They had been rehearsing for 3 months straight, 10 hours a day. That’s all they did. The reason they loved to go to rehearsal is because the apartment they had was so shitty and so cold they couldn’t wait to get out of there. So basically they lived in that rehearsal room. And when we came down to track Nevermind, they were whip-tight. Super, super tight.
— Butch Vig, in a two-hour long conversation with Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and Jon Stewart (Dave Grohl: “That whole slacker generation thing totally didn’t apply to us musically. When we went to work on music, we were serious about it. We weren’t late. We showed up and tried hard. We wanted to make a great record.”)
