Lars talks Nirvana

[PHOENIX]

LARS ON KURT
From the latest issue of NME Magazine. Lars Ulrich: "In 1991 there was a kind of shift in rock music in America - it was shifting away from all the hair bands in LA. And with Kurt Cobain you felt you were connecting to the real person, not to a perception of who he was - you were not connecting to an image or a manufactured cut-out. You felt that between you and him there was nothing; it was heart-to-heart. There are very few people who have that ability.
"I never met him but our guitarist Kirk Hammett had a relationship with him. We were doing this tour with Guns N' Roses in the US in 1992 and we wanted Nirvana to come out and join us. Kirk asked Kurt, but while Cobain said he would play with Metallica anywhere in the world, at any time, on any stage, he would not step up on the same stage as Guns N' Roses - obviously he felt that Axl was the antithesis to what he was.

"As I said, I never met Kurt, and he's probably the only guy in rock'n'roll that I have never met that I really wanted to - other than Bon Scott maybe. What a sad thing we can't hear the fourth Nirvana album. It would have been so great to be able to see how that would have evolved."

I guess Dave Grohl doesnt feel the same way about GnR. He attended a private show that Velvet Revolver did last may. Where Slash and friends played a cover of Negative Creep.

I think the animosity was toward Axl, not the others.

Kurt didn't have much use for bigotry of any kind. That GNR song "One In A Million" could pass for a KKK national anthem, so that probably had something to do with it.

Ya but what Axl sings about in that song has come across everybody's mind at one time or another.

And the town where Kurt grew up (Aberdeen) was full of them. That's another reason why he hated bigots.

Considering Hammett and his gay style, this sentence sounds like they slept together

Yeah Kurt did not like Axl at all. There was one time when where NIRVANA and G'n'R where playing at the same festival and Axl told Kurt, "tell your bitch to shut up". Kurt simply replied "Shut up bitch".

Bleach, Nevermind, Incesticide, In Utero...isn't that four studio albums?:confused:

Nobody ever had a problem with The BAND of G 'n' R, it was AXL that no one could stand.

Actually that incident took place at the 1992 mtv video awards whn Kurt and Courteney got in a confrontation with Axl and his then girlfriend Stephanie Seymour.

Maybe not "everyone"......but you're right.

Incesticide was made up of unreleased tracks an b-sides. I don't think there was any brand new material on it so I guess that means it doesn't count

You should replay the song and explain what part of that something is that you mean?

I don't about all of you, but I really think Nirvana is overrated. If Cobain wouldn't have killed himself, the band would have faded like Pearl Jam and all of the other Grunge bands. He's given a little too much credit.
