Seeing Kim and Krist here and realizing they both lost their best friends. It really hits you seeing them talking about their friends and you know it meant so much more to them than it did to us as mere fans.
Agree. I teared up when Krist touched Kims shoulder as Kim started talking about Chris. I've watched the full interview before but didn't give it my full attention. What a huge loss
Kim wearing perfect circle cap
Love it!
I think both were murdered.
@@Nominay Yeh right, both shot from the grassy knoll right...? 🙂
In every old video of Nirvana Krist looks like he’s having the time of his life. And the way he talks about his memory of Kurt is touching He seems like such a genuine person.
😅😅lol oko😊😊😅 3:55 😊😊iiiiooi😊ujuuuuuilppokpli😅😅hiuiuy😮o
you need to remember krist was drinking 247 lol
Ofcourse he s genuine person he was the bass player of nirvana
Yup. Always has come over that way. He's sadder these days, I hope that's not the case when he's off camera. Wacky Krist was the thing fans fell in love with.
He’s kind of an old prick when you meet him. Looks like Dr. Phil!
That pat on the back Krist gave to Kim when "Black hole sun" started playing...such a wholesome guy.
Krist is one of my favorite celebrities, it’s a damn shame he doesn’t get recognized as much as he deserves for his contribution to music.
It's good. Fame is worthless
@@user-dt5qk8uq7d true, but I feel like krist was a better bassist then most people realize. “Lounge act” for an example is a great representation
@@GhoulikmusikGreat representation. Krist was the glue.
@@jackdempsey9644 Totally agree!!!
@@jackdempsey9644 Agree. Krist was the glue.
Krist now looks like a lot of guys I see at Home Depot on the weekends, lol
He was always just a regular dude. And i say that as a compliment
Nirvana was never about the looks.
Kim also
Yeah, he's nearly 60, maybe you will also look like a grandparent at 60.
He’s gorgeous
The way Krist pats Kim's shoulder and rubs it when Black Hole Sun begins to play is so wholesome. It doesn't look like much but it speaks volumes when you know about each other's tragedies. Such a small but huge emotional exchange.
Yeah i felt that too. Well said.
Totally
Beautiful
Made me want to hug🤗them both❣
It felt more nostalgic and congratulatory to me, like "You did that!"
About a week after Krist and Curt gave me the demo cassette of Nevermind I went to a job in Rhode Island. I was playing the tape on and off for the crew and then they were wearing it out so I pulled it, turned on the FM and put the tape in my jacket. Bout an hour later I heard "Polly wants a cracker" . I'm all ,"you bastards took my tape outta my pocket?". They're "no it's the radio". I'm "no way, these are friends of mine in Seattle"....sure enough it was on the radio. Coast to coast in a matter of weeks. Phenomenal
Spelled your name “friend’s” name wrong
@@xxxoooo3710 which friend would that be?
@@xxxoooo3710 if you mean spelling Kurt with a C instead of a K that's how he spelled it when he and Krist gave me the tape.
Krist is definitely the most underrated bass player of the 90s - I'll tell you why: watch any Nirvana live video, see him jump and listen to the precision he still has! He's like Nirvana's Ringo Starr - what he plays is not the most technically advanced bass playing, but it's perfect in each and every song.
Yeah. Thats true. And when dave ghrol came into the picture , they became a super incredible rhythm section that allowed kurt do all kind of crazy things.
Krist and Ringo were also each really important in the social dynamics of their bands, as chilled-out, pleasant, reliable people who anchored the more volatile members. Krist was Kurt's close friend, not just some musician he recruited -- it doesn't seem like Nirvana could've existed without him any more than it could've existed without Kurt.
I get stuck listening to "Man who sold the World ."
Those runs are everything!
@357CLOUDY He plays it well,but he didn't write it, that's a Bowie cover.
I wish I was as underrated as the bassist of the seminal band that changed rock music forever is loved by millions of people worldwide.
Krist is like the unsung hero of Nirvana. The guy's got no ego to bruise and his bass lines support the songs so well. They're simple enough but filled with character. He can be both in the pocket and super loose depending on the context and he'll often put in some nice little "walking" notes or fill type bits in that really help the 3 piece setup. Of course there's the space to do it in that context as well so it never sounds like it's crammed in or something. Super groovy player considering the punk basis of the band.
Krist was just as non-negotiable to the existence of Nirvana as Kurt was. Perhaps he understood Kurt the most, at least musically.
The dude's a gem.
YeaH
You’re so right, the guy is completely egoless. That must be so freeing.
Just don't bring up escalators with him!!! Hahaha 😆
I always thought that Kurt wasn't necessarily interested in success, but he really craved validation.
Read Kurts journals he was intensely driven to hit the big time and VERY motivated to do whatever it took
@@vicvega3614 Yeah I did read his journals, but I also read his suicide note.
Interesting point. Could well be possible
@@rozzer666 To elaborate, as a child he told his sister that he was going to be famous some day and he really did play with the idea of being one of the greats in music. But success came so fast for Nirvana. now granted, they had been a band grinding it out in crummy clubs for years, but when Nevermind came out the band was strapped to a rocket taking them to the height of fame. Probably to a place he had dreamed of but also a place he didn't expect to get to so soon. I always felt that Kurt felt that in many ways he didn't deserve for several reasons but he wanted that validation to make him feel like maybe he did deserve the recognition. At the same time I feel that Kurt felt uncomfortable to some extent with his fame. At the same time though, he was probably really happy with the money which represented a level of security that he had never known before.
Seems like all kurt done is write songs and poems , seems like he was very driven
It’s not the first time I’ve heard Krist say something like “it should have never happened” he has also said “he should never have done that”.
Such simple phrasing yet profoundly philosophical about the death of his friend.
Krist is a legend, seeing him lament the death of his best mate is just bloody sad.
Yes, it's very, very sad... I still remember this bloody day when they said on the radio that Kurt is gone...
It happened when I a teenager and so it seemed inevitable. Like it was something that had to happen. But then you get older, you read about the circumstances, and you know it didn't have to happen. It wasn't inevitable. There is no such thing as fate, just tragedy.
Kurt didn't kill himself, he didn't overdose, he was killed. Krist knows the story doesn't add up and he should at least just not discuss it like Dave Grohl.
@JustinEpperly he shot himself dumbass, how many times does this have to be said? Only his DNA was there, Courtney's toxic ass didn't even know it happened until later.
@@JustinEpperly
I think Krist is trying to cope, he's accepted the "suicide" so he doesn't have to live knowing his best friend was murdered and he can't do anything.
I remember seeing an interview with Krist a long time ago after Nirvana ended (RIP Kurt) where he commented on how so many young fans would approach him and thank him. When he would ask them “Why are you thanking me?” their responses were universal: “Because Nirvana saved my life”. In 1991, mine was a life on the brink. I was in a total free fall and was going to end up either dead or in prison. And then Nirvana came along. This rock band is the only reason why I have my freedom today. Thank you Kurt and Krist.
They aren't the faces of the bands, but Krist and Kim were both hugely important. Kim's solos are so distinctive he is immediately recognizable. And Krist's bass was so integral to the sound of Nirvana; I'd listen to tracks like 'Lounge Act' on repeat.
Still won’t come out and admit he knows Rene and Cali overpowers kurt, drugged him, injected him with heroin and shot him to make it look like he took his own life. before he neatly put all his paraphernalia back into his little container. he must be scared of courtney or he’s getting some financial gain from keeping quiet
If you focus on the bass in Heart-Shaped Box, you'll notice how brilliant it is.
Kim is still brilliant. In 2018, I was upfront at the MC5 50th Anniversary show, right in front of Kim, who was playing the Fred Sonic Smith parts, but his own way. & he was effin amazing! He hasn't lost anything but perhaps a little hair! 🦃⚡🎸🤯🦃
Lounge act is one of my favorite tunes. Lead off with the bass.
Krists Bass solo on love buzz is pretty crazy
They are so humble and shocked they hit it so big even today. Wow.
The entire culture of Western Civilization turned upside down in 4 weeks,and it was never the same. If you lived it,no explanation needed. December 1991,punk hardcore & extreme metal shows changed in 5 days metaphorically. The underground was over,it was dizzying to experience. We didn't know punk/ skinhead fights,100 people screaming along with out of town bands,bouncers throwing skinny 14 yr olds off the stage,(like me) no normal people in sight,etc were gone with the wind. Raves picked up numbers 1992-1994 because it was underground for few yrs during the
"alternative" craze.
I did & Western Civ didn't turn upside down lol Without Teen Spirit catching on with record execs & MTV they would have been like they were when Bleach came out..a good grunge band
@@Roberto-de8xv Youth culture did,over time,which then affected them as adults.
well yeah, they haven't been able to achieve that level of fame in the last 30 years lol. After Kurt checked out they were left hanging
@@shaunsteele6926 If you all dig them no offense,and more power to you.
Foo Fighters suck compared to Nirvana.
Kurdt was a punker deep down,and it showed,even w his later slower songs.
I really love Krist. His genuiness, compassion, empathy and humanity always pours out when you see him speak. Just a great guy.
I'm 39, and Kurt inspired me more than any musician in my life. At age 10, I was absolutely obsessed. He was our Lennon. My favourite guitar is a sea-foam green Fender Jagstang, designed by Kurt. The whole reason I got into music was because of Nirvana.
Seems like most kids wanted to be Kurt or Tom Delonge. I wish I had learned about guys like Scotty Moore and Steve Cropper when I got my guitar in the mid 90s.
That’s a really interesting comparison. Both were great writers at completely opposite ends of the spectrum from each other.
I absolutely love you Rick and your channel, but man I wished you followed up with Krist on his Kurt rant instead of transitioning to Black Hole Sun. What a missed opportunity there.
I was exactly the same! I had Nirvana posters all over my room everywhere. I was a jock and as soon as I got into Nirvana I was obsessed with music forever!
Same brother
oh god, i just realized what he meant when Krist pats kim on the shoulder... Same weird thing man... Both dealing with the feelings invoked by hearing the voices of lost loved ones. Wow. I cried at that moment.
Yessss, I was thinking that toooo 🥺
Music is sooo powerful, the moment Black hole Sun starts to play and Chris puts his arm on Kim’s shoulder, it says so much without words. Almost like he knows how hard it is to listen to their fallen friends or something. Beautiful
A lot of times, us as fans can be selfish without even thinking about it. When Kurt and Chris both passed, a lot of fans (including me) reacted to it from how it effected us. Seeing interviews like this really reminds you that so much more was lost than just our favorite guitarist / singer / artist at the time. To see people like Krist & Kim still visibly hurting after all these years, puts it into perspective for me.
You're absolutely right. In defense, as much as it can be defended, most of us were young and stupid.
Yeah, man. I still get sad thinking about rock stars like Kurt Cobain and Ritchie Valens who died way too early. It leaves the whole world wondering "what could have happened if they didn't die?" It's truly tragic.
Cruelest part is they have to try to translate the art, and they do clinically and anecdotally, but Cobain and Cornel were probably winging it off their influences in reaction to music trends, pro and against...but their creation propelled the other people/band members...and the band members were use in good way, to advance art in moment in time...but now they're abandoned in reflection of it succeeding...Together they liked to say loaded, stream of conscious things in interviews, while now they look like they carry big responsibility trying to contextualize in hindsight.
Was Kim friends with Kurt? I’m a bit new to all the “history” of this if you will lol
I agree, like it’s probably tough for both of them to listen to some of this music after everything that happened. I got the impression Kim was maybe a little emotional hearing black hole sun and I think Krist picked up on that.
Rick, I was a teen in the 90s and these bands meant more to me than anything in the world. What you are doing now makes an older man very happy
+1 here, except I don’t feel older 😂😂
I know we’re old now even if we don’t always feel it
+1
It seems like Krist still hasn't gotten over his friend's death, all these years later. His sadness makes me sad.
It is thing never get fully recover. You must think you could not doing anything.
It was suprise to all. Why!?
Only Kurt knows.
I remember Krist throwing his bass guitar up in the air as far as he could. Dude was crazy
Gotta love Krist, he’s such a statement about Kurt to have a friend like him. Peace be with you big guy & much love always.
Cobain, Cornell, Wieland and Layne Staley will be never forgotten as the faces of early 90s during the Grunge Movement
Wieland? Behave
Weiland should come last and Layne should be first on the vocal skill list then Cornell then Cobain then wieland
Scott Weiland is an extremely underrated singer, frontman, and musician. You ask Slash and Duff how he was able to change certain melodies and arrangements of songs just by listening to rough demo’s. I’m not even a big STP fan but the guy was a great talent.
Lanegan ☹️
Andy wood!
black hole sun is an absolute masterpiece. beautiful melodies, incredible
Such an addicting song. Love it
This is great. Keep this type of content coming. The layers on these songs from generational talented bands is amazing. Thank you for sharing the story on how these songs came together from two of our favorite bands (Nirvana, Soundgarden).
"He [Kurt] had to deal with that drug addiction, and that's what tore him down. It was too powerful. It should've never happened." - Krist Novoselic
These words could be said about so many sensitive souls over many decades.
Kim is second cousin to the Baghwan Shree Rajneesh
I remember the day Chris Cornell died and radio stations on the west coast (I was in Los Angeles at the time) played black hole sun right as the sun was about to disappear on the horizon. It was truly a moment I will never forget.
A fitting tribute to the song and Chris.
I live in Los Angeles - I remember the day Kurt Cobain died, and oddly, one of the rock stations announced his death and then played Black Hole Sun. And, yeah, I will never forget that. Your comment reminded me of that.
I used to push my niece, who was born with schisencephaly , in her wheelchair to see the ponies. We would hum Black Hole Sun together. She had to move away for better care and every time I hear that song it makes me cry
The record from Krist's new band 3rd Secret is my favorite of last year; such a great suite of songs - vibe for days and so damn good on repeat listens. He's done a lot of stuff post Nirvana but I'm so happy that he's found this groove with his new group; highly recommend it to people all the time.
This interview is so wonderful. I watched the whole thing when Rick released it. Getting chills listening to these guys talk.
Sad that both Kurt and Chris passed the way they did, absolutely magnificent artists. Also its bitter sweet watching Kim and Krist react to hearing their vocals again. Rick does a great job keeping things moving so as not to dwell on it too long and bring it back to music. This could easily have just been filled with uncomfortable silences. Rick's a really good interviewer in that sense.
Cobain's opinion of Krist's endorsement of Trump would not be hard to imagine...
Chris is ok he hasn't passed on
i think rick should have had let krist talk longer before interrupt him too ask his question again
@@philiphalpenny9761 when did Krist endorse Trump? Was it 2016, 2020, or 2024? I mean, either one is pretty heartbreaking to hear, but each has different implications, you know?
@@philiphalpenny9761 WOW...I didn't know that about Krist...I *LOVE* him even more now!!! 💗💗💗
Interviewer: "Why did you name the album NeVeRmInD?"
Kurt Cobain: "I don't know....so I could dismiss the question."
Brush off* lol
this is so beautiful interview it's great to see the folks back
I mean, seriously, Rick is the ultimate musical artist interviewer, his insights and comments are far beyond what most people can come up with when talking to legends like these. Awesome job.
Man the 90s were tough on us ..literally my wife had lost all her friends at, our wedding they were all gone. These strangely arent musicians to me, but more like my people who spoke for us. I miss that part of my life. Thanks for making the music bros...sorry for your losses.
What happened at your weeding? 😮
@@Oobydoo114 90 % of our friends O.D.ed by then
@@Flyrodder68 Sorry to hear that. Hope things are better now.
@@DJParkesie959II o yeah that was 25 years ago...90s were rough on my friends..thanks for the kind remark... :)
@@Oobydoo114 By the time we got married in 2010 some of my friends survived the 90s..most ended up in rehab or w mental illness from continued use...my wifes old friends were all dead from OD all of them...we survived and are both professionals...lucky to have made it
I was 21 in 92 … saw Nirvana at the Michigan State Fairgrounds in 93. Will never forget the opening Radio Friendly Unit Shifter and the crowd just going OFF. They sounded so good , such a tight band at the end
Bad ass comment
Radio Friendly Unit Shifter is totally underrated. An absolute banger of a song when it is played live.
The forth guy sitting here is Jack Endino of the band Skinyard, who were another early Seattle band. Around 1985 or 86 me and my friend Carmela got a Skinyard demo and tried to get them signed to the label Alternative Tentacles since we were friends with the head of the label. But she said “I don’t need to sign this band. They’re mainstream”. But Endino had told us that the mainstream labels said they were too punk rock. I think that epitomized the conundrum the Seattle sound created which is why it wasn’t until almost five years later that Nirvana and the rest really broke out. I wish Rick had asked Endino about Skinyard. To my ears they were like a punk rock King Crimson.
Did Jello not have a say? I would think he would've done anything to sign Nirvana, no?
He's more famously known as the engineer behind Nirvana's bleach album.
Jack Endino fucking rocks
THANK YOU!
SOB! What a great interview. Legendary. Thanks for sharing.
I could listen to Krist talk for hours, he is also a gentle soul❤
Krist is one of the most likeable people ever and his bass playing with nirvana elevates them so much. Also maybe the greatest stage presence from a bass player ever. ALSO the dudes got a steel noggin 😅 I’d have died from a bass to the head like that for sure
It’s funny bc if you had asked people who were roadies for their tours or were interviewers a lot of them would probably say that Krist was an ass.
Now the guys insanely likable and you can’t help but to think that maybe part of that is due to not only losing Kurt but also how that all went down since Kurt had assaulted krist at the airport when krist took him to go to rehab days before Kurt’s death. Obviously age also has an effect but losing a friend in that manner has to fuck with you especially after a falling out of sorts like that
@@joshuapittman4663 well Krists teenage angst paid off well now he's bored and old...
Still won’t come out and admit he knows Rene and Cali overpowers kurt, drugged him, injected him with heroin and shot him to make it look like he took his own life. before he neatly put all his paraphernalia back into his little container. he must be scared of courtney or he’s getting some financial gain from keeping quiet
What about Paul McCartney, Steve Harris, Lemmy, Flea, Les Claypool, and even Gene Simmons?
Carol Kay of the wrecking crew and Stanley Clark may just come come into that category.
this conversation was unreal...still doesn't seem real for some reason seeing the guys talk about their past like this in this setting. These types of conversations were none existent back in the day and to get this type of insight and feelings from the people who are directly responsible for this iconic soundtrack that will forever be my life. Thanks again Rick
Amazing how time flies. Just yesterday these guys were kids rocking out and creating the grunge genre. And just yesterday I was a kid listening to them.
ikr ;_;
This interview is priceless, we are all indebted to Rick for this.
Wow Rick, this was a beautiful interview you conducted. Nice work, pal.
This made me get in touch with my tears..needed this to know that I am still alive...great singers lost too soon! Rest in Peace Kurt, Chris, Lane, Chester, and other great artists and legends that we lost so soon!
These interviews are such gems for music lovers of different generations. This one covers my generation, and man i can't really tell how that feels hearing these icons i loved so much... I stopped listening to Nirvana and Soundgarden at one point, around 20 years ago. I didn't want to overhear theim, i was at the verge of it. Now hearing these ... I'll say it, GODS of my teenage years, and also realizing they are icons of the past, it's as thrilling as melancholic. Brings me back reminiscences of my turbulent adolescence moods. Thx, from France.
Rick has an awesome place in music. I love these interviews and Rick is always easy to listen to.
Excellent interview Rick, thanks for all the hard work you put in to this channel, love it❣
This interview was fantastic. Imma go listen to it again. I love your work!
Beautiful group of men who went against each other but faced the same tragedy both songs are epic both musicians were epic this is bitter sweet God bless them Chris and Kurt forever
Thank you so much for this priceless conversation...excellent!!! 💗💗💗
Krist looks like Dr. Phil now. I'm so glad that he's still around to share his stories and memories of Kurt to keep his legacy alive.👍🏾
That's funny. I am looking at him and noticing how much he looks like Bryan Bassett from Foghat.
@@TheOlesarge OMG you're right! Twins!😆
I was wondering during the interview, why doesn't Krist shave his head completely bald?
@@flipflop6525 The funny thing is, if he shaved his whole head bald, he'd actually look younger!
@@arpegio88 That's good, right? He would probably look like his 20 some year old self you're right! I guess he doesn't want to.
What a legendary interview!
Thank you for providing this platform Rick. Absolutely fascinating
Thank you for doing this seriously thank you!!!!!
I'll be off to watch Montage of Heck after this. Nirvana.... a moment in time, for which im thankful I lived through. One of those bands that come along and re-write the way forward, along with a few other top bands breaking out at that time. I love the ever changing nature of music and how infinite it seems.
RIP Kurt Cobain, gone too soon, but definitely will never be forgotten.
I will always blame drugs and Courtney about it.
But Kurt was dark minded person. I know because I am too. Those reasons.
That’s what I did. Immediately went and watched montage of heck. It’s amazing
Watch Soaked in Bleach if you want to know how he really died (staged suicide).
@@kipponi Kurt made his own decisions but keep blaming mommy
@@Cloud007. Soaked in Bleach is a fictional conspiracy theory documentary that's been denounced even by the people who appear in it. staged? not hardly.
Because of this interview, I went ahead and bought Third Secret’s album. Love it! Thanks Rick!
i am in awe at these people. i hope they are all just feeling okay and these men are in peace. people really forget they are these complex human beings (idk much abt Kim but i love that fucking song) and funny, sad, highs and lows. grief is a beast and the way they go is even tougher. incredible musicians and people and so grateful we got what they gave to us. it's always nice to hear them talk about it since i know grohl rarely does bc it's just too fuckin hard. i never realized how amazing krist was as a bass player until i started playing and MAN. also how do you grw that tall
Watched the full video a couple times. Will be watching it many more
For years I was sad about Kurt's death and wished he was still here. Now that I'm older I'm kind of glad he was immortalized at age 27. Seeing Krist and Dave get older makes me a bit sad. I wouldn't have wanted to watch my teenage idol grow old.
Whenever I think of Kurt, I picture how he looked at the Nirvana MTV Unplugged. The wool cardigan, the greasy blonde hair tucked neatly behind his ears, and those piercing blue eyes.
@@kurtlamprecht93 Life is fucked up. You'll be okay.
I attended a Soundgarden concert in Winterthur, Switzerland in the 1990s. Black Hole Sun is one of the best songs ever.
Geez, man, you made me tear up. That was wonderful. Thank you.
Thank you! From Wenatchee WA!
I saw Soundgarden live in '96 in Germany. Thoughout the 2 hours and a half or 3 hours they played, Chris never removed his stare that was fixed at some point ahead close to the roof of the venue. They were like a heavy industrial machine. Good memories
So glad these 2 found each other and created music together. I'd love to meet Krist. Such a cool down to earth guy. I picture him living on some secluded ranch in one of those sparsely populated states. Just the complete antithesis to a rock star.
Black hole sun was so picturesque when I would listen and watch on MTV back in the day. You actually felt like you were in that blazing heat or trying to catch a break from it in the pool. Such an amazing song and very instrumental for my youth 😎
Great clip!!
One of the guys mentioned "Black Hole Sun" wasn't 'gratuitous Prog' and it made me smile, because "Gratuitous Prog" would be a great name for an album I'd want to buy! 😁
I'd buy that.
Sounds like a good ironic punk band name
@@dylandenney3980 I was thinking it would be a good name for an actual Prog-Rock band, one that just doesn't give a damn if their style or their instrument solos are perceived as gratuitous or not. I think their first album cover should have the bands name across the top:
"Gratuitous Prog"
Directly below the band name is a band photo, or whatever artwork they prefer. At the bottom of the album cover is the album's title:
"Deal With It!"
I guess, that's sort of a "Prog-Punk" attitude, now that you mention it. 🙂
You mean it wasn't a Frank Zappa album?!!
This is one the best interviews that I've heard on the channel. Just a phenomenal talk between friends over the decades about one of the most important periods of rock music
No ego..just appreciative to have the time they had with their band. And yeah...just to know you and your part in the band was such a great privelage and made listeners just appreciate you.. That makes a bigger impact than any amount of fame.
..... Good timing Rick...... ( When You Started playing 'Black Hole Sun' etc .). I think everyone was about to cry at the thought of the loss of their friend . At the unfortunate loss of Kurt to addiction etc. Great video man!!
Yeah those audio sample demos that Kurt made are pretty sick and super creative I like how they touched on that to put those together are pretty fun
Hearing the intro to Black Hole Sun made me think of the first time I heard it when it just came out, my buddy says have you heard the new Soundgarden and he puts BHS on and it literally brought tears to my eyes (granted we were really high) and leave the room after about a minute- it was like being kicked in the face with sadness and hope and bitterness and beauty all at once. I've only felt that a handful of times in my life, that song was a whole other level than what bands at that time were doing
You guys this is beautiful, love the old days. I miss it now
Wow, I would love to see the rest of this.
Seeing Kim and krist just sitting there talking about how brilliant their bands were is just awesome. I miss the 90s. I never got to see nirvana or Soundgarden. I wish I did. I did see pearl jam and Bush, RHCP but never Soundgarden or nirvana. I never got to see any other grunge band like Tad, Alice in chains. But in im glad Kim krist Dave, Eddie and others are still here with us 👍🏻💯🎸
I could listen to these guys all day. Thanks, Rick.
Listening to the interview , Kurt’s amazing sophisticated melodic distortions are simply resonating far and wide, hitting straight to the heart ♥️
Dave's entering beat just starts this surge of adrenaline and goosebumps for me, that feeling in a song intro where it's like "yeah, it's happening". Does it every time, like Ben's moody and understated bass line coursing just beneath the waves on Black Hole.
Thank you for this gift, Rick! Man Oh Man, what legends!
Jesus is my Legend !!! And i hate all religion !!
That's definitely the most I've ever heard Kim speak. I liked hearing him talk. When he mentioned Andy i was almost shocked because if not thought of Andy wood for a LONG time but i had the Apple record and played it all the time in 90s. I agree that the prolific writing of Andy and Chris really defined then. They had such a wide array of songs they could go to fit any album or band change up.
Beautiful interview their music is legendary ❤
Krist will always live the rest of his life in mourning. You can tell it just happened yesterday to his mind.
I think you read far too much into the whole thing. I’m sure there is PLENTY of anger there too. That fakken skinny nitwit junkie blew up a great thing. And for WHAT? To leave his newborn to grow up alone? Suicides aren’t heroes. They’re total selfish narcissistic assholes.
Shit like that never truly leaves your mind, but eventually there comes a time when you finally stop counting the number of days it's been since you've lived without them and can kind of just think of it as if they moved away.
Krist always has been my favorite member of nirvana, he seems the most down to earth
watching this makes me feel really freaking old , but happy I experienced the best music in my youth !
The pain at lost love is evident. I return the love to you, the creators. All my compassion and appreciation. Please take it. You've given so much and lost your friends. I have too, in my own tiny way. Thank you.
Please take it all back and share the love with your families.
I couldn't care less which guitarist played which part on the recording. What I've ALWAYS wanted to know was how were those chords choose during the solo? It's one of the strangest parts to a rock song I've ever heard and it's amazing in ways I can't articulate. It takes so long to resolve the tension being built but the resolve just feels perfect. One of the best written songs in the last thirty years.
Love Krist's energy. He seems like such a warm person. Love his 🌲 Giants in the trees 🌲 project
@@philiphalpenny9761 people are allowed to think for themselves (imagine that)... Every member of a band isn't intellectual carbon copies of each other (mind blowin' revelation, right?), radical idea, I know.
Kurt also hated mindless followers and bandwagon politics.
@@philiphalpenny9761 yawn, give it a rest
Ive met Krist in seattle in 1996 and he was very warm and sincere. I actually didn't even know who he was, One night at the hop vine pub on 15th ave he bought me a beer and we had conversation then he left and my friend told me who he was and i was blown away.
Krist remained close at heart to Kurt no matter how long it passed since he lost his best friend. Dave sort of moved on with his new band but one can see in every interview how much Krist misses him. RIP Kurt.
Omg Krist is such an underrated gem in rock music, his spirit and genuine common sense with humour. Krist jebote gde si ti! Pozdrav!
This guy looks like has lived the most pedestrian life ever. But he was in one of the greatest bands of AT! Respect.
The two biggest musician losses that hit me: Kurt Cobain when I was in university and I had started playing guitar because of Nirvana, and Chris Cornell as an adult. Two formative bands on my playing and two men that gave it their all.
Absolutely the same here man
Kind of a beautiful honesty in Kim describing just kind of feeling their way through the songs.
I love these guy's, there all ever so talented and got there own vibes going off.
Also very touching pulls at your heart strings too.
Keep up the good work.
Massive 👍's up!
'The dog would salivate'- love Krist's self-effacing, 'wrong' sense of humour 🙂
I'm 45 and grew up with grunge I can listen to these stories all damn day.
Same here!!!!!
The old Seattle guys are one big family. It’s really good to see a few of them get together and talk about old times.
They seem very nostalgic remembering all this… grunge ruled the 90s… so many great bands and songs! So Grateful for these guys! 🙏🏻
I can’t believe it’s been so long since I first discovered these two amazing groups! Two very talented and ingenious groups…🤙🏽
Hit me up 🤙
