Was this picture taken in a mirror, or not? We can't work it out. At least Dave Grohl knows where to look; Krist Novoselic appears more interested in showing off his scarf, and Kurt Cobain is taking no part in the process whatsoever. What none of the trio who made up Nirvana could have known at the time is that everything from the way they dressed to the way they played was about to change guitar music forever.
Taken in Germany in 1991, this is the band on tour promoting their seminal album 'Nevermind', the record that made grunge a phenomenon and chased hair metal out of the charts. The photo reflects the style; moody, stark, and disorganized. It's difficult to imagine the Beatles attending a photoshoot in a public toilet, whereas with Nirvana, it just fits.
