    Dave's transformation from introverted in Nirvana to extroverted as front man of the Foos is incredible. And I mean in interviews. If you watch old Nirvana interviews he rarely speaks. Krist always lead the interviews.

      I think he always had it in him. Sadly, tragedy can become a significant motivator in ones life. I hope it remains true in the wake of yet another tragic loss in his life. Dave's kind of a beacon of hope to me out of dark times.

    Given the times we are in, I find very honest of the interviewer to ask a question about Nirvana that actually allows Dave to demistify Nirvana's modern conception. It's been almost 25 years of questions that have only had the goal to feed the myth and make people believe that Nirvana was just about doing drugs and thinking about suicide. That's why everyone who's not into that sort of music remembers Nirvana as the band of the guy who shot himself, rather than remembering them for their music, their energy, their political ideas, their funny but interesting interviews...

      Agreed. Dave was the one in control in this. He might have well have said "Next" when he was done with his answer. There was no expansion on any of the answers aside from a small obvious comment with a chuckle, and then "...cool..." with an awkward pause, followed by "...ummm..." followed by a search down his list for the next question. It was awful :)
