10 Years ago today, Kurt Cobain was found dead and the music world felt one of the biggest voids left in a long time.

Kurt and Nirvana turned the rock music scene on its ear and ushered in a sound, then referred to as "alternative", into the mainstream. So timeless was this sound that even today Nirvana's music can be played alongside the current artists putting out tunes and not seem to miss a beat.

Kurt's death was presumed a suicide, even though further investigation has shown otherwise was the case. Whether it was his soon-to-be ex-wife who orchestrated this heinous crime or someone else, may they be found out and brought to justice once and for all. Until then, his blood cries out from the grave.

i'm a big admirer of kurdt, but frankly i don't go in for conspiracy theories. the guy OD'd, let's leave him RIP now. we'll see him soon enough in the resurrection.

there is no evidence that it was ANYTHING OTHER THAN SUICIDE.

let the man rest in peace.

He didn't OD. He shot himself.

No prints were found on the gun nor were there any powder burns on his hands.

He also had enough heroin in him that it is unlikely that he would have been able to shoot himself even had he wanted to.

It was a botched case, plain and simple. I, for one, would like to see those responsible brought to justice.

He was also in the hospital a couple months prior to his death, for another suicide attempt. If there was any doubts that it was a legit suicide, I'm finding it hard to believe people like Dave Grohl wouldn't have pursued it.

the saddest thing i can think of regarding 10 years passing since cobain's suicide is the fact that i've aged 10 years in what seems like a year's time.

how does time fly by so quickly?

Considering he used a rifle, he wouldn't have powder burns on his hands. Most suicides of this nature are done by pulling the trigger with the toe, with the muzzle in the mouth. The conspiracy theory has been looked into by law enforcement officials outside of the Seattle police department, and was found to be an open and shut case of suicide. Oh, and the whole heroin thing is not really much of a factor. Kurt was a longtime user, and had quite a tolerance. Suicide is quite common amongst junkies. Add in the fact that the man had tried to commit suicide on three other occasions, wrote song called "I Hate Myself And I Want To Die", and was one of the most self destructive rock stars ever, and there really isn't much question.

Besides, I think its giving Courtney waaaaayy too much credit to attribute a murder plot to her. She has trouble dressing herself, much less orchestrating machivellien plots.

You got a point there.


R.I.P. Kurt. I really hope he's in peace. I can only imagine what more pain he would be going through if he could see what kind of life his daughter has with Courtney.

We watched Nirvana Unplugged last night. I remember watching that before he died, and thinking he had it all. I was sooooo shocked when he killed himself and I was VERY sad for weeks. It was the first time anyone close to me died. Honestly, his music touched me that much.

she gets "waaaaayy" to much credit for alot of stuff....like a certain debut a certain someone prolly ghost wrote .. .


but that said..shes fun to watch.

you'd think someone calling him or herself "bibleteacher" would know better than to bear false witness, and all that biblical jazz...

Actually, his daugher is living with his parents. We can be thankful for that.

Actually, it was a shotgun and that doesn't explain the no prints on the gun fact. Nor does it explain why there were no prints on the shell casings. Nor does it explain the no prints in the room fact. And there would have been powder burns, considereing the fact that he was wearing his Vans at the time. It was documented in the crime scene photos.

Mark Fuhrman could have done a better job on the forensics of this case. It was a convenient case to rule a suicide. They never even tried that hard to look at other options.

Also, one guy from this S & M band who made a public statement that he had been offered money to kill Kurt and turned it down, ended up fatally meeting up with a train a week or two later. I think you all underestimate the sick girl and what she and her ambition were capable of.
