Nirvana Companion: 2 Decades of Commentary (Classic Rock Album Series)
Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
Nirvana was the first grunge-rock band to achieve international popularity. Their surprisingly melodic yet deafeningly loud sound behind stark and unsettling lyrics reflected a deep-seated sense of anger, alienation, and hopelessness regarding contemporary life and culture. Their success brought attention to Seattle as one of the most vital musical centers, inspired a fashion craze favoring dirty, baggy jeans, flannel shirts, and combat boots, and brought grunge rock to the forefront of our musical culture. This companion illuminates the already illustrious lives and careers of Superstars Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, Krist Novoselic and David Grohl.

Missing Kurt
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is an excellent book on Nirvana, and it is too sad that it is out-of-print. It contains important interviews and write-ups from several pop culture mags of that era on the band--on performances--on their overall views...Does this signal that Kurt was right: Grunge is dead?Well, perhaps dead but not yet interred into the earth.
Surprisingly good

Yeah, yeah, it's really lame to buy a book about them and all, but this isn't just another stupid ripoff fan book- this is really good stuff. It's funny. It's sad. It gives Courtney a chance to look less evil- I changed my mind about her because of this book. And it's not just about Kurt like most Nirvana books are- there's a good amount of stuff on Krist and the various drummers as well. Serious Nirvana fans really need to read this.
Best Nirvana Book That I Know Of
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
There are a lot of crappy books out there about Nirvana, but this isn't one of them. Contains some of the most revelent articles and nirvana related material. Very interesting and a must have if you are a Nirana nut like me. :)
