Nirvana: Nevermind 20th Anniversary [Jon Stewart interview] Part 1/7

- Daily Show host Jon Stewart will hosting a Q&A session with the surviving members of Nirvana on a SiriusXM broadcast celebrating the 20th anniversary of their landmark album Nevermind.
Grohl and Novoselic also recalled how Nevermind felt like a dream come true. "It didn't really seem like this would happen. It was almost like a scam." That might explain the band's frugal living conditions during the recording: Nirvana's members split a room in a $70-a-night hotel. Then again, rappers Kid 'n Play were fellow residents of the Oakwood Corporate Apartments, where Grohl apparently met them at the free breakfast buffet; also among the hotel's denizens were "The Final Countdown" rockers Europe.
The interview was held in a "town hall" style, where the live studio audience and callers at home could ask questions. Other topics discussed, according to Newsday, included the use of a click track (at Vig's request, Grohl used a metronome for his drumming on "Lithium" and "Something in the Way"), alternate producer choices (along with Vig, candidates included Neil Young producer David Briggs and R.E.M./Smithereens producer Don Dixon), and, of course, Kurt Cobain's absence. "I wish Kurt was here," Novoselic said. "There's a big hole here."

This album changed my life forever , I got the tape from my friend and started playing it . When I heard Lithium I got goose bumps , and couldn't believe how fucking good this music made me . It was like taking a drug , a Nirvana drug lol
After that I started growing my hair long and dyed it blonde , and played the guitar for hours a day . Those were the days as a teenager , now we are all grown up .
Wow I didn't know Nirvana's music cold move the emotions of a Dinosaur
+Derpfect Cell lmao
And everything changed... it doesnt get more truth than this...
WOW for a Nirvana super fan this is the most these 3 have talked about this album in 20 years combined. LOVE IT!!!!!
Youth is more than just an age number. It's life experience, what you encounter, what influences you, and what your attitude is as a result of that.
God...I was crying..Just hoping Kurt was here with us..
"It was like the Beatles had swallowed Black Flag" Wow best description of Nirvana ever
"the beatles swallowed black flag"
Damn over 20 years, man I'm old. I was a hardcore hip hop cat and I even say this album was classic! Has to be the best album in the last 20 years no question.
I wish he interviewed them once a month for a year like this. Or that this interview never ended. LOVE IT!
The 80s was a battle where 4 piece rock bands and acoustic instruments were less common. 80s synth pop music tried to silence great indie rock acts such as REM, The Paul Collins Beat, Willie Nile, Long Ryders and The Replacements. In the 90s, mainstream alternative corporate rock threatened to silence all other music. Grunge, punk rock and indie rock pumped new life into music.
I'll never forget the first time I heard Nevermind at a party when I was 16, it was the day it came out. I already loved Bleach but Nevermind changed everything. It was one of those defining moments in music history, like the first time the world heard The Beatles or the first time they heard Led Zeppelin.. so great, so rare.
honestly only krist is the original founding member here. Dave was brought on because kurt loved his drum timing but they were from different musical branches. Kurt was more dilly and dave was always octane. They spent a month in silence thats not normal.. even joking.
Im part of the youth, and thankfully i know of the good ol' music of the 90's :D
Thank you for posting and thanks to Nirvana for changing the world
THANK YOU KIND SIR/MADAME. Been looking for the entire interview.
I love nirvana because no matter how heavy or metallic or punk the sound could be.They had a more satiric edge,cobain never took music that seriously.A guy who could write a song like sifting then turnaround and hear something like hairspray queen.And that element makes the music more powerful than the sound garden,pearl jam and Alice in chains.
Thanks!! I listened on sirius, but I am glad it's here too. I won tickets to this and sadly couldn't make it.
Incredible & thank you for posting!!!
NO ONE sounds like Nirvana, nor will anyone ever again... unfortunately.
I just posted this to someone else, but here you go again:
Indie is not a style of music or a genre.. It's like saying Soft Cover Books is a genre. It's an approach to art, to do things independently. Nirvana was an indie band for most of its existence, until they switched to DGC. Kurt says many times that those "indie" days were the best of the band's career, right before they got famous.
Why are people arguing over Nirvana and AIC? I finally see people on a Nirvana video not spamming it with Justin Bieber or One Direction, and actually keeping it in the genre. Before anyone can comment I was not alive during Nirvana, I was born in 96,but I still think Nirvana and AIC are two of the greatest things that ever happened to the 90s. If we're keeping it in the genre, why argue? Not many people respect grunge for what it is.
This is awesome.
Sound City was the same studio where Fleetwood Mac recorded "Rumors" and Tom Petty made "Damn The Torpedoes". It recently shut down. What a shame, considering the many great albums recorded there.
Thanks for sharing this. I really enjoyed it.
Krist looks so sad here in the photo...
+etherealmist76 i think hes sad that kurt couldnt be there.
yeah, he looks so sad. I guess when your best friend dies and everyone (including the fans) exploits it, it must be awful. Krist was with kurt from the beginning, and was probably the only one who didn't want anything from him, except to play in the greatest band of that time.
Yeah .I feel broken seeing him sad like that.
Thanks for this upload!
"cuz he's a spaz...you know? but hey, thats alright, its just the way he is.."
Lmao! a lovely description of Dave.
Don't stress so much on wanting someone who sounds like Nirvana. Maybe we should open our minds and understand that if bands started sounding like those of the past that we knew, still know, and love, it would be quite a bland world. Its all about originality and music from the heart. Focus on movies for example: If the world started making every movie some sort of dramatic romance story that lasted over 3 hours, it would definitely get old at some point.
22yrs old this album..., shit I feel old as fuk!
Wow i loved this!!!
"Everything changed" ... until society became less rebellious than ever.
yeah thats why i look deeper for music. but i imagine the mainstream back in the nineties would of had its low points like it did now. theres no need to romantizie it. nirvava were just one of the few great bands that made it huge
Funny story about when they met Ozzy in the studio :) Cheers for posting these!
It's still going on.. If you think Disturbed and Nickelback is "rock today" you are extremely deluded.. The rock/indie music scene is bigger and better than ever, and it is in part thanks to Nirvana for widening who the indie/rock audience is. I think this is the best time is popular music ever..
Happy birthday, Kurt!
click tracks are a must....learn to pay AROUND them . IF the music calls for one...for sure!
Comedian Bill Burr on fake Nirvana fans:
"It's the 20th anniversary of 'nevermind' & I could just tell there was a change in the air..You Didn't Know Shit, you were just like me you were waiting for the next SkidRow album."
Love Nirvana Grohl, Novoselic and of course Kurt!
lol, I caught so much shit from my friends. I was a skater in the 80's, so I listened to suicidal, cure, bauhaus, metallica, butthole surfers, guns and roses, ...ect.
they told me to pick one. then came the sub pop singles club, and I thought, this combines all the music together.
awesome.
punk, metal, rock, jam, new wave, glam, everything.
The Clarences love & support Nirvana & "Nevermind"!
Someone needs to come along and change it.
agree. i, as a listener, even stopped looking out for new bands and new music because it's too frustrating. there's still some real talent and good music out there, but it feels like one has to listen to 100 mediocre/bad songs to finally find one good one. that's the bad side of the internet, music kinda watered down. i much preferred to go to the record shop, listen to 5 albums and buy 1. even if it meant that i eventually had to let the big bad record industry decide what's on the shelves :)
Same here (93') and trying to make better music for us to hear. I'm told that my style is very much original, but every now and then you can hear how I've been influenced by Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and Alice in Chains. If more bands drew their influences from previous bands and made it their own, just like those bands did i.e. Nirvana, then we wouldn't have to settle for "some good new stuff".
So great bad so sad...kurt is sorely missed here.
I wish I was alive in the 90's. It seems like it was the best fucking thing ever. Long live Nirvana and R.I.P Kurt Cobain.
i love his intro.. awesome.
so agree, bakers. i am a die hard nirvana fan, but i started "backwards" after kurt's death. when nevermind was released, i only had MTV access and loved in bloom: the song, the video, everything about it, but i didn't "know" the band. after kurt's suicide/murder/passing, my cousin (a pissed of nirvana fan @ kurt's death) let me play In Utero. Dave's guide clicks and Serve the Servants changed my life forever and I moved on to music. unless you have a steady drummer - use a click track.
Indie is not a style of music or a genre.. It's like saying Soft Cover Books is a genre. It's an approach to art, to do things independently. Nirvana was an indie band for most of its existence, until they switched to DGC. Kurt says many times that those "indie" days were the best of the band's career, right before they got famous.
and that's a big deal for someone so young in this day in age. Right on :)
there's plenty of good music these days, it's just not mainstream so you have to look for it. thankfully we have services like last.fm and pandora to make it easy
yea...but its ALL the members that played on nevermind
thanks.
Cobain hated the sound of Nevermind. He thought it sounded like a Motley Crue album.
@SystemXpander Jon Stewart originally came from the alternative 90's scene, he is totally credible and hosted a show back then that had underground bands like Belly and lots more.
"it was like the Beatles had swallowed Black Flag". WOW.
im with you on that brotha segals flew north
awesome
@SystemXpander I'm guessing you're not over 25. This guy wasn't always wearing a suit and making fun of politics. I remember seeing him in a leather jacket and ripped jeans, interviewing people on MTV. Guy knows his music, and he is/was a fan of Nirvana.
Thumbs up for persistence.
Check out current independent bands. There is still so much talent out there, you just need to find it.
AwEsOmE!!!!!!!!!!
NOW/ Today everyone sounds and looks like Nirvana! They are the new play doh!
Did you hear that Dave Grohl is doing a documentary on Sound City? It is still in the works, but it is coming. You should check it out.
Oh god this made me feel fuckin old.
hell yeah dude. Old people mentality.
They rule!
nice cross fade on the pics. nice.
guess thats why Nevermind sold more has its own fucking musume in seattle. But again i dnt wanna fight its rare enough to find someone with good taist in music which u have
I'm sure there are youth who haven't been swallowed up with the rest of their peers in the mindless movement their society in general seems to be in right now. But there was so much more thought and expression in the 90's, and a lot of that took its cue from the music that permeated culture. Look at how diverse top 40 radio was back then if you need proof. Mariah Carey, Soundgarden, Hootie & The Blowfish, etc. all sharing top billing at the same time.
Do you think that would happen today?
how very insightful, you should become a columnist
asome
Can u check if you forgot to check a box that says 'make available for mobile devices' or something?
awe dude... is there a torrent of the whole interview somewhere, anyone?? Even a video?? I NEEEEED this...
I actually thought he'd be a lot worse than he was. He kind of stayed out of the way which is what you'd want for this kind of thing.
R.I.P Kurt
niiiice thanx!
"Oh My Goooooooooooooooooooooood, we change music" Shitty QUESTION....
are you serious man. you realise that just because the band isn't around does not mean that their music is not relevant anymore. if people like nickleback and shit, thats their character flaw. almost every teen i know has gone through the nirvana stage. now in terms of the mainstream, i agree. 'mainstream will never have another nirvana. but when most kids who first hear about nirvana, it inspires them to look deeper underground away from the mainstream.theres more music around then ever now
well said...
I need to hear that jam version of lithium.
thats your opinion tho thats fine and i agree the mainstream quality may not be the same, but to me great bands arnt great because of how much radio play they have. nirvanas fame is only one of the many reasons why they are interesting to me. our views on what makes music might differ, my view on the mainstream might be a bit warped compared to yours. i find it incredibly complex, but i get if you dont understand. but to say nothing is good is deluded. they just made great music for the times
@FurianPA yeah but it's only short clips
I'll go as far as to say that some songs have given me that incredible rush, but never -- never will the quantity of good albums, nor the quality ever be higher than that of the late 1960's, mid 1970's, 1981 or 85, and of course 1991. Nobody even makes their main profit off of whole albums anymore just because of the internet so idk what you mean by good albums with all the singles flying around.
Not all the band members of Nirvana.
I'm sure he was. He seemed like he could've been fine if somebody would've just treated him, and if he had allowed himself to be treated. :/
@RebelThoughts Sirius has posted it WITH video here. YEAH!!!! The name on the account is just 'sirius'
Of course, but that's a media fallacy. Like Grunge. There never was "Grunge." Nirvana was just an indie band from Olympia anyhow. The media just needs a narrative. Same thing with "indie rock" today..
I just wanted to point out though, that there are tons of brilliant independent bands around these days, maintaining the spirit of bands like Nirvana/Beat Happening etc. You just have to look harder because most learned what happens when you go major (ie: The Nirvana Model of Success/Failure)..
@RebelThoughts Yeah, that would be awesome :)
I never said that bands are good because of radio play. I just said that good music was mainstream in the 90s. It happened to get a lot of airplay. Now shit music gets the radio play. And compared to the 90s, the underground music scene today is mediocre.
Have you never heard of indie rock? When people say indie nowadays a lot of people (especially all of these swoopy haired teenagers) will think you're referring to indie rock. Its pretty damn contradicting seeing as most of these indie rock bands are signed to major labels and are complete mainstream sellouts. But anyway, I thought you were referring to indie rock, not to independent things :P
Drain You has like 6 guitar tracks lol.
shit,i just realised the first audience member to talk is from the town i live in
Nirvana...no one comes close since then.
Can you explain to me what "indie music" as a sound is?
Yeah I get what you're saying.
I barely listen to anything released after 1999. I was born in 94. Of course theres some good new stuff, but not a lot.
You aren't old enough to go to a bar... God bless your heart. Congrats, I guess.
The underground scene today does not compare to any previous decade. Not even close. How many truly great bands have come out in the last 10 years? Might be a few, but they're few. It's either disco-pop, post hardcore (i.e. pseudo punk rock) or pseudo post-punk indie music. Nothing around is actually good, it's all mediocre.
Do remember also that in the 90s, the good music was mainstream. All the great hard rock acts were culture defining, not culture defying. Where has that gone?
What do you mean? And I shouldn't have to explain it to you seeing as you know so much about it.
Wow,thanks! Just....something I said. ; )
@xxAnne81 maybe hes just an ordinary guy and all the magic really was with krist and kurt. He makes music, but I can't stand listening to it for too long. Maybe it is because he has nothing to fight for now. Maybe he should change trades and do what he is suppose to do?
