I just noticed Krist going “you alright?” to Dave when they’re getting ready for the first interview. He was always doing what he could to watch out for them and keep energy and moral up even when things were starting to crumble. Definitely the papa in charge as Kurt described him as. Very empathic and gentle giant of a man who cares deeply for everyone around him.
if only kurt followed krist in the airport to go somewhere in the countryside and have a break things mightve not happened
You can feel the bitterness behind Dave and Krist words during the second interview (cf Kurt's sloppy playing, Krist' opinion about cynicism, Dave saying "it's up the air", "kind of a mystery... to us" etc). They clearly came to a point where they all knew the band was falling apart and Kurt's addictions and habits bothered them a lot.
Just when you thought you've seen every Nirvana video this pops up! Absolutely amazing thanks for the upload
It's quite sad Dave speaks about summer festival that never happened
@Astro Jenkins You do know Kurt is dead, don't you?
@@Spice99857 You can't be this dense.
@Astro Jenkins wut
@Astro Jenkins Its not false, Kurt is dead, ask Courtney Love, she's now a widow as a result of his death.
Dave is glassy eyed. Maybe he actually smoked pot before it was legal
I appreciate krisdt. He’s so important for the way Nirvana is rounded out with the cynically driven side of punk and then the unconventional silliness with his relentless ego less awkwardness. Lastly I then point to the brotherhood and loyalty to the band that he with Kurdt crafted and It is a beautiful thing.
very well said
I don’t think In Utero or Unplugged would even exist if Krist wasn’t in the band. Dude was the fucking glue.
They both knew Nirvana's days were numbered. All they could do was hold on and ride out the storm 🫤
Knowing Kurt didn’t attend the interview and it’s year 1994 just make this even sadder
He just didn’t go because it said the date in the video which was 2/07/1994 which is February so 2 months b4 he died
@@josuemendoza4865 could've been july 2nd
No because they didn't do yours after lifts death. They were talking abt their first tour with patt
Kirts*
He had a lot going on legally around this time, involving magazines writing things about him. I partially believe that if he really did commit suicide, it had a lot to do with the inability to balance everything. We all know what it’s like when work follows us everywhere we go. The burnout becomes intolerable, heroine just making it worse. You can tell he wanted to quit, but just couldn’t.
Whoever found this and uploaded it.. we salute you 🫡
Watching Krist's face as she unloads Spanish rapidly is LOLs
From corduroy to tweed, the natural progression of any self respecting grunge bassist.
OMG, Krist is the BEST!! Sad that Kurt wasn't with them
I miss when he still had a goofy sense of humor. Kurt robbed him of that.
@@suburbanindie he literally still has it, you just haven't watched any of his interviews post 1995 lmao
1:37
¿Donde está Kart?
¿Where is Kart?
@@suburbanindie Oh, shut up
He's a liberal. They don't understand how to be funny.
Kurt stayed in his room and did not attend... sadly.
Doing what?

It’s hard to watch knowing what’s ahead of them in a couple of months. Especially when they talk about the summer tour.
“Krist Novoselic here, damn glad to meet you” haha

the interview starting around 7:30 is very uncomfortable at times knowing what we know now; questions regarding the "stress levels" of the band and how its still a mystery to both of them in regards to the direction of their next project are very haunting
Kurt was not in video interviews anywhere on this tour. His last interview was over the phone with Fender magazine. Sad to see Krist and Dave in all those two-man interviews, they had no idea what was ahead of them.
What about Pat?
World Tour of the biggest band in the world. His wildest dreams of being a Rock N Roll star came true and it was all ruined because of his addiction. Imagine how hopeless he must of felt after cancelling the tour to go home and get high... cancelling your dreams, letting everyone around you down. I can understand why he killed himself.
Ha, sure?
@@JBrooksNYS The way you put this, "cancelling the tour to go home and get high.." really hits. Cuz I'm sure there was a point where he saw through his own denial and ego and realized that's where he was at, and how lonely of a feeling that must be.
They're dumb. They knew, have seen how was Kurt in the last months... And did nothing.
Krist looks like an FBI Agent!!!!
Was hoping Kurt would be in the interview... Has been ⚘29🥀 years now Kurt & I Miss😪You More than ever❣
next yeat
2024 will be 30 years. Kurt has been dead longer than he was alive... :-(
he’s worked with the C.I.A alongside Court n’ Dave, but alphabet boys nonetheless.
Omg he totally looks like Tom Clancy now that you say that😂
@@jetboy_ Dave, yes. Krist, doubtful
Goddamn, Krist was so energetic back then. Kurt's death affected him so much.
Let me tell you a secret. Most people are energetic in their 20s.
@@remzo641 I know, but look at interviews after Kurt's death
He was still energetic throughout the end of the 90's, I'm sick of people thinking his life was a big void after Kurt died. Most of you people forgot he was in a band called sweet 75, and he still had his sense of humor. Check out his interview with Narduar in 1999 and the VH1 special about the 10 year anniversary of grunge. He just got older and lost other people in his family. Stop pretending as if he needs be felt sorry for.
You actually think people maintain the same levels of energy as they age? 😂 Obviously Dave Grohl took it pretty hard too because like he can’t fit into his old pair of jeans anymore. Clearly an eating disorder triggered by the Cobain tragedy 🤣
The Cobain tragedy obviously flipped his lid too, right? What with his support for Don the Con 😂
keep them coming. Thanks! cool to see the rare stuff
@404 TV and the person that had it before him got it from somebody else and that person got it from somebody else and that person got it from somebody else. Shut up dude.
@404 TV I don’t really care where it comes from man it’s an interview from 20 years ago.
@404 TV it just amazes me that saying thanks for posting a video and somebody finds a way to complain.
@404 TV again, man I really don’t care how the videos cropped lol or what resolution or FPS it has lol.
All Nirvana stuff is Gold !!! Thank !!!!
Oh my GOD, these guys were just soooo genuine, no mask on them, they were just going with the flow so naturally, saying and giving their opinions of whatever and however they wanted, so free, so charismatics....but well, just like another man in these comments said, they didnt know what was ahead from them, regarding kurt's death =(...it is hard to believe that back then, it was less than a month for kurt passing away =(....but well, things happened like they happened....but still, they looked so nice and tender in this spanish interview....LOVE THEM!!!
That would be very nice to see Kurt with them 😢 so sad what happend just about 2 months later :(
Two months later, Kurt would be gone. This is the tail end of the band. Sad to hear them talk about touring and future plans.
This was 9 days before I was born. I’m glad I got to share this world with Kurt for a couple of months before he died.
I was two days old! Yeah, our time shared with him was far too brief ):
Y'all lucky. I was born in 2003. Makes me sad.
I was 1 Month old here! Shoutout to us 1994 babies! Now holding onto our 20s for dear life lol
i was born in unplugged day
I'm grateful I grew up in the 80s & was able to see one Nirvana show in our hometown of Washington @ Seattle Coliseum January of 94 & the concert was recorded & is here on UA-cam...⚘🎸🥀
I remember hearing Kurt OD’d in Rome and almost died. Even my parents, who knew little about any of this “grunge” said something about how it was going to end up. It seemed inevitable. I think that’s actually why I don’t fully remember exactly where I was when I heard it even though I was a big fan.
Kurt didn't OD on heroin in Rome. He had too many "roofies" in his system which were a prescription of Courtney's. It was Courtney that slipped her prescription pills into Kurt's champagne 🍾. Courtney tried to kill Kurt in Rome.
I remember being furious when I heard in the February that he had tried and failed to take his life, as if he were trying to scare me/us. When he shot himself through the head and they didn't find his poor body for three days I wept and hated myself for doubting his sincerity. I will always remember and love you Kurt. I am now 62 x
We thought we had gotten lucky that he lived that first time. It's sad to know how many fellow artists were made aware of how he was doing that reached out, only for him to never respond. He was already gone.
Dave learned so much from this time in Nirvana..mostly what not to do when you're the front man of an incredible band. That's why his incredible band has stood the test of time!
I had to learn how to count cos now I'm so rich - you're lovely Dave - so real x
2 months before Kurt was found. They came to dayton Ohio in oct 93, and Kurt was wearing that jacket Dave has on
A lot is revealed by what they say, "still a mystery.. to us" suggesting they had no idea what Kurt was thinking or planning for the band. Seems very much Kurt was in charge. This is fascinating to see, perhaps Dave and Krist haven't seen this before either.
Kurtd was nirvana just like queen was freddie and motorhead was lemmy 🤷♂️
Incredible! Thanks for sharing. Boy, those are some creepy close-ups, and a lot!
And how cool is it Krist pulls out, "Moosejaw Sas-katch-ewan!"
Kurt estaba encerrado en un cuarto vacío y oscuro picándose y pensando como iba a dejar de existir...ROCK BUSINESS!!
Okala Kurt hubiera podido colaborar con Eskorbuto y Cicatriz
Weird you can't help but sense the guys are worried about Kurt. Especially Dave there's a sadness there. A look of hurt. Don't remember dave looking like this. Even nowadays. They knew something was up, butvobviously not what ultimately happened.
They werent worried cuz they already knew what was gonna happen, Kurt tried to fire both of them and that's why it started to get weird in 94 until Kurt died
Worried about their future employment*
@@lottofever3061 shit ya.
@@NotAnAstronaut2k He wasn't himself. He needed an extended break and lax supervision during it but he was pressured to produce music and perform concerts and just imploded. It's incredibly sad. He just needed a long break and some sympathy - even if he didn't get clean, he might have cut down.
So sad to hear them talk about the next album from around 13:36...
10:15 Woah, like it's the first time in my life seeing Dave mentioning Alice In Chains, when talking "grunge"-related matters. Especially because i also love AIC so much lol
Being Spanish myself, I find this very cool and weird
wow this was so surreal to watch, looks like yesterday
Great quality, footage and find…
Thanks for this upload…
I see your comments everywhere 😂❤😊

On 9th February 1994, I was studying for my exams in English Philology: I was 20. One of those days in February 1994,I passed the 1st exam of English Phonetics, which was very difficult.XBárbara L.G.❤️🎹🎼🎶🎵❤️
This is awesome. Thanks for posting. 🙂👍🤘
can't thank you enough for this!! awesome quality. Thank You
Talking about laundry hanging out at 5:06... 😅
Great find. Thanks for posting this! ☺
Oh my, thanks so much for this. What a great find.
Joaquín Luqui… what a legend…
Krist is in Spain, and coming up with Italian and Mexican references. In that sense, a typical American.
Damn. Never seen Krist dressed up like this. He looks like he stepped out of another decade, though
I think he looks great, I love those kind of clothes. Also I use to wear formal shirts, granny sweaters and things like that 😅
What a Legend, the great Joaquín Luqui.
😂Krist che imita Mussolini, il Duce, 😅😅😅5:30... Adoro Krist & Dave, non c'è dubbio che Kurt sapeva scegliere davvero i suoi amici❤️
It was the last days of Nirvana, how I wish Nirvana didn't die.
"Hi krist novoselic here, dam glad to meet ya" 🤣🤣😆
the vibe was light in 89-91/early 92. it was getting heavy in mid-late 92-93, then got really dark end of 93/early 94. 🥲😪
Money.
The relations between the Kurt and Krist/Dave got worse after Kurt changed the publishing in 1992. Drugs were a divison too. But to me the vibe in interviews was still great right up till the end - the Kurt Loder MTV interview in October '93 was hilarious and the final Kurt interview (Nardwar) in January '94 was light and fun.
Things deteriorated very quickly as Kurt and Courtneys relationship got strained in February '94. She was supposed to fly out to meet him on the Euro tour but kept delaying it. Eventually it emerged she was hanging out with Smashing Pumpkins in London. Kurt was miserable and pissed off and concerned she was cheating on him with Billy Corgan (her ex).
She missed Kurts birthday and the Nirvana tour lasted about a week after that - Kurt wanted to cancel the tour, but stuck it out for the Slovenia date which loads of Krists Croation family were due to attend, then deliberately blew his voice out at the next gig so they could postpone/cancel the dates without losing too much money. Kurt and Courtney finally met in Rome, but things were frosty and he took an OD. He recovered from the coma and they all went home and re-scheduled the dates.
For the rest of March Kurt numbed himself into oblivion with heroin. He was heartbroken and lost his motivation for the band and wanted to cancel Lollapalooza and pause everything. Management and Courtney staged an intervention in late March to try and convince him to do the tour and quit heroin. Kurt reacted badly to this. He had a half-*ssed attempt at rehab, gave up after a few days and killed himself a week later.
Lessons:
- Dont cheat on on your spouse (or let them think you're cheating)
- Drugs make everything much more difficult
- It's ok to take a long break from your job if you're miserable and need some time to recuperate.
That dudes hair is wild. Its the natural clown look. He should’ve dyed it bright red.
Lol krist imitating Il Duce, someone must have been like “ehhhh don’t mention Franco “ 😅😂
Spain is cool man , seeing this reminds me how the country was when I was 6, I went in 95 to Barcelona , and Barcelona is biiig , but to a 6 year old it looks even bigger . The 90s practically every summer I went to Spain to the Costa del sol and Majorca . Beautiful country , finally em went to Madrid in 2014 and got to see the bernabeu and Vicente Calderon , was more impressed with atletico ground being honest
Yeah you're kinda right. Spain is cool but people in general don't care too much about rock music.
looks like dave is wearing kurts coat
Similar but no, Kurt's was green
Fook me this is grim.. By this point it appears that the positive energy is gone, Dave jovialness is forced and Krist looks like he has the world on his shoulders... Very interesting to see, very macabre, very sad to now know that it's months away from tragedy.
I like when Krist says "Chiapas" and "Zapatistas".
2 meses después moría Kurt y un año y medio después Dave sacaba el debut de Foo Fighters.
Hey, amigo nirvanero, ¿De qué parte de América eres, o eres de España?
Y por que cobain no fue ala entrevista?
Siento como si el álbum debut de Foo Fighters hubiese sido como el 4to disco de Nirvana... (Obviamente después Dave logro superar y por mucho a su propio Nirvana ❤)
I am happy to see when Krist looks like a Trial lawyer...
What was that? They are in a mood as if Kurt was already dead, definetely things were tense backstage at the time, and people still think Curtney killed him... Obsiously the guy was giving signs way before
Every Nirvana 1994 footage that is uploaded in YT, always there's some conspiracy dickhead comment on it. Glad there's more comments about music, even comments on that darker times for the band and Kurt's absence in this last interviews.
I dont believe he committed suicide to this day 30 years later I still believe he was murdered by that soul sucking bitch wife of his courtney love
Meh, they don't bother me that much. I'd rather have conspiracy theorists than people that just believe everything they hear.
@@hapahapahappy True and actually look up the evidence of things too before dismissing everything… there’s actually crazy goings on that are actually being proven lately.. I am not one to believe everything so quickly but happy to look at legit evidence..
@@hapahapahappy there's stuff and situations over that subject that i believe and others don't. And there's some conspiracy believers who buy every crap that some mediatic and morbid leeches, who doesnt give a fuck about kurt's music and nirvana, claims. they don't even care the so called justice for kurt's demise either. anyway, kurt is dead and that's what matters, sadly. people can believe what they want.
@@Charlito732 yeah, I mean, conspiracy theorists can be annoying and stupid but I still think you do need people to question things. I'm actually kind of split on it as well. I personally lean more towards it being foul play but it could've also just been a suicide. No one really knows exactly what happened except that he died.
Kurt's last interview was NARDWUAR's!!
5:32 When Kurt died, Krist's sense of humor died too..
Smh... When were you born, yesterday? You don't know Krist at all to make that comment as if it's factual. He was still energetic well throughout the 90's and 2000's. You and people like you that make these false assumptions come off like little teeny boppers. Go worship Brittney Spears or something.
So tense, especially when talking about Pat. Also, Krist is hot here.
Thanks for posting
Joaquin Luqui fue el primer periodista musical que habló de Nirvana ya en diciembre de 1991, cuando en España eran desconocidos aun. En febrero de 1992 escribía maravillas de Nirvana y en 1993 entrevistó a Kurt Cobain en Seattle. Ellos conocian a Joaquin. En paz descansen Joaquin y Kurt.
Background guy digging for gold @8:16
Dave wants to wear kurts jacket.
Ps: its up in the air about the future of Nirvana.
This interview has a few tell tells..
Now I’m in 5th Course of Piano: I have to study more than last year, when I was in 4th Course!!!!!!!!!!!!:)XBárbara L.G.❤️🎹❤️
They're being interviewed by a Spanish radio station called 40 principales (in reference to the unknown source)
The unknown source is because we don´t know who recorded it or who uploaded.
the band is in very good spirits... contrary to what many have said about this time period.
Thanks very much!
The quality is great, shame Kurt wasn't in it. Not as a disrespect to Krist or Dave.
8:26...That would of been awesome !! Lollapalooza 1994 was the best line up
Kurt estava se dropando ! Dave tenso não sabendo se ia ter show ou não . Tudo podia acontecer e Chris nunca acreditou na fama e em nada disso , sempre ali brincando com tudo …. Nirvana !
Mas se essa entrevista foi no dia 02/07/94 kurt já não estava morto ?
5:12 Dave’s angelic voice
Thanks for this
GRACIAS!!!!
How everything going? Nice upload. Krist surely was on form, haha
La última vez que estuvieron en Madrid. Kurt lamentablemente ya nmo acudía a las entrevistas. Mientras, escribía sus diarios en los que hablaba de su adicción a la heroína...
30th anniversary 1994-2024
Kurt was having huge issues at this time. It's so heartbreaking.
Two months after this, almost to the exact date, Kurt was gone.
5:12 was perfect hahahahah Didn't know Dave could sing opera
Krist is Kurts old friend and it comes across in this interview! You can tell with retrospect that things are not going well. Krist is trying to keep moral up,dave is being dave.
Joaquín Luqui anda por ahí, qué tiempos...
Eyyy Joaquin!! Colegueo entre Luqui y Dave, Krist diciendo Joa-quin; y la presentadora diciendo que han preguntado por ti (Joaquin Luqui) nada más llegar! No entendia que hacia Nirvana en en los 40, ahora lo entiendo
At 0:56 it seems as if they really didn't want to be there. Interviewer: "Together. Together alone..." The close-up of Chris is heart-breaking. It's like when you go to a family gathering and people ask how your partner is and you say "Good," knowing that things aren't good between you two...
It's really sad to hear them talk about their plans for the summer that year, what a shame
Damn krist look absolutely amazing during 94, so handsome 😭
they look like 2 widows of a failed arranged marriage
Crazy to see them still being their typical selves when the band was slowly running out of steam.. Kurt at this point of February of 94 was on a different planet than the rest of the band
Anyone else get the vibe something went down within the band right before the interview? Krist is acting a bit over the top at beginning, like when you get a rush of emotion you're trying to process, plus there's that little interaction between him at Dave at 1:10 plus their jabs at Kurt during the interview
Crazy that Kurt was over both of these guys by this time. I can kinda see why tho
Kurt wanted to do drugs period. But yeah those guys seemed over it already.
I don't blame him for not showing up.
It's pretty lame having to pretend to be "pals" with these radio people.
Krist and Dave could handle it because
they were naturally goofy and hilarious.
Kurt was funny too, but more privately funny.
Imagine being exhausted already and your Record Label promised some radio station in some foreign country that you'd show up on one of your days off and have a camera shoved in your face with a hundred repetitive questions behind it. I wouldn't show up either.
Can't blame him.
I doubt Kurt was taking some kind of principled stand against radio interviews (earlier in his career he was clearly fine with them, and he definitely had a goofy side to him too), but he was just seriously unwell in many ways at this time. He could have been high, he could have been withdrawing, he could have been doubled over with stomach cramps, he could have been confined to bed with crippling depression, or some kind of combination of the above. He was just fucked up.
So edgy lol, Kurt simply wasnt friends with Dave and Krist here anymore for acting like a heroin brat and trying to fire them from Nirvana
Bro there wasnt that much thought put into it. He was just holed up somewhere shooting up. If he hadnt killed himself he would have gone the way of Layne Staley
6:08 Не знал что Венедиктов брал интервью у Нирваны
Wow, the audio of this interview is really good. Masterpiece of engineering.
its not if 1994 was the stoneage, i know dumb millenials/generation lost think it was
@@klaasj7808 What the hell has the bad audio of this interview got to do with when you were born? I think old and young realise that it sucks.
Krist was extra cute here I love his outfit
Oh wow! I did't know that this video lasted so long...
They talking about summer festivals, new weird album....and just in month everything crushed...
