Nirvana's post show interview on August 23, 1991 at Reading Festival. Think this is all floating around in clips but some are out of sync/misplaced/etc.
Re: "Why is Kurt supposed to be hurt"? - Watch the very end of their performance from earlier in the day to see why: czcams.com/video/Ps0ofF1j5Ag/video.html
When you interview Kurt alone, you never know what you’re gonna get. If you’re lucky, you might get a fantastic, sincere interview. But if you interview the whole band, there is a 100% chance you are going to get a Krist Novoselic troll fest.
All you have to do is take the time beforehand to think of MORE INTERESTING QUESTIONS, and to be more EMPATHETIC with the band during the actual interview, so that if it obviously becomes a STUPID QUESTION that the band don't want to answer, you change tack and try to ask something a bit BETTER THOUGHT-OUT that they might actually WANT to answer.....
@@colinluckens9591 I’m amazed looking through these Nirvana interviews at how insanely stupid the interviewers’ questions are! 100% of the questions are superficial and borderline insulting I can see why Kurt was always so annoyed.
pretty stupid cliche questions though the guy kind of deserved it. guess there wasnt much info out for him to study before hand but still. they literally asked if the other guy could interview them, I love these interviews with them I kind of just recently rediscovered these
@@redplague yeah wouldnt want to learn anything from hearing someone talk about things that are new to us... listening to interviews is a great way to find new bands/movies/books etc
@@bardotons Well each to their own I guess. Personally I'd rather them answer the question that's asked rather than him going off at a tangent babbling.
@@xtreme-321 very sad in a way, from here it went downhill.. from what I've read, this was the period where Kurt was the most happy with life and the band, touring with Sonic Youth, just recorded a brilliant album, but once it blew up far bigger then anyone expected, things got weird
It was against school policy but so many people would say that their hero just died & they don't care anymore that they stopped enforcing it. Not at all, I realize, unlike the transagenda victims threatening to off themselves if they didn't get to wear what they wanted.
@@Errcyco I would take that as a compliment? He was always gorgeous in my eyes. Im sure you have been called worse? The fact he didn't even know it makes him so much more attractive. 😊
@@breathingunderwater3094 not true, many bands at this time had as great or better songs and were as tight or better. to get as big as nirvana is pure luck.
Crazy to think about how these 3 disinterested goobers were about 2 months away from blowing up, becoming the biggest band in the world, becoming millionaires, and having the trajectory of their lives changed forever.
@@toxicswim8110 I know..i was just being an ass... I just am amazed how some people actually think he's got more talent than the late great KURT COBAIN... BOTH HOLD TALENT BEYOND NORMAL MAN..BUT IN NO WAY IS HE ABOVE KURT ON MY SCALE...

Just turned 62 a couple months ago. If it weren't for living through a plague this summer, I'd be at every show & festival I could get to. Instead, I bought big speaker's so I can rock out at home.
No kidding. If I had to listen to some clueless moron drone on about the band name and ask the same stupid questions all day long I'd want to kill myself too.
@@H3nrySwans0n Yeah you said it!!🙄🙄🙄.....if you ask a question and the band obviously doesn't want to pick up on it, you MOVE ON and try to ask a MORE INTERESTING QUESTION.....
in this interview it seems like dave and kurt were opposites in personality. Dave is polite and fairly engaged when he speaks, whereas Kurt for the most part is only sarcastic and condescending. they also don't look at each other much, even though Kurt looks at Krist all the time. This interview makes me suspect that there was tension between Kurt and Dave, and that Krist was the glue holding them all together. There are a few points when Kurt and Krist are having a "moment" and Dave looks away or has a dark look on his face. Kurt may have been slow to warm up to Dave and treat him the same as Krist. Keep in mind that at the time of this interview Kurt had known Krist for about 6 years and had already gone through handfuls of band members together with him, and had known Dave for only a year (maybe less).
@@portlandgoose4727 that's true. Kurt and Krist were close people but that doesn't make me sorry for Dave. I like them all, they were great as a band. I believe, later both Dave and Krist didn't feel so related to Kurt because of Courtney and drugs. They just were tired of that. I think they still feel sorry for that.
Yeah agreed- once he had it, he realized he kind of hated it and didn’t want it anymore. He was always a guy full of contradictions anyway It could also be that he wanted to be bigger just so he could share his music with a larger audience, but he didn’t actually care about the fame just reaching more people
He knew how good they were, the fame was just a matter for people to come to their senses but he couldn't have imagined the severity of what fame brought, fuck it tho Nirvana is eternal
So genuine. No eagerness to please the interviewer, just having fun, not a care in the world what this could/would do for their career. Beautiful. Pistols were like this, Rotten, early Oasis.
It’s a little heartbreaking to see how happy Kurt was at one stage, but it’s nice that interviews like this are around, from before he felt like he was under the microscope with a target on his back
When you get an interviewer who asks such inane questions, it actually brings out a very interesting side to the band. It's like their answers need have no relation to his questions and they just freeflow stuff out of their minds. Makes for a particularly unique and intersting interview in the end.
Well, not even two years later he was done with all that and wanted different things. To go a different direction musically..was done with his marriage, getting his legal affairs in order without Courtney and flying east but he didn't live long enough to do it.
Every time I watch a Dave Grohl Nirvana interview I can't help but watch how Dave is mimicking an introvert, knowing how funny and extroverted he really is. I assume it's because he feels how Kurt and Krist run so deep that they have a silent bond, and Dave joined "late". Just what I read from looking at his body language and hesitation to speak, whereas Kurt and Krist seem so exempt from hesitation or fear of not being heard/understood. Perhaps Dave just trying to mimic their personalities in respect of the pecking order. Fascinates me.
You hit it right on the nail. He just really cared about what Kurt and krist thought about him especially Kurt you know he was thrid in command but he still took that band to another level they wouldn’t be the same without him idc what anybody says
@@kevenrowe2958 Yeah absolutely. Also just thinking how much constant interview questions about "how did you meet" "how did you come up with the name?" etc would be a constant reminder to Dave that he's not an original member, but of course he went on to fully state his place and help elevate the band massively.
I just feel like he was shy when he was younger, he had a lot of time to get used to the spotlight from the late 80’s to now. People change and they grow
i think it's one of the most hilarious nirvana interviews i've seen, if not the most. Three geniuses, and Chris a real comedian, how nice, he has led the entire interview, I have not stopped laughing, Kurt was also doing badly with laughter because of the giant bassist goblin. Thank you very much for sharing.
Man, was a great time to be a teenager. Great time. A few great great bands through 80s and 90s. Have any new bands after the 90s released more than 1 or 2 albums? And I mean bands, not someone/group rhyming poetry to a beat without a single instrument.
@@highwaytoquail754 man, I hear You. As teenagers we were all in bands. There were times in high school, when I'd be in 3 different bands. I ask my kids, who are now high school age, if there are any bands in their group of peers and they just think I'm really old. I wonder, what the next big thing will be. Something has got to give.
@@dinulechek . To do want one is expected to do , like in difficult conditions to be expressed . English is my second language too. Stay safe & blessings from the Sonoran desert , Mexico .
So weird watching this now as a fully grown adult, I was just a kid when I first discovered them and I thought everything they did was soooooo cool! I can see their immaturity here. But even then, you can see their heart and intelligence, especially Kurt. It was almost like he was embarrassed to be such a deep thinker and felt pressured to goof off in front of his bandmates / friends. Still love Nirvana now, even with a different perspective, they were and always will be incredible. I do think Kurt put a lot more thought into the name, and the lyrics, and all of his art, than he wants anyone to know.
I agree! People forget how hard people back then tried to look like they didn’t care and looking back it was really forced at times. Not to be negative but I just feel like people glorify these times with rose colored glasses and forget that it was a very difficult time to be a teenager and “fit in” back then.
You can see their immaturity but also can't you see how absolutely terrible some interviewers are? I mean, at some point in the interview a sane person would realize, "these guys like joking and don't want to answer the stupid questions I've come up with that they've been asked 3,489 times in the last 2 years, maybe I"ll change course".
8.19-8.25 mins or so literally personifies the relationship between these 3 amazing young men in the time they were in It's literally as emotional and sentimental as men of their time could ever be I've literally bawled my eyes out to that moment on repeat Precious doesn't even come close to describe the magic between these three that will be everlasting due to their combined legacy
Nah. It's something that he does. Still does today. I have really long hair & I have a few things I do with my hair numerous times a day. I just wish I could have met DG back then.
One month after this interview they released Nevermind. I bet at this point they already recorded the album. And could never expect what was waiting for them.
I WAS CRACKING UP THE WHOLE TIME WATCHING THIS & THE WAY KURT & KRIST REACT & THEIR INSIDE JOKES...😉👍 LOVE SEEING KURT CARE FREE & HAPPY!! R.I.P. KURT MISS YOU EVERY DAY...💕😢🎸🎵🎶
Serve the servants, school, sifting, about a girl, dive, scentless apprentice and floyd the barber are all basically unknown songs to people just getting into them or to the outside viewer but these are some of my favorites. You should listen if you already love them!
In all their interviews it seems like they were very annoyed answering questions about details that could be left for interpretation. It was probably a requirement to do it, nothing they would do by choice.
@@sethp1624 Exactly. Like, I can tell you what my song means to me, but I'd rather hear what you have to say and what you think this line is about and so on
Seth, they chose to do it... it’s called selling out... all good, but maybe kirt could haved enjoyed the perks, Instead of pretending to be so anti. They went corporate commercial. $$$$ Big bucks... kert suffered from Imposter Syndrome. Just admit it Ted.
For all his goofiness, Krist is a super-intelligent dude. He threw so much crazy energy into Nirvana, but also gave really thoughtful insights into their approach in interviews.
Dave has said he lived in constant fear of being fired by Kurt. That's why he always stayed quiet. Who can blame him, Dave was like the 6th drummer or something.
That's because he saw the world for what it is. Money means nothing. Success is determined by other's. Self gratification is determined by your own heart and soul.
@@StuartFuckingLittle Then, by your logic, Nirvana's success was not their own. Money allows for freedom - just ask the folks living on the edge of poverty in Aberdeen, WA. And the DELAY of gratification is how one develops to find greater achievement.

When you get an interviewer who asks such inane questions, it actually brings out a very interesting side to the band. It's like their answers need have no relation to his questions and they just freeflow stuff out of their minds. Makes for a particularly unique and intersting interview in the end.
Kurt seems like a disinterested semi-domesticated cat. Totally done with everything there is to offer. Lah-dee-friggin-dah.
Well, not even two years later he was done with all that and wanted different things. To go a different direction musically..was done with his marriage, getting his legal affairs in order without Courtney and flying east but he didn't live long enough to do it.
He was addicted to heroin. He just wanted to escape and have his fix.
That was the early 90s, everyone acted like that.
He was just over it in general.
it was part of his act. he wanted fame - and once he got it he acted punk rock by pretending to not be interested in it. All an act..
This interview hands down shows the true friendship of these guys. Love it

Precious doesn't even come close to describe the magic between these three that will be everlasting due to their combined legacy
Seeing Kurt happy and laughing makes me happy and laugh
Kurt says, "sit down...", in this irritated voice. Im dead.
Ikr, he almost sounds like an irritated parent telling their kid to sit still
Nothing more comforting than watching a nirvana interview in the early days while rolling a joint
Best part of nirvana is that they are real on camera
Nirvana is on the verge of exploding and are just enjoying the early fruits of success. What a beautiful moment
13:52
Krist: *Falls down*
Kurt: "Ow! You broke my arm."
Krist: "Hey, fuck you man!"
Cameron from Ferris Bueller really carries this interview
Hahahahah YES! Identical 🤣🤣🤣 just noticed that
"It will be he household word in no time” -kurt
Well he was painfully correct
And Still! All these years later. My 10 year old loves Nirvana.
"Did you know it is illegal to smoke a flower..." 🤣😂
Dave is obsessed with his hair looking good
Nah. It's something that he does. Still does today. I have really long hair & I have a few things I do with my hair numerous times a day. I just wish I could have met DG back then.
I mean he has really cool hair
drink a glass of water every time kurt says “oh i’m supposed to be hurt”. you will be hydrated
I can really tell they were thrilled to do this interview.
One month after this interview they released Nevermind. I bet at this point they already recorded the album. And could never expect what was waiting for them.
I WAS CRACKING UP THE WHOLE TIME WATCHING THIS & THE WAY KURT & KRIST REACT & THEIR INSIDE JOKES...😉👍
LOVE SEEING KURT CARE FREE & HAPPY!!
R.I.P. KURT MISS YOU EVERY DAY...💕😢🎸🎵🎶
😊😊😊
Miss a guy you never knew? Ok.
@ropey bird uh. No
11:43 is so fucking funny, and the way the interviewer just says “..ok” after all of that
"It will be a household word in no time."
How right Kurt was...
8:20 awww
14:14 "Sit down. Sit down! Sit on the floor!"
Idk why but the way Kurt said that was funny
marijuana has done more for my memory than i can remember- Krist Novasellic
This interview never gets old.
They’re so chaotic😹
I LOVE ITTTTTTTT
hey krist is wearing a dinosaur jr shirt
Duh
I just became a nirvana fan, like today and I heard Kurts voice like the second he opened his mouth I fell in love
Serve the servants, school, sifting, about a girl, dive, scentless apprentice and floyd the barber are all basically unknown songs to people just getting into them or to the outside viewer but these are some of my favorites. You should listen if you already love them!
lol hes dead
@@shid6930 ikr hehe
HARRRRY AND KURT
Just listen to everything
.... It eon take long to do.
so great that new full uncut videos like this are still turning up...every one gives us another glimpse into the genius. Thank you!
Dave lighting Kurts joint seemed so wholesome ❤️
I like krist’s long hair
yeah it suited him better
Lautaro Lencina aww, that’s a little sad for Krist. You shouldn’t say this joke because it can come off offensive
Lautaro Lencina yeah tru
Looks like jades boyfriend in victorious
may vana omg I searched it and he actually does! 😂
Kurt before success, fatherhood and courtney.
Courtney ruined him
Heroin*
He was with her at this time and they literally just had their daughter
@@jackjack3722 No, Frances was born in 1992.
@@Nina-ki4ye It was Kurt's choice to leave Tracy Mirander. She cared for him like a mother.
Some _really_ rare laughs from Kurt in this video.
Kurts Goofy side is often overlooked
“Punk is just money”
Dave was the little brother for sure
@@grahamjarman 75% man
Everyone involved looks fed up with this interview
In all their interviews it seems like they were very annoyed answering questions about details that could be left for interpretation. It was probably a requirement to do it, nothing they would do by choice.
@@sethp1624 Exactly. Like, I can tell you what my song means to me, but I'd rather hear what you have to say and what you think this line is about and so on
People want to know and define everything when you should just let art be.
It was part of the style at the time. You were obliged to get annoyed at the interviewer.
Seth, they chose to do it... it’s called selling out... all good, but maybe kirt could haved enjoyed the perks, Instead of pretending to be so anti. They went corporate commercial. $$$$ Big bucks... kert suffered from Imposter Syndrome. Just admit it Ted.
Watching a nirvana interview is so uncomfortable lmaooo
@Mara L why?
Mara L why they’re literally all best friends and love messing with the media
Cuz Kurt’s dead ^
And Dave is loud now
Also Krist isn’t lively anymore
For all his goofiness, Krist is a super-intelligent dude. He threw so much crazy energy into Nirvana, but also gave really thoughtful insights into their approach in interviews.
Dave is so beautiful
🤣🤣🤣
@Casey storen, I agree. Whether yesterday or today. I just wish I could have met DG back then. I would have rocked his world. Still would...
Personally, I believe he's not attractive in the slightest.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Especially that fkd up jaw and that he belches in EVERY interview I've watched with him.
What a gem!💎
Krist: “Marujiana has done more for my memory than I can remember”
Kurt was so goofy in this interview I loved it tbh 😭💅🏽
i feel like sometimes krist and kurt roll their eyes when dave says dorky things 😂
It was like a game of poker and Dave was just sitting there with a Royal Flush the whole time.
Sarcastically, "It will be a household word (Nirvana) any day now". How right you were, Kurt.
Dave was absolutly the outsider
Sitting on the edge rolling his joint 😂
He was new to the band there. Kurt had only just fired Chad Channing.
With a letter that basically said, “You’re not in the band anymore. Bye”
@@oddunb6190 1990 he joined
@@oddunb6190 no Krist and Kurt both drove to Chad's house to break the news to him
Dave has said he lived in constant fear of being fired by Kurt. That's why he always stayed quiet. Who can blame him, Dave was like the 6th drummer or something.
13:38 I fucking love Krist and his humour, best thig ever, and Kurts reaction, ugh lov it so much :D
Chris is a hilarious man, love his sense of humor !!!
Me too
I love how the money from the scholarship meant nothing to kurt, he just shrugs off the fact he could've had a couple extra thousand
The fact that he dropped out of high school two weeks before graduation is hilarious
That's because he saw the world for what it is. Money means nothing. Success is determined by other's. Self gratification is determined by your own heart and soul.
@@Danjoker. Pathetic, actually.
@@StuartFuckingLittle Then, by your logic, Nirvana's success was not their own.
Money allows for freedom - just ask the folks living on the edge of poverty in Aberdeen, WA. And the DELAY of gratification is how one develops to find greater achievement.
@@NickNicometi You could have all the money in the world, but if you have no talent won’t get anywhere.
