| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | I would like to get rid of the homophobes, racists and sexists in our audience. I know they're out there, and it really bothers me. So at this point I have a request for our fans: If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of a different color, or women, please do this one favor for us... Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records. |
| 2 | None of you will ever know my true intent. |
| 3 | [on his Irish ancestry] They came from County Cork, which is a really weird coincidence, because when we toured Ireland, we played in Cork and the entire day I walked around in a daze. I'd never felt more spiritual in my life. It was the weirdest feeling and I have a friend who was with me who could testify to this. I was almost in tears the whole day. Since that tour, which was about two years ago, I've had a sense that I was from Ireland. |
| 4 | It just so happens that there's a bunch of people that are concerned with what I have to say. I find that frightening at times because I'm just as confused as most people. |
| 5 | I didn't know how to deal with success. If there was a Rock Star 101, I would have liked to take it. It might have helped me. |
| 6 | I never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar - hide in the back and just play. |
| 7 | When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily I should have been in that band - or at least in a Pixies cover band. |
| 8 | The music comes first. Lyrics are second. (When asked how he writes his songs.) |
| 9 | If I went to jail, at least I wouldn't have to sign autographs. |
| 10 | I'm not gay, but I wish I was just to piss off the homophobes. |
| 11 | "I stared into his eyes and told him that I thought he was a respectable human. I did tell him straight out that I think his band still sucks." - on his encounter with Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder. |
| 12 | [To 'Weird Al" Yankovic', when asked for permission to do a parody of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"] "It isn't going to be about food, is it?". |
| 13 | I think people who glamorize drugs are f**king *ssholes and if there's hell they'll go there. |
| 14 | I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not. |
| 15 | I'm not a death rocker, and I don't wear black. |
| 16 | I'm not well-read, but when I read, I read well. |
| 17 | Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are. |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | During a Nirvana concert, he witnessed a girl being groped in the audience. Without missing a beat, he threw his guitar to the ground (a Martin D-18E electric guitar, one of the rarest electric guitars ever made and worth a significant amount of money), dived into the audience and angrily confronted the man who groped the woman. Upon returning to the stage, Cobain and the other band members openly mocked the man as he was being forcibly led out by security. |
| 2 | His death was similar to that of Kenny MacLean and Layne Staley in that nobody found him until 3 days after he died. |
| 3 | Strong supporter of LGBT equality and similar causes. He emphatically stated in an interview that if someone was homophobic, racist or misogynistic, then they could do the band a huge favor and refrain from buying a Nirvana album or attending any their concerts because he didn't want their money and wanted nothing to do with them. |
| 4 | His body was discovered on April 8, 1994 - a day on which he was originally scheduled to perform at the Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland. |
| 5 | Died at 27 years old, making him a member of the "27 Club"; The 27 Club is a group of prominent musicians who died at the age of 27. Other members include Rolling Stones co-founder Brian Jones, guitarist Jimi Hendrix, singer Janis Joplin, The Doors frontman Jim Morrison and Amy Winehouse. |

| 15 | Surpassed Elvis Presley to become the world's top-earning dead celebrity. He raked in £26.3 million from beyond the grave during 2006, according to US business website Forbes.com. |
| 16 | Nirvana won the 1993 Brit Award for International Breakthrough Act. |
| 17 | Said he eventually wanted to experiment with filmmaking. He even wrote a script for a horror movie. |
| 18 | Has said in interviews that he always wanted to give acting a try and be in a movie. |
| 19 | Has been voted as "the greatest rock'n'roll hero of all time" by the readers of "NME" magazine (10 May 2006). |
| 20 | "Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters of concern over the past years. I don't have the passion anymore and so remember, it's better to burn out than fade away" (addressed to Nirvana fans in his suicide note). |
| 21 | Son of Donald Cobain and Wendy Fradenburg. Grandson of Leland Cobain and Iris Cobain née LaBrot and Charles Fradenburg and Peggy Fradenburg née Irving. His parents married in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho on July 31, 1965. They had a son and a daughter while they were married to each other. Kurt, born February 20, 1967 and Kimberly, born on April 24, 1970. They divorced in 1976. |
| 22 | Drew Barrymore is the godmother of his daughter Frances Bean Cobain. |
| 23 | He wore blue-plaid pajamas and a woven Guatemalan purse to his wedding to Courtney Love. |
| 24 | The song "About a Girl" was about his one-time girlfriend Tracey Marander. |
| 25 | Suffered chronic stomach pain due to a re-occuring red irritation, back pain from scoliosis (curvature of the spine), and chronic bronchitis due to heavy smoking. |
| 26 | His 3 favorite films were Paris, Texas (1984), - as stated on the "Nevermind - It's An Interview" CD; Over the Edge (1979); and Rear Window (1954). |
| 27 | Was a left-handed guitarist and a right-handed drummer. |
| 28 | His songs have been covered by bands ranging from Evanescence to hard rock supergroup Velvet Revolver to female Japanese duo Cibo Matto. |
| 29 | His death marked the end of the Grunge era. |
| 30 | Posthumous album "Nirvana: MTV Unplugged" earned he and Nirvana a 1995 Grammy. It was the only Grammy they won. |
| 31 | Daughter Frances Bean Cobain looks almost exactly like him. She has the distinct blue eyes, and nose. |
| 32 | At one time sang in the choir at a Baptist church. |
| 33 | Nirvana were voted the 27th Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Artists of all time by Rolling Stone. |
| 34 | His parents divorced when he was 7. |
| 35 | Obsessed with vinyl, he had a substantially expensive record collection. |
| 36 | His mom was 19 and his dad was 21 when he was born. |
| 37 | He wrote a song for his friend Mark Lanegan, who sang for the Screaming Trees. The song was never recorded because Mark said not only would it be like digging up the grave of an old friend, but the song simply didn't fit with the rest of the "Dust" album in a lyrical sense. |
| 38 | The song "Mighty K.C." by For Squirrels was written about him. |
| 39 | Was runner-up for Best Songwriter of 1994 in "Rolling Stone" magazine's annual critics' poll. He ranked between Freedy Johnston and Sam Phillips, who placed 1st and 3rd in the poll, respectively. |
| 40 | Samples of Cobain-penned song lyrics: "I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned" ("Negative Creep," 1989)... "She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart" ("Aneurysm," 1990)... "And I forget just why I taste/oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile/I found it hard, it's hard to find/oh well, whatever, nevermind" ("Smells Like Teen Spirit," 1991)... "My heart is broke/but I have some glue/help me inhale/and mend it with you/we'll float around/and hang out on clouds/then we'll come down/and have a hangover" ("Dumb," 1993)... "I'll keep fighting jealousy/until it's fucking gone" ("Lounge Act," 1991)... "The animals I've trapped/have all become my pets" ("Something in the Way," 1991)... "Things have never been so swell/I have never failed to feel pain" ("You Know You're Right," 1994)... "All in all is all we all are" ("All Apologies," 1993). |
| 41 | Named 12th greatest guitar player of all-time by Rolling Stone magazine in 2003. |
| 42 | Played a trick on the MTV brass when he began Nirvana's appearance at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards by playing the first few chords of the song "Rape Me" and singing the first verse. He then quickly switched to playing "Lithium", the song the band had agreed to play in the show as a compromise with MTV executives. Cobain had wanted to sing the then-new song "Rape Me", while MTV's bigwigs wanted the band to lead off the show with their signature song, "Smells Like Teen Spirit". The two sides settled on a mid-show rendition of "Lithium". |
| 43 | Recent biography is written by Charles Cross, an influential icon in the Seattle music scene. The biography, "Heavier Than Heaven", is said to be the most comprehensive biography of one of the most mysterious artists in music history. |
| 44 | The original title for "Heart-Shaped Box" was "Heart-Shaped Coffin." |
| 45 | The Nirvana song "Scentless Apprentice" is based on a book called "Perfume" by Patrick Süskind. |
| 46 | His most popular songs include "About a Girl", "Been a Son", "Negative Creep", "Aneurysm", "Dive", "Sliver", "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Lithium", "In Bloom", "Polly", "Something in the Way", "Heart-Shaped Box", "Rape Me", "Dumb", "Pennyroyal Tea", "All Apologies" and "You Know You're Right" (written and recorded shortly before his death but not officially released until October 2002). |
| 47 | According to his widow, Courtney Love, Cobain left behind 109 unreleased, recorded songs when he died in 1994. Some are just song fragments, some music "collages", and about eight are acoustic numbers that Love deems good enough for release. One song, "Stinking of You", which he wrote with Love, includes the line "Stinking of you...I don't care if my life is shattered, it's my point of view..." |
| 48 | Half-brother: Chad Cobain. |
| 49 | Half-sister: Brianne O'Conner. |
| 50 | Sister: Kim. |
| 51 | Was of Irish, English, German, and French ancestry. |
| 52 | His most famous song, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", was voted by Rolling Stone Magazine and MTV as the 3rd best pop song out of 100 of all time. |
| 53 | His songs have been covered by Tori Amos, Sinéad O'Connor, Herbie Hancock, and Branford Marsalis. |
| 54 | After his death, many musicians recorded tribute songs to him. Some of these include R.E.M.'s "Let Me In", Patti Smith's "About a Boy", Neil Young's "Sleeps with Angels", "Tearjerker" by Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Shotgun Suicide" by El Duce, "Kurt Cobain" by Wesley Willis and Cher's "The Fall" (which she wrote after learning about his suicide and included on her album "Not.Comm.ercial", which was for sale only on the Internet). His death is referred to in the lyrics of the Badly Drawn Boy song "You Were Right". He is also mentioned in the songs "Californication" by Red Hot Chili Peppers and "Innocent" by Our Lady Peace. |
| 55 | Although Cobain's death was officially ruled a suicide, certain aspects about his death have led to speculation that he was murdered: He had entirely too much heroin in his system at the time of his death to have been able to operate a shotgun; he would have been incapacitated within seconds of injecting it. Also, the so-called "suicide note" may have been a letter to his fans expressing his desire to quit both Nirvana and the music business altogether. In addition, one of Cobain's credit cards was being used a few days AFTER his death. |
| 56 | Guitar and vocals for the legendary grunge band Nirvana. |
| 57 | Ashes were scattered in McLane Creek in Olympia, Washington. A handful were scattered under the willow at the front of 171 Lake Washinton Boulevard in Seattle, and another handful was given to a Buddhist to make a "tsatsu" (a memorial sculpture). |
| 58 | Daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, born. [August 1992] |
