Prank Call From Madonna's Manager To Evan Dando (By Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, Steve Albini)

[Justeatmytoast]

What the hell...someone put this into internet?

[bg11215]

this is lame and boring.

[kellierose0]

0:33 when He said " I'm gonna beat off to this" Was he really masturbating? I heard moaning.

[Milkit94]

I'm sorry, call me an idiot. But I don't hear Kurt's voice? Please help.

[bekcs]

hahaha...what? I really don'tunderstand whats going on! and who is evan dando? XD

[mypasswordisgood08]

what did evan dando ever do to kurt cobain

[davegsucks]

oh, that evan dildo!! for fuck sake!!

[wordupassholes]

a whole 90-minute casette with evan on hold waiting for madonna

LOL

[wordupassholes]

2:19 flipper shirt

[CyberSodomy]

who was speaking? was it kurt?

[LilC2012]

all he had to do was say he is Kurt Cobain...

[pelicanmouse]

I was in New Zealand - this is awesome the montage is fantastic

[deadboys1010]

"I'm trying to fill up a 90 minute cassette with Evan Dando on hold waiting for Madonna."

[BigWhiggEntertainmen]

so im not sure of the origin of this....but Im pretty sure this is still listed as the wrong ppl? As long as this is the convo i know of, then the late Hole bassist Kristen Pfaff's brother had a copy of this for sale in which case I dont believe Steve Albini was involved, I do know though that Kristen was with Kurt when the convo took place.....I cant be positive this is the same EXACT convo tho so yea.

[omgroflzpwned]

@BigWhiggEntertainmen guy at 2:30 sounds a lot like Steve.

[NevermindKurt94]

Hey

I changed the title. I'm sorry for the misinformation. The site, where I downloaded the audio track, had a wrong description. I just copied it without listening to it.

Thanks for telling me.

[LilC2012]

kurt and krist are like beavis and butthead

[Justeatmytoast]

@LilC2012 No man, rather like Flip and Flap. Little, nervous, serious guy and big, funny, all time laughing , happy giant guy! C' mon!

[BeezleBoy]

@iamaladycanyousaveme I'm 14 and Teen Spirit is decent compared to the rest of their songs. My favorite I can't tell, but probably Come as you are.

[PieceofMindmusic]

wonder if evan has heard this.......NO ONE TELL HIM!

[2012LuciferRising]

@PieceofMindmusic... Hate to break it to you but not only has Evan heard this he has also commented on it...see prior posts by  "pelicanmouse" =Evan Dando

[PieceofMindmusic]

@2012LuciferRising ah i see..... well at least he's cool with it :]

[paulisdead]

The title of the video should be: Prank Call FROM "Madonna's Manager" (By Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, Steve Albini TO Evan Dando). Thanks for posting though.

[hydrocodone1]

@paulisdead I know. It sounds to me like Kurt, Krist, and Steve are fucking with Evan by posing as modonnas manager and and leaving messages for Evan that madonna would like to talk to him. Hilarious!!!

[zippywaite]

rockstars prank call other rock stars haha

[anestischatzibeis]

hallo motherfuckers hahahahahahha he rules...i bet hes smoking weed and hes messed!:P

[jtxhorns]

kurt was the ultimate cool guy of his generation

[greendaykicksbut1231]

If Kurt did crystal meth he would be scary

[timeruin]

@greendaykicksbut1231 Anyone who does crystal meth looks scary, especially after a few years.

[MiaoPurrington]

@greendaykicksbut1231 Too Late

[TheDuzies]

I have no clue who is calling who...but it is wild nonetheless...

[FuckingStanz]

I bet 95% of you don't realise that Evan Dando's comment is on this video.

[blooman80]

@FuckingStanz what about the other 5%

[pelicanmouse]

@FuckingStanz Under the name - Pelicanmouse - I LOVE THIS !! Them were good times ... The other fellow on my side of the phone line is Alex M. He Road managed us when "the nirv" were on break - He worked on Nirvana's first tour of europe (that was with Tad ) Top man - his brother was in Catalan (sp?) a rock band Cheers e

[NinetiesYouth]

I wanna see all of the clip that starts at 2:20

[localoliver]

what r u talkin' about? i haven't heard neither Krist or Kurt...

Evan, Steve and John (the madonna's assistantt) that's all..

[Justeatmytoast]

@localoliver There was no Madonna's assistant. They were making joke on phone by calling some stars, also Eddie Vedder, at In Utero session. There's something about in shitty Michael Azzerad's book "Come As You Are".

[webcityguy]

I wish it was Krist and Dave who faded - at least the music would be good then. "Foo"s another word for "sht" - right?

[Topazmoon]

@webcityguy Thats Poo, Foo Fighters was a group that was invovled with like UFOs and stuff

[TheBookWorld]

No, You just dont like it.

[milesofsmiles2]

i think the nirvana camp placed a call TO evan dando. this is not really madonna's people or madonna. its albini fucking with dando

[sgilrein]

exactly what reason did these blokes have to feel superior to dando and "prank" him?

seriously, are they in the 8th grade? let's see...dando is still writing songs, and nirvana is selling their dated material to car companies, whilst grohl tours with u2 and the stones.

man, that sure is "punk".

people are the stupidest.

[milesofsmiles2]

evan dando is a footnote and a joke now. he most known for covering simon and garfunkel. nirvana are rock and roll legends like the stones , zeppelin, and the beatles. AND they still have punk credentials. do the math, mannn

[sgilrein]

No, you may be confusing Nirvana with Paul Westerberg or the Pixies.

Nirvana made MTV pop post-punk albums for teens.

Their music is unlikeable today, and they stole radio/broadcast time from people who should have been promoted more heavily.

But, you're entitled to your opinion. And I think Dando is more famous for playing an acoustic and having a precocious drug habit than the insignificant single from Its a Shame about Ray.

[misfitfailure]

@milesofsmiles2 you're an idiot. Evan was buddies with these guys. Steve ALbini is a jackass.

[milesofsmiles2]

@misfitfailure i never judged anyone , why are you calling me an idiot? i was simply stating facts that relate to this prank call based on my knowledge. dont call people idiots for no reason. it makes YOU an idiot.

[meemeesiko57]

Right. Dando is still writing songs for mainstream sellouts and Nirvana, and the album they were recording at the time (In Utero) have gone down as some of the most musically influential people and music in history.

:D

[sgilrein]

What's "mainstream sellout"? Are you going to half-ass Manic Panic your hair and complain about "jocks" that listen to Live next?

1995 called, and it wants your uncomfortable, awkward understanding of the world back.

All I have to say is that Nirvana and Geffen orchestrated a "scandal" w/ fucking WALMART to move units of In Utero.

Fucking Chloe Sevigny is more genuinely "alternative" than Nirvana, dawg.

Grow up.

[meemeesiko57]

1995?

Teehee.

How ironic, as anyone who actually knew what they were talking about would realize. :D

Nirvana introduced Alternative rock to the mainstream market. So whatever alternative artists you care to name owe some of their success to Nirvana.

I listen to LIVE. Good band. :D

But I personally say that closing your mind to any music form without listening to it for a considerable time is ignorant. I give all music a chance, because it deserves it.

If you can't do that, then just go.

[FuckingStanz]

@sgilrein How do you know that was 'orchestrated'? They said they just wanted more kids from small towns who have no choice but to shop at big chains to be able to buy the album.

[ColdChicago]

hey these guys in rock band make celebrity call to madonna and madonna blows them off using one of her underlings... they discuss this for some time, and then mention other celebrities. you have something better to do than this you should do it... man they sure have the big fun.

[Carbon657]

Kurt might not be on the recording but Noveselic definatly is.

[LordInksworth]

who gives a fuck?

[slumsofmecca]

WRIThIng on the hook! ha

[hillmanrocks]

lmao

[zorgono]

put on hold a long time

[0ut0fn0thingdrumer]

lol this literally made me lol! haha tell him prince called! HAHAHAHA

[Kurtck95]

You can barely hear kurt he's like really quiet at 3:10

[spjunkie]

I'm too lazy to read 126 comments to see if this has been said yet, but this a prank call from steve albini and Krist to Evan Dando posing as Madonna's manager telling Evan that Madonna wanted to talk to him then laughing while he's all confused on the line. Courtney love was said to have been in love with him.

[JackHauss]

Oh man, Evan Dildo, I remember him

[Writersblock39]

lol I thought it said prank call to Mcdonalds Manager.

[ThomasMoar]

This is the sort of funny shit that made Kurt a legend.

[lymphnode16]

this wasn't kurt though... he was probably there with them. i could hear krist though ahahaha

[NirvanaDiveinme]

@ThomasMoar no... actually it was his music

[Plozen]

I agree with asherdurand... not worth a video, it isn't funny at all. It was just three minutes of nothing happening.

[jacobladders]

evan dando's an ass

[yukarishingame]

He was a very noising person,he?? XDXD!!

[josh571984]

This is a lie!!

[jurrobear23]

Cobain,Novoselic and Steve Albini pranked that ass hat Evan Dando not Madonna's manager.

[Kurtck95]

Evan Dando was talking they said they were pranking john

[madeyes4u]

@jurrobear23 Thanks for clearing that up for everybody. The title is so wrong here.

[failtoast]

This should have been titled "Prank Thru".

[MannyDecember]

LMFAO I JUST REALIZED WHAT HE SAID AT :32! xD

[ninjapwn98]

What did he say?

[MannyDecember]

"I'm gonna start beating off to it"

[dmravi13]

dude his vid is trippy as shit

[zenafied]

krist & steve are like in the background, but it's evan dando mostly. kurt is the excitable guy near the end. "well get him on the phone!" i'm pretty sure it's him.

[BPL1980]

Completely wrong like everything else in these comments:

Evan Dando is the one BEING PRANKED. It's Steve Albini doing the talking and pretending to be Madonna's assistant.

The Nirvana guys are just audible in the background, but it's not actually them making the call.

Steve Albini would not have been anywhere near Evan Dando at the same time as he was with Nirvana, here's why:

1) He hated him.

2) Steve was in Pachyderm Studio with Nirvana, the only time he met them. Dando was never present.

[zenafied]

Oh I see. I guess that makes sense.

[InFaHazel]

my brother has recorded a Native American indian Blues Rock Guitar player who shreds at the samethe studio this was made at in Minnesota like 7 years later... I dont think its fair to say nirvana was just listening . When I made prank calls with my friends we all were in on the idea and what to do and say and who to call.. dont you remember what its like making prank phone calls... Im in switzerland and cant find the question mark key on this german keyboard..

[BPL1980]

I'm at a loss to understand what your brother or the blues rock guitarist has to do with this...

Anyway. It IS fair to say they were just listening in this recording as I have heard the anecdote straight from Steve Albini's mouth. However, if it makes this video more enjoyable for you to believe they were involved in the process of the joke and what you hear here, then fair enough.

[fatcatbuzz]

Was the band called Indigenous? My dad is from the reservation as they are. I know they recorded at Pachyderm studios.

[InFaHazel]

COnsidering the math here im gonna guess that was it.. It was back in 2003 i think so its been a while and i dont exactly remember all the details.. very few bands from what i understand recorded at that studio after nirvana made inutero... nice to hear someone with a comment other then .."whats that got to do with anything" take care peace

[fatcatbuzz]

I just read that you said that he was a blue guitarist. The are a Lakota band (my dad is Lakota from Pine Ridge) and the band consisted of brothers and sisters from that area. They did some recordings at Pachyderm studioes so I figured that had to be the band you were taking about. Anyways, check them out if you have the chance because the guitarist shreads and they are really good. I've seen them live back in the day because I'm from St. Paul, MN athough I've moved around alot lately.

[InFaHazel]

my family moved from Indian to M.N and now only my sister and her family are still living in M.N ... MY brother basicly said what you said years ago.. CHECK THIS GUY OUT.. Im sure i could get him to burn me a copy of the recording.. I just had to erase a long ass post because i went over the character count.. I just thought it was cool my brother worked in the same studio nirvana made its last album in and prank called eddie vedder and even dando.thanks for talking about something real

[InFaHazel]

INdiana had to correct my typos

[TRISTEXIA]

where on earth would you get this?

[BPL1980]

Completely wrong. Everything being written on this page about this video is completely wrong.

Here's what's happening, I know this to be true because I heard it straight from Steve Albini's mouth:

Steve Albini is the guy making the prank call TO EVAN DANDO. This was done during sessions for In Utero, and the Nirvana guys were there as he did it.

He pranked Evan Dando with no more than the express intent to make him wait and wait on the line, hoping that Madonna was about to speak to him.

[BPL1980]

So in short, **DEFINATELY** not Kurt.

[drewtoonz]

not kurt hes not a dork like you guys who made this

[InFaHazel]

its steve albini prank calling the dude from the lemon heads while the members of nirvana listen in the background i only heard the bass player Chris.. its well known that while recording In Utero Nirvana and albini made a lot of prank calls to people like eddie vedder and this guy who was fucking kurt cobains wife

[drewtoonz]

ok you sound like you know what you're talking about... I believe you. i heard a funny recording of kurt calling some chick who was writing a book about him and he wasnt very happy... said something like "I know you cought something.. from Steve"

[InFaHazel]

ok I made another post and you posted to me so hi

[Roodsteam]

thats not kurts voice or krist voice pica shit!

[BPL1980]

You're right, it's Steve Albini pranking Evan Dando.

[pelicanmouse]

This is the best band photo montage ever - THANKS FOR PUTTING THIS OUT - Evan Dando

[Rumpull4skin]

this is the best thing since sliced dread

[valzaktivagher247]

wtf i dont get it wat is the prank about it?

[react32]

army is dead, look at the title evan dando, its not kurt on the phone its evan

[TellySavalis]

This is recorded on the "Madonna" side of the line... notice the clarity difference between the "Cobain" side of the line...

[pelicanmouse]

N.B.- The lemonheads did end up on the 2nd Kiss tribute album Kiss My ass funny that christ predicts this - this is hilarious - thank you for putting it up I have been waiting to

hear this since the day it happened - we were in New Zealand

[BLINKFOREVAfan]

@pelicanmouse I love that you remember everything, all the stories:)

[ArmyIsDead]

It's not his voice, maybe one of his friends. But is not Kurt.

1. Te voice is too low 0:58

2. It sounds goofy

3. The guy says 'Evan?' 2:26

[odiumimbues]

you can hear krist in the background, and kurt.. they were all there.

[NahMateYeah]

He said it's 'Evan' because Kurt used it as a fake name, that's the point of prank calls. And as for his voice, Kurt's voice tone is very extendable, incase you havn't noticed his voice differs in many songs too.

[BPL1980]

Completely utterly wrong. Kurt does not speak on this recording. It's Steve Albini calling Evan Dando - you have it all completely backward.

[NahMateYeah]

MY BAD. haha

[Jojos25]

You must be retarded.

[BPL1980]

No. I'm just accurate, because instead of just guessing and going on what I think people's voices sound like, I actually KNOW the truth behind this story, because the story was related to me by Steve Albini himself many years ago. Thank you.

[Jojos25]

haha. i just think you're an internet troll, an attention whore inventing an alternative life here on the internet to forgot your sad, real one. you can suck steve albini's dick for me if you know him.

[BPL1980]

You're entitled to think what you like, but don't you see the irony in calling me a 'troll' after just calling me out as 'retarded' out of nowhere, hmmm?

Anyway - enjoy your hair.

[Jojos25]

thanks. have fun in your virtual life.

[euthinizedhope]

evan dando is talking at 58

[Jurassicprince]

Is this really Kurt? Cause if it is, this is sooooo awesome that you have this!

[MrDarkHawk]

Listen to Kurt laughing its so friggin preiceless xD

[iKobain]

i mean ''You there mother fuckers''

[iKobain]

LMAO ''HELLO?! You mother fuckers!?'' LMAO!

[iKobain]

LMAO! Whats your problem people?! <- I LMAO TO THAT!!!!!!

[kcobainrock]

THAT AINT KURT.......IS IT?

[BPL1980]

No. It's not Kurt, it's Steve Albini pranking Evan Dando. Kurt was there when it happened though.

[Zeppy67682]

Man they should of pranked call another celebrity or a fast food joint.usually i prank good and have the person getting angry.kurt much love to ur hott ass.

[crystalluvs8080]

did he say he was like "im gonna start beating of to this" lol idk i hear shit.

[kafkaholic]

lol "Hey Yo Is anyone there?" rofl

RIP KURT COBAIN!

[NIRVANA4LIFE123]

Seriously!Where do u get stuff like this...

[WannabeaCobain]

Hahahah epic, where do you find stuff like this?

[kcobainrock]

i think this is a fake....????

[BPL1980]

It's not fake, it's utterly genuine, but it has been labeled wrong; it's Steve Albini pranking Evan Dando. Nirvana were present when it happened, but they did not speak on the recording.

[jiskefetisj]

this is classic, awesome, made me laugh like I was a part of it.

[sweetfly66]

that sounds like dave grohl on the " madonna " side

[BPL1980]

It isn't. No matter how much you would like it to be; it is not Dave Grohl.

[KillTheHero14]

in utero

[professormoody]

"HELLO... what's your problem, people?!"

hahaha. this is way too epic; i don't care if it's real or not.

[Njc0las]

Dude, it was gay and already played out to say epic 5 years ago. You're not cool.

[professormoody]

oh, i'm so upset.

[BadComrade]

This isn't a prank call to Evan Dando's manager... it's to Evan Dando. Steve Albini is the one telling him to hold for Madonna. This was done during the recording sessions for In Utero.

[BPL1980]

This is the correct version of events.

[safetosaydontquoteme]

i... don't think this is nirvana.

[rattlehead00]

There's no mistaking Krist's voice.

[BPL1980]

Apparently there is, because Krist does not speak on this recording. It's Steve Albini pranking Evan Dando. No member of Nirvana speaks, but they are present.

[3R3BU5GAT35]

@safetosaydontquoteme no it is i hear krist and kurt

[bunburyZ]

omg laughing my ass off !

[okreset]

Why evan dando? Meh...

[PieceofMindmusic]

cause he's such a rube. :]

[Lillilue]

Oh god boys,that's so stupid and hilarious! Loving it.

[aditrublue26]

lol

[sholstein]

that was fucking stupid

[heartyhoopz1184]

haha where did u find this?

[Mirozenx]

[fag0tron]

john simons sounds like thurston moore

[andros1984]

By the way, very impressive graphics for this... cool.

[doggydog56789]

this is awesome to see because i never have seen it.

this is fucking awesomeeeeeeeeee

i love to prank call people too.

[xSublimEstyLeE]

No no no , no the video is labeled all wrong , It was Kurt , Krist and the producer Steve Albini prank calling Evan Dando(lead singer of the "Lemonheads") and Steve albini was pretending to be Madonna's manager and telling Evan that Madonna wanted to talk to him put putting him on hold while Kurt and Krist were laughing listening in on it.

[BPL1980]

This is the correct version of events.

[ashdrake118]

they always had a funny seance of humor lol

[jaakk1232]

awesome

[hothothottyeah]

he fucking rocks!! i love him!!!! could he be more beautiful? he will be the love of my life till the end of my days because there is no possible way that someone could beat him in beauty and in character, he is the best .

[vonhatenfeld]

Yes, I understand that, but in a different way... I'll never get a girlfriend because I'll never be cool like him.

[mrtall1994]

does anyone know where the footage at 2:21 is from?

[jasond353]

yeah its from the live tonight sold out dvd.its deadly

[ogsf4life]

[gerbilstar]

Hahha

[diveinme]

what the hell krist gene simmons wants prince to be on the new kiss triubute thta sthe most intellectual comment ever made im writing it down

[nygiantboy]

Wow Kurt is funny, it's really all a big shame. RIP Kurt Cobain

[BPL1980]

Kurt does not speak on this recording. It's Steve Albini pranking Evan Dando.

[theflyawayhair]

This is a prank call to Evan Dando not Madonna's manager. Madonna and her manager had nothing to do with this. I don't even know how you could mix that up.

[StickFigureMaster]

But he said Madonna wants to talk

[youknowyourrite1]

is kurt even in this

[BPL1980]

No. It's Steve Albini pranking Evan Dando. Kurt was present, but he does not speak.

[sydbarrett5]

I love when Krist says.. "Well uh... Prince wants to talk to him." LOL!

[kurtcourtney67]

mit welchem programm hast du dieses video gemacht?

[NevermindKurt94]

Movie Maker

[grungehead13]

this is so funny
