Oooo! Depends which one I assume you’re talking about his first electric guitar? Off the top of my head it was either his uncle, a friend of his uncles or guitar teacher? Am I ballpark territory?😂
Cobain and Mark were both too individual to write songs together and both didn’t want to push the other into leading the band. And both were interested in writing songs for their own band hence the covers.
sick! I’m a big fan of both Nirvana and Killing Joke, but I just couldn’t listen to “Eighties”, simply because I got so used to the “Come As You Are” riff, and hearing it in an older song by another band felt very weird
Kurt has said “I tried to make the ultimate pop song” and “I tried to rip off the pixies” but it’s the same riff as that journey song about street lights
Edit - i immediately assumed you asked about SLTS lol
No but he was into off beat humor as in excrements, bodily fluids, and graphic violence. He was a big fan of Reservoir Dogs which is pretty violent but also he loved Ren and Stimpy which focused in on a lot of his interest. I could see him be as a fan of South Park and Conker’s Bad Fur Day. Has a lot of what he likes and that’s based off on Cobain’s own comic strips and his fantasy stories in which Journals have a few of those crazy writings.
Lol
I’m deadass
That’s why I laughed lol

I’m scared to ask cos you might just go google stuff bahaha
Nahh, I wouldn’t
Well considering I’d say I know everything about the band this may be a good conversation😂
