Report: Kurt Cobain Wanted to Join Hole

Recommended Posts

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."

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.

well Hole was already using hooks and lyrics he'd written so he'd have felt right at home.

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.

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.

Noveselic has been talking about getting into politics. He "officially" quit music this past year after his supergroup, Eyes Adrift, failed terribly.

The bassist is a lawyer i believe, because he was in the news as helping out the ANTI RIAA guys and when Courtney wanted to release unheard nirvana shit.. he was all against that.

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.
