Kurt Cobain's Ashes Found

[DarkSide247]

Australian artist Natascha Stellmach claims to have acquired the ashes of late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain and intends to smoke them as the finale of her new five part exhibition called "Set Me Free."

“This final act”, Stellmach told Artworld magazine, “will release Cobain from the media circus and into the ether.”

Asked how she she came by having the ashes, she said "That's confidential and kind of magic. They came to me. And I am setting him free.”

The final act of her 'work' entitled "Gone", will see Stellmach smoke a joint containing what she says are Cobain's ashes, currently being kept in an engraved antique case. According to Artworld, Stellmach will smoke it at a secret Berlin location and "represents both the completion of the conceptual project and the final act in an exhibition bound to provoke wide public debate."

As previously reported in June last year, Cobain's ashes were stolen from his widow, singer Courtney Love's Los Angeles home."

........wtf?

"“This final act”, Stellmach told Artworld magazine, “will release Cobain from the media circus and into the ether.”"

I do so love irony. I mean isn't she just contributing to containing his soul in teh media circus by doing this and giving interviews about it?

[ExpertDrummer]

........wtf?

........wtf?

[Chocobo115]

urgh this is giving me the creeps

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

How dare that *****...

[afterstasis]

pretty lame in every way imaginable...

[navaha42]

What if it turns out those ashes contain the cure for cancer!? WE MUST STEAL THEM FROM HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D

[synA7X]

I don't think I can believe that she really has his ashes. Wouldn't she be getting arrested for being in possession of stolen property? Why go public with this other than stir controversy and try to get her 30 seconds of fame?

[CheezerRox]

I hope someone ****ing stope her, that *****. :mad:

Give the ashes back to the man's family!!!

[Chocobo115]

I hope someone ****ing stope her, that *****. :mad:

Give the ashes back to the man's family!!!

better give them to someone sane?

[pan3kill3r]

this is total crap...

[Keebler]

Why don't we leave people's remains alone?

Dead bodies... ashes... they are sacred, and pretty gross.

[rocker338]

that is majorly effed up

[WhiffleBallTony]

Where did you find this? The source affects the credibility.

If true... wow! What an idiot. I think that the Melvins should have possession of Kurt's ashes. It would make the most sense to me.

[RicoTheAwesomeCat]

She needs to actually think through this ****, I hope she ends up rotting in a jail cell because of this.

[Alright_Computer]

Wow.... Just wow. I have a feeling that someone will arrest this crazy lady for possession of stolen property and give them back to the family, where they belong. Smoking people's remains is sick though. I seriously doubt she'll actually get away with this. I'd be willing to bet there's a pretty good chance that this is a hoax, too.

Isn't it ironic that this is supposed to release Cobain from the media circus (which has long since died down), but she's basically doing this for publicity?

maybe she believes that smoking a person's remains will convert their worries unto her, thereby making all future media references to kurt actually to her? :confused:

perhaps this also means that if i load elvis up into my bong i'll turn into a total stud-muffin with a sexy voice. :)

[schmeankman]

I wish I would have though of this!

[Colt_Steele]

That could be pretty potent stuff. Enough to blow her head off. Here's hoping.

[Gargoyle2500]

This is sickening... Like seriously, WTF? Who wants to smoke someone's ashes? I sure don't. That is just WRONG.

[clashcityrocker10]

This would be seriously messed up and disgusting if it happened. On the other hand, I can't help but think this is just some vain hope to grab attention.

[WingsOfSteel]

This is incredibly unfair.


Dave Grohl should get to smoke him.

[Gargoyle2500]

This is incredibly unfair.


Dave Grohl should get to smoke him.

NOBODY should smoke him. I hope this is just some false and stupid publicity stunt, But I am aware Kurt's ashes were stolen. Pardon my language but what the hell is this person trying to achieve, Make Kurt's daughter commit suicide or drive her insane? This person should be arrested NOW!

[Nourez]

Uhh, creepy much. I agree, the ashes should be given to Coutney Love (*shudder*) or some other immediate family members, not smoked by some random Aussie.


I wish I would have though of this!

You disgust me.

[AxlVanHagar]

Perhaps she was inspired by Keith Richards;)

Very weird. I doubt the validity of it however. If she were really in possession of the real deal I would think she would have been arrested after making this announcement or at least detained for questioning regarding the stolen property. I'm sure it's just a really dumb publicity stunt. Best way to ensure it doesn't work is to ignore her.

[Train05]

My friend Nate says that "this ***** is f***ing insane!" I don't know. I was never a big Nirvana fan so I have no opinion about it except this is crazy.

[CheezerRox]

better give them to someone sane?

Well, I know, Courtney and Frances aren't the most "regular" people, but they're still his ****ing family, and they deserve the ashes. They had them, they got stolen, they deserve them back.


You disgust me.

He's just kidding, he's a big NIRVANA/Kurt fan.

[Dustincopter]

I wanna go there and get clam baked off Kurt

[Mister_Rogers69]

i doubt they are really his ashes, much like Love, this person probably just wants attention.

[Transbrak]

as long as she dosen't mistake them for chocolate milk mix.....

[Nourez]

My friend Nate says that "this ***** is f***ing insane!".

Naw, the only person deserving of that is Courtney Love. This ***** is just after attention. Have any of you ever even heard of her?


as long as she dosen't mistake them for chocolate milk mix.....

Eww, I just happen to be drinking chocolate milk right now. If I puke, I blame you. Or Kurt :)

[Alright_Computer]

as long as she dosen't mistake them for chocolate milk mix.....

Maybe Kurt will possess her body and tell everyone what a ***** she's being then.

Also, that was a good episode.

Natascha Stellmach... I'm gonna find and kill this lady!:mad:

[afterstasis]

Natascha Stellmach... I'm gonna find and kill this dude.:mad:

good luck finding a dude named natascha stellmach.

[Daytman]

Can't say this doesn't piss me the hell off. How the hell can she do that? WHY the hell would she do that? She should be arrested for questioning, I mean, she is in possession of a stolen (item?), they can't do ANYTHING about it?

[Bub]

good luck finding a dude named natascha stellmach.

I forgot this was a girl.:o

[Skittles]

thats kinda ****ed up

[Nourez]

thats kinda ****ed up

Biggest understatement ever right there. I fail to see any logic in smoking a dead guys ashes. Actually, considering how much heroin was in his system at the time of his death, smoking him will probably still get you high ;)

[Refero]

I wonder what Kurt would think of this...

[afterstasis]

I wonder what Kurt would think of this...

probably something along the lines of "meh".

[Nourez]

probably something along the lines of "meh".

Agree, he probably wouldn't really give a damn what happened to his body after he died. He seemed to have a strong opinion on everything other than himself.

[Refero]

Mm, as creepy as it is I don't think he'd really have a problem with it.

[Alright_Computer]

If I become famous and die, I'll make sure I don't get cremated, just for this reason. Also, I'd be a bit scared of someone going Keith Richards on my ashes too.

[Kariodude]

You can't smoke ashes. Ashes don't even burn. They are the remnants of something that has already burned. Go ahead, try to light the ashes in an ashtray. Nothing happens. This ***** is ******ed.

She's mixing them in with pot and smoking a joint. So it's not just the ashes.

[tofubot]

well, if the heroin content in his body was already at a point where he shouldn't have been able to operate a firearm at his time of death, i can just imagine the opiate high she'd get if science worked in her favor.

you know, instead of the way science actually works.

[borrowedchief]

Don't do drugs kids. This is what happens.

[bassHero]

I hope someone ****ing stope her, that *****. :mad:

Give the ashes back to the man's family!!!

What he said... This is just disgustingly wrong.

[Kiraweirdo]

lol, what a crazy hoe.


This is why I don't do drugs. You somehow smoke other people's ashes.

[Gargoyle2500]

What is the news on this garbage I shouldn't be bumping back to the page?

[My name is Fez]

pretty lame in every way imaginable...

QFT

Unimaginably lame.

[norsegoth]

no, **** NO! Kurt's been through enough of this bull**** in life, scatter his ashes, dont smoke them you psycho!! someone stop her for the love of god!

[The_Real_Guitar_Hero]

Somebody Stop That *****!!!!!

[Mister_Rogers69]

courtney claimed that the stolen ashes was a false report, that she still has them.

this b!tch is lying

Whew. The lengths some people will go to get attention. Good to hear this was a lie.

which *****? courtney or natascha?

[Gargoyle2500]

which *****? courtney or natascha?

Now I want a link to where Mister_Rogers69 heard this.

[afterstasis]

maybe courtney hooked natascha up with the ashes in exchange for more songs she can claim as her own for her next album?

[tofubot]

oooh, zing.

well, at least now she's trying to exploit her daughter for money. as opposed to going around the world and getting drunk then naked in front of any one that has a camera.

[Cool_Dr_Money]

Man, if I had his ashes I would dump them in a playground sandbox. How awesome would it be if you found out that when you were a kid you played in Kurt Cobain's ashes?

sounds like a law suit waiting to happen if some uppity mother caught wind of it.

[Quinarvy]

I say we capture the ashes, then use a most brutal song from the Finnish Book of Necromanic Spells to summon Kurt back and have him do another revolution.

Even if we could do that, I don't think all of his ashes are there (Didn't his daughter throw some of his ashes in a river?) Plus I don't think he would want to be here.

Eh, lets give it a shot anyway.

Ok,everyone stand back!

Dont think it worked :P


That ***** is wack,and I thought that Courtney just sold them off for cash like a greedy *****.

I hate 'art' that exists for no reason other than to create controversy.

though if art isn't controversial, it's not trying hard enough.

[Soror_YZBL]

Then obviously, it's done its job. Art's supposed to make you think, not look pretty hanging behind your couch.

[Mister_Rogers69]

for those wanting to know where i got that info from that courtney still has the ashes

[Alright_Computer]

Something tells me that the joint she smokes later this month with Kurt's "ashes" won't be the first one she's smoked.

2 of my favorite quotes that i have no idea who said them.

"art isn't a mirror, art is a hammer."

"art is anything that makes you proud to be a human."
