Kurt Donald Cobain was born on the 20th February 1967. As a child he was hyperactive so he was prescribed drugs to help him concentrate tho these drugs kept him awake until four am, so he was given sedatives to help him sleep. At the age of s stillsome his parents divorced, this left Kurt shy and ‘difficult to control. For this much of his young smell he lived with various family members, once he even lived with his school headmaster for a few months. He was to a fault homeless for some epoch. During this conviction he lived beneath a bridge. This period of his keep is reflected in the song ‘Sliver â€Å"Mom and dad went to the show, they dropped me at grandad Joes, I kicked and screamed, said please and please, oh Grandma postulate me home”.\r\nIn 1979 when Kurts dad joined a record club, this exposed Kurt t o legendary rock/ surface bands such as conduct Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Kiss. He also took an interest in British punk, peculiarly Sex Pistols and The Clash.\r\nOn Kurts fourteenth birthday he bought his eldest guitar and spent a lot of time trying to develop his own unique melodious style. He also spent much of his time going to concerts in Seattle and he was a roadie for a band c tout ensembleed ‘Melvins. Around this time Kurt went over to his conversancy Robert Novoselics house where he met Roberts br otherwise foldt, the future bass part guitar player for Nirvana.\r\nKrist Anthony Novoselic was born on May sixteenth part 1965 in Compton California. His parents were Croatian immigrants (Novoselic means ‘ unfermented settler in Croation). When Krist was younger he and his younger brother Robert enjoyed vandalism, slash tyres and throwing rocks at cars and houses.\r\nWhen he was fourteen his parents sent him to Croatia because they were worried about his dep ression, Krist enjoyed living in Croatia because there he started hearing different bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Sex Pistols and The Ramones. Eventually he was called home where he began to drink and smoke pot heavily.\r\nIt is not unquestionably known when Kurt and Kris began making medicinal drug, but they record the ‘Faecal Matter Demo” in 1982 at Kurts aunt Maris house. Kurt and Kris experimented with m whatever different drummers during this time they settled on Chad Channing, he was their drummer on their maiden phonograph album ‘Bleach and on their first single ‘ lamb Buzz (which was originally released by 1960s Dutch group ‘ stately Blue). He left the band soon by and by their first European tour.\r\nThen the lead vocalist of ‘Melvins introduced Kurt and Kris (by now calling themselves ‘Nirvana) to a drummer called David Grohl. Kurt and Kris were astounded at how good he was and nowa eld asked him to join them. He agreed. With Dave now behind the drums the legitimate hygienic of Nirvana was released.

It went to one hundred and forty-four on the album chart, but after an display on the MTV show ‘Headbangers Ball (MTV was the only music contribute that had alternative music, and this show in particular was one of the most popular MTV programs ever) and a live surgical operation on ‘Saturday Night Live, the album went straight to spell one despite competition from Michael Jackson.\r\nThis new album was revolution in music, and did what many other bands could not.

This album was a re deform to the old days of ‘Bleach (in fact many of the songs were supposed to be on ‘Bleach). The album was a success, in that it did what the band wanted, it did not sell as quickly as ‘Nevermind and many of their former followers stopped liking the band.\r\n magic spell on tour in Italy Kurt fell into a coma after a mixture of champagne and a prescripted medicine. This was afterwards revealed as an attempted suicide. When he woke up he asked for a milkshake and went gage home. Courtney threatened to divorce him if he did not soma out his drug problems so he went to a voluntary rehabil itation centre. A few days later he escaped (jumping over a wall) and went to his house (he said the centre was â€Å"A run for retards”). When Courtney found out he had left she did not know where he had gone. She cancelled his credit badger and expected him to phone her when he ran out of money. She also hired private investigator Tom let to track Kurt down.\r\nAbout a week later Kurts body was discovered in the greenhouse to a higher place the garage. After a police investigation they cogitate that he had taken a triple o.d. of heroin and then put the barrel of a shotgun in his mouth, before pulling the trigger.
