Cobain's early life.
Cobain's first guitar was an old beaten down one, from his uncle, but he still enjoyed it.
Kurt Cobain was born February 20, 1967. Cobain was born in Aberdeen, Washington. A talented, yet troubled teen, Cobain became a rock legend with his band Nirvana in the 1990's. Growing up in a small logging town, he showed much interest in music and art. He even excelled at drawing. Cobain also played baseball. Cobain had one younger sister named Kim. Both of the children had to constantly deal with both parents yelling at each other and their marriage became increasingly stormy. When Cobain was 9, his parent got a divorce. He lived with his father. When his father remarried Cobain resented his stepmother and her children. Cobain received a guitar from his uncle and it offered him a respite from his unhappiness at home. Cobain started experimenting with drugs at a young age and pushed himself farther away from his father.
