00:05I like Drain You a lot.
00:07Yeah, I like Drain You. I like Very Ape. I like Scentless Apprentice.
00:12There's lots of stuff from In Utero that's really good and there's loads of stuff from Nevermind that's really good.
00:17I don't know, it's impossible to pin that down.
00:20My favourite Nirvana song is Scentless Apprentice.
00:23The reason why it's my favourite is because it's probably the heaviest song to ever wrote.
00:29I like to listen to it before the show and it makes me want to snap my teeth off.
00:34There was a point in time that we listened to that song before every single show, seriously.
00:40I like In Bloom.
00:43That's the one I like as well.
00:45It's just how heavy it is.
00:46It's funny, the guitar solo on it is like, it's the same thing that they did in Pet Sounds with
00:51the bass.
00:51It moves out a kind of sync with the rest of the song, the key thing.
00:54And the guitar solo is kind of similar so I liked it.
00:58I like that one, it smells like tea spirit I think it's called.
01:02I don't know if you've heard it but it's pretty cool, it's a pretty good one.
01:06Scentless Apprentice.
01:08I do, I like Scentless Apprentice, I like that one.
01:10I like Pennyroyal Tea.
01:12Oh yeah, it's a badass one too.
01:14Favourite Nirvana track is Floyd the Barber.
01:20It's brilliant, I like that, I like Polly as well.
01:24I was more into Smashing Pumpkins, not really that into Nirvana.
01:28It's a bad answer isn't it?
01:29Yeah, Rape Me.
01:31What was the one that we used to do in Soundcheck occasionally?
01:34I Don't Have a Gun, that one.
01:37In Bloom wasn't it?
01:38Yeah, In Bloom.
01:39It was actually one of Bernard's favourites.
01:41He was actually a big Nirvana fan.
01:43I know we were always kind of like grunge versus the British bands.
01:47But yeah, we used to play in Bloom occasionally in Soundcheck.
01:52Yeah, that's a good song.
01:54I used to get the local youth club to play the CD.
01:59So it could just like slam dance to Evening His Youth at the youth club.
02:03And that's a really, it's a really cool memory for me.
02:07We were playing a show in Portland a couple of years ago and someone shouted Nirvana rule or something like
02:14that.
02:15I don't know, it was something ridiculous.
02:16Something impromptu version of Evening His Youth.
02:19I love that one.
02:23Currently my favourite song, Man of Honour, is In Bloom.
02:26It always changes because I still listen to them quite a lot.
02:29I think it's because I'd watched, what do you call it, classic albums and they were apart.
02:38And you know, and they'd break it all down and play all the parts separate.
02:41And all the, like, and they were playing all the harmonies and stuff.
02:47And I didn't really, like, lock into them until I heard them on that thing.
02:50And I just think that, and it obviously just sounds amazing.
02:54I really have always loved Lithium because it was one of the first songs I learned how to play on
02:58guitar.
02:59So, that one always kind of, it's been a special one for me.
03:12I don't know the name of it, that's my favourite song.
03:15My favourite Nirvana song is In Bloom. Just the drums.
03:18The drum fill.
03:20This is the fucking, the best song.
03:22And I always listen, whenever I go in the studio, I always listen to that with the big monitors.
03:25To, like, get used to the room and everything.
03:27And it's just a song that is ingrained in me. You know what I mean? It's just, In Bloom.
03:32Yeah, like, Dave Grohl manages to write, like, riffs on drums. You know what I mean? It's like, he's ridiculous.
03:38So, um, it's hard to disagree with that.
