Nirvana's Krist Novoselic Remembers 'Nevermind' 25 Years Later

Nirvana's Krist Novoselic reflects on the 25th anniversary of 'Nevermind,' Kurt Cobain's "cynical" tastes and jamming with Paul McCartney.

In every single interview I've ever seen of Krist talking about Nirvana he says "I just wish Kurt was still around, ya know?" Krist really loved him like a brother. Nirvana had a very sad ending.

I really like how he talks about Kurt and says “I love him” not “I loved him.” When you lose someone close you always feel their presence.

I like when rock stars don’t try to look like they did 25 years ago.

[radiohaven]

Krist continues to age without his friend who will forever be 27. It’s sad.

[ccfitzgerald]

I think its so awesome how krist always brings Kurt up in his interviews almost always saying he misses him or he wishes he were still here... like he just wants his friend back.

Lounge Act bass line is all you need to know. He's a legend.

[m-bronte]

Krist is authentic...and Dave Grohl is awesome human as well...Kurt had good taste in friends.

[TheCamorra]

Best part for me was when he says 'I love him' in the present tense, not past.

"its such a big a small world.
its kind of a medium size world"
-novoselic, krist.

He’s so innately humble and down to earth and gentle. No wonder Kurt and him adored each other. 💔

[ApplesauceNinja]

'You Know You're Right' breaks my heart like no other track in music history. I can't even imagine how epic that entire album would have been if that lone track was any indication.

[Ludeguy]

Krist u talk like if u are not part of the great musicians that gave us alot... but u are definitly part of them. If it wasn't for you and your awesome bass lines that u created in Nirvana, then maybe the songs wouldn't have been half as good! And i truly beleive you were kurt's backbone for creating Nirvana in the 1st place, so to me Krist you are one of the greats too bud! Cheers

[Hagor]

Krist never gets tired of talking about Kurt, you’ve gotta respect him for that.

[whatarefriends]

Kurt took part of this guy with him. It doesn’t matter how much time passes you can just tell that he can’t fully grasp the loss. He’s just sitting there with this big empty space that should have been filled with life

[Wiizardii]

Krist Novoselic is epic. I will keep rocking.

[stevecarey]

Krist has the same sense of humor as me and gets the same result. "Let's call the band Krist Novoselic with Paul McCartney and Friends." Nobody knew it was a joke, except Dave I'm sure.

[danielcolon]

Man it's hard not to get emotional hearing him talk, still sounds like a kid, so young at heart.✌

[jevinday]

I love Krist's wisdom, respect, awareness, humility, and authenticity. Good dude

[adeltoral]

A lot of these other rockstars when their friends die are all “dude, I’m now The Ramones” or whatever, whereas Krist always kind of sounds like he forgets he was part of that equation, too, he puts it all on Kurt — “these musicians gave us such great music.” That’s a nice guy right there, not allowing his ego to overshadow his friend!
