What does the song Silver by Nirvana mean?
I think it has something to do with Kurt's parents going out for the weekend and him having to go to his grandparents for the weekend. He talks about his dinner and what he done there and starts to scream (my favourite bit) GRANDMA TAKE ME HOME - so he obviously didn't like it there =)

Did Kurt cobain have aspergers?
Yes he did I believe. People with Aspergers are very creative, talented, and always think optimistically from other people around them. So Kurt thought the same way as many kids with this syndrome do.

There is no information available for this specific question as it doesn't appear to have been a question that he was asked during his lifetime
Tracing influences is often highly speculative. Everybody has been influenced by the Beatles, and the Beatles were influenced by Chuck Berry among others. However, Nirvana, the originator of the "grunge" genre, is thought to have been influenced by both heavy metal, of which Black Sabbath is probably the primary source, and punk, of which the Sex Pistols were the most influential (although we should probably mention the Clash as well). But there could have been a hundred other influences as well. Artists are influenced by lots of other artists.
What is the famous saying of Kurt Cobain?
"Its better to burn out than fade away." This is actually a Neil Young lyric that Cobain quoted in his suicide note.

What did Kurt cobain wrote before he died?
this is what Kurt cobain wrote in what is said to be his suicide note...
To Boddah
Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton who obviously would rather be an emasculated, infantile complain-ee. This note should be pretty easy to understand.
All the warnings from the punk rock 101 courses over the years, since my first introduction to the, shall we say, ethics involved with independence and the embracement of your community has proven to be very true. I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music along with reading and writing for too many years now. I feel guilty beyond words about these things.
For example when we're back stage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowds begins., it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddy Mercury, who seemed to love, relish in the the love and adoration from the crowd which is something I totally admire and envy. The fact is, I can't fool you, any one of you. It simply isn't fair to you or me. The worst crime I can think of would be to rip people off by faking it and pretending as if I'm having 100% fun. Sometimes I feel as if I should have a punch-in time clock before I walk out on stage. I've tried everything within my power to appreciate it (and I do,God, believe me I do, but it's not enough). I appreciate the fact that I and we have affected and entertained a lot of people. It must be one of those narcissists who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the enthusiasms I once had as a child.
On our last 3 tours, I've had a much better appreciation for all the people I've known personally, and as fans of our music, but I still can't get over the frustration, the guilt and empathy I have for everyone. There's good in all of us and I think I simply love people too much, so much that it makes me feel too ... sad. The sad little, sensitive, unappreciative, Pisces, Jesus man! Why don't you just enjoy it? I don't know!
I have a goddess of a wife who sweats ambition and empathy and a daughter who reminds me too much of what I used to be, full of love and joy, kissing every person she meets because everyone is good and will do her no harm. And that terrifies me to the point to where I can barely function. I can't stand the thought of Frances becoming the miserable, self-destructive, death rocker that I've become.
I have it good, very good, and I'm grateful, but since the age of seven, I've become hateful towards all humans in general. Only because it seems so easy for people to get along that have empathy. Only because I love and feel sorry for people too much I guess.
Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters and concern during the past years. I'm too much of an erratic, moody baby! I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away.
Peace, love, empathy.
Kurt Cobain

What year did Kurt cobain kill himself?
Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, took his life on April 5, 1994.
He put a shotgun to the roof of his mouth, after injecting large quantities of heroin and pulled the trigger. However there are many theories surrounding his death, the vast majority of which claim Courtney Love to have killed him.
Technically, he did play right-handed guitars, but not in the conventional right-handed way. He would, as Jimi Hendrix did and I myself must do sometimes, re-strung the guitars to have the strings in left-handed order, effectively playing the guitar upside-down. This was before he got any real money to buy a good left-handed guitar, as they are often substantially more expensive than their right-handed counterparts, even if the same model.

Is nirvana getting back together?
Sorry man, Kurt is dead.
He killed himself or was murdered or something in 1994.
So, the answer is no. Kurt wrote pretty much all of the band's songs, without him, first off, there would be no singer, and second, it just wouldn't be the same. I know Dave sings and plays guitar and such, but I'm pretty sure Novoselic is done.
It's very sad.

What was the cost of nirvana's album nevermind when released?
The album Nevermind was released in September 1991. To date, this album has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.
Kurt Cobain was (and still is) one of the most popular rockers in the world. His band, Nirvana, existed from 1987-94, and some of their records, specifically their 1991 breakthrough effort Nevermind and their darker, more complex In Uteroalbum (1993) have become very well known and have sold in amounts of multi-platnium. He was married to fellow rocker Courtney Love and both of them had a child together, daughter Frances Bean (b. 1992). Some of Cobain's musical influences included underground grunge bands like the Vaselines and the Meat Puppets. He is said to have committed suicide in 1994. However, there is a great amount of evidence to suggest that he was murdered, particularly the fact that he had three times the lethal dose of heroin in his system, rendering him incapable of also shooting himself. He was 27 years old.
