Photo Of The Kurt Cobain/Axl Rose Confrontation At The 1992 VMA’s
As per Erik Lievano’s FB post -
“The story behind this picture is legendary…. So in 1992 at the MTV VMA’s and I ran into Eric Clapton chatting with Annie Lennox backstage. I walked up to him and politely told him that my mom had named me after him after seeing Cream back in the day… So while chatting with Clapton and Annie Lennox, Axl Rose came walking up and famously tried to pick a fight with Kurt Cobain… I happened to have a camera in my pocket and snapped it as it unfolded… What’s out of the frame on the left is Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, Baby Frances, Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) all sitting at their table hanging out while Axl Rose is threatening Kurt… Annie Lennox said “what a wanker” about Axl and I believe that other than the camera man Axl Rose had with him in this photo filming, my picture is the only one ever produced publicly of this legendary confrontation…”
