Personal Quote:
I would like to get rid of the homophobes, racists and sexists in our audience. I know they're out there, and it really bothers me. So at this point I have a request for our fans: If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of a different color, or women, please do this one favor for us... Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records. See more »Trivia:
His death was similar to that of Kenny MacLean and Layne Staley in that nobody found him until 3 days after he died. Cobain and Staley both died on April 5th, 8 years apart. See more »Trademark:
