Nirvana Bio
Kurt Cobain (guitar, vocals) and Chris Novoselic (bass) met in 1985 in Aberdeen, Washington, a small logging town located 100 miles from Seattle. Put together by the Melvins' Buzz Osbourne, the two shared an interest in punk rock and decided to form a band. The Stiff Woodies featured Cobain on drums, Novoselic on bass and a revolving cast of vocalists and guitarists. Eventually, they changed their name to Skid Row and Cobain became the lead vocalist and switched from drums to guitar. Skid Row featured drummer Aaron Burkhart, who left the band by the end of 1986 and was replaced by Chad Channing. Soon after, the group changed its name to Nirvana and recorded their first album, Bleach. It was released by Sub Pop records. A procession of fill-in drummers followed until they eventually hooked up with Dave Grohl.

Nirvana Quotes
"Punk rock should mean freedom, playing whatever you want, as sloppy as you want as long as it's good and it has passion." ~ Kurt Cobain
"You know what I hate about rock? I hate tie-dyed tee shirts. I wouldn't wear a tie-dyed tee shirt unless it was dyed with the urine of Phil Collins and the blood of Jerry Garcia." ~ Kurt Cobain
"All my life, I never believed most things I read in history books and a lot of things I learned in school. But now I've found I don't have the right to make a judgment on someone based on something I've read. I don't have the right to judge anything. That's the lesson I've learned." ~ Kurt Cobain
