it is about kurt and krist...he didnt even know them, he packed up his drum set and left to live there, it was a one bedroom apartment, and it was small as hell, and the shitty guitar was kurts guitar, he had his guitar from when he was a kid, and thats what he was playing on...so yes, it is about kurt
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
to all you people who claim this is about kurt cobain, it's not. When it was written, dave knew kurt for about...a few months? not even a month? The song is about Dave. "He plays an old guitar". Sound familiar? "I wrote this song on this old shitty guitar".
He has said several times that this is about Kurt and Krist. Kinda retarded to think that you know more then Dave what he writes about. "He says Nevermind" ?
alright i get the fact that dave misses kurt but not every song he writes is about Kurt cobain,Krist noveselic, and Nirvana yes i am a huge foo fighters and Nirvana fan but he yas other stuff going on also he still dreams about him and Kurt writing and hanging out together i heard it on sirius sattelite radio
dave said he heard kurt saying that he doesnt like daves way of drumming so dave always offered kurt to throw him out of the band but kurt always said no. why didnt kurt throw him out of the band? does anyone know the whole story?
took this from wikipedia....."Knowing how much Cobain and Novoselic liked Grohl's drumming, Osborne gave Novoselic's phone number to Grohl. Novoselic invited Grohl to Seattle, where Grohl attended Nirvana's infamous show at the Motor Sports Garage, the one Nirvana show that featured Dan Peters on drums."
Dude, what do you expect Dave to do after Cobain died? Just pack away his instruments, and never play again? I applaud Dave for continuing on, in his own way. Not everybody may like the Foo Fighters, but at least Dave has soldiered on and made the most out of a bad situation. Kurt Cobain was certainly very talented, but he's not here anymore, is he? Dave's still alive and kicking, and I'm glad he's still making music.
He said he wrote the song about 15 years ago about two new people he just met lets see 15 years ago from 2006 is 1991 give or take a a year, OH WAIT! dave grohl joined Nirvana in 1990, kurt and krist were kinda weird! he talks in another vid about using kurts old beaten up acoustic to write songs! nuambers is a dumbass! and scream was a 5 man band if i remember correctly, (if not then 4 for sure).
He was talking about Kurt when he wrote the line "Hes never been in love". Like Dave says in this clip, he was talking about the beginning of his relationship with Kurt (& Krist), which was before Kurt and Courtney met.
what is the tranciption`for this, Im not sure about this, but where was him when CObain returned to seatlle in April 94`?,; I thougg hed pla`MArygold`, he said he wrote it circa 1990 `?? mmm, I Dont knwo, Ive heard better songs of FOo`, Grohl: I Dont know wha tto think, I think I prefer NOvo`
god dave is so amazing. i love him so much i want to cry :(

Yeah, Kurt and Christ actually loved Dave's drumming.
He was the one who thought his style would kinda mess up Nirvana's chemistry and style, so that's why he kept a lot of his drumming simple.
