Igrali so alternativni rock in grunge. • Leta 1985 sta se spoznala Kurt Cobain in Krist Novoselic ter se odločila, da ustanovita punk band. To namero sta uresničila leta 1987. • Dolgo so iskali primernega bobnarja, končno pa našli Chada Channinga. Sklenili so pogodbo z lokalno založbo Sub pop in kmalu posneli svoj prvi single LoveBuzz. S koncertiranji po Seattlu so postali priljubljeni v underground sceni. Leta 1989 so posneli svoj prvi album, Bleach. Album je bil zelo dobro sprejet in Nirvana je odšla na prvo turnejo po Ameriki in Evropi. • Nato skupino zapusti tudi Chad Channing in za komad Sliver se jim pridruži Dan Peters. Stalni bobnar nato postane Dave Grohl, dotedanji član hardrock skupine Scream. SLAVA • Septembra 1991 izdajo svoj drugi album Nevermind, ki takoj postane velik hit. Komad Smells Like Teen Spirit ponese grunge na MTV in postane himna mladih rokerjev po vsem svetu, Cobain pa največji idol po Sex pistolsih. Do leta 1992 so prodali več kot 10 milijonov kopij albuma in skupino je zajela nepričakovana svetovna slava. • Toda s tem so se težko soočali, še posebej njihov frontman Cobain, katerega zdravje je zaradi naporov, vloženih v bend, začelo trpeti. Cobain je začel jemati kokain, heroin in antidepresive, zaradi česar skupina ni bila zmožna posneti naslednjega albuma vse do leta 1993. • Leta 1992 je založba Geffen izdala album Incesticide, na katerem je bil še neizdan material, ki se je nabral v teh nekaj letih delovanja. Leta 1993 so izdali album In Utero. • Album ni dosegel uspehov Neverminda, kljub temu pa na njem lahko najdemo nekaj hitov kot so "Rape me", "All Apologies" in "Pennyroyal Tea". Za turnejo In Utero so za drugega kitarista sprejeli Pata Smeara. • V začetku leta 1994 sledi evropska turneja. V Rimu je 4. marca Cobainu spodletel poiskus samomora. Evropska turneja je bila odpovedana in skupina se je vrnila v Seattle. Cobainovo psihično stanje je bilo na dnu. Komaj dober mesec kasneje svet pretrese novica, da si je Nirvanin frontman vzel življenje. Skupina z njegovo smrtjo razpade. Tudi grunge glasba doživi velik zaton. SPENCER ELDEN PO RAZPADU SKUPINE • Po Nirvaninem razpadu izide še nekaj njenih albumov. Prvi, Unplugged in New York, izide že konec leta 1994 in velja za enega najboljših akustičnih albumov sploh. • Le dva tedna kasneje izide video kompilacija Live! Tonight! Sold Out!!, ki prikazuje dogajanje na Nevermind touru leta 1991 • Oktobra 1996 izide še album koncertnih posnetkov z naslovom From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah. • Oktobra 2002, izide še album z največjimi uspešnicami, poimenovan Nirvana, na katerem se znajde tudi do sedaj še neobjavljena pesem "You Know You're Right". • Leta 2004 izide še dolgo pričakovan set With the Lights Out, na katerem se znajdejo demoti še iz časa, ko je bil bend še neznan. Na njem je tudi akustična verzija pesmi "Do Re Mi". Zanimvo, v nekem intervjuju je Courtney Love dejala, da je v tej pesmi, posneti v Cobainovi spalnici, bobne igral kar Cobain sam, kitaro pa Pat Smear. ZANIMIVOSTI Velik vpliv na Nirvanino glasbo so imeli tudi Beatli. Cobain je nekoč priznal, da je pesem "About a girl" napisal po štiriurnem poslušanju albuma With the Beatles. Nirvanin zadnji koncert je bil 1. marca v Münchnu. Njihov najuspešnejši nastop je bil leta 1993 v Sao Paolu v Braziliji. Prodali so kar 110.000 vstopnic Nirvana je nastopila tudi v Ljubljani, in sicer 27. februarja 1994. To je bil njihov predzadnji koncert. KURT COBAIN MLADOST • Cobain se je rodil 20. 2. 1967 mami Wendy in očetu Donaldu. Iz Seattla so se kmalu preselili v Aberdeen. Cobain je imel tudi sestro po imenu Kim in njuno otroštvo je bilo srečno vse do Kurtovega osmega leta, ko sta se njegova starša ločila. • Od takrat naprej je postajal vse bolj zagrenjen. Nekaj časa je živel pri mami, nato pri očetu in še pri nekaterih sorodnikih, na koncu pa je ostal pri mami, ki se je znova poročila. • V šoli se ni preveč ujel z vrstniki, bil je umetniško nadarjen in med njegove najljubše predmete sta sodili umetnost in glasba. • Kot otrok je poslušal le skupini The Beatles in The Monkees, kasneje mu je postal všeč trši rock, torej skupine kot Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Kiss in punk rockerji Sex Pistols in The Clash. • Ko je bil star 14 let, je dobil svojo prvo kitaro. Prvi pesmi, ki se ju je naučil igrati, sta bili "My best friend" in "Communication Breakdown," ki sta ju v originalu izvajali skupini The Clash in Led Zeppelin. • Pri petnajstih je začel poslušati lokalno skupino The Melvins in hodil je na vse njihove nastope • Ko je imel 17 let, je na enem od njihovih nastopov spoznal Krist Novoselica, s katerim sta kasneje ustvarila skupino Nirvana. Pri osemnajstih je pustil srednjo šolo in mama ga je vrgla iz hiše. Od takrat naprej je večkrat prespal pri prijateljih, včasih pa tudi pod mostovi, kar je kasneje omenjal v svojih besedilih. • Krist in Kurt sta imela sanje o rock skupini in kmalu sta našla basista, Krist je igral kitaro in Kurt bobne. Kasneje se je basist poškodoval in ni mogel nadaljevati z igranjem, zato sta Kurt in Krist pričela igrati z nekaterimi člani iz skupine The Melvins. Kurt je skupino nekajkrat preimenoval in na koncu je nastala Nirvana. DRUŽINA • Cobain se je 24. februarja 1992 poročil s Courtney Love, ki jo je spoznal leta 1989, par pa sta postala 1991. • Courtney Love je bila že pred poroko noseča in je 18. avgusta 1992 rodila hčerko, ki sta jo poimenovala Frances Bean. • Ime Frances je dobila po Frances McKee iz skupine The Vaselines,drugo ime, Bean, pa je izbral Cobain, ker se mu je zdela na ultrazvoku podobna fižolu. • Zaradi odvisnosti od drog obeh staršev so Frances Bean za nekaj tednov dali v rejo Loveini sestri. SMRT • Cobainovo truplo so našli 8. aprila 1994. Že 3 dni je veljal za pogrešanega, saj je njegova žena, Courtney Love, v imenu Cobainove mame oddala prijavo za pogrešano osebo. • Čeprav je vedno veliko ljudi mnenja, da je bil Kurt Cobain umorjen, je že leta 1994 obdukcija pokazala, da je smrt povzročil strel v glavo, ki naj bi si ga Cobain zadal sam. • Obdukcija tudi ocenjuje, da je Cobain umrl že 5. aprila. V njegovi krvi je bila najdena večja količina heroina, zaradi katere bi Cobain verjetno umrl tudi, če se ne bi bil ustrelil. • Obstajajo domneve, da je bil Cobain umorjen, a do danes to še ni dokazano. Poslovilno pismo, velikost puške, s katero naj bi se ustrelil, ter ostali dokazi, tudi kreditne kartice, ki naj bi jih nekdo uporabljal po njegovi smrti, so razlogi za pomisleke, da Cobain ni storil samomora HVALA ZA POZORNOST.

  • A Denial the Death of Kurt Cobain the Seattle Police Department
    A Denial The Death of Kurt Cobain The Seattle Police Department Substandard Investigation & The Repercussions to Justice by Bree Donovan A Capstone Submitted to The Graduate School-Camden Rutgers, The State University, New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Liberal Studies Under the direction of Dr. Joseph C. Schiavo and approved by _________________________________ Capstone Director _________________________________ Program Director Camden, New Jersey, December 2014 i Abstract Kurt Cobain (1967-1994) musician, artist songwriter, and founder of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band, Nirvana, was dubbed, “the voice of a generation”; a moniker he wore like his faded cardigan sweater, but with more than some distain. Cobain‟s journey to the top of the Billboard charts was much more Dickensian than many of the generations of fans may realize. During his all too short life, Cobain struggled with physical illness, poverty, undiagnosed depression, a broken family, and the crippling isolation and loneliness brought on by drug addiction. Cobain may have shunned the idea of fame and fortune but like many struggling young musicians (who would become his peers) coming up in the blue collar, working class suburbs of Aberdeen and Tacoma Washington State, being on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine wasn‟t a nightmare image. Cobain, with his unkempt blond hair, polarizing blue eyes, and fragile appearance is a modern-punk-rock Jesus; a model example of the modern-day hero. The musician- a reluctant hero at best, but one who took a dark, frightening journey into another realm, to emerge stronger, clearer headed and changing the trajectory of his life.

Aug 04, Farahdiba Khan rated it it was amazing. I have never watched Montage of Heck. It doesn't seems to be available in my country I live in India btw I am happy to read the interviews from Kurt Cobain's family his dad, mom, step-mom and sister , Krist, Tracy and even Courtney. I think these people too are confused about his death. They seem to try to interpret him from their own perceptions. Anyway, I'll be reading more books later. Need to read Tom Grant's book too. I've absolutely adored Kurt Cobain and his life since the literal moment I was born thanks Dad so I have no idea why it took me so long to get around to this. There are so many aspects of Kurt's life which so many people don't know about and having this compilation of his journals and art "All artists are, in a sense, writing their own biographies with their work. There are so many aspects of Kurt's life which so many people don't know about and having this compilation of his journals and art pieces just really summed him up as a person. May 05, Liliana rated it it was amazing. So I've watched the movie and I've read the book.

  • Smells Like Teen Spirit Appears in Rock & Pop 2018
    ACCESS ALL AREAS... SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT APPEARS IN ROCK & POP 2018 Released: 1991 Album: Nevermind Label: DGC Records ABOUT THE SONG Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain was attempting to write the ‘ultimate pop song’ when he came up with the guitar riff that would become ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. He WITH THE LIGHTS OUT, wanted to write a song in the style of The Pixies, telling Rolling Stone in 1994: ‘I was basically trying to rip off The Pixies. I have to admit it.’ The title came IT’S LESS DANGEROUS after Kathleen Hanna, lead singer of Bikini Kill, spray- painted ‘Kurt smells like Teen Spirit’ on his bedroom “ wall. Teen Spirit was actually a brand of deodorant. HERE WE ARE NOW, The first single from Nirvana’s second album Nevermind, ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ was a surprise hit. The label had anticipated that ‘Come As You Are’, the follow-up single, would be the song to cross over to a mainstream audience. ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ ENTERTAIN US was first played on college radio before rock stations and MTV picked it up. It is widely praised as one of I FEEL STUPID AND CONTAGIOUS the greatest songs in the history of rock music. RECORDING AND PRODUCTION Cobain began writing ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ a few weeks before Nirvana were due in the studio to record Nevermind. After presenting the main riff and melody of the chorus to the rest of the band, they jammed around the riff for an hour and a half. Bassist Krist Novoselic slowed the verse down and drummer Dave Grohl created a drum beat and as a result, ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ is the only song on Nevermind to give songwriting credits to all three band members.
