Krist Novoselić Zitate

Krist Anthony Novoselić ist ein US-amerikanischer Musiker und Gründungsmitglied der Band Nirvana.

Der Sohn der aus Kroatien stammenden Kristo und Maria Novoselić zog mit seiner Familie 1966 von Compton nach San Pedro, wo er mit seinen beiden Brüdern und seiner 1973 geborenen Schwester den Großteil seiner Kindheit verbrachte. 1979 zog die Familie nach Aberdeen im Staat Washington. Im Juni 1980 schickten seine Eltern ihn nach Kroatien, wo er ein Jahr bei Verwandten lebte. Nach seiner Rückkehr lernte er 1982 Kurt Cobain kennen, mit dem er ab 1986 in verschiedenen Bands spielte und 1987 die Band Nirvana gründete, deren Bassist er bis zu deren Auflösung 1994 blieb.

Nach Cobains Tod 1994 veröffentlichte er Alben mit den Bands Sweet 75, No WTO Combo und Eyes Adrift. Diese blieben auch deshalb kommerziell erfolglos, weil sich Novoselic mehrfach negativ in Bezug auf das Musikmagazin Rolling Stone und den Musiksender MTV geäußert hatte und diese daraufhin ihre Unterstützung entzogen.

Im Jahr 2004 erwog Novoselic, der sich in der Demokratischen Partei engagiert, sich um den Posten des Vizegouverneurs seines Heimatstaates Washington zu bewerben, nahm aber später davon Abstand. Im selben Jahr heiratete er zum zweiten Mal und veröffentlichte sein erstes Buch Of Grunge and Government: Let's Fix This Broken Democracy. Im Februar 2005 trat er als Moderator eines Benefiz-Festivals in Seattle für die Opfer des Seebebens 2004 auf.

Im Dezember 2006 ersetzte Novoselic den Bassisten DeSmartass der Band Flipper für eine UK- und Irland-Tour und kehrte damit zur Musik zurück. Er wurde festes Mitglied der Band und nahm mit ihr ein Studioalbum auf. Ende September 2008 gab er seinen Austritt aus der Band bekannt.Seit November 2007 schreibt Novoselic eine wöchentliche Kolumne über Musik und Politik für die Seattle Weekly's Website. Er ist Vorstandsmitglied bei FairVote. Diese Organisation setzt sich für ein besseres Wahlrecht in den Vereinigten Staaten ein.Im Jahre 2011 spielte er auf dem Album „Wasting Light“ der Band Foo Fighters auf dem Lied I Should Have Known Bass und Akkordeon. 2013 beteiligte er sich an einem Projekt seines ehemaligen Bandkollegen Dave Grohl über die Sound-City-Studios in Los Angeles. Mit weiteren Musikern nahmen sie eine CD auf und darauf das Lied Cut Me Some Slack, für das sie mit einem Grammy Award für den besten Rocksong ausgezeichnet wurden. Wikipedia

Krist Novoselić: Zitate auf Englisch

“We weren't really interested in those bands; we were—because we came out of this subterranean scene. And then Nirvana breaks big, and it's just diametrically opposite: we have, like, facial hair, and just, kind of, logger shirts, but we're all, like, "sensitive" and "feminine"—you know what I mean?”

“I voted last week, and everything I voted for was defeated. I voted for less police station money and against adding more courtrooms. The guy I voted for, a congressman, lost big time because he's totally anti-military. He wanted to cut the CIA budget! He's really cool. But he lost.”

“Nick Gillespie: So, um, how do you self-describe politically?
Krist Novoselic: I'm a, what, an anarcho-capitalist socialist…I don't know…I'm kinda a moderate, I think I'm moderate.
Nick Gillespie: So you're an anarcho-capitalist socialist moderate.
Krist Novoselic: I mean I'm a gun-owning pacifist, so there you go. I'm an anarcho-socialist—you know what I mean?
Nick Gillespie: Anarcho-socialist—
Krist Novoselic: —capitalist—
Nick Gillespie: —capitalist, gun-toting…
Krist Novoselic: Yeah, it's just like I, y'know, I just tryin'a, tryin'a make it work in this world and…basically I'm just a small-D democrat.”

Video interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWU2aljeMqE, 1991

“Well, I think it just goes back to the values that I grew up with in the punk rock world because it was this decentralised world, and so we just made our own way— like we'd be antigovernment or, you know— but we really didn't complain a lot; we were more action-oriented, like, people were publishing fanzines, we were setting up shows, we were getting in vans and touring around, and we were associating with other people, so…y'know, I just like that idea.”

“Yeah, I was a Democrat for about four or five years— active Democrat— and I thought I could reform the party; maybe I wasn't going about it right, maybe somebody can and somebody will, y'know? But I don't see it. It's just a top-down structure, it's a soft-money conduit, and, y'know, and like Nancy Pelosi, she's gonna lose the election again, and it's just like, what's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing—wrong, wrong thing—over and over again. Republicans, they have a real big demographic problem, because they're the party of old white people, and they're not reaching out to folks.”
