Nirvana

The Grundge band out of Seattle which was formed in 1987 by lead singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain, Bassist Krist Novoselic and the drummer who spent the longst time in the band is Dave Grohl. The band first struck big on their second albumn in 1991 "Nevermind" with songs like
"Smells like Teen spirit" or "Rape me" they steped out of the shaddows to full blown stardomn. Kurt Cobain was the leader of the group and thought of as the voice of his generation with some very deep and sometimes intense lyrics. The band was the biggest in the world in the early 90's, but lead singer Kurt Cobain was very uncomftorable with this new found status. which started some heavy drug use including the use of heroin heavily. In 1994 Cobains addiction running wild he was found dead after commiting suicide by shooting himself with a shot gun. This loss to the grundge scene was huge the biggest star of the scene gone but not forgotten. The band after the death split up Dave Grohl hit it big playing drums for Tom Petty and becoming the lead singer of rock/alternative band the Foo Fighters. Cobain was one of the best writers of the early 90's speaking the truth about corporate America and the negative parts of the world. He will always be thought of as the voice of generation X.
