Surviving NIRVANA members – drummer Dave Grohl, bassist Krist Novoselic and touring guitarist-turned-actual-band member Pat Smear reunited onstage last Thursday night (January 30th) during the FireAid benefit concert in LA for a previously unannounced performance of several of Nirvana’s classic songs.
Filling the lead vocal slot vacated by Kurt Cobain’s death almost 31 years ago were guest singers St. Vincent, Joan Jett, Kim Gordon and Violet Grohl, Dave’s 18-year-old daughter. There are plenty of other occasions over the last 30-odd years where the Nirvana guys have played together as well, and with YouTube views of their FireAid performance already well into the millions, it doesn’t feel disrespectful to ask the question; Is it time for a full-on Nirvana reunion?
The guys also chat about new releases from Spiritbox and Stray From The Path, along with big announcements from Radar Festival and Arctangent.
