Unknown sides of Cobain

There were many sides to Kurt. We hear stories of Cobain trowing a computer out the window or smashing guitars and singing great songs. We are just picking a few unknown sides of for today’s article on guitardoor we hope you enjoy.

I was aware of Nirvana long before their first recording of “Bleach” due to a very particular circumstance. I lived so far up on a Mountain that frequencies carried to Ohio from as far as Florida on the radio, and funnily I had a wah Pedal that if you turned it on and set it in a precise spot it picked up Cuban Radio! In the early and mid-80s, the cassette was still a highly used Media and I found a strange radio station that played cassette recordings of demos and work tapes of bands unheard of outside their home base. The band intrigued me back then. 

So when “Bleach” and “Nevermind’ were out I was already a fan. I Followed their career and studied everything I could find well after Kurt’s death. I thought I knew about pretty much everything there was to know. That was until today when Chris Dempsey sent me a video we are going to share with you now. This is Kurt the human, not the King of Grunge.

Musically Kurt was a fan of Diverse nature as well, Hawkwind, a plethora of punk and alternative music, and Daniel Johnston whose T-Shirt “How are you” with an alien was made famous showing the helpful and supportive side of Cobain.
