Nirvana fraud

According to The Sun newspaper, late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's estate has been defrauded out of a staggering £36 million since 2003.

Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, said the majority of the cash was taken out of a trust fund set up for the couple's daughter Frances Bean. She also claims the fraudsters even managed to use her late husband's cash to buy a $3.2 million (approximately £1.6 million) mansion in New Jersey.

"I did a check on my deceased husband's social security number and he has a house in New Brunswick, New Jersey," Love told the newspaper. "He bought it last year. I would like to know how! He should probably get his ass back home if that is the case."

Police are now investigating the case.

Nirvana are easily the most overrated band in music. I mean it really fucking pisses me off when you see 14 year olds in todays world with nirvana hoodies on. like they can fucking identify with a band when they probably hadnt even been concieved when the weak cunt called kurt blew his own brains out.

face it, they are only so talked about because he killed himself and hes dead. if he were still alive they would be just another band.


smells like teen spirit is fucking awful.and tbh, nirvana were one hit wonders.

FACT!

Wow, that is probably the most amount of utter crap i heard in a long time.
The fact that you said Nirvana were one hit wonders shows you complete ignorance and devalidates your entire opinion. Nirvana were about music, not pop charts! Nirvana were entirely against commercial success, and went out there way to not make commercially accessable music after Nevermind, (Cobain hated 'Teen Spirit' and that whole album)as did many other Grunge bands, such as Pearl Jam.
Despite this, such was there impact that without Nirvana there would be no alternative rock/ indie/ metal etc in pop culture today.
That is not opinion, that is FACT!
Before you complain and say everyone is entitled to their own opinion remember. All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic, argument and FACT than others.
Away you go and stop showing your ignorance.

an opinion is like an arsehole mate, everybody has one, so anyones opinion is neither right or wrong. sorry if i didnt post something you didnt agree with.

cobain wrote about hating himself and wanting to die when he was living a life most people would give their right arm (or shotgun) to have. fact is, cobain was a weak individual who couldnt handle the fame and he knew what he was getting into when he started his little piss poor band.

i stand by everything i said.

Hi. I'm 14. I have been listening to Nirvana for the past 2 or 3 years now. I was 1 when Kurt Cobain killed himself. True, I wasn't around when Grunge ws big, and I didn't even know who Nirvana were until I was about 11. So fucking what? Fuck you. Nirvana had a big effect on my life, I turned to them when my parents were divorcing, because like all them kids back in the ninties, I realted with their music. Nirvana weren't "one hit wonders." Yeah, so they only ever released a few albums? It's great that what they did make in their time was good so thair not selling themselves out now. I'm glad Kurt Cobain commited suicide and I understand why he did it. I'm not your usual "Kurt Cobain is so hot/omg Smells Like Teen spirit is so cool" kind of girl. I respect Nirvana because they had the ability to change peoples lives.

So fuck you. Rant over.

Fuck You Asshole

That is the most retarted comment I have ever heard in my entiire life. For some one to sit back and call a band like Nirvana over rated... is complete and utter shit. You think you can do any better? Pick up a guitar and proove it you piece of shit. Dont judge some one on something you cant do. and for the record, she killed him.

To Andymark:

Get a fucking life.

Nirvana are a staple in music culture because fo their music, NOT because of Kurt Cobains suicide. Yes, his suicide did make big news, but only because the band was so loved in the first place.

Who cares if 14 year olds wear Nirvana merch? As long as Nirvana means some-thing to them, who gives two shits?

Get a goddamn life, you dickhead.
Go moan to some-one who cares.


PS:
Whatever MF's are frauding in his name, I hope they get tortured. That's sick.

Well......

To andymark,

Would you rather the youth of today walked round in MCR hoodies.

I know I bloody well don't preffer it.

Long live the spirit of Nirvana,

Kurt Cobain is still one of the most underrated musicians of all time.

R.I.P- Legend

WHY??

Why o' fucking WHY does My Chemical Romance come into EVERY SINGLE piece of news or feature or even conversation in Kerrang!?

I am a big fan of theirs, but it does my fucking head in when some asshole (no offense Ewan) brings up MCR even if the topic has NOTHING to do with them!

Now some gay assed wemo will pop up and say 'OMG Gerard Way is SOO much hotter than Kurt Cobain!'

For fuck's sake get a life people, and keep this about Kurt.

OH Dear!

Andymark if you have a gun handy you might think about using it on yoursekf before the lynch mob finds you! It is sad to see some people base their opinions on nothing more than their own bitter empty thoughts than facts. I suggest that you research this and come to a more rational conclusion. There's plenty of material to use in your research.

"face it, they are only so talked about because he killed himself and hes dead. if he were still alive they would be just another band."

Does that comment go for all the music legends who killed themselves accidently or otherwise by overdose.

Andymark are you any relation to Kermit the Frog.
Muppet.

nirvana are the most bandwaggoned band ever. even more so than my chemical romance, talking of those, nirvana were that bad, they make mcr look like the beatles.

The poor bastard had it coming for him.

And why is it that whenever a Nirvana-related post is put up on this website, everyone goes on about Kurt Cobains suicide and shit like that. Get fucking over it! It was 14 fucking years ago!

And andymark, shut the fuck up. You're embarrasing yourself.

Hey andymark i'd like to see you deal with the ghost's that Kurt had! seriously! If he had as i heard (i'd like this confermed so if anyone has info on it please say!) bipolar disorder then he had loads of stuff to deal with!!!

If people looked beyond there own judgemental point of view they'd see that other peole have feelings too!

Anyway Nirvana rock!!! And no-one can take that away from them! Who cares whether they we're popular or not if you like music why hate it because it's popular?

NIRVANA KICK ASS!!!

hmm...

well, i love Nirvana, even tho i'm 15, and wasn't alive much when he was alive. But i don't care. their music is still played and is still amazing and they're still my favourite band. Who cares if i wasnt alive? I can still watch nirvana unplugged and their concerts on tape, etc. I think it's horrible someone is been frauding (great word). Yeah, kinda off subject, i don't think Kurt killed himself for various reasons. justiceforkurt.com or the 2 books by max wallace and Ian Halperlin explain why. on justice for kurt go on investigatiions, then reasons... Just if anyones interested... well byee! RIP Kurt xx
