He definitely always makes sure to bring him up right away.

So evident that he's hurt still. Great friend!

true

I've noticed he repeats that line "he shouldn't have done that" a lot :(

It’s so heartbreaking

if only dave was sitting with krist then leave the single seat open for kurt.

+agizzy23 yes but kurt rather not be there ... remember ?

+raboesperto He would have grown up by then

+Papa Henry he was there in teen Spirit.

Robin Dreier 49 is teen ?

Agreed. They were best friends for a long time.

***** watch old Nirvana interviews and you'll see.

***** I grew up with Nirvana, I was there when the boom came. I remember then and now. Krist took the loss VERY hard and there's a guilt involved.

miles2057 Krist still dreams about Kurt as he stated, he is really hurt by it.. you can see it in his eyes when he is talking about it, he isn't the same.. it's so sad

I agree, but I'd say their career changes probably have a lot to do with it too. Kurt and Krist were tight, and Dave almost definitely felt like an outsider at certain points early on--then he became a frontman for his own successful band, which is likely what caused him to seemingly come out of his shell and become more outgoing. And don't forget that Krist went into politics after Nirvana happened--that most definitely changed him too. He had to maintain a degree of professionalism; no longer could he be making goofy, off-the-cuff anecdotes and flashing his dick to thousands of people (lol), which likely forced him to seemingly mellow out. But I love both versions of both of them, of course! XD

and beautiful

Thanks to that B Courtney

Yup, he got old fast after that.

For sure. There are parts of him that have never been the same since, and this is one of the interviews that truly proves that.

José Aquino well Kurt died wen he was 27 and Krist is a yr older than Kurt. Krist would've been around 28 29 nearly in his 30s at that time. Dave was the youngest he was only 18 wen he joined nirvana and prolly would've been around 20, 21 at the time Kurt died. Krist didn't got old fast, he was actually getting old and would've been hard for him to star over again or establish him self with a new band at that age and time.

+John Fabian Dave was 25 when Kurt died.

What do you expect? They went to school together, went from nothing to something together. That’s kind of the massive difference between him and Dave

+Logan Edwards Krist had a few pops once in a while with Nirvana, and was feeling good and talkative.

he also lost that light in his eye when he lost kurt

Krist not laughing at Jimmy Fallons jokes, proves he's not funny at all.

I thought they let Kurt say everything, he was their de facto leader

Beinrich Bimmler Kurt was definitely the leader but Krist was definitely the chopsy one lol

Can't remember what video but in one interview Krist said he's my best friend

Awesome moment!

krist is still devastated

You probably never get over your best friend i mean they knew each other since high school

Lina Yeah if my best friend died I wouldn’t even want to keep living

Nathan Cash haha he looked so pissed xD

Actually Krist agreed and said he's glad Paul didn't play bass when they jammed because he's so amazing. Then he said he learned how to play bass by listening to Paul. Did you even listen to the video?

Novoselic wasn't that great at bass, but every band needs one. And I'm sure he wouldn't argue about Paul McCartney, simply on principle.

The Contingency Plan You didn't get it. It's supposed to be a funny comment, you know... Humor, jokes... Like thinks like that

That was the joke...

Naw, I think Krist would agree. Sir Paul is considered a legend for damn good reason.

Ha. Gay

StevieHyperD2 Ha. Fuck you.

+StevieHyperD2 fuck you

+shnoopy doopy I'd Just Say Thank You Salute Them And Be Humble About It

+shnoopy doopy I would actually thank them first, hug them AND THEN cry :) Nirvana 4 ever

+Cage Your Heart Do they not tell the best storys?

+Cage Your Heart I want to hear Krist tell more stories because he knew Kurt all the way back in high school.

+Kenny B krist has best friend of kurt sooo

Cage Your Heart I want to hear more of both Dave and Krist telling stories

Hi,I just wanted to let you know that I gave you your 666 like. So there, have a nice day buddy!

3:35😭😭😭

Puts a lump in my throat watching him

Shut the fuck up and enjoy this interview. It's interesting and a nice tribute to Kurt. Stop trying to fuck up everything for the purpose of fucking it up.

The interviews Nirvana did in 2014 probably had to do with being inducted in the RRHOF

He did tons of them and he loved to speak out on them, you don't know what you're saying at all

Exactly what I'm talkin about......these stupid people know shit...none of them do their home work. Kurt hated interviews later in his career because no matter how he answered their questions he was always portrayed as an addict rather than an artist.

He may have eventually changed his mind. Especially if the interview was over something this monumental, and he was being treated with respect - like a human, rather than a science experiment.

Thank you for sharing this. An enjoyable read.

Loved hearing this. I grew up during the same time. And Nirvana is the ONLY one's I didn't get to see. Seen anyone else you can think of.. But Nirvana. What a badass memory to have!!

@@oumealso-mb3sv same! I lived nirvana, and as fate would have it, they're the only band I never got to see. I even traveled up to Spokane a couple times for concerts. Still to this day they're my fave band.

@Yellow Labrador...I was in my 20s during that time and I got to see them too. What a great time to be alive!

oh wow thank u

Dude I thought the same .. Him and Dave

My friends brother met Dave at a coffe shop that my friends brother works at. He literally walked in and he didn't realize it was Dave until he said what his name was (to write on the cup) and then he saw some people coming up to him and asking for pictures

Haha I love that story, that's funny they actually had to ask his name to put on the cup!!

I met Krist at a small club in Portland OR called Berbati's Pan. He's really fucking tall.

He's a really down to earth guy. I met him a few times at a small shop I used to work at in Seattle. Ironically, the first time, I didn't instantly make the connection and for a moment, I actually thought about asking him if anyone ever told him he looked like Krist Novoselic. Only after he left did it dawn on me that maybe it was really him and I realized it was him for sure when I saw he had even left his name in our customer database previously to qualify for reward points.

+Karissa M great comment :) i agree

+Karissa M I could agree more. Eventhough time pass. I still mis nirvana. I miss them . But thank god for people that learn about nirvana

+Karissa M Amen!

+Karissa M one and only nirvana

Laura Harris Yeah maybe so, but Nirvana was really special

Donna Kelly totally agree....he is so worried there will be 1 second of silence, he won’t shut up. Corporate douche all the way.

Exactly what i was thinking...

@Qwerty 370 😂

Yes! Fuckin Fallon! No one wants to hear your bullshit!

hate how he keeps interrupting like a knowitall buddha or sth.

I love them

Krist

Randhir Ramsingh Thankyou!

nice litten m8

Joker's Apprentice i thinking the same exact thing man

thats just the lighting

NewDawnFadez - vespertine !

I actually believe that!

Pat Smear is a tool. And he was only in the band officially for like the last 3 months.

drseafrog You're joking right? He toured with Nirvana quite a bit, and apparently he was meant to become an official member 20 years ago until Kurt died.

drseafrog Have you not ever heard of THE GERMS? Pat is a fucking legend and Nirvana were fucking stoked to even meet him let alone have him in the band.

drgdegd gedgeg and an amazing guitar player. He was known for being able to do Van Halen double tapping and all that stuff but kept it really simple for the Germs. A true hidden virtuoso

Dislike...pat was a legend punk rocker before nirvana, and foo fighters....look up darby crash, germs...ironically darby from the germs had heroine (i know its herion, but heroine, give it a life of its own, and she will kill you)issues of his own. I would love to know what pat thought going throuh the death of darby, to play with nirvana and have that inside thoughts and being able to see things that people on the outside did not...would LOVE to be able to hear or read about that, and it not be sugar coated or anything.

+nino210 Dude I know. It suck because nobody gets how awesome he is. Hell most people don't even know his fucking name.

Right! I just love hearing these old Nirvana stories

Halsey Carlin Don't call them "old"! I remember those times as if they were yesterday! (sob sob)

Absolutely

I miss kurt

in their pockets or something? Or like in a trap like in ghostbusters?

Jimmy, this is the video i mentioned for the show. Watch it here--> BABY IN TRUNK PRANK

***** fuck off, this is my time to shine

300daysandnights BOOOOO! You're corny!

Jessica Rodriguez "Boo" won't work on me, I know you're not a real ghost.

He was conflicted about fame. On the one hand, he wanted to be famous, but on the other hand, it caused a bit of an identity crisis in him in that he identified himself with his punk ethos and felt that he was defying his own punk ethos through embracing fame. He wanted to be famous, but he didn't want to want to be famous. He wanted to become famous in order to help promote that anarcho-punk ethos, but in becoming famous, he was defying the same punk ethos he wished to promote--thus, the conflicted feelings he had. As far as I'm concerned, the problem ultimately lies with the crypto-authoritarian nature of said punk ethos. A truly libertarian ethos should not be concerned with whether one becomes or wishes to become famous, but rather should merely be concerned with what one does with said fame. Because Cobain let his conflicted feelings about fame consume him and distract him from the things he truly enjoyed, like music, he found himself less able to enjoy music, art, and the general act of creating, which, to a large extent, was his downfall. As to how Cobain would feel about knowing he's being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I think he would appreciate the recognition he and his friends are receiving, but that he would care a bit more about the kid who, after searching through his parents' old record collections, is just discovering Nirvana for the first time, discovering the great music, and thinking, "Wow, this is great stuff. I should try to form a garage band of my own!" To be recognised is great, but to inspire is sublime.

allixpeeke Young American kids that grew up in the suburbs don't kill themselves because of punk ideals mate. He was a severely depressed individual. He suffered from manic depression i believe. That is more likely the explanation.

dios bananos When you read things about his character he seemed a bit bi-polar as well, shame.

Joseph Durnin Bipolar disorder used to be called manic depression. You are both talking about the same thing.

***** He was never diagnosed. Psychologists speculated that he was postmortem. It's a shame he wasn't diagnosed when he was alive. The only thing worse than a mental health issue is an undiagnosed mental health issue.

+SebastianTheGreat Jimmy is just an idiot--- Most of his interviews are conducted that way.

interviewer is another little bitch. man wanting to be a little girl.

I'm pretty sure Jimmy was on SNL when they were

Mackenzie Carder Nah, Jimmy Fallon wasn't on SNL in the 90s

Jimmy is fake as hell!

Ew...

most definitely! Not only is he an artistic geniuses, he's INCREDIBLY kind, generous and humble.

Same

Same

No doubt, he's doing what he loves.

I totally agree

Nick Murphy two or more you can’t get more than two well there is the og drummer

Maybe if he wasn't a junkie heroin addict he would still be alive

Notadoctor666 probably yeah

+Luke same about Brad nowell

Danmann177 same for a lot of people unfortunately.

I might both Kurt and Brad tho i did do alot of tours on teh same circut as Sublime and Brad was a fucking rad dude, he would give you the last 10 bucks he had....He was crazy too, He would pull a 9mm out and would shoot cans and shot in teh basment of this house we use to party at.. He was also very smart.. Great times back than..

Woah.

+zyxwut321 you just fucked my brain, i can't think

+zyxwut321 Two legends

+zyxwut321 A nice thought perhaps, but Neil Young was there. There's a reason the guys from Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and other groups all refer to him as "Uncle Neil". See if you can find an interview of Neil talking about Kurt... sounds like they'd fallen out of touch a bit, Neil was thinking over what to say in a phone call, and then he heard the news. It's hard to say if another voice could have been the difference to Kurt. It's a sad story.

+Josh G kurt didn't take his own life, so not much could have been done. The only thing that could have saved him is if he had decided not to go back to his house once he got back from Rome. he should have stayed far away from his junkie wife.

***** No.

says the one with a fucking member of a crappy boyband as a profile pic^^ Sorry had to! But at least you know some good music ;)

***** Oh fuck off stop shitting on other peoples opinions, it will get you nowhere.

Amy Reeve Stop being butthurt, was just trying to be funny. Jeez

Clearly you weren't???you can't just use that excuse for everything you know.

Same! Though I was only 11 when Kurt passed away, I was absolutely shattered.. Nirvana got me through some really difficult times then and they're a source of comfort even now ❤️

unfortunately it was the opposite for a lot of people. My ex girlfriend that I still cared for committed suicide because of kurt. Lots of his fans were doing it. I went into a deep depression myself, and at 15 it felt like the end of the world.

Listen to the albums. I know that may not be your point but Nirvana made no b-sides. It's nearly solid gold if you listen to their discography. Including Incesticide.

***** I think he's trying to say the radio only plays their most basic songs, like Smells like teen spirit, Heart Shaped Box, Lithium, Come as you are,

Paxn hit the nail on the head!

I wish they had done more together.

It seems where Krist had taken it hard and withdrawn, Dave was shook in a way that had the opposite effect. I know after my first friend's death, I completely changed in a similar manner because I held on to the shock of suddenly losing someone and realized that anyone you cross paths with could be gone in the blink of an eye, so why not give them moments they can look back on fondly.. You never know what's going through someone's mind, a kind smile or friendly chat can go a long way for someone struggling where we can't see. But that's just my take on things honestly, only they know how it effected them and we can only see the changes they show us.

It's heartbreaking

Time heals wounds. They are older and wiser now and able to reflect on the good memories. Its obviously shaped them but they have made their way. They seem like really good people.

@ᄃЯIPPᄂΣЯ WR not true they were friends when Kurt passed away Dave was really sad Dave said he never felt depression before until kurt died Dave also called Kurt saying I don’t want you to die doesn’t sound like just bandmates to me

To their immense credit, Dave and Krist are always very gracious of the fans and very respectful of Kurt's memory, agreed. I think this is because they genuinely cared for and respected Kurt while he was alive, and because they both have a sense of how lucky they are to have had not only the personal success that they've enjoyed, but also to have been a part of something (NIRVANA) that has affected so many people across the world. Rather than allowing the success and adoration to inflate their egos, they seem genuinely humbled by it, and they couldn't come across as a nicer pair of dudes, to boot. So glad I'm a Nirvana fan :)

I kinda wish he had quit music tbh. It wasn’t making him happy but if he had quit and just yah know stayed alive he could tell old stories or at least be happy with bean and his friends (I believe Courtney did sum shit so I’m not gonna mention her in the good part)

@@yvajoy1769 he had horrible ulcers, and apparently heroin was the only thing that helped. I don't think there was any other way this could've ended for him, even if he did quit the industry earlier on.

And Foo Fighters wouldn’t be born

That's not fair. While I do agree that Krist and Kurt were best friends, I have to say that Dave was with Kurt all the time for 3-4 years. They developed a really tight and close bond. So to say that he just lost a bandmate is disrespectful

@@myless.5493 thats true

Kurt and Krist= bestfriends and brothers. But Dave still lost a brother too

this is disrespectful

i agree and dissagree . dave wrote a song about kurt which was friend of a friend, he really cared about kurt. also kurt once wrote him a letter and dave said that if his house was burnt down he will be sad without this letter.

+Alternate Reality It wasn't THAT long ago!

Check out their first album. It sounds pretty similar to Nirvana.

Oh man, Foo Fighter's concerts... Just insane

I'm kinda the same way. I don't dislike the Foo's but not a favorite band but I love Dave. He's a rock star in every sense but he is still really down to earth. A couple of years ago he fell off stage during a show and broke his leg. They took him back stage and stabilized his leg so they could take him to the hospital. Instead, Dave had them carry him back on stage and prop him up in a chair so he could finish the show. That's just the dedication he has to his band and fans.

+Angel of Death Yeah I think most if not all of that album were songs Dave wrote for the next Nirvana album himself as Kurt was elsewhere on heroin and not interested in Nirvana etc, not turing up to rehearsals etc..

Is never too late man...

ahh i know whats on my watch list now ;D

Omgosh! I'm gonna go watch it right now! Thanks for the great idea!!!

+Michael Marhal Just watch some Nirvana stuff, and that way, you'll get a lot of Nirvana stuff!!!!!

How long has rap been as huge as it still is now? I'm just asking cause of your comment about how rap reigned already back when "Nevermind" came out. Back around 1990, rap itself was still relatively new, right? I wouldn't know, I wasn't alive yet, but I'm very curious to hear from the perspective of a person who was a teen then.

Goldpilar Rap is over 30 years old. Rap in the early 90s was its Alternative era, with groups like Tribe Called Quest and the Jungle Brothers being very popular at the time. So, i guest it was the era of Alternative music, Rock or Rap. Anyway, I was surprised, that coming from a predominately black school, some of the kids that I grew up with, which were mostly Hip Hop heads, liked Nirvana. I loved Nirvana, but I was a Pearl Jam fan. LOL.

Cool. Thanks for answering. Yeah, to be honest, I was never much of a hip-hop head either, but growing up in NY, hip-hop has been around me my whole life, so I guess I might as well look into its history a bit. I've seen some documentaries that point to the late '70s as its beginning, but thanks for the info. you gave me. Its good getting a perspective of a person who lived the '80s, '90s era. . I was born in the early '90s, so by the time I was in elementary school, it was already the Eminem, 50 Cent era. Personally though, I'm a really a rock head. I listen to classic rock, heavy metal and Alternative music as well now and then depending on the mood I'm in. The '90s was a very interesting decade because it was the official alternative age. Anything goes artistically and creatively at that time. There was a lot of great experimental music both in rock and hip-hop, as well as in new emerging genres like Techno and so forth. I wish I was older so I could have experienced more of the creative music eras. Growing up in the 21st century is so limiting, except for the fact that we have the internet. Thank God for that or my generation would be completely ignorant.

Goldpilar Life changes, that is just the part of life, and if you didn't have the internet, there are books. And look up Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and you can go even further with Gil Scott Heron aka The Godfather or Rap, spoken word or course a different type of poetry is how rap began. Anyway keep listening to good music and enjoy the 21st century, more changes to come. Take care.

Thanks man, you too! I actually know about Grandmaster Flash already, and I've heard the name, Gil Scott-Heron, but I never looked into him that much. I'll be sure to do that. Yep, the world will definitely continue to change. I hope it changes for better in the near future, cause times have honestly been pretty hard with the economy and everything. Anyway, you take care too, and keep rocking!
