]]> Fans who attended Foo Fighters’ show at Seattle’s Safeco Field on Saturday were in for a real treat. They had the opportunity to witness the surviving members of Nirvana – Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear – reuniting on stage for the first time since 2016 and playing Vaseline’s “Molly’s Lips.” The track was frequently performed at Nirvana’s live shows and was featured on Incesticide album.

“This is an old song, we haven’t done this song together in a long time,” – Grohl told the audience before welcoming Novoselic onto the stage.

You can check out the video and a photo from the reunion below.

This mini-Nirvana reunion wasn’t an accident. Krist Novoselic came at Safeco Field with his new band Giants in the Trees and played as an opening act for Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters.

If you are bummed out for missing out on this epic reunion, don’t worry. There might be a chance for this to happen once again in the near future. On October 16th, Novoselic will be with Giants in the Trees at Cal Jam 2018, music festival curated by Grohl so they could easily do one of Nirvana oldies for fun once again. Fingers crossed!

]]> While Dave Grohl has built a name for himself as a Foo Fighters frontman in the past two decades, older music fans will always think of him as Nirvana’s drummer first. Grohl recently spoke with GQ Magazine and admitted that he still can’t get himself to play a Nirvana song, even 24 years after Kurt Cobain’s suicide.

“I don’t put Nirvana records on, no,” Grohl said. “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. I remember everything about those records; I remember the shorts I was wearing when we recorded them or that it snowed that day. Still, I go back and find new meanings to Kurt’s lyrics. Not to seem revisionist, but there are times when it hits me. You go, ‘Wow, I didn’t realize he was feeling that way at the time.’”

Dave Grohl also revealed that he couldn’t listen to any music for years after Cobain’s death.

“For years I couldn’t even listen to any music, let alone a Nirvana song,” the 49 year old explained. “When Kurt died, every time the radio came on, it broke my heart.”

After starting his music career with hardcore punk band Scream, Dave Grohl joined Nirvana in 1990 in time to record 1991’s Nevermind. With Nevermind, Nirvana achieved mainstream success in no time and became arguably the biggest band of the ’90s. Still the story of Nirvana came to an end in 1994, when frontman Kurt Cobain decided to take his own life. After taking a break from music, Grohl decided to ditch the drums and take on guitar, forming Foo Fighters and becoming a rock ‘n’ roll legend we know and love today.
