Dave Grohl has always been a bit reluctant to play songs from Nirvana, even though he’s essentially reunited with Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear onstage numerous times now in support of his Sound City documentary. However, it turns out that they came pretty close to pulling out a Nirvana tune for The Sound City Players’ [...]

Tonight (12) is the Concert for Sandy Relief at New York’s Madison Square Garden. And it’s going to have one of the strangest lineups in recent history, namely Sir Paul McCartney playing with the remainder of Nirvana.

By now, everyone knows that Kurt Cobain is an unlockable character in Guitar Hero 5, which has led to some pretty ridiculous videos, and probably a couple of sprained fingers for Courtney Love due to her Twitter barrage. Remaining Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic even got in on the action, asking Activision Blizzard to limit [...]

There’s nothing creepier/funnier than watching Kurt Cobain sing songs that he wouldn’t be caught dead listening to on Guitar Hero 5, where the deceased Nirvana frontman is an unlockable character. However, Courtney Love doesn’t feel the same way. While it was initially reported that she was an active participant in the creation of her ex-husband’s [...]
