Consequence of Sound is reporting that a never before heard Kurt Cobain interview has surfaced.
“A few years before his death, Studio Brussel got the chance to interview Cobain on ‘De Vooruit’, in Ghent on November 23rd, 1991,” reads the accompanying description. “He was there with his band Nirvana after they just released their second album Nevermind. For more than 25 years the interview got lost in the huge archives of the Belgian public television and radio. Until today!”
Cobain throws shade at past Nirvana drummers, who included Chad Channing and Aaron Burckhard.
“The band is finally complete,” Cobain says of Dave Grohl joining. “All the other drummers we had pretty much sucked.”
Grohl admitted in a 2005 interview with Rolling Stone interview that Cobain didn’t always like his playing either, recounting “the times when Kurt was really unhappy with the way I played drums. I could hear him talking about how much he thought I sucked. But he’d never say it to me. If I’d confront him about it – ‘Is there a problem? If you want me to leave, just ask’ – he’d say ‘No, no, no.’ Most of that happened later, around In Utero. That’s when I think Kurt became unhappy with what was happening in the band.””
