They group started in 1987 with Cobain and Novoselic. The band changed drummers several times before Grohl joined them in 1990. Throughout their seven-year run, Nirvana produced three studio albums \u2014 Bleach<\/em> (1989), Nevermind<\/em> (1991), and In Utero<\/em> (1993).<\/p>\n

Nirvana’s frontman, Cobain, was praised for writing lyrics that captured the ennui and bottled-up rage of the generation. Novoselic<\/a> and Grohl were the perfect foil for his in-your-face manic gloom. In 1994, Cobain lost the battle with his demons and ended up killing himself.<\/p>\n

Cobain’s tragic death<\/a> may have prematurely ended the band’s run, but the songs he wrote is his lasting legacy to the music industry.<\/p>\n

Cobain later admitted that he had “fantasies of killing his classmates.<\/em>” However, he clarified, “I fantasized about it, but I would have always opted to kill myself first.<\/em>”<\/p>\n
