Kurt Cobain: Anything But A. Rose
A new tell-all book set to hit the shelves in September tells how Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose hated each other so much they couldn’t even bare to be in the same room together!!
Danny Goldberg, music business manager , also previously vice-president of Led Zeppelin’s Swan Song Records, talks candidly about the pair in his new book entitled ‘Bumping Into Geniuses: My Life Inside The Rock And Roll Business’.
He writes:
“Rose had the kind of macho rock persona that Kurt detested.”
Goldberg said he witnessed these events himself and describes once how when Axl asked to meet Cobain after one of his shows, the Nirvana front-men slipped off, not so politely refusing the offer.
In the book he suggests that Cobain even turned down an offer of a GunsN’Roses/Nirvana/Metallica joint tour, which would have probably made all parties very rich and famous indeed, solely due to his dislike of Axl Rose.
And it seems like Cobain and Roses’ better halves had somewhat of a disdain for each other too. Goldberg tells in his book how Cobain’s wife, Courtney Love had little or no time for Axl’s girlfriend at the time Stephanie Seymour, a Victoria Secret Model.
He reports that once after a show, Seymour asked Love, “Are you a model?” Snapped Courtney: “Are you a brain surgeon?“. The slanging match didn’t end there – after a war of words between the two, Rose allegedly told Cobain:
“Shut your bitch up or I’ll knock her to the pavement.”
Danny Goldberg’s new book is due out on September 18th and could make for very interesting read.
