Courtney Love hated Dave Grohl for being a "cool kid."

Most people would find that description of him as a very favorable and flattering description but she meant it to be insulting.

[@keymaster430]

You know? Nirvan was my favorite band back in high school. I had the same blue hat with the yellow Nirvana that Axl used to wear. I was at an age where, when Guns n Roses biggest accomplishment (AFD) had already reached it's peak, I guess I thought of Guns as being an older band and I was trying to get into the modern music. The "Grunge" music.Though, some of the timeless songs (Paradise City, Welcome To The Jungle, and Sweet Child Of Mine) were still playing on the radio occasionally. And I liked them. It's funny that you don't realize you LOVED a song/band until 30 years later. Then, they came out with "Use You're Illusion" and it had a few gems on it (November Rain, Don't Cry, and Knockin On Heaven's Door). So they were always there in the background. They'd already accomplished stardom, so to me they just seemed not like, "Oldies", but what we now call "classic rock" I wasn't as into them as much as I was with Nirvana. I graduated in 96'. So, hopefully some people reading that are 41 also will know what I'm talking about. You CAN be a fan of more than one band. it isn't the NFL. Music isn't about who's better. Now when I hear the opening riff to to "Sweet Child O' Mine", I stop dead in my tracks and just.....enjoy. Same feeling when I hear Kurt (RIP) screaming, "...With the lights out, it's less dangerous ! Here we are now, entertain us!". Why does it make me feel guilty? It really shouldn't. I wanna point out that both Kurt and Axl BOTH were pioneers and paved the way for a lot of other bands. So if this makes me "Fuckin' Crazy", then....."All Apologies"!

Similar story for me, I was introduced to GNR back in 89. Initially didn't like what I heard but like all really great music it gets at you slowly and once it has you, your hooked forever. I never looked at them as glam rockers at all at the time. To me this was different something much deeper and less mainstream which I guess was a reason for my early resistance. Thats why when nirvana came along it was like a natural fit and from a distance as a kid I didn't see a lot of difference in them. There has to me always been people who won't listen to something because it's not cool, too popular or mainstream. They think they are cool and individual but really they are just sheep in a different paddock.

[@bestboutgaming3212]

Kurt criticized everything, Axl was furious at everything. Nirvana wasn't very educated on GNR sadly, they didn't recognized how rebellious Guns was to the scene. In fact GNR gave the industry more trouble than Nirvana, it's common knowledge the label could barely control Axl. Also worth noting both bands were on that same label.

You’re referring to pop music as “today’s music” as though it’s all there is, but most good music doesn’t make it to pop radio and nobody with actual taste in music should rely on pop culture to provide good new music. A lot of people act like there’s no good music anymore when the truth is that their favorite stuff isn’t on the radio and you have to actually search for things you like. Complaining about pop music just means your musical horizon isn’t very broad and you expect others to figure out your taste for you.

[@MikeyCyan]

It’s pretty simple. Most of the issue was that Kurt didn’t like what Axl stood for. Axl was originally a fan of nirvana, he just started reciprocating eventually. Dave is kind of a fence sitter, so without Kurt there to get him to take a stance, he folded. “a fucking sexist and a racist and a homophobe, and you can’t be on his side and be on our side. I’m sorry that I have to divide this up like this, but it’s something you can’t ignore. And besides they can’t write good music.”- Kurt

After a Strat, the ES335s are my favorite guitars. I've been repairing guitars for almost 20 years and have been fortunate to have held and played 50s and 60s Stats, Les Pauls, 335s…all the greats. Players and guitar geeks are always talking about how great the 50s Les Paul bursts sound and play, and how you can't reproduce their tone with a new guitar, justifiably. But you don't hear about how unique the vintage ES335s sound when compared with later ones , and the differences are MUCH more noticeable, due to the semi-acoustic construction. The same thing goes for the talk about the original PAFs from the late 50s, and while they do sound great in Les Pauls, they truly sound like they were specifically intended for the 335; running through a slightly pushed JTM 45, or a Tweed…🤤 Someone giving you an early 60s ES335 as a thank you is insane.

The truth is Courtney said those that things about "hey axl do you wanna be the godfather to our daughter?" . So Courtney made it first.

[@dennisjr77]

Duff has admitted to knowing Chris Cornell and Kim thadyil from Soundgarden, he didn’t know Kurt or kris!!

[@nelliesilvers1210]

Yeah..it was definitely Courtney that yelled out the Godfather shit. As I said above, Axl had every right to go off over it considering what he and his wife were going through. It was a shit move on Love's part as she wouldn't give a fuck about Axl's situation...c@#t of a move on her part actually

[@midasiscariot]

Kurt and Krist were never from Seattle. They spent the 80s living in Aberdeen and then in Olympia. Stop lying.

[@autumnwind1216]

GNR is my favorite band of all time but I respect Kurt's reasons for not wanting to work with Axl. He was a piece of shit but hes mellowed quite a bit now that hes in his late 50s.

[@naughtymonkey1563]

The audio from the MTV awards when Nirvana were on stage,. with Dave going "Hi Axl. Hi Axl! HI AXL!!" is beyond funny xD

[@chrisridenhour]

It's interesting how GnR escaped the hair metal extinction event known as Grunge. I guess they were kind of in their own category, hard rock American band.

[@lightninghopkins4014]

I was at the NO on 9 show just a few nights after the VMAs and Kurt and Krist told the whole story to the crowd. They seemed sort of proud of the fact that they had picked a fight with Axl. A G&R fan from the crowd was shouting something at Kurt, so Kurt had him brought up on stage and gave him the mic. The guy said something like everyone should just get along and rock out. Kurt was nice to the guy, but after he left the stage Kurt said "It's true we should all just love one another. Kris? I love you." and then Kurt and Kris sarcastically kissed. It was super awkward but pretty funny, I thought. Also it was a LBGT benefit show basically, and it fit the theme of the whole night (BTW Jello Biafra Rant FTW), so somehow it was poignant and showed that Kurt could be pretty unshy on stage. But the reality of it all was that the guy from the crowd was right. Axl may have represented the worst things about hair metal to all of us wannabe punk rock dorks that day, and he probably deserved to be made fun of just because he was a reported misogynist, and I may have made fun of "welcome to the jungle" almost everyday of my teenage life, but the rest of the hairband guys were no different than us. Just a bunch of angsty drugged up drunk arrogant kids, rocking out to sabbath, trying to get laid. Anyways if you want to hear the version Kurt told that night, just find the bootleg of that show on youtube, and look for: 1:06:22 Kurt and Krist talks about the previous day at MTV Music Awards 1:08:34 "Say it brother" 1:10:07 Kurt and Krist kiss Sorry for the length of this but I just hope people who are just here for the "Tea" might see this and understand that the Nirvana vs G&R drama was funny but useless. I'm with Dave on this one. Slash and Duff, those guys are very talented.

[@nelliesilvers1210]

Izzy Stradlin was a great part of Gn'R aswell but Duff and Slash were definitely the major success of the band. My idolisation of Slash had me teaching myself guitar at a young age and by 11-12, I knew every song off Appetite for Destruction on my guitar spot on. Well....dad taught me around 5 but Slash got me interested in heavier riffs👌🏻.

[@midasiscariot]

Very interesting info, but labelling GnR as "hair metal" is just plain stupid.

[@lightninghopkins4014]

@@midasiscariot well that's the problem with labels I'm sorry if I offended and I agree with you but I am not the first person to call them hair metal.

[@midasiscariot]

@@lightninghopkins4014 No need to apolgize. They're just not even a metal band.

[@lightninghopkins4014]

@@midasiscariot well that's interesting I guess I mean you could say a lot of bands that are called metal are really just rock and roll bands but when GNR first came out everyone including me put them in a category which was basically a metal band from LA with big hair. Now later on you might be like well they didn't even have big hair but look at the first few videos that came out that were played on MTV and honestly they look a lot like Motley snake (hairspray confirmed). Now remember also that there was about 200 bands on MTV at the time who you all look the same and basically play the same sort of music and almost all of them were from LA and almost all of them had big hair so the term hair metal was born but yeah I would say most of those bands weren't really metal as we Define it today. I think this is very similar actually 2 calling every Seattle band grunge. Being somebody from the Northwest I can tell you that not a single person that played in a band in Seattle wanted to be called a grunge band but it happened. GNR is a great bunch of musicians who played a unique style of rock and roll that still if you hear even 12 seconds of a song you know it's them. So to categorize them based on their first few videos is just a terrible idea and so my 18 year old self apologizes for for making fun of them based on how they look, it has nothing to do with the music they made and the fact that people loved their songs. Again what I'm trying to say is there is no genres in my mind anymore it's just good music and bad music. I think Kurt would have come to that conclusion sometime in his life if he would have had time to grow older and wiser. IMHO Kurt and Axl had more in common then they realized and they probably should have been friends. If the stories I've heard are true then the most of that is Kurt's fault because he tried so hard to remain an outsider even when he was basically the most popular kid in the country. But to be fair Axel wasn't the most likeable guy in the world back then, the spousal abuse,, the lyrics to one in a million,, etc.. even people in his own band didn't like him enough to stick around right? PS slash is one of my fav guitar players ever, I think he's a genius, right up there with page, beck, and clapton. Also I was terribly saddened when Izzy left the band because I think his songwriting was also genius, sensible combination of many styles and influences similar to mine.

[@randik8621]

Dave Grohl can be hypocrital at times on numerous levels, and you obviously didn't research this in an unbiased manner. Do a search for audio tapes that exist of words exchanged between the men themselves when cameras weren't present and recorded label reprentation would find it hard to push any legalities on public liable, slander or defamation of any sort. Both were misquoted in the media by representation since they had to share a label. If you listen the men, from their own mouths, it was regarding opposing views and actions regarding women, homophibua and abuse. A direct threat was even made on one occession. That's all for people to hear. As I said, please research it and add the audio as an addendum if you want to be impartial in the name of music history. I don't have a KZbin channel, so I have no agenda. I'm not trying to direct your subscribers attention to anyone else's videos. I'm simply referring you to facts as opposed to heresy. Also, one has a documented history of domestic violence. The other was charged with it, but the charges were dropped when the supposed victim admitted to self-inflicted wounds and actually getting physical with him instead. He didn't hurt her in return. There are police reports to back that up as well. I'm not stating names here to be as impartial as possible because music study is a very interesting thing. If you want to present factual content, however, it would be wise to fact check yourself without prejudice. All the best to you...

[@wewho1279]

"YOU GET NOTHING FOR NOTHING IF THAT'S WHAT YOU DO/ TURN AROUND BITCH I GOT A USE FOR YOU/ BESIDES... YOU AIN'T GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO/ AND I'M BORED." That is the song DAVE managed to proudly and loudly perform with his gunners idols. It figures. No further, Your Honor ;)

Kurt was repulsed by fame, he didn’t care about pleasing the fans. I don’t think Dave wanted fans necessarily, he didn’t NEED fame, but he appreciates his fan base and does want to please them.

[@elimanning6520]

Kurt was a fool

[@midasiscariot]

It's such total bollocks. Kurt loved the idea of being a rockstar. He clearly spent years growing up, dreaming about being the new Robert Plant. If he didn't want fame, why did he bother? God, you dimwits are so naive.

[@paochoua]

If Kurt was still alive, he and Axl would be best friends. Kurt hated Axl because he was so similar to Axl.

[@mitchelvalentino1569]

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. The only things they had in common were being in a band and having a penis.

Kurt hates there band. They were a hair band and he hated that shit

[@johnulcer]

Kurt didn't hate Axl. I watched a documentary made by BBC when I lived in England years ago and they interviewed Kurt's ex. She said he was obsessed with Appetite. I think Kurt resented how big they became because he was a prototype hipster. And he was probably conflicted over it - he probably liked Appetite before GnR got big and then hated them because of how big they got, because they were an easy target.

[@aaronwhite6437]

Kurt had this mindset where he felt like he had to be anti everything that was mainstream. And Guns at the time was about as mainstream as you can get. Kurt also thought most 70s and 80s rock was racist/sexist/and or homophobic. As a SJW he'd love Twitter if he were alive today.
