Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic reacted to the band’s Twitter account posting a heartbreakingly beautiful photo of Kurt Cobain to celebrate what would have been his 52nd birthday on Wednesday.
Novoselic tweeted, “I still have both those records—and a heart full of great memories with a friend.”
Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic discussed Nirvana’s final year in a recent Washington Post article.
“I would drink alcohol. A lot of pressure, a lot of things going on . . . but we got on really well and had this very solid connection. I still have it with Dave, we had it with Kurt. We would all just work together, just have a lot of fun, and know what to do musically. There was fun times.”
“1991 to 1994, for me personally, what was that, three years, but it seems like a 10-year span, because there was so much going on, and then it ended in a disaster. I think of 1993, and I was in this bubble.”
“I don’t know if it was luck, but because we had this musical connection, we channeled it, and it got us through it. I remember Kurt being really relieved, and I was relieved, too. Somehow it just came together. When it was released in 1994, it was kind of a requiem for Kurt, and it turned out to be this huge hit record.”
