Meanwhile, Nirvanaâs Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic recently admitted to prank-calling KISSâ Gene Simmons and Pearl Jamâs Eddie Vedder while making what would be their final album, In Utero.
Chatting on the Conan OâBrien Needs a Friend podcast, the bandâs surviving members and producer Steve Albini explained it was a way of passing the time at Pachyderm Recording Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, because there was nothing else to do.
âThis was in February, in the dead of winter, in the middle of fâking nowhere,â said Grohl. âSo even just the walk from the house to the studio, which was what â 100 yards if that â you risk frostbite.â
They chatted about prank calling Simmons. âI pretended to be Kurt [Cobain] calling Gene Simmons,â Albini recalled.
âGene Simmons had called their management because there was a KISS tribute album being put together, and Nirvana â the biggest band in the world â were friends with the Melvins, and Melvins did a KISS cover, and he assumed that Nirvana would want to do a KISS cover. Gene Simmons cannot fathom that anyone on earth is not a massive KISS fan.â
âSo the word comes down that Gene Simmons is desperate to get Nirvana on this album and Kurt is like, I donât want to talk to fâking Gene Simmons, and I said, Iâll do it!â continued Albini, explaining that Cobain was sitting next to him the whole time.
âSo I called him back, and I pretended to be Kurt, and I parried the whole thing away by saying that I wasnât making all the decisions because I had a reliability problem. And Kurt is sitting right next to me, listening to me doing an impression of him. [In Kurt Cobain voice] âDo you know The Wipers? I really love The Wipersâ. And Gene Simmons comes back with, âI donât know The Wipers. I know the Melvins. I love the Melvins!ââ
