What was Kurt cobain's pant size?
I don't think anybody knows this. We all know that Kurt Cobain was never very heavy though, and was actually ashamed that he was very thin for his height and looked small (remember that it was rare in public/concert for him to be seen shirtless, or with short sleeves and tight clothes). I believe his weight was around 130-140 pounds at almost 5'10, so I'd imagine his pant size would be smaller than normal....
Did Kurt cobain write songs for hole?
Probably not. I say 'probably' because it could be possible that Cobain did a lot of work with her on the songs and influenced her to edit and change many of them. Actually, this is quite possible, since her best CD "Live Through This" was released/made when Courtney was with Kurt. Not to say that she isn't talented, but Kurt was extremely musical and had amazing abilities to fine-tune songs. He was an artist. And Courtney probably used him for editing/advice on her music, maybe to even write a few lyrics. But no, I wouldn't go as far to say, 'Kurt wrote the entire album and she's a liar'. There's definitely Courtney in that particular album.

Why did Kurt Cobain kill himself?
His marriage was in shambles (he and Courtney Love were probably going to get a divorce). He was tired of Nirvana, tired of being famous. He also was suffering extreme health problems for his stomach, which often left him doubled over in pain for days. All were a dangerous combination that led to him commit suicide.
Answer: Nirvana is the state of eternal happiness. Eternal happiness could be achieved by giving up worldly desires for things such as food and clothes and follow the Eightfold Path.
Answer: Nirvana is the state (not a place) of being free from both suffering and the cycle of rebirth. It is an important concept to Buddhists and Jains. Nirvana is a Sanskrit word. It means "to cease blowing" or "extinguishing" implying that passions and desires are non-existent or "unbinding" implying that the mind is free.
Along with freedom from physical needs, there is an implication that the is no attachment to maintaining a separate existence of self.
Answer: Nirvana is recognition of the world as it is, without the bewilderment of the 3 ignorances.
1. When taking a body a person decides to be in that body. 2. There is now a separate self with separate experience and a unique mind. However, we are also part of the unity of awareness without the differentiation of a person. and without the object awareness of a person in a body. This ambivilant condition causes confusion. 3. In a constant attempt to resolve our confusion we assign meaning and importance and create our view of the world around us. We then wrongly assign our creation to others. These three ignorances taken together create bewilderment. It is this bewilderment that produces Samsara. Samsara is just what is from a bewildered view. Without bewilderment Samsara is Nirvana

What are the instruments played by nirvana?
Kurt Cobain - Guitar
Dave Grohl - Drums
Krist Novoselic - Bass
Pat Smear - Additional Guitar on Tour
Cobain played both guitar parts for all of the albums and just recorded each separately until the addition of guitarist Pat Smear from 1993-1994, after the release of In Utero. Pat never played on an album and it's unsure if he would have written with them had Kurt not died.
Is Mark Greaney from JJ72 gay?
We generally do not speculate about an artist's sexuality. Unless he has commented about it somewhere (and it does not seem he ever did), we cannot tell you whether Mark is gay or straight. I do enclose a link to a fascinating 2010 interview with him, but while he discusses the bands he was in and his experiences playing rock, he does not discuss his love life.

Nirvana began planning Nevermind in early 1990. The recording of the actual album started after record labels were provided with demos occurred during May and June 1991.
Was the drummer in The Killers also in Nirvana?
No, at least I don't think so. From the time Nirvana ran (1986-1994), apart from the Nirvana we all know, which consisted of Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Ghrol, they only consisted of the following members (which may or may not have been members of The Killers as far as I know-- I'm not a fan): Aaron Burckhard (drums, 1987-1988), Dale Crover (drums, 1988-1990), Dave Foster (drums, 1988), Chad Channing (drums, 1988-1990), Jason Everman (guitar, 1989), and Dan Peters (drums, 1990). I hope this has answered your question. Thanks for your time. ~ Leisure Suit Larry
