In this interview, the trio share their thoughts about being dubbed the "Godfathers of Grunge," insights about their songwriting process and Buzzo's recent acoustic solo album. June 22, 2015.

    Buzz Osbourne; Thank you for making Kurt that tape that turned him onto punk. Thank you for putting Dave Grohl in touch with Kurt and Krist. Most of all, thank you for defending Kurt against all the bullshit people are being fed about him/his death. The only other "famous" person who has balls enough to talk about the Cobain death honestly is Fat Mike and the guys from NOFX. Props.

    Grunge is so loosely defined anyways. Soundgarden and Alice In Chains had a metal influence, Pearl Jam was more of the 70s stadium rock type band, and Nirvana was more like an alternative band with a big punk influence much like the Pixies. The only reason these groups are associated as playing the same type of music is mostly due to where they came from and when they emerged.

    • @jmorrisey79
      @jmorrisey79 6 років тому +95

      Ty Manning - I agree. Grunge was a title slapped on the "Seattle Sound" by media outlets. Most of the bands didn't even acknowledge grunge as a genre. Kurt Cobain hated the term.

    • @Turk_2023
      @Turk_2023 6 років тому +25

      Yea I don`t think PJ liked the grunge title too much, they were quick to change their sound and kept doing it pretty much each record...Eddie even changed his singing style around No Code... When I think of grunge it is usually either early Nirvana Bleach era, or AIC`s self titled album.....2 totally different sounds but both kind of sludgy and grungy.

It was just disrespectful in my opinion.

    ??
    But she seems like a total liar and eerily like Courtney. they say some people marry someone like their parents? well the two of them seem exactly the same. lying about themselves pathologically, and lying about their relationships with Kurt.

His friends at age 16/17 (I think that's the age he was sort of talking about) were guys like Jesse Reed and Steve Shillinger, and a bit later, when he hang around The Melvins rehearsals, Buzz, Dale, Matt Lukin and Krist Novoselic.
      Having read 6 or 7 books on Nirvana, these same names keep coming up.
      Not 'Trevor', 'Darren' or 'Ace'. It appears this was some joke story. He didn't have any friends at high school that he would hang out with, basically being a loner there.
