Aerosmith on Kurt Cobain: "He was an incredible composer and performer"

Imagen
- Kurt Cobain  was always a self-proclaimed fan of many of the biggest bands of all time like Aerosmith.  In an interview for Classic Rock, guitarist Joe Perry recalled the Nirvana leader and how he went to visit them in the dressing room. - “He came to the dressing room with  Courtney Love  and sat down with us.  He was a normal guy.  When she went to the bathroom,  Courtney  told us,   'She loves you guys.  He doesn't like anyone, but he likes you.   She had nothing but respect for the guy.  He was an incredible songwriter and performer, and to hear that was great  ," recalls  Perry  . Another approach they had was when Cobain  's heroin problems  became public and  Steven Tyler  decided to call manager Janet Billing, who worked with Nirvana: "Just when it started to come out that  Kurt  was taking drugs, I remember  Steven Tyler  called and wanted to help .  I told  Kurt  ,  'Shit, Steven Tyler called my office and he wants to help you.  Can I give y

This is how Aerosmith remembers Kurt Cobain (Nirvana): "He was a very quiet guy"

- Joe Perry recalls what it was like to meet Kurt Cobain, who went to see his band as a fan. Although when  Kurt Cobain  succeeded with  Nirvana  he revolutionized the entire rock scene, that doesn't mean he wasn't a fan of some of his predecessors like  Aerosmith  for example . Now, in a new interview with Classic Rock (via  Louder Sound  ), Boston guitarist  Joe Perry  has recalled how Cobain went to visit his band backstage at a concert:  "It was pretty quiet. I just wanted to hang out a while,"  Perry said.  "He came to the dressing room with Courtney Love and sat with us. He was a normal guy. When he went to the bathroom, Courtney - who was very verbal - told us: 'He  loves you guys. He doesn't like anybody, but he loves you. '  I had nothing but respect for the guy. He was an amazing songwriter and performer, and hearing that was great." - Perry affirms that this idea that the new generations of musicians should hate their predecesso

"I could pay a few thousand dollars to get you out of the way" Kurt Cobain's threat to two female writers

Imagen
-I n 1992 two British writers launched to write a book about Nirvana, causing the anger of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. British writers  Victoria Clarke  and  Britt Collins  launched, in the early 1990s, to write a book about the band  Nirvana  , which was at its peak.  However,  “Flower Sniffin', Kitty Pettin', Baby Kissin' Corporate Rock Whores”  never reached the public, and its creation had a complicated history behind it, in which  Kurt Cobain  and  Courtney Love  prevented the work of the writers through threats. The British had the approval of the band at first.  Both got the approval of the project from the Nirvana team, which not only allowed them to do it, but gave them a lot of help in the form of their closest contacts, even allowing Victoria Clarke to go on tour with the group during the European tour of 1992. At first, everything went as expected, but this trend did not take long to change.  Clarke was kicked off the tour after requesting an

Kurt Cobain’s Daughter Frances Bean Cobain Signs Huge Record Deal.

Imagen
- The Business Post is reporting that Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love’s daughter Frances Bean Cobain has signed a two-album deal with Columbia Records, and her first album is due soon.  Cobain has been teasing new song ideas all years, most famously a song that appeared to be about her late father that she posted a clip of on April 5th, the 2%th anniversary of his death by suicide in 1994. Frances Bean Cobain discussed going to Ireland to attend the Growing Up Kurt Cobain premiere event in a new Independent interview. “I think that it was important for all of us three to come to Ireland.  - This is where our roots are. It’s a very healing place,” she says. “I’ve been here before and it was super healing for me as a child and I wanted to come and be a part of this experience with them. I don’t know if we could recreate the energy of this specific trip again. The reason that this is so healing is because it’s in Ireland. That’s a huge component of it I

VIDEO: The heartbreaking moment when MTV announced the death of Kurt Cobain.

- I n 1994, there was barely an internet and no  Daily Show , so when breaking news hit, for many of us, our source was  Kurt Loder  on MTV News. And on April 8, 1994, the day that  Nirvana  frontman  Kurt Cobain ’s body was found, I was glued to MTV watching hour after hour of Loder slowly revealing an IV drip of details about the musician’s death from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. (Cobain passed away on April 5, but it wasn’t until days later that the body found in his home was discovered and identified.) - All afternoon on that dreadful Friday, as more questions were answered about the how and where of it all, Loder dutifully reported every piece of information that came in in a completely un-sensational, straightforward way. It’s almost shocking to see his level of stoicism, but, look, it was a different time.  There was no TMZ and things weren’t reported with exclamation points and emojis. This was the death of the biggest rock star of our ge

Why Did Kurt Cobain Write FUHGAWZ On His Shoe?

Imagen
- Kurt apparently wrote “FUHGAWZ” on his left shoe to make fun of Eddie Vedder.  Eddie once wrote “Fuhgawz” on his shirt just before a photo shoot, intentionally misspelling Fugazi.   Kurt apparently wrote it on his shoe to basically make fun of Vedder. - Both of Kurt’s shoes had it written on them in two different spellings of the name: The story behind this phrase is that Vedder intentionally wrote it on his shirt just before a photoshoot, misspelling the word Fugazi (punk band from Washington, DC.). Since Kurt did not like Pearl Jam, he scratched his sneakers with hints in graffiti mode. -

Why It's Too Simple to Blame Kurt Cobain's Suicide on Celebrity Alone.

Imagen
- Many have blamed Kurt Cobain’s suicide — on this day, April 8, in 1994 — on the harsh glare of the spotlight: an especially brutal force for someone as sensitive as the Nirvana frontman. LIFE Books described a tribute commemorating the th anniversary of Cobain’s death, last year, as “the story of a young man who buckled beneath the weight of enormous, unwanted fame.”  In the book’s introduction, editor Bob Sullivan notes that “at the apex of Nirvana’s success, [Cobain] said he wished he could quit that gig and be a sideman in his wife’s band, Hole.” But casting fame as the villain in Cobain’s undoing would be an oversimplification. Whether or not he recognized all that it entailed, celebrity was his goal from the time he founded Nirvana. “He definitely wanted to be famous,” the band’s former manager, Danny Goldberg, told USA Today in 2004. “He worked assiduously with tremendous clarity to achieve that. He designed the band’s T-shirts, commented on detailed aspects

The curious and unknown Story of Kurt Cobain and Joao Gordo In Brazil.

- The presenter met the leader of Nirvana and accompanied him during the Hollywood Rock festival in 1993 In 1993, the Hollywood Rock festival was in charge of landing three of the greatest bands in rock history in Brazil in three days of the event; In addition to having Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Alice in Chains, the organization knew how to take advantage of the rise of the grunge movement in the world and bring, in an unprecedented way, the greatest exponent of that period.  Nirvana landed in the country to play on the stage of the Morumbi Stadium, in São Paulo, on the night of January 16 of that year. With sold-out tickets, numbering more than 110,000 people, it would be the largest presentation in terms of audience and structure for the band, with a cigarette brand sponsoring the event and stamping its name. Who did not know of this last fact, however, was the main singer of the band, Kurt Cobain, who arrived to the lands of Tupiniquim quietly with his wife Court
