I saw Nirvana in Portland, OR in 1992, one day after their feud with Axl Rose at the MTV VMAs in Los Angeles. Cobain told the audience the whole story about how Rose wanted to fight him. Cobain and Courtney Love wanted Rose to be the godfather of Francis Bean, but Rose just called Love a “bitch.” Cobain was funny and made the audience laugh.

Krist Novoselic also said that Duff Mckagan wanted to fight him, even though Duff was surrounded by body guards. Mckagan later admitted he was drunk and regretted this.

It’s true, Cobain dissed on GNR’s music a lot. Ironically, Axl Rose liked Nirvana’s music.
