Live Through This: American Rock Music in the Nineties - Softcover

Live Through This is the inside story of the grunge phenomenon, that began in Seattle, found its peak with Nirvana, and took over the alternative rock scene around the world. The book features exclusive interviews with members of Nirvana, Hole, and Soundgarden among others, alongside tour managers, crew and even nannies - many of whom have refused to go on record since Cobain's tragic suicide in 1994. The author, Everett True, was a frequent house guest of Kurt and Courtney's in Seattle and the only journalist allowed within the house at the time of Kurt's death, or invited (by Courtney Love) to the funeral. True's style of writing and often controversial opinions will be well known to readers of Melody Maker. His recollections of excess, shared passionate love of music and grunge's personalities make for rollercoaster reading.

Everett True was the man who introduced Kurt Cobain to Courtney Love; he was also friends with many of the other band members from the grunge scene in the nineties. Live Through This is not a conventional history, it's Everett True's fascinating insider's account of the grunge scene, all written in his own unique style, and including some rare photographs and exclusive interviews. The first and last word on grunge.
