 @kiwibonga12/01/2002 12:24:06AM | "I went to Australia and of course the stomach pain started immediately. We had to cancel a few shows because the pain left me immobile doubled up on the bathroom floor vomiting water and blood. I was liter-ally starving to death. My weight was down to about 110 lbs. I was taken to a doctor at the advice of my management who gave me physeptone. The pills seemed to work better than anything else Ive tried. A bit later on the tour I read the fine print on the bottle it read: “physeptone contains methadone.” Hooked again. We survived Japan but by that time opiates and touring had started to take their toll on my body. And I wasn’t in much better health than when I was off of drugs. I returned home to find that Courtney had gotten hooked again so we checked into a detox center for 2 weeks. She recovered. I instantly regained that familiar burning nausea and decided to either kill myself or stop the pain. I bought a gun but chose drugs instead. I stayed on heroine until one month before Frances due date. Again I checked into a detox center and went through 2 months of the slowest process I have ever witnessed in recovery 60 days of starvation and vomiting."
That's an excerpt from his diaries... I think that pretty much sums up his condition. He seemed to be a very persistent person but there's one thing blocking him from living a bearable life, it's his stomach condition... Here's the part of the book right after the part from the news article I quoted (It rocks! go buy the journals now!): "Hooked to an IV and moaning out loud with the worst stomach pain I have ever experienced. by the last 2 weeks I was introduced to a medicine called bubrenorphine which I found eleviates the pain within minutes. It has been used experimentally in a few detox centers for opiate and cocaine withdrawal. The best thing about it is that there are no known side effects. It acts as an opiate but doesn't get you high. I've been on an increasingly smaller dose of it for nine months and haven't had a single stomach episode since. The potency range of beprenorphine is that of a mild barbiturate on a scale of 1 to 10 its a 1 and heroine is a 10." That's how the page finishes... Looks like he found a cure to his stomach problems... His only life-threatening problem was eliminated, and he doesn't talk about it after in the book... Therefore I have no more explanation for his suicide! How frustrating! |
 MarkVega11/30/2002 11:55:00PM | Anybody actually has a clue why he snuffed himself? Drugs, the booze, the women? |
 +Hyena11/27/2002 06:31:01AM | You're right. Teen spirit actually has four chords. My bad. |
| Suppo 11/26/2002 06:48:29AM | Quoting Hyena: The same three chords over and over again. The same three chords? I'm thinking as hard as I can but I can't seem to figure out what you mean... *plays smells like teen spirit* |
| TheNintenGenius 11/14/2002 06:35:02PM | No, that's what killed Joey Ramone. Get it straight. |
| +Hyena 11/14/2002 07:25:49AM | Quoting TheNintenGenius: To me, without a doubt, Nirvana's still one of the best bands ever. Pity that Cobain had to kill himself (or get himself killed, or... ah, who the hell knows what really happened?). You know what really killed him? The same three chords over and over again. |
| Trasher 11/13/2002 08:22:14AM | Nintengenius likes River City Ransom. Therefore, I have come to the scientific conclusion that he has good taste. |
| TheNintenGenius 11/12/2002 07:12:19PM | Ah Courtney, the gold-digging crackwhore... the world would be a much better place if she'd just die already.
|
| Suppo 11/11/2002 06:21:58PM | Quoting Trasher: and proving that Courtney Love's a bitch. Yeah but we already knew that part. |
| Trasher 11/11/2002 12:16:48PM | Cobain shot himself. He wuz HARDK0RE!!1
But nasty jokes aside, Nirvana did some damn good stuff, like Smells Like Teen Spirit, I Do, and proving that Courtney Love's a bitch. |
| TheNintenGenius 10/26/2002 06:24:03PM | To me, without a doubt, Nirvana's still one of the best bands ever. Pity that Cobain had to kill himself (or get himself killed, or... ah, who the hell knows what really happened?). |
| Suppo 10/24/2002 11:54:28PM | *wonders who deserves the credit* |
| @kiwibonga 10/24/2002 12:09:17AM | If you read you'll juggle! |
| MarkVega 10/23/2002 04:49:26AM | Who wouldn't have heard of Smells like Teen Spirit?
Nirvana's great. |
 Yoshi Dude10/22/2002 11:35:35PM | Most moms seem to be like that.. haw haw. My mom still thinks his songs are awesome.. she's into new stuff too, although she says this is the worst music generation.. or something like that.
::listening to Nirvana right now:: |
| @kiwibonga 10/22/2002 08:36:12PM | *guilty conscience*
Thanks, Max :) |
| Max 10/22/2002 08:08:15PM | *First post made here*
First of all, Nirvana rules ^^ Second: This board rules! Looks great! |
| Suppo 10/22/2002 04:18:38PM | I never said you were... paranoid are we? What I meant was that I wouldn't respond to that post. The world has changed... But people change too... think about it |
| @kiwibonga 10/22/2002 10:24:26AM | Hey! I'm not on drugs. Period. |
| Suppo 10/22/2002 05:00:42AM | COUGHCOUGH.......
I won't even dare to reply to that... |
| @kiwibonga 10/22/2002 02:03:39AM | Wow cool! Your mom rocks!
All my childhood my mom kept telling me not to listen to that music with electric guitars... only people who are on drugs are supposed to :P The world has changed I guess :P |
| Yoshi Dude 10/22/2002 12:52:30AM | Heheh, my mom cried when he shot himself. |
| @kiwibonga 10/21/2002 11:19:46PM | It's Grunge, you nerds! |
| Colin 10/21/2002 11:03:43PM | I'd classify Nirvana more in the Alternative category myself... *shrugs* Probably Rock too. I was never a big fan, but I saw a lot of girls crying the day Cobain shot himself. :P |
| Yoshi Dude 10/21/2002 10:27:05PM | ..you never heard Nirvana? Oi.. you have been missing out.
Rock.. I guess.. I dunno.. o_O |
| Cymoro 10/21/2002 10:19:17PM | What kind of music?
Test: :) |
| Yoshi Dude 10/21/2002 10:10:48PM | Nirvana rules.. one of the best bands ever. Yey. |
