Kurt Cobain Action Figure, Kurt Cobain 7-inch Figure

Kurt Cobain 7-inch Action Figure. A modern icon presented for the first time as an action figure! Based on his appearance in the breakthrough "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video, Cobain comes with his guitar and a gymnasium floor base.

At the age of 14, Cobain was given his first guitar by his uncle. (Cobain was offered the choice of a guitar or a bicycle as a birthday gift, and chose the guitar.) Cobain started by learning a few covers, including AC/DC's "Back in Black" and The Cars' "My Best Friend's Girl". He soon began working on his own songs.

In high school, he often found himself without anyone to jam with, as none of his friends had any particular musical talent. Eventually, Cobain met Krist Novoselic, a fellow devotee of punk rock, who lived across from the Young Street bridge. Novoselic's mother owned a hair salon and they would practice on occasion in the upstairs room. A few years later, Cobain tried to convince Novoselic to form a band with him by lending him a copy of a home demo recorded by Cobain's earlier band, Fecal Matter. After months of prodding, Novoselic finally agreed to join Cobain, forming the beginnings of Nirvana.

During their first few years playing together, Novoselic and Cobain found themselves host to a rotating list of drummers. Eventually, the band settled on Chad Channing, with whom Nirvana recorded the album Bleach, released on Sub Pop Records in 1989. Cobain, however, became dissatisfied with Channing's style, leading the band to seek out a replacement, eventually settling on Dave Grohl. With Grohl, the band found their greatest success via their 1991 major-label debut, Nevermind.
