-“Wow, which would I pick? I like ‘Lithium’, I like ‘Heart Shaped Box’, I like some of the work I did on that. ‘Lounge Act’ is good. ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. ‘In Bloom’… that was my Mike Mills bass part. Those little fills I do there were swiped off R.E.M. records. I like the bass I do on ‘Something In The Way’, the way I march up and down that scale. It’s only four or five notes, but the whole point of ‘Something In The Way’ is not to get in the way.”
At the 1992 MTV Music Video Awards, Novoselic threw his bass in the air, forgetting that it would be coming down again shortly afterwards. It landed on his head.
-“Oh that was mega! Yeah! What happened was, there was all this weirdness going on, like bad energy. We started playing this song and my amp just didn’t work. It basically took a crap on me.
"So I thought ‘I’m gonna do this bass toss and walk off’. Well, the bass got caught in the TV lights, and then boom! It fell on my head. I was like ‘Oh man, I’m so embarrassed, what am I gonna do?’ It was in front of 200 million people, right? So I storm off stage, like ‘I’m outta here!’ and I find this bathroom and I see there’s blood on my hands.
"So I wash my head and I wash my hands, and these paramedics come and take a look at me and they say ‘Oh, you’re fine’ and put a bandage on and say ‘Sign here’ and I had to sign all these release forms so I’m not gonna sue anybody. So I’m all annoyed, right, and I’m like ‘What the hell!’ and behind them there is this amazing fellow, with a glass of champagne.
"It’s Brian May! Ha ha! Just standing there politely. He says ‘Here you are, my good man’ and he hands me this glass of champagne. I’m like ‘Thank you so much’! It was amazing, I felt so much better. I was like ‘You’re Brian May! How are you?’ and he was said, ‘More importantly, how are you?’”
