Ahead of the release of Montage of Heck, the forthcoming Kurt Cobain documentary, the Nirvana frontman’s daughter Frances Bean Cobain has given her first public interview. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Cobain says the film is “emotional journalism” and that “it’s the closest thing to having Kurt tell his own story in his own words.”

She continued, “When [Director] Brett [Morgen] and I first met, I was very specific about what I wanted to see, how I wanted Kurt to be represented. I told him, ‘I don’t want the mythology of Kurt or the romanticism.’ Even though Kurt died in the most horrific way possible, there is this mythology and romanticism that surrounds him, because he’s 27 forever.”

Cobain admitted that she isn’t into Nirvana and that the grunge scene wasn’t for her, but did add, “‘Territorial Pissings’ is a fucking great song. And ‘Dumb’ – I cry every time I hear that song. It’s a stripped-down version of Kurt’s perception of himself – of himself on drugs, off drugs, feeling inadequate to be titled the voice of a generation.”

One of the most interesting stories recounted is of a visit paid to her by her father’s fellow Nirvana bandmates. “Dave [Grohl], Krist [Novoselic] and Pat [Smear] came over to a house where I was living. It was the first time [the ex-Nirvana members] had been together in a long time,” she said. “And they had what I call the ‘K. C. Jeebies,’ which is when they see me, they see Kurt. They look at me, and you can see they’re looking at a ghost. They were all getting the K. C. Jeebies hardcore. Dave said, ‘She is so much like Kurt.’ They were all talking amongst themselves, rehashing old stories I’d heard a million times. I was sitting in a chair, chain-smoking, looking down like this [affects total boredom]. And they went, ‘You are doing exactly what your father would have done.’”

Montage of Heck is set to arrive April 10.
