of people who wanted something real: not the overblown "I screwed so many chicks" Hairmetal that was being pushed down their throats. Guns 'N roses in those days were a band in the vein of the Rolling Stones, not very gifted musicians with swagger and 'tude. "Appetite" was about drug and alcohol addictions, living in poverty, the ruthlessness of living in Los Angeles and the wrong kind of women. Even their big hit "Sweet child o' mine" had a very dark forbading tone "Where do we go now?" "Appetite for destruction" became a million seller almost from the get-go and in doing so paved the way for the other bands I mentioned to hit the big time. "And justice for all" would have been just another Metallica album if the single "One" hadn't been picked up by MTV and had people going "Whoa, this is different, I like it." which was the same reaction they had when "Welcome to the jungle" came out a year earlier. So while "Nevermind" wasn't the album that swiped all the overblown boybands and hairmetal acts away, it certainly was the last nail in the coffin.

[@sophiasanders8321]

this is amazing! I thank you for this! you put in so much effort in this comment ugh! bless your soul

[@saschahoupt6177]

Thank you for this analysis!! Very interesting to hear what someone who was around back then has to say about that period in music history!

[@jeepmanxj]

Gnr was hair metal though.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

@@jeepmanxj No they were not, they never donned the brightly colored spandex nor did they do the Eddie Van Halen rip off guitar solos and songs about how big their dicks were.

[@jeepmanxj]

@@RastaSaiyaman you have your opinions while I hang here in the real world.

[@CrashN2Me1000]

Tom Petty is the man. Love the great things he said about Kurt.

[@Phike9391]

of course Billy Corgan has to throw his opinion in there

[@smithfan22]

Phike he made great music

[@johnmordecai2337]

Well I mean, MTV sort of interviewed him for it. They were peers.

[@murder_jacket]

He looks like a human tick.

[@Hybzy]

Billy Corgan can be a douche at times but he is very talented and has a valid opinion of most things 90s rock

[@Felis-Concolor]

@@Hybzy hes a hater. Every interview he trashes kurt because kurt stole Courtney from him in 91 lol. Its so obvious of how jealous he was of nirvana's success that overshadowed his band

[@adofonconi9753]

I used to listen to punk music cassettes by that time, like Descendents, 7 Seconds, Dead Kennedys, I didn't dig MTV videoclips...I remember all my friends telling me nirvana were great, but I didn't know'em, but I was so pissed off and surprised that my new all time fav song was ignored by the rest of the world. It was called "smells like nirvana" and was by weird al yankovich. I just recorded on a VHS cassette one of the few times I watched MTV, and kept listening to it...till I knew it was a Nirvana song parody!

[@evolvedmindz27]

Metallica, Nirvana,..........Nirvana

[@joegarza7220]

Ummm.. Yeah... No. Nirvana was a very great, very fine band. Metallica is a legendary band. Nirvana influenced rock up until the turn of the century, Metallica is still influencing.

[@johnarundell7951]

Joe garza Yeah.. ummm… no. Metallica, great group they they were, have been alienating their core audience and losing friends for a couple of decades, coincidentally since about the early nineties. They essentially just tour the world cashing in on former glories now like a heavier Rolling Stones who haven't done anything good in roughly 35 years but the money 'rolls right in'. To say Nirvana are not "still influencing" is incredibly naive in the extreme mate :/ no statute of limitations on great music/writing.

[@DubStocks]

Two different genres... Two different bands. Both are amazingly successful and talented. Leave it at that.

[@DanManThePurple]

Slash, Kirk Hammet, and Lenny Kravitz were definitely not the only significant guys in the video.

[@iammrsnesbith]

@Ivan Del Rio Dude im just reading your comments and as far as Kurt goes, yea i loved the man as a musician and i feel he gave us some of the worlds best song writing but you seem to be way to infatuated with Cobain more than a fan though which is whatever you wouldnt be the first. But than you start bashing people who are praising your hero and these are actually great artists lol. Lars is one of the best drummers ever, Kirk is amazing and has made some of the best riffs and solos in rock, and the reason i think people have such a big fascination with him is the same reason why alot of people who have past in the music industry get these kinds of fans, and its because they past in there prime, and you always wonder what if they were still alive and because of there short visit in the industry left him little room for mistakes and bad albums, coupled with his musical revolution makes him iconic. But what if someone from Metallica past and they only came out wit killem all and ride the lightning, Eminem only releasing Infinite n SSLP, or Guns N Roses coming out with only Appetite for destruction ( Big GnR fan and Axl Rose fan by the way which will probably piss you off also) than these guys and bands would be also so much more iconic than they already are. And if your argument is "he changed music" but so did Eminem being the first white rapper, Metallica being 1 of the big 4 to put Thrash metal on the map, and Guns N Roses being accepted in the realm of rock on the sunset strip without compromising there sound, selling out, being real, which earned them the title the most dangerous band in the world, All im saying is I understand your affection for him but dont let that blind you to being open minded to other music and trying not to judge or be condescending because the pressure is alot, bands grow and change as well as there music and some say than there sellouts. We dont know but Kurt if he were still here might of made a move that granted some fans to not like his turn. Dont be so harsh on judgment. And to clarify i am an immense Kurt Cobain fan and do wish he could still give us music.

[@ianmason2003]

Lars best drummers ever... Whoa, slow down there...

[@iammrsnesbith]

ianmason2003 not the greatest agreed but you cant tell me he doesnt sit in your top 10

[@ianmason2003]

He absolutely does not sit in my top 10. Way better drummers out there... Even just staying in rock. I think he's also regressed with the Black album and beyond.

[@iammrsnesbith]

ianmason2003 lets agree to disagree

[@allisondonelan9348]

Miracle Branko or lets agree you dont no great drummers jeff picaro john bonham clyde stubblefield carter bueford joey kramer and chad smith those are great drummers lars is not even in the top 100

In the beggining, i saw tom keifer of cinderella... is there about him??? Pls anybody answer!!

[@esdortcho8314]

shib gends lyrically sure.......musically, definitely not. If you can get past the over-processed, corporately bound bands. The guitar playing is amazing. 90s rock was able to thrive because the excess over-the-top 80s culture was vecame over done and plastic. Think about this cycle. 50s rock-beginnings, 60s rock-more expansive, 70s rock-even more expansive, 80s rock-take it up another notch, 90s rock- regressive to the basics. The cycle continues....

[@esdortcho8314]

Yeah, i agree with you.

[@zeroone7867]

Who the fuck is the guy wearing the orange tee 3:56 He looks and sounds like he's about to overdose. Just realised it's John Frusciante...Jesus Christ.

[@ChaosDave2]

In context, it was an excerpt of a thrash documentary about how influential thrash metal was/is, so it makes perfect sense for him to talk about it. It wasn't a Nirvana documentary, so there was no reason for him to talk about how great he was.
