There is a reference to GNR in here. did anyone catch it, i wonder what was said?

I heard it today, not much really.

Stewart asked who was the most unexpected people to recognize them/Nevermind and Krist said Cindy Crawford and Tom Hamilton from Aerosmith, Grohl said something about the dude from PM Dawn and the Nirvana hat showing up in a GNR video, November Rain I think.

Krist went onto say he was good friends with Duff now and Dave said his kids went to pre school with Slash's kids and Matt was the first to call him after Cobain's death.

Stewart asked about the MTV thing, Krist and Butch Vig said it was pretty intense - he and Duff nearly came to blows. Dave said it stemmed from Nirvana refusing an invitation to go on the road with GNR because they couldn't relate to where GNR was coming from at the time and didn't want to be associated with that scene.  Dave went on to say it's been a long time ago and kept things in perspective....
