Interview: Nirvana's Dave, Krist + Butch 2011

[PotentialPaintball]

Wtf was krist saying about war veterans? Lol. What does that have to do with Kurt?

[scradincunt]

i think krist despises the futility of daves small talk haha he used to be the talkative one and dave was the quiet one but obviously krist will always be grieving kurts death more than dave cause they were closer

[kamalsutra]

How Dave just keeps getting younger beats me...

[lastlane]

Greatest band ever, never be another.

[xeshtaed]

Man, Krist is just awesome now. He looks like a cool dad or professor, all big and chubby and bearded and wise. And he has a mock grumpy look in all his photos. Imagine how close these two must still be even if they have different careers and lives.

[liliputmace18]

it's good they still watch their old vids!!love krist and dave and butch

[420Honey]

You can still see the pain on Krist's face when Nirvana gets brought up. He's not pissed, he's sad. Some of those stories clearly are scratching away at old wounds.

[SpiderKnife1]

What's interesting about the end of the video where Butch says about how Dave has now got the console of which they recorded Nevermind on, we now can realise this is linked to the film he's made about Sound City in which during the trailer you see the console being put together again for a spilt second.

I look forward to that film.

[ComedyMonkey13]

living legends



[mynameisnobodymkay]

It's called Netherlands, not Holland, for fucks sake.

[Flanelguy]

Krist looks pissed



[113711hilal]

is it me or does krist dislike dave

[omgusername111]

@113711hilal I dont think so,i mean they where kids back then,they where on top of the world i think they enjoyed and loved every second of it.

[zimonslot]

@ 21vision

Also much less drunk. And wiser.

(cause he has beard now)

[21vision]

Krist is less talkative than he used to be according to the interviews from 90s

[eewoood]

Makes me wonder what Kirt would have to say about his bands album still beeing named one of the best albums of all time? After all this time aswell!! Wonder if he would be happy to know he still has fans 20 odd years later. He said he prefer to burn out than fade away! But I dont think Nirvana or Kirt would ever fade away! Even if Kirt was still alive.

[Ashley27Mulaghton]

@eewoood *Kurt. x



[oscarin919]

15:47  want one !

[SatanicTHC]

@djburns318 dude he was talking about kurts depression and basically bashing him for killing himself. pretty awful how you took what he said completely out of context lol.

[Trojanman152152]

Man i can tell that they really miss Kurt Cobain alot, i miss him to, the world can really use somebody like him in these tuff days.

[Theeinterloper]

Also, Krist Is a big baddass.

[Theeinterloper]

All i heard was penetration and then i looked at dave.

[sweetfly66]

i love these guys ..... my god .... long live Nirvana ... long live Dave Grohl and long live Krist Novaselic

[jds520]

Which taped concert is he talking about watching, Live at Paramount? Or something older? I want to look it up.

[gallowspole]

@jds520 just search youtube for nirvana paradiso. you will find several clips from the show. It's from November 25, 1991 in Amsterdam. You'll love it, guaranteed.

[MrSnowNose]

You can tell Krist still feels unsure.

[jimijackson]

kurts death is still a touchy subject..i dont think theyre able to talk about it too much. hmmm i think it affected krist more than dave.

[3N3MYify]

@jimijackson Krist was with Kurt for the longest time though, and was his friend from the start 

[Thalatosis]

@jimijackson Well Krist was Kurt's friend in High School...

[fbijk11]

@jimijackson well yeah... he grew up with kurt

[MsJilsephonie]

@jimijackson i realy think a part of krist died with kurt you can tell he really loved that guy

[kamalsutra]

@jimijackson That's because Dave came in later, Krist was with Kurt since before Bleach.

[Jackwee182]

Dave, if your gonna stand next to Krist....stand on a box

[suzveve]

krist is a big vortex of emotion

[macskasegg]

Cool video.

[kermicheo]

"a band called garbage with a song called queer? Fugget abat it!!"

[just4mak]

i dont know why but krist reminds me of papa smurf xD

[gaham99]

dave is small compared to krist

[himynameisnick101]

@gaham99 That's because Krist is 6'7.

[Selestino84]

@Fiakosorio Hell Yeah!!

[willyboyable]

9:27 awkward moment lol

[nirvaieva]

they are fuckin cool guys. they all three are legend.

[MrTheChimera]

Lol Krist in 1991 looks like Dave in 2011 :D

[Artstar]

Aha, great video. I had no idea Dave bought the Neve console from Sound City.

[sweeneytoddles2]

Some advertising at the end there...

[nobody5923]

It's really nice to see them all together :)

[hershysquirts187]

krist rules

[coreyhhh]

This is awesome.

[Elazul451]

Hey guys, Dave made a big penetration.

[Torontoraptures]

That was awkward when they showed butch 10 minutes later when you forgot about him

[ardiLearnsToRock]

I was born in 1991, and I did't know about Nirvana of course, cause I still a baby.

But, on the next 19 years or almost now, I'm addicted to the drugs of music called Nirvana.

And I listen to Nirvana every day. I watch all videos about Nirvana. I read all news abput Nirvana.

So, I can clearly imagine what kind of a fuck'n genious musician, Kurt, on his era.

And know, the most musician I want to meet are Dave, Krist, and Pat. Because they can tell me more about this drugs, Nirvana.

Cheers

[GregoryJohnsonJr]

@ardiLearnsToRock I love music Nirvana yada yada yada. Turn your computer off and go get some poon man. Its good too.

[ZeldaFoxEars]

@ardiLearnsToRock You should really listen to other bands too. I have a feeling you're intelligent enough to not just listen to one band, constantly its kind of sad, and narrow-minded.

[MunisAwesome]

Where did you get this from?

[deliciousvideo]

@MunisAwesome 3VOOR12

[samanthaizer]

I can see why Kurt hated Dave....this interview should have been all Krist. He's thoughtful and deep. I like what he said about people that have the will to survive truly horrible things.

[MegaProjectpat]

@samanthaizer If you take courtney at her word and believe Kurt hated dave, your mislead.... Kurt was an asshole the last 6months of his life. Being a junkie he was a selfish a-hole, who cared about his drugs and nothing else. Comes with the territory. Even Kris said towards the end things got wierd. Look at there footage, they where truly friends.... Krist has always talked like that, so basing your views on this one interview is shallow in my opinion.

[craphill]

@MegaProjectpat well your kinda right. krist said that once kurt invited krist to go to dinner somewhere and krist was driving and kurts dealer was there..

[ejlizzz]

@samanthaizer shut the fuck up

[Kravis63]

It's so awesome that Dave and Krist are doing this kind of stuff now. It means a lot to us older fans that actually remember Nirvana being around.

[kller324]

If Dave is talking about the Hollywood rock rio show that is floating around on the Internet and the live tonight sold out DVD, he's wrong.

[MegaProjectpat]

watch?v=4MOduKP3vdw

[MegaProjectpat]

@MegaProjectpat this is the one i assume he is talking about....

[starsweet4]

it's funny to see them watch their younger selves! haha man i miss the 90s, everything is so fake now

[VoVikMakaR]

krit is a politician in poland now xD

[kevinhernandez711]

damm if only kurt was there too...

[OhShiflett1]

L.E.G.E.N.D.S.

[universalsoul21]

Kris seems so humble and intelligent it makes me sad it must be painful talking about nirvana, although he probably had great memories! i wonder if he could see Kurt again what he would say... i wish Kurt hadn't done that :( such a waste of a good person!

[ZDiddy7]

Damn, Krist is ALL personality!! That dude is concentrated party in a can!!! He makes David Lee Roth seem like a nun!! If he keeps this craziness up he'll be dead in a month.

[DillingerEscapeMan]

ze grapes

[RideMyGMC]

min 14:15 Look at their faces...sh$#, cringed when I heard the reporter going in for the money shot: "lady, ya dont wanna go there."

[Soundwasteland]

Ontopic this vid. is so cool. Its interesting to see Dave and Krist then and now,remembering the ''golden days''

[cobain0013]

that last question i think dave killed kurt and krist knows so he guilty thats why he went bald

[Soundwasteland]

@cobain0013 Why the fuck would Dave kill Kurt. After Kurt's death Dave was just as devastated as Krist. Krist always misses Kurt more because THEY STARTED THREE BANDS TOGETHER Fecal Matter and Nirvana aswell as a Creedance Clearwater revival tribute band. Plus they were roomates and Krist knew Kurt for many years atleast since 1986 Dave didn't join the band until about 1990-1991. Dave seems like a good person and he dosen't seem shady by a long shot. Hes a great singer,drummer and guitarist.

[groovey65]

@Soundwasteland don't worry, obvious troll is obvious.

[trulysarcastic]

@cobain0013 either your an idiot, or that was an incredibly tasteless joke.

[eminemluver888]

@cobain0013 nah man thats courtney not dave

[Greentoka0408]

@cobain0013 You're a fucking asshole bro. You have a sick, and twisted mind.

[fhelipe748]

Krist speaks intelligently always quiet at the right time I'm Brazilian 28 years I'm a fan of nirvana was 12 when I heard a song of truth for the first time a song with feeling without even speaking English could feel the sense of kurt kris and dave marked my childhood my youth and this great band Nirvana.

[MrBeach21]

They shouldn't have asked the question about Kurt. That was just rough water and in my eyes, disrespectful. They've never fully talked about it and they don't want to, this entire interview has an air to it where it just doesn't feel right.

[jimijackson]

@MrBeach21 but everyone wants to know how they feel :p come on... all these years later~

[MrBeach21]

Also, this interview is so depressing. It just doesn't feel right without Kurt and you can tell they feel so awkward about the whole thing. the background silence doesn't help, either.

[MrBeach21]

Dave was so baked in the late interview

[flamesfearfuture]

I like Dave Grohl, but I think he should have let talk Krist Novoselic more often in this interview.

[TheBollocksPictures]

Nirvana forever.

[takensorryuser]

i was directed here BEFORE krist Tweeted about it, but hes awesome

[SadByYou]

@takensorryuser buy a medal

[onics]

Honestly, i really would like to hear why 2 nihilistic dudes disliked this.

[heerserjordi95]

AWESOME :)

i'm from holland

love these guys

r.i.p kurt

[eusebor]

when i heard dave say „when i was living at my friend toss' house" i immediatley thought of "another story about skeeter thompson" haha

[pallknowing1]

Nirvana Reunion. Dave: Guitar/vocals Pat:Guitar Krist: Bass Butch: Drums... kurt is not replicable but i would allow this

[shayaan2354]

@pallknowing1 ...maybe. I don't think Dave would really fit the songs like Kurt did. I think it would be better if Dave would be on drums, Pat on guitar, Krist on bass, and nobody sings. They did this awhile back with Teen Spirit

[TXPRiNCEZZ09]

How RAD is THIS guy down here zippy1avion....You Go Novoselic!!!!!

xo

[zippy1avion]

On Holland - Grohl sees Anarchism, Novoselic sees Social Democracy.

[piemakesmelol]

@zippy1avion- Was it weird to look back at an old interview with Dave? I'd have a tough time not 'googling' myself.

[Eternalover78]

@zippy1avion When I saw your tweet I thought you were talking about François Hollande... haha

[Sage80]

@zippy1avion been there 4 times. Grohl is right. 

[soundofmusic94]

@zippy1avion who is right? 

[delacerdaa]

Rest in peace Kurt. Miss you man :(

[sabrinamusiq]

Man I love these guys!

[mattzila89]

Krist is a tall mother fucker haha

[97footprints]

i wish people wud stop anylising their every move as if they know em so well like "oh u can totally tell Krist is..."watevr or "yeh Dave is clearly...wen he does this..." stop tryin to find wat their not willing to tell,it's personal, just be happy they already giv + gave so much of themselves to their music :/ face it, you don't know them, u connect with their music, doesn't make you special and some kind of expert on their innermost thoughts and feeling......... oh + also, great interview! :D

[amy1231s]

@97footprints it's just a comparison as to what we are used to seeing in Nirvana interviews. I certainly wasn't acting as if i knew them and i don't think any Nirvana fan wants to know personal things about them, they appreciate them as musicians but then again it's hard not to see that it's uneasy for them to talk about it, you don't you have to be an expert for that. Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to analyse people's comment as if you're an expert thinking that anyone thinks they're special.

[megamicron]

Don't worry, we've all bitten the hook of Nevermind's cover

[xXScorpion69Xx]

Look Krist face, almost all video he is with serious face, while fuckin dave is laughing... god , please help krist with nirvana memories (:

[themadmallard]

@xXScorpion69Xx you can see his face under that beard? ;p

[xXScorpion69Xx]

@themadmallard eheh thats true , u can just see a part of it x)

[FallOfMind]

Its so awesome seeing Dave so young and innocent,

and now he's a fucking BOSS.

[scotty8254]

While I have not watched this whole video yet, here are two guys who got to work with a musical geneius. Sure, it might be right time and right place but whatever the case, they were there with him. There are only a handfull of names that will be remembered 100 years from now, one of them the beetles and elvis, and another name in that het will be Nirvana. Thank you Kurt Krist and Dave!!!!!!!!!

[cellardoor199991]

Dave was the outsider of the group. Must have been hard for him to get personal with Kurt and Krist, at first, knowing that Kurt & Krist were great friends. I don't blame Dave for going his own way when Kurt became a junkie. Dave is smart, strong and healthy. Never got caught/fucked by fame and fortune the way Kurt did. You can never reason w/ a junkie. I knew 2 in highschool. One is dead, the other homeless. Dave rocks! He made the right decisions.

[MrVincentbarajas45]

People are people.

[imluvinthis6473]

during the interview Dave and Krist just keep zoning out... it freaks me out seeing an interview where Krist isn't being a wise-ass and Dave isn't drumming and jumping up and down...

[amy1231s]

It's so sad to not see Krist laughing and rambling on with himself, i want to give him a hug.. You can tell they've made themselves not think about it too much but i don't think they'll ever fully understand why like Dave said, they were just kids.

[TheChanneldejavu]

Krist looks like a lumberjack in this

[lildondon29]

Krist is about 20 yrs older. That might be a good explanation as to why he's not such a goof anymore. It happens!

[Kerbesk]

I remember watching Krist talk a lot and make jokes during the interviews back whe they were at Nirvana. Now he's so silent.... it's so fucking sad. It seems that neither of them have processed anything yet.

[funnychick246]

It know it killed them when their buddy died! Rip Kurt, ur gods angel now!

[PotentialPaintball]

Krist looks lost without Kurt. Such a sad story.

[ZombieBunny501]

krist reminds me of my uncle now lol

[PunchBagvideos]

WOW Novoselic is freaking tall! Like, I've stood next to dave and he is a lot taller than I thought he would be, but krist is a fucking giant!!!

[xxMMxKIDxx]

@PunchBagvideos In an interview, Dave said that Krist was like 6'7''.

[attica1010]

That console will be up and running next year? Just in time for the Foo's next record :D

[RandomTask0919]

Totally forgot Butch was there until like 7:45

[Starvoid7]

Krist is wearing a Beat Happening T-Shirt!

I HAVE THE SAME! :D

[ROBMANOB]

This is probably the best pure in-depth interview about the Nirvana days I've seen. Kudos for documenting this for history and the future music lovers.

[johnnyxxx31]

Krist is pretty tall. 2:06

[ROOKTABULA]

"Penetration...penetrated...."

They had to work Sofa King hard not to roflao...

[whipchops]

krist is probably embarrassed by his excessive babbling over the years

[tuxxedomask]

Good to see Krist had calmed down a little.

They're still both great, it's really too bad Kurt isn't around anymore .. .

[TheHouseOffice]

You can totally tell that Krist is missing Kurt's presence in the room with Dave and Butch.

Garh it's just so damn sad.

[TheHouseOffice]

Of all the interviewers in the WORLD they could've chosen to interview the two former band members of NIRVANA, they choose Her?!

WHY!!!!

[TheHouseOffice]

Krist used to be so outspoken and passionate.

Now he just seems kind of.. sad. :(

Poor baby.

[TheHouseOffice]

1:27 Krist gave Dave a look of love.

AWSH So cute!!

[savagecabage]

i wonder if Krist is still an asshole now that hes older and a bit more mature. i was watching an interview a few weeks ago with Nardwuar where he was acting like a complete cunt

[gweengween]

kris is so cold in this video ;/

[iWalkOnU]

krist talks about kurt in the present as if hes alive. aw :/ :(

[ToddeeTheTeleMan]

00:08 - Dave "hehehe he said penetrated"

[kadirbasri]

Krist used to be shorter until his knee got shot from an arrow.

[jdpegg]

YOU DONT GET ICE IN HOLLAND!

[DefyingNoodles]

@jdpegg I LOVE MY ICE :D

[angrykoolaidman]

Commisioner Gordon has produced some really good records.

[1996Jacqui]

@angrykoolaidman lol!

[Anonix123]

I've noticed that Krist hardly ever smiles, or is as funny as he used to be while he was in Nirvana. I remember him being always smiled, chilled, and how he used to make jokes everytime he could, out of everything. His comments during the shows are legend too. He completly changed after Kurt died, I hope none of my close friends ever dies at young age, cause I don't want to go through, what him and Dave had to go through...

[blueskyzero9]

@Anonix123 I totally agree. I really like Krist and it is just really heartbreaking to see him changed so much. I think out of everyone (aside from family) Kurt's death had the greatest impact on him. He is such a champ though!

[BrickUnit]

dave always kinda reminded me of sean kinney

[jamesgassonmusic]

If you squint your eyes and turn your head a bit, you can kind of pretend that Butch is actually Kurt standing there, and imagine just for a moment what it would be like to see the three of them standing there together again. It makes me so happy to see Dave and Krist standing side by side, but so sad there is something so fundamentally missing. I really wish he hadn't done what he did. What a silly mistake he made.

[SuperIthinknot]

Is Krist very very tall or is Dave just not very tall?

[RebelThoughts]

@SuperIthinknot Krist is 6'7" so yeah, he's real tall. 

[gsahrens]

and it has to said.. I hate when bands complain that is hard to tour the globe sitting o a bus a do too many shows..

I mean, how the fuck did you thought it would be? is the dream of everyguy out there with a guitar in his room but some bands just go out there and complain and bitch like they are doing something too hard.

I mean, you get paid milions and milions of dollars to travel around the world and PLAY MUSIC dont fucking complains about it as if you rather work 8-6 in a coal mine

[tisBenG]

@gsahrens this is true but they only had 1 day off? that must of been shit

[gsahrens]

haha

i just love how krist looked like a homeless guy and now look like a school teacher

[manojkumarshow]

no band has ever come close to the Beatles but nirvana is the best next thing happened to music after the Beatles....!!!!!

[Grabbabba]

Haha Rio

[CuzImBluffin8D]

"wow, girls like Nirvana" HECKYEAH!!!

[vectorialalo]

i can almost see him there, weird....

[mrcrowley951]

the shotgun disliked the video

[fortworths]

What 'live show' are they refering to which was 'a really good show'? (14.50)

[TheSHACKTRACKS]

@fortworths 11/25/91

[bonezzzz]

2 dislikes.... Courtney created 2 accounts just to dislike this..

[EMUEXPORT3]

oh my, does dave grohl seem a little arrogant? holy shit, a life of playing music live as a living, is that supposed to be a death sentence? holy fuck man, its the dream of every musician to achieve what you have dave....

[thomascompton800]

this video was posted the same day john bonham died

[llamasarus1]

wow. they didn't talk about kurt much. they probly didn't wan't to.

[RastafariPoet]

Damn, krist is soo soft spoken now, and just mature - its scarey. I wonder if Kurt had an effect on any of that.

[robbantheshit]

03:03 hehe i was on the road also hearing on the radio that freddie had died

[c001i0]

fuck... that question at 14.00 is too heavy 

[andrewt248]

That Neve console is HOT! Too bad she's missing her guts. Reconditioning is probably a good idea after 20 years, though.

[guevaraz101]

Hahaha Gotta Love Dave's good humor in 9:40......Good to see them again, Important Band Nirvana was in my teens...

[mrXXrauf182XX]

@guevaraz101 they are important to me now as a teen
