Nirvana's post show interview on August 23, 1991 at Reading Festival. Think this is all floating around in clips but some are out of sync/misplaced/etc.
Re: "Why is Kurt supposed to be hurt"? - Watch the very end of their performance from earlier in the day to see why: th-cam.com/video/Ps0ofF1j5Ag/w-d-xo.html
When you interview Kurt alone, you never know what you’re gonna get. If you’re lucky, you might get a fantastic, sincere interview. But if you interview the whole band, there is a 100% chance you are going to get a Krist Novoselic troll fest.
All you have to do is take the time beforehand to think of MORE INTERESTING QUESTIONS, and to be more EMPATHETIC with the band during the actual interview, so that if it obviously becomes a STUPID QUESTION that the band don't want to answer, you change tack and try to ask something a bit BETTER THOUGHT-OUT that they might actually WANT to answer.....
@@colinluckens9591 I’m amazed looking through these Nirvana interviews at how insanely stupid the interviewers’ questions are! 100% of the questions are superficial and borderline insulting I can see why Kurt was always so annoyed.
pretty stupid cliche questions though the guy kind of deserved it. guess there wasnt much info out for him to study before hand but still. they literally asked if the other guy could interview them, I love these interviews with them I kind of just recently rediscovered these
@@redplague yeah wouldnt want to learn anything from hearing someone talk about things that are new to us... listening to interviews is a great way to find new bands/movies/books etc
@@bardotons Well each to their own I guess. Personally I'd rather them answer the question that's asked rather than him going off at a tangent babbling.
It was against school policy but so many people would say that their hero just died & they don't care anymore that they stopped enforcing it. Not at all, I realize, unlike the transagenda victims threatening to off themselves if they didn't get to wear what they wanted.
@@Errcyco I would take that as a compliment? He was always gorgeous in my eyes. Im sure you have been called worse? The fact he didn't even know it makes him so much more attractive. 😊
@@xtreme-321 very sad in a way, from here it went downhill.. from what I've read, this was the period where Kurt was the most happy with life and the band, touring with Sonic Youth, just recorded a brilliant album, but once it blew up far bigger then anyone expected, things got weird
@@breathingunderwater3094 not true, many bands at this time had as great or better songs and were as tight or better. to get as big as nirvana is pure luck.
Crazy to think about how these 3 disinterested goobers were about 2 months away from blowing up, becoming the biggest band in the world, becoming millionaires, and having the trajectory of their lives changed forever.
@@toxicswim8110 I know..i was just being an ass... I just am amazed how some people actually think he's got more talent than the late great KURT COBAIN... BOTH HOLD TALENT BEYOND NORMAL MAN..BUT IN NO WAY IS HE ABOVE KURT ON MY SCALE...
@@joejackson8832 yeah Same Kurt was the singer and he invented the biggest Grunge Band in the World and looking where he came from (aberdeen) to a 50 Dollar Millionär that's a Bug achievment so yeah Kurt is better then dave but noone sucks
Yeah agreed- once he had it, he realized he kind of hated it and didn’t want it anymore. He was always a guy full of contradictions anyway It could also be that he wanted to be bigger just so he could share his music with a larger audience, but he didn’t actually care about the fame just reaching more people
He knew how good they were, the fame was just a matter for people to come to their senses but he couldn't have imagined the severity of what fame brought, fuck it tho Nirvana is eternal
Just turned 62 a couple months ago. If it weren't for living through a plague this summer, I'd be at every show & festival I could get to. Instead, I bought big speaker's so I can rock out at home.
in this interview it seems like dave and kurt were opposites in personality. Dave is polite and fairly engaged when he speaks, whereas Kurt for the most part is only sarcastic and condescending. they also don't look at each other much, even though Kurt looks at Krist all the time. This interview makes me suspect that there was tension between Kurt and Dave, and that Krist was the glue holding them all together. There are a few points when Kurt and Krist are having a "moment" and Dave looks away or has a dark look on his face. Kurt may have been slow to warm up to Dave and treat him the same as Krist. Keep in mind that at the time of this interview Kurt had known Krist for about 6 years and had already gone through handfuls of band members together with him, and had known Dave for only a year (maybe less).
@@portlandgoose4727 that's true. Kurt and Krist were close people but that doesn't make me sorry for Dave. I like them all, they were great as a band. I believe, later both Dave and Krist didn't feel so related to Kurt because of Courtney and drugs. They just were tired of that. I think they still feel sorry for that.
No kidding. If I had to listen to some clueless moron drone on about the band name and ask the same stupid questions all day long I'd want to kill myself too.
@@H3nrySwans0n Yeah you said it!!🙄🙄🙄.....if you ask a question and the band obviously doesn't want to pick up on it, you MOVE ON and try to ask a MORE INTERESTING QUESTION.....
So genuine. No eagerness to please the interviewer, just having fun, not a care in the world what this could/would do for their career. Beautiful. Pistols were like this, Rotten, early Oasis.
Every time I watch a Dave Grohl Nirvana interview I can't help but watch how Dave is mimicking an introvert, knowing how funny and extroverted he really is. I assume it's because he feels how Kurt and Krist run so deep that they have a silent bond, and Dave joined "late". Just what I read from looking at his body language and hesitation to speak, whereas Kurt and Krist seem so exempt from hesitation or fear of not being heard/understood. Perhaps Dave just trying to mimic their personalities in respect of the pecking order. Fascinates me.
You hit it right on the nail. He just really cared about what Kurt and krist thought about him especially Kurt you know he was thrid in command but he still took that band to another level they wouldn’t be the same without him idc what anybody says
@@kevenrowe2958 Yeah absolutely. Also just thinking how much constant interview questions about "how did you meet" "how did you come up with the name?" etc would be a constant reminder to Dave that he's not an original member, but of course he went on to fully state his place and help elevate the band massively.
I just feel like he was shy when he was younger, he had a lot of time to get used to the spotlight from the late 80’s to now. People change and they grow
Well, not even two years later he was done with all that and wanted different things. To go a different direction musically..was done with his marriage, getting his legal affairs in order without Courtney and flying east but he didn't live long enough to do it.
It’s a little heartbreaking to see how happy Kurt was at one stage, but it’s nice that interviews like this are around, from before he felt like he was under the microscope with a target on his back
When you get an interviewer who asks such inane questions, it actually brings out a very interesting side to the band. It's like their answers need have no relation to his questions and they just freeflow stuff out of their minds. Makes for a particularly unique and intersting interview in the end.
i think it's one of the most hilarious nirvana interviews i've seen, if not the most. Three geniuses, and Chris a real comedian, how nice, he has led the entire interview, I have not stopped laughing, Kurt was also doing badly with laughter because of the giant bassist goblin. Thank you very much for sharing.

Man, was a great time to be a teenager. Great time. A few great great bands through 80s and 90s. Have any new bands after the 90s released more than 1 or 2 albums? And I mean bands, not someone/group rhyming poetry to a beat without a single instrument.

Nah. It's something that he does. Still does today. I have really long hair & I have a few things I do with my hair numerous times a day. I just wish I could have met DG back then.
I WAS CRACKING UP THE WHOLE TIME WATCHING THIS & THE WAY KURT & KRIST REACT & THEIR INSIDE JOKES...😉👍 LOVE SEEING KURT CARE FREE & HAPPY!! R.I.P. KURT MISS YOU EVERY DAY...💕😢🎸🎵🎶
Serve the servants, school, sifting, about a girl, dive, scentless apprentice and floyd the barber are all basically unknown songs to people just getting into them or to the outside viewer but these are some of my favorites. You should listen if you already love them!
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG interview. Nirvana is the coolest band ever, no other band's interview can come close to how cool this is. This is it, the coolest interview by a band of all time. Take notes, young aspiring bands.
I said the same things as those who never seen Nirvana at 21 years old about the doors and beatles then i figured i drown my sorrows by seeing AIC, Nirvana, STP, Pearl Jam, etc in the early 90s to forget about it all. Imagine the stories you will tell younger generations about the "Idols" you seen when you were wishing to see nirvana.
All these people in the background paying no attention have no idea theres a literal ROCK GOD & pop culture folk hero sitting there getting interviewed 😂
One month after this interview they released Nevermind. I bet at this point they already recorded the album. And could never expect what was waiting for them.
@Nexus Six Except that in 2020 Krist thanked Trump for using troops on protestors. So,his political views are not the same as the two guys who made him wealthy.
@Nexus Six In case you didn't know..that quote of Krist has on the internet turned into Kurt saying "Donald Trump would make a great president instead of politicians". Google that. Nirvana's manager even answered that Trump is the antithesis of everything Kurt Cobain stood for. So,we must shine a light on Novoselic now,to end that lie.
Krist is a true legend. He's so smart but also hugely witty. He obviously sees deeply through how corrupt and broken the system is around him and others and uses his wit to expose and communicate that so well. All 3 had a great bond with each other. Dave is kind of learning the ropes and hence is happy to hang back , while Kurt perfectly adds to the mix and provides excellent unpredictable humorous interludes. Respect to all 3 as they definitely wanted to prove they don't really care about fame nor fortune and to me they carry on with the ethos of Hawkwind of being a people's band. Something very few bands ever achieved and held onto.
For all his goofiness, Krist is a super-intelligent dude. He threw so much crazy energy into Nirvana, but also gave really thoughtful insights into their approach in interviews.
In all their interviews it seems like they were very annoyed answering questions about details that could be left for interpretation. It was probably a requirement to do it, nothing they would do by choice.
@@sethp1624 Exactly. Like, I can tell you what my song means to me, but I'd rather hear what you have to say and what you think this line is about and so on
Seth, they chose to do it... it’s called selling out... all good, but maybe kirt could haved enjoyed the perks, Instead of pretending to be so anti. They went corporate commercial. $$$$ Big bucks... kert suffered from Imposter Syndrome. Just admit it Ted.
That's because he saw the world for what it is. Money means nothing. Success is determined by other's. Self gratification is determined by your own heart and soul.
@@StuartFuckingLittle Then, by your logic, Nirvana's success was not their own. Money allows for freedom - just ask the folks living on the edge of poverty in Aberdeen, WA. And the DELAY of gratification is how one develops to find greater achievement.
they didn’t hate the media, and having a sense of humor is not trolling like johnny rotten could be argued of doing. you are just projecting your own wishes.

so great that new full uncut videos like this are still turning up...every one gives us another glimpse into the genius. Thank you!
I like the ambience background sound, makes you feel like you were there
I WAS CRACKING UP THE WHOLE TIME WATCHING THIS & THE WAY KURT & KRIST REACT & THEIR INSIDE JOKES...😉👍
LOVE SEEING KURT CARE FREE & HAPPY!!
R.I.P. KURT MISS YOU EVERY DAY...💕😢🎸🎵🎶
😊😊😊
Miss a guy you never knew? Ok.
@ropey bird uh. No
I just became a nirvana fan, like today and I heard Kurts voice like the second he opened his mouth I fell in love
Serve the servants, school, sifting, about a girl, dive, scentless apprentice and floyd the barber are all basically unknown songs to people just getting into them or to the outside viewer but these are some of my favorites. You should listen if you already love them!
lol hes dead
@@shid6930 ikr hehe
HARRRRY AND KURT
Just listen to everything
.... It eon take long to do.
hey krist is wearing a dinosaur jr shirt
Duh
"It will be he household word in no time” -kurt
Well he was painfully correct
And Still! All these years later. My 10 year old loves Nirvana.
drink a glass of water every time kurt says “oh i’m supposed to be hurt”. you will be hydrated
"Oh, I'm supposed to be hurt!"
Any backstory on why he was faking his injury?
@@codygee9341 I think he had an accident, but it healed and he wanted to still wear a sling for a laugh.
Oh I'm supposed to be kurt
@@codygee9341 after the end of the show kurt jumped on the drum set
Nothing more comforting than watching a nirvana interview in the early days while rolling a joint
Best part of nirvana is that they are real on camera
"It will be a household word in no time."
How right Kurt was...
I like krist’s long hair
yeah it suited him better
Lautaro Lencina aww, that’s a little sad for Krist. You shouldn’t say this joke because it can come off offensive
Lautaro Lencina yeah tru
Looks like jades boyfriend in victorious
may vana omg I searched it and he actually does! 😂
I can really tell they were thrilled to do this interview.
Dave is so beautiful
🤣🤣🤣
@Casey storen, I agree. Whether yesterday or today. I just wish I could have met DG back then. I would have rocked his world. Still would...
Personally, I believe he's not attractive in the slightest.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Especially that fkd up jaw and that he belches in EVERY interview I've watched with him.
without Krist Nirvana interviews would have been 95% silence
AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG interview. Nirvana is the coolest band ever, no other band's interview can come close to how cool this is. This is it, the coolest interview by a band of all time. Take notes, young aspiring bands.
If they take notes then they will just imitate... and pose... and continue being lame.
@@pjrosello well I'd like to think some young band would write down in their notes "emmanuel lewis has the most amazing vocabulary"
I said the same things as those who never seen Nirvana at 21 years old about the doors and beatles then i figured i drown my sorrows by seeing AIC, Nirvana, STP, Pearl Jam, etc in the early 90s to forget about it all.
Imagine the stories you will tell younger generations about the "Idols" you seen when you were wishing to see nirvana.
Because they are natural and not full of shit.
"Did you know it is illegal to smoke a flower..." 🤣😂
14:14 "Sit down. Sit down! Sit on the floor!"
Idk why but the way Kurt said that was funny
11:43 is so fucking funny, and the way the interviewer just says “..ok” after all of that
Watching a nirvana interview is so uncomfortable lmaooo
@Mara L why?
Mara L why they’re literally all best friends and love messing with the media
Cuz Kurt’s dead ^
And Dave is loud now
Also Krist isn’t lively anymore
All these people in the background paying no attention have no idea theres a literal ROCK GOD & pop culture folk hero sitting there getting interviewed 😂
Interviewer: “How does it compare to smaller gigs?”
Dave: “To smaller gigs?”
Interview: “Yea”
Dave: “There’s a lot more people”
Lmaooooo
One month after this interview they released Nevermind. I bet at this point they already recorded the album. And could never expect what was waiting for them.
marijuana has done more for my memory than i can remember- Krist Novasellic
8:20 awww
"What if Donald Trump wrote good songs? You wouldn't listen to em? You know, I think I'd listen to em." - Krist Novoselic 10:15
Kurt: Hahahahaha
Back then even IRON MIKE was cool with Trump
And look at the faces of Grohl and Cobain when he said that. They didn't agree did they?
Its like finding out one of the Beatles liked Hitler.
@Nexus Six Except that in 2020 Krist thanked Trump for using troops on protestors. So,his political views are not the same as the two guys who made him wealthy.
@Nexus Six In case you didn't know..that quote of Krist has on the internet turned into Kurt saying "Donald Trump would make a great president instead of politicians". Google that. Nirvana's manager even answered that Trump is the antithesis of everything Kurt Cobain stood for.
So,we must shine a light on Novoselic now,to end that lie.
“Punk is just money”
Dave was the little brother for sure
@@grahamjarman 75% man
Kurt before success, fatherhood and courtney.
Courtney ruined him
Heroin*
He was with her at this time and they literally just had their daughter
@@jackjack3722 No, Frances was born in 1992.
@@Nina-ki4ye It was Kurt's choice to leave Tracy Mirander. She cared for him like a mother.
Dave wanted to be big, krist wanted to have fun, kurt just wanted to play music
Krist is a true legend. He's so smart but also hugely witty. He obviously sees deeply through how corrupt and broken the system is around him and others and uses his wit to expose and communicate that so well. All 3 had a great bond with each other. Dave is kind of learning the ropes and hence is happy to hang back , while Kurt perfectly adds to the mix and provides excellent unpredictable humorous interludes.
Respect to all 3 as they definitely wanted to prove they don't really care about fame nor fortune and to me they carry on with the ethos of Hawkwind of being a people's band. Something very few bands ever achieved and held onto.
For all his goofiness, Krist is a super-intelligent dude. He threw so much crazy energy into Nirvana, but also gave really thoughtful insights into their approach in interviews.
Everyone involved looks fed up with this interview
In all their interviews it seems like they were very annoyed answering questions about details that could be left for interpretation. It was probably a requirement to do it, nothing they would do by choice.
@@sethp1624 Exactly. Like, I can tell you what my song means to me, but I'd rather hear what you have to say and what you think this line is about and so on
People want to know and define everything when you should just let art be.
It was part of the style at the time. You were obliged to get annoyed at the interviewer.
Seth, they chose to do it... it’s called selling out... all good, but maybe kirt could haved enjoyed the perks, Instead of pretending to be so anti. They went corporate commercial. $$$$ Big bucks... kert suffered from Imposter Syndrome. Just admit it Ted.
Dave lighting Kurts joint seemed so wholesome ❤️
1:04 "EVERYONE KNOWS PUNK ITS JUST MONEY" hahaha Kurt and Krist were like WTF are you talkin....
Some _really_ rare laughs from Kurt in this video.
Kurts Goofy side is often overlooked
I love how the money from the scholarship meant nothing to kurt, he just shrugs off the fact he could've had a couple extra thousand
The fact that he dropped out of high school two weeks before graduation is hilarious
That's because he saw the world for what it is. Money means nothing. Success is determined by other's. Self gratification is determined by your own heart and soul.
@@Danjoker. Pathetic, actually.
@@StuartFuckingLittle Then, by your logic, Nirvana's success was not their own.
Money allows for freedom - just ask the folks living on the edge of poverty in Aberdeen, WA. And the DELAY of gratification is how one develops to find greater achievement.
@@NickNicometi You could have all the money in the world, but if you have no talent won’t get anywhere.
I love how they trolled and hated the media. And for good reason!
they didn’t hate the media, and having a sense of humor is not trolling like johnny rotten could be argued of doing. you are just projecting your own wishes.
And now all their shirts and hoodies are sold at Walmart and Target worn by girls who only knows Smells like Teen Spirit…
6:30 Dave looks at Kurt like thanks bro you're right man fuck this mainstream shit I just wanna drinks beer and talk music
