Best Answer

Cobain and Novoselic knew each other in high school, and three years after meeting they formed a band with drummer Bob McFadden. This project only lasted a month or so. Afterwards in 1987 Cobain and Novoselic recruited Aaron Burckhard on drums, and this was the first lineup of the band that used the name "Nirvana." The famous lineup of Cobain, Novoselic, and Grohl didn't happen until late 1990.
