Krist Novoselic, the former Nirvana bassist turned outspoken political advocate, has been blogging for a year for the Seattle Weekly. On the one-year anniversary of the column, Krist recalled perhaps his most notorious moment in the band (as opposed to Kurt Cobain, who had many). A perfect Thanksgiving tale, the story of Novoselic's infamous botched bass toss at the 1992 MTV Music Video Awards involves everyone from Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love to Brian May, Duff McKagan, and—yes—Axl Rose.

No summary could do the piece justice, but let me try: first off, Courtney Love had pissed off Axl Rose by claiming he was Francis Bean's godfather, to which Axl told Kurt to "keep his woman in line." Then, Kurt told MTV they were going to play "Rape Me," which burst the blood vessels in MTV's collective forehead. Nirvana eventually agreed to play "Lithium," while playing the first few chords of "Rape Me" at first just to prank MTV. Then, Krist's bass was plugged into an crappy amp that made an ungodly noise, so Krist, after multiple beers and a strange encounter with Duff, decided to do a bass toss. He claims this is the one time he actually didn't catch the bass. Though he was not seriously injured (despite a bleeding forehead), Krist played it up for show, and crawled off stage. As paramedics came, they were cleared away by Queen's Brian May, who simply offered Novoselic champagne. End of story.

If that doesn't sound like a wild enough night for you, read Novoselic's full account of the evening. It's definitely worth your time. And in case you haven't seen the incident: enjoy:
