Dave Grohl has stated that Krist Novoselic makes him feel like he is a member of rock legends Nirvana once again.
The Foo Fighters guitarist and singer reckons his former bandmate continues to carry the “soul” of Nirvana – who broke up following the suicide of frontman Kurt Cobain on April 8, 1994 – while hanging around with the bass player awakens strong emotional memories.
Dave spoke to music magazine NME about Krist, saying that “he hasn’t changed a bit, so to hear him speak or to hear him tell stories or to hear him talk about Nirvana…it really brings back the feeling of being in the band because it’s just part of his soul”.
The 42-year-old also stated that the legendary grunge band’s dynamic was developed through the fine balance between the personality and drive of Krist and Kurt.
Dave said that “you’ve got Krist, who was totally politically motivated, and then you’ve got Kurt, who was just such a brilliant artist, that it was that weird conflict or dichotomy – or whatever it is”.
The Learn To Fly hitmaker added that “those two things shouldn’t really co-exist in a way, so, whenever something’s released, usually to me it’s only authentic if it comes from Krist Novoselic”.
Krist and Dave worked together recently on song I Should Have Known, which is included on Foo Fighters’ most recent album, Wasting Light, while the duo also got together to work on the remastered version of Nevermind – Nirvana’s classic album from 1991.
