'A powerful and worthwhile artefact that details his life and honours his memory without betraying his fans.' TIME OUT
Product Description
Kurt Cobain, a rock legend in his lifetime and immortalised by his death at 27. He was a reluctant spokesman for a generation, and his band, Nirvana, their music and lifestyle, revived people's faith in rock 'n roll. Musically, Nirvana were hugely influential in the history of rock 'n roll and brought it kicking, spitting and screaming into the 90s. This collection, from the editors of Rolling Stone magazine, brings together interviews, articles, reviews and tributes, as well as an astonishing collection of photographs and illustrations, providing insights and understanding into the life and music of Cobain - his passion, his charm and his vision. The tragedy that was Kurt Cobain's life and death, both musically and personally, is starkly, and lovingly, portrayed.

If this book was about someone else I probably wouldn't have rated it 5/5. But beign about Kurt Cobain it's reason enough to deserve that rate. This book is a tribute, made by the Rolling Stone editors, to the life of Cobain and Nirvana, from the beginning to the end. Every article written on Rolling Stone about Cobain or Nirvana is featured on this book as well as a bunch of pictures from Kurt and Nirvana. Grunge is dead...

It has everything that you could ever hope for in relation to readings on Kurt and the band. A must have for anyone who even thinks that they know who Cobain is.

i bought this book a couple months back thinking, "this is just gonna be another brief book about kurt's life. the same material every other book has." i didn't think that i'd actually get through the whole thing, cos i had heard his story over and over again anyways. i thought it'd be boring. man was i wrong! i couldn't put it down. halfway through the book, i realized this wasn't just any plain biography; this was a big colage of kurt's life: his music, his family, his drug abuse, and his sad death. some people think that kurt was just another junky-musician. but this book proves far beyond a doubt that he was so much more. he was a creative and influential person to all of us (even though some people choose to deny it). after reading this book, i came to the conclusion that i didn't need to buy any other books about kurt cobain, or nirvana, because all the imformation i needed was right in my hands.

Cobain as seen through another musician's eyes.
Kurt Cobain may very well have been the first and last significant musicain of the 1990's. Kurt posessed a talent that few hope for, and what few will have. Read more
