Cobain widow Love blocks release of Nirvana song
Reuters
Jun 29 2001 7:25PM

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Kurt Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, has obtained an injunction blocking the release of a Nirvana song recorded just months before Cobain's suicide, according to court papers.
But a lawyer for Nirvana's surviving band members held out hope Friday that a box set containing "a lot of new content" could be salvaged for October release with or without the new song.

The album was planned as a 10th anniversary commemoration of the release of "Nevermind," Nirvana's 1991 disc that pushed Michael Jackson off the top of the record charts and started the "grunge" music revolution in Seattle.

"It's a work in progress," attorney Warren Rheaume told Reuters. Talks about the new album are continuing, he added, saying, "Hopefully everybody can come up with something that can be put out."

Whether the set contains the unreleased song "You Know You're Right" remains in doubt. People who have heard the January 1994 studio recording of the song agree it could be a big hit.

A 45-second cut from a live version of the song can be heard on the band's fan club Internet site. It is a bootleg recording from an Oct. 23, 1993, concert in Chicago featuring the angst-ridden Cobain vocal backed by bassist Krist Novoselic's wall of bass guitar and the slashing drums of Dave Grohl.

The song was to have been included in the box set but Love, complaining she did not have any say in the album, blocked the release with the injunction, granted in King County Superior Court in Seattle June 11.

TAPES DUE FOR DELIVERY

Tapes for the album were due for delivery Saturday.

The song is part of a contractual battle over Nirvana music, a fight that pits Love, the flamboyant actress and lead singer of the band "Hole", against Grohl and Novoselic.

Rumors of a studio recording of "You Know You're Right" have been swirling since Cobain shot himself and died in his Seattle home on April 5, 1994. Love performed the song with Hole two years after the suicide.

A trial in the dispute, which could mean millions of dollars to the winning side, is scheduled for September 2002.

Nirvana fans have come down heavily on the side of the band members in the dispute. A poll on the fan club Web site shows 76 percent supporting Grohl and Novoselic, with just 6 percent on Love's side.

Everyone in the dispute agrees the song, with an introduction of "I don't need to love again/I won't sigh and mope again/I don't need to love again", would be a fitting final chapter of Nirvana's legacy.

"The fight is over control of Nirvana," said Rheaume. The new album would contain "out-takes, other stuff, whatever makes sense," he added.

Love won a New York Film Critics acting award for her role in "The People vs. Larry Flint" in 1996 and had a starring role in "Man on the Moon" in 1998.

Love and the surviving band members formed a partnership three years after Cobain died.

But in the court filings, Love said she was "emotionally overwrought and distraught" when she signed the agreement, which splits proceeds from the band's assets equally among the three.

Love attorney, O. Yale Lewis, said the parties have agreed not to talk to the media.

Representatives from Nirvana's record company, Universal Music Group/Geffen, were unavailable for comment.

A lot of hardcore Nirvana fans already knew this but I guess this just makes it obvious to everyone else... she's despicable. Not much more to say, Kurt always treated Krist and Dave as equals... now they don't even count. Another article talked about how she wants full control of the music rights. Bitch!

Check out the Nick Broomfield documentary "Kurt & Courtney", which Love did everything in her power to block. It insinuated that she may have had something to do with Kurt's death, so the whorebag took Broomfield to court and had every bit of Nirvana music yanked from the film, and tried to stop it's release. She 'almost' rooned it. MTV had put up part of the $ for the film too, and that cash stopped after she called MTV and whined about it. It was still released, but only after her lawyers sucked Broomfield dry. There's no good music in it, but it's still a good doc, and is probably the best at showing what a cunt she really is.

What I don't get is why people are still hanging
on to this Nirvana legacy. I thought their last
album sucked shite and their unplugged stuff was
complete trash. Whenever 'unreleased material'
comes out, it's almost always going to suck b/c
that's the stuff that was chopped off the album in
the first place.

I agree, Courtney is a complete twat, but Dave
Grohl is a complete tool for playing in the Foo
Fighters b/c they sound like complete hacks now.
Krist Novaselic is the only smart one out of the
bunch for laying low.

Courtney is a skaky twat... I think if Dave & Krist want to release some lost Nirvana tracks, that's their business... Cuntney should keep the fuck away from it...she wasn't a part of the band...

Boodadude, that is exactly what I though of when I read this.

Cuntney Love has nothing to do with Nirvana. All she did was ride the coat tales and rip-off their style after Kurt killed himself. The money grubbing twat was cheating fucking everyone in sight anyway. It's just too bad Kurt didn't take a different route and make her life a living hell, instead of the other way around.

That talentless cunt Courtney, Grohl and Novoselic formed a company to split all Nirvana revenues equally. The cunt is also trying to break up that company so she can suck out even more money.

And Courtney killed Cobain.
