I recently came across this photo of Nirvana with Frances Bean Cobain sitting on Kurt’s lap in front of a fireplace. I knew this fireplace looked familiar and then I finally placed it. It is in the guest house at Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, Minneapolis where Nirvana recorded “In Utero” in February of 1993.
When Nirvana released the deluxe version of “Nevermind” in 2011, it included a disc called “The Devonshire Mixes”. These were rough mixes made in May of 1991, that producer Butch Vig put together during production of the album for the band to hear. They were called “The Devonshire Mixes” because they were mixed at Devonshire Sound Studios in North Hollywood, California
Flea performed “Smells Like Teen Spirit” live with Nirvana on January 23, 1993 at the Hollywood Rock Festival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The chance performance took place because the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana were on the same bill for the Hollywood Rock Festival. Instead of playing the bass, Flea played the Trumpet.
I never knew such a photo existed but here is Dave Grohl with ex-wife Jennifer Youngblood and Krist Nocoselic with ex-wife Shelli Dilley at the funeral service for Kurt Cobain. The memorial service was held below at Unity Church of Truth in Seattle Washington on April 10, 1994.
Kurt Cobain married Courtney Love on March 24, 1992 on a cliff overlooking Waikiki Beach on the island of O’aho in Hawaii. After flying in from Japan, Nirvana was in town to play two-sold out shows in Honolulu on February 21 & 22.
Under the headline: “Reaching Nirvana: The Grunge Gods Get In Touch With Their Feminine Side”, Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic posed for these sexy fashionable photos in the November 1993 issue of Mademoiselle Magazine.
We recently found a cool The Beatles + Oasis album “cover” mash up. Well here is another cool one from the same site…The Doors – “The Best Of” + Nirvana – “Nevermind”
Nirvana “In Utero” tour photos are always recognizable because of the angel wing mannequins on stage. The mannequins were inspired from the “transparent anatomical mankin” on the cover of the “In Utero” album. Some of the best photos of Kurt Cobain playing live have these mankins with angel wings in the background. Here are a few of our favorites we came across…
Kurt Cobain’s height has been listed anywhere from 5″10 to 5″7 wIth most agreeing on 5″9. Kurt had scoliosis and spinal curvature as well as the bad posture he sang about in the song” Pennyroyal Tea”. All of this may have contributed to him looking shorter than he really was although, it’s pretty tough to get a good gauge on him as his height seems to change from photo to photo
On Decemeber 13, 1993 Nirvana rehearsed and taped their MTV Live & Loud concert performance at Pier 48 in Seattle, Washington. The concert aired on MTV for their 1993 New Year’s Eve special. The hosts were Anthony Kiedis and Flea. And that’s where these pictures of Anthony and Flea in drag with Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic come from…
