Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, is breaking her silence on her father.
Cobain, who worked on the documentary about her father Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, surprisingly said she’s not a fan of Nirvana.
"I don't really like Nirvana that much [grins]. Sorry, promotional people, Universal. I'm more into Mercury Rev, Oasis, Brian Jonestown Massacre," she told Rolling Stone.
"The grunge scene is not what I'm interested in. But 'Territorial Pissings' is a f--king great song. And 'Dumb' -- I cry every time I hear that song. It's a stripped-down version of Kurt's perception of himself. Of himself on drugs, off drugs, feeling inadequate to be titled the voice of a generation."
She also described a meeting she had with his bandmates, who got really freaked out over how similar she is to her dad.
“They had what I call the K. C. Jeebies,’ which is when they see me, they see Kurt. They look at me, and you can see they're looking at a ghost,” saying they got them “hardcore.”
“Dave [Grohl] said, ‘She is so much like Kurt.’ They were all talking amongst themselves, rehashing old stories I'd heard a million times. I was sitting in a chair, chain-smoking, looking down like this [affects total boredom]. And they went, ‘You are doing exactly what your father would have done.’”
Frances Bean, who calls her late dad Kurt, also talked about the obsession with “dead musicians.”
“He's larger than life,” she said. “If Kurt had just been another guy who abandoned his family in the most awful way possible . . . But he wasn't. He inspired people to put him on a pedestal, to become St. Kurt.”
