Long live 1991.

MTV has released some "Vintage Video" of the young Pumpkins and a fresh faced Nirvana playing a rousing game of CRISCO TWISTER.

Vintage Video: Nirvana & Smashing Pumpkins In ‘Crisco Twister’

Back in ‘91, before all the glitz and graphics and manipulatively salacious voiceovers, all we had at MTV were great bands, board games and a huge amount of lard. That’s no clever wordplay. I literally mean that we had a ton of Crisco on hand. Or so it would seem from the very lo-fi production below, in which Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic strips down to briefs and gets a full body Crisco massage from Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl, before playing slippery Twister with Smashing Pumpkins.

Billy Corgan has long hair. I forgot that was even possible. Also, pre-peroxide James Iha looks so nervous, it’s amazing he didn’t die. Watch as a very lively (read: alive) Kurt Cobain playfully launches globs of Crisco across the room as a quiet audience inexplicably barely looks up from their beers and cigarettes. It looks like it’s about one in the afternoon. What?! The nineties officially made absolutely no sense.

Wow, fun times

I realize that probably sounded really sarcastic but I really did mean it. It's an interesting video.

[carapatricia]

wow, watching that video reminded me that Krist Novoselic was kinda hot in the 90s.



not so much now.

YAH RIGHT.

[BlindedBySight]

I think Nirvana would've ended up like the Who, sellout wise.

[cahiers]

I still can't watch this video...youtube version anyone?

[MoreTunesMan]

that's prety cool, i had no idea these two bands ever hung out

i only knew about the whole billy/kurt/courtney love triangle thing

nice video tho! good job

[bring_the_light]

not at all. Krist and Dave have admitted that Nirvana was over anyway - the band had been dead but just not publicly announced, the story was breaking around the time kurt died. day before kurt was found NME's front cover was detailing how Nirvana has split

kurt wouldnt of turn out like the who, as kurt said: 'i hope i die before i turn into pete townsend'

I still can't watch this video...youtube version anyone?

it says that the video cant be watched outside the USA.

does anyone know a way around this????

[bjthepumpkinguy]

two of the major alt-rock gods in the early 90's..

i miss those days!
without eddie v. on the crisco twister of course..

[jfn1ster]

This video is so awesome. D'arcy telling Krist to not "flash everyone"

Nice.

[perfectjustlikeme12]

not so much now.

All his hair went straight from his head to his beard

But he was okay looking in the 90's .

[the_farewell_party]

The video wont even play in Canada! C'mon! We're only, like, the 2ND BIGGEST COUNTRY ON EARTH!

Hey, I just found the youtube vid!

yay!

[Arnold_Schwarzenegger]

Totally surreal. It's weird seeing Billy Corgan and Kurt Cobain on camera together, let alone having James, Dave, D'arcy, and naked Krist there too playing Twister haha.

[frosty]

the game didn't last very long. stuff like that makes me wish i was a roadie or something for SP. seems like it would be fun especially at music festivals.

[StarlasLastKiss]

wow, darcys really hot. i think im in love..

[bring_the_light]

move to the usa

would rather die

[promiseoftin]

Finally just watched that. Freaking hi-larious! Whatever they were smoking, I want some.

[doomsdayclock]

wow, darcys really hot. i think im in love..

it is, according to infinite pictures

[Account Deleted]

then infinite pictures lied, because it's from 2001 and was taken when d'arcy was arrested.

ok, my bad

but this gotta be adore period:

[Account Deleted]

technically it's from the arising tour in 1999, but close enough

[MachinesOfLight]

as far as games of twister go, thats definately an odd one.

it says that the video cant be watched outside the USA.

hmm it works in australia.

[Macko_lanter9]

the greats among us!

so much talent for such a small room.....

wish I was there!

note: the room is divided, the normal ppl are sitting down
and the rest steal the show!

[hotoriousDICK]

cant watch it now, but it looks awesome. its things like this that makes me wish i grew up in the 90s

at least old enough to remember most of 91 go up instead of just 96 go up.

But yes I don't know while some bands have done similar stuff nowadays like all american rejects, there's just something about the 90s that's a lot more "golden" I guess. Maybe because it was the last decade where you could have easily made a controversy still? Individualism was pure? (and I say that word in a non trendy way) ok i'll shut up now

That video just wins. And for the person who mentioned the kurt/billy/courtney triangle. If this is indeed 91 it musta been just before.
