I understand Thurston and Lee's frustration, but they really crossed the line when they acted like schoolyard bullies, which is inexcusable. Nas even called him "a fucking psycho", but at least he kept his cool which I respect a lot. Anderson .Paak just kept smiling and remained humble and chill throughout, even when Nardwuar tried to embarrass him.

Yeah, no excuse for the bully shit. But I think that video is more of an embarrassment to Lee and Thurston than to anyone else, including Nard.
In fact, it's hard to tell if Nard isn't in on it. They weren't actually hitting him, and he totally went along with it. But... they broke his LP and acted like douchebags.
Thurston grabbing the mic and trying to sound irreverent and "I-don't-give-a-fuck" while he said that thing about "I don't drink and I don't fuck, but something something..." Then he kind of laughs at his own "in your face" punk irreverence (which is pathetic) and looks around to kind of nervously see if anyone else is laughing (nobody was -- not even Lee... just silence). Man, that she was Fucking EMBARRASSING.
And he was at least in his early 39's at the time. 32? Something like that. That's fucking BAD man. That's fucking REALLY BAD.
But hey, they're still my favorite band of all time, and they always will be (unless Kanye West goes totally releases 20 more years of perfect albums). I can handle the embarrassment.
I'm embarrassed by a lot of Kurt Cobain's interview behavior. Those aimless slacker kids had no idea what to do in front of a camera if they weren't playing music back then. Krist Novoselic too. Wow. Lots of embarrassing stuff from him.
Comes with the territory.
