I Found My Friends recreates the short and tempestuous times of Nirvana through the musicians and producers who played and interacted with the band. The guides for this trip didnt just watch the life of this legendary bandmdash;they lived it. Soulsby interviewed over 150 musicians from bands that played and toured with Nirvana; including well-known alternative and grunge bands like Dinosaur Jr.; The Dead Kennedys; and Butthole Surfers; as well as scores of smaller; but no less fascinating bands.In this groundbreaking look at a legendary band; readers will see a more personal history of Nirvana than ever before; including Nirvanas consideration of nearly a dozen previously unmentioned candidates for drummer before settling on David Grohl; a recounting of Nirvanas famously disastrous South American shows from never-before-heard sources on Brazilian and Argentine sides; and the man who hosted the first ever Nirvana gigs recollections of jamming with the band at that inaugural event.I Found My Friends relives Nirvanas meteoric rise from the days before the legend to through their increasingly damaged superstardom. More than twenty years after Kurt Cobains tragic death; Nick Soulsby removes the posthumous halo from the brow of Kurt Cobain and travels back through time to observe one of rock and rolllsquo;s most critical bands as no one has ever seen them before.

Although critics interpretations of different parts of the text differ; Stella Adlers insight came in very handy when I was preparing to play the role of Nina Zarechnaya in "The Seagull" at the Hawaiian Shakespeare Festival 2017.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
