Krist Novoselic, the Pete Best of Nirvana, claims there is an overabundance of unreleased video material in their archive, yet not a single lost studio recording to milk another greatest hits album out of.
“There’s a lot of video,” Novoselic told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (A newspaper that will soon be closing its doors as a result of a declining literacy rate). “There’s not going to be any new Nirvana records.”
Nirvana’s last chart-topping single “You Know Your Right” (which went as high as number 11 in Latvia) came eight years after Kurt Cobain’s successful suicide attempt.
“[The song] was a big surprise with people,” Novoselic said. “I had that master tape stashed and didn’t tell anybody.”
Years of legal squabbling followed, but eventually Novoselic, bandmate Dave Grohl, and Cobain’s heir, Courtney Love, set aside their differences for lots and lots of money and of course the fans, because who could forget about them?
“Yeah, it’s a good thing,” Novoselic said in regards to mending the rift between himself and Love. “It’s not bad terms.”
Novoselic also used the interview as an opportunity to refute rumors that he turned down Grohl during the initial formation of the Foo Fighters.
“I didn’t balk at it at all,” he said. “No, Dave just went and did his own thing, and I did my thing.”
