I love hearing about Kurt, but really feel bad that Melvins are constantly bombarded with questions about him and Nirvana. Same thing with Albini. What hasn’t been said?!
personally, I love it. some of my favorite stories about Kurt have come from dale and the Melvin's. at this point, I've heard pretty much all of Nirvana's music. so now, I live for the little nuggets and stories that I find every now and then.
Seriously, some music journalists go to Melvins just to try to get an angle on Kurt that hasn’t been heard but Melvins are fantastic and it’s spitting on Kurt’s legacy to treat them like accessories to Kurt first and foremost.
They do it the worst to Jack Endino. Almost every interview with him is about Bleach. No one has ever interviewed strictly on the basis of him being the guitarist for Skin Yard.
@@xyoungmaloxyep, Kurt basically wouldn't have existed as a musician without Melvins. Not to hate on Kurt but it's a fact he wouldnt have been a musician if he didn't go to school with Buzz
@@Lewis1key If you want to check some "jazzy" approach by Dale checkout the "Freak Puke" record and "Planet Destructo". Also, he’s like a fucking Tony Williams on steroids on records like Bullhead. Such an underrated drummer.
Of course they did ...Heroin is just incompatible with any and everything besides personal oblivion. I, like many of you , have so many great mates who turned into unbearable -to -be -around, scummy, lying sacks of sh*t once addiction set in in their lives. Even when you come out the other end ,in most cases ,the damage´s already been done ...not good ...at all ...I sense Buzz is more angry than oblivious/disdainful cause I ´m pretty sure he did everything he could to dissuade Kurt from this and that (knowing he was simply having a monologue beforehand ...frustrating. ).
I wouldn't say Buzz was bitter, I think he's angry about losing his friend to drugs, not unlike Rotten was pretty pissed off about losing his childhood friend, I won't say much else, as Kurt spends enough time being compared to Sid. Buzz was part of the straight edge movement, Kurt was already getting loaded.
@@Mraquanetchris He also wen't through a heroin phase with Lori. I don't know what these people are talking about. He was just able to get off the shit, keep clean and not talk about it in interviews.
No way. He is Dale Crover. Of THE MELVINS. Why the hell would he want to be in Nirvana? Clearly he and Buzz are not chasing money or fame, your post makes it sound like mainstream success eluded them. They dont want it. And they are legend
It's insane to me that Nirvana is mentioned in the same breath as The Beatles or Led Zeppelin. Even though they were huge, it seemed like just a few years after Kurt's death that grunge and all that was going to be a footnote in rock history. This was when Britney Spears and Limp Bizkit were big. Now years later you see little kids and teenagers wearing Nirvana shirts and rock journalists analyze their albums like Sgt. Pepper.
I see Nirvana as being more original artistically and about level with Led Zeppelin as far as broader cultural influence. Led Zeppelin played a brand of blues-rock that was very en vogue when they were at the height, Nirvana played noisy garage rock when hair metal was king. Nirvana accomplished an equal level of popularity and cultural relevance as Led Zeppelin in a fraction of the time. It would be like Robert Plant dead just three records in. Overnight, they exploded in popularity and the hysteria from the ensuing chaos left the lead singer, who just a year before was living in his car, dead from a self inflicted shotgun blast to the head. Their first concert was what, 1987 or '88?
@@warshipsatin8764 Well, I think context is important sent me If you're claiming that they're unoriginal for the reason that they are just another three chord, three piece loud noisy rock band, then yeah, I suppose they are not the most original band in the world. Actually, a band is a band, I think that as a holy unique physical concept the idea of having a rock and roll band in 1988 was not exactly a novel idea. Lol. Anyhow, please explain to me why you do not think they were very original? Anywho, this is not a rhetorical question, and I'm not going to attempt to slash at your feelings, thoughts, or opinions, you are a disenter! I am genuinely curious and why you do not find them very original. Again, in terms of, like, uniqueness across the infinitely vast spectrum of artistic endeavors, I suppose you do have a point, having a rock band in 1988 to 1994 was not a very original idea. However, I believe it's kind of nuanced, right? Everything is sort of distilled down for the purposes of criticism, and we tend to rape things against their counterparts, this thing v. This other conceptually similar thing. You find them to be more unoriginal unhat front, or are they just unoriginal through it through to you
I mean, they did stand out in the mainstream realm, as they had frankly disparate and often underground influences, from Melvins to Beat Happening, from Mudhoney to Vaselines. From Pixies to Jesus Lizard. If you compare them with their grunge contemporaries, all PJ, Soundgarden and AiC were, at the end of the day, just another rehash of the same old hard rock cliches. So Nirvana was relatively original and very distinct in terms of the way they presented their music. Then again, if you dig slightly deeper, they were obviously not very inventive. But they had a certain quality that set them apart and even when they borrowed, they still sounded like them.
Dale meet Shirley Temple because her daughter Lori Black played with the Melvins. Shirley Temple showed Dale a film footage of her playing the drums which Hollywood wanted her to do but was declined because it was unlady like ''She said You know a woman can not spread her legs, You got it'' and he her druming was fucking amazing she played like ''Buddy Rich'' also she showed us how tap dancing is really just drumming. She tap-danced for us, and she was fucking amazing.” so I am Ross so if you aren't professional you certainly won't make it on the Movie Screens, you will just better make sure your fit enough to work in a warehouse all day or be a cleaner or some labourer on the dirty factory floors.
Are you the original interviewer ? Is this a recent interview that was conducted this year or even on/ close to the date of upload? Is there more to this interview than just this small snippet? Would you be able to upload more, if there is? Thank you for this.
It's three/four months old. I think The Melvins posted it on their FB I don't have the whole interview anymore. But it was quiet long. If I remember correctly the main subject of the interview was Crovers 'The Fickle Finger of Fate'
Chinacat Sunflower why do you care? Enjoy if you like what was said. Why are you so pathetic, why do you fanboy? Work to improve yourself, fuck Kurt he was a mentally ill drug addict that had musical talent. Ask yourself, how did that turn out?
I think you are talking about Chad Channing, Kurt loved the way Dale Crover played the drums, and I dont think Dale Crover is a "basic drummer" , you clearly dont listen to Melvins.
He quit because of lack of time for nirvana. I remember dave playing melvins beat inbetween song at a nirvana concert. Dale was a big influeced on his drumming
