I don't think I've seen jack black so serious. This is awesome!
Most of the time he's sober.
Of course, you cant see anything
Same lol.
He looks really tired!!
@@hatesitrick a lot of actors dread these press junkets cuz its an all day thing and you sit there with a revolving door of interviewers that mostly ask the same questions over and over. He was probably burnt out by this point. Im guessing he appreciated a question that wasnt about Kung Fu Panda tho. Haha
He said “Has it been that long?” For the 20 year anniversary of Nevermind, and now it’s been a decade since this interview.
All kinds of depressing.
Cobain died 27 years ago too. He's been dead for as long as he lived
I’m just gonna sit here and wait for the 20th anniversary interview of this interview.
and now it's been 5 days since your comment
and now it's been 15 seconds since my reply
Dude was a Nirvana fan, then got to be good friends with Dave Grohl, feature him on the drums of multiple albums and cast him as Satan in a feature film. Sick
Thats true, didn't even think of that. 👍
Grohl is not a feature in Tenacious D, bro. He IS the drummer. New album? Call Doctor G.
He may not play live, because of scheduling issues, you know, he has a little band called Food Fighting or something like that, and some other projects, but yeah, he's the drummer.
@@LautaroGalanCid lmao food fighting xd
Jack Black also was a singer in Grohl's project Probot. Check out "I am the Warlock"
Both Black and Grohl were born in 1969.
I can see Jack Black being a Nirvana fan :)
Hell yeah, man.
He wears two of their shirts in the Tenacious D Masterworks 2 Documentary
Along with the rest of the known universe - naturally - 'Natur-El- Mon' !! (Quoting Basil Fawlty there of coarse )
Philip Drake Kickapoo by Tenacious D borrows a riff from Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle by Nirvana, and I think Dave Grohl played drums on the albums too.
The guy with Dave Grohl playing drums on every record is a Nirvana fan? NO SHIT
Jack Black is a fan of Hardcore Punk as well, he's in OFF!'s music video. John Belushi was also into Hardcore Punk, as he got F.E.A.R. onto SNL, and obviously Kurt was a huge fan of Black Flag and shit like that
Only Jack Black has the ability to write a book with just the movement of his eyebrows.

I'm so happy about how jack black talked about nirvana, awesome guy
I know, when I saw this vid pop up I thought, another celebrity who talks about nirvana like they are a fan when they're not, but I forgot that Jack Black is not only a fan of rock and roll, but a broad spectrum of it, and when I heard him say he was a fan since bleach that was when I knew he really did like them.
Same. I thought he wasn't going to care very much.
Yup.
So gay.
Thanks

You think that’s funny, you should look up the guy who play Elmo. Wow, hysterical. The kid part always makes it funnier
His various facial expressions throughout the interview. Whoa.
ratgirlratgirl he’s the king
ratgirlratgirl He should be an actor!
Never seen him so serious than at the beginning of the video before he even springs the question just the look on his face says “what’s this mf about to ask me”
"The crowd was an undulating mass of pleasure"
I love jack black
"has it been that long?"
*watching this video 9 years later*
LITERALLY FUCKING SAME LMFAO
Back when TH-cam wasn't a bitch about censorship. Damn those were the times.
Kung fu panda 2 was 9 years ago? Wtf? NOOOOOO!!!!!
i love how he drops an F bomb during a kung fu panda 2 interview granted it was about a nirvana live show but still hilarious
Goes to show that he's not only a Hollywood legend but a rock legend in that regard and I love it.
Remember this is the guy who sings: "Fuck her gently" & "Kickapoo"
You can tell he’s serious and not bullshitting the way he looks away to get deeper into his thought and how to describe it
Jack Black is awesome in every way possible
Awesome, my ass.

'Ungulating mass of pleasure"
-Jack Black, on Nirvana's crowds
Undulating
During his Kung fu Panda 2 Interview
Read it as he said it
Papa roach-seems lame but the crowd made them awesome
Deftones- fav band but the crowd made me feel like I was at a high school dance
The crowds can make or break the gig
Undulating....
god jack black is so fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice picture
what the fuck
"the night that Bill Graham had died" so it would've been October 25th 1991
That's the exact date that I had a nervous breakdown and dropped out of high school.
They actually played at The Warfield the next day.
@@Nominay How you doing these days?
According to their concert list article on Wikipedia. It was actually October 26 1991.
@@paulgraves1392 speaking of so his ex wife died not too long ago. Rip because she didn't a lot for the scene as well
For anyone curious, Jack saw Nirvana on 10/25/1991. It was a concert at The Palace in Hollywood. About a month after Nevermind came out. Must have been great.
He said he saw them in San Francisco. That would have been at the Warfield on the 26th.
@@dubya2010 I have heard that as well but in a written interview for I believe Rolling Stone, Jack stated it was at The Palace. But who knows lol.
I've got Bleach on vinyl. Love it
Yeah I've got bleach, nevermind, in utero, mtv unplugged and montage of heck on vinyl. They're great
@@PaulyB222 incesticide?
Hatim Yusuf That’s the last one I need lol
@@PaulyB222 this comment is just a blatant flex. nobody cares.
I've got it on 128kbs MP3 that I recorded with a talkboy.
I heard bleach before nevermind. My dad loved nirvana when i was young but my older sister controlled what we listened to and she hated rock and was really only into pop and stuff like that. My dad started driving me to school and the first nirvana album i heard was bleach. Although i'd already heard smells like teen spirit, love buzz was one of the first nirvana songs id heard. Now im 15 and i have heard all nirvana albums and extras and interviews and watched movies on kurts life and have shirts and posters. So i guess im a big fan.
Same
Same !
+Lexy Ladas Have you seen the new kurt cobain stuff on spotify?
+Lexy Ladas Love buzz has such a badass bassline
dude almost same story for me even the age but sub that my little sister controlled it and me and my dad watched a documentary on hbo about it and I was hooked before I even listend to a full song of theirs and now I have even took inspiration from them and became a lead singer in my own grunge band
Goosebumps hearing him talk of Nirvana.
He was in goosebumps.
That's hilarious😂
I like the interview actually but I can see why this interview can give goosebumps.
....this was an amazing time for me growing up, I had Nirvana, the RHCP, Smashing Pumpkins, and the brilliant British bands smashing the world like Radiohead, The Verve,Portishead and The Stone Roses on constant play.
damn, I love those bands. Not a 90's kid but I really enjoyed 90's music.
Those were great although I can't relate very much because I ain't born in the 90's. Mine was mostly emo bands like FOB, Paramore, TBS and etc. And metal (mostly nu metal) like LP, SOAD, Korn and Slipknot etc.
Man idk how anyone could not love jack black he’s such a cool dude.
"Undulating mass of pleasure." That was awesome.
I remember being played Bleach before Nevermind and saying 'Wow, they're as heavy as Slayer'. I bought it very quick and saw them in a small venue Edinburgh, supported by L7.
Soundgarden and Screaming Trees were on repeat in my home and my car, very soon after that. Great days!
I think they got so big because they brought all the metallers, thrashers, indie fans, punks, various alt. types, pop fans, normies, Rolling Stone readers and hippies, etc. together. There was no denying they and Kurt's brilliance. Read Mark Lanegan's autobiography. He saw the potential and knew that their time would probably come, very soon after meeting them and hearing them play.
Now their are a lot of geeks anoraks and snobs who like to say, in retrospect 'horrible grunge killed hair metal/ metal in general/ punk rock (insert your shitty old taste in music here)' but they couldn't have really been listening. They just didn't like how ridiculous their shitty taste, shitty style and shitty record collections had been exposed for actually being, all along.
At the same time: it takes all sorts to make a world. It would be a boring place if everyone was the same. But no matter what nay-sayers say: what Kurt and Nirvana gave us was..., is... and forever will be....
Lanegans book was a great read. Very chilling some of the stories about him and Layne Staley
1:24 they were witnessing *perfection*
The first time I heard Bowies Low and Pink Floyds Dark side of the Moon, was the good moments for me :)
Gibson Weasel oh when I first heard Dark Side Of The Moon, no lie my life actually changed.
I love how Jack Black, a comedian making an animated movie following an obnoxiously hilarious Panda, changes his tone and overall expression from joking around and being funny to being serious and compassionate when he starts talking about Nirvana
Poor guy looks so burnt out but is still engaging. What a class act. He probably enjoyed a music question after talking Kung Fu Panda for 10hrs straight haha. 😎👍
My bezzie mate Waza did the onstage monitors for Nirvana in Manchester just as Nevermind was exploding & he said just what jack Black was explaining about the audience being completely transfixed & caught totally in the moment - & he said after the gig people were just walking around in a daze. Kurt & Nirvana did this to crowds right across the globe night after night - no wonder they became MASSIVE !! My mate Waza also said they didn't need to put 'any' effect on his voice except a little compression, no reverb or delay cos his vocal was so powerful it simply didn't need any 'colouring' whatsoever. Love that story lots. Love Kurt & love Waza from the heart. He is a beautiful person & is a fantastic friend whom I'm lucky to behold. One can get away with doing daft things in life but always choose your friends carefully cos they'll stick with you thru all weathers. God bless you all. Peace !! Love IS a The Answer. Rx
Oops - the letter 'a' managed to sneak into that last sentence.
+Riki Newton It's all good. Nice story. Don't you just love GREAT music. :-)
get off the drugs Riki
“They were so *fucking* good.”
Kung Fu Panda 2 interview
if i had a time-machine... i would want to go back and watch NIRVANA live... 🤘
Me too! 🫠🫠
what an awesome interview. Jack saying "They were so fuckin' good" on an interview about a kid's movie is just so badass to me lol
"They were so fucking good" during an interview about Kung Fu Panda 2, great call Jack.
Regarding the crowd making a show incredible, that holds true for Live Aid at Wembley. Everyone remembers Queen, but the crowd that day were up for every last act. They kept it up for 10 hours.
I love hove his eyes go serious when he talks about the crowd. As the more recognizable half of tenacious D his reverence for the audience is undeniable.
It’s the music that makes the crowd move, Jack.
there's an interview somewhere I watched the other day with Nirvana and Kurt was talking about their really bad shows because the audience was just standing around stiffly.
Try performing in front of an indifferent crowd. There's no energy coming your way, no response, no vibe.
That's so true! the crowd really does have a big impact on how good the show ends up being. so many times i've seen an awesome band but left disappointed because the crowd didn't get that into it
I was there, too, and he’s right about the crowd, although apparently he’s got the date wrong-it was the day after Bill Graham died. He’s probably confused because Chris took a moment between songs to dedicate the show to BG.
It was just a few months after Nevermind was released, I think. So it was an exciting time to see them, and the Warfield is a great sized venue. Definitely felt like the place to be at the time, which helped make the energy.
The show that Jack Black is talking about here is October 26 1991 in the Warfield Theater in San Francisco.
"It takes two to tango" LOOLL! True that!
Imagine Nirvana coming up today. The entire front row and then some holding up their phones to capture the moment instead of actually digesting the performance. To me, that's just one reason why they were the last great rock band.
Adam Smith foo fighters
Tool.
Adam Smith Idiot! There were already cameras films and recording while Nirvana was existence. You know there is a invention called television.
Green Day? No?
There are alot grunge bands, they are just not noticed because this terrible pop music is pushed so much that it's like the only popular music.
I was in a bar in New Zealand, suddenly the whole place goes nuts. Smells like teen spirits. Mkay, this is something else and new.
the date was October 25th, 1991, a few days before Live At The Paramount
I imagine jack blacks wardrobe is entirely wolf/fox shirts
Yes, and I'm so glad I was in my early 20's when Nirvana came out with Nevermind.. Haven't stopped listening to this day! #Loveyoukurtkristdave #NIRVANAROCKS
Man, Jack seems so humble and respectful when talking about the band. Maybe it's not really his favorite music, but he had nothing but good things to say. r.i.p Nirvanna
@ddjdd wfgggb In hindsight, you're probably right, not sure what I was on that day that made me feel that sounded smart kek.
@@zion6680 Jack is good friends with Dave Grohl. Jack has a famous rock comedy band, clearly he loves rock.
Lucky bastard. I did get to see Thursday and Coheed and Cambria in 2003 at a club in west palm beach when I was 14 so that was pretty cool.
What a great analysis!
I live in Aberdeen and got to see them alot even before subpop and bleach. Suck it! =)
Claude Taylor That’s sick
I wasn't. You are lucky... Now what about Alice in Chains or Mother Love Bone... What were they like live?
Aberdeen sucks balls
I’ve heard him tell this story before in another place
I’ve been to a concert like that when the vibe is just right and the band is killing it
It’s unreal and a feeling that you always want to get back to
I remember hearing Nirvana for the first time on a HIP-HOP/R&B station in California... just an amazing feat to be able to break down music genre barriers
I'm a musician and I HATE stagnant crowds....
Dru541 I know what you mean it absolutely sucks. I once played this show with my old band and half the people we'd sold tickets to didn't show up, and those that did turn up were just there because we were their friends. It was one of the most disappointing shows I've ever played.
@@guitar19971 Link to you and your band? I know this is late, but I'm interested
@ddjdd wfgggb like you would know
@ddjdd wfgggb jeez dude, chill out.
"Wait, Jack Black is the coolest man alive?"
"Always has been"
on any given day it fluctuates between him and his Jumanji costar Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
I love the way he explains his experience with Nirvana 1st coming out. It makes me excited, and pumped up
What JB says about the crowd being just as important as the band for a live show - 💯
Lol that look on his face at 0:07
Nirvana played at the Warfield Theatre on 10/26/91. The day after Bill Graham died. Sorry!
32 years ago it was released, seems like yesterday, then again Dark Side of the Moon was also just yesterday to me...
Adding this to favs
" I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO HAVE BEEN ALIVE WHEN NIRVANA WAS AROUND."@LoverElephant97
Dude, the closest thing to revolution I ever saw...seriously.
"I was there for Bleach" - yeah, Jack, so were the rest of us old people that liked stuff coming out of Seattle. I get the sense he's just pulling the reporter's leg though, that cookie-cutter story of experiencing greatness in the making seems to be delivered with an unseen wink. Nirvana had plenty of fans early on and exploded onto the scene, but Jack Black is laying it on thick enough that you can't help but wonder what he really thought at the time.
Jack, you said it! I was there also, 1991 baby! I was 18 years old and I saw Nirvana with Pearl Jam and the Chili Peppers in SD and that show was AWESOME!!!! The crowd was alive and full of energy! Great show! Great crowd! just a really cool time, and like Mr. Black said it must have been like what the kids felt in the 60's with the Beatles, or in the 50's with Elvis perhaps!!!
today this interview popped up into my head (no particular reason, it just did) and i directly quoted to myself “i was there for bleach” and then moved on in thought and forgot about it. i get home from work, open youtube, and this video is the first thing recommended to me.
Bleeeaaaachhhhhh
What a hipster. Strike him down, Lord.
High as fuck Jack lolol
***** Jack doesn't like smoking pot. Gives him anxiety.
+Mike H Yes, watch him on 'getting doug with high' he doesnt even enjoy himself
I LOVE JACK BLACK WAY MORE FOR THIS
Love this guy. He is such a sweetheart. God bless him and his family.
Kids today don't have a clue what a concert should sound like
Lmfao says the Cobain simp

ok cobian
Sadly, they (and adults as well) are too busy holding up their phones to record and upload on their social media.
Nah mate, I saw Jimmy Barnes live and holy shit did he go off.
Is there a video or audio data from this concert? San francisco, 10.25.1991 (bill grahams death)
+Moritz Garcia/// san francisco ... the night bill graham died - jack black says... that is October 25, 1991. and nirvana is playing at the The Palace, Hollywood, CA, USA .. hmm, is that in san francisco?
jack black has a cloudy memory,, or HE IS FULL OF BULLSHIT being there
The show in San Francisco was a day later on October 26th which is the day most people found out about Bill Graham's death. There was also a tribute to him on the marquee of the theatre, so Jack Black was right. Pretty good memory for 25 years later.

The video of Jack Black doing an a capella cover of Polly is what introduced me to Nirvana in the first place. So this video comes to tie it all together and I love it.
Brilliant homage to one of rocks all time greatest from a living legend!
This was a powerful interview. This just made me like Jack Black a lot more. It is time to see the truth about the bands Nirvana and the Beatles, and what made them so special. They were very inspired bands. *google truth contest* and read "The Present" to see the truth about life and about bands that reflected a lot of life (i.e Beatles).
Oh fuck off with your truth contest scam.
LET ME... LET ME TELL YOU SOTHINGG--
AAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGH!

Its san diaaaaaago
"I heard Bleach, and was like 'Who are these guys that are changing music?"'
Bull.shit. No one gave a shit about Bleach when it came out. It's possible he liked it, and maybe even heard it, but don't act like you were in the know that some groundbreaking shit was about to do down, Mr. Black.
+ifyoureagree He's in Tenacious D. He can see the future before it happens.
+ifyoureagree ikr? bleach isn't even on the same genre as nevermind
Who are you to say what he was thinking when he heard it lol. The world does not revolve around your simpleminded, herd conscious self.
+Marshall Mathers "Herd conscious self"??? I'm the one questioning what someone is saying, while you're the one hearing what a famous person is saying, and immediately taking his word verbatim. AKA the epitome of being a media influenced sheep.
+Marshall Mathers Oh, ifyoureagree is my other acct btw.
Going on 26 years in sept and I remember when it came out very clearly. Can't believe it's been 26 years.
The show Jack saw was 'Rock for Choice Benefit' in Hollywood on October 25, 1991. You can find it on TH-cam.
Kung fu panda says bad words. No dignity
This was to promote the movie to the parents who'll take their kids to see it. Little kids don't watch interviews.
i dont think you get the joke
It must have been like when Justin Bieber first come on the music scene and everyone knew he was going to change music
shut up
Don't even put his name with Nirvana in the same sentence
I can see the physical manifestation of sarcasm seeping out of your comment.
what an interview! rock on Jack
Nirvana in San Francisco in 91'. That must've been an incredible experience
-has it been that long?
-yeah.
30th now, by the way :(
Whoa there 30 years is correct and surreal just whoa
Flipping crazy. Plan to listen to it again.
Yeee sure trying to make us belive that he listened to Nirvana when bleach came out....
Omaragorn He mentioned it once, dingus, and at least he was alive when it came out.
What a great memory and description
My thanks to Jack for sharing
Love it! Jack Black is such a great guy!
Jack Black is a really bad liar considering he's an actor.
Not believing someone =/= them lying
Why do you think he's lying? He's a musician and a huge fan of many genres of rock.
Grunge tried to kill the metal, but they failed as they where struck down to the ground!
I think it was more it tried to replace punk rock.
^ or be similar to punk
+DUDE BRO it's a reference to a tenacious D song (jack black's band)
Oh yeah
Don't know if anyone broke this to you by now, but music genres aren't actually people, it's just a style of music. Nobody was trying to kill metal. Kurt Cobain, Lane Staley, Chris Kornell and co all enjoyed metal music. You're being silly.
Love hearing how much he loved them
Hey this movie Came out on my 8th birthday. And here we have Jack black talking about my favorite band of all time.
most disingenuous thing i've ever watched

Morris Thecat as i thought. you can't back up your claim :)
alice in chains were far better than nirvana ever were
wobbly868 Music isn't entirely subjective. There's obvious times when something is higher art. Also, Soundgarden>Mudhoney=Nirvana=Alice>STP>Pearl bruhs
Stfu
waddellski YAWN
You're comparing 2 bands that were NOTHING alike. Besides both coming out of Seattle around the same time, and both lead singers being herion addicts, they were completely different musically. So why the fuck do you people insist on comparing the two bands?
Never Never my beef is that everywhere I see Nirvana hailed as the gods of grunge and while they were good I think that alice in chains were the musical apex of the genre.
waddellski Actually, members of Alice in Chains has said that they weren't grunge more-so than they were metal, so your "beef" is bullshit
So true Jack!
Loved seeing him preform before foo fighters at cal jam… Dave jumping in to finish their set then running to the main stage to do a historical backward walk for the foo fighters THEN having a nirvana “reunion”…. Something I’ll never forget
