SynopsisThe definitive biography of the revolutionary band Nirvana and its star-crossed frontman Kurt Cobain, hailed by Rolling Stone as "the first [book] to comprehensively tell the band's tale from Aberdeen, Wash., to world domination" "Amazingly raw and candid . . . an unsparing and extremely honest depiction of the group's highly tumultuous history . . . Come As You Are is as good as rock bios get."-- Billboard "Just tell the truth. That'll be better than anything else that's been written about me."--Kurt Cobain Nirvana came out of nowhere in 1991 to sell nearly five million copies of their landmark album Nevermind , whose thunderous sound and indelible melodies embodied all the confusion, frustration, and passion of the emerging Generation X. Come As You Are is the close-up, intimate story of Nirvana--the only book with exclusive in-depth interviews with bandmembers Kurt Cobain, Krist Noveselic, and Dave Grohl, as well as friends, relatives, former bandmembers, and associates--now updated to include a final chapter detailing the last year of Kurt Cobain's life, before his tragic suicide in April 1994. Vivid, evocative, and thought-provoking, Come As You Are is an essential document not just for Nirvana fans but for anyone interested in the cultural legacy of the 1990s., Nirvana came out of nowhere in 1991 to sell nearly five million copies of their landmark album Nevermind , whose thunderous sound and indelible melodies embodied all the confusion, frustration, and passion of the emerging Generation X. Come As You Are is the close-up, intimate story of Nirvana -- the only book with exclusive in-depth interviews with bandmembers Kurt Cobain, Krist Noveselic, and Dave Grohl, as well as friends, relatives, former bandmembers, and associates -- now updated to include a new final chapter detailing the last year of Kurt Cobain's life, before his tragic suicide in April 1994.

    This book is a great representation of the band. Great stories, great pictures. I've enjoyed it since it was brand new when I was 14! Nice to re-visit it 20 years later

  • Nice Book

    This is my 4th Nirvana book. I just finished 3rd and started this one (so I can't speak to the content) , but from skimming, I absolutely love the book. This is the book that Kurdt had input on, so I'm expecting it to be different from the others.
