Me too. He’s seems pretty humble. He was fired, but he didn’t go on to create a successful band called Megadeath, still remain bitter for decades and trash the band and his replacement. He’s got nothing but good things to say. Much respect for him
@@user-kw5ze5ky5q Well Dave Mustaine does in a sense have a right to be angry with Metallica (James and Lars in particular). They kicked him out while across the entire country away from home by waking him up from his sleep and handing him a bus ticket knowing he had zero dollars to his name. Then they STEAL his music/guitar riffs and profit millions of dollars from and to this day never acknowledge that or ever even apologized. I'd be pretty pissed off too. He's made peace with it since and he's gone on to make MUCH better music than Metallica could ever dream of making.
Their singer died so there are no more members unless they get a new singer and that guy from Foo Fighters dies so Chad can join too. So really, he'll probably never be a member again unless maybe he kills himself as well? Poor guys, it must be hard doing so much drug addiction and doing grunge music. Clearly in this interview his mental function is severely diminished from heroin speed balls. Very sad.
@@Tony-wp5lg lol... what. Both are good drummers and critical to nirvanas success. Dave grohl represents growth in the band, chad represents birth of the band. Both vital to the band extremely.
@@alexyordan6172 Neither of them are good drummers. It's all 4/4 basic beat, mid tempo metronome shit. Kurt wasn't a good enough guitarist to keep up with a real drummer like Cozy Powell or Matt Cameron
I agree.. he was part of their foundations, if it wasnt for him (or any other person who crossed paths with Nirvana) we wouldnt have the Nirvana we know today
@@LeNoLi. fucking naive response, chad *WROTE* 90% of the drum lines on nevermind, which dave grohl has confirmed. bleach got them onto geffin to _make_ nevermind with butch vig and have the chance at all that mainstream success. he deserved to be on that stage with krist and dave
@@LeNoLi. he wrote most of the nevermind drumlines, dave grohl played them. that's a fact you apparenty didn't know, so you probably shouldn't comment on smth you know nothing about
@Jay P. Well he had to leave but he did the drums early versions of aero Zeppelin which is not an easy song to play on drums. And if you listen to school played at Krist Novoselics mum's house with Chad it's better than Dave's version and it's very fast so he was a pretty good drummer! Chad, Kurt and Krist all had differences. Though.
@Jay P. yeah I meant to put it in a different context but you're right about Krist and Kurt not kicking Chad because his drumming though but he's just very underrated and he should have been introduced in the rock and roll hall of fame with Dave and Krist.
your opinion bro, i adore both alice in chains and nirvana, but i gotta say nirvana were far more original, alice in chains was just a modern update of heavy metal and classic rock and they latched onto the grunge movement despite having no punk rock influence at all unlike the real grunge bands like melvins, mudhoney, nirvana, tad, etc.. talent wise, defintely alice in chains are a more technically talented band thats for sure and layne staley was a "better" singer than kurt cobain as well....
On the live album 'From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah', there's a 1989 live version of 'Polly' with more than the cymbals. Channing basically composed the drums for 'In Bloom', 'Breed', 'Lithium', 'Polly' and 'Stay Away'.
Yeah the curse of being in a band right before they became one of the biggest bands ever. It is his claim to fame & I'm sure he still enjoys getting those checks from Bleach...A lot of people like the Chad version of Nirvana best.
He's such a wholesome dude, the bleach album really inspired me to start a band it just filled my passion even more I was amazed at how raw the album was definitely my favorite Nirvana album and will continue to be.
Chad has such a unique swing to his playing. It really helped give Bleach its vibe. The drum sound Endino got is super cool, too. He did an amazing job for such little money.
Chad got a raw deal when it comes to the recognition aspect. He did all the drums on Bleach and was responsible for over half of the drum tracks on Nevermind. Thankfully, Dave Grohl brought this up at the R&R hall of fame induction. Dave just copied most of Chad's drums for that album. Dave is a more technically proficient/tighter drummer, but Channing had that underground style that Nirvana was always meant to have. I'm glad people still bring him up and he's gets some attention. Without Channing, Nirvana would have been very different.
I agree wholeheartedly dude. Listening to Bleach, you can hear Chad's drumming style. It's so powerful and tight, yet has that poppy feel that Kurt yearned for. I'd say the only thing David has over Chad is power but to be a good drummer, you need more than power. Technicality is key in my opinion with a dab of simplicity.
After watching countless interviews and speaches, Dave Grohl has so much respect for this guy. Kurt made the decision to change drummers because Dave was more technically proficient. But Chad was a bad ass drummer. And Bleach is still one of my favourite Nirvana albums.
What I like about this guy is he didn’t say one bad thing about anyone in the band and expressed gratitude for just being a small part on Nirvanas success
Channing is a really kind and honest musician he could’ve easily insulted Cobain because Channing got kicked out and yet he has nothing but praises for his good old bandmate
What a nice and humble guy. The other guys in Nirvana should have REFUSED to accept the induction into the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" until Chad Channing was included!
Chad played on Bleach, some of Incesticide plus he appears on later Nirvana releases too. He happened to be the drummer on possibly my favourite Nirvana track 'Dive.' What a guy!
This interview is done in Estonia, its made during their tour to Tallinn. I recognized the accent (from the interviewer) and Delfi TV : D, anyway a fan here and regrets I didnt go to the concert what was happening just around the corner. Truly amazing people!
I think Kurt would appreciate how Chad's handled himself after everything. He's never really gone overboard. And you got to love that commercial that he's in.
Mr. Channing, I am one of the f****** first generation of Nirvana fans and I want to tell you that you also inspired and influenced my life!!!! I love your playing in bleach, I love your double food machine and I love your dynamic, also today! Man, that‘s f****** live!
This is a spontaneous comment listening to this interview, which is my first experience of hearing and seeing Chad Channing: What a kind and soft-hearted spirit he seems to be!
What a great interview, Bleach is such an important album to me. I remember doing yard work all summer in 7th grade saving up for a drum set. Once I got one I spent all my time drumming along with Chad on Bleach. He really taught me how to drum and for that I'm forever grateful.
Chad looks exactly the same Jaja it's amazing, such a humble guy, I was hoping there would have been a lot more questions towards this interview but it's chill so good to see Chad.
I remember when I first bought bleach. I was in eighth grade and I was really trying to go deeper into music and I really loved nirvana at the time (still fucken do) so I went to my local record store and asked the clerk what nirvana albums he had in the store. He said he only had unplugged and in utero but he said he could special order one of my choice. He showed me all their albums and played a track from bleach. I think it was Floyd the barber and at that moment when the song ended I was like. Dude order me bleach I’ve never heard anything like that ever it’s like punk and a million different other things I can’t pinpoint cause I’m a fucken dumbass 8th grader. A week later I go back to the store, pick up the album and go back home. I popped that shit straight into my CD player and listened to it for 2 weeks straight. Those two weeks were pretty much heaven for my ears tbh
He's aged amazingly well! I love Chad's place in the history of Nirvana. As much as Grohl owned the drums, Bleach was a great album, in it's own right. I really liked how sincere he was in his answer about touring. Anyone who's been in a band--especially if the band went nowhere--knows that the priceless moments come less from on-stage, and more off-stage. There's something sentimental, in the fantasy of trying to emulate your favourite influences. Nirvana was a huge one for me, as a teenager, in 1991.
"Let's jump into the music of today, the music of right now....do you think there is a band or an artist that will, um, be as iconic as Nirvana is now." Chad was handed a pretty meaningless question, and had every right to be irritated. Instead, he just smiled, took it in stride, and answered as well as he could. I think that's the definition of gracious.
Chad is no mere "fifth Beatle" to Nirvana - track down his album with The Methodists. You'll be doing yourself a nice favor :) I was just a Nirvana superfan that tracked it down for curiosity, and was surprised to turn up such a gem. Despite preferring it to Bleach, I still think Chad was the perfect fit for Nirvana's early songs
We Love You CHAD!!! You rule :D We've got lots of footage of that tour and that van here on UA-cam, preserving your work and coolness for all eternity. Love and peace forever,
Chad is still the same kid he always was. I love his beautiful, sweet smile, as much as his drumming. This is my favourite Chad's sentence, "If you work hard at something persevere you never know what's gonna happen, it's definitely showed me that music is definitely everlasting, and it will just continue to go, long after I leave this earth."
i love that he isn’t butthurt about him getting replaced. he’s just happy to have been part of it at some point. great guy.
Me too. He’s seems pretty humble. He was fired, but he didn’t go on to create a successful band called Megadeath, still remain bitter for decades and trash the band and his replacement. He’s got nothing but good things to say. Much respect for him
@@user-kw5ze5ky5q well, Megadeth is an hell of a band so... we got lucky on that one.

It made him rich 🤑 it’s a sweetener
No matter what, Chad will always be a member of Nirvana

After all these years he kinda still looks the same. What a cool guy.
yep, even his hair and sweater are 90's :D
he looks the same as he did in 1989
@purry So Kurt Cobain Would still be Attractive.
Coz he didnt use drugs thats y he doesnt look older
Except he’s got old man eyebrows. (It comes to us all..)
This guy will always represent that underground grungy garage band Nirvana that Kurt liked so much
To me Chad was not that great at drums but that's what is great about him he added something raw to Nirvana

Nirvana didn't went mainstream
Mainstream went Nirvana
i think we can all agree that chad should've been there on stage in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
I agree.. he was part of their foundations, if it wasnt for him (or any other person who crossed paths with Nirvana) we wouldnt have the Nirvana we know today
Nirvana wasn't going to make the RRHOF from just bleach. nevermind made them legends.

jesus christ he looks almost the same way he did in 1989... yet he's almost 30 years older.
Ofc no
Nah his eye brows tho
Damn, his brows are much more brushy than before but the voice remains the same.
Absolutely! He aged incredibly well. Never went bald either : )
Yep! Seems like if you get super popular the touring, drugs, booze and fame ages someone badly. Seems like he got to live a low key life.
He still having the true spirit of the band : the sincerity
Would love to see a Nirvana reunion with Chad on drums
Chad seems very humble and down to earth. Hope his royalty checks are keeping him financially secure.
His networth is about $5,000.000. Good for him!
Thank God. Good for him
Not that it's anybody business but a quick Google search has it at more like 1 million, could be 5 million though I guess.
He seems more humble and nicer than dave.
@Chris Slint all you guys seem to know dave grohl pretty well to judge him so badly. Except that you DONT. F00L
I can see why Kurt and Krist liked and got along with him
@Jay P. Chad left he didn't get kicked he was about to though.
@Jay P. If you Google chad said in a different interview that he was about to get kicked so he left.
@Jay P. Well he had to leave but he did the drums early versions of aero Zeppelin which is not an easy song to play on drums. And if you listen to school played at Krist Novoselics mum's house with Chad it's better than Dave's version and it's very fast so he was a pretty good drummer! Chad, Kurt and Krist all had differences. Though.
@Jay P. yeah I meant to put it in a different context but you're right about Krist and Kurt not kicking Chad because his drumming though but he's just very underrated and he should have been introduced in the rock and roll hall of fame with Dave and Krist.
@Jay P. yeah Channing played stuff on incesticide aswell but that's all compilation stuff from the 80s.
I love Chad Channing. He is as cool as the other side of the pillow.
John Campagnoly: I never heard that one before. I'm gonna use your "cool as the underside of a pillow" analogy. Thanks.
great cure for insomnia
family guy didn't come up w it. it was in a TV show, then a sports caster said it
My pillow is buckwheat, so both sides are equally cool.
i love this comment ^^
Nirvana will always be relevant, because you can't fake sincerity
LifesmythTV Yeah, Kurt bared his soul like no other. He sacrificed himself for music.
LifesmythTV yawn... Alice is better
your opinion bro, i adore both alice in chains and nirvana, but i gotta say nirvana were far more original, alice in chains was just a modern update of heavy metal and classic rock and they latched onto the grunge movement despite having no punk rock influence at all unlike the real grunge bands like melvins, mudhoney, nirvana, tad, etc.. talent wise, defintely alice in chains are a more technically talented band thats for sure and layne staley was a "better" singer than kurt cobain as well....
Of course you can fake sincerity you thicko
Lol! If you only knew!
He’s a class act. He comes across as just a real nice dude in every interview I’ve seen him do.
Agree
He's aged very well
Xavier Roberts agreed
Better than Dave or Krist for sure
dougthealligator krist maybe but dave just aged.
Greg Rohs Dave looks like a grandma
He has the hair of a 30 yr old
Chad Channing's influence on 'Nevermind' is underrated.

Philip Garcia dummy
Great sound on Bleach and incesticide but most importantly....he's not to blame for the Foo Fighters.
First Last hahaha
@@FirstLast-cf4mi Haha, underrated comment. As cool as Dave is, I don't like FF that much, besides a couple of songs.
You gotta hand it to Chad for being so cool, People must just bug and bug him about Nirvana, But hes so cool about it

ass
ass
yeah even kurt and krist talked so much about how great of a guy chad was and is, and hes a better drummer than he gets credit for.....
He really does comes across as genuine, sensitive, modest, and intelligent.
He's such a wholesome dude, the bleach album really inspired me to start a band it just filled my passion even more I was amazed at how raw the album was definitely my favorite Nirvana album and will continue to be.
how it's called? :D

eyebrows are metal
He can fly with those

well, Dale Crover did Floyd the Barber and Paper Cuts, they were taken from the first demo, but yeah the rest is all Chad
He's only on 'Polly'
Let him drum while Dave grohl sings for a new Nirvana
@@davidonzahwah3777 That's a thought.
Chad deserves a lot of credit for helping to lay the foundations of the band's style. Without him, Nirvana would never have sounded like Nirvana.
That’s really true.
"What is your brightest memory of that time span of your life?"
"Probably when I fell in the fountain of youth and haven't aged a day since."
Who found it first, him or Paul Rudd?

"This is off of our first record. Most people don't own it." -Kurt
I always thought he's saying "most people don't know it".
@@blackdeath5134 I was today years old to find out it was own. :)
And yet it still got a decent pop. Maybe Kurt was wrong
I have it ITunes and LP! I loveeee Bleach!!
Thank you for getting the quote right
What I like about this guy is he didn’t say one bad thing about anyone in the band and expressed gratitude for just being a small part on Nirvanas success
Hes not small part..hes a half embrio of nirvana
Never heard Chad speak! Seems like a cool guy
I legitimately thought this footage was from about 00s but damn it's 2018!!! He hasn't aged a bit
Channing is a really kind and honest musician he could’ve easily insulted Cobain because Channing got kicked out and yet he has nothing but praises for his good old bandmate
It’s nice to see Chad after all this time! Nirvana needed Ghrol to ascend to where they ended up, but Chad played a VERY important part of the legacy.
As did Dale Crover and Jason Everman, to a lesser extent.
"Ascend"? Kurt died at 27...
@Brian Sharp
Yah, I'm sure they would have loved that lol.
What a nice and humble guy. The other guys in Nirvana should have REFUSED to accept the induction into the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" until Chad Channing was included!
Kalle72 totally he plays for the band like 2 years
Kalle72 the first couple of years definitely the hardest
But kudos to Dave for mentioning him and his influence and work
Kalle72 Well then you would have to get Jason Everman, Aaron Burckhard, Bob McFadden, and Dale Crover
Definitely because the 25 yr prerequisite to get into the HOF was based on Bleach being released.
chad is a total class act....and a hugely underrated drummer and musician!
dave is 1 of the most overated musicians of the last 50 years
"Bleach" is still my favorite Nirvana-release and it wouldn't be the same without Chad. 🎶 🖤
Oh man what a Nice and awesome guy! Long live to Chad!
Gotta love Chad, he seems like a great person. And his drumming on Bleach is awesome.
A good man.
A GREAT man!
He hasn't aged a day and thank for being so open about your story in the band
Looks are the canary in the mineshaft
for his age, he looks good with long hair. not many can pull it off
Yeah, because not many men his age have hair in the first place
Why would anyone even want to pull his hair off in the fist place??? Terrible 😔
@@RemixedVoice John Romero
it's a shame that he was not included in the rock hall of fame...Even dave mentioned him and most of the songs of bleach and in bloom is his work
Awesome guy! Bleach is my favorite album to this day!
Floyd the Barber's here again
Satanic Panic
best Nirvana album
Diffently Bleach is the best Nirvana Album ever song on it kicks so much ass.
They should of kept him.
Chad made them great!!! So under appreciated but whatever. Bleach best album
Finally a decent interview with Chad. What a nice guy
Chad played on Bleach, some of Incesticide plus he appears on later Nirvana releases too. He happened to be the drummer on possibly my favourite Nirvana track 'Dive.' What a guy!
Chad only played part of Bleach as well.
Yea man thats a song with the coolest power riff...you get the bass rite and man it rocks...beavis and butthead know this too😂
I'll always remember Chad for his brilliant effort on Bleach! He's looking very well and very down to earth.

Still
He's wise and humble. Love him.
So well-spoken and humble. Really enjoyed listening to Chad
Chad is not a pretentious man but an extremely exceptional one
You can just tell that this is a good guy. You don’t get to be his age and have your eyes be that bright and shiny still!
I wanna see a movie about Chad's life - love his vibe. He's Seen Things and Been There. The lack of spite is so inspiring.
Chad is amazing drummer I liked his works in Bleach . You helped Nirvana and you always remain important member of Nirvana.
I want what ever Chad is having, he still looks exactly the same as he did all those years ago!
