So I’m sitting there writing one in every of these tales out, and somebody mentioned, ‘Hey, Post Malone is dwell on YouTube proper now doing an entire set of Nirvana covers.’ And I’ve met him earlier than. He’s very nice; he’s actually cool. I’ve met his dad; he’s cool too. So I used to be, like, ‘Oh, that’s type of cool.

They’re, like, ‘It’s fairly good.’ I’m, like, ‘Really?’ So I carry on writing. One other textual content is available in, ‘Dude, are you watching this Post Malone factor?’ And I’m, like, ‘No.’ So lastly I tuned it… I began watching, and to start with, watching Travis play the drums to these Nirvana songs, I used to be honored — I believed that was tremendous cool.

Greater than the sound of it and greater than the chords and no matter, it simply form of felt good. To me, it didn’t really feel bizarre. They had been killing it. So I watched a bunch of it. I used to be, like, ‘That was actually cool.’
