Founding Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic discussed how the band handled interviews in a series of new tweets in response to a fan. He referenced The Simpsons’ Grunge parody episode, claiming that Nirvana were not like the fictional band Sadgasm depicted in the episode.
A fan named Scott tweeted Novoselic, “Hey Krist love your band, but I don’t remember you guys telling me to smoke pot.”
Novoselic responded, “Oh yes I did. It was about being reckless and trying to be shocking.”
Scott tweeted back, “So the music was just second hand?”
Novoselic said, “Music was primary. Interviews were set up for us. I tried to be absurd. You can see us laugh a lot. We were not Sadgasm like on Simpsons.”
Scott shot back, “Were you having fun?”
Novoselic responded, “Tons of fun. But many times laughing to hide the pain inside.”
