Cobain on Cobain: Interviews and Encounters (9) (Musicians in The

The most extensive and complete portrait of Kurt Cobain’s life as it unfolded
 
Cobain on Cobain places the reader at the key moments of Kurt Cobain’s rollercoaster life, telling the tale of Nirvana entirely through his words and those of his bandmates as they unleashed the whirlwind that would consume them for the last half of their five-year career. This is the most comprehensive compendium of interviews with the band ever released and each interview is another knot in a thread running from just after the recording of their first album Bleach to the band’s collapse in 1994 followed shortly by Cobain’s suicide. Interviews have been selected to provide definitive coverage of the events of those five years from as close to the key moments as possible, so that the reader can experience Cobain reacting to the circumstances of each tour, each new release, each public incident, all the way to the end. Including a huge number of interviews that have never before seen print, Cobain on Cobain will long remain the definitive source for anyone searching for Kurt Cobain’s version of his own story.
