Your all dead ass wrong saying they weren't friends. Yeah the fame put wedges between them, but Dave saying Kurts handwritten letter to him calling them "brothers" showed they were just strained. Or Kurt apologizing to Dave after almost ODing in Rome. None of us were there, but there's more proof to them being brothers then them hating eachother.

I remember reading a story online in the late 90s by his sister who said that when they would go out to the lake he would start screaming and she asked him what he was doing and he said "stretching out my vocal chords" :) I wish I could find all of those storys again, the internet was a bit smaller back then and you could actually find his relatives and what they wrote about him online.

Kurt didnt like him at the end either (i dont think what courtney said was true, like, he was officialy kicked out of the band, but Kurt couldnt stand him anymore for some reason. On the other hand, (and thats the only thing i have against Kurt) Kurt suddenly became a dick about the money issue. Out of the blue, after ALL those years, months before his death he went up to Novoselic and Grohl, and said they had only the right to gain 25% of the money, and he alone 75 because he wrote the lyrics. And for SOME reason (though i cant prove it) this was that bitch talking in his ear... Or maybe kurt turned suddenly into a dick, though i dont think so because otherwise he would have said this way before that.

Eddie Vedder doesn't sing like he used to in the 90s and I guarantee you this is why. Cobain 100% would have either done a nirvana album that bombed, toned it way back to the acoustic sound he was moving towards, or stopped making music until he could see a professional. I respect what Dave is saying in that it was unique enough that he didn't need a coach at the time, but there is zero sustainability in that. Best evidence? Despite Nirvana's success, I'm positive that Dave Grohl sees a vocal coach for the foo fighters; hence why he's still banging it out in his 40s just fine

Liam Watson Billie Joe Armstrong did vocal training when he did the American Idiot musical on Broadway. It helped him tremendously, you can hear the difference in his singing.

Guys, as much as certain singers have natural raw talent, even the best eventually need vocal warm-ups. There's no doubt that if Kurt had kept singing the way he did (if he had lived), he would have wrecked it by 33. I myself used to avoid warm-ups and would try belting Nirvana songs and it resulted in vocal fold nodules. Once I started warm-ups, my voice would recover much faster from a belting session. So someone of Kurt's caliber would probably have benefitted from them.

A great singer. When he wasn’t screaming, he had the voice of a man 20 or 30 years older, who’d lived a life that that voice reflected, and old rock’n’ roller

I think this kind of information is cool and all, but could interviewers quit reminding him of his dead friend every day?

There are people who talk shit about Kurt's singing voice, but you don't have to have a lot of technical ability in the classic sense if your singing style is memorably distinctive. Jimi Hendrix wasn't a "great" singer, but no one has ever complained about his voice either. What Kurt lacked in a set of pipes he made up for in spirit.

He was no Michael Jackson, Ronnie James Dio or Freddie Mercury. But those guys were no Kurt Cobain either. Kurt may not of been a flashy powerhouse vocalist to the likes of 80's rock, but he had a 4 octave range and fantastic relative pitch. It's not like he's out of key or anything, but he wasn't a practised and trained pop singer either but he didn't try to be! That's what people don't realise, objectively you can say what you want about him but anybody with a musical background can vouch that he was definitely a competent singer with loads of character and catchy hooks coming out his ears.

Yup, and it's apparent he did not get any vocal training. Now, no doubt Cobain had a unique voice, but it was more than his voice- it was the attitude and the music that led him. If he would have been alive today, he probably would not be able to sing at all- because his voice would have been completely ruined. There's no shame in doing vocal exercises- there's no shame in wanting to keep good voice hygene, so you can sing well into your 50's and 60's, and sometimes more. Look at Layne Staley and Chris Cornell- they both had vocal coaches, which only enhanced their amazing natural abillities. *of course, it is also important to get the right training...there are many people out there, calling themselves voice coaches, and know nothing about the voice, or how to develop it.

Nirvana was my favourite band growing up, and I always loved Kurt’s voice and expression, but I was strictly talking from the technique place- It doesn’t matter how good your voice is, if you use it every day for singing and shouting for a couple of hours on stage, if you don’t use it correctly, you will put it at risk of injuries, and possibly permanent damage.
