Although the tragic circumstances of Kurt Cobains suicide are well known, the facts of his lifeand the influence of his artistryremain largely unexamined. Now veteran music journalist Charles R. Cross fuses his intimate knowledge of the Seattle music scene with his deep compassion for his subject in this extraordinary story of artistic brilliance and the pain that extinguished it. Based on more than 400 interviews; four years of research; exclusive access to Cobains unpublished diaries; and a wealth of documentation, Heavier Than Heaven traces Cobains life from his early days in a double-wide trailer outside of Aberdeen, Washington, to his rise to fame, success, and the adulation of a generation. Cross reveals the familial turmoil that fueled Cobains creativity, the generational history that forged his character, and the unusual love story that shaped his relationship with wife Courtney Love. Drawing from medical and police reports, and Cobains own private writings, Cross also reveals the truth about Cobains health struggles and his tragic final days. More than the history of a rock and roll star, Heavier Than Heaven is a portrait of creative genius and the will to turn pain into art.

Charles R.Cross是个很不爱谈论音乐的音乐传记作者。去年读他写的《满是镜子的房间》时就对这一点很有意见,前不久 为了写稿又读了此人写Kurt Cobain的《Heavier Than Heaven》,后者的絮叨程度还要更上一层楼,它令我觉得这个人不仅仅 是不懂、不关心音乐,而且他根本不喜欢Ku...

评分近些年,越来越多的音乐类/音乐人物传记类书籍在内地有了简体中文版译本,真是令人欣慰的好事。但可惜的是,大多数这类书籍的中译本都存在着翻译错误多、校对流于形式的问题,令人特别痛心。当得知入选《Blender》杂志“史上最伟大40本摇滚说书籍”的Kurt Cobain传记《Heavier ...
评分 评分Every Cobain stan should get their hands on this revealing book and learn that your messiah was just another product of the record industry.
虽然我不DJ他 但这本书我有感觉了。。
评分比起《灿烂涅槃》,更推荐这本bio。灿烂把kurt刻画成了一个全能的光芒万丈的摇滚巨星,而本书,从k儿时埋下的阴影,到青年时所遭遇,到感情失意、滥用药物、胃病、名利场斗争,全方位详细解读透析了这样一个敏感脆弱又对人类充满爱与同情的人。没什么,凡人而已,过目不忘而已,总是看到自己而已。我会铭记你,第八、九、十个年头了。
评分在他面前,灿烂涅槃算个鸡巴。 2018/4/30 上次读是7年前,那时候的我还在听核,屁都不懂,也没经历过生死离别。这次读,发现很多之前读不懂的东西都看懂了,从Sub Pop到Dylan Carson到Melvins到与Courtney的爱情以及Kurt的自杀书,很多东西都能感同身受,总觉得有股不知名的力量在引导着我,因为我也没有因为这本书去专门了解这些相关的知识,而是这七年里各种机缘巧合(因为听泥浆所以开始关注the Melvins,然后在Psycho 看过the Melvins和Earth,去西雅图参观过Sub Pop总部)才了解到的
评分好无聊啊
评分他死的那天我哭了~虽然我年纪还小, 后来看six feet under, nate说: he is too pure for this world. 我又哭了..
