Fender Frontline Interview
February 1994by Chuck Crisafulli
Fender: Nirvana has become a "Big Rock Story," but the music still seems to be the most important part of that story. Your music offers the simple, powerful rock n’ roll thrill that so many other bands seem to have a hard time delivering. How proud are you of Nirvana’s work?
Kurt: It’s interesting, because while there’s a certain gratification in having any number of people buy your records and come to see you play, none of that holds a candle to simply hearing a song that I’ve written played by a band. I’m not talking about radio or MTV. I just really like playing these songs with a good drummer and bass player. Next to my wife and daughter, there’s nothing that brings me more pleasure. I’m extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished together. Having said that, however, I don’t know how long we can continue as Nirvana without a radical shift in direction. I have lots of ideas and musical ambitions that have nothing to do with this mass conception of "grunge" that has been force-fed to the record-buying public for the past few years. Whether I will be able to do everything I want to do as part of Nirvana remains to be seen. To be fair, I also know that both Krist and Dave have musical ideas that may not work within the context of Nirvana. We’re all tired of being labeled. You can’t imagine how stifling it is. read more...
