]]>During a recent interview with Howard Stern, Grohl, who now fronts rock heavyweights Foo Fighters, spoke about the relationship he has with bassist Krist Novoselic and Nirvana’s touring guitarist Pat Smear. Grohl revealed that the trio remains good friends and will occasionally engage in jam sessions.
“We don’t like run through a big old Nirvana setlist, but we do like to just fool around, and sometimes as we’re fooling around, songs happen,” said Grohl. “And you know if we’re in a studio, we’ll record them. So we’ve recorded some stuff that’s really cool.”
But Grohl immediately gave Nirvana fans a cold shower, saying that it’s unlikely any of that stuff will reach the public.
“But we’ve never done anything with it. To us, it’s more just like friends, jamming around, it doesn’t really seem like any sort of like a big official reunion,” he explained before adding that the stuff they do is just instrumental.
Since 1994, Nirvana’s living members have reunited on multiple occasions. The first one was in 2012 when Grohl, Novoselic, and Smear joined Paul McCartney on several shows to perform their collab effort “Cut Me Some Slack.”
They then reunited in 2014 for Nirvana’s induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The trio performed a four-song set at the ceremony with guest vocalists before performing a full show at Brooklyn’s St. Vitus Bar.
Novoselic and Grohl played together several times after this, including Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy party in 2016 and Cal Jam festival in 2018.

]]>Last week, the surviving members of Nirvana reunited on stage for the second time since Kurt Cobain’s death. Dave Grohl has since described the reunion as “spiritual”.
The ex-drummer from the iconic rock band opened up to Kerrang! about what it was like to reunite with his former band. Bassist Krist Novoselic and guitarist Pat Smear performed six songs together at Cal Jam in San Bernadino. Their setlist was as follows:
Serve The Servants’ (with John McCauley)
‘Scentless Apprentice’ (with John McCauley)
‘In Bloom’ (with John McCauley)
‘Breed’ (with Joan Jett)
‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ (with Joan Jett)
‘All Apologies’ (with Joan Jett and Brody Dalle)
Grohl claimed to be beaming when they played legendary track “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”
“When Pat, Krist and I sat down to go through those songs in a small rehearsal room with concrete walls, it f****n’ sounded like Nirvana,” he told Kerrang!
“It was like being shot into outer space,” he said. “Being able to play that drum fill and break into the chorus…it’s spiritual, physical, emotional.”
He continued: “We would look at each other and smile, but the emotions would kind of go in waves, because there was someone missing – and you wish that you could still share those songs with Kurt.”
Does this mean that we can expect more performances from the surviving Nirvana members in the future? We can only hope.
