As flattering as it may seem to you for Axl to praise another artists music, Axl wasn't one of those people for Kurt. He despised some of the more sexist, homophobic, and racist lyrics (Specifically one in a million) that Axl himself penned down. I find it difficult to really fault Kurt in the sense of not having much admiration or respect for a person that held those beliefs, let alone criticizing and distancing himself from entirely. but on that same level, i feel for Axl because you can see he was really touched by Kurts music. He was a Nirvana fan, probably in the same way tons of Nirvana maniacs are, he probably heard Smells Like Teen Spirit and then just bought Nevermind, and then got Bleach and really loved it all and loved it so much wanted to meet and witness that brilliance on tour, and then that same guy that he gave shoutouts to, and donned their bands hat criticizes some personal, passionate beliefs Axl held at the time, it's complex, i can see how it would cause anger but i think maybe in time Axl understood and empathized himself how he might have come off to Kurt.

A band who hit their prime in 80/90s still has dedicated fan-base like you and me. In fact, the original line-up had already split up when I was born yet I still consider Guns N' Roses as one of the greatest if not the best band on planet earth in their prime. Each and every member was talented and nobody could replace nobody from the original line-up.

I know that Axl really did love Nirvana and It hurt his feelings that Kurt was so negative towards him. When a guy like Axl has his feelings hurt , the response isn't rational. It's not sorrow or disappointment (his ego wouldn't allow it.) It's anger. He lashed out from the humiliation of being rejected. We've all been there, it just wasn't broadcasted to the public. I will only mention this briefly because I Love Courtney and am NOT advocating hatred towards her. But she did think Axl was hot and mentioned it in her Behind the Music. The whole thing might be chalked down to Kurt being the jealous boyfriend / husband. Ultimately, I'm a huge fan of both bands. GnR surpassed the "hair metal" craze because they were better than Cherry Pie and Girls Girls Girls. And Nirvana was obviously the ones who kicked the door down for the 90s sound. There's no reason anyone couldn't love both bands, and I don't think Axl was wrong here. He turned to childish gestures later but I was happy to hear they all ultimately reconciled because the "feud" was pretty meaningless.

People were young, blood was boiling and we say things and stuff, and then one day, we grow out of it.

I understand a few lyrics but most just seems like random words thrown together. Even if it makes any sense I get distracted from the music because the way it comes out. Which in turn gives me no emotional connection. The same with a lot of bands. That's why music is great though it can touch anyone in different ways and that's why all hated bands have a following.

Yeah..... Kurt was just being a little shit head back then. For as brilliant as Kurt was, he had an irrational jealous streak in him for the longest time. I read that Kurt eventually changed his mind about GNR in the end, once it finally hit him how despite his best efforts, Nirvana had essentially become everything he hated about Guns N Roses too. He even had a few nice things to say about them too when he didn't have to. Guess he made peace with him. ..... Or, he just began regretting not letting Axl beat the hell out of Courtney one good time after all. Who knows? Seems the most rational scenario.

I was going to agree with you until you said that about Courtney. Dude, you may not like her, but that's fucked up. Kurt loved her, respect that, please.

I remember all this! I love Nirvana but Kurt really was just being ridiculous back then. Ever wondered why during interviews with the other grunge bands like Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, and Pearl Jam; they'd all tell stories about one another coming up in Seattle together? How they all knew, supported, and were close with each other? Ever noticed how Nirvana is never even mentioned by these other Seattle bands during those discussions despite also being signed to the Sub Pop label in Seattle like everyone else? That's because Kurt & Nirvana didn't like them either. Basically, Kurt just didn't like anyone who didn't play punk rock. Sure, Axl was at the apex of his insanity around that time also and deserved being put in his place by someone-- finally --but Kurt really had a vicious hatred for GNR when Axl was initially a huge fan who only wanted to help Nirvana as a fellow Geffen-label band. I know Axl always talked a lot about feeling very suicidal himself during the height of his fame in 1990-91, like Kurt eventually succumbed to, but Axl's situation always felt different. Like, Axl always seemed more built for carrying the mantle of 'rock star' on his shoulders whereas Kurt was completely crushed by it. Axl relished in the limelight. Axl's issues were completely confined to his troubled childhood, and not the pressures of fame, fortune, and the expectations to always produce increasingly brilliant art the way Kurt now was. Axl just got so big & powerful that no one dared step in and rein him in when it was most needed. Kurt's demise was due to him not being capable of enduring the status of 'rock star'. Axl's demise was a result of him abusing the status of 'rock star'.

In an interview from september 91, Kurt, when asked if he'd consider touring with Guns n' Roses, said they would do it, because "it's a ridiculous thing, it'd be funny, it'd be a thrill to play in front of so many people". In the same interview, he said "there are a few rock n' roll qualities Guns n' Roses that I kinda like". It's the only thing vaguely positive he said about them. It's an audio interview and it's up on youtube if people care to listen.It was just prior to the release of "Nevermind". Guns played "Teen Spirit" on the PA as part of the playlist before the show, even in 1992. They still liked the music. It's nice Kurt ran into Duff in early march 94 and things were cool between them, and I appreciate they all get along to an extent now.

Ok, having lived thru it (I was 22 in 1992) I can tell you that we listened to both bands, and the feud between them didn't matter. Of course, this was before every damn thing was immediately available via social media.

Hey thanks for compiling the histories of these two bands so well.. we got things to learn here. :)

With the comment at 5:29, I thought that Kurt declined Axl's request to even see him backstage, but then again, Courtney isn't the most honest person since she said Dave Grohl tried to pursue Frances as an adult and Frances herself debunked that rumor 😒

It's funny how they make fun of GnR for being "establishment corporate rock" when only a few years later Krist Novoselic would go into politics which is literally....the ESTABLISHMENT and Dave Grohl would start one of the most polished radio friendly bands on the planet

I think dave grohl is the classist rocker out there today. Hes been giving himself to all of us for 30 plus years. He has done so much for the older bands then anyone. Keeping them alive and relevant. I was just talking to my 6 year old grandson and 7 year old granddaughter this week about rock and roll explaining the differences between motley cruel, ac/dc nirvana, motor head and foo fighters. I think that's what's gonna keep Rock in roll around and relevant today ,tomorrow, and 50 years from now

wow that was real comprehensive there was so much more I didn't know, I was at that Toronto 92 show I remember Axl telling the stage hands not to put out the fire and that hat (thought it was a shirt) was on fire throughout November rain, it was so cool that Duff and Krist became friends The Foo Fighters were sort of holding that Rock N Roll torch for the longest time until Guns N Roses could get the band back together

I think ur right. I used to think axl was such an asshole but the more i go back and watch intwrviews and listen to what axl was saying, the more i realize hes very misunderstood, misquoted, and actually isnt an asshole. Hes very realistic and dare i say, a nice guy. He was offering to help nirvana. And lets face it, nirvana needed the help. Just because nirvavna sells albums doesnt make them good. Aaaaaaalllllll of the talent was grohl and everyone knows it. But we all know talent dont mean shit in the industry. It just so happens that every guns member ever is amazing at what they do. But yea, axl really just seems like he was always trying to be a nice guy even if shit wasnt cool. And as far as his attitude, if i was lucky enough to be in such an amazing band as gnr, id go around talking about how awesome we are too. He has every right. He IS the singer of the 2nd greatest rock band of all time. Sorry. You cant take Queen from the number one spot. Noone can. And im sure axls fine wit that. But yeaI would also definitely be talking all kinds of shit about how amazing my band is if my band was guns n' roses.

I think Kurt had every bit as much of an ego as Axl, GN’R were the top of the tree & were a target for ambitious Nirvana. It’s clear that being anti-corporate was a pose, a throwback to the same pose put on by punk bands. Nirvana were happy to play the game & make millions of dollars, undeniable. So it was purely Nirvana being competitive, that’s all it was.

Axl should have said that nobody hates Kurt Cobain,more than Kurt Cobain.That would be true indeed

It's interesting that Slash has come out in recent interviews naming the Foo Fighters as a band he enjoys listening to. But Dave Grohl is so likable, I'm not surprised.

"Just let music be music man"

"It's Nirvanna, it's a Nirvanna hat". Lol Canadas finest G n' R fans. The problem for both of these guys is, a lot of their fans liked each others bands. I wasn't one but just sayin. That's why half of these taunts are met with quiet or minimal cheers. They're looking around going well I like them both

There are no limits you can be a fan of whatever whenever you want. Don't let anyone tell you what to like or do

A quote comes to mind when I think of Nirvana *"Some people say I'm a hypocrite because I've got money now. When I was poor and complained about inequality people said I was bitter, now I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite.. I'm beginning to think they just don't want inequality on the agenda because it's a real problem that needs to be addressed"* -Russell Brand. I think Nirvana always had a anti-establishment punk ethos and it became increasingly difficult to deal with their success.. The G&R squabble is just a byproduct of that.

Nirvana signed to a major label (Geffen records), did the mtv awards, mtv unplugged and Saturday night live, only corporate rock bands do these things. Not being critical, just pointing this out.

Gotta say, I am a huge fan of both bands - and man, Axl spoke some mega truth - well said. Sad Kurt passed so early - they probably would have had a chance to make amends, Kurt probably would have apologized eventually, once he escaped Courtney's influence...Both bands rocked their decades like no other.

i do see axl’s problems with kurt and their differences but what axl said about kurt’s ‘junkie’ lifestyle and about how his baby will end up in prison is completely out of order and unacceptable because kurt had a lot of troubles dealing with himself let alone being a famous rockstar and so it was especially harsh towards kurt but kurt also said things which could’ve been very hurtful towards axl too

Axl didn't like the corporate rock landscape GnR was born into in the mid '80's, but felt he could rebel from within and signed with the next best pre-alternative label - Geffen. Kurt wasn't burdened by that paradigm in the least - he only knew he did not want Nirvana to sound like or repeat GnR's path by '90-1.

Nirvana did the old trick of the new kid walking into school, finding the toughest, coolest kid and smacking him round the head to assert themselves. They have such a mutual fan base - most every rock fan has been through a nirvana phase and a GNR phase. Duffs book is interesting - coming from punk rock Seattle he had a lot of ties to the alt scene there. He said he probably would’ve ended up in one of them had he not made the move to LA (which I can believe, duffs a great musician).
