@TRUMPFOREVER oh stop with your stupid moral panic, young people have always been this way and radicals in university is basically the norm throughout history. Might be more concerning that people on the right want to shut these people up. Seriously, you get your panties in such a twist because people who were just teenagers think they know everything? That is what young people do when they are becoming adults.
What Kurt said is exactly why I picked up a guitar and play. Watching Kurt play without being perfect at it is inspiring because it shows even if your not really good at it but have the passion to try, that's enough.
I wouldn’t say he wasn’t good he just wasn’t a guitar virtuoso. He’s a very creative songwriter and has a great sense of rhythm. His solos were really melodic and minimalist, his whole style of playing was that way but I wouldn’t by any means say he wasn’t good. To me someone who isn’t good is someone who’s been playing guitar for a month and can’t keep a Rhythm or always hits a bum note.
That's nowhere near enough. Kurt wasn't a good guitar player but he was an amazing songwriter. And he lies a lot about his playing, maybe because of that punk attitude about it. He would often say he couldn't remember how he played solos on the albums, but you hear the songs played live and you can tell he's lying.
i missed the old days of flipping channels on tv until i realized i do the same on youtube with all the channels i'm subscribed. so i guess some things never change lol
@@lol-zp1ps he’s definitely not on heroin here. This was the European tour right after Nevermind came out, he started using after they came home from touring in early 92 and pretty much never stopped again. Just look at performances from this tour they were at the top of their game.
@@shannonpatrick77 no I’m saying on that specific tour in Europe in the summer of 91, he wasn’t using. Partly because it wasn’t easy to score dope going from country to country in Europe and also because his addiction hadn’t spiraled out of control yet.
@@jonathanturkmusic Oh he had something, or you would not see him he had methadone heroin something also Europe was full of heroin it is the continent where it is grown and manufactured all you have to do is go where the junkies hang and you got it. Read Mark Lanigan's book.
@@shannonpatrick77 we will never know for sure when exactly he was using, but if you look at those shows, and there’s lots of video of them, between summer and fall of 91, it’s hard to believe Kurt would’ve been using during those tour runs. His energy was insane, he was knocking the microphone over and singing on the floor, stage diving, jumping up on amps. His energy was never like that again from 92 on, and that’s when he was really using heroin every single day, according to his own journals.
I've watched some Nirvana interviews, and i have to say that Krist was always so philosophical, so Culture Man, when talking about anything; no matter if it's about music or about politics or about a girl... Krist will always go to the next level Bl
Nirvana were hot for such a short time, this was the end of 1991 then 1992 touring and 1993 making In Utero then it was over. Their legacy and influence is astounding.
Honestly I wish they would just put a video camera in the room, no one interviews them and we just see what happens. Dave and Kurt are just fascinating to watch.
TheFutureKing eh it isn't so bad honestly. there's crap but there's a good bit I saw. Manchester by the sea and arrival are some of the best movies I've seen in awhile, also not to mention better call Saul, key and Peele, drunk history, Rick and Morty, and game of thrones to name a few. alot has changed since 1991, people have become more lenient and less offended.
@@samyandkitty8399 This is getting boring. We get it he used drugs. People always say shit about drugs in the comments under anything Kurt related like it's all he was.
@@momark88 he had a disease as talented as he was. And if you ever had any drug related problem you`ll notice the behavior. If not high on heroin, probably smoked some or who knows how many pills he had on him.
Rapido was actually kind of cool... It was something I wasn't old enough to really understand at the time but it had Nirvana on it and it was irreverent and European and kind of subversive and fun.
Nirvana always did amazing, hilarious interviews. They were absolute masters at talking complete bollocks too, like genius levels of bants. There's no one else even remotely like them
@Noble Failures it mostly was them avoiding Curt ignoring the questions and nodding out. They show his jeans because his face would have produced nothing more interesting. They all had jet lag but Kurt victim was sick. The other two brave it out.
They were showing a multi millionaire wearing filthy jeans up it’s not anything more. He is goofed out Kris and Dave cover for him as they always did. View this again in 30 years when you too are old you will see it for what it was
I think Dave always paid attention to charts. I think he was much more ambitious than he let on and acted as if he didn't care. Just my opinion, though.
If you read the book Serving The Servant it talks about Kurt cares WAY more than he let on. Book was amazing. Was written by Hole and Nirvana’s manager
Cobain went for it, definitely. It was in 92 when he began to experience the dark side of it, when his drug use and private life became to spread in the tabloids. The anti rock star thing was a response to the typical rockstar enjoying fame, but they were really into it. They went for success, but nobody expect that the band would become a gigantic phenomenon.
+Dpianogirl I think he would HATE social media but at the same time love to make an account but as a spoof. He wouldn't use his name and he would mock it. He'd find that funny
Kurt would definitely hate music today and the direction it had taken, listen to any of his interviews and besides to think what a dead man would think if he were alive he would hate that kind of thinking to....
Hey cool Kurt mentions the upcoming New Zealand show, Nirvana played only once in NZ on the 9th of feb 1992 at the Auckland town hall, unfortunately no video or audio has surfaced
- "there's one thing ive learned about rock and roll by being in this business for five or six years is to use your illusion" -- " use your illusion I & II"
There are several moments throughout the video where the camera zooms in on various objects in the room. Kurt is wearing stained long johns beneath the jeans, and that shot allows you to see them. It's just an interesting detail to notice, something unique about him. The whole idea of this show is to get to know a band.
You could hear the interviewer telling them "there will be people asking more than us when you get back, your album is number 4 on the charts. You're going to be big" and you could tell they didn't even comprehend how crazy it would get.. it blew up while they were on this tour is Europe so this interview is really cool because it's like right on the line of them being huge and them being a normal underground type band.
Nirvana were never the "biggest band in the world" most hyped, probably? Go and look at all the biggest grossing tours from 91-93 Nirvana are not in the top ten let alone the number one. In terms of album sales they have gone on to outstrip their grunge contemporaries, Pearl Jam, however at the time PJ sold more records, from Rolling Stone Among rock & roll’s hottest record sellers in 1992 were Pearl Jam‘s Ten (3.6 million), Nirvana‘s Nevermind (2.8 million) and the Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ Blood Sugar Sex Magik (2.5 million), according to SoundScan.

I think the only thing Kurt would've liked about today is that interviewers actually know what they want to ask and can make conversation. For some reason, every Nirvana interview I've seen has been held by some European or someone who's first language is not English and of course everyone is bored because there's so much awkward silence.
Well back then if they skipped an interview, there would be none for the whole country of Germany or Denmark. Also, Kurt and Krist were disappointed they had like three interviews the whole time they were with sub pop, they asked geffen to give them more. Unfortunately things turned out not cool.
I've just found this today, yay! After I've found interview from Cambridge in 1990 yesterday. Freakin' love it that I still find pieces of my fav band I've never seen before! Thanks!
I'm 50 years old now. I remember being in college in 94' when Kurt killed himself. It has bothered me for 29 years. I don't dwell on it like before but it is always there. I have so many first press vinyls and a huge collection of everything NIRVANA. It's like time stopped April 5th 1994. Yet it never paused.
These guys may not be english, maths, science curriculum smart but I think they’re really intelligent, they know what’s going on and it’s interesting to hear their thoughts
Back in the 90's what interviews you got to see of your favorite rock bands was very limited with tv and radio. Now, It's like traveling back in time with the internet. You find all these vintage gems.
It's amazing to watch this, two music genusies in the same band together. One realized and the other soon to be. David Ghroul really contained himself in Narvana.So quiet. He knew the drummers place in the band but how he managed to hold his own talent back to fully support the band he is in is impressive. I'm sure that it must have been hard on him just to be the drummer. But Dave said it best. "The last thing a drummer says before he loses his band is Hey I wrote a song for us"
It wasn’t called trolling he was trying to cover and distract from the mess Curt had got himself into. It was like that always after teen spirit became no.1. He held nirvana together for ages until Courtney told it loud and proud about her and Curtis drug habits. He used long before he met her.
This is, by far, my favorite Nirvana interview. Kurt was woke as fuck. I'm definitely going to show this interview to my future kids. I think it'll help them deal with the whole bullshit "being accepted" ideologies found in schools and, just in general, life.
@@damone70 well if you were part of our generation it would make total sense. I only got to see nirvana 4 times and back then they were excellent. However I was the same age as Kieran’s have had the luxury of bringing my kids up and now grandkids and learning to live with the angst of youth and all the abuse etc. The songs spoke excellently to 20 -30 years old me but they were written by a youth who didn’t get to write more mature stuff about how life and the world is different now. Yes I believe that his music is relevant to young people but sadly people grow up and move on into even deeper lyrical content. And yes there is tons of extremely deep lit prose, lyrics and poetry that will mean nothing in your twenties but as you grow , if you grow in both body and soul you will realise how much you do not know. The arrogance of youth is loud and proud in your voice, not everyone looses that but most people grow and as a parent /grandparent you will see this whole thing in a very different light
David Eric Grohl (Warren, Ohio, 14 de enero de 1969) es un músico multiinstrumentista estadounidense de rock. Saltó a la fama a comienzos de los años 1990 como batería de la icónica banda de grunge Nirvana. En 1994, tras la muerte de Cobain y el fin de Nirvana, formó otra banda, Foo Fighters, siendo él en un principio el único miembro y más tarde el vocalista, guitarrista y compositor.
Interviewing one of the most iconic and legendary bands ever to walk the earth and the cameraman spends an inordinate amount of time filming Kurt’s knee, a teapot and ice skating on the telly 🤦🏻♂️
@@eterna1ashtwan you see him put tobacco in it it's not weed. Also they would commonly roll cigarettes. You can see Kurt do it in another video I believe (also talked about in the "Come as you are" book).
I find it so fascinating how much nirvana hated interviews. I don’t think I've seen a band that hates them as much as Nirvana. Krist is the only one that real speaks in all of them
Kurt hated the media, Dave wasn't too keen on stepping on Kurt's toes. Krist, being the oldest, was the resident older brother and therefore the one with the answers.
All these interviews ask the same questions, they do almost no research. Watch their interview with Nardwaur, they really perk up when he asks interesting questions
Dave would be chipper as fuck and chatting it up like crazy if he didn’t have to worry about the public persona that Kurt wanted for the band. Check out Dave’s early interviews with the Foo Fighters lol.
I think in the very beginning of their career in interviews Kurt was gracious and thoughtful of the way he came across and tried a little more to work with the interviewers but I think very quickly he just couldn't do it anymore because he wasn't comfortable with the questions from the beginning and it just got old really quick. Of course there's exhaustion as well and the boredom with answering the same questions, but it's just interesting to see how he changes in interviews. It seems he was always wondering "why in the hell do you care what I think???" The old cliche of people feeling like a fraud.
Didn't think highly of himself which was surprising as with the money and fame he had, most would flash it for the media but not him. Drove the same old cars and bought junk. Wasn't perfect like some want to think but he was authentic.
I love how the guy doing the interview was like "yeah looks like it" when asking if he rolled it too tight. Love this interview! How many of you on here loved Nirvana before they became super famous? Thumbs up!!!! :D
If this interview was happening now, you’d probably see them fiddling with their cell phones, and slipping in quick texts while the other person was talking. There would be no continuity between the three of them…the entire conversation would be lost . Notice the impossible happening in front of your very eyes, not one cell phone to fiddle between the three of them.
6:40 The interviewer says your getting so famous people are going to want to know your opinion on everything when you get back to America. Kurt let's out a groan like he's realizing shit this fame thing might not be worth it.
Only because they weren’t asking him they asked Curt but Curt by this time was too smacked up to answer or even hear the question, Kris was extremely good at trying to cover up the mess Curt was causing. All the magazine interviews where he never showed the tv shows Curt never showed or turned up in a mess like this. You young guys think he was functioning like Justin bieber, he believed that being smacked up made him apear cool because of the punks and people like Hendrix the doors etc. Without Kris nirvana would not have made nevermind or anything else. Curt could hardly function by 92
Pretty sure this is a hotel room in Sheffield. Sure I read that. They played the octagon that night and had filmed top of the pops the day before. I want to know hi hi hotel. I went to Sheffield university 2002-05 and did exams in the octagon. That place was history for me, just knowing nirvana played there. Felt special
One thing to add. Time is a strange thing. In 2002 at Sheffield uni, nirvana felt so far away in time. Now I realise that a decade isn’t much at all. It’s all relative. Just make sure you enjoy yourselves kids! Life is too short. I wish kurt could’ve seen past all the pain he had at the time. If only, eh? He changed my life
Dave was actually really level headed and mature for his age, I used to just think he was boring but watching this now, he's saying all the same things that I think now, in regards to where they were on the charts and how they didn't care and were just doing what they did. It's like he was a 32 year old inside a 22 year old's body.
Nirvana acted like they didn't love being rockstars but they did . This always happens in a big culture change . The status quo because the enemy . Nirvana went to war on the hair metal bands and "male drivin" society . Now culture is reversing back . The whole gay , drag , trans and let everybody do their own thing , accept ppl for who they are ......people are tired of being told what to think . It's all the same reason . People want to do what they want and not be told to do so .
Mr.SmithGNR Smith lol fighting over bullshit like identity politics is not “communism.” It’s mostly pushed by Neoliberals and Neocons that want to keep us bickering over stupid shit, like who’s wearing the red hat screaming this week, and who’s got the blue suit yelling about Trump’s tweets. All the while, they bomb the shit out of the Middle East and rape the middle and lower classes of all possibility of anything ever getting done or passed in Congress that would help anyone but the corporations.

Yep, one of Nirvana's main messages they repeated often. Seriously, who's more passionate than Kurt Cobain? Great band. :>)
Kurt had "anti-solos" in some songs lol. A part where a solo would be slipped in he would play something all fucked up and nonsensical, awesome.
It's kind of ironic how there are tabs and lessons trying to copy those note for note
I wouldn’t say he wasn’t good he just wasn’t a guitar virtuoso. He’s a very creative songwriter and has a great sense of rhythm.

As successful as they were at this point, they still rolled and even shared cigarettes. Humble to the core. Fame didn't phase them.
Exactly
Pretty sure fame phased Kurt.
To put it lightly.
I miss Kurt so much
Did you know him? I doubt it. Go live with a musician on smack. You seriously would be devastated.
@UCLCJyQnNGGnkPCFcp2wcDrA Karen, give it a rest already. Ya triggered bitch. 🤣🖕
ur in the wrong place bro, we all miss him
@@samyandkitty8399yeah go away if you hate Kurt and something you DO like. Get a life.
I think the only thing Kurt would've liked about today is that interviewers actually know what they want to ask and can make conversation. For some reason, every Nirvana interview I've seen has been held by some European or someone who's first language is not English and of course everyone is bored because there's so much awkward silence.
Well back then if they skipped an interview, there would be none for the whole country of Germany or Denmark. Also, Kurt and Krist were disappointed they had like three interviews the whole time they were with sub pop, they asked geffen to give them more. Unfortunately things turned out not cool.
I reckon they would hate the fakeness of interviews today. They dont seem too hating in this interview, its pretty chill to watch tbf
Kurt is so cute like a cat, he behaves like a cat too. 0>
I was actually watching them live in Sheffield when this TOTP was broadcast! Happy memories!
I've just found this today, yay! After I've found interview from Cambridge in 1990 yesterday. Freakin' love it that I still find pieces of my fav band I've never seen before! Thanks!
Been scowering TH-cam for everything I can Nirvana. When you think you watched it all and you discover something else!
Have you seen that nirvana tribute band "Buzz Lovers?" UNREAL...
Got to love the 90s vibe
Nirvana at the top of their game, the epitome of coolness in this interview
Thanks for The Entire Interview
no internet yet and how cool it was.
Lmao it's funny how they could care less about how famous of an album they created which shows that they just love playing music
Early on even Kurt loved it, chemistry was bang on.
I’d want to have the same ideals of all the punk and grunge rockers cause it’s a really simple concept
Wasn't that big a deal quiet yet but it was starting.
They cared
Obviously you were a kid then. Kurt took music extremely seriously
I'm 50 years old now. I remember being in college in 94' when Kurt killed himself. It has bothered me for 29 years. I don't dwell on it like before but it is always there. I have so many first press vinyls and a huge collection of everything NIRVANA. It's like time stopped April 5th 1994. Yet it never paused.
you might be enlightened to know that he didn’t.
@@dove_11111he definitely did

Wowww thzx
Krist Novoselic has to be part of the inspiration for the Big Lebowski.
😁
"That's just like, your opinion man"
Far fucking out
These guys may not be english, maths, science curriculum smart but I think they’re really intelligent, they know what’s going on and it’s interesting to hear their thoughts
Krist is such a great guy.
Back in the 90's what interviews you got to see of your favorite rock bands was very limited with tv and radio. Now, It's like traveling back in time with the internet. You find all these vintage gems.
It's amazing to watch this, two music genusies in the same band together. One realized and the other soon to be. David Ghroul really contained himself in Narvana.So quiet. He knew the drummers place in the band but how he managed to hold his own talent back to fully support the band he is in is impressive. I'm sure that it must have been hard on him just to be the drummer. But Dave said it best. "The last thing a drummer says before he loses his band is Hey I wrote a song for us"
Not to mention that he was the sixth drummer. He has said that he was nervous that he wasn’t good enough.
3 musical geniuses*
Grohl*
krist was also a genius, he didn’t just play the guitar part on bass he did harmonies and licks and wrote some of the best bass lines of the 90s.
This is a lot more than was broadcast at the time!
9:45 camera man zooms in on kurts knees? Wtf?
Getting a look at that double layered clothing.
I think the cameraman was just picking a reference point to focus. Notice that once he focuses up he then zooms out back to the wider shot.
Not as weird as the tea pots as if they picked them out personally. lol
Krist is trolling the interviewer so hard
It wasn’t called trolling he was trying to cover and distract from the mess Curt had got himself into. It was like that always after teen spirit became no.1. He held nirvana together for ages until Courtney told it loud and proud about her and Curtis drug habits. He used long before he met her.
@29:08 Director: "Dave is twirling the glass ash tray, quick, zoom in, get a close up shot!"
God they are hilariously genius… you can’t find humor like this often 🙌🏻
Quite Karen, no one cares about your opinion. Ahahahaha
@@damone70 men stfu if you don't mind don't comment
This is, by far, my favorite Nirvana interview. Kurt was woke as fuck. I'm definitely going to show this interview to my future kids. I think it'll help them deal with the whole bullshit "being accepted" ideologies found in schools and, just in general, life.
What a load of crap. Watch it in thirty years and see what you notice then, you will see it very different
@@samyandkitty8399 Wrong. This is a timeless message.
@@damone70 so you are in your late 50s now?
@@samyandkitty8399 How did you come to that assumption, Karen? That made no sense. Hahahaha
@@damone70 well if you were part of our generation it would make total sense. I only got to see nirvana 4 times and back then they were excellent. However I was the same age as Kieran’s have had the luxury of bringing my kids up and now grandkids and learning to live with the angst of youth and all the abuse etc. The songs spoke excellently to 20 -30 years old me but they were written by a youth who didn’t get to write more mature stuff about how life and the world is different now. Yes I believe that his music is relevant to young people but sadly people grow up and move on into even deeper lyrical content.
And yes there is tons of extremely deep lit prose, lyrics and poetry that will mean nothing in your twenties but as you grow , if you grow in both body and soul you will realise how much you do not know. The arrogance of youth is loud and proud in your voice, not everyone looses that but most people grow and as a parent /grandparent you will see this whole thing in a very different light
Their personalities are just fucking hilarious.
Poor Kurt he just wants to go to sleep😂
David Eric Grohl (Warren, Ohio, 14 de enero de 1969) es un músico multiinstrumentista estadounidense de rock. Saltó a la fama a comienzos de los años 1990 como batería de la icónica banda de grunge Nirvana. En 1994, tras la muerte de Cobain y el fin de Nirvana, formó otra banda, Foo Fighters, siendo él en un principio el único miembro y más tarde el vocalista, guitarrista y compositor.
Interviewing one of the most iconic and legendary bands ever to walk the earth and the cameraman spends an inordinate amount of time filming Kurt’s knee, a teapot and ice skating on the telly 🤦🏻♂️
😂😂😂
Goddam true!
R.I.P. Kurt Cobain. Great video!
Nice upload :)
I like how the camera man focuses on the rips in Kurt's jeans
Anyone else notice Dave skipping past Sgt Slaughter at the 91 WWF Survivor Series at 20:10 ?
Ahh yes, I remember being that young once. Never as talented, but I miss those days of the mystery of how life would unfold.
krist was the smartest guy in the room by far
Kurt was a songwriting genius but Krist was cultivated as hell, in lots of interviews

@@eterna1ashtwan you see him put tobacco in it it's not weed. Also they would commonly roll cigarettes. You can see Kurt do it in another video I believe (also talked about in the "Come as you are" book).
I find it so fascinating how much nirvana hated interviews. I don’t think I've seen a band that hates them as much as Nirvana. Krist is the only one that real speaks in all of them
Kurt hated the media, Dave wasn't too keen on stepping on Kurt's toes. Krist, being the oldest, was the resident older brother and therefore the one with the answers.
i cant blame them, so many of these interviewers are unbearably boring lol
All these interviews ask the same questions, they do almost no research. Watch their interview with Nardwaur, they really perk up when he asks interesting questions
Dave would be chipper as fuck and chatting it up like crazy if he didn’t have to worry about the public persona that Kurt wanted for the band. Check out Dave’s early interviews with the Foo Fighters lol.
nirvana,just a great band from the 80's and 90s
At 30:35 I actually went to try and adjust the tracking on my video player?!?
The cameraman seems as bored as them
This was shot in their hotel room after their show at the Sheffield Octagon 28th November 91, I believe, I can tell by the teapot.
YES KN at 19:27 & we're still feeding that beast an endless feast in 2020.
They were SO hilarious!
For the kids out there, that's what we used to call a TV :)
I think in the very beginning of their career in interviews Kurt was gracious and thoughtful of the way he came across and tried a little more to work with the interviewers but I think very quickly he just couldn't do it anymore because he wasn't comfortable with the questions from the beginning and it just got old really quick. Of course there's exhaustion as well and the boredom with answering the same questions, but it's just interesting to see how he changes in interviews. It seems he was always wondering "why in the hell do you care what I think???" The old cliche of people feeling like a fraud.
His interview with Jon Savage is my favourite, he tells his story the way he wants to and completely trusts Jon. Nearly a good 2 hours, look it up. 👍
Didn't think highly of himself which was surprising as with the money and fame he had, most would flash it for the media but not him. Drove the same old cars and bought junk. Wasn't perfect like some want to think but he was authentic.
@@Cairo98_ arbedeen then, Aberdeen now..but sad he didn't get help
Krist makes me think of Frank Zappa if he had 25 in the 90s and play bass in a punk rock band.
I love how the guy doing the interview was like "yeah looks like it" when asking if he rolled it too tight. Love this interview! How many of you on here loved Nirvana before they became super famous? Thumbs up!!!! :D
27:10 is very important
My left ear enjoyed this
Early 1990's hotel room chic. It was a strange time.
if the late 80s were opulent the early 90s were very austere
If this interview was happening now, you’d probably see them fiddling with their cell phones, and slipping in quick texts while the other person was talking. There would be no continuity between the three of them…the entire conversation would be lost . Notice the impossible happening in front of your very eyes, not one cell phone to fiddle between the three of them.
6:40 The interviewer says your getting so famous people are going to want to know your opinion on everything when you get back to America. Kurt let's out a groan like he's realizing shit this fame thing might not be worth it.
Man oh man, They were hilarious "let me tell you something jerky" Priceless!
interviewers allow the most awkward pauses after krist talks...
Only because they weren’t asking him they asked Curt but Curt by this time was too smacked up to answer or even hear the question, Kris was extremely good at trying to cover up the mess Curt was causing. All the magazine interviews where he never showed the tv shows Curt never showed or turned up in a mess like this. You young guys think he was functioning like Justin bieber, he believed that being smacked up made him apear cool because of the punks and people like Hendrix the doors etc. Without Kris nirvana would not have made nevermind or anything else. Curt could hardly function by 92
@@samyandkitty8399 *kurt and yeah it’s not a secret he had a drug problem

We get it you hate Kurt
Geez

They were so goddamm young 🤘
hearing them talk about twin peaks even for a moment is amazing :.)
Hey alright
@Generic Name didnt even like the first season?
Gotta zoom in on that teapot every few minutes. Looks like it's making to escape.
Pretty sure this is a hotel room in Sheffield. Sure I read that. They played the octagon that night and had filmed top of the pops the day before. I want to know hi hi hotel. I went to Sheffield university 2002-05 and did exams in the octagon. That place was history for me, just knowing nirvana played there. Felt special
One thing to add. Time is a strange thing. In 2002 at Sheffield uni, nirvana felt so far away in time. Now I realise that a decade isn’t much at all. It’s all relative. Just make sure you enjoy yourselves kids! Life is too short. I wish kurt could’ve seen past all the pain he had at the time. If only, eh? He changed my life
@@scottpannell2286How did he change your life?
3:29 I thought my father and I were the only ones that randomly said this rhythm exercise 😂
Ready to face the time space spiral and to be with everyone of quality.
13:55 are they sure this story isn't about me
Can we talk about the version of smells like in the beginning? i love it lol
Top of the pops haha kurt singing like Ian Curtis
Dave was actually really level headed and mature for his age, I used to just think he was boring but watching this now, he's saying all the same things that I think now, in regards to where they were on the charts and how they didn't care and were just doing what they did. It's like he was a 32 year old inside a 22 year old's body.
Who cares what anyone else says besides Cobain.... unfortunately he doesn't talk enough
Level headed ,no pills no powders.
Nirvana acted like they didn't love being rockstars but they did . This always happens in a big culture change . The status quo because the enemy . Nirvana went to war on the hair metal bands and "male drivin" society . Now culture is reversing back . The whole gay , drag , trans and let everybody do their own thing , accept ppl for who they are ......people are tired of being told what to think . It's all the same reason . People want to do what they want and not be told to do so .
J-man 80 things were so much better back then. Today’s world is so fucked up.
@@loribarney52 Careful now, can't assume things or an angry mob will come after you lol.
Yep....liberalism has become communism....I’m on NO side btw....just the truth.....
Mr.SmithGNR Smith lol fighting over bullshit like identity politics is not “communism.” It’s mostly pushed by Neoliberals and Neocons that want to keep us bickering over stupid shit, like who’s wearing the red hat screaming this week, and who’s got the blue suit yelling about Trump’s tweets. All the while, they bomb the shit out of the Middle East and rape the middle and lower classes of all possibility of anything ever getting done or passed in Congress that would help anyone but the corporations.
“Use your illusion” what a troll lol
Aberdeen is twin peaks without the excitement, You mean ...without the investigations ?!
This interview is all messed up, even the cameraman seems to just casually filming around 😂
Nirvana made us live a dream and they were the most reason why 90's were uniqie
