In Aberdeen , I hated my best friends with a passion, because they were idiots.
As quoted in The Daily Of The University Of Washington (1989-05-05).
I'd like to live off the band, but if not, I'll just retire to Mexico or Yugoslavia with a few hundred dollars, grow potatoes, and learn the history of rock through back issues of Creem magazine.
As quoted in The Daily Of The University Of Washington (1989-05-05).
It's really not hard to keep your dignity and sign to a major label ...Most people don't have any dignity in the first place.
As quoted in Sounds (1990-10).
Rap music is the only vital form of music introduced since punk rock .
As quoted in M.E.A.T (1991-09).
I knew I was different. I thought that I might be gay or something because I couldn't identify with any of the guys at all. None of them liked art or music, they just wanted to fight and get laid. It was many years ago but it gave me this real hatred for the average American macho male.
As quoted in Melody Maker (1991-09-14).
Rape is one of the most terrible crimes on earth. And it happens every few minutes.
As quoted in New Musical Express (1991-11-23).
Hope I die before I turn into Pete Townshend .
As quoted in BAM (1992-01-10).
I would like to get rid of the homophobes , sexists , and racists in our audience. I know they're out there and it really bothers me.
As quoted in SPIN (1992-01).
We sound like the Bay City Rollers after an assault by Black Sabbath . And, we vomit onstage better than anyone.
As quoted in Guitar World (1992-01).
If I went to jail, at least I wouldn't have to sign autographs .
As quoted in Details (1992-02).
I just can’t believe anyone would start a band just to make the scene and be cool and have chicks. I just can’t believe it.
As quoted in Option (1992-01-02).
I can’t comment on Soundgarden because I know them personally and I really like them a lot, but I have strong feelings towards Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains and bands like that. They’re obviously just corporate puppets that are just trying to jump on the alternative bandwagon - and we are being lumped into that category.
As quoted in Flipside (1992-03).
Zits are beauty marks.
As quoted in Sassy (1992-04).
All drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with your self-esteem. They’re no good at all. But I’m not going to go around preaching against [them].
As quoted in Rolling Stone (1992-04-16).
I wouldn’t wear a tie-dyed tee-shirt unless it was dyed with the urine of Phil Collins and the blood of Jerry Garcia .
As quoted in Melody Maker (1992-07-18).
Yeah, I was run out of town. They chased me up to the castle of Aberdeen with torches. Just like the Frankenstein monster. And I got away in a hot air balloon. And I came here to Seattle .
As quoted in Monk Magazine (1992-10).
If you're really a mean person you're going to come back as a fly and eat poop.
As quoted in Monk Magazine (1992-10).
Jocks have completely taken over music... And just to get back at them, I’m going to start playing basketball .
As quoted in Musician (1993-10).
I wouldn't have been surprised if they had voted me Most Likely To Kill Everyone At A High School Dance.
As quoted in Howl (1993-07-22).
The thrill and embarrassment of becoming international pop stars was too much, so we opened our mouths and put our foot in sometimes.
As quoted in Details (1993-11).
I'm a much happier guy than a lot of people think I am.
As quoted in Rolling Stone (1993-01-27).
I can't play [guitar] like Pete Townshend . The flip side of that is that Pete Townshend could probably never have played like me.
As quoted in Fender Frontline Magazine (Fall 1994).
If it was up to me, I'd get more oil tanker drivers drunk. I don’t value music much. I like the Beatles , but I hate Paul McCartney . I like Led Zeppelin, but I hate Robert Plant . I like the Who, but I hate Roger Daltrey .
As quoted in The NIRVANA Reader: 1988 – 1992 (Published December 2008).

They're claiming that [the grunge bands ] finally put Seattle on the map, but, like, what map? ...I mean, we had Jimi Hendrix . Heck, what more do we want?
From an interview with Marc Coiteux on Musique Plus, 1991-09-21, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
They ( Extreme ) surround themselves with these professional, dickhead, commercial rock and roll guys...when they show up at an airport, their manager runs ahead of them and yells at the people greeting them, 'No video! We want a path straight to the van! We don't want any pictures taken!' Y'know, I'm like, "So what?"
Date unknown, but believed to be 1992-06-30 in Sweden [1] .
Same thing happened in the punk movement in the late 70's...a punk band would start, play one gig, and get signed to a major label right away, 'cause it [was] a trend. That just shows there are a lot of old school dinosaurs in the record industry who need to be weeded out.
Date unknown, but believed to be 1992-06-30 in Sweden [2] .
Music comes first; lyrics are secondary. Most of my lyrics are contradictions. I'll write a few sincere lines, and then I'll have to make fun of [them]. I don't like to make it too obvious, because if it is too obvious, it gets really stale. You shouldn't be in people's faces 100% all the time. We don't mean to be really cryptic or mysterious, but I just think that lyrics that are different and weird and spacey paint a nice picture. It's just the way I like art.
Date unknown, but appears on Live! Tonight! Sold Out!! .
I would like to think there's some purity in us, yeah. Naive - y'know, purposely naive.

Incesticide liner notes (1992)[ edit ]
Punk Rock (while still sacred to some) is, to me, dead and gone. We just wanted to pay tribute to something that helped us to feel as though we had crawled out of the dung heap of conformity.
I'll be the first to admit that we're the 90's version of Cheap Trick or the Knack but the last to admit that it hasn't been rewarding.
At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us - leave us the fuck alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records.
Last year, a girl was raped by two wastes of sperm and eggs while they sang the lyrics to our song "Polly" . I have a hard time carrying on knowing there are plankton like that in our audience.
To be positive at all times is to ignore all that is important, sacred or valuable. To be negative at all times is to be threatened by ridiculousness and instant discredibility. [p. 18]
I use bits and pieces of others [sic] personalities to form my own. [p. 95]
John Lennon has been my idol all my life but he's dead wrong about revolution... find a representative of gluttony or oppression and blow the motherfuckers [sic] head off. [p. 130]
Why in the hell do journalists insist on coming up with a second rate Freudian evaluation on my lyrics when 90% of the time they've transcribed the lyrics incorrectly? [p. 190]
I mean it seems like there are only two options for songwriters [sic] personalities either theyre [sic] sad, tragic visionaries like morrissey or michael stipe or robert smith or theres [sic] the goofy, nutty white boy, Hey lets party and forget everything people like Van Halen or all that other Heavy metal crap. [p. 44]
Birds...scream at the top of their lungs in horrified hellish rage every morning at daybreak to warn us all of the truth. They know the truth. Screaming bloody murder all over the world in our ears, but sadly we don't speak bird. [p. 224]
When I hear the term Right wing I think of Hitler and Satan and Civil war. [p. 259]
I would only wear a tie dyed T Shirt if it were dyed with the urine of Phil Collins and the blood of Jerry Garcia . [p. 269]
I am not well read, but when I do read, I read well. [p. 124]
I need an easy friend
I do, with an ear to lend.
The lady whom I feel maternal love for
Cannot look me in the eyes
But I see hers and they are blue
And they cock and twist and masturbate.
She loves him more than he will ever know
He loves her more than he will ever show
For putting me on this Earth
I feel very privileged
With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid, and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us.
Load up on guns, and bring your friends.
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido.
I found it hard,
It was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind.
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means.
Come as you are, as you were
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as a known enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.
'Cause today I found my friends
They're in my head.
I'm so ugly, that's okay
'Cause so are you,
Think I should get off her first
Think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch.
One baby to another says
I'm lucky to have met you
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong, but what should I do?
It's OK to eat fish
'Cos they don't have any feelings
Teenage angst has paid off well
Now I'm bored and old.
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally.
And the flowers sing in D minor
And the birds fly happily.
And if you save yourself
You will make him happy.
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail.
Neither side is sacred; no one wants to win
Feeling so sedated; think I'll just give in.
If I may, and if I might
Lay me down, weeping.

Quotes about Cobain[ edit ]
Genius is a weird and inappropriate word, and hard work is underrated, but Kurt Cobain had a distinct and personal take on the world, and generally, when someone strikes a chord with his audience, that’s what people respond to...I have to admit that I wasn’t particularly a fan of Nirvana when I was asked to work on In Utero , but during the course of making the record I came to appreciate that they were genuine about their band and their music, that Kurt was capable of sophisticated thinking, and that they and their music were unique.
Lou Barlow , quoted by Marc Hawthorne in "Interview: Dinosaur Jr." , The A.V. Club (2005-07-20).
He had a touch most guitarists would kill for.
Chuck Berry , according to Kurt Cobain by Christopher Sandford , Orion Press, 1995.
People were trying to call me to do interviews on the anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death. They want me to say some poignant shit about some poor guy who blew his head off. It's just like, "Give me a fuckin' break, man"...Just say the guy made some good records, and let's get on with it.
Frank Black , quoted by Scott Gordon in "Interview: Frank Black" , The A.V. Club (2006-10-19).
I remember watching Kurt come through and thinking, "God, this music is nuclear," This is really splitting the atom. They raised the temperature for everybody. Manufactured pop never looked so cold as when that heat was around. Nirvana made everything else look silly.
Bono , quoted in Lorraine Ali, "Cries From The Heart," Newsweek (2002-10-28).
I was simply blown away when I found out that Kurt Cobain liked my work, and I always wanted to talk to him about his reasons for covering "Man Who Sold The World." It was a good straightforward rendition and sounded somehow very honest. It would have been nice to have worked with him, but just talking would have been real cool.
David Bowie , quoted in "A Fan's Notes," SPIN (1995-04).
Cobain was very shy, very polite, and obviously enjoyed the fact that I wasn’t awestruck at meeting him. There was something about him, fragile and engagingly lost.
William S. Burroughs , according to Nirvana: The Day-By-Day Chronicle by Carrie Borzillo .
Kurt's got a literary bent, and jokes that he likes "anything that starts with a B. I think I like Burroughs best, and I'm into Bukowski and Beckett ."
Katherine Turman, 'Smells Like...NIRVANA', in: RIP Magazine February 1992.
I'm sorry I couldn't have spoken to the young man. I see a lot of people at the Zen Center, who have gone through drugs and found a way out that is not just Sunday school. There are always alternatives, and I might have been able to lay something on him. Or maybe not.
Leonard Cohen , quoted by Peter Howell, Addicted To Noise (1995-08-06).
That kid has heart.
Bob Dylan , after hearing the Nirvana song "Polly" , according to Heavier Than Heaven by Charles R. Cross , Hyperion, 2001.
A couple weeks ago, one of my students gave me a mixed tape of Kurt Cobain and there was a version of "Black Girl" of great artistry. Great vocal control and subtlety, it's almost as good as Leadbelly's .
Allen Ginsberg , quoted by George Petros in "ALLEN GINSBERG. GROOVIN' GURU. Beat laureate ALLEN GINSBERG goes bananas," Seconds, Issue 28 (1994).
He's the most talented person I ever worked with because he was talented in so many different ways. He's a guitar player and a lead singer and he wrote all the songs. He did everything for Nirvana that it took Jimmy Page and Robert Plant to do for Led Zeppelin . Kurt also designed the album covers and wrote treatments for the videos. He even designed the t-shirts. He was really a comprehensive genius when it came to the art of rock and roll.
Danny Goldberg , quoted by Stephen Elliott in "The Shorty Q&A with Kurt Cobain's Former Manager Danny Goldberg" , The Rumpus, (2009-01-30).
I suddenly realized Michael [Pitt] was much taller than Kurt, and much more buff, actually. Kurt was a wee little man, with these big piercing blue eyes and this tremendous smile — and that's one thing that nobody can replicate.
Kim Gordon , quoted by Rodrigo Perez and Courtney Reimer in "Sonic Youth Revisit Their Friend Kurt Cobain In 'Last Days'" , MTV.com (2005-07-22).
I still dream about Kurt. Every time I see him in a dream, I’ll be amazed and I get this feeling that everyone else thinks he’s dead. It always feels totally real, probably because I’m a very vivid dreamer. But, in my dreams, Kurt’s usually been hiding - we’ll get together and I’ll end up asking him, "God, where have you been"
Dave Grohl , quoted in "I still dream about Kurt" NME (2007-10-31).
I met him a few times. As a writer I had enormous respect for him. He was an incredible writer and an incredible singer. And when I met him I found him to be a very special person. He was one of those special people. There was a light inside him that you could see. He had a charisma that went beyond his physical presence.
PJ Harvey , quoted by Barney Hoskyns in "AUDIO: AUDIO: PJ Harvey (2004)" , Rock's Backpages Audio (2004-04-14).
Kurt really reminded me a lot of John [Lennon] in his writing, singing, and guitar playing. More attitude than technique, but he had incredibly strong rhythm and a great solo sense.
Jim Keltner , according to Classic Rock Albums: Nevermind by Jim Berkenstadt and Charles Cross, Schirmer, 1998.
Rage and aggression were elements for Kurt to play with as an artist, but he was profoundly gentle and intelligent.
Thurston Moore , quoted in "When The Edge Moved To The Middle," The New York Times (2004-04-08).
I went to see Nirvana at a small club called the Pyramid on Avenue A in New York City . It was hard to hear the guitar, but the guy playing and singing had a vibe; he hopped around like a muppet or an elf or something, hunched over his guitar, hop hop hop, hippety hippety hop. I loved that. When he sang, he put his voice in this really grating place, and it was kind of devilish sounding. At the end of the set he attacked the drum kit and threw the cymbals, other bits and finally himself into the audience. Later I saw the same guy passing the bar. He was little, with stringy blond hair and a Stooges T-shirt. I felt proud.
Iggy Pop , quoted in "A Fan's Notes," SPIN (1995-04).
[Cobain] was a revealing symbol. He called himself passive-aggressive. There was self-pity, whining. There was a diminishment, a diminution. He was sitting there in his sweater, hunched over his guitar, looking like a little lost boy. Compare that with the great figures of my generation: Jimi Hendrix. Pete Townshend. Keith Richards.
Camille Paglia , Playboy interview, March 1995
Kurt Cobain represents a very legit, realistic outlook. Before that, in my head, to be a white artist was to be privileged. You celebrated the glamor and you got respect. But here's someone that was really taking a hip-hop stance on all of that. Who doesn't play their hit single in concert? Are you crazy? He took that nihilistic Sonic Youth approach, that tortured-everyday-guy thing, to the hilt
?uestlove , quoted by Ryan Dombal in "?uestlove: 15 Years" , Pitchfork (2011-08-19).
Cobain changed the course of where the music went. There are certain people where you can see the axis of musical history twisting on them: Hendrix was pivotal, Prince was pivotal, Cobain was pivotal.
Vernon Reid , quoted in The "Immortals - The Greatest Artists Of All Time" , Rolling Stone (2004-04-15).
In Kurt’s voice I could hear his love of bluegrass music , of Bill Monroe and Leadbelly . It’s in the twang of his voice.
Patti Smith , quoted by Jim Farber in "Patti Smith still doesn’t change horses midstream," Pop Matters (2007-10-13).
Yeah, he talked a lot about what direction he was heading in. I mean, I know what the next Nirvana recording was going to sound like. It was going to be very quiet and acoustic, with lots of stringed instruments. It was going to be an amazing fucking record, and I’m a little bit angry at him for killing himself. He and I were going to record a trial run of the album, a demo tape. It was all set up. He had a plane ticket. He had a car picking him up. And at the last minute he called and said, "I can't come."
Michael Stipe , quoted by Jeff Giles in "Everybody Hurts Sometimes," Newsweek (1994-09-26).
I was in Pioneer Square - I went to see some band, I don't know if it was the the Melvins . Kurt was there - I think Kurt was by himself and I was by myself. I went over to tell him how much I loved Bleach . He was very quiet and subdued. He said, "Thanks - that means a lot coming from you. Consider yourself our biggest influence."
Kim Thayil , quoted by Greg Prato in Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music, ECW Press, 2009.
And like I said I love Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, the lyrics are so deep--stuff like "The animals I've trapped have now become my pets".
Tricky , quoted by David Trueman in "Tricky Business - An interview with Tricky" on Amazon.co.uk.
He's your archetypal small guy - wiry, defiantly working class and fiery.
Everett True , in "Everett True Thrashes It Out With The Latest Wizards From Seattle's Sub Pop Label Who Arrive In Britain Next Week," Melody Maker (1989-10-21).
Kurt's wounds were so deep that when the music floated to the surface after being filtered through his soul, it was incorporeal.
Steven Tyler , quoted in "A Fan's Notes," SPIN (1995-04).
...With Kurt Cobain you felt you were connecting to the real person, not to a perception of who he was - you were not connecting to an image or a manufactured cut-out.
Lars Ulrich , quoted in "Lars Ulrich: Kurt Cobain Didn't Want to Share the Stage with Guns N' Roses," Blabbermouth.net (2004-04-01).
You know, I always thought I'd go first. I don't know why I thought that, it just seemed like I would. I mean, I didn't know him on a daily basis - far from it. But, in a way, I don't even feel right being here without him. It's so difficult to really believe he's gone. I still talk about him like he's still here, you know. I can't figure it out. It doesn't make any sense.
Eddie Vedder , quoted in "I'm Not Your Fuckin' Messiah" , Melody Maker Magazine (1994-05-21).
He really, really inspired me. He was so great. Wonderful. One of the best, but more than that. Kurt was one of the absolute best of all time for me.
