Dave Grohl & Krist Novoselic On The 30th Anniversary Of "In Utero" | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

it's. been 30 years and it must. feel it it must feel good that this work. stands the test of time well it does. feel good we'll come back in the 50y. year anniversary and see what kind. of what we have to offer yeah and uh. it's great that people are are. interested and that we have the. opportunity to do this and to to like. add it's there's vinyl and there's live.

shows so you can you won't be tracked or. have a cookie put on your Consciousness. and you can just put the the tone arm. down on a piece of vinyl and listen to. Nirvana live in Rome or Los Angeles or. Seattle and you can be it'll it can. capture imagination you're invited to. come to come inside that world and. experience that show so you know I'm. just happy to to have the opportunity. and you said that there's no you don't. play play Nirvana at home no mean is.

this going to be an exception do you. think no I mean the cool thing about. being a musician for a long time making. a bunch of Records is that you. eventually start measuring your life not. in like increments of time or whatever. it's. like albums that you've made so if you. ask me about a particular record a. scream record or a Foo Fighters record. or whatever I'll immediately know what. year it was made and and I remember.

almost everything about where I was and. who I was at that time so when I think. like 30 years ago what the. what's that even mean 30 years but if. you say 1993 I everything comes back and. then when you listen to it to me it's. almost like these um they're sort of. like Sonic snapshots like in a photo. album or something and. um so when I when I hear the music it. brings back a lot of of personal Vivid.

memories of just stupid like I. remember that jacket that I had or that. stupid hat I bought in North Carolina or. the sock full of mashed potatoes that. Steve put in my suit. snuck I felt bad when that got ripped. off I know I was so sad but things like. that but then also um you know again you. know I I refer to my children a lot. because they're they're uh discovering. music in the same way that well. differently than we did then but sort of.

emotionally in the same way that we did. at their age and. um and you know to see their reaction to. this music Now is really cool. actually we did this one we did this uh. this uh charity benefit thing once that. uh art of alium thing that we did a long. time ago and we got asked to play this. thing in Los Angeles or they asked the. Foo Fighters to play but we couldn't. make it and and then the person who was.

putting on the show said well why don't. you just play acoustic I'm like man. I don't want to do that so I thought you. know what maybe I'll call Chris and Pat. and see if maybe Joan Jed will come up. and we can do some neurana songs or. maybe someone else is there whatever so. um we were thinking about people to sing. and then I don't know who brought it up. but some maybe it was you that said does. violet want to sing a song or maybe it. was Pat my daughter Violet and um I saw. this did you see it there was yeah there.

was footage of it yeah and so I I was. like well I'll ask her and I said hey VI. um she's an incredible singer I'm like. and she really likes Nirvana at the time. I think she was maybe. 14 probably 14 14-year-old. girl um I said you want to sing an. Nirvana song she's like yeah. absolutely and I said um which one of. all of them not just this record of all. of them and she picks Heart Shaped Box.

mhm and my first reaction. was what have I done to my kid to. them up so. bad that this is that this is the song. they want to sing but um but seriously I. was I was very uh proud yeah and what I. realized is kids these days there's like. this window in between the ages of like. maybe 10 and 13 or 11 and 14 or. something like that where almost every.

kid goes through a Nirvana phase and. it's for a reason and I think it has. less to do with the. sound um I think it has more to do with. what it means because I think it means. the same thing today to those kids as it. did when we released it so that to me is. the coolest thing and selling a lot of. t-shirts. yeah.
