Ex-Nirvana drummer Chad Channing was recently Interviewed by Kaaos TV. When asked about leaving the band before they exploded with ‘Nevermind’, he said:

“I have no regrets because I always thought that things just sort of fall in place for a reason. For example, I was that perfect puzzle piece for the band at the time, and then they needed another piece to do other things and stuff.”
Our differences were strictly on a musical level. We always stayed friends. In fact, I remember the first time I saw them with Dave [Grohl] at this place called the OK Hotel. It was the first time I’d seen the guys in probably a year or so, and it was really good to see them. It was like, ‘Hey, how’s it going?’ It was very friendly.”
“I found out what a really nice guy Dave is. So it was really cool meeting him too. I have no regrets. I look back at those days and I think, ‘Wow, I played a small part in something.’ So I’m happy with that.”
