LARS ULRICH: KURT COBAIN Didn't Want To Share The Stage With GUNS N' ROSES -
Apr. 1, 2004

On the eve of the 10-year anniversary of Kurt Cobain's passing, NME.com
has posted a short testimonial to NIRVANA penned by METALLICA drummer Lars
Ulrich. It reads as follows:

"In 1991 there was a kind of shift in rock music in America - it was
shifting away from all the hair bands in L.A. And with Kurt Cobain you felt
you were connecting to the real person, not to a perception of who he was -
you were not connecting to an image or a manufactured cut-out. You felt that
between you and him there was nothing - it was heart-to-heart. There are
very few people who have that ability.

"I never met him but our guitarist Kirk Hammett had a relationship with him.
We were doing this tour with GUNS N' ROSES in the US in 1992 and we wanted
NIRVANA to come out and join us. Kirk asked Kurt, but while Cobain said he
would play with METALLICA anywhere in the world, at any time, on any stage,
he would not step up on the same stage as GUNS N' ROSES - obviously he felt
that Axl was the antithesis to what he was.

"As I said, I never met Kurt, and he's probably the only guy in rock'n'roll
that I have never met that I really wanted to - other than Bon Scott maybe.
What a sad thing we can't hear the fourth NIRVANA album. It would have been
so great to be able to see how that would have evolved."

Yeah, and it would've been great to hear him call you out for being a greedy
corporate fuckwad after you started suing your fans. As for the fourth
Nirvana album, well......thank god for good marksmanship.

This has been well known for over a decade, how pathetic that NME.com is
trying to make it sound like they have something new.

earth, I respect that.

Fuck yeah. Dave Grohl has more talent than a thousand Kurt Cumstains.

Because they were good perhaps? Just a thought.

I agree with that he's a natural.

Saw the Foos on their last tour they were pretty good.

Hehe! Fortunately for him, I don't think I could get close enough to
smack him while he's wearing that spandex without retching. To quote Brian
on spandex, "It's bloody awful! It's like they stole their mother's shower
curtain and wrapped themselves up in it!"
