New York (ANI): Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain really detested Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose, according to record business eminence Danny Goldberg.

In his memoir, Bumping Into Geniuses, Goldberg has revealed that when Rose asked to meet Cobain backstage after a show, Kurt refused. "Rose had the kind of macho rock persona that Kurt detested," the New Daily News quoted Goldberg, as stating in the book. Even Cobain's wife, Courtney Love, was not keen on getting to know Rose's then-girlfriend, Victoria's Secret stunner Stephanie Seymour.

Goldberg, who served as president of Atlantic Records, Warner Bros. Records and Mercury Records, said that promoters tried to launch a tour with Nirvana, Metallica and Guns N' Roses. "There was a lot of money on the table. Kurt really liked Metallica," Goldberg said.

However, there wasn't enough money in the world to get him to share a stage with that other band, he added.

You don't mention that years earlier Courtney Love whored herself out to anyone who could help with her career. She hit on Axl before she married Kurt. This is a main reason why Kurt detest Axl.

from all i have read most people have the wrong image of Axl Rose...once you actually get to know the guy he is probably a cool dude...nobody cares about Cobain anymore anyhow!

So deep, sensitive Kurt decided he "detested" Axl without ever meeting him? Gosh, sounds like a really open-minded guy...good riddance.

In the Robert John book about Guns n' Roses photos, Axl says he hates macho rock. Axl liked Nirvana music so much. So I think Kurt was in an error about Axl.
