He looks like a local government stalwart if ever there was one. I bet he has countless local victories under his belt... Free parking in the town centre, clean parks... This list is endless
I’m sure he was happy to have people listening and loving his music, and the money is definitely a nice bonus. The fame just exacerbated the demons he already had.
@@fleetwoodcraic4235 If you listen to those, including Krist, who knew him well, and read his own words he was more than happy about it. It was his dream and goal to be a huge rock star. But I don't think ANY of us would really know what that means til we get there. It has to be a LOT. Of course he wanted to make it huge with his music his way and that's respectable. As for his demons, from what I know a lot of that stemmed from the near certainty that he had celiac disease and it was largely, if not complete untreated for years. Celiac can completely decimate your life and it and other gluten issues weren't nearly as known or confronted like they are now. It turns your midsection into a firefight. He's not nearly the first person to turn to heroin for relief from the pain of it. That condition, to me, was his biggest demon. His gut and the cure he chose. Daily, heavy pain, can kill everything about a person.
how can ya not love this guy. sometimes I feel bad for him because there's not too many people throughout history that know what he's gone through the past 30 years
@@johnlemon874 Yeah, but you can accept that, or you don't. And not accepting that is naive at best. Kurt was popular with teens, because he was edgy and wanted to be different. Realizing that were all not that different is part of becoming an adult. And when teens don't become adults, that's usually a very bad thing for them and everyone around. It's the age old story of the grown man living in his parents basement (or tent if you go back a couple thousand years...). And when you then become rich and famous, it's a very confusing situation. Imagine getting all your desires fullfilled, without having to really work for them. Dave and Krist got through it somehow, and they're definitely matured now.
Krist is such a cool guy! Great bass player as well, really underrated his ability to work with Kurt and his stage presence was really cool as well. 🤘🤘
He was in one of the biggest rock bands of all time and hundreds of millions, if not billions of people have enjoyed his iconic basslines (which are still played hundreds of times per day on the radio) …and anyone with the slightest bit of musical knowledge can appreciate what he brought to Nirvana. He’s pretty f-ing far from being “underrated”. 😂 Just because he’s not as famous as Kurt & Dave doesn’t mean he’s underrated. Everyone knows who Krist is and everyone loves him. You’re talking about NIRVANA for god’s sake, not some indie band that only hipsters have heard about. The word underrated is completely meaningless now. Lmfao
All these people saying Kurt hated being famous and a rock star.. I give you Mr Krist Novoselic , someone I think would know a little more about him than any of us ...
Those 3 years really did feel like 20 years, not just for the artists, but for the fans too. We all experienced that compressed energy together, followed by depressed energy as the growing voice and words of our Nirvana had suddenly been taken out of our lives. Many of us are still in recovery mode 2 decades later.

Lol wow man! I cannot believe you've continued to grow so big on this channel, great job Rick! Very VERY happy for you, and we get the benefit of seeing your content get better and better. Simply blown away!
for years after nirvanas demise Kris was always s underground shows/parties with Gf or wife. youd see him at the showbox, the croc, off ramp, moes, normally if there was a half ways decent band playing
Dylan wanted to be "as big as Elvis." Very common among the 'I don't care' crowd. They snarl and bark about the phoniness of the business, but they work their balls off to be able to reject it all in public.
Thank god he said it man! He just confirmed what I always felt and told my friends who were diehards. Don’t put that dude on a pedestal man.. he’s human! No one makes a band to not be (x)… but all my friends said, “nah man, he’s deeper and hated this or that” 😅 I’m a fan of Nirv (not a huge one but still) but I’m not an idiot either lol
@JerboFotius No, this was a done deal before her. I read the book "Never Fade Away", about his life. "A little group, it's always been and always will until the end". He dealt with depression.
This guy anyway is very low profile but had a lot or killer bass lines, essential and to the point and with a bit of genius. Kinda the same quality mccartney had (have)
This is the first time I have ever heard anyone say that Kurt Cobain wanted to be famous… I would imagine that he wanted his music to be famous, but by all accounts (except this one), he was painfully shy.
Kurt wrote about fame at length in his published journal if you're curious. He had pretty structured plans and ideas. He wasn't artificial or superficial about it though, just smart and ambitious and very conflicted.
I don't know about Kurt's life story or personality, but being shy and wanting to be famous at the same time, aren't mutually exclusive things (another famous example of this is Freddie Mercury, who wanted to be a star since very young, but was very private and shy outside of the stage)

real
But would u vote for him?

ppl changes
He has morphed into Chevy Chase
That is the best Dr. Phil impression I’ve ever seen😆😆😆
Adam Ray would disagree
We'll be right back.....
Dr. Phil meets Jeffrey Tambor.
Definitely got a lot of Tambor, too.
I'm glad he said it out loud. Kurt DEFINITELY wanted to be a huge rock star. Of course you never know what that's like til you get it.
I’m sure he was happy to have people listening and loving his music, and the money is definitely a nice bonus. The fame just exacerbated the demons he already had.

I love krist. Dude is so genuine and hasn’t changed
I swear I still see the overly sarcastic kid from the interviews he’s never changed lol
how can ya not love this guy. sometimes I feel bad for him because there's not too many people throughout history that know what he's gone through the past 30 years
Only Ringo could super relate, and that now be 60 years again.. Ringo and Dave.
@rahamanhudson1573 true. there's not many really...I'm talking on that scale. David spade comes to mind...but David kept on rollin' with his career
The moment anti-mainstream turned mainstream
Everyone is slave to their biological social creature behavior so I don’t blame him
The 90s were wild for that. Lots of weird and experimental bands that wouldn't even get a scratch on the mainstream became wildely known and loved
Alternative is mainstream

Same thing happened in the 70's and 80's, really. Punk rock sold out from the start. Crass' song Punk is Dead from 1978 griped all about it.
Another important and excellent quote from Krist was Nirvana did not go to the mainstream, the mainstream came to Nirvana. Big difference.
Kurt used to call MTV every day to show them more and more. Don't be fooled. He chased tô be recognized and be famous. Nothing wrong about it anyways.
They came to each other.
@lauroneto3360 where you get that info from?
@@peanutpeanut123 Reading about it. He wanted to be a famous band. This legend that he was cursed with fame is not accurate. He chased it.
@lauroneto3360 krist says in another interview he wanted to be famous. No mention of phoning MTV every day tho. Big difference
Krist is such a cool guy! Great bass player as well, really underrated his ability to work with Kurt and his stage presence was really cool as well. 🤘🤘

Dont get so hung up on youtube ckmments @@clicheguevara5282
Such a cool guy…saw him walking around Seattle by some clubs about 25 years ago. Yelled “hey Krist” and he waved!
He looks happy again and is showing his jokester side like before ❤
Maybe he got over Kurt. I've read after the Kurt's dead he changed 180 degrees. Maybe after 30 yrs
All these people saying Kurt hated being famous and a rock star.. I give you Mr Krist Novoselic , someone I think would know a little more about him than any of us ...

I think I'm even more obsessed now with all the information and media we get to enjoy =)
3 decades later
It really did, crazy
Yeah the time did drag on because of the terrible music that was everywhere then.
Jesus boo hoo cry me a river
Krist has perfect pitch!?!
😱😱😱
Don’t usually get a Jigsaw Puzzle quote. One of my fav Stones songs.
It just occurred to me. Yes, it was only 3 years. That's it. Think about it. Like a nuclear bomb effect.

I ❤krist novoselic
for years after nirvanas demise Kris was always s underground shows/parties with Gf or wife.
youd see him at the showbox, the croc, off ramp, moes, normally if there was a half ways decent band playing
Thats the look and stash of a man that has ruler to measure his lawn.
The few bands that never goes sellout
This isn’t accurate
crazy it was only 3 years
Early 90’s were incredibly awesome musically and culturally
I vaguely remember 1991 - 1994. Looking back on it, that was a weird time to be alive
Chris looks like he turned into the dad everyone was trying to rebel against at the time.
Dylan wanted to be "as big as Elvis." Very common among the 'I don't care' crowd. They snarl and bark about the phoniness of the business, but they work their balls off to be able to reject it all in public.
Love the stones ‘jigsaw puzzle’ reference
I wish Krist did a podcast interviewing people. I feel he would be awesome at it.
pulling that stones lyric out as a literal description of his life is just so badass
love him
I thought this was rob reiner at first
Kris one of the nicest kindest guys out there
Those 3 guys are still so cool to me and I’m 45 lol 🤙🏼
I wish I could see Kurt grow old.
Kurt’s dad is very insightful here
I’m going to tell my kids this was Dr Phil
It's nice of Krist's dad to say such nice things about him.
Kurt Cobain's personality is the perfect example of what 'contrarian' looks and acts like when he was alive. Dude had a lot of issues.
Krist was for a moment 'naked in public' during Nirvana live in Ghent Belgium in 1991 towards the end LOL
Thank god he said it man! He just confirmed what I always felt and told my friends who were diehards.
Don’t put that dude on a pedestal man.. he’s human! No one makes a band to not be (x)… but all my friends said, “nah man, he’s deeper and hated this or that” 😅
I’m a fan of Nirv (not a huge one but still) but I’m not an idiot either lol
Krist looks more like a HS shop teacher than part of the greatest band of the grunge era. Age happens to all of us.
X looks more like Y than X is false.
He talks like one too lol
Tbf the mustasche isnt helping
@@InZomnia365Fact
Back in the 90’s three years felt like a long time. Now in the 21st century three years goes by like nothing
He looks like a middle school principal
Hey its Dr. Phil
The whole band aged rapidly during that timem
I could understand Kurt wanting to be famous, he struggled and maybe thought it would make his life easier. The rest is history
And then he met Courtney, and fate was sealed
@JerboFotius No, this was a done deal before her. I read the book "Never Fade Away", about his life. "A little group, it's always been and always will until the end". He dealt with depression.
“Foo Fighters? Fuck me then right?”
Dude I hate that dream 😂
Chris looks like he could be Kurt's dad
Kirko bangz
okay rick, that was one nirvana too many. i am off and away.
💀
This just caused me one of those realizing I’m old as hell moments seeing Krist became dr Phil
This guy anyway is very low profile but had a lot or killer bass lines, essential and to the point and with a bit of genius. Kinda the same quality mccartney had (have)
Pearl jam lived their, and definitely Theirs lives and career of this band in their absence.....
Kriast is such a jokster
I might hire him to do my taxes.
Shave the stash and the head get cooler facial hair - dude looks like he’s a cop or a mechanic
Where's JB??
Seems like Sheldon’s uncle
This guy makes me feel old AF
Love the Life you Live
Lol full suburban dad
This is the first time I have ever heard anyone say that Kurt Cobain wanted to be famous… I would imagine that he wanted his music to be famous, but by all accounts (except this one), he was painfully shy.
To me it has always been obvious that he did everything he could to be famous, including pretending that he didn't want to be famous
And not only just anyone saying it, but his very good friend & the only other original member of Nirvana who was there the entire time.
Kurt wrote about fame at length in his published journal if you're curious. He had pretty structured plans and ideas. He wasn't artificial or superficial about it though, just smart and ambitious and very conflicted.
Be careful what you wish for comes to mind
I don't know about Kurt's life story or personality, but being shy and wanting to be famous at the same time, aren't mutually exclusive things (another famous example of this is Freddie Mercury, who wanted to be a star since very young, but was very private and shy outside of the stage)
Nirvana is the perfect example of sellouts. The most counterculture person in the world was playing for MTV.
Lost all respect for Krist when he praised Trump in 2020. Not sure where he’s at not, but dude has a lot of making up to do. Kurt would loathe Trump.
That's a big assumption based on your own political beliefs.
