Danny Golddigger

After hearing the phone conversations between Tom grant and your ex wife rosemary carrol, I really doubt she call you and said" Kurt killed himself"

Bravo Mike! I just finished watching this and as usual, your professionalism and all around "cool-headed" candor, (along with some excellent questions) made for yet another great Karolyi interview. Like I've mentioned to you before, your interviews on CCC were always a highlight for me and the station. I took and learned some cues from you. Your patience and over all sincere interest in the artist or bands was always a bit of a model for me in my career. Cheers brother.

This is a great interview, thanks Danny

Is anyone bothered with Danny Goldberg’s talk of suicide not been preventable? I don’t think that’s a productive message and deeply dislike that society should just shrug off people killing themselves because it’s a “mystery“.

Very complicated situation for Rosemary Carroll. At least she had to see the real face of her husband

Always great to see interviews like these. I've briefly rifled through Serving The Servants and it seems like a genuinely interesting read. I've read about every book I could find on Nirvana/Kurt and it's refreshing to see something from a different perspective. Nice interview.

Good interview.

Well done, Mike. How time flies.

Hello Mike Karolyi! You are one of the very few REAL rock media legends left these days! :) I appreciate your longevity in the game, you're one of the all-time greats in rock media! #Salute :) But I gotta be honest, too honest for KZfaq but anyways... Im insanely jealous of the fact that you were graced with the opportunity to wonderfully chronicle the story and evolution of "rock n roll" during the most interesting time in music history, but I didnt get that chance. :/ lol This is one of those rare "capivating indepth interview" videos that only come around one in a Blue Moon, excellent work! You asked great questions and Mr. Goldberg gave insightful answers. This video should have waaaaaaay more than 135 views... I guess Rock N Roll really is dead. :(

Compassionately asking him about the suspicions surrounding Kurts death could have been the ultimate interviewer question

The way he says angst gives me angst

The other thing was the whole Kurt Cobain - Billy Corgan - Courtney Love - Love Triangle. The first thing an artist wants to do in this situation of his marriage breakdown is to write about it. He even was planning further collaborations with Micahel Stipe. Overdosing on Rhepanol like people do - Hmm.. This if anything he would OD on Heroin - so many inconsistencies Danny - " I love you Kurt" but can we rewrite your will so i can get more money Goldberg " he was dead a week later " (shrug)

Kurt always had the values of straight edge hardcore bands but he just couldn't beat the drugs something a lot of us understand took me 20 years to beat them there is no way I could of did it in my 20s especially if I was a huge rock star sadly I think I would end up were he is he is relatable because so many Gen x have the same struggles how many 40s old people do you see in your city whatever town on drugs and homeless I'm beating it's the majority Gen x was truly the lost generation R.I.P 💔 KURT COBAIN

I mean, Cobain definetely needed some holidays and they were making him play live and play live and play live... over and over and over and over

AMAZING

Kurt penned a handwritten letter to alt-rocker, Juliana Hatfield, dubbed the 'Alt Pop Princess' who's actually a prolific songwriter, feminist, and survivor of depression and suicidal thoughts (read her book). Kurt praised her song, "Nirvana", as well as Danny Goldberg, for being one of the few trustworthy people in the music business in that letter to her. Juliana recently claimed Danny's departure from Atlantic records led to her own departure from the label. Danny reduces himself to being a long-haired guy trusted with Led Zeppelin, so maybe he continued being the down-to-earth, long-haired guy in a corporate setting, when trusted with Nirvana? Selling a book about Kurt on the 25th anniversary of his suicide is gross marketing, but it's the way things are done.

Was Kurt able to play bass upside down ?, that's how it is in the photo because he was a lefty

Why did rosemary carrol and Danny divorce? And when? She was sure Courtney had something to do with his suicide note because of the hand weighting practice sheet cL carried with her. Carrol burned the divorce papers @ Courtney’s request!

Every time I hear a commercial with the Ramones music it informs me Joey's brother, Mickey Leigh and the wife of Johnny Ramone, Linda are able to agree and work together regarding the catalog of the Ramones music. There was a time they were at each other's throats to the potential detriment of the Ramones legacy.

Yeah I am passing on listening to this... no respect for anyone who can dismiss EVIDENCE and what his own wife believes when it comes to someone who was meant to be his friend.. you are no friend Danny....

Milk It....

What he is not mentioning is that even before Nevermind was released Nirvana had a huge buzz and was getting very popular in the larger club scene. They were getting up to $10,000 per show. There was a huge bidding war between labels to sign Nirvana. They knew times were changing and when bands can consistently sell out shows they are a good bet.

Mensch!

Danny Goldberg great guy unbiased opinions!

Great interview but the end was bogus. Sad to see.

A question to those old enough in the early 90's to witness the height of Nirvana's fame; Did Kurt (while still alive) have the same impact and reach Eminimem had on popular culture and on the wider mainstream audiences a few years later? I somewhat doubt it but please feel free to prove me wrong

The infamous intervention still to this day sounds like the worst idea ever...

This is the man that wants to be remembered as a good man and manager of Nirvana, and forced them touring and touring without any rest... Ha!

if he was on heroin and they feared him dying sorta wonder if his friends shoulda turned him in to the cops

Where's my fish

“Everyone surrounding Nirvana Inc., except for the actual band members themselves, are complete pieces of shit.” - Steve Albini

Milk it

LIAR!!!

Die Sahne aus der Asche nehmen! We say in german

Yeah Danny cared a lot as long as his company was being fed millions and millions of dollars, he could care less about Kurts health otherwise

Self Serving the Manager’s Narrative

Just another "friend" who's making money off of Kurt's fame/death. These people should be ashamed of themselves, but they're a dime a dozen. I'd like to know who Kurt's REAL friends where, you never hear of them, I think Krist really cared for him but no one really else that I can think of...very sad.

More $$ in Danny's pocket for being a cover up!

Self anointed expert.

Slime ball.

This is one of the guys that robbed those young artists blind. Smh

Yea, he was depressed because he knew he was stuck with Courtney ‘until death do us part.’

This guy should have been managing Larry David not kurt cobain

Love Nirvana love the Foo Fighters but I never thought that Krist and Dave were a great match for Kurt’s band. Krist and Dave are not punk rock to me or have that edge for or to be punk rock but Kurt did. It was something about Kurt that people were attracted to. That raw real ness about him. He wasn’t fake. Dave never had the impact that Kurt did. Kurt Cobain was influential and something was special about him. I also think that Dave was a little envious of Kurt and the way people responded to him.

Just remember guys. Danny Goldberg does not speak for Kurt Cobain. He did not know him that well. A lot of self righteousness here that Kurt would’ve spit at.

He said that Kurt was keen that In Utero had Hits... what ? There are no 'hits' on there !
