KURT COBAIN 'Loved' METALLICA, 'Detested' AXL ROSE

August 20, 2008

ANI reports that NIRVANA frontman Kurt Cobain really "detested" GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose, according to record business eminence Danny Goldberg.

In his memoir, "Bumping Into Geniuses", Goldberg has revealed that when Rose asked to meet Cobain backstage after a show, Kurt refused.

"Rose had the kind of macho rock persona that Kurt detested," the New Daily News quoted Goldberg, as stating in the book.

Even Cobain's wife, Courtney Love, was not keen on getting to know Rose's then-girlfriend, Victoria's Secret model Stephanie Seymour. After another show, Seymour asked Love, "Are you a model?" Snapped Courtney: "Are you a brain surgeon?"

Promoters tried to launch a tour with NIRVANA, METALLICA and GUNS N' ROSES. "There was a lot of money on the table," says Goldberg. "Kurt really liked METALLICA." But there wasn't enough money in the world to get him to share a stage with that other band. Cobain passed.
