This Is A Special Upload To Remember Kurt, On The 15th Anniversary Of His "Suicide" He May Be Gone But Definatly Not Forgotten. R.I.P. Mate....
Kurt Cobain: February 20, 1967 -April 7, 1994
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Nirvana is widely credited with bringing the sound and spirit of late-'70s punk
rock to a mainstream pop audience. In 1991 the Seattle-based trio took the
angry, nihilistic message of the Sex Pistols' landmark 1977 single "Anarchy in
the U.K." to #6 (#1 Modern Rock) with its own sarcastic blueprint for
frustration, "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Nirvana's reign was tragically cut short
slightly more than two years later, on April 5, 1994, when leader Kurt Cobain
took his own life following at least one earlier suicide attempt and severe
bouts with drug addiction, a chronic stomach ailment, and depression. He was
27.
Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic grew up in Aberdeen, Washington, a small
logging town 100 miles southwest of Seattle. When Cobain was eight, his
secretary mother and auto-mechanic father divorced, leaving him constantly
moving from one set of relatives to another. As a child he loved the Beatles,
but by nine discovered the heavier music of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and
Kiss. Cobain met the 6-foot-7-inch Novoselic, son of a local hdresser,
through mutual friend Buzz Osborne of the Aberdeen band the Melvins.
Osborne introduced them to the hardcore punk of Black Flag and Flipper.
In 1987 Cobain and Novoselic, both of whom had long felt alienated from
their working-class peers, formed Nirvana and started playing parties at the
liberal Evergreen State College in nearby Olympia. The following year, Seattle
independent label Sub Pop signed the band and released its first single, “Love
Buzz” b/w “Big Cheese.” Nirvana’s debut album, Bleach, recorded for
$606.17, came out in 1989 to kudos from the underground-rock community; it
sold an initial 35,000 copies, considerable for an indie-label release. The next
year, Nirvana put out another Sub Pop single, “Sr” b/w “Dive,” and
recorded six new songs (including “Smells Like Teen Spirit”) with producer
Butch Vig. Although opposed to major labels in principle, the band claimed it
shopped the songs to bigger companies in hopes of getting the message of
punk to a larger audience.
A major-label bidding war ensued, with DGC ultimately offering the group a
$287,000 advance (rumors had it at $750,000). With Nevermind, Nirvana
succeeded at getting punk to the populace on a grand scale: After an initial
shipment of 50,000 copies, the record kept selling, eventually bumping new
albums by Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks, U2, and MC Hammer from the top
of the chart. Nevermind ultimately sold 10 million copies in the U.S. alone; it
also produced another hit, “Come as You Are” (#32, 1992). In the wake of
that success, Cobain explored a few pet projects, including performing
frayed guitar feedback on William Burroughs’ The “Priest” They Called Him
spoken-word CD and coproducing the Melvins’ Houdini album.
By early 1992, Nirvana’s success was biting back. As “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
continued climbing up the charts, Cobain began bemoaning the group’s
meteoric rise, worrying that fans were missing the point of Nirvana’s
antiestablishment message. Simultaneously, his new relationship with
Courtney Love, singer of the band Hole [see entry], had become a hot topic
in the gossip columns. The couple married on February 24. When Love
became pregnant with Cobain’s child and was quoted in a Vanity F article
as admitting she had used heroin during the pregnancy, news of the couple’s
alleged drug addiction hit the media fan. Scrutiny of the Cobain-Love aff
reached a level of intensity matched in the pop world only by John Lennon
and Yoko Ono, or the fated punk couple Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen. On
August 18, 1992, the Cobains dered a healthy seven-pound baby,
Frances Bean (named after the tormented, lobotomized ’40s film actress
Frances Farmer). After a battle with children’s services in L.A., which
challenged the Cobain’s parental fitness based on Love’s comments in Vanity
F, the couple was granted custody of the child. Amid the chaos, Nirvana
released Incesticide, a collection of early singles and outtakes. Beginning in
spring of 1993, a series of events occurred that foreshadowed the demise of
Cobain and Nirvana. On May 2, the singer overdosed on heroin at his Seattle
home. The following month, he was charged with domestic assault after Love
summoned the police during an argument over Cobain’s gun collection. On
July 23, Cobain overdosed again, this time in the bathroom of a New York
hotel room before a Nirvana show at the Roseland Ballroom.
On September 21, Nirvana released In Utero, which debuted at #1 and
ultimately produced the Modern Rock radio hits “Heart-Shaped Box” and “All
Apologies.” On January 7, 1994, Nirvana performed what would be their last
American concert, at the Seattle Center Arena. On February 6, the band
departed for a European tour, but after a series of shows in France,
Portugal, the former Yugoslavia, Germany, and Italy, decided to take a
break, during which Cobain remained in Rome. At 6:30 a.m. on March 4, Love
found Cobain unconscious in the couple’s room at Rome’s Excelsior Hotel, the
result of an overdose of the tranquilizer Rohypnol. At first deemed an
accident, later reports uncovered a suicide note. Cobain remained in a coma
for 20 hours. When the Cobains returned to Seattle, things took a turn for
the worse. On March 18, police arrived at the Cobain home again after the
singer locked himself in a room with a .38-caliber revolver, threatening to kill
himself.
On March 30, Cobain checked in to the Exodus Recovery Center in L.A., but
fled on April 1, after telling staff members he was going outside for a smoke.
On April 8, he was found dead in a room above the garage of the couple’s
Seattle home, the result of a self-inflicted .20-gauge shotgun wound to his
head. For weeks afterward, fans, the news media, MTV, and radio mourned
his death with specials about Nirvana and the generations they inspired. In
November 1994, MTV Unplugged in New York, an album of the acoustic show
taped in 1993, was released.
Novoselic and Grohl made a post-Nirvana performance appearance together
in 1994 in Olympia, Washington, where they joined the Stinky Puffs onstage
for a set that included the Puffs’ “I Love You Anyway,” a song for Cobain.
Grohl soon found success leading his new band the Foo Fighters [see entry],
and with Novoselic gathered 16 Nirvana performances recorded between
1989 and 1994 for From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah. While Novoselic
turned to alcohol in the months after Cobain’s suicide, he eventually stopped
drinking and formed a political action committee (JAMPAC, for Joint Artists
and Music Promotions Political Action Committee) to battle censorship. In
1994 he picked up a guitar and joined Venezuela-born singer-bassist Yva Las
Vegas for the short-d band Sweet 75, which released a self-titled album
on Geffen in 1997. Novoselic occasionally played with a band called Sunshine
Cake, but by decade’s end, most of his energy was spent on political
activism, performing with Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil and Dead Kennedys
founder Jello Biafra as the No WTO Combo during protests against the World
Trade Organization’s 1999 gathering in Seattle; a album, From the
Battle in Seattle, was released by Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles label in 2000.
Nirvana’s success changed the course of rock music in the ’90s, cementing
the rise of alternative rock and legitimizing the differences in perspective
between the earlier baby-boom generation of rock fans and the subsequent
so-called Generation X. The band’s impact was also felt by some of Cobain’s
own musical heroes, heard in such Cobain tributes as Neil Young’s Sleeps With
Angels album and Patti Smith’s song “About a Boy.” Cobain’s expressions of
support for women and homosexuals challenged the earlier rock & roll status
quo. With his sensitive lyrics and outward frustrations over the disordered
state of the world, Cobain brought a new edge and urgency to pop music.
After years of legal-wrangling, With The Lights Out was released, exposing a
box-set collection of the band's rawest demos and studio outakes in
November 2004.
