In an interview with Fuse.tv, former Hole guitarist and co-founder Eric Erlandson claimed that Kurt Cobain was working on new material around the time of his death. Comparing the solo work to the Beatles' classic White Album, Erlandson spoke about the direction of the rumored demos.

"That's really what he was going towards, a solo album but working with different people," said Erlandson. "I got to see him play it in front of me."

Erlandson also mentioned a cover among the demos, admitting, "I won't say what it is. I don't own the stuff. I just hope that one day it will be released for fans."

Although rare Nirvana demos have been released before, like 2004's box set With the Lights Out, the existence of a possible Cobain solo album is unconfirmed outside Erlandson's claim. Erlandson recently released the book Letters to Kurt, and he reunited with the original Hole lineup for a reunion show last week.

Kurt Cobain's image rights now owned by daughter Frances Bean, not Courtney Love

Over-Under on a final Courtney meltdown? A month?

I saw Hole about two years ago and she was awesome. She's a talented singer and a true rockstar. I hope that she doesn't have a meltdown and can make peace with her daughter and the surviving members of Nirvana. Life's too short.

Nirvana is one of my favorite bands! They are SO amazing

Kurt may have not been the best guitar player or singer but he was a DAMN good song writer

Also obligatory In Utero > Nevermind

I think that he was a great singer. As for ranking him as a guitarist, it depends what you are using as your criteria. Maybe he wasn't technically the best player, but his soloing fit the type of music he was writing, and he was one hell of a songwriter.

As much as I like In Utero, I like Nevermind better, by just a inch.

I think Kurt Cobain as a Lyricist may have admired the PHM-album,,hence the nirvana lyric from teen spirit "... I, confess, for, fear, you, ,best........."

for it seems that being a popular musician one is often careful about word choice,due to regard ********************************
