Not inside, just took me a minute. Headed reads "Enjoy Shotgun Nirvana". And Kurt Cobain, lead singer for Nirvana ventilated his cranium with a shotgun...
Screw Cobain. He didn’t have a copyright on the word. Not Brownell’s fault he was mentally defective.
I'll admit that one took me a second or 2 as well. But yeah, I don't see Cobain's estate being successful at any claim.lawsuit.
It was a band and singer Mr. Boomer. It was after the victrola era.
They had that one song and then everyone thought they re-invented rock-n-roll. And you can thank them for hairy chicks wearing flannel.
And the albums Nevermind and In Utero had every producer and some bands trying to sound like Nirvana. Cookie cutter. The very thing Kurt was trying to avoid. But he did not have a problem with proven song structure, like "Something About A Girl." He called that a pop song. But overnight, bands had the tours collapse on them. Happened to Twisted Sister. For a while, Dee Snider was posting up fliers for his wife, who makes costumes.
Bobby Blotzer, the drummer from Ratt, went back to his carpet cleaner rental business to make the mortgage payments.
Rikki Rockett ended up starting his own company custom making drum kits to order.
Bruce Dickinson, the singer from Iron Maiden has a commercial pilot's license and flew for a few different airlines and then co-owned a company in Cardiff, Wales where they outfit planes and also provide transport services. He also flew the rented 767 they used for the "Somewhere Back In Time" tour. And the latest one, he flew a converted 747. And has also been rated on the 777.
David Lee Roth went back to school and became a certified New York City paramedic. (Donates the proceeds from his shifts.)
Sammy Hagar started making tequila and bought a restaurant in Cabo St. Lucas.
All this because of "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
Then, again, thanks to producers, hair metal became formulaic. And they did the same thing to grunge. One time, I was listening to a grunge song and realized that if you cleaned the guitar sound a tiny bit and convinced the singer to NOT sound like he was gargling with pebbles, it would be a Queensryche song.
But I digress. Carry on....
Just millennial ad copy writers who have no clue because they are all droning on Taylor Swift and that disgusting tub of lard Lizzo…
Nirvana was soooo 30 years ago!

Must I post this again…
It could be much worse. He could still be married to Courtney Love.
Can we please just let shit like this just naturally die. (lover boy )
the ad wasn’t ballsy, just stupid and deaf in its ignorance
I'm glad I just missed grunge.
Oddly enough the bands of my youth (sevendust, mudvayne, static x, etc.) are generally still touring if they're not dead.
Just went to "when we were young" with the wife and kid and watched the punk bands I remember from MTV (they used to actually play music videos). The guys from blink 182, the offspring, and rise against aren't young anymore, but they still put on a high energy concert.
I do enjoy what the Internet has done to help music. There's a ton of bands that are only still doing their thing because of the direct access and cutting out the record labels.
Fuck Cobain. that shotgun was the best thing to ever happen to the Foo Fighters.
This grundgey dude that was a bad singer who Courty Love killed. Don't bother looking her up either. Blowing his brains out is proabaly the best thing she ever did.
For a while, Tom Delonge would leave the band and do stuff. One time for a few years, he joined up with some engineers and such to pursue finding alien artifacts and reverse-engineering them. Imagine seeing Tom in a business suit. I watched a video of his presentation on it.
But at least we are back to all the small things. See what I did there?
You'd be surprised by some of the lightweight 20 gauges that actually have more recoil than a heavier 12 gauge.
Another interesting controversy in the retro video game community was Map 21 of Doom 2. The map is called Nirvana and when it starts the very first thing you see is a shotgun pickup directly in front of you. Also, Doom 2 was released worldwide only a few months after Cobain killed himself. Coincidence?
