During his brief life, Kurt Cobain was the type of galvanizing artistic visionary that comes along perhaps once in a generation.
In death, he has become even more. Legend, icon, embodiment of rock music itself...he has been called all of these things, and five years after his death, his weight in the musical universe
will be studied even further. To mark the arrival of this somber date, we reached back to the days when Cobain
was still just a man (an extraordinarily talented one, but a man nonetheless). In October of 1993, Kurt was preparing to launch what would be Nirvana's final studio album, "In Utero."
As the band (Cobain on vocals and guitar, Krist Novoselic on bass, and Dave Grohl on drums) launched their tour at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, Arizona, MusicMania Team
sat down with them to talk about the arena rock status the band had reached on that outing. |
