One of Kurt Cobain's Final Interviews - Incl.
Nirvana was an American rock band formed by singer/guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987, with drummer Dave Grohl joining the band in 1990. Though their brief run ended following the death of Kurt Cobain in 1994, Nirvana has come to be regarded as one of the most influential and important rock bands of the modern era.
For now, Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain and his new wife, Courtney Love, live in an apartment in Los Angeles’s modest Fairfax district. The living room holds little besides a Fender Twin Reverb amplifier, a stringless guitar, a makeshift Buddhist shrine and, on the mantel, the couple’s collection of naked plastic dolls. Scores of CDs and tapes are strewn around the stereo – obscurities such as Calamity Jane, Cosmic Psychos and Billy Childish, as well as Cheap Trick and the Beatles. Soon after the September release of Nevermind, MTV pumped Teen Spirit night and day as the album vaulted up the charts until it hit Number One. Although the band’s label, DGC, doubted the album would sell over more than 250,000 copies, it sold 3 million in just four months and continues to sell nearly 100,000 copies a week. For Nirvana, putting out their first major-label record was like getting into a new car.
And unlike other Nirvana songs, Cobain was actually pleased with the performance himself. When asked to perform an encore at Unplugged, he refused because he didn't feel he could top this song. This song is perfect. This was the epitome of Kurt, his voice, the way the show ended, even he knew it was perfection when MTV wanted to do another take. An amazing opening song for an amazing album. Its basically the anti-Smells Like Teen Spirit, with its loud and exciting verses and its calmer choruses.
Just like many other music fans, Kurt Cobain liked to make lists. Here is 50 albums that he felt influenced Nirvana. We will profile 8 of these albums in detail. Their debut album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols was a huge influence on Nirvana and numerous other punk and alternative rock bands.

Kurt Cobain: Well, actually it was Jonathan that was working on us for a while. Kurt Cobain: We wrote three new songs the week that we recorded the album. And I wrote lyrics to two of the songs ten minutes before I recorded singing. Chad Channing: Sitting in a car. Kurt Cobain: So we didn’t work on the album for very long at all. It was two days, I think. Chris Novoselic: Two days and six hundred dollars!
