“For as long as I can remember him being in the band, Dave was always asking for us to do a Europe tour. I suppose he had fond memories of it back from his days with Scream. But Kurt had wanted us to build up a lot of popularity in the United States first before we tried getting famous in Europe.” – Krist Novoselic
“The Europe tour was awesome. Even though we hadn’t really toured it much before, they fucking loved us. We even got the crowds to sing along with our songs. We were immensely popular there without so much as a visit, which was a big shock to me.” – Dave Grohl

“After the tour, Kurt said we could take a month break. He stayed in the UK, while me and Dave returned to the States. We spent most of the time hanging out with the Melvins, or tagging along with Soundgarden’s tour. At one point, we even got invited on stage and jammed with Cornell, which was sweet.” – Krist Novoselic
“I had decided that I wanted to do a collaboration with Kurt in November. We met in Georgia, I played him some demos from Monster, and he played some Nirvana songs. We recorded it in three sessions, and then had Rain Phoenix come in and sing for us in this one song me and Kurt wrote, called ‘Let Me In’, which we dedicated to River. It was a very powerful song.” – Michael Stipe
