The 13th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death 2007-04-07 by Alex101 | 27 Comments |
It's been exactly thirteen years, April 8, 1994, since the death of former Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain.
He died in his Lake Washington home due to a shotgun blast to the head. He was 27 years old. On April 8, three days after preparing to kill himself, Cobain was discovered in the spare room above the garage (referred to as "the greenhouse") at his Lake Washington home by Veca Electric employee Gary Smith. Smith arrived at the house that morning to install security lighting and saw him lying inside. Apart from a minor amount of blood coming out of Cobain's ear, Smith reported seeing no visible signs of trauma, and initially believed that Cobain was asleep. Smith found what he thought might be a suicide note with a pen stuck through it beneath an overturned flowerpot. A shotgun, purchased for Cobain by Dylan Carlson, was found at Cobain's side. An autopsy report later concluded Cobain's death was a result of a "self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head." The report estimates Cobain to have died on April 5, 1994.
Cobain recorded three full-length albums and a number of EPs with Nirvana as well as a number of releases that surfaced posthumously. His band's sophomore album, 1991's Nevermind, made history by becoming the first grunge album to hit #1 on the Billboard charts, spawning hits such as "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Lithium", "Come as You Are" and "In Bloom". Not only did it popularize the grunge movement; it would also become one of the band's best selling albums of all time and consistently acclaimed as one of the greatest albums ever released.
Following Cobain's death, the two surviving members of Nirvana, Krist Novoselic (bass) and Dave Grohl (drums), later resurfaced in their own projects. Novoselic formed Sweet 75 and Eyes Adrift (with Meat Puppets singer Kurt Kirkwood) and Grohl formed Foo Fighters and also played in a number of projects as well as Queens of the Stone Age and PROBOT.

So what if you don't have a taste for Nirvana's music. That don't mean you can post comments on how a man should have died, or good riddance. That is a complete disrespect towards any person.
I highly doubt you would like people calling you "faggots" after you die?
