My older brother was around 12 and his friends would sleep over an watch Headbangers ball and me being the annoying little sister wanted to hang out with my big bro and his cool friends. One night I barged into his room and they were watching this interview. I had no idea who Kurt Cobain or Nirvana was yet an I asked my brother and his friends" Why is that guy dressed like a banana?" Lol..my brother got mad and kicked me out of his room. Now 25 years later I stumbled across this interview and seeing Kurt in that yellow ball gown and laughing because as a child I thought it was a damn banana costume. Later became a Nirvana fan but didn't see this interview again until recent years. Gotta love Kurt's sense of humor!

Nirvana always had a chip on their shoulder about what they considered the sexist homophobic macho rock scene. I'm sure that they had some preconceived notions about the Headbanger's Ball audience and Kurt was trying to be somewhat provocative by showing up in a dress. Krist mentioning that the bands he liked have good political opinions was another clue about where their mindset was.

one of reasons why nirvana is one of the best bands ever that they lead you into different types of music. the public enemy shout of Kris said it all

Kris always displayed so much patience with the questions and the interviewers, it's remarkable. Not saying it was a rule, but there seemed to be a pattern where Kurt came over as defiant, sometimes slightly belligerent and Dave came across as cynical and already jaded. Good thing they had Kris in those interviews.

Me too

I still seem to feel the same way way as I did back when I was maybe 14 or 15 and saw this interview on TV; that Headbanger's Ball was a show that was becoming antiquated during the emergence of Nirvana and the grunge and alternative movement. And it was ever so subtly evident in this interview. Indeed the difference in generations can be seen when you visually compare the 80's look of Ricky vs the unpretentious t-shirt and jeans and flannels with no hairspray look of Nirvana and other grunge acts. The music Headbanger's Ball seemed to champion was the metal of the generations that came before and they'd gotten their start on hair metal bands of the 80's like Twisted Sister, and the LA scene of metal. onward towards the late 80's to early 90's you'd often see bands like Metallica, Slayer, Megadeath, Pantera and Sepultura, etc. But although Headbanger's Ball lost its relevance and was canceled around 94 or 5 as the grunge wave washed over the music scene, the hosts of the show still gave respect to the new generation of rock artists on the rise, as was also evident in the episode when Alice in Chains went to the Action Park water park with Headbanger's Ball too. That's something I appreciate. I think i took it for granted back then around the time Guns and Roses were ungracefully falling from relevance and bands like Metallica originally ripped on the new grunge bands that were coming out, before later on coming to appreciate and respect them and even morn them when they passed on. In summary when it's all said and done, rock music fans and bands share a camaraderie and respect for each other that, in the end, keeps the love of rock music alive across all generations.

I love the pixies but alot of their songs went a bit off in the bridges, much respect for what they did as a band though. I loved their rendition of the strange creepy erotic deranged testicle cheek girl in the radiator of that one movie "Eraserhead" I thought was so funny, "In Heaven everything is fine, you got your good things and I've got mine". They're rendition was very well executed. Simply powerful or that's my opinion anyway. It's good that Nirvana talked about those bands in those interviews. Otherwise I wouldn't have ever heard of them myself when I was a teenager. lived in too remote of a town, Hard to even find "Spin" magazine.
