Gibson.com caught up with Nirvana bass player Krist Novoselic around the time of the album's 20th anniversary. "You know that the time from when the album was released and the tragic way the band ended seems like a decade in itself but it was actually two and a half years," Novoselic said.

"It was an intense time and a lot happened that it feels like the period is longer. Things were never the same after that and the subsequent time was more normal - whatever that means! Suffice it to say I have much better perspective after 20 years than I did after two."
