and Other Conversations

  • MELVILLE HOUSE



Kurt Cobain burst into American consciousness with a vengeance with the release of Nevermind, an instant classic that defined a sound and a generation. Three years later, he was dead of suicide, leaving a meteoric career and a cultural influence that would never wane.

Kurt Cobain burst into American consciousness with a vengeance with the release of Nevermind, an instant classic that defined a sound and a generation. Three years later, he was dead of suicide, leaving a meteoric career and a cultural influence that would never wane.

As the lead singer and guitarist of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain changed American music as few musicians ever have. His instantly identifiable raspy croon, his slash-and-burn guitar playing, and his corrosive and poetic lyrics made him a hero to a generation of lost souls. In interviews Cobain was funny, thoughtful, sarcastic, impassioned, and even kind. This collection of interviews provides a look at a man who was too often misunderstood.

Praise for Kurt Cobain: The Last Interview

“The Michael Jordan of our generation.”—BILLY CORGAN, SMASHING PUMPKINS

“With Kurt you felt you were connecting to the real person, not to a perception of who he was ... You felt that between you and him there was nothing—it was heart-to-heart.”—LARS ULRICH, METALLICA

“When you see the way he was, there’s no way he could ever get through the other end of it. Because there was no control to the burn. That’s why it was so intense. He was not holding back at all.”—NEIL YOUNG

“Now he’s gone and joined that stupid club.”—WENDY O’CONNOR (COBAIN’S MOTHER)
