Was Kurt Cobain murderd?

Asked by Wiki User

This is a highly debated issue. However, if you had read the Kurt Cobain Journals, you would know that he was a very depressed individual. He had also tried to commit suicide before, and had thought about it a lot. Through this information, my best assumption is that he did commit suicide. Evidence, though, can point to his death being a homicide. Before he died, he shot up on heroin. The amount of heroin in his bloodstream would've prevented him from pulling the trigger of the 20-gauge shotgun, let alone pick it up. People also believe that he was able to handle that much due to how much he took. Also, no fingerprint was found on the shotgun. The suicide note did not have only Cobain's handwriting.

no enough, he ended up killing himself if i recall. he had rights to 96% of the royalties of nirvana but im sure he split it all equally between krist and dave. he died with a mansion and a complete collection of guns, not so ironic but there. im sure he had much more than the average bear if that's what you mean.

Does Kurt Cobain believe in God?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There was a point in his teenage years when Kurt was tremendously religious. But he was more of an "agnostic". Kurt Cobain was baptized when he was 17.

In a way he believed in a God because in his journals he pleaded with God about his addictions.

his religions swayed more towards Buddhism and jainism, his suicide note states at the beginning: "dear budda"

Who did Kurt Cobain grow up with?

Asked by Wiki User

Kurt Cobain's family influenced him in a number of ways.

One I know of is that Kurt's parents divorced when Kurt was the age of 9 and I know it ruined him for the rest of his life and most of the anger he felt from that was out into his songs which he put on records and sold millions of copies too.

Also while reading 'Heavier than Heaven' I saw that a few of Kurt's Family members also attempted/comitted suicide.

From a very early age Kurt said he was going to

'Become a big rockstar like Jimi Hendrix and kill himself'

The effects of suicide in a family can be very influenced on the choices you make as you grow older..

I also know Frances and Courtney influenced him in a massive way.. For the love he felt for them two was more than anyone could ever imagine. And to me that is the biggest influence... Love.

According to the setlist for the show on March 1, 1994, the last song played was "Heart-Shaped Box" during the encore. Since this was the last show played by Nirvana, it can be assumed that this was the last song ever played live by Nirvana.

How old was Kurt Cobain when the band started?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Though he struggled with heroin use, he had admitted that marijuana was his favorite drug in an interview. Look up the song "Moist Vagina", aka "Marijuana", and guess from the chorus of the song whether or not this guy loved weed.

I'm pretty sure he drove a gray Volvo with a bald tire... I'm not 100% sure though...

he had a 1963 dodge valiant (beige) and a 1965 dodge dart, (sky blue)

besides the gray Volvo (which was used, and a 1986)

he had heard that that Volvo was the safest car....and was used primary for Frances. many sources state that Kurt drove very slowly, and "like a little old lady"

hard to believe , given his stage persona!
