Dave Grohl has spoken out about his contribution to Nirvana.
The Foo Fighters frontman insisted that all three members had an impact of Nirvana’s sound, not just Kurt Cobain. Speaking on the issue, he said:
“I was actually Nirvana’s fifth drummer and if you listen to the recordings with the previous guys you will notice it sounds different…Krist Novoselic and I have been called sidemen to Kurt for fucking years – that lawsuit is done with, y’know?
I started playing in bands as a teenager, not a career option, but as a way to find weed and not have to work. When Nirvana became popular it was unexpected – no one thought that would happen to our band.”

Papoose has been dropped by Jive Records.
The much sought after rapper was signed in 2006 on a reported $1.5m deal but since that time has been frustrated and it finally led to his release this year. On the issue, Kay Slay [his associate and famous battle instigating DJ] said:
“We have officially gotten our release from Jive fuckin records. It was like a fuckin year of hell… Unfortunately, we almost became victims of A&R hell….Free at last, free at last. We got our release from Jive Records, and we’re just moving on.”
When asked about what was next for him and Papoose, he remained tight lipped, but it is hoped his album The Nacirema Dream will be released before the year is out.
