That guy from Nirvana

I totally agree with bassguy, Lounge Act is one of the best Nirvana bass lines. Listen to Stay Away too, thats a great one. Also, Dumb is cool, and Mr. Moustache. If you think Krist isn't creative, you haven't listened to Nirvana enough, or you just haven't been paying attention. Don't say that Krist isn't creative, that's blind ignorance!
j****s ****ing c*****, people ! the man wasn't *that* good ! Dave Grohl was the dopest member of that band, and still is ... so ner 
Krist is okay , I like some of his bass lines. 'Lounge act' has to be 1 of my favorites, the tone is so great on this track. For this type of music he is pretty cool because loads of other bassists just follow the guitar. I like the way how he starts off some of Nirvana's tracks with the bass to prove that he is actually playing something interesting. Others would just start at the same time as the guitar so they can hide their playing especially if they are crap , not all bassists but some of them.
yeah alot of Krist's lines are great. I own the "Nirvana Bass Collection" book and it has notation and tablature for various songs off many albums and many of them are awwwesome.
The bass lines from Hairspray Queen (also called Disco Godess) and Love Buzz are great! Lounge Act, as said before, has an awesome bass line. He has some good stuff, but it seems like half the lines he wrote werent even the best he could do. I think he just made stuff that sounded good, he didnt try to make the most complicated lines or anything. Even though most of his lines are pretty simple, they sound awesome!
