Yeah, its the retroactive changes that really twist the knife in. What a slap in the face lol. You can tell that they all hated each other by the end. Just look at the body language in some of those interviews from 93 onwards. They look absolutely miserable. I imagine that Kurt could be a very difficult person to get along with sometimes.

Well at that point he’s married with a kid, ya know the wifey may have said something about it. Honestly if he wrote the song he gets 100% of the publishing for the words, and Nirvana splits the music end of the publishing 3 ways and Kurt gets paid again. So a publisher pays the artists with those two pies. Words Kurt Cobain 50% of the pie. Music by Nirvana 1/3 split of 50% So Kurt gets paid 66.6% and the other two get 16.6% each for the music. That’s how the business works.

Pertaining to the VMA beef between Nirvana and GnR, Ironically it was Duff Mcagan who was one of the last people to see Kurt alive and actually hung out before and during their flight back to Seattle after Kurt left rehab days before his suicide. Duff even admitted that he sensed something was wrong and regretted not reaching out to see if Kurt was ok. But as a recovering heroin addict myself its hard for me to believe that if Duff did offer to hang with Kurt and Kurt accepted, Im pretty sure they would've just ended up getting high lol. It would've probably stalled Kurt by a few days from doing the inevitable, but in the end, im sure Kurt would've still taken his own life.

@@NirvanaGuitars - I guess it could be tourette’s… The band kind of jokingly introduced that song as “The Eagle Has Landed” during the ‘92 Reading Festival, which was right before the VMA show… I wouldn’t be surprised if Kurt didn’t decide on a proper title for that song until they recorded the In Utero sessions. Its short length (under 2 mins) would also mean it could be squeezed in after R*pe Me and still come in under their allotted five minutes of air time. So, you could be right!
