Rape Me (of Nirvana's Songs)

2006-03-12 by pulseczar | 30 Comments
Prepare for Smells like Teen Spirit to be rocking out in car commercials, because Courtney Love is going to sell a share of rights to the Nirvana back catalogues. She's already had Cobain's journal sold, various compilations out, probably much to Kurt Cobain's ex-band member's dismay, who fought her in court over various cases regarding new releases.

March 12 she told the Sunday Mirror in England that the exact amount will be 25 percent of the back catalogue. No matter the percent, we can all reast assured it will be "for quite a lot of money". £70 million to be exact.

Who has the cash for Kurt & Co's works of art? None other than Martha Stewart. I guess jail just makes your tastes that much more aggressive.

I still have no clue why dave or even the bass player(forget his name:P) don't get any of the rights, that shows the buisness side of the music industry.

Goddamn Courtney Love.... She's the reason why Cobain's dead... All the rights should go to the guys in Nirvana, not some crack whore.

Mmmm. Lol totaly agree. Law suit here, Court hearing there. Can't she be happy with the money from her OWN songs? I suppose Celebrity Skin isn't exactly All Apologies now is it?

I really don't see what the deal is, Kurt would probably have had no problem with it.

I 100% think Courtney Love is the f***ing reson Kurt's dead. stupid crack whore slut addict piece of crap. I hope she goes to hell for this. Dave and the other guy should get all the rights for the music since they made half of it anyway.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone, but the reason they don't give Dave and Krist rights is because they barely wrote any of the music. They were mostly Cobains songs.

Good, maybe this will make Nirvana fanboys freak out after hearing their oh so deep songs being played on commercials and in turn will make them realize that Nirvana isn't anything holy.

What was Kurt thinking when he married that crack whore?

The guy killed himself, that shows his intelligence more then anything.This Message Edited On 03.13.06

Its shocking how Courtny Love has taken Kurts bandwagon for a ride. The man is dead, maybe becuase she forced him to that (as well as the drugs lets not forget), and so should just stop taking his money and give it the people who deserve it that are alive today, Dave and the bass player (who ever he is)

fisky...it is well known that kurt was on drugs well before he met courtney...

courtney was his wife and is by law entitled to everything and can do whatever she wants. kurt has no money. kurt is dead. he can't use money in heaven.

once again people the reason why the guys in the band don't have rights to the music is because kurt wrote it all. they just played instruments.

come on people get off of it. i love nirvana but they we're the limp bizkit of the grunge era. enjoy the music...but don't take it all so seriouslyThis Message Edited On 03.14.06

It doesn't bother me much, it doesn't matter who holds the 'rights', they will always be Kurt's, and Nirvana's songs.

As if Nirvana's music hasn't already oversaturated radio airwaves and even the occasional VH1/MTV special, now I get to hear it on commercials too hopefully! Finally I will never have to go more than half an hour without hearing Kurt's talentless wailing! This is almost as much fun as when Michael Jackson bought the rights to The Beatles' songs!

Interesting how a band who came out with two popular albums and lasted a span of 5 years could retain this much power and cause so much controversy. Take that, Hole.

Nirvana were the reason I stopped listening to the radio; hearing Cobain's terrible whining what seemed like ever hour was too much for me. Now i'm gonna have to hear it Chevy commercials and crap of that nature? Insufferable.

I just have a problem with people licensing music to commercials period. Music is expressed emotion. Commercials are designed to force a targeted audience to buy a product. The two shouldn't mix. I doubt the white-collared CEO's give a damn about what Kurt (or any musician for that matter) meant with a song.

Just my two (three) cents.

wow, this is some heated arguments.
uhhh...... well................
selling the music doesnt seem so bad, but I still dont think it's right for her to have sold his journals and had them published. That's just wrong.

Nah, it's bullshit. I don't care if you like Nirvana or not, forget your opinion on that, either way, it was music. Courtney, a woman also in the music industry, and his widow, should have enough respect for the man to not sell his music (his legend) so it could become part of what Kurt hated about the industry. No respect whatsoever, in my opinion. Just looking to cash in on the death of Kurt Cobain. Whether you like Nirvana, Kurt, or feel he had any talent, take all the names out, and say, "A famous artist's widow is selling his back catalogue to be used in commercials and elsewhere. Taking his music and applying it to other things solely for (unneeded) financial gain." Whether his music was complete shit, or were masterpieces, it's still soulless.

limp bizkit of grunge era?

minus the fact that all fred durst do is turning things into a joke about himself... and Kurt tries to be off the people's mouths. until he shot himself...


Nirvana is a good band but not that musically groundbreaking as what people say they are...
