when kurt died it looks like he took krists happiness with him
+Travis Moyer r u stupid
+none business You just cannot fake how sad he is. Even if Kurt was murdered, Krist had no part in it. You can see how hard he took. How the light in his eyes is no longer present, how he doesn't talk as much. During interviews he's so quiet. How can you not see the pain he's going though? He'll never be the same again.
+none business Your Pathetic.
+WillsATMOsphere Honestly, he's pretty much saying it's your fault he died. Can you imagine being told its all your fault that your bestfriend killed himself? After feeling like you failed as a friend.
+Crystal Winchester you are stupid. he is supporting the person who murdered kurt. he knows he was murdered and by whom and he puts on a chirade, what is wrong with you to see so much other moronic sort of interpretation of reality. if he knows he was killed, and he does and yet he supports a suicide mythology, then you really cant say he has no part in it. he is proactively colluding with the murderers. he is not sad about kurt's death. i can tell. he couldn't care less. i can tell. he has zero pain associated with the loss of kurt. i can tell. to imagine anything else is so odd. krist novoselic is a horror show to the 10th degree. a horror show, supporting the murderers after kurt made him so rich and famous, a horror show. they were even related through marriage, a horror show.
"He just shouldn't have done that."
***** I feel as if his suicide was inevitable...but could you give me a link to the interview?
+Mário Costa gonna need some proof. everything that points to homicide is circumstantial....
+JimmyBean456 Thank god I'm not american, because that dumb argument that even idiots are entitled to their opinion, it suits you better than me. You and David Brink are the average american that think Armstrong went to the Moon, the russians are still the evil empire and you guys are all the earth saviors. You both are the average american that eats everything the media gives you, believes in anything that one can say, without confirming the sources of the information.
It is moronic from you, specially you Jimmy Bean, if you are american, you should know that IN AMERICA homicides can be pointed FROM CIRCUNSTANCIAL PROOFS....in America!!!!
This proves that, altough I'm not american, it seems that I know better than you...
Now you will say that you're not american...buy hey, you brought the "that's the great thing about America, even idiots are entitled to their opinion" thing, so, good luck douche lol :) joking
+Wier Do That's a point but they both said several times they were naive, they were just youngsters enjoying their music and the fame, the pressure was all on Kurt. I remember reading or hearing somewhere that Krist was all "wooow" when he read something incorrect or wrong about him and Kurt was like "yeah...if you read all they write about ME, you'll know what is to be underpressure".
I'm saying this because Krist and Dave were so young and far from notice anything wrong, SUICIDE or NOT, MURDER or NOT.
If we read and get all the facts from the right sources, not the "hearsay" or gossips on pink magazines, you will realize that everything will point to murder.
See "Soaked in Bleach" , with testemony of many specialists in many areas of investigation and check what they say about this case. I don't believe "Montage of Heck" has any cientific explanation for the suicide theory, since they put out of the context many documented stuff about Kurt Cobain.
+nathalie gene I agree with you.
I feel so sorry for krist, he lost his best friend and I don't think he's ever got over it.
TheHennessy1989 you don't
He also lost his hair......
@@anthonyclevenger8248 you are a f#cking tool. End of story
@@anthonyclevenger8248 i thought your comment about Krist losing his hair was moronic but you topped that real quick. Well done
@@anthonyclevenger8248 how old are you even?
That left-handed guitar bit broke my fucking heart. I wish I could hug Krist.
ur so daft. he knew he was murdered n spent 22 years lying about what he knew and supported his murderers. do u still feel like choking up over his left handed guitar story?
Do you feel you can fool the world forever Allan?
Me too. Especially when he would think 'oh I don't need to do that anymore' 😢
same
You need a doctor
I think I've seen someone quoted this,"Krist used to be outgoing and talkative, ever since Kurt died, he has been quiet."
he very voiciferously supported the suicide mythology for over 20 years. he always knew kurt was murdered but supported the murderers. he was bought.
Unfortunately you're brainwashed by the media and are to naive and gullible to think for yourself.
thanks courtney for your meaningful input
when some on you love just dies randomly, it changes you forever.
sadly i have to read your opinion.
"Four years after Kurt died I had this hot of this habit of like i'd walked by a pawn shop and i'd look in the window and i also looked for a left-handed guitar, they're like "oh i don't need to do that anymore !" that hurts me so much....
It's 'for years' not 'four years' ;)
How in the hell does that hurt YOU?? Lol.
@@1w598 it's called empathy.
That was rough to listen to and ponder.
@@robmanson6210 Sometimes people pretend but sometimes people are empathetic for genuine reasons. We all have different experiences of life which reflects on how we feel towards other matters in life. That's why it's best to not assume this kind of stuff.
You can honestly see that is a man who lost a friend to suicide and still hurts over it and probably thinks he could of done something to stop it. He is still hurting
ikr?! it's like he wants to change this fact if he could! in denial
+Ray Shifflett krist looks like really honest, transparent and humble person. I think he and Kurt were best friends, krist always was taking care of him
+Ray Shifflett it doesn't hurt him. it was too long ago. we don't even know if it ever hurt him. and he is a lier. he knows as well as anyone that kurt was killed but actively supports Courtney's murderous lies and propaganda. I understand he is afraid, but at least dave grohl keeps his mouth shut, even though he doesn't talk about what he knows about kurts last months, but he doesn't actively proport and obvious murderous lie. bullshit he is in denial. he is very exacting and supporting murderous lies. now frances bean, she is in denial and will always stay there. it is too much for her to ever accept that her mother killed her father.
+none business here we go againnn
***** there is a book where explains Tom Grant day by day all Courtney know when she hired him. In fact, she already knew that Cobain was in his house in Seattle but she pretended not to Know... In case she could be suspicious
He's so underrated, if there was no Krist there wouldn't be Nirvana for sure. Him and Kurt were great friends before Nirvana, not just band mates, and that's why it worked. I'm so sad 'cause it ended that way. Sorry for my bad English. Krist ako citas ovo, volim te, pozdrav iz Hrvatske!
Klaüs Smooth Your English is good and that was well said.
No doubt. The friendship was important but his bass technique & the way he setup his amp & effects loop were even more essential to how Nirvana sounded. You can tell a Nirvana song just by his bass. I hate how low his bass was mixed on In Utero, Steve Albini screwed the pooch on that one!
Klaüs Smooth Ja sam isto iz Hrvatske! 🇭🇷
Underrrated how? He didn’t write any songs. Kurt even complained that he could write songs if he worked harder. He’s a good base player but they are a dime a dozen.
LDS77 your tripping.....you dont get to that level with a 3 piece band if the bass player is a dime a dozen sorry
I can tell Krist really loved Kurt, whether he committed suicide or was murdered, he is dead, truly one of the biggest losses ever
+pizzathehut316 Layne staley, John Lennon, andrew wood, there's a lot of guys that were big losses too...
Chris Cornell.
You wouldn let person kill himself if you love him, right? Also Kurt made him rich and to be part of greatest band after Beatles and on last tour he tried to kill himsself few times. Do you think now that he loved him so much? More like that he suffer because he didnt do anything to save him from himself and he know that he is guilty for his death more than anyoneelse...Because frinds take care of each other, right?
Vilim bubaš Wrong,you can't force no one to get help,especially if the person dosen't want help (sad but truth). And Kurt dosen't made him rich....Krist was also part of Nirvana. It was his life to,so he deserve his part (more than Courtney for sure). People can be your friends but you own nobody.
People are framing Courtney because she is naturally unlikable. With kurts childhood its understandable why he chose her. He's like him, but not as humble or talented.
Krist is so underrated
+Par Ker I think they mean in Nirvana. Most people like to focus on Dave and Kurt.
I guess sometimes it's better to be underrated.....
He is just too modest I think
Please stop it with this nonsense about him being Underrated!!
@@paulph12002 i hear you.
i can totally feel krist when he says "he just shouldnt of done that" something thats all you can say about it
Also he can admit that he carry guilt to let Kurt kill himself!!! Or he can carry guilt rest of his life and judge him: he shouldn done that. Very poor from Krist
Yeah that part hits like a gut punch
"she"
@@vilimbubas1302 Come on , Man . Chill. Krist was his friend . Saying he should not have done that is not wrong , He wants he friend alive . Why would you think he would say "he should have done that ." ? He would never say that and it is in poor taste to think he would but thats your take . Good lord .
@@vilimbubas1302 Wtf? Lol. Weirdo
When he says " He just shouldn't have done that " You can feel Krist's pain, he is truly a great person. Kurt's death must have heavily affected him .
He's a normal guy like Kurt was. Grohl sold his soul. Dodgy guy. He knows the truth.
@@AnonYmous-ez4es oh and Krist hasn't sold his? He's in the political world now, if you didn't know. Just as "dodgy" as you claim Grohl to be, if not more, by that logic
@@kai326 he's a nobody with no influence. Grohl is a yes man that never gets any bad press because he's selling you shit like the vaccine.
You should hear about his last moment with Kurt. Poor Kris
👎👎
When he says ‘he could have done anything he wanted to do’ that’s the sign of a real true friend. He didn’t wanna just force Kurt to continue on the musical path if it ultimately made him unhappy, even at his own expense. He just wanted his friend to find peace and happiness. Bless you Krist.
I don't really know how to word this without stating the obivious, but Krist has never really been the same after Kurts death. I'm not saying Dave has moved on, but Krist in every single video or interview you come across, he just looks just so so sad. Of course it had an impact on him, but you can tell that since his death he hasn't come close to finding any comfort whatsoever, its terrible.
That's EXACTLY what I've thought as well, ever since I first saw an interview with a (then-)present day Krist back in 2003. You can tell that Kurt's death had a profound and traumatic effect on him (understandably). I think Krist was much closer to Kurt than Dave ever was anyway, just because he had known Kurt for longer. My heart always goes out to the poor guy. :-/
***** oh no of course, I get that. Krist and Kurt were the founders of Nirvana, Krist knew Kurt twice as long as he Dave did. But to lose somebody in such a tragic way would still have a devastating effect on somebody. As you said, not taking anything away from Dave but Krist doesn't seem to have a fragment of comfort as Dave has. I wonder if its because Dave has continued with music. Perhaps that has taken his mind off things more.
babyshambles93 I noticed that as well. Before he used to be this goofball and somewhat detached cool guy. More he seems a lot more serious, quiet and sad
babyshambles93 Yeah I noticed that too. But I think with Dave it was more of a professional relationship. Krist and Kurt grew up together, went to the same school, were friends before Nirvana. It was very personal with him I imagine.
You know, Krist and Kurt practically grew up together
I think Kurt and Krist had a very close and different relationship compared to everyone else. Krist and Kurt built a bond when they both had nothing.
Makes me grieve all the more. Yes.
The bit about the left handed guitar in the pawn shop was heartbreaking
so true
I can feel the heartbreak when he says "he could have done anything he wanted to do. He could have been a painter, or a sculptor." That's his friend. He doesn't give a rats butt about keeping the Nirvana machine going if it meant his friend was still here.
Yeah... ;-(
At the end of the day, this is simply a man who misses his friend.
To understand Kurt Cobain, please listen to the people who knew him personally, love him and speak respectfully about him, such as Krist in this video clip.
Musical One Very well said
Musical One there’s no point stating the obvious. That’s why all of us are here in the first place.
You bet, Captain Obvious!! 🙄
Do you really have to tell the people who are watching Krist talk in this video to watch Krist talk in this video? Pretty dumb.
I wrote the comment when I shared this video in a post on my personal Google+ page. It was not intended for TH-cam, however, Google automatically posted G+ comments on TH-cam when the two social media platforms were connected.
Say what you want about Nirvana and Kurt Cobain and how they were musically, but Kurt Cobain spoke to a generation of people that not too many bands were able to do before or after Nirvana.
+Jay Bird I feel the exact same way
your face sucks says the one who listens to imagine dragons and skillet...
So you needed Nirvana to realize that you are a robot? Damn i realize that first day i started to work for others way before i have listen Nirvana. That tells me a lot how you think, you dont think you follow orders ROBOT
The irony is that Cobain himself admitted his lyrics were just stream of consciousness gibberish that he would sometimes have to throw together the night before a recording session. The idea that Nirvana "spoke for a generation" is delusional mythology. Kurt was terminally lost. He had no direction to give and had nothing to share with the world other than the howls of his own personal pain.
Stop with the criticism of Nirvana’s talent. If you don’t respect the talent of Kurt’s songwriting ability than try doing it yourself. See how easy it is to create a good song. Maybe he wasn’t the best guitarist but who gives a rats ass?
My band opened for Nirvana on the Bleach tour back in '90. They hung out with us and talked after the gig. I'm 6'4" and remember having to look UP at Krist. Very nice guy. Don't remember a whole lot about Kurt - quiet/shy. One of my drums smacked his Mustang during our set and I felt HORRIBLE. I kept apologizing and he just laughed. So very sad he is gone.
i've read heavier than heaven and by what i learned from that biography i think krist had to be more destroyed by kurt's death than anyone else kurt knew. the first time kurt and krist jammed in their teens they became a duo that lasted up until kurt's death. around each other almost 24/7 for years and years and then one day kurt was gone forever.
i admire krist for being able to do this interview in the manner that he does.
Good point, so painful...devastating, yet he holds firm grip of hope, faith and respect, most of all for Kurt, his true friend.
Honestly I think Kurt might’ve done it much sooner if it wasn’t for someone like Kirst. I’m sure leaving Krist and Francis was probably the hardest decision he ever had to make, you can tell Kurt had genuine love for them and he knew how much it would leave a hole in their lives once he was gone.
@@gothickay9889 if I was going to commit suicide I certainly wouldn't use a shotgun with birdshot. Nor would I shoot myself in the eyes. I would put the gun in my mouth. The risk of infinitely painful trauma and permanent disfigurement (rather than death) is too high.
Cobain didn't kill himself.
I just adore Krist Novaselic. He's a beautiful human being. We need more like him.
"I don't have to do that anymore" man I can just feel krist's pain
Krist was the best person in Kurt's life. The only one who really cared throughout. Forget his parents and definitely forget Courtney!
+1ranjeeves21 if he cares so much why is he lying about kurt having been murdered by courtney
David Anderson Because he's not an idiot like some people....
he knew kurt was murdered. knew, and yet he supported the murderers all these years, even persisted in supporting the suicide mythology even after soaked in bleach came out and it was made plain the courtney killed kurt, he still supported the suicide mythology. why? can you ask yourself why he would support the concept that kurt killed himself when he knew many particulars of kurt's life and knew he was NOT suicidal. why did he keep proporting that kurt killed himself when he KNEW he was killed. reason is: he as bought by courtney just like she bought the seattle police. he was bought to promote the lie that kurt killed himself. so krist was NOT the best person in his life, in fact i would say that based on their relationship: classmates, bandmates, friend and relative, krist would be a really bad evil person who betrayed the person responsible for enriching his life the most. in a sense he participated in the cover of the murder even if he didn't have a hand in it's planning or execution. he participated in misinforming the public. so i would say he is not the best person and he didn't really care about kurt throughout. pretty simple really. pretty simple
EVERYONE who has seen Kurt and Courtney knows that El Duce is the true victim! How can you live with yourself knowing that you are perpetuating this story when you know that El Duce hasn't received justice!? All for a handful of drachma!
+none business pretty simple, like your comment. Simply stupid.
what a loyal, sincere and solid friend Krist is to Kurt. He sincerely loved him and never capitalizes on his friendship with Kurt. He is as authentic as it gets. Love him.
I feel so bad. Krist is a fucking legend and to see his pain is rotten
"He should have stuck around. I don't know, he just shouldn't have done that. He could've done anything he wanted to do." - I just wanted to hug the guy right there in the vid.
Kris novoselic looks like a real friend of Kurt and a good guy in general, fucking i was a freak for Nirvana back in the days still listen to them now
Kris and Kurt grew up together since middle school I believe
+Kevin Neal *high school. Kurt saw krist and gave first gave him the Fecal Matter tape in high school in Aberdeen
+Kevin Neal No, they met in high school in 1987
If I had to bring anyone back, it would be Kurt.
courtney did it
th-cam.com/video/in-BUrAmO6g/w-d-xo.html
I agree
I dont need Superman be back, I need Kurt be back ;-(
I'm not sure he would like the misogyny of hip hop but he would probably like the music and I have no idea where he would be in the culture wars since he was both progressive and anti establishment
He wrights ten songs on it, loves the guitar...
Then smashes it.
Lexie Jane Moore This is a youtube comment section, not english class. Shut up.
Lexie Jane Moore *wrights
Nah, those were the ones lended to him by Fender.
He didn't smash every guitar, he had a few problems with being electrocuted by his guitar, anps and microphone. Look into this problem. It was a know issue several bands had this incidents.
If you’re a rockstar you’re supposed to smash guitars. Any more questions?
the moment Krist said "he shouldnt have done that, he could have been anything he wanted" i just started crying because from that you can feel how much he loved Kurt and how much he misses him and wanted the best for him. its just so sad to lose a best friend like this, i love you Krist!
So much anger and hostility in the comments section. Have you no respect? Krist is sharing deeply personal and touching memories and thoughts about a friend lost far too soon. Such snide comments - do you realize how hard it is to open up about a loss that profound? Nirvana was huge before Kurt's death, as was Hendrix, Jim Morrison. His death was a tragedy - like the others, he was a voice of a generation. I can name songs from many artists living and dead with LESS complexity than the "typical" Nirvana song, and yet they are considered timeless classics showcasing musical genius. The man could play pretty, if that had been what he was trying to express. Heck, I can play most scales at fairly blistering speeds, but I stumble when it comes to a real song. I still can't quite nail down "About a Girl."
We see him through the lens of fame. Krist sees Kurt as a friend that he grew up with, shared both good times and bad, and lost from an event sudden and terrible.
Thank you, Mr. Novoselic, for sharing a side of a man that changed the course of history, that has grown to be something of myth. You remind us that Kurt was human, like the rest of us. I would rather Kurt be alive today and faded into obscurity than to see such pain in a man's eyes. I've lost friends too - I think most of us have. Imagine for just one second. What if Kurt Cobain had been YOUR best friend?
They judge out of sheer, unadulterated jealousy. It's as simple as that. Kurt's music was so innovative at the time of it's release that Nirvana basically became an overnight sensation. Kurt's ability for writing lyrics gained him the title as one of the greatest lyricist of ALL time, but it wasn't all about that. Kurt had the ability to reach others through common grounds. He sang about what we all felt at that point in time in our lives and unlike bands nowadays, Nirvana was truly genuine. Nirvana always displayed that pure 90's essence live on stage, and truth be told, no other band around sounds as good as Nirvana did live. Unlike bands these days, all Nirvana had to do to gain attention was show up on stage and perform. What's so damn unique about "musicians" from these days? Will Beiber run into another sliding door? Will Gaga show up in a dress made from road kill? Will Imagine Dragons pretend to be more hardcore than what the little pansies really are? What a sad, sad lineup of musicians.
No one is being rude in the comments. I hate people like you.
Geoffrey P. So it is true. Suicide is a selfish act. Maybe choosing to live in order to save others from the pain of losing you is the best reason to continue living. It may be a fact that depression is perhaps long, but it is a temporary condition. Death is forever. Stopping to consider the pain you will inflict on your loved ones shows empathy. It is truly sad and unfortunate that depression causes such selfishness. To deprive your loved ones of your presence in their lives forever without even asking their opinion shows the lengths to which depression takes control of the functioning of the brain and the depths to which that despair drives the sufferer, clouding judgement, empathy and reason. Is there art in depression influenced music? Or is it just an expression of profound sadness? Why do people not pay the requisite attention to this factor in the lives of those close to them?
@Walter Mrak Spoken like someone who has never suffered from mental illness. When you’re that low, you can’t think about things like that, you cannot imagine that things will ever get better. You only want a way out of the pain for good.
I can't see any anger and or hostility in the comment section. WTF are you even on about? Projecting much? You're the one who is potentially creating hostility and anger in people who read your comment because you're an attention seeker. Fuck you.
Krist is such an interesting guy. It's a shame he's only ever asked about Kurt. I'd like to hear more about him
Such a sad and real expression from Krist, who knew Kurt far better than most. Great vid.
He should only confess that he didnt care about Kurt a lot, because frends take care of each other
Vilim bubaš you clearly have no grasp of a depressed, suicidal drug addict. There is nothing anybody can do to help them, if they get better that is completely up to them.
It's been 27 years and every single day of those years he must have been deeply mourning the loss of his friend. That must be unimaginably tough.
And by now, about 30 years past in April 05, 2022...Tragic, traumatic, sorrowful, excruciating...
I guess Kurt didn't realize how many hearts he would break.
Regina Marks I guess Courtney didn’t realize how many hearts she would break
DavEyOne SlimObi Right? There are practice sheets found in Courtney’s purse trying to replicate Kurt’s handwriting. It was physically impossible for Kurt to move a shotgun and pull the trigger, yet people believe the media like sheep.
@@daveyoneslimobi4525 I feel bad for you, can't accept that he killed himself then you prefer to invent and believe in those bullshit because it's the easy thing to do, it's hard to accept it, it's heartbreaking, then you rather to blame someone else, shame.
He got murder
@Diana Moore ''saw a comment from a guy saying he would take enough heroine to kill 2 horses and then go to work.'' How much is that, exactly? How much does a horse weigh, again? Oh, well that disproves everything then.. A random guy on YT's obv BS vs actual evidence.. sounds legit
Don't forget people, out of all the members in nirvana Krist knew kurt the longest. Before dave, before pat, before chad and all of them. You can tell he isn't over it and honestly it just hurts to still see him broken. He lost his best friend.
I'm devastated by his death but I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be Krist or Dave. Losing not only a best friend, but a best friend that you did so much with and in this case practically took over the world with.
Humble guy
This fucking interview makes me kinda sad!he lost his best friend!
Such a good friend and a person.
Kurt's music and death had a profound effect on my life. Nevermind was the first CD I ever owned and they were the first band I ever saw live. Punk rock and rock n roll in general and that culture have been such a driving force in my life that gave me such passion and amazing times and led me to who I am and the relationships I have with people. I really have no idea who or where I would be now if not for that spark Kurt Cobain ignited all those years ago. It's crazy now that I'm older than he ever was and I can see him as the young man that he was. We all were young and naive once, and in some ways we always will be. He should still be here.
I cried when reading this. I'm sorry.
+nogoodbastid Kurt's death had a profound effect on his life too, Lol
I was 15 living in Seattle at the time he died. I had long blonde hair and had been playing guitar for two years so most of what I knew was nirvana. I understand where you're coming from. Watching these interviews bring back the memories of how it felt when it happened.
+nogoodbastid syou have a good memories of this period. Lucky to have lived in this period, me too
+Jason Grooming Hey Jason: Its about Kurt? not you or your hair or music playing? HOW CAN YOU TURN HIS DEATH INTO A STORY ABOUT YOU?
I just wanna give this man a big hug :(
Hes a big man tho 🙂
Krist basically insinuated that Kurt might’ve taken his life for the freeze in time to be forever known as Kurt at 27 rather than grow old and slowly wither away from music
"He shouldn't have done that."
+Rikers Beard he didn't have done that. she killed him for his money.
+David Anderson YES
everyone who watched soaked in bleach knows he was murdered. what is your point. are you trying to say phaff, as in kristin phaff? you look ridiculous at this point, except we are talking about murder and you still look ridiculous because everyone KNOWS now he was murdered.
+none business oh god someone chugged the kool aid
You sound so silly, fooling no one! Everyone knows you declined participation in Kurt and Courtney out of fear that you would be discovered. For shame! How long will you allow people to believe that Layne Staylie overdosed when it was in fact murder!
Krist seems like such a genuine awesome guy
except he spent 22 years supporting kurt's murderers when he knew all along that he was murdered. not so awesome really
Just give it a rest
@@nonebusiness4488 tit
I wanna give him a hug he was always a nice guy i feel bad for him
They were amaxing musicians. Being a good musician isnt just about playing an Instrument well or singing pretty, its about making people feel somethung and making an impact on lives. Nirvana definatley accomplished that.
Well said. It's an emotional connection with people, it's expressing what people are feeling, thinking, and experiencing. I have never felt more emotionally connected to anyone's music but Nirvana's. Kurt's death hit me hard. I've lost three family members to suicide. I really feel for Kurt's family and friends.
Hey Krist, thanks for sharing this with us, man. We appreciate it. Take care, buddy.
He thanks you (I think)
50 bucks for a left handed Fender Mustang...damn.
More than double that now... Even the fuckin squiers are 300 buk
double? I've never even seen a left handed mustang. And the LH Jaguars & Jazzmaster have totally ridiculous prices.
dbo514
double LMAO I mean more than 10 times that HAHA I was pretty blazed tbf.. at one point i managed to get a Fender Jag at £450 which isnt bad.. I wish I hung on to that sucker now .
Them Kurt Cobain sig guitars are outrageous as well, all they done is stuck some humbuckers in and added a few extra knobs.
Vanadeo haha, I know, almost bought one.
My goal is to find a used jaguar or jazzmaster or mustang at a decent price, because it doesn't seem like fender will
budge.
dbo514
I got a squier mustang recently... Its in pieces atm as I am modding it my self.. Gonna put a humbucker in it and some new tuners eventually.. But they are nice to say its a squier..
Krist prayers to you brother. Sry for your loss
Hearing Krist and Dave talk about Kurt is so gut wrenching, we have no idea how bad it was for them, even if at the time those guys weren't seeing eye to eye, they were his friends, and Its known that Kurt suffered from mental illness. We have come a long way in cross treatment of addiction and depression since 94, what's done is done but if only Kurt could have saved himself, cuz let's be real,NOBODY can force you to stop if you are a drug addict, nothing can save you but your own will to realize you have to get help before it is too late, but especially heroin(I am 4 months sober, believe me its tougher than a lot of folks think, even with medication)adding dope to the fire of depression is combustible. Now the facts about him at the time are so skewed, and I am not gonna go into that, but his death was a waste of such a beautiful person, regardless of if he had never played again, I always wished he had stayed alive because as the saying goes "Suicide is a permanent solution, to a temporary problem" We miss you Kurt, and I am sure there isn't a day that goes by where your boys Dave and Krist and Pat dont wish you were here and think of you, Kirst especially, who knew Kurt since high school and probably saw his best friend going thru all this shit due to the limelight and it seems, in my opinion he felt like he lost a part of himself when Kurt died, and may even feel like he saw it coming and could do nothing because when a guy like Kurt sets his mind on something, well...look how far his ambition took Nirvana sorry for rambling guys and gals, Much love Krist and Dave. We all miss you Kurt #Nirvana4ever
Saw it the day it came out, that movie told me nothing I didn't already know, but what you are talking is opinion, and also if you can't tell by his actions when he was alive, there was something not quite right well, hey
@@nonebusiness4488 oh, she can't even walk like it needs, so u guys think she can shoot?
The story about the left handed guitar has me almost tearing up!! 😭😭 poor Krist! 💔
you'd be lucky to have a friend like Krist.. you can tell he felt for Kurt a lot deeper than as just a bandmate
Damn man this makes me wanna shed a tear. You can hear the pain in his voice. He just misses his creative buddy
I couldn't picture Kurt growing old, he raised the bar just being himself, he will be 27 forever.
Some people aren't just meant to grow old.
@@shijutu I'm starting to ? Myself, lo
Yeah you look back now and you could kinda see his trajectory.....he wasn't destined to make old bones.. I think even Dave alluded to it in an interview.
Health and happiness is everything
I love listening to Krist Noveselic telling old stories of him and Kurt before Nirvana exploded on the scene in 1991. It gives you a glimpse into the friendship and enthusiasm they had for each other growing up in Tacoma and Aberdeen Washington. Just 👂to Krist old stories brings Nirvana's legacy back to the forefront.
Legendary beautiful heart-warming life stories, I would love to hear over and over, actually. Phenomenal. Lovely. Interesting, Enchanting. Delightful. Inspiring.
Krist obviously loved Kurt a lot and it brought tears to my eyes when he was talking about looking for a left handed guitar. If that isn't true friendship i don't know what is.
That pawn shop story hits hard man
Of course Kurt would act differently around his buddies. Thats how most guys are. Many suicidal people try to put up a front. The members of Joy Division said the same thing about Ian Curtis, that he wasn't "depressed" or a "tortured soul" around them, he was just their good mate and a normal dude at the pub. If kurt was still alive and if nirvana went further I think Kurt would have been the next John lennon.
Maybe. But we also have this idea that the ONLY REAL emotion that a depression-prone person experiences is pain. Similar to the suffering artist thing. 'ONLY pain is what's truly real--anything else must be a front'.
Not necessarily. Kurt could easily have still had fun hanging with Krist and Dave - and really enjoyed it. I doubt it was ALL 'just a show'. A diversion maybe - levity - but that could have been just as real to him as the tougher times.
Yeah exactly
Kurt being too intelligent artistic and beautiful, a lot of the people in the world would hurt him through their bitterness, envy, false pride, and for his popularity (even when he actually hated that, they would still hate on KURT) Too many toxic inhumane people... ;_( Sadly.
I think you can really tell how much Krist loves him, by the way he says "The way that Kurt.... decided.. to die" He can't say it like Kurt was another statistic. This man grew up with him... I feel so bad for Krist. Also, "He just shoudln't have done that..." I think that's something that we don't get as fans, but if you've ever had a friend who has killed himself.. It would have gotten better. They would have gotten through it.
'It's better to burn out then to fade away.'
He will be remembered forever, that's the point.
Forever? Doubt that.
MrRuger1977 He will absolutely be remembered forever, much the same way we still remember Mozart and Bach. I think The Beatles, Elvis, Nirvana, Michael Jackson, all those iconic bands will be talked about for generations to come, because of what they did for music.
+MrRuger1977 what makes you think that? it's been twenty years and people still listen to nirvana and still worship Kurt for the musical genius he was. He's a legend. He will live forever.
***** I agree he will be remembered for some time, Just we use the word forever to easily. Everything fades with time.
Mike Anderson Did you just compare Kurt to Mozart and Bach??? Thank you for the best laugh I have had in ages.
Thanks Krist, for sharing about your memories of Kurt and the band. You must've known Kurt as well, if not better than anyone. Also your bass playing is Ass Kickin Good. God Bless Ya brother.
I would love to set down and talk to Krist for a few hours. Such an amazing guy who,with Kurt and Dave,made some of the best music of all time!!! R.I.P. Kurt Cobain!!
Miss you kurt 😔
Wow what a touching interview, such a sweetheart...you can tell he really loved Kurt and trying to verbalize how he felt about him and his death was very difficult for him
Kurt was a fucking genius. He was one of those artists who appear once in fifty years or more. His death has been a huge loss for rock music, I feel we have the need of someone like him in the music industry, just to maintain a certain integrity, that kind of rawness and honesty that should be rock music. Unfortunately, their enormous success has been their benediction and their hell at the same time. The guy was way too honest and cynical to be part of the mainstream circus like one of the many clowns we see these days. May god forgive him for the way he ended his life (if that is considered to be a sin or whatever...) and blesses his soul forever, he gave something pure and immortal to us on this little fucked up planet. Such a great great artist.
Also props to Krist and Dave for having been the perfect companions of the Nirvana journey.
That's heartbreaking.
Krist, thank you so much for sharing your memories. You are certainly a stand up guy. Lots of respect for you...
Thank you for posting this excellent video.
Krist suggesting Kurt did not kill himself
Think he is suggesting it.
Teary eyes of krists while telling story about kurt is breaking my ❤️😔
Krist is a sweetheart ,
I adore him !& I adore Dave too and omg Kurt so much I adore him...
r.I.p blue eyes 💙
This dude is a legend without him we probably would have never heard of Kurt Cobain
Its one thing to be a talented artist its another to have good people around to help you realise your dreams
this breaks my heart everytime i watch this, to see chris, remember his best friend Kurt, is saddening. i for one miss Kurt like crazy. the world hasnt been the same without him
The thing about the pawnshop guitars really stuck a chord (no pun intended) with me. For months after my best friend/drummer of my band died I would see concerts and start compiling a mental list of awesome stuff to tell him later before I remembered I wouldn't be able to. Also getting a new guitar I really like is key to me coming up with new songs too, I love hearing that Kurt was the same way.
Seems like a good lovely man krist. I could listen to him talk for hours his voice is so relaxing.
Thanks KN! Good Stuff!
love you professor Lyle your chemistry classes are so helpful!
When he said that he kept looking for left handed guitars out of habit after Kurt died...that got me. You can really tell how much of an effect it had on him. Wow.
I feel like Krist and Dave were among the very few people in Kurt’s life (after reaching fame) who truly cared about his well-being and didn’t see Kurt as a cash cow. Man, this interview is heartbreaking.
I swear Kurt's death changed this dude for ever from the instant it happened. He never looked as happy ever again
I just want to give Krist a nice big hug. Grateful him and Dave are still around.. Kurt would be proud❤️
My friend blew his head off with a shot gun also. When the shotgun went off it blew across the room and hit the wall then fell. I dont believe Kurt killed himself after seeing that shotgun laying on his chest.
I'm taking note of that but what really settled it for me is how the bassist of Courtney's band died shortly after Kurt. it doesn't seem significative but let's say she had an affair with Kurt...
@@Vinc34U ok but like why would she have an affair with kurt? Kurt loved courtney? Right?
@@ratwoman11222 she was kinda hot and kurt is a guy
The shot gun was also loaded with birdshot shells or something similar that don't cause near as much damage.
Not an affair they were serious friends though, no budding romance yet, but genuine care and friendship for each other...
It's like these guys were outcasts that once turned away from the world, decided to create their own world and in time, people looked over at what they created and wanted to come there as well. It's beautifully ironic
Beautifully written ❣️
From what I've read that's something Cobain struggled with because he saw the same type of people who ridiculed him for who he was while growing up and in high school, start showing up at his shows and liking his music which apparently irritated the living hell out of him.
This will never NOT be my favorite video. Such an honest, true friendship that will never die.
look at the pain in his eyes
oh my god poor krist he lost he's best friend but they had a great time together and krist you were in the greatest band of all time we love you maan!
I feel sad for Krist because you can see the huge effect that Kurt's death has had on him and still has on him to this day. Then he debunks the myth that Kurt was confused and tortured by telling us that he was very funny and creative, that that was his natural state generally. Kurt's death was a massive shock, he had a unique way of analysing the world through his songs, and his singing and playing were so effective. I think he is one of the great rock singers right up there with John Lennon. Like Krist, I wish he were still here because you just know he would be doing something creative and it would be great to see what those missing years would bring.
This video makes me cry every time I watch it
Wish I could sit down with Krist and talk with him about life. He seems truly genuine in his sadness even after all these years ...
Krist...thanks man I know what it's like to lose a friend....RIP Kurt....NIRVANA WILL NEVER DIE!
I love him so much and I admire him. He's really strong person and I don't know how he overcame Kurt's situation.
Kurt took Krist's happiness when he die and despite of that, Krist continue his life and made his own music
we all need friends like Krist ...Kurt was lucky to have such a great guy as his friend
I got to meet Krist at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco, my friends and I were helping his bandmates loading up their van. He was so humble and friendly, I think the band was Sweet 75 and they were traveling in a van, just doing their thing, He thanked us for helping them out and shook our hands, such an awesome memory
"He just shouldn't have done that." Powerful words from someone who lived and played music with him for years....
Krist was the big brother to Kurt and loved him very much. All the way to the end after he took Kurt t.o his last ditch help for rehab. Kurt retaliated in a extremely hostile way, and screamed "Fuck you!". Krist was completely distraught and tearfully knew he wouldn't see Kurt again. He was right.
This is awesome. Kurt and Krist were such good friends most of the time, I cried when I found out about their last encounter :'(
I just imagine going back in time and showing Kurt this vid.
