User blog:DundeeChronicler/Ideas Behind Kurt Cobain What If.

This is not a blog post in he normal sense of the term.This is just a place where i can, in regards to self reference, work on personal ideas regarding a Kurt Cobain Alternate History Timeline revolving around the obvious fact of Kurt Cobain not having died in April 1994 of a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

I have always been of the opinion that Cobain would have ended up becoming a bit of an isolated figure similar to Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys after a lengthy period of recuperation which involves the divorce of Courteney Love in mid 1996, his weaning off drugs as well as becoming a better father with Frances Bean Cobain. This involves, in my opinion a steady decline in alternative rock stemming from the breakup which i place in 1995 after a hiatus stemming from the short while spent in the rehabilitation centre. Pearl Jam star their boycott of a ticket company, Alice In Chains gradually disintegrate along with Soundgarden and Hole fuelled by the breakdown of a marriage fails to continue in the same way in terms of mainstream popularity. This leads to some sort of slow gradual shift in Rock music which i haven't envisagened yet.

Here is some of my concepts.

Nirvana break up in 1995.Kurt Loder of MTV breaks it in front of many teenagers.

Cobain divorces Love in 1996.

Dave Grohl forms Foo Fighters but under much different circumstances with it being less of a big thing. Similar to Layne Staleys post Alice In Chains band the Foo Fighters is only a fad and break up in 2002 after only a few songs of commercial interest.

Krist Novoselic maintains a music persona but only as a session musician with stints with several short bands as well as contributing to Pearl Jam and Soundgarden albums as a bit part player.Maintains an interest also through the setting up an independent record label promoting punk rock bands.

Nirvana 1987-1995.
