QUOTES

KURT COBAIN

• "All drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with your self-esteem... they're a waste of time." (well isnt that some ironic shit right there...)
• "I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal - a different attitude."
• "I'm disgusted with my own apathy too, for being spineless and not always standing up against racism, sexism and all those other -isms the counterculture has been whining about for years."
• "We're just a new band that seems to be making it, and people might get bored of us pretty quickly. It's really weird seing yuppies dancing to our songs."
• "The sickening politics that are involved with being a successful commercial rock band are really aggravating. No one has any idea."
• "I knew that when I had a child I'd be overwhelmed, and it's true. I can't tell you how much my attitude has changed since we've got Frances. Holding my baby is the best drug in the world"
• "The intensity, the aggression, the hatred. You could just hear a lead singer scream at the top of his lungs. I felt that way. I wanted to smash things."
• "We've never cared much for professionalism as long as the energy was there. Like our live shows: We're out of tune and use a lot of feedback. But that's not on purpose or because we don't care"
• "Ever since the beginning of rock and roll, there's been an Axl Rose. And it's just boring. It's totally boring to me."
• "It upset me that we were attracting the people that a lot of my music has a reaction against"
• "At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favour for us - leave us the fuck alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records."
• "Wearing a dress shows I can be as feminine as I want. I'm a heterosexual... big deal, but if I was a homosexual, it wouldn't matter, either."
• "A big "fuck you" to those of you who have the audacity to claim that I'm so naive and stupid that I would allow myself to be taken advantage of and manipulated."
• "I know that most of you out there like us, understand what we're trying to say, but as for the rest of you, I FUCKING HATE YOU!! "
• "VANDALISM: Beautiful as a rock in a cop's face."
• "Grunge is dead."
• "We're so trendy we can't even escape ourselves."
• "I just want you people to know that Courtney Love, lead singer of the sensational pop group Hole, is the best fuck in the world."
• "Strap on your geetars!"
• "Punk rock should mean freedom, playing whatever you want,
• "Music is first, lyrics are secondary."
• "My name is Kurt and I sing and play the guitar and I'm a walking, talking bacterial infection."
• "I'm changing my name to numchuck bitch."
• "If your a sexist, racist, homophobe or basically an arsehole don't buy this CD, I don't care if you like me, I hate you!"

KRIST NOVOSELIC

• "I'm here to impeach a president and kill a soap opera stars."
• "I don't want to play the rock-n-roll pundit. I don't wanna be the guy who has something to say on every issue and play every benefit, 'cause that just isn't right. I'm just a bass player in a band."
• "There's a lot of rap music and rock music that's just bullshit, it's just sexist crap, but you have to tolerate it. That's the price of freedom of speech--you place your ideals above your feelings."
• "Look, it's a giant Hollywood cigarette full of all sorts of
• "Flower sniffin, kitty pettin, baby kissin, Corporate rock whores."
• "We're going on tour this year and we're gonna have a whole new set with whole new songs so that we don't ever have to play Smells Like Teen Spirit again. I mean it's a great song but for many people it's like the only Nirvana song and that's upsetting" - Krist and Dave

DAVE GROHL

• "We weren´t the resurrection of Christ. We were just another fuckin´ rock band."
• "All I really had was a suitcase and my drums anyway, so I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work. It did."
• "My father said to me "I know why you guys've sold so many records - the video shows a buncha kids trashing a gymnasium!" and I mean, that sorta works - like, "Nirvana! Spokesmen of the lost generation! They're telling you to go out and destroy your local gymnasium!"
• "It's not some technical, masturbatory, 'see-what-I-can-do?' record."
• "Dick is short for Richard, and Rich is short for Richard too. So rich people are dicks"
• "The name of our band is pronounced "Nir-vah-nah", not "Nir-van-na" -
