I only know of Chad Chaddington in terms of previous Nirvana drummers, and he was great but too "metally". And I know that Nirvana were inspired by The Melvins, but also Pixies. Dave Grohl was perfect for the Nirvana sound: tight, beating the f*ck out of the kit beats but not over-the-top with all the double bass pedal stuff. Those three just worked perfectly, and Pat Smear's contribution was awesome too. But just those three, making that sound, a lot of it had to do with Grohl beating those drums like they owed him money, but sticking with simple, yet hard hitting beats. This is why so many people love Nirvana regardless of music taste - they were accessible, yet angry and aggressive and angsty, using what were essentially simple pop formulas but screaming and you felt that they were screaming for you. A new generation will always discover them - everyone has to have a Nirvana phase. Dave Grohl is a bit annoying now though to me. He's just everywhere. I suppose he's a celebrity but that's what I don't like. Celebrity culture is trash, whereas what Nirvana did was something special. They came out of nowhere (Seattle suddenly became the focal point of fashion, music and culture) and did what all of the greatest of the great bands do: shocked everybody. Who TF were these scruffy guys? And then they heard the music! It hit a nerve and is immortal, at least for as long as modernity (or postmodernity if you want to be pedantic) lasts anyway.

Listening to " Bleach" and Kurt's masterpiece " About A Girl".Yes, Dave, Kurt Cobain had it all regarding technical guitar excellence and composing songs.❤

As a drummer, I spent time studying one of Dave's solos that popped up on KZread. It made me realize how unique and phenomenal he is. Grohl has a seamless and perfect balance of intuitively coming up with melodic beats alongside being a human clock. Kurt mentioned that in one of his interviews when the band blew up. Hands down the best drummer of his generation. What those three guys brought in 1991 with the launch of Nevermind was very very special and Nirvana will speak to generations to come. As the country singer Jewel said about Kurt - "That type of freakish talent only comes once in a generation" That was Kurt in two words for me. A freakish talent. A true artistic genius, and not just as a musician. Miss you everyday Kurt.

I saw Nirvana when they did a tour for the Bleach album. Maybe 75 people at that show, I bought a shirt for $12 and wore it all the time. No one payed attention till Nevermind came out but didn’t know about their early release or even Sonic Youth. Dave did bring so much to the band

He's exactly right about that song, it definitely has a Beatles vibe.

Amazing song one of my favorites

I heard Bleach with a friend of mine on cassette if you can believe it. His dad found it at a house he was fixing the AC at that was a rental. I heard it probably 6 weeks before Nevermind blew up.

Listen to old Yugolsavian band Parni Valjak song Hrast and you will hear the same riff 10 years before About a girl, it came out about the time Krist Novoselic was living in Croatia then Yugoslavia.

Rick Beato's favorite Nirvana song as well and what made him return to rock.

Kurt Cobain...was a huge Beatles fan. He idolized John Lennon. Goes to show...great minds think alike. I bet Kurt was a fan of Bob Dylan as well. Today's generation typically dismisses The Beatles, but this generations music fans...have no idea that their music heroes...love bands like The Beatles. Kurt...was as much a genius muscially and lyrically as Lennon and McCartney.

About a girl still gives me chills. I love that song so much🔥👏🏼

Wow that's a pretty cool soundbite.

About a girls my favorite

You know what would be really cool, if there was someone who interviewed Dave that actually knew the very basics where we could hear about the stuff all of the fans really want to hear.

Bleach, Nevermind, and incesticide we essentially punk rock albums. In Utero was a bit of a departure and who knows what direction they were headed but I never bought nirvana being lumped in with grunge band’s simply because they were from Seattle.
