I know this might seem a little stupid and i feel stupid asking but i heard a song. not sure if its what you call rap but it was about growing up on the streets and had a mention of kurt cobain. does anyone know what i am talking about? me and my friends were all trying to think of it. and we are hardcoremetalheads and rockers. haha.
I am looking for the extreme close up photo of Kurt where he is looking straight at the camera with both eyes. NOT the Rolling Stone photo. This pic is all over the web but I cannot seem to find a print/poster.

if it wasn't for the slight accent he could pass as kurt o.O
listen to the rest of the songs on his (their?) page.
what do you think? I never heard of this before till now while looking through last.fm haha
who is this guy?
and btw I know there wont be another kurt I'm just saying they sound eerily alike.
I think Elliott Smith and Kurt Cobain are two. Please list some others and maybe why?
Also, John Denver. And as for age I think anyone under 60, esp those who O.D., died tragically ect... count.
I think John Lennon belongs on the list also.
Richie Valens and Stevie Ray Vaughn also should be on the list, thanks.
Buddy Holly also, and Elvis. Thanks
And also, why do hard on fans think that Courtney killed him? Was she that psycho? I'm a new fan, so....
When I say what do you think, I mean, how do you remember him, what are your thoughts on him, your opinions and views.
When I say what do you think,1993, I'm referring to how do you remember him, your thoughts on him, your opinions and views, however you wanna put it, physically, emotionally, spiritually, just express yourself!
1.Bob Dylan
2.Leonard Cohen
3.Jim Morrison
4.Kurt Cobain
5.Syd Barrett
6.John Lennon
7.Tupac Shakur (Changes + Keep Ya Head Up alone earn him a spot on this list)
8.Neil Young
9.Lou Reed
10.Cat Stevens
I'm missing loads I know, but if it was the top 100 they would all be included.
Yours?
btw, my "my ten favorite lyricists" differs greatly from this list. These are just people I appreciate to be the greatest.
I'm writing an essay on an influential American...Kurt Cobain is influentional to ME but what did he really do besides struggle and then basically give up?
Whereas Maya Angelou overcame her struggles and flourished as an author.
BUT I can personally relate to Kurt. I feel like the decision is obvious, and I feel like I can't even explain how he's influential.
I mean, he inspired me in so many ways but I feel like no one will get it or be able to relate and that they'll (my classmates) will be like "Wtf how can someone who basically gave up on life be influential?"
Basically, I just need examples of how he was influential, thanks.
Facebook has good quizzes which Kurt might have liked, but bebo gives you more customisation options which he could have used as a creative output. What do you think?
Just moved into a house and all the roommates said Kurt Cobain had lived there while he was alive, and I don't know if I should believe it. Anybody have any clues?
okay so i am writing a paper on a modern day tragic hero..and i have narrowed it down to what i think are my best options to write about.
Which one should i choose? and if you could give some specific examples as to why that person is my best bet that would be great!!!
Richard Burton
Kurt Cobain
Britney Spears
Oliver North
Michael Jackson
Mike Tyson
Michael Vick
Martha Stewart
Princess Diana
Manny Ramirez

THANKS! :D
At the moment I have three children, Dylan Lucas, who is ten next week, Rose Madelyn, eight and Hannah Sarah, four.
I'm in a band with my husband and three friends, Sarah, Lucas and Tyler. Dylan's middle name comes from Lucas and Hannah's middle name Sarah. Rose was going to be Rose Sarah, but we didn't think that fit. Also, Dylan gets him first name as Dylan is an annogram of my husbands name, Danyl.
We're having a boy and want ONE of his middle names to be Tyler, or I don't really think that would be fair on Tyler lol :). But me and Danyl are also HUGE fans of Kurt Cobain, and are doing a tribute to him by doing concerts dedicated to Nirvana etc...
So we want to name our child:
(drum roll......)
Jackson Kurt Tyler Williams
What do you think? Opinions and rating.
btw...we live in England.
I KNOW it was murder...

He was NOT a depressed man. It was the heroin. And his lyrics may have been depressing but, they make you think about life and the people around you...
...Fuck, thats what i think about when i think about my life...im not very insightful, this is just shit that comes to mind, but, yesterday i found an internal flaw in people i only just realized, theyre all selfish greedy assholes who dont care whatsoever about anyones emotions but theyreselves. Anyway, noone understands me because i mask my character and personality by making myself look like a "try to be funny smartarse" when actually im in a mental state so deep that im on the verge of committing suicide...a couple of days ago i was thinking to myself, why the fuck would Kurt Cobain commit suicide? he had everything, what an idiot but now i see we both share the same opinions, we both hate humans in general, im not some emo guy with nothing better than to share my emotions with the world, truth be told, im a 15 yr old kid who goes to school and plays sport and enjoys video games, its just now, i think wtfs the point in living with people, i feel noone understands the concept of life and that only i do, my deep love for music has driven me to feel this way and im in a hole so deep, if only ANY of you knew how the fuck i felt, you would all despise me and get me mental help, but i ask you, from what u have gathered, wats wrong with me? =[
I was thinking Kurt Cobain, but my name is kurt, i play guitar so people would probably think i'm copying him or want to be him.Who's someone that would have a biography about him/her I would prefer a musician.
Well basically I'm a HUGE fan of Kurt Cobain. I won't go into too much detail, except me and my band will probably go on Britians Got Talent the year after next and do a sort of tribute to Kurt Cobain playing Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Anyway, I have three children already, Dylan Lucas Williams, 10, Rose Madelyn, 8, Hannah Sarah, 5. It's going to be a little boy and these are the names we like:
Tyler
William
Edward
But the thing is, we want to include Kurt in there, as a middle name. Which of the three names go as a first name with it, or have you got any other better suggestions? Thanks.
Btw... I hate these pathetic trendy names like -ayden names and names like Landon. Any suggestions? Oh, and not Danyl or Alexander because even though I <3 those names my husband is called Danyl and my brother Alexander.
Thanks xx

BQ - List your fav Guitarists that you think actually deserve to be on the list
@ginga...No you are wrong its about Rolling stone's Greatest Guitarists of all -time ...not the popular .....if its about popular then where are these guys i mentioned ?are they not popular?
I agree with most of your opinion..the fact is we all know that this list is crap and 'Rolling Stone Sucks '
Hi kansas fan....
God, Kurt Cobain doesn't know what the heck beautiful means. Everybody knows that a monkey looks better than CL. It says here that here that she is the ugliest.
http://www.campussqueeze.com/static/the-25-ugliest-celebrities.html
God shes uglier than the Elephant man but Kurt Cobain is just retarded.
I once saw half of a documentary on Kurt Cobain on comcast on demand. The whole thing was his voice narrating (from interviews or something) and there were pictures or tapes of the places he was talking about. He mostly talked about personal life, not his music
Kurt Cobain was right handed and played a left handed guitar because it was cheaper than most right handed guitars.. and that was all he could afford when he was younger. I see a lot of great left handed guitarists. yes i do write with my right hand. i am right handed."but you use both ur hands while playing guitar anyways"
I think Courtney Love did, but that's just me.
I mean I UNDERSTAND the proof all points towards him offing himself, but it's unlegit.
So leave your opinion? :)
In this case, weird isn't an insult. It's a unique mysterious personality trait to have. Also, selective hooligans like Axl Rose don't classify as weird. Unhinged maybe, but not weird.
btw, "frontman" is a loose term, it just sounds better than "band member", but it can be anyone in a band.
10.Ringo Starr - This dude was a complete oddball. But his squeaky scouse accent makes him a likeable one.
9.Phil Lynott - A black irish rocker that dominated the 70s alone classifies him not only fu*king cool, but a rarity.
8.David Bowie - He had his bi-sexual fad, his "drag" fad, he told 7-year old little boys who thought Nirvana's "The Man Who Sold the World" was the original, to: "fu*k off, you little tosser". This man is a cool weirdo.
6.Courntey Love - This woman looks like she got dressed and put her makeup on in the dark, has trouble keeping her t-shirt on. Remember that one bloke that married her? Whoow, what was he thinking?
5.Ozzy Osbourne - I think the whole "Sharon and Ozzy" thing is a roleplay, she looks like the husband and he looks like the wife. Ah, well if it works for them. We all know the bizzarre myths about this legend, I won't go into that.
4.Elton John - A self described "big fat gay c*nt", his brain may not be working fully, but at least we all know his mirrors are.
3.Marilyn Manson - When this man isn't dressed like the living dead wearing more makeup than your mom and covering corny 70s novelty pop songs, he's no less scary off cameras. Rumored to drink rabbit blood and keep his own feces as a little suveneer, this man isn't all there.
2.Kurt Cobain - If marrying that thing at number six doesn't classify him as mentally insane, maybe sticking pictures of decaying penises on his refriderator, singing "Rape Me" against MTV's will in front of at least 2 rapists in the crowd should seal the deal.
1.Jim Morrison - If people are strange, he's a super-person. His mysterious, unnerving and unpredictable prescence on stage made teenage girls in the 60s go out look for convicted oddballs for a date, non of them could match the Lizard King's way of thinking, of course.
Everyone saying GG Allin, was he really weird? I just think he was crazy as sh*t. And yes, I missed number 7, I now feel overcome with guilt towards number 7, that year was good to me. Anyway, Frank Zappa would of been No.7.
In the new Foo Fighters record, they include two new songs "Wheels" and "Word Forward", on vh1 they interviewed Dave and he said he wrote "Word Forward" for his best friend, does he mean Kurt Cobain?

I see a lot of great left handed guitarists. yes i do write with my right hand. i am right handed."but you use both ur hands while playing guitar anyways"
Right I know it sounds hard to believe, but I have met people who have never ever heard of them, and I met an 18 year old kid who has never heard of Led Zepellin or Bob Dylan or AC/DC and a girl in my class (I'm 16) never heard of Radiohead, and another girl didn't know who John lennon was, I mean what is this? I think its ignorant and disgusting what about you?
I think it is ignorance and it is disgusting, they are important in history, and I think people should know about them, and then they claim they love music but listen to pure shite and haven't heard of real music.
One. Kurt Cobain accomplished more than you ever will Two. That wasn't the question you disrespectful undereducated moron who probably is a paedophile if you find a baby's penis weird or interesting. Freak.
could bring her back to me if kurt cobain didnt shoot himself?
asingle married divorced ATM LADIESS>.
ah wait....i need to pee
until i see you latifaaa =DD latifaaa!! latifaaa
Courtney Love(his widow that I will have sex with soon) didn't kill him because she tried to sue guitar hero for making kurt sing songs that is not even his,anyways...
Other reasons why he got killed
1)he blew his effing head off
2) he clearly stated in his poorly written work that he killed himself
3)he was a pedophile due to his sicko album called nevermind
4)he didn't want to be an icon like michael jackson
Why his is album nevermind a pedophile...It a FUCKlNG Naked baby in the cover
Amazing?
HE left his freaking daughter all akone in this damn world, how is that amazing?
Amazing?
HE left his freaking daughter all alone in this damn world, how is that amazing?
Axl Rose should have kicked Kurt cobains ass before he killed himself
I hear a lot of people saying that Courtney Love murdered Kurt cocaine but I don't think so. Courtney Love wanted to sue the guitar hero company for making Kurt Cobain sing songs he didn't make. But what if I have sex with her in front of kurt cobain's ghost like what Dave Chappelle did in the parody of ghost, Then, maybe he would rest in peace.
If your mad about this question, why don't you just go home, replay kurt cocaine's retarded music called SMELLS LIKE SHlT SPIRIT and jack off to the cover of his album called Nevermind. Come on, there is a drowning naked baby in a pool. How could he not be a phedophile?
http://206.47.170.43/music_v1_1/images/nirvana-300.jpg
PHEDOPHILE!!!!
I read it there now on Wikipedia and after reading that she gave him Narcan to help him recover from his unconscious state after overdosing on heroin.. Does anyone know the truth?
She could have written the suicide note herself, to cover up. Ever thought of it? We're onto her -__-
Hey =]
Well i dunno if you've heard but apparently bcs tonight is halloween, people on twiiter are doing a seance where they hope to contace MJ & kurt cobain etc, and apparently they did the seance and they contacted MJ and said that MJ had said that he was in peace, and that he was sorry he couldnt make the 'This is It' tour and that he's enjoying his visit throughout London City & also when they had contacted him he was in the middle of performing 'heal the world'
Now, i'm an MJ fan , but i dunno whether to believe this ?? simply cause these things arent always right but then again it could be, should we believe it?? i hope MJ is in peace, which was something he couldnt get in this world, but i dno whether we as fans should believe this?? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/twitter/6469186/Tweance-the-Twitter-seance-contacts-Michael-Jackson-and-Kurt-Cobain.html
personally i dont want to believe it cos it might the some media hype , what's all your views on this?
x
kerry : exactly my point ! its so disrespectful in my opinion , even in death they still hve to hound him :|
the world's messed up these days . x
I think the question is pretty clear itself... i hope, you all have seen their videos..
Just wanna know the general opinion.. I personally think Cobain was the most good lookin & Axl was most stylish & Hetfield comes smwhr between the two..
Well,what do you think??
