Kurt Cobain heroin fix kit


This was Kurt Cobain heroin kit used to feed his $400 a day habit.

Seriously, I wonder how much Kurt Cobain heroin kit (paraphernalia) would worth if his cardigan price tag is $140K? His heroin shooting kit would certainly be a success at a collector auction.

Kurt Cobain decided to leave Nirvana in 1992







Dear David Geffen,

Hi my name is Kurt Cobain, Im the lead singer, guitar, and songwriter for the band NIRVANA. Supposedly, I've made your company a lot of money. Oh well, it never was a goal of mine to be part of the mainstream corporate world, but once I entered it I realized that there are other employees especially at DGC who are as honest and sincere about music and have basically the same values as I have. I've never met you I guess because Ive never wanted to. Kind of a big boss phobia of mine but something so severely defremating [sic] towards my family has come up in an article in Vanity Fair that has forced me to decide on breaking up my band. The article suggests that Courtney and I have been taking heroin continuously throughout her pregnancy which is not true. Courtney found out she was pregnant within the first month of our drug binge. She stopped using and has since been visiting Danny Goldberg's pediatrician on a regular basis. The doctors prognosis is that our child is in excellent health and theres no need to worry about anything. But this article has outright accused my wife of all kinds of hideously vile things to the point where Ive never seen such a crucifixion in a magazine. The woman's entire objective was to harm Courtney and now after you read the article (I hope) something may be done about it. You may not even be aware that Courtney's band Hole is also on DGC. They are a very important band to be heard especially my wife's openness and embrace of women's rights and homosexuality. This person who wrote the article Lynn Hirschberg must have her karma broken. Some way. Its either her or me. I love my wife and soon to be new daughter too much to let everyones low opinions of us ruin our lives together. I am now in rehab going on 18 days and Im really looking forward to having a family at this point fuck NIRVANA. Ive never admitted to using drugs in articles because I don't want my fans to do the same. We are capable of displaying a healthy attitude before our audience and the next record is easily as good as the last one, but Im so extremely pissed off about this piece of trash journalism that I'll lay anything on the line for the love of my wife and daughter.

Sincerely Kurt Cobain."


Obviously Kurt Cobain never left Nirvana since he died in April 5, 1994 and the above letter was written in 1992.

Was it another self-destructive / self-sabotage attempt or just a way to get the head of Lynn Hirschberg?

L7 (aka Camel Lips) - Gas Chamber

Lyrics
Blindfold me and hang me high
Lethal injection, watch me fry

I won't flinch and I won't break a sweat
When I taste the cyanide gas, gas, gas

Only way you're gonna shut me up
Only way you're gonna shut me up

That's like playing with no mask
Wish your mouth weren't cotton dry
Gas Chamber

Watch me riddle him through the glass
Smiling as I sip the last gas
Justifiable homicide
Almond blossom-scented cyanide
Gas chamber

Only way you think you'll keep me down
Only way you think you'll keep me down
Gas chamber

Only way you think you'll keep me down
Only way you think you'll keep me down
Gas chamber, gas chamber

Your god says thou shalt not kill
But here you are droppin' the pill
Legal system- what a sham
Flying colors on the final exam
Gas chamber

Only way you're gonna shut me up
Only way you're gonna shut me up
Gas Chamber

Only way you're gonna shut me up
Only way you're gonna shut me up
Gas chamber, gas chamber

Kurt Cobain & Manowar


In the last interview he granted before committing suicide, Kurt Cobain said that “Nirvana will never be even a tenth as good as Manowar, and I have a very hard time living with that fact.”



The whole thing, photo and article, is a silly joke about Manowar from Axl Rosenberg of MetalSucks.net. But seeing Kurt Cobain "wearing" a very cool Manowar shirt under his distressed wool sweater was too much to not put it here. And imagining him as a die-hard fan was even better.

The Last Photo of Kurt Cobain Alive


The Last Photo of Kurt Cobain Alive – March 24, 1994
The Last Photo of Kurt Cobain Alive – March 24, 1994


The man in the photo with Kurt Cobain is Thor Lindsay, who was the executive producer of the Kurt Cobain/William S. Burroughs 1993 single “The Priest They Called Him”.


R.I.P.
Kurt Cobain
(February 20, 1967 - April 5, 1994)



FYI William S. Burroughs was the oldest junkie alive when he was... alive!?

Here is the single:





I know this sucks!



The world's oldest junkie William S. Burroughs also starred in the much better Ministry - Just One Fix. 




An excellent song!

Alice In Chains - Would



Alice In Chains  Would?
Layne Staley R.I.P. 1967-2002

Alice In Chains - Would?
Music video by Alice In Chains performing Would?.

ALICE IN CHAINS LYRICS

"Would?"

Know me broken by my master
Teach thee on child of love hereafter

Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way

Drifting body it's sole desertion
Flying not yet quite the notion

Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way

Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way

[x2:]
Am I wrong?
Have I run too far to get home?
Have I gone?

And left you here alone?
If I would, could you?

Alice In Chains - Man In The Box



Alice In Chains - Man In The Box [Video Uncensored Lyrics Music]


Man In The Box Lyrics - Alice In Chains



Alice In Chains - Man In The Box (Only Vocal Tracks)
Man In The Box
Layne Staley amazing vocal solo tracks



"Man In The Box"

I'm the man in the box
Buried in my shit
Won't you come and save me, save me

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut

I'm the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in shit
Won't you come and save me, save me

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut

In a recorded interview with MuchMusic USA, Layne Staley stated that the lyrics are about censorship in the mass media, and "I was really stoned when I wrote it." Ironically, the lyrics appear censored in the official music video and the video game Rock Band 2, where the two instances of the word "shit" are replaced by similar-sounding words ("pit" in the first verse, and "spit" in the second).
