Last Nirvana Member Standing

Krist Novoselic Now, the world is left with Dave Grohl as the only remaining performing member of Nirvana: Krist Noveselic is leaving the music business. He writes on the website of his current band, Eyes Adrift:

I can't read the magazines, listen to the radio or watch music television without feeling like I've just come in from outer space. I just don't get it and I probably never did. My lot in life is that every band I've ever been in just falls apart. That hurts but I've got a thick hide from years of conditioning.

His prescription? Leave music. Gothamist's prescription? A good therapist. [Via Glenn, who says Novoselic's bands are way worse than the Foo Fighters. Yeah, but Novoselic didn't make us see him in drag with Jack Black in drag.]

It's okay that he said this, he had a great time in Nirvana, and he'll always be remembered in the grunge generation.

krist and dave knew, just didnt want to fight courtney, fuck i mean after el duce dying like a week after he admitted that courtney offered him 50,000 to kill kurt, i mean its obvious, but whats done is done, i still never can get passed the fact that it had to happen though. Kurt was a great kind man, and his life was taken, and not by him...

keep going for all the pathetic suicidal assholes that Kurt managed to reach out to and remember Kurts own adopted catch phrase "PUNK IS FREEDOM!!!!!!!!"

Krist come on Kurt bailed out too early dont you do the same!!! I cant stand "foo fighters" and although i have a great amount of respect for anyone who was in nirvana im so disapointed in Dave. Come on Krist you have to finish what Kurt couldn't.

Grunge was a punk movement therefore Krist is doing a noble thing by giveing up instead of sellingout meaning he is staying true to his movement trust me i know what punk is i live in a third world country[Dominican Republic]

How upset is Kris that Dave Grohl is so successful in this pimped out way? I kinda imagine Grohl joining a militia. While Dave Grohl is blathering on about how hot Molly Ringwald was on VH1's Icons. Not that Molly Ringwald isn't/wasn't hot. But really, Dave is such a little publicity whore. Almost more so than Courtney.

Dave Grohl in drag is sooo much better than standing through a Sweet 75 show. It was one of the worst experiences in my concert-going life (right behind 4 Non Blondes).

Kris thinks it's better to give up than sell out. For a guy in his financial position, I suppose that's fine. And maybe for the best. There's nothing worse than an artist who shoots for the mainstream after he realizes his DIY ethics aren't gonna send his kids to college.

As my colleague said when he saw this yesterday, Noveselic never needs to do anything again -- the guy's freakin' rich.

He can write crappy, suicidal poetry for the rest of his life and if it doesn't pass muster he can reassure himself that at least he never sold out.
