“I’ve tried it,” Cobain said of “The Dreamer” in the video. “I dreamed about German shepherds and having sex with my stepfather and eating flowers and smoking potpourri….it’s really amazing, it really works.”
The interview happened at Hollywood Rock Brazil in 1993. In it, Cobain is messing around with a Taser and even pretends to shock the interviewer with it.
In addition to “The Dreamer” clip, MTV also unleashed a 38-minute unedited interview with Cobain.
