Do you think it would have taken this long if it wasn’t for the incident when he threw his bass in the air and hit himself in the face?

I still use tape. I used it last night to pull a radio show that interviewed my doom metal band, Ov Moros (shameless plug :), and played a bunch of songs off our new album.

If you haven’t ever seen Nirvana.Live.Tonight.Sold out. at that Paramount Theater from 1991 you have to check it out. You really see the band at their musical best and Krist just fills up so much space with his Gibson SD and Ampeg SVT. He is a great person not afraid to speak his mind even if it may not be popular with the masses. He is a great American, a massively underrated musician that deserves to be mentioned among all the classic players.

    I'm sure this has been mentioned already but there were no black DS-1s in the 80s. That was a recent special edition. It's far more likely that it's a Boss HM-2. DS-1s are also pretty terrible on bass, but the HM-2 works well.

    35:26 & how serendipitous It WAS, that he ended up using Ernie's guitar, because of what Kurt plays in the intro. Those "chime sounds" as he & Dave called them, are achieved by picking random strings above the neck, below the tuning pegs. Now I'm not sure why this seems to be the case, but nearly every guitar I've ever picked up, acoustic or electric, have a completely different, seemingly random set of tones & notes produced from picking on that area... ALL that to say: how fucking enormous were the odds, that the 1 guitar Ernie just so happened to have in his car, had a "chime" section that produced notes in the EXACT same key as You Know Your Right?!? 😳

    The original boss DS-1s where orange the black paint job was a limited edition color they did for the 40th anniversary of it's introduction. I think the only black pedals boss made at that time was the HM-2 Heavy Metal distortion and the "digital Metalizer" which is a distortion with built in chorus. I doubt the black pedal is a ds-1 unless it was painted
