Kurt Cobain's Ashes To Be Smoked

Australian artist Natascha Stellmach is claiming that she will smoke the ashes of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in a spliff as part of an art exhibition.

Kurt Cobain's ashes were stolen from Courtney Love in May. In a statement Stellmach claimed she had "acquired" the ashes, and would smoke them as part of the Set Me Free exhibition at Berlin's Wagner + Partner gallery.

The smoking of the ashes will take place at what is being billed as the "final act" of the exhibition, which climaxes on October 11.

Stellmach is claiming that the act will symobillically "set free" Cobain from the media circus.

The smoking will be one of various acts undertaken by artists as part of the exhibition involving the dead.

Danish artist Marco Evarissti plans to feed death row inmate Gene Hathorn to goldfish as part of the show.

The claim of ashes ownership has aroused suspicion among fans, who have posted messages online voicing scepticism that the remains are in fact those of the late singer/guitarist.

Asked how she came to have Cobain's ashes, let alone smoke them, Stellmach told the magazine Artworld: "That's confidential and kind of magic. They came to me. And I am setting him free."

Thanks for the info to Nme.com.

WTF???

Smoke?

As in smoke the ashes of one great musician Cobain like a cigarette?

[LifesSweetDrug]

Disgusting! I don't even like Courtney but she deserves the ashes back. This isn't even art . . .

Someone has been listening to Keith Richard too much!

[coolo]

smoking ash?

i diddnt know you could burn something that has already been burned.

And anyway did Kurt even know her, somebody think of what he may have wanted for once.

[joshua029]

wow, this chick sounds terribly dumb which leads me to believe she's a frequent smoker of many things...

[paddypadman]

"Stellmach is claiming that the act will symobillically "set free" Cobain from the media circus. "

Is she just not trying to make herself famous, no!?
Kinda ironic!

Anyway she seems like an idiot but you dont do stuff like this unless the person wanted it or something like!

[flintazra]

It's either this or have his remains stay with Courtney Love and her diseases.

Quote from Stellmach: "There's something you may not know about me...I smoke rocks."

[Caribousunking]

Smells like bullshit.

[tom.b]

Performance artists are the lowest of the low.

[tim311mahoney]

1- How is this art?
2- How does smoking someone's remains in a big media display set one free from the media? Its contradictory.
3- If she's and artist, then the dudes from Jackass are artists.
4- Once again, how is this art?

[Stampede]

i was going to say she needs to sprinkle them on a big fat j and smoke them, but apparently thats what shes doing. i learned a new word today: spliff.

[bada-bing]

i respect artists because i have grown up with people who are performers and i have dabbled in the industry myself. However as i am a huge music fan when a story like this is published it leaves me at a strange crossroad....appreciate 'art' in the form off a 'joint' with the remains off a hugely well known music icon?????
I think this is definately crossing the line, as i have mentioned i know people who are performers and beleive me you have to open your mind to take in whats happening most of the time. This is a person and be it Kurt Cobain or not i think this is ludicrous.

[Unrulyguitarist]

Wow. That is really dumb. I don't like Kurt nor Courtney, but jeez, this is retarded, give the ashes back. Besides, according to some rumors, Keith Richards beat her to it. But wow...

[LeVeL-27 Freak]

dude im sorry but that is totally disrespectful i mean for **** sake
would you smoke jimi hendrix?
Would you smoke Dimebag?
Would you smoke Cliff Burton?

no so why the **** is this retarded bitch going to smoke someone who died with a trouble life shes ****ing putting him into the media circus not taking him out of it.

BURRY THE ASHES! FOR FUCK SAKE OR GIVE THEM TO HIS DAUGHTER YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO FUCKING LOVED HIM!

[jsnate]

Reminds me of Keith Richards snorting his father.

[Silent_Jester13]

"Danish artist Marco Evarissti plans to feed death row inmate Gene Hathorn to goldfish as part of the show."

WTF??

But seriously when is the world going to leave him alone. He never wanted any of this attention. He was a good man, I wish people would honor that.

[A Poe]

Maybe she should shoot kurt cobain straight into her veins.

[heavenbesideyou]

Hows his daughter feel about this? I would be pretty ****ing pissed if some no name were to smoke the ashes of my dad for 'art'. Good god just leave him be!

[napalm890]

WTF

[kornival]

if SHE DOES in fact have kurt's ashes, and his ashes were stolen from courtney love, why doesnt courtney love just go get it back through the legal system?

I've never heard of stellmach, but i guess it goes without saying, "there's no such thing as bad publicity".

[travlnmn41]

Shouldn't this woman be arrested for possession of stolen property? She is just as much a criminal as the nut who broke into Ronnie Van Zant's grave and dumped Steve Gaines' ashes onto the grass. I'm no fan or Cobain, but legally and morally, this is just wrong.

[travlnmn41]

Make that "fan of Cobain"

[azmuzik]

Why the hell would you even think of doing that???? Poor Francis. Her dad can't save her from this shit even in death.

Too true. This 'artist' needs to be facially re-configured with a blunt object.. Maybe a 'Big Muff' pedal? lol

[RU Experienced?]

I for one am much more interested in seeing a death row inmate being eaten alive by goldfish.

[Swap-Meet]

not kurts ashes

WTF.....that has to be the most ****ed up thing ive heard in a very long time.

Never wanted attention? Of course he did. Hence the music videos and attending award shows. Couldn't handle it all in the end and to some degree i'm sure it played a small part in his decision to end his life.

[boxcharles]

I can't believe any of you actually BELIEVE that this chick is for real. Did his ashes just "magically" fly across the ocean to her?

Did she buy them off ebay or something?

Publicity stunt.

[LegionsOfDeath]

the bigger question here is how are they going to feed an inmate to goldfish?

there's no proof that they are kurt's ashes.

checked

[KtuluCalls]

yeah I hope the spirit of Kurt will be in her just like kenny's in cartmans body. dumbass sick people.

oh yeah and it doesnt matter whos ashes they are its still wrong.

[NutZz?]

this is actually F*cking appalling, I seriously thought at first that the article's title had to be wrong or misleading somehow...I can't believe this.

I don't like Courtney Love, but I hope she goes postal on this "artist".

[Phoenix_24Leas]

ROFL that's the most insane crap I've heard in a while, is that even healthy? I bet she's gonna be hacking and heaving if it really is the ashes. Pretty horrible and contradictory thing to do I might add but that goes without saying

[insurgentsteve]

P.T. Barnum: "A sucker is born every minute."

It's a sideshow gag guys, total b/s.

[Kobrakai]

It's disgusting. I can't stand love but doing that to someone's ashes is a disgrace. Like her or not those ashes are Courtney's, not some cheap artist's!

[.QOTSA.]

i hope she ****ing chokes...

[TheEsupremacy]

There is no truth to this. This stupid woman is full of it.
The whole story is disgusting and disrespectful. Her "art" is a total joke.

[GhostReverie]

hope she dies of cancer.

[xxxFMDxxx]

Thats ****ed up just give them back.

[syd-young]

shes stealing that from a cheech and chong movie first she steals the ashes and then steals an idea

[Aidy Damage]

Some people are good, others are bad. This particular example, however, is a total lunatic. This isn't art.

[mdlarry7]

this is sick

[Walternativo]

liiike ew. Prolly lies.

I don't know, I think it's sort of cool

[Tallman1984]

"Stellmach is claiming that the act will symobillically "set free" Cobain from the media circus."

After reporting all of this to the media circus. Its like telling every prison guard your 'secret' plan to break out. Furthermore, if this wasn't a hoax, why would somebody who stole Cobain's ashes report it to the media admitting they committed criminal activity. Stealing somebody's remains isn't exactly a parking ticket. Plus you wouldn't even be able to smoke the remains once they're taken away by the cops. Despite the fact that this is all complete horseshit, this woman deserves a beatdown just for spreading such stupidity.

she didn't admit to stealing the ashes. she admitted to acquiring them. and there's no proof that they are his ashes.

this whole thing disgusts me. she has absolutely no right to even touch kurt cobain's ashes. even if it isnt his ashes, claiming that it is is just wrong.
and what's the whole thing about the death row inmate about!? its just some mornoic f*ck who claims to be an artist trying to get attention. paint a f*cking picture or something, something that we can actually appreciate!

What an ignorant bitch. Just because she's an artist she thinks everything she does is art. I like art and artists but some of them can be so pretentious it's ridiculous.

What's next? Is she going to kill Paul and Ringo to Symbolically re-unite the Beatles? What the hell is wrong with people.

[MozemVasJebat]

...hello, hello, hello how low.....

[Nightfyre]

Oh yeah, employing his ashes in a bullsh*t media circus stunt will really set him free from said media circus... what a load. I hope she chokes and dies on the stuff. Give the ashes back to Courtney already.

[IMABBALLPLAYER]

What in the hell?!

[TC1223]

What a piece of sh*t she is. And she will be allowed to do this? I hope all those chemicals fry her brain like a piece of bacon.

[Tyler Durden]

I call shinanigans - its probably her dead dog or something and is doing it as a publicity stunt...and if it really was KC, well thats just disrespectfull

[petey gunnz]

everyones freaking out but this chick prob doesnt even have the real ashes did you guys see what she said? she found them threw magic? she was already high during the interview this chicks crazy

why has no-one commented on the guy who is feeding someones remains to a bloody goldfish?!

just because he was on death row does not make him less off a human being. this series of performances sounds sick and should not be applauded. its way over the top.

next someone will murder someone and declare it in the name of art and get no jail-time.....

[TJ1991]

If this is allowed to happen then we've sunk to new levels. She's clearly trying to jump on the bandwagon of Keith Richards when he smoked his dad, but this is completely out of order. Not even art. In any way. Whatsoever.

[davedoom]

so-called artists really are the scum of the earth

whole story:

[AngelWolf]

when did smoking ashes of the dead become art... arts like van goff.. or how ever the names spelt.. and painting and drwing sketchs and stuff.. now arts being taken too far

[MasterMaster!!]

smokes ashes.. wat

[2mins2midnite]

im not a fan of kurt but this is just disgraceful,
i hate these artists who does stuff like this to get some attention, and its not art its a woman smoking.
DICKS!!!!!

[AngelWolf]

and there was me thinking black metal bands burning churches was over the top... i think its pretty cool... compared to this idea

[sottpwn]

I never liked Cobain or Nirvana, but that's just sick.

..yeah... and how does she think by smoking him she will free him from the media.. its just gunna cover a strange store more... its pathetic

[AngelWolf]

i dont like courtnay.. but.. its like.. her property.. and its only fair the ashes of her husband should be given to her. not some ( i use the term very loosly) 'artist'.

If it is his ashes or not, is not the most vile part of this freak-show (although it is downright retarded).
Using a dead music icon to make yourself famous is vile and disgusting.

She's an excellent troll and accomplished what she (I assume) set out to do; be a media*****.
So I guess she's got that going for her.

The smoking will be one of various acts undertaken by artists as part of the exhibition involving the dead.

Necrophilia doesn't sound to far-fetched in this wacko-pseudo art festival...

[nesveikuolis]

Too much pot, duh

[Bati]

Art just keeps getting better and better... What´s next, a shark in formaldehyde??

[ValoRhoads]

this is pretty f'ed up. Now if Kurdt's MOM smoked the ashes, well that would be news worthy, and the opposite of Keith Richards snorting his dad.

[demondown666]

i think kurt would really give a shit. hes in a different place ****in hot babes as we speak

[Cheesepuff]

How is this art?

[Jazzcore23]

If she says that she has the ashes and they are Kurt Cobains, then there is a case to be made that they are exactly that. It doesnt matter if she bought them or stole them, she has stolen property, which is known to be stolen. If courtney wanted to she could make a good case for injunctive reflief

[RequiemofDemons]

lol wtf..not that i actually believe this, but this is the craziest thing iv heard yet..just...wow lol

[JackSpiteface]

If they are his ashes I hope she ****ing chokes the publicity grabbing ****

If they are his ashes I hope she ****ing chokes the publicity grabbing ****

[weezergeek182]

Set him free from the medie circus. lol. She's actually keeping it going.

[G0ply]

When Natascha Stellmach enters the after life Kurt Cobain is going to waiting for her...

I hope the ashes kill her!

This is totally disrespectful not to say just plan ****ed up.

Kurt Cobain didn't like fame he would not want his ashes being used for someone to gain fame with...

This sounds more along the lines of Witchcraft than Art

[little jim]

Danish artist Marco Evarissti plans to feed death row inmate Gene Hathorn to goldfish as part of the show.

wtf

[_GoingBlind_]

in about a month Kurt's ashes will be returned or "found" and this lady will find out she paid way too much("acquired") for BarBQ pit ashes. I hope she at least rolls it with some good stuff, cuz that's gonna taste like ass-****

[TrP6 SeNiLe]

So, to take kurt away from the media circle, she's going to smoke his ashes..... giving his ashes even more attention from the media circle?
...

[SugarRush66]

What. The. Hell.

Totally not cool, whether or not they are actual his ashes. Even the idea's more than just a little twisted.

Not hard enough...lots and lots of Mesa/Boogie diamond-plated materials and pedals. Now those will f*ck her up.

Seriously, this show not only sounds retarded, but I'm sure she doesn't have the remains. There would've been some kind of uproar long before this. I hate Courtney Love, but this chick is just as whacked out as she is. Just let the man R.I.P.

[USCENDONE BENE]

She should be assasinated

You can smoke burn ashes to a certain extent. But it taste like crap.

Where's the world going?

we should freaking kill her! how could she do something as stupid as smoke a music legend?.

[yearzero]

News rarely angers me....

But as a life-long Nirvana fan...this pisses me off to no end.

Natascha Stellmach should be found and beaten with a Left Handed Fender Mustang

[PenFighter19]

bullsh*t. I guarantee it. She was being interviewed for the first time, got excited and said something stupid cus she thought it would a)be funny, b)cause a commotion, and c)get her attention. Good job. Shes effectivly played you all. Well, everyones gotta be good at something right? since shes such a sh*tty 'artist' and all.

[Joe4/4/1992]

this is sick
as a fan of kurt cobain i find this downright insulting, theres a fine line between art and ignorance and this crosses the line and spits on it, the ashes should be returned to courtney and not smoked by an "artist" desperate for attention

R.I.P. Kurt Cobain

[Spike6sic6]

Forgot to mention, it's funny how many people care for such a stupid thing. She'll smoke him and after he'll gone, altho he already was. So what?

Someone also mentionned it's vile to use someone dead to be on medias or to gain personnal profit, but isn't that what Courtney Love has been doing for years? I don't know how smoking the ashes make her worst then Courtney. I've never been fan of Nirvana, Cobain or Courtney but meh. People are overreacting over it.

Let the self-proclaimed artists do what they want and don't give them what they want: attention. Artist.... I hate that word. It's just another world people use to make themselves feel better in comparison to others.

[Raizer Sabre]

how much sacreledge does this measure up to? this isn't art, it's like saying david blaine is a magician and illusionist

What's wrong with just smoking a regular spliff? Speaking of which.....

Set him free from the media circus by making another media circus out of HIS ASHES!?!?!?!?!

This is disgusting...

So she'll set Kurt free from the "media circus" by entering it. ok...

I'm not sure how her publically smoking his ashes will do anything to set him free from the media circus.

WTF??

...He was a good man, I wish people would honor that.

Errr....

In October 1984, Gene Wilford Hathorn Jr., then 24, resolved to kill his father, stepmother, and half-brother. He was motivated both by animosity and the prospect of an inheritance of around $150,000. He planned to go to the trailer home where his family lived, shoot them, take some valuable items, and plant hairs and cigarette butts from other people, in the hopes of making the crime look like a burglary perpetrated by blacks.

He killed his dad, his step-mum and his 14 year old half-brother in cold blood, because he wanted the money, then tried to frame it on black people.

You are calling him a good man.

Am i missing something? To me he seems like a ****in scum bag. Rot In Pieces.

[sid222]

what a sick twisted piece of shit,smoking stolen ashes is lower than low.give those ashes back to his family for ****s sake.
total disrespect for a human being

[Strato-Massacre]

im going to call BS and assume shes just smoking some other sh*t already. i doubt she has his ashes.

[raj_j_i]

Dude.. dude... OMG... I have no idea what to say. Someone's gonna smoke one my dearest heroes' ashes... How do you respond to that?

cabain desrves more respect than that.
and i dont even like courtney but cobain loved her and she deserves his ashes back. i dont see how the artist can legally keep the ashes when they were stolen in the first place, courtney is the lawful owner

[tubey69]

this is so wrong, whether they are kurts ashes or not, being smoked in a spliff is the lowest of the low, it should be up to the daughter to say what happens to her father. and if they must make something out of the ashes, why not make something that will last forever, and something that kurt loved, such as a guitar or something that will go down in history, rather than a stinking spliff

[NemX162]

...WHAT THE FUCK

[Whiskky]

From the point reports came in about Cobain's stolen ashes, who didn't see something like this coming?

[mnhockey99]

She only "acquired" them??? It is still grounds to be charged with posession of stolen property to me.

If a stolen car was given to me, can I claim that I only acquired it, to be smoked at my next performance art gig? I can hear the judge laughing from my jail cell now.

[tamargoguitar]

this is sick man she should go to hell

[kunkushin]

Artist, no, setting Cobain free, nope, attention *****, yes, contradiction for pulling publicity stunt where you smoke an artist's remains in alleged efforts to free a soul from a media circus while in fact your bringing very negative attention to the artist who's coat tails you wish to ride on, definatly.
and after you smoke the ashes whats left, more ashes you d*** b****, whats over?

Good point! Mix it into some paint and have his daughter paint a picture with them or something gay like that. Do something constructive. My guess is that someone smokes her before she smokes him.

[stompbox]

could be a cover up but still smmoking something like would make you sick as hell , that is what you call a dumb as from hell .and if the are him they should be put back in the right hands .some one like that needs to have there as kicked .and so i think there some kind law if not there should be.

[Clutch32192]

Maybe she'll mix him with some weed and smoke it...that mite work

[Early Cuyler]

this bitch is stupid...

hes dead.

[51VH50]

honestly this is sick and wrong. she had no relation to the man whoatsoever so how should she be able to determine his demise even after death. Courtney love has more right to him than she does. this is disgusting and wrong. she is a ****ing criminal.

[51VH50]

ohyeah. and are they serioussly feeding a live dude to ****ing gold fish???

[mnhockey99]

And for her next trick, she's going to smoke Janis Joplin's used tampon.

[crazy8rgood]

Thats just wrong... Why would you do such a thing?

[OffspringPhreak]

So... how is this supposed to "free Cobain from the media circus"??

Looks like she's trying desperately to get attention herself.

Pero que leches va a acer esta petarda?!?!?!?
She cant smoke Kurt Cobain! She's not that big!

How is creating more publicity over this going to " set him free " ? But its probably just BS and not really his ashes.

wow my answer was in the quote by accident. but anyway to everybody saying keith richards smoked or snorted his fahter's ashes, he was kidding when he said that and the media took it seriously. he did say it was a joke. but seriously this sucks, some people have absolutely no respect for the dead and think they can do whatever they want with them, if she really is dumb enough to do it, i hope she gets cancer like some other guy said...

[dieloony2]

Can't she find some other way to make a name for herself? this is just sick

[CTFOD]

Would that make her a cannibal?

[B.do]

haha smoke ashes ? lol that muts be really nasty...but seriously this sucks

[jakehendrixman]

Only one thing to say. Disrespectful.

[courtkid1012]

Kurt Cobain's ashes get smoked the day before my birthday... niiiice.

[GuitarJunkie]

I call bullshit, they aren't his ashes.

If they are his I think that would be less disrespectful than letting Courtney Love have them back

[bazman13]

so i read the title and thought "i wonder how keith richards got them?"

[AdamDK]

I'm more interested in the guy who will be fed to Goldfish.

[melle-cobain]

Art??
there is just one thing i want to say its damn disrespectfull i dont go smoke your grandmas ashes am i?
just leave it alone and let him rest im peace

[jakehendrixman]

I may not like Courtney that much, but this was a ONCE LIVING person. If she had consent by him to light him up, that's a different story, but to steal the REMAINS of a PERSON to smoke them for media attention??? I swear this world is going to fold 2012 prophecy or not. Remove any knowledge of them being celebrities and look at them as people for christ sake. I'm not trying to be preachy, but this is so f***ing low.

[ShadesOfNight]

GuitarJunkie wrote:

i agree. if they were Cobains ashes then no-one would be retarded enough to publicly announce possesion of them, and then publicly smoke them. the amount of Nirvana fans that would turn up there just to beat the living shit out of her would be the only reason id go.
seriously....i love Kurt, but even if it was someone i didnt like id still say give them back. apart from anything its just going to hurt his family.
i say we burn stellmach and smoke her

[jakehendrixman]

AMEN!!!

[Big Sounds]

the human race has failed. dispicable

[Kapalen]

why doesn't love get her extradited or take some legal action?

For the record, I hate nirvana, but the man was still a man and deserves better than this and I would like to punch this "artist" in the face

[stratdud39]

wtf, this girl is screwed up. i doubt kurt cobain would want to be invovled in this.

[NCHammer326]

Cobain's life/death seems to be one horribly ironic moment after another.

[Axe Murderer]

Cheap stunt. This person is a loser.

[sideoftheham420]

what the ****? Is courtney going to do anything?

hahah this is soo stupid

[strat0blaster]

Someone really needs some attention.

Maybe she'll end up with Cobain in her like Cartman with Kenny on South Park.



MEDIA WHORE.

[NIRVANAPLAYER]

This is ****ed up! I mean, it would probubly sound a little better if it were courtny smokeing the ashes. But seriously, kurt did'nt even know this lady, and she's gonna be ****ing smoking him. I just find it inhumane that she's doing it for the entertainment of people at the exhibit. And its even more messed up that courtny cand get the ashes back. I just never thought it would end this way for kurt...

[ChucklesMginty]

Don't do drugs! Give hugs!

[Ricky4635]

This is got to be the most stupidest thing I have ever heard. Why would you smoke Kurt Cobain? I now the reason why. She just wants to be famous. She one of those rock and roll poser that doesn't now the difference between guitar hero and real guitar. She is one of those junkies that will addventilly go back rupt and become homeless. Give Kurt's ashes to someone who would do the right thing with them. Not Love, she interdused herion to Kurt and she's the reason Kurt is dead. Give them to Dave Grohl or the bass player (can't remember his name). They would do the right thing. They would barry them or something other than smoke them.

[yonathon]

what the ****, kurts ashes were ****ing scattered by the stream in ****ing portland seattle!!!!
and if courtney has any it wasnt that much and i didnt even know she had his ashes...:S

this chick is contradicting herself through and through!

Sick.

[TannerRob]

I dont really see why people think kurt cobain was so good tbh he wrote the most easy riffs none to man....

[freakincody7]

....i might go and try to stop her....it seems like its something that should be done, you dnt smoke people...especially not kurt, hes been through too much shit to have this happen to him after death, and someone save that inmates ashes too, i dont care what he did, he doesnt deserve to be fed to goldfish eather, this is dick**** retarded, anyone who lives around there, stop her before its too late

[Sp00nman94]

i hope that woman gets lung cancer from whatever she smokes, and has to live with it in a vegetable-like state for a long, long time, regardless of whether they are Kurts ashes or someone elses ashes. Smoking a person when it wasn't their wish is disrespectful in the extreme.

I don't really think that they're Kurts ashes, i just think that this is a quick and easy way for a woman to become famous and, you never know, make a bit of money off the media circus shes continueing.

[RATM15]

that is disgusting. Cobain should not be treated with such disrespect. that is so wrong. this woman has no soul. im furious about this. i hope she burns in hell, no pun intended

i think i'll turn this chick into ashes.

Somebody's been watching to much Cheech and Chong lol
not defending her or anything but Kurt probably wouldn't give a shit what they do with his remains
although he probably would think she is a nut job, do you think someone who wore dresses to interviews would really be offended by anything?

Is she just not trying to make herself famous, no!?
Kinda ironic!

Anyway she seems like an idiot but you dont do stuff like this unless the person wanted it or something like!

I bet they are just ashes from a firepit. You'd have to be out of your right mind to smoke the ashes of one of the greatest musicians that has ever lived!

Regardless of if they are Kurt's ashes or not, my reaction to this article was "That's horrible."

The entire premise of that show is disgusting and THOROUGHLY disrespectful. Feeding somebody to goldfish? As if the execution wasn't enough of a slap in the face of human life.

[SPBY]

you're serious? really? some random attention *****, who stole the wife's husbands ashes is allowed to smoke the ashes of a beloved dead musician? really? she should be arrested, not made famous. one more thing, um... did anyone think that kurt would want his ashes scattered somewhere peaceful rather than burned again and tossed away like a cigarette?

and who the **** is 'Natascha Stellmach'
BITCH!!!!!

shame... there is a reason people say Rest in Peace... I am not religious but one must have respect for the memory and remains of the dead... smoking the ashes of kurt cobain does neither... in fact it seems to me like a publicity stunt to get 15 minutes of fame for some bitch who stole his ashes... something i'm sure kurt cobain himself would be against

[drummerhead]

Death to Natascha Stellmach. She does not have any right to do that. She dont have any relation to Kurt Cobain. I bet she dont know who the hell he is. This is an insult.

Cobains ashes arent art, but they may have fallen victim in a similar fashion. I would think there are some upset personal friends and family of Cobains. I for one have never been able to stomach Nirvanas music, so the story does'nt hit me as hard. America is far behind, for god sake you can't even legaly smoke a spliff in this country, maybe where this freak show is, is more advanced in that area.

...He was a good man, I wish people would honor that.



Errr....

In October 1984, Gene Wilford Hathorn Jr., then 24, resolved to kill his father, stepmother, and half-brother. He was motivated both by animosity and the prospect of an inheritance of around $150,000. He planned to go to the trailer home where his family lived, shoot them, take some valuable items, and plant hairs and cigarette butts from other people, in the hopes of making the crime look like a burglary perpetrated by blacks.


He killed his dad, his step-mum and his 14 year old half-brother in cold blood, because he wanted the money, then tried to frame it on black people.

You are calling him a good man.

Am i missing something? To me he seems like a ****in scum bag. Rot In Pieces.

By the way. the people running this art show are just ****ing disrespectful, feeding a guy to goldfish and smoking a dead guy's ashes.

I have a theory:
The psycho artist bitch (she doesn't deserve to be named) killed Cobaine all those years ago just so she could smoke his ashes now. It's one big conspiracy she's been planning for ages now. Its just a theory though.

what...the ****...now THAT's random

[mongoose711]

Hypermathimatically (cause i highly doubt she'll actually do it), if she were to smoke said ashes, someone would have to poison them or something so then at least Kurt would be happy about killing a complete retard

if kurt cobain wanted someone to smoke his ashses, then he would have said so before he died.

WHAT THE FUCK! THIS SHIT IS FUCKED UP! TO EVEN SAY THOSE ARE KURTS ASHES IS A CRIME, I DONT EVEN LIKE NIRVANA THAT MUCH BUT WTF! I WANT TO GO TO THIS EVENT SHIT AND BLOW THIS PSYCHOS FUCKING HEAD OFF FOR THIS!

THE OTHER THINGS FUCKED UP TOO WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE, THEY SHOULD BE LOCKED UP IN A PADDED ROOM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES

[jimivancobain]

blasphemy! are u kidding me? she's trying to set him free of the media circus? Bullsh! she is completely dishonoring him! i don't like courtney that much but she deserves the ashes!

[EnyoAdonai]

She'll change her mind as soon as she smells burnt hair and fingernails. Could this be considered cannibalism?

Anyway... she's nuts.

Checked...

[twiggy94]

What a disgrace. I can't even say anything else than that.

[j_micho]

This is physically impossible. You can't burn something that has already been burned.

...oh yeah and it's also wrong.

[breadstick]

If they were stolen than shouldn't they be returned? Can't Courtney Love legally take legal action against this stupid biatch?

[kevinm4435]

conceptual art is strange

[dustyoffski]

you cant believe everything you read online, but its possible both things are going to happen. Please dont take the internet as gospel, especially if your young.

If it's true, this "art" is in extreamly bad taste... (yes that was on purpose.)

this exhibition or watever is not that disgusting lol not
leave the poor guys ashes alone

definitely cannibalism


you're all fools for thinking this one act of smoking will cause cancer

[masterohumans]

Is smoking a spliff legal in Berlin?

[roarinflames]

im sorry

but this is definitely the funniest ****ing headline ive ever read

too ridiculous not to laugh

[steelfingers]

wtf? why would you smoke someone's remains. thats desecration more than honorism and "setting him free"

[IbanezBassman]

I agree with paddypadman. Setting Kurt free from the media circus, what the hell. She's just creating a circus. Fuck her.

[panicalittle]

I think it's disgraceful and they should be returned to Courtney (even if no one likes her..)

[ihavenoname93]

apparently being an 'artist' is just an exuse to get out of the insane assylum. someone please shoot this bitch in the knee, chest, and head, in that order. even if its not kurts ashes, this is the opposite of 'honoring' him

this is ****ing crazy, u dont steal someones ashes then smoke them, for ****s sake, if this women does this i am personally killing her myself and i think i'm not alone in that respect

[the goblin]

Honestly, this is probably the way that Kurt wanted to go. This makes perfect sense to me and I hope it gets her high.

[pistols]

****ing bitch should go rot in hell, doing whatever she wants with the remains of a person for her own gain. what a *****.

[Uninspired_One]

Dude, according to the original article, posted way up there, nobody ever confirmed that the ashes were even stolen. On top of that, this bitch is full of it, she's so hack artist trying to ride the coat tails of a man who actually means something. I call bullshit.

[YetAnotherMuso]

buuullcraaaap...I'm willing to bet both of my guitars that these aren't actually Kurt's ashes...just some wackjob trying to create controversy, chill the hell out people.

[RUSTDOGG666]

that bitch didnt even deserve the ashes in the first place. I don't care that she did marry him.

[m1chael w0rkman]

If it is Kurt's ashes that she smokes, I have to say that's one of the most disrespectful things I've EVER heard of anyone doing to an icon. (Face it, even if you hate Nirvana with every fiber of your being, you have to admit that they changed music and gave the counterculture a new voice. Cobain was thrust into icon status whether he wanted to be or not).
If it isn't his ashes that are being smoked...it wouldn't surprise me either. People do so many things for attention, that it's hard to believe anything like this. Besides, wouldn't the police go after her first?

::NOTE::
I didn't read the whole article this time, I'll admit to it. Just...the first paragraph killed me and I had to comment right away.

[FuZzY(aus)]

you cant smoke ashes their already burnt
and thats not freeing the musical circus its making it bigger
feed someone to a gold fish
why dont we feed them to goldfish?

[MangeRamone]

^what that guy said

[wicked_hobbit]

Damn this is extremely DISRESPECTFUL. You don't do this retarded thing unless Kurt personally requested for it. This is plain wrong!

[Tiepps]

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA *breathes*
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

oh gee

[Oddfull46Dodger]

Even if what this chick has are really Kurts' ashes, it doesn't matter. What Kurt did in life is all there is. We will all become ashes in the end.

[mitch311]

Hes dead. Who the hell cares what happens to his ashes

[gibson-sg-rocks]

bull

[Caribousunking]

Kurt Cobain "..Choking on the ashes of her enemy" 1994.

I wouldn't worry about this as its clearly lies and propaganda for her show. She's risking arrest for one thing. This whole column and media coverage is all she wanted. She wants to make a name for herself and now shes done that. For a day or two anyway.

[gibson-sg-rocks]

i dont belive he killed himself. i think he was killed. wheres the proof? he is God.

[KingSquall802]

i will kill Natascha Stellmach!

Far more important than kurt cobaines "supposed" ashes. they aren't even his- you guys are just gullible.

well i belive she stole it and i think that b4 it was stolen hit dust wasnt under the media circus

[CoreysMonster]

I live right around the corner from this art gallery, I'm gonna go and check it out and see what kind of woman would do this.

anybody have a message they want me to deliver?

[Helpy Helperton]

courtney has probably already smoked them

[gregshow]

i doubt that she has the real ashes. probably just trying to get attention for whatever this "art exibition" should be...

and you can't smoke ashes. its not gonna work

[Mulldarran]

She can't do that?! It's a ****ing dead person!

Oh yes you can smoke ashes. Just mix some of it with the hashish.

Too true. This 'artist' needs to be facially re-configured with a blunt object.. Maybe a 'Big Muff' pedal? lol

Maybe a left handed Mosrite?

can you prove that they're kurt's ashes?

can you prove that she stole them?

that's why she hasn't been arrested.

No! let her choke on the cigarette, then someone can come and disembowel her slowly while shes alive of course, now you cut of her legs, skin her slowely and gouge out her eyes, then stop and leave her there to die!

I bet that courtney didn't lost them. He smoked them by herself in lack of drugs!

"Stellmach is claiming that the act will symobillically "set free" Cobain from the media circus." wait a second.... didn't she just bring him back in it? why the hell anyone would want to consume a human body is beyond me

Clearly she's just a media *****. If she cares about him so much...why bother dragging him back in after he'd dead and gone.

[noodlegts]

This is probably

THE
DUMBEST

aside from our president speaking.

[Zero_Mike]

I like the part about feeding a death row inmate to goldfish.

[Deflection]

She deserves to ****ing die.

[le screamist]

That is borderline cannibalism...if she inhales that is!

Also, some people are just downright weird, although I have to hand it to UG for giving us something we havn't already heard.

[Scott O]

I think that Dave Grohl should go to this broads house and take a dump on her doorstep so that she steps on it when she walks out her door. THAT would be art.

[Minion2580]

it would be better if she grew weed with his ashes

[<Paper Cuts>]

F***ING COURTNEY LOVE BETTER GET THOSE ASHES BACK!!!!!
(lol, as much as I hate Courtney, she does deserve to keep Kurt's ashes) How on EARTH did that girl steal them?!
Oh, sure its confidential, and "magic" cuz they came to her. She's stoned!
PLEASE have someone arrest her for drug use or theft or SOMETHING!!!!! And, lol, it would be art if Dave took a crap on her doorstep so she could step on it.

[pigmaggots]

I doubt they are really Kurts ashes but I don't really care, the whole gesture and symbolism behind this is enough to make me smile

So, kids. The moral of this story? Drugs make you lose your common sense and marbles.

[Flipjuhh]

Sick fckn humans. She needs an electric chair under her ass.

[Chris-W-11]

This is a ****ing outrage. Kurt Cobain was an amazing musician. This woman deserves several bullets in the spleen and then someone should cut her open and feed her the bullets.

Hahahahaha wow, what the hell?

[mrjimborinsane]

they would do dna testing on them first to find out. and if they were kurts, the police would give them back to courtney and arrest this woman for posession of stolen property. BUT goldfish dont even have teeth?!?! how can they devour this man??!?! are then going to nubb the man to death?

[newbie08]

What the ****? no!

What the frick?!
Kurt Cobain. Kurt freakin Cobain and she's gonna roll him up, re-burn him, then cough him back out?

that's right.. it's impossible to burn ashes! plain physics

[Ultius]

Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
I hope to God that this is bullshit. Did Kurt Cobain ever ask to be smoked like a goddamn rock after he died? NO.

Plus I don't even think it's physically possible for you to actually light ashes on fire. Since ash is what something breaks down to after it's been burned. Someone get a damn scientist in here.

And... Feeding people to goldfish? How does that work?
Why do people continue to be stupid?
And more importantly... HOW IS THIS ART?

Although, the heroin content of the ash might give her one hell of a high...

wow anyone who believes the bitch who says she has kurts ashes are just as dumb as the people who believe Tom Grant. Kurts ashes where not stolen and this story is a lie, the cobain estate was broken in and property was stolen but the ashes remain in courtney's possession.

[liquerpig]

WTF!! I hope when shes dies someone flushes her ashes down the toilet in the name of art.

[wouldyakindly]

Hahaha, I love how much people overreact to this kind of thing. Kurt Cobain is dead, so he doesn't give a flying **** about his ashes. If he were alive however, he'd probably be happy that his memory was being used to do something controversial and ironic.

As for it being "art", modern art has created far more meaningless and random ideas than this, because it is about finding meaning in something abstract. If you don't like that, you can take it up with the wider art community, but lots of people do like it.
