Frances Bean Cobain Admits, 'I Don't Really Like Nirvana'

— -- Many people might expect Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain, to be the biggest Nirvana fan there is.

However, the visual artist said while she's heard her late father's music all her life, she's not a fan of it.

"I don't really like Nirvana that much," she told Rolling Stone. "I'm more into Mercury Rev, Oasis, Brian Jonestown Massacre The grunge scene is not what I'm interested in."

"But 'Territorial Pissings' is a f***ing great song. And 'Dumb' – I cry every time I hear that song," she added. "It's a stripped-down version of Kurt's perception of himself – of himself on drugs, off drugs, feeling inadequate to be titled the voice of a generation."

Cobain, 22, was just a year old when her father died but a new film, "Montage of Heck," has captured who he really was, she said. Before the documentary was made, she said she met with the writer/director Brett Morgen to discuss what it would be, something Cobain calls "emotional journalism."

"It's the closest thing to having Kurt tell his own story in his own words – by his own aesthetic, his own perception of the world," she explained. "For me, the film provided a lot more factual information about my father – not just tall tales that were misconstrued, misremembered, rehashed, retold 10 different ways. It was factual evidence of who my father was as a child, as a teenager, as a man, as a husband, as an artist. It explored every single aspect of who he was as a human being."

Today, Cobain said that she hears her dad in her own speaking voice, saying that it's "sort of similar to mine. It's sort of monotone." She also said his friends say they look and act alike.

"[His Nirvana bandmates] Dave [Grohl], Krist [Novoselic] and Pat [Smear] came over to a house where I was living. ...and they had what I call the 'K.C. Jeebies,' which is when they see me, they see Kurt. They look at me, and you can see they're looking at a ghost," she said. "They were all getting the K.C. Jeebies hardcore. Dave said, 'She is so much like Kurt.' They were all talking amongst themselves, rehashing old stories I'd heard a million times. I was sitting in a chair, chain-smoking, looking down like this [affects total boredom]. And they went, 'You are doing exactly what your father would have done.'"
