柯本一向看不起枪炮与玫瑰主唱Alx Rose,觉得Rose总是很招摇(那个年代的长发*男美**又有几个不招摇?),还公开说过自己一年花的钱还不够Alx Rose几天的消费。
在那场音乐颁奖典礼(1992 MTV Music Awards)的后台,所有人都在用餐,只见Axl Rose带了五个人高马大的保镖趾高气昂的走了进来。经过Kurt Cobain和Courtney Love夫妻的餐桌时,Courtney Love冲着他嚷道:“Axl,Would you like to be our child’s godfather?”(你想当咱孩子干爹吗?),摆明了是在*戏调**他。当时Axl Rose毫不客气地对Kurt Cobain吼道:“Shut your Bitch up!”,Kurt Cobain转身笑着对Courtney Love说了句“Shut up bitch!”这番情景引得哄堂大笑,Axl Rose红着脸掉头走掉了。
这件事是Kurt Cobain在芬兰的一场演唱会透露的。然后在一次接受采访时,Kurt Cobain把 Guns n’ Roses的音乐说得一钱不值,得罪了不少枪花的歌迷。他们送给Kurt Cobain一个“Mr. No Brain”的称号,告诫他不许口无遮拦,凳以免树敌太多。
据说在这些冲突发生之前,Axl Rose反而是对Nirvana是很有好感的。Nirvana的“Never Mind”荣登销量排行榜冠军时,Axl Rose还发电报向Kurt Cobain表示祝贺,并头戴着写有Nirvana 字样的棒球帽出现在公开场合。
非常庆幸幸的是,枪花 Duff自传里提到在柯本去世之前几个月他们在去西雅图的飞机上碰到,还同病相怜的聊了很久呢,那时候矛盾已经化解了。

附带参考资料,涅槃鼓手戴夫格罗尔(Dave Grohl)说法:
"I remember that when Nevermind first came out, Axl Rose was a really big fan of us. Guns N’ Roses was about to do this massive stadium tour with Metallica, and they wanted us to open. So Axl had been calling Kurt nonstop. One day we’re walking through an airport and Kurt says, "Fuck. Axl Rose won’t stop calling me." I think it represented something bigger. Nirvana didn’t want to turn into Guns N’ Roses. So Kurt started talking shit in interviews, and then Axl started talking back. It went back and forth like tenth-grade bullshit. Then we got to the awards and our trailers were all in the same one hundred yards. And Courtney was there, which never makes anything easier. So it didn’t take much to blow up into a full-fiedged showdown. Kurt and Courtney were screaming at Axl. Axl screamed back. It was all just soap-opera bullshit. Krist, our bass player, almost got in a fistfight. I was just the drummer, so I shouted some loud, funny shit and hit the bar.”
翻译:
我记得《Nevermind》刚发行的时候,Axl Rose是我们的一名狂热粉丝。Guns N’ Roses当时正准备和Metallica一起进行一次大规模的体育场巡演,他们想让我们开演唱会。于是Axl一直在给Kurt打电话。有一天我们在机场走着,Kurt说:“该死,Axl Rose不停地给我打电话。”我觉得这代表了更大的事情。Nirvana不想变成Guns N’ Roses。于是Kurt在采访中开始放狠话,Axl则回应。就像十年级时的无聊小把戏一样,来回拉锯。然后到了颁奖典礼,我们的拖车都在一百码的范围内,Courtney也在那里,这从来不会让事情变得容易。所以,没有多少东西能让我们真的大吵一架。Kurt和Courtney在冲着Axl大喊大叫,Axl也回敬。这都是些肥皂剧般的无聊事。我们的贝斯手Krist差点打起来。我只是鼓手,所以我喊了几句有趣的话,拍了拍酒吧。”
总结一下他的意思:
1.Axl的狂热“追求”遭到了Kurt的嫌弃。
2.Kurt的沟通能力你们懂的。
3.Courtney就是一疱疹,沾上就倒霉。
4.我没想到Krist的智商也那么低。
5.我当时就是一屌丝胳膊拧不过大腿。
Kurt的脑回路真的有点可爱啊。Axl有点可怜………
Dave的性格确实早晚得离开这一圈儿,他太正常了………
