Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Nirvana came out of nowhere in 1991 to sell nearly five million copies of their landmark album "Nevermind, whose thunderous sound and indelible melodies embodied all the confusion, frustration, and passion of the emerging Generation X. "Come As You Are is the close-up, intimate story of Nirvana — the "only book with exclusive in-depth interviews with bandmembers Kurt Cobain, Krist Noveselic, and Dave Grohl, as well as friends, relatives, former bandmembers, and associates — now updated to include a new final chapter detailing the last year of Kurt Cobain's life, before his tragic suicide in April 1994.

Review:

"Amazingly raw and candid... Come As You Are is as good as rock bios get" — Billboard.

Incredible bio! Kurt Cobain actually sought out Michael Azzerad for this bio. It tells the story of not only Kurt Cobain but also the Dave Grohl and Krist Novaselic as well as all their previous drummers! It is a must read. I gurantee that you'll read more than once. It is AMAZING!
By the time you finish reading you'll understand who kurt cobain was and what he really represented. You'll understand Cobain's relationship with his fellow member and you'll be able to understand how Courtney love ruined it all. Kurt Cobain would still be here.
