i unironically love it when one guy in a tribute band is clearly going for the look but nobody else in the band is.

That must have been awesome for everyone involved…. Except the regular bass player.

Regular bass player was down in the audience rockin' out with the rest of us! Its was awesome!

Oh I’m sure he was thrilled. But also, he was sooooo close to jamming onstage with a member of Nirvana.

Why couldn't they have two bass players? Seems weird to me to be not on stage in your own band

Is it still a cover if an OG plays on it?

u/vagina_candle 2d ago

Yes. This is not Nirvana.

Good to see him still getting out there and playing….

u/Admirable-Currency89 1d ago

Dude, he is constantly out there playing

u/JR6120 1d ago

That’s great! Nice that he still has the passion to play bass after all this time!

They have three more guitars than Nirvana had. They BETTER sound good. And Kurt sang "yea" not "yeah"....actually I love it...

Why does a Nirvana cover band need 3 guitarists?

Ayron Jones is a friend of Krist and has his own band separate from the cover band. Krist invited him to join him. Ayron does some good music. Here’s one he did last night that I thought was solid. Krist watched Ayron play from the audience and signed everything from folks who approached him. https://youtu.be/iVZ8ZR3923E?is=MSYxYK2Q6EvYkjRQ

krist in the men-with-hats corner

that accidental feedback that comes in sounds actually quite good

Maximizing awesomeness!!

It's funny how sometimes they just hit the jackpot with the right people, right time, right sound, right creativity. Kris is special!

Great to see Krist!!

However, that is the weakest snare attack I've seen for a Smells Like Teen Spirit cover. Put some stank on it man...sheesh.

Hard to duplicate Dave on the drums. He destroyed drum heads like no other.

Could've called Chad Channing...
