MrRant 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2004 LONDON - Grunge rock icon Kurt Cobain dreamed about leaving his band Nirvana to join wife Courtney Love (news)'s group Hole, a music magazine quoted him as saying in an interview months before his 1994 death. Uncut magazine released excerpts Friday from its upcoming story, which it said was based on an interview conducted by a French television journalist in August 1993, eight months before Cobain's suicide. Only fragments of it were aired, said Uncut, which is to publish its story Tuesday. Cobain, asked whether he wanted to collaborate with Love, reportedly answered "It's a nice thought. I'd like to, but to tell you the truth, I would rather just quit my band and join Hole, you know, only because when I have played music with them, there's a level of connection that's a little bit higher than with anyone else I ever played with. It's amazing." "It might be nice to start playing acoustic guitar and be thought of as a singer and a songwriter, rather than a grunge rocker because then I might be able to take advantage of that when I'm older," Uncut quoted Cobain as saying. "I could sit down on a chair and play acoustic guitar like Johnny Cash (news) or something, and it won't be a big joke." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2004 Eh. Cobain just wanted to play in any other band than Nirvana. Pretty much. Cobain was talking out of his ass in that interview. He was well aware of how much his wife and his bandmates did not get along, and that was his way of keeping Grohl and Novoselic in check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted March 14, 2004 well Hole was already using hooks and lyrics he'd written so he'd have felt right at home. OMG! kurtz plned on getTin old! that Meanz he dint kill hiself! go 2 hell (or hole, sme thng, lol) Curtne! That has to be the most pathetic attempt at flame baiting I've ever encountered. Try not to give the mods any ammunition there 'Sault, there's enough people who want you gone as it is. I'd like to point out that never ONCE have I run my mouth off about the different conspiracy theories. I've tried to engage in one or two discussions about them with Inc and others but that was rare, and I gave up when other Nirvana fans acted like idiots. The Cobain murder theory interests me but I find it nowhere near as interesting as how the WWE have held down Kurt Angle since DAY ONE out of jealousy. After all, Vince WANTS to lose money.

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted March 14, 2004 Novoselic to the best of my recollection briefly did some work with the surviving members of Sublime before becoming involved with grass roots politics and writing. But I don't remember for sure, it's been a long time since I've heard anything about him. Which is a shame as he was a competent Bassist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Narcoleptic Jumper 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 It's interesting to think about what would happen if Kurt hadn't shot himself. Nirvana would have probably broken up, Kurt would probably divorce his wife, go into seclusion before recording a solo acoustic folk rock album years later and still be considered a fucking legend. That would have ruled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Pfft, as if Cobain would mean shit had he not of died during the height of his popularity. *THAT* argument is officially played and finished in this forum, so I won't start the drivel again. UYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
