Thank you.

The last paragraph of that tweet tells why this is happening.

He's ticked off at Nirvana for not taking his phone call to ask if they would be part of his art show.

All he got was lawyers and managers. LOL.

Well of course he is. That's who he has to deal with to have the remaining Nirvana members to be involved with his art show.

He actually expected to talk to Dave and Krist directly. LOL.

His poor feelings were hurt so now he's suing Nirvana.

You can sue a ham sammich too

Especially a Spam ham sandwich.

"What's the last thing that went through Kurt Colbain's head"? Old joke.

I started working with CS&N in the early 90s. I was not media when I started working with them. I was the house photographer.

Man, those are some nice images...

I did work with them once as a member of the press. CS&N have a very strict and clear media release they require all photographers to sign.

I've shot Crosby twice and Nash once. I wasn't required to sign a release for any of them. I'd met Crosby before, and he always struck me as someone who'd have a photographer sign a release, but no...

I notice that they still have their rule that you can't take a photo directly of their face, it must be taken on the side.

However, that didn't apply to me.

Hmmmm... never heard that rule. The only reason my photos were from the side is because the seats went almost all the way up to the stage. There just wasn't a pit to speak of.

Here are some of Crosby, in the same venue where I shot Graham:

I'd love to have the opportunity to shoot Stills...

"The members of Nirvana are far from the first musicians to be sued by the people appearing on their album covers. When Vampire Weekend used an ’80s Polaroid for the cover of 2010’s , the model, Ann Kirsten Kennis, filed a $2 million lawsuit, claiming that the signature on a photo release form was a forgery. "

I saw CSN in concert in the 70s.
I think that Cosby and Nash have split over fighting.
They used to be great friends.
It's sad to see.

I agree, the dude is chasing money.
However, Nirvana did make money off of his likeness and their arse is hanging out there.
The Nirvana guys are probably embarrassed and want to get this behind them, and will probably settle out of court.
These kinds of lawsuits happen all of the time.

Pictures of a tribute band?

I shot a Queen tribute band once:

Nirvana's famous naked baby has SUED the band for child pornography after appearing on their iconic 1991 Nevermind album cover.
Spencer Eldon, now 30, said Nirvana and the estate of Kurt Cobain ‘trafficked’ his image as a naked baby and is claiming $2.5million in damages for being 'exploited as a minor'.

Nirvana sued for exploitation claims over 1991 Nevermind album cover

In court documents, Elden alleged that band members, record companies and creative personnel had 'trafficked' his image for profit, and he has 'continued to suffer lifelong damages.'

www.dailymail.co.uk

He will probably win his case.
Nirvana was a ground breaking band that brought in a new wave of great rock music in the 90s.
At the time of Nevermind's release they were a relatively unknown band.
It is now an iconic album that sold about 8 million copies
However, I always wondered who approved of that album cover.
It was probably done to shock people and gain attention, but the kid was exploited.

This is stupid. How does anyone even know that's his picture UNLESS HE TELLS THEM!

 

[g5000]

The dipshit was so proud to have been on the cover, he re-enacted it.

“I said to the photographer, ‘Let’s do it naked.’ But he thought that would be weird, so I wore my swim shorts,” said Elden, an artist from LA.


Case closed.

Dave Grohl still dreams about Kurt Cobain. “I’ve always had these live-performance anxiety dreams,” he says. “Like, Kurt’s still alive. I walk onstage. And my drumsticks are the size of telephone poles. The audience kind of begins to scatter.”⁠

They didnt make millions off that picture. They were an unknown band when that pic was taken.
