Kurt's Fender Telecaster

Kurt's Fender Telecaster

This neck was once attached to Kurt's Japanese made Telecaster. Kurt had painted the front of the guitar's body with blue latex paint and etched out "Courtney" and the shape of a heart. The neck is now part of Recordmecca's impressive collection.

"This broken neck is from Kurt Cobain's blue telecaster from the Sao Paulo "Hollywood Rock Festival." I obtained it from Louie Mathieu, who was the Red Hot Chili Peppers' road manager (the Chili Peppers co-headlined the festival with Nirvana, and Louie picked up the neck off the stage when Kurt threw it towards the audience--obviously it didn't make it.) As you can see, it has bits of the blue paint Kurt used to paint the Tele on the sides. Anthony Kiedis of the Chili Peppers talks about Kurt smashing the guitar at the festival and Louie coming away with the neck in his book, "Scar Tissue."

From Louie of the RHCP
"As far as the body of the guitar goes I can't really recall think it was either snatched by the crowd as he threw it out there or remained strewn about the stage? He threw the neck out to the crowd as well but it landed kinda lamely in the no-man's land between the crowd and the stage. I jumped off stage to retrieve it and as I got back up on stage Courtney Love was walking by and I said "Hey, you forgot this" so as not to appear like an over-eager souvenir scavenger. She reached out for it and went "ugh, thanks". Cut to years later I'm at a show and I run into Jennifer from L7 and we're reminiscing about that time and those shows. I mention how much I regretted not having held onto that neck.
She turns to me and says: "I have it"
I say, "What are you kidding me!?!"
She says, "Not at all! Courtney left it in the corner of the dressing room and after taking it to Kurt's tech and determining that it was beyond repair; I took it home."
She then said I could have it back seeing as if it hadn't been for me it would have never been rescued."

Kurt Cobain quotes


A friend is nothing but a known enemy.
Kurt Cobain

Drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with with your self esteem.
Kurt Cobain

I bought a gun and chose drugs instead.
Kurt Cobain

I had a really good childhood up until I was nine, then a classic case of divorce really affected me.
Kurt Cobain

I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.
Kurt Cobain

I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn't.
Kurt Cobain

I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal, a different attitude.
Kurt Cobain

I won't eat anything green.
Kurt Cobain

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.
Kurt Cobain

I'm so happy because today I found my friends - they're in my head.
Kurt Cobain

I'm too busy acting like I'm not Naive. I've seen it all, I was here first.
Kurt Cobain

I've always had a problem with the average macho man - they've always been a threat to me.
Kurt Cobain

If it's illegal to rock and roll, throw my ass in jail!
Kurt Cobain

If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.
Kurt Cobain

If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to ask someone else first.
Kurt Cobain

It's okay to eat fish because they don't have any feelings.
Kurt Cobain

Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock.
Kurt Cobain

Rather be dead than cool.
Kurt Cobain

The duty of youth is to challenge corruption.
Kurt Cobain

The worst crime is faking it.
Kurt Cobain

Thought the sun is gone, I have a light.
Kurt Cobain

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.
Kurt Cobain

We have no right to express an opinion until we know all of the answers.
Kurt Cobain

We're so trendy we can't even escape ourselves.
Kurt Cobain

Boss Metal Zone (mt2)


For today’s post, I wanted to talk about the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone. I’ve seen this pedal on a few Pedal Line Friday submissions, so thought I would give it a closer look.  With the MT-2 Metal Zone, you have have a very high gain distortion pedal that can give you great metal tones.  The pedal also has a 3-Band EQ allowing you with some tonal options. The EQ will allow you to have a scooped mid tone or something with a meatier low end.
Here is the official pedal description by Boss:
The Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Effects Pedal offers precision control over tone. Dual-gain circuits scream with super-long sustain and seething distortion. A 3-band EQ includes High/Low shelving knobs plus a midband parametric EQ. The Boss MT-2 Metal Zone Effects Pedal has separate Level and Distortion knobs to put just the right amount of edge on your signal.
I also found a video via BOSSchannel that goes into detail of what this pedal can do:

Green Smoke - Electric Cigarette

Advantages of Smoking Green Smoke Electric Cigarette over Tobacco Cigarettes
Green Smoke™ allows you to breathe again. It contains no tar or carbon monoxide and does not emit the offensive odors commonly found in cigarette smoke. Green Smoke™ contains mainly water, nicotine and propylene glycol (a common additive in food coloring and cake mixes). The Green Smoke electric cigarette gives you your nicotine, together with the sensation of smoking a traditional cigarette – but it’s not a cigarette. Green Smoke™ is independently tested. For more information, see our certifications.


Green Smoke™ aspires to create a greener planet. We therefore offer an electric cigarette which has no second-hand smoke, no ash and no risk of fire. Each Green Smoke cartridge is comparable to about 20 cigarettes, yet produces much less waste. Green Smoke produces a smoke-like vapor (mostly steam) which is harmless to the ozone layer. Tobacco cigarette smoke contain many known chemicals, harmful not only our atmosphere, but also to everyone within breathing distance.


The Green Smoke™ electric cigarette is dramatically cost effective for smokers. A cartridge costs $3 and is comparable to a pack of tobacco cigarettes. Tobacco cigarettes cost an average of $5 per pack, and in some states, they are as high as $10 -$12. Over the course of a year you can save hundreds of dollars by switching to Green Smoke™. You can maintain your freedom to smoke almost anywhere while saving your greenbacks too.


Green Smoke™ truly is a social cigarette. With no offensive odors, your friends don't have to ask you to step out to smoke. When you Green Smoke, you can smoke almost anywhere you want... even in no smoking zones like bars, restaurants, coffee shops, bus stations and airports. The Green Smoke™ e-cigarette will not leave your home or car smelling like an ashtray, nor does it produce carbon monoxide. If you're a smoker, you owe it to yourself and all those around you to try Green Smoking!
