He's a hall of famer already. Definitely underrated. His basslines come straight from the heart.

@@MajorCanadaKurt wrote his bass lines

The first time I heard Nirvana the very first thought I had was; "Who is the bass player? The bass is the center of focus, it holds the whole band together, right in the pocket". It was the first time I'd heard the bass be center of focus in rock like that, prior to that I always listened to metal where the bass typically takes a back seat.

​​@@Gcssdvnkloiutescjust no....no Self respecting bass player is gonna sit there and just be told what to play by the guitarist. Especially one as accomplished as Krist. It's not like he even needed to play anything complicated why would Kurt need to tell him what to play...

Amazing musician, but good God... he's got to be the worst storyteller I've ever heard lol

2 vans and then a Datsun at that age that shows a ton of maturity lol Krist was the Man of sorts we all know he was a fun dude on stage ie knocking himself out cold w his own bass 😎🤘🏼🎸 🚐🚐🚙

Not to mention an excellent bassist. He had such a big sound and his basslines are very melodic and inventive.

Tracy was very important as well. Everyone knows who the genius was. It’s just like Van Gogh. We know him bc of two people. His brother and sister in law.

​@RC-fi8nn this right here, he reminds me of how Green day bassist was also quite busy on the board back during their early stuff. Krist did that walking line type thing as well, and it sounded huge over the simple guitar lines. Add the drums from players like Channing and Grohl, amd it's no wonder they got huge, they sounded HUGE.

I hear ya. But "he had 2 vans" doesn't make much sense

True

He was Kurt’s “crutches” Kurt woulda never left the garage without Krist. And krist knew that and never mentioned it. He was just happy to make music with his friend. Solid dude.

@@Errcyco I actually agree, there are probably tons of potential artists we will never know cause they didn't find their Krist.

@@Errcyco I meant to say I "absolutely agree". I just realized I wrote "actually agree" lol.

Absolutely.

he wasn't that lucky because then he met Courtney Love and his life was over lol

Me too, that is why I don't know if I can ever buy what happened to Kurt at the end. Nirvana was at the height of fame and quality after MTV unplugged, and then a few month later it's over.

@@MidniteSon well, he was on heroin

@@MidniteSon he overdosed in rome before that bro wdym?

@@peach-tea Courtney slipped him pills I thought then

@@MidniteSontruth. It was her script. The pills are individually sealed in foil so you have to take them all out of the packets. Kurt doesn’t drink, either. The doctors in Rome and everyone else knows that that was not a suicide attempt. Kurt asked for a milkshake or something when he woke up. I hate that woman, dude that evil piece of ****

He’s a charming guy and down to earth.Seriously ,you would never know he helped change rock music if were a stranger you just met.I love Krists vibe.

The end of the movie would be too sad just like Selena's

I imagine that Rick is enjoying the tangents as well, but they all probably agreed to a limited amount of time to fit their schedules, and Rick has lots more questions he wants to ask.

Agreed!

As much as I have the utmost respect for Krist in every way. I do feel he rambles in such a laid back way that he loses the point. I noticed this years ago during Nirvana interviews, I never knew what he was talking about.

Yep, he had already made a name for himself in Scream as a teenager. There's a late 90's interview with Steve Albini and when Nirvana was mentioned he said he was basically indifferent towards them from what he had heard but gave Nevermind a chance based on the belief that any album that has Dave Grohl drumming on it has to be listened to, and that was in 1991. Ian MacKaye wanted him in Fugazi but he had already just joined Nirvana. Coincidentally, I've always said Fugazi is one of the VERY FEW bands that Dave's drumming would NOT improve, so it was fun finding out about how he could've almost joined them back in the day.

Agreed! That show would have been astounding!

I know right?

With 30 people in the audience! To have seen that show would have been so amazing.

The fact that he even mentioned The Tragically Hip out of all the bands they must have played with is a nice shout out.

It's too bad today's teens and college aged adults are stuck on their smartphones. Local music isn't what it once was...

True. But still not enough cowbell, IMHO.

Especially without Dave interupting.

RUSH would like to have a word... and they would agree with you.

don't worry... Jimmy Page is still around...Nothing really happens...

Nirvana was pretty much done as a band, so, most likely would've explored other genres. IIRC he was very happy with that Burroughs record he did, he was probably going into that direction. I don't think he would've had a bigger cultural impact if not as a martyr, which is a shame, he was pretty damn cool, and would've remained cool, but the media was always hyper-focused on the mystique around him rather than what he produced. It's been almost 30 years since his death, so, his status has been memified in a sense. I do not say this to discredit or disrespect the man, it's just that he is remembered more for the spectacle of that time rather than the content, which he was aware of.

The reality is that Dave would've left to do Foo Fighters eventually. Soundgarden would've still broken up, Stone Temple Pilots would've still crashed and burned, and the next generation of bands like Creed, Staind and Nickelback would've still risen to the top.

⁠@@jensongdigood point, but Kurt had some good years left.

@@warren_r😂…Risen to the top? That’s an dumbass overstatement.

Dude. Such a deep, deep list of great songs, from early bluesy rockers to straight-up uncategorizable stuff. Great musicianship and lyricism in that group. That ticket with Nirvana must have been weird though. Love to see Rick do a dive on them.

Who's Jack?

@@Xx-xd3zo Jack Endino is a producer and musician from Seattle. He was affiliated with Sub Pop records and the grunge movement. Played with Skin Yard from 1985 to 1992. He's now with Sound House Recording in Seattle.

Would that complete your life?😂

@@boxychubbo6922 No, but he really was the guy to keep it going when Kurt was falling apart. What a weird response.

Speaking of years going by, Joe Walsh was recently at a gig celebrating Ringo Starr's birthday. He said it was way better being twenty in the seventies than seventy in the twenties. Time flies. I first heard Smells Like Teen Spirit on my car radio. I had to pull off into a parking lot and just listen.

Same

Thats some funny shit. . 😅

@@adamvvs2644 It's a testament to how drugs don't really help in the long run. They were people who got into music to deal with their emotional problems, and got into drugs for the same reason. Maybe if they only had the music and not the drugs they would have survived.

It's always so weird to me. Obviously they're just people but the bands are so big and you never really think they all kinda grew up together and were just pals. And of course playing together with these bands before they were huge you become friends. And then krist is just weird cuz he looks so old and proper now Its hard to imagine him being in Nirvana

@nicolaemadalinboboc6704 Considering that generation of grunge music was dismantling buisenesses ie Oher areas of music types and The fashion industry It was taking huge losses These bands had a large influence on the people Only the lead singers of this generation and secular of music (Grunge) died though Its all kinda suspect I mean people die but cmon

I agree. The more I have read and listened to interviews, I am endlessly amazed how small the community was in the music scene at that time. So many were friends and helped to support each other...and how for so long, they had almost no money but they kept going on. Thank goodness they did.

... 'cos it smelled like teen spirit 👽😂👽

I've heard a story where Gord met Kurt back stage, told by Gord. Gord said he went backstage to meet Kurt but he was passed out on a pool table I believe, and they never ended up having a conversation.

@@westonflus15 IN some way, this is the most-Kurt and most-Gord story there could be...

What about Pat?

I totally agree. Wasn't she married to Chris Cornell and at the same time as being Soundgardens manager? What a unique and interesting perspective she must have on the whole era. She must have really had her head screwed on right! Smart woman I'm sure. And emotionally strong. You should look into it! Write a book?!

@@TomUK7she has a book.

@@AmericanNope Really? Can you give me the title? I would love to know more from her. What an amazing time to have been working with the bands she did.

Absolutely agree. What an amazing time it was in Seattle...would love to know more from her.

That's asking a lot. Interviewing is a dead art. It's all about dominating the subject now

What makes him look like a grocery store manager?

He looks exactly the same just older

Or a tv dad of crazy teens.

They tried. It's hard to get a movie off the ground that isn't Marvel
