About this listen
“Amazingly raw and candid . . . Come As You Are is as good as rock bios get.”—Billboard
Nirvana came out of nowhere in 1991 to sell nearly five million copies of their landmark album Nevermind, whose thunderous sound and indelible melodies embodied all the confusion, frustration, and passion of the emerging Generation X.
Come As You Are is the close-up, intimate story of Nirvana—the only book with exclusive in-depth interviews with bandmembers Kurt Cobain, Krist Noveselic, and Dave Grohl, as well as friends, relatives, former bandmembers, and associates—now updated to include a final chapter detailing the last year of Kurt Cobain's life, before his tragic suicide in April 1994.
Critic Reviews
“Amazingly raw and candid . . . An unsparing and extremely honest depiction of the group’s highly tumultuous history . . . A wizardly combination of smart journalism and intelligent analysis, Come As You Are is as good as rock bios get.”—Billboard
“Really takes you inside both the business and soul of rock ’n’ roll, providing the lurid details and lucid pop criticism, too.”—Los Angeles Times
“Come As You Are is the first [book] to comprehensively tell the band’s tale from Aberdeen, Wash., to world domination.”—Rolling Stone

unfortunately the narrator delivers the story like he's a stand up comedian and I felt myself constantly waiting for a punchline that didn't come.

Wrong narrator
Michael Azerrad should narrate the whole book. Kurt Loder is not invested in the story and sounds like he’s reading the news.
The epilogue that is narrated by Azerrad is the best.

Great insight into a great band
This book gave a good insight into Nirvana, as is usually the case Curt is the central figure but there is enough from the Krist and Dave to to call it a band account. Well worth a listen. The last chapter is better narration than the rest of the book, but didn’t take away from the previous chapter’s.
