Dave Grohl has acknowledged that he “still can’t listen to Nirvana” after losing Kurt Cobain who took his own life in 1994.
Grohl explains that since his friend and bandmate’s death, he hasn’t been able to listen to Nirvana’s albums because it’s “so personal”.
He admits that it’s “almost impossible” to listen to old Nirvana songs. “I don’t put Nirvana records on, no. Although they are always on somewhere. I get in the car, they’re on. I go into a shop, they’re on. For me, it’s so personal.
Grohl added that his memories of making the NIRVANA albums he played on are as vivid as ever, saying: “I remember everything about those records; I remember the shorts I was wearing when we recorded them or that it snowed that day.”
“Not to seem revisionist, but there are times when it hits me. You go, ‘Wow, I didn’t realise he was feeling that way at the time’.
“Nirvana, for me, was a personal revolution, I was 21. You remember being 21? You think you know it all. But you don’t. I thought I knew everything. And being in Nirvana showed me how little I really knew.
“They were some of the greatest highs of my life, but also, of course, one of the biggest lows.”
