As had been rumored for some time, Sir Paul McCartney of Beatles fame would be the man that was chosen to step into the void left by legendary Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994.

The much-hyped performance came half way through McCartney’s set. His regular band exited the stage and Grohl, Novoselic and Smear appeared to perform a brand new song called “Cut Me Some Slack.”Continue Reading

Kurt Cobain Reincarnated?

Russian Busker Nirvana Kurt Cobain Reincarnated?

Forget the crap about Justin Bieber being Nirvana legend Kurt Cobain’s reincarnation, we have recently stumbled across someone who sounds uncannily like the infamous front man.

I reckon that if Kurt Cobain was to come back from the dead, it would be much more his style to return as a subway busker, rather than as some sort of pansy pop princess anyway!

Listen to this rendition of Pennyroyal Tea as performed by this mystery Russian busker on a subway – you’d be hard pushed not to admit that he sounds eerily similar to the tragic grunge icon. The intonation of the words in the song is almost identical and I got shivers down my spine when I watched the video!

The music industry needs to find this guy and sign him up!! Continue Reading

It all started when ‘Amanda Bieber’ tweeted the following load of nonsense…

“Kurt Cobain (some rock singer) died in 1994, the same year Justin Bieber was born. RT if you think Bieber is Kurt reincarnated,”

Love Loses Kurt Cobain’s Image Rights To Daughter

Cobain and Love with Frances Love Loses Kurt Cobain’s Image Rights To Daughter

According to recent reports, Courtney Love, the controversial widow of the revered Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain, has lost the publicity rights to his image to her 19-year old daughter Frances Bean Cobain in exchange for $2.75m loan.

The Fix, an online magazine which deals with addiction and recovery issues obtained documents that allege that Love stepped down as the manager of The End of Music – the company which presides over Cobain’s publicity rights in exchange for this huge loan from her daughter’s trust fund. She will not have access to any new deals relating to Cobain’s image until she has repaid the loan.

Love and Frances Bean have always had a troubled relationship, when she was just a few weeks old Love admitted in a magazine interview that she had taken heroin even though she knew she was pregnant. After this child services intervened and a long investigation was carried out, Frances Bean was even removed from her parents care for a short while. A few months later Kurt Cobain took his own life, aged just 27 years old.

Since then there have been several arguments between mother and daughter, Love was never far from the headlines because of her drug and alcohol addictions and there were dozens of allegations of negligence and unfit parenting. In 2009 Kurt Cobain’s sister Kimberly and paternal grandmother were named legal guardians of Frances Bean.

Frances Bean turned 18 in August 2010 and took over ownership of the majority of her trust fund, reports state that her and Love are currently involved in a fight over some of Cobain’s belongings which include musical equipment, artwork and items of clothing. Love is also well known for ranting about her daughter online in social media platforms like Twitter.

Ardent Nirvana and Kurt Cobain fans will be pleased to hear that Love’s involvement in his image rights has been reduced. Lots of fans feel a great deal of resentment towards Hole singer Love, with many blaming her for Cobain’s suicide.
