NIRVANA FEATURE

During his brief life, Kurt Cobain was the type of galvanizing artistic visionary that comes along perhaps once in a generation.

NIRVANAIn death, he has become even more. Legend, icon, embodiment of rock music... he has been called all of these things, and with each year that passes without him, his weight in the musical universe will continue to be studied even further.

We reached back to October of 1993, when Kurt and his bandmates were preparing to take what would be Nirvana's final studio album, "In Utero," to the people.

As the band launched its tour at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, Arizona, MTV News sat down with the band and talked at length about coming to terms with success and the arena rock status the band had reached on that outing. You can see that conversation, as well as plenty of performance footage from the opening night of the "In Utero" tour (plus additional footage from a Boston performance by the band on the eve of the release of "Nevermind" in 1991) here in our MTV News Online feature.
