Figured this deserved it's own thread rather than being relegated to the Wiener Wallet thread. Riley Hawk is dating Frances Bean Cobain. When I found out yesterday it actually blew my mind. Whether you like either of the dads or their offspring, this is undoubtedly pop culture royalty here.

Hope Courtney doesn't get invited to dinner.

Well this is actually adorable. Kudos to them.

Watch your back, Riley. BPD is inherited and El Duce’s lurking…

I thought the dessert was erotic cake at first glance which would be Baker of him.
How much of the Nirvana royalties go to her?

Frances Bean is thought to have a total net worth of approximately $200 million (£145.4 m), according to Celebrity Net Worth, most of which is waiting for her when she turns 30. People magazine reported that Frances also receives nearly $100,000 (£72.6k) a month from her father's estate.

Do you think Frances makes him change out of his Black Sabbath tees when they go out to eat?

That looks nothing like the Riley I saw in a Thrasher video yesterday...he changed his entire style overnight?

She really does look like a mix of both her parents. Congrats to this couple...

Also of note: Danny Way and Tony Hawk have sons that are roommates in college over in Boulder, Colorado.

First thing I thought was "Huh, guess this must be Riley's brother." Riley Hawk looks completely different without the long hair.
-
The Hawks seem to be a decently adjusted family. Happy for both of them, especially for her.
-
Decently adjusted outside of Tony being a serial adulterer, sure.
Frances is super cute, and apparently super rich, good for Riley. Riley now looks like a general contractor’s son who’s never touched a drill but gets paid $100k/year to drive a $100k pickup truck around as a “project manager”.

Man, this is honestly a pretty big jump up; I'm not seeing bagel bites in any of those pictures.

High divorce rates are now normal, and cheating is the Hollywood equivalent of picking up the kids at the daycare so I don't see anything out of the ordinary here.
Cobain probably feels like she just entered Narnia after a lifetime of chaos.

I agree divorce is pretty normal now - but 3-4 times is definitely not normal.

I mean, compared to Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain, I would say the Hawk's are decently adjusted. My co-worker used to be Riley's babysitter and all her dirt was pretty mild.
I know nothing about Frances Bean, but Courtney has glaring BPD and I wouldn't be surprised if she has some traits. Regardless, it's dope she's rocking that green cardigan.

to be fair, he was wearing a nirvana shirt with a very ‘kurt cobain style’ haircut. he was kurt for halloween. he skated to nirvana. he probably had to change a little in order for her to not date a cardboard copy of her father. good for them though, they both look/seem very happy. at least he won’t go and steal/sell her father’s guitar if they ever split like the last guy.

Possibly. Their blend names are based on music puns.
And I fucks with Steel Mill coffee, so if they did do a Frances' Bean Blend, I'd pick up a bag.

Watson made a thread about a comment i made, i can die a happy man. In hindsight i regret not making it a thread instead resurrecting that other thread which i agree is fairly creepy.
*genuine, non sarcastic comment made by a fellow Canadian
Damn Tony Hawk's son landed Kurt's daughter, that explains how he was able to clear Scentless Apprentice for Baker 4.
Imagine having that psychopathic murderer for a potential mother in law?!?

Are you referring to the Cold Call video where T. Hawk broke his finger? I think that was from at least summer 2020 - he did some kind of charity fundraiser related to the x-ray of it back then.
But yeah, I was sorta thrown off by the short hair - guess he hasn’t really been out there too much coverage-wise, as far as I can tell.

Well, we're way down in the standings, but our best defender's been hurt all season and half the team's been out on COVID protocol. You know what? You're right - once we have everyone back, we can definitely sneak in and fuck up the Knicks and Sixers yet again

I was down at Steel Mill the other day and I was fanning out a little because Riley was in the corner with some buddies and I overhear him say "Sometimes, when I'm fucking her, I think to myself I'm Tony Hawk's son, and I'm fucking Kurt Cobain's daughter. I blast straight away everytime. Everytime." He had said the last everytime with his upper body occupying the better part of the small coffee table he and his buddies were leaning back around. His index finger pressed firm against the top, as if to emphasise the point. As Riley sat back, he said "Evertime" as if only for himself, with a meaning that startled him. He really was Riley Hawk. And then I realised I was Riley Hawk. I was Riley Hawk and all the confidence and expectation that went with that when all I really want to do is own a coffee shop and find someone else who is the child of a counter cultural icon and fall in love and dress like I am in creedence and hang with you guys right here in my coffee shop. And then the DMT/Sativa joint i had been smoking wore off and I woke up on the roof of my Amsterdam house boat airbnb.

Had no idea Kurt and Courtney had a daughter, they look happy good for them.

I was a wittle kid when nirvana was on tv and stuff, so maybe because “grunge” music was already defined I found them super boring. They were always on the radio
Seems like they’re becoming popular with younger kids again although it could just be the shirt that’s cool. Anyway I tried to listen to them recently and they’re even more trash than I remember. If anyone can recommend one decent song they did thanks

I dunno, it changes a lot. I like Negative Creep cuz it's really obvious Melvins worship. I think my favorite record of theirs is In Utero because the final product sounds like something they actually wanted. It's gritty and gross but still has some great pop sensibility and the songwriting feels refined. Nevermind is probably the most fun album to listen to but, probably like yourself, that's all I really heard when I was introduced to Nirvana so I don't put it on as much as I did as a kid.

The Tony Hawk Pro skater remake was coming out and Vans wanted Tony’s character to adorn Vans shoes, plus, Tony wanted that Vans check so it was a win, win for both parties

The other grandparent, the most important white person of the late 90’s, who sold out to corporations as a way to evangelize skateboarding globally.
He might come out looking like the dude from Powder!

Uhh, that song is a The Wipers cover and it's quite close to the original too, despite being a radio session recording. So that drum beat comment is a bit asinine

this was the song that got me hyped on them in 90 when i was 17. not sure how old you are but it sounds like younger than me if they were on the radio when you were a kid. when the came out it was a different time, there was no internet and to learn about new music you had to spend 16 bucks a pop on CDs or borrow CDs from friends so generally the music you listened too reflected your circle of friends. there was way worst shit to be listening to and people to be chilling with at the university i was at than nirvanna, pixies, fugazi, sonic youth, etc... other people were listening to janet jackson, hootie the blowfish, spin doctors and all kinds of awful shit at the time

Seems like they’re becoming popular with younger kids again although it could just be the shirt that’s cool. Anyway I tried to listen to them recently and they’re even more trash than I remember. If anyone can recommend one decent song they did thanks
cool dude
What’s your favorite nirvana song?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=skNDBE1Pibc
They sound straight out of a Capri-sun commercial to me. I’m 90% sure I’ve heard that exact drum beat in a fruit roll ups ad. Nirvana is a parody of themselves. He sounds like a disgruntled tractor trailer driver who smokes a pack of cigs a day and drinks a pot of coffee.
Uhh, that song is a The Wipers cover and it's quite close to the original too, despite being a radio session recording. So that drum beat comment is a bit asinine
(And to add, the Wipers is pretty much the greatest, one of those bands that could be your life.)
Didn’t know it was a cover I just can’t stand Dave grohl and nirvana has some of the simplest drum beats ever. Gunna check the wipers out tho thanks!!! Also I’ll stop posting but my dislike for nirvana is a hill I’m willing to die on
Yeah but that's the style of music, it's not gonna work with the Purdie shuffle.

I think there was something where her ex-bf claimed that courtney love threatened to have him murdered or something, over a guitar. That's my only reservation about it all. Other than that, I think it's awesome.

Being honest, I don't think I've ever really listened to Nirvana. Obviously heard some of their "hits" but never a fan
-
I was down at Steel Mill the other day and I was fanning out a little because Riley was in the corner with some buddies and I overhear him say "Sometimes, when I'm fucking her, I think to myself I'm Tony Hawk's son, and I'm fucking Kurt Cobain's daughter. I blast straight away everytime. Everytime." He had said the last everytime with his upper body occupying the better part of the small coffee table he and his buddies were leaning back around. His index finger pressed firm against the top, as if to emphasise the point. As Riley sat back, he said "Evertime" as if only for himself, with a meaning that startled him. He really was Riley Hawk. And then I realised I was Riley Hawk. I was Riley Hawk and all the confidence and expectation that went with that when all I really want to do is own a coffee shop and find someone else who is the child of a counter cultural icon and fall in love and dress like I am in creedence and hang with you guys right here in my coffee shop. And then the DMT/Sativa joint i had been smoking wore off and I woke up on the roof of my Amsterdam house boat airbnb.
This.

i've often thought that online reviews should include something like this. i saw a review where a guy slammed radiohead and then when i dug into his other articles there were ones that favored puddle of mud.

Once Nevermind came out, it was a major cultural shift, but nowhere was it more noticeable than in the music of Capri Sun commercials, a genre that was long overdue for a revitalization. Basically, Nirvana is the reason many of you were conceived.

I will never forget when 14 yo me listened to the weekly rock show on the radio on Wednesday evening (the only time they played heavy rock music on the radio) and they played Smells Like Teen Spirit and Breed from Nevermind that had just came out. I was literally blown away, in particular by Breed. That was something completely new and I just felt I was witnessing something big. The second time this happened was when I listened to the RATM debut album a year later. Those two records changed the musical landscape for years to come. Most heavy/thrash metal bands either switched to grunge and/or what was to become Nu Metal or they just disappeared. Of course that sucked but I still love both Nevermind and the RATM s/t.
What does this have to do with the topic of this thread? Not much I guess. Sorry.

It was a time and a place. I catch myself talking about them like old burnouts talk about zeppelin.
Nirvana was a huge cultural shift. Single hand-idly killed rock ballads and most of the other bullshit at the time.
I was lucky enough to see nirvana(with the butthole surfers) and RATM at lollapalooza before i hit high school.

takes like this are always interesting to me because i remember reading an interview when i was like 14 with Ian Mackaye and he was asked whether he liked touring in the days of Minor Threat or Fugazi more. he said that back when he was doing the MT thing, you could go to alabama and the kids would look and act this way and then the next day be in aexas or california or where ever and every place had its own certain style. Then MTV came out and nirvana got famous and all of a sudden it was cool to be a weirdo and wearing flannels became acceptable.
i don't really feel strongly one way or the other towards nirvana and don't really get the excessive love or hate, espeically from younger people

also i'd say record company and media execs pushed the alternative stuff way more than kids naturally gravitated to alternative music. nirvana wasn't the most original band [the pixies comparison for instance] but they were force fed to everyone. and 'alternative nation' so we'd accept 'alternative lifestyles'. it's all contrived. from beatlemania to grunge 'killing hair metal'.

The way the story gets told over and over again, it's made to seem like Nirvana just organically emerged and replaced hair metal on the top of the charts. By 1990, rock music was dead - the best selling "rock" albums that year were Midnight Oil (cool, good), Jimmy Barnes (who?), and Roxette (lol). The truth is that the gas was out of the tank on the genre, and the only survivor was going to be G&R. Record companies found something else, which they knew "rock fans" broadly would enjoy and which they could use to wash the taste of Aqua Net out of the public's mouth.
Nirvana got a big record deal, recorded in a real studio with an important, young music producer, and received an even marketing bigger push from the label. They were not some plucky upstart who were hand-mailing their homemade demos to radio stations until they got a hit, they are the result of a concerted effort by some of the biggest names in the music industry to introduce a new style of rock in order to replace one which was stagnant and failing. That's not to take anything away from them, because that's how success in the music industry typically works, and the music stands up pretty well, even if I was never a huge fan.

Ironically Metal was still on the rise by then, right? Like the early death/thrash bands were the ones mailing cassetes and by the 90s Death was releasing Human and Pantera was coming up hard.

Yeah. They were slated to play in ‘94, but Kurt’s problems made them miss it, and instead a lesser-known band called Green Day filled in for them.
RATM didn’t play that year either, if I recall.
It was Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, the Breeders, A Tribe Called Quest, Gearge Clinton, Nick Cave, and others.

People love to rewrite that old history lesson that Nirvana killed hair metal, and everyone became grunge, but the truth is that the early 90s just had a ton of rad shit coming out all the time, I was pretty early on the Nirvana train as an 11 year old,I got the cassette dubbed with fudge tunnel on the other side.body count,fugaziseasons in the abyss,Cypress hill, tribe called quest I could go on and on.the first 3or 4 years of the 90s were a mini golden age, especially for music and skateboarding and I'm not just saying that cause I'm old.everybody I've talked to about this, including my mom agrees with me.new shit that was actually rad was coming out left and right
-
Youre just saying that so that you can sell a gang of early 90s cds
-
Haha no, I never liked CD's.loved cassettes because I'm pretty rough with my stuff and what CDs I did have turned to crap in a year or two,I still have a couple cassettes from the late 80s.also I'm happy for Francis because that last Kurt Cobain impersonator she dated from that shitty band was a grade a skeevosa .the Hawks are sitcom level wholesome,I bet that they make regular family Jamba juice trips

The truth is that the gas was out of the tank on the genre, and the only survivor was going to be G&R. Record companies found something else, which they knew "rock fans" broadly would enjoy and which they could use to wash the taste of Aqua Net out of the public's mouth.
Nirvana got a big record deal, recorded in a real studio with an important, young music producer, and received an even marketing bigger push from the label. They were not some plucky upstart who were hand-mailing their homemade demos to radio stations until they got a hit, they are the result of a concerted effort by some of the biggest names in the music industry to introduce a new style of rock in order to replace one which was stagnant and failing. That's not to take anything away from them, because that's how success in the music industry typically works, and the music stands up pretty well, even if I was never a huge fan.
This is the story that the hair metal bands of the time stuck to when asked about their demise. I don’t doubt that the record industry made a pivot of sorts but to say that Nirvana was picked out of a hat and given an undue position is inaccurate. They’d been around since 87. Then broke (wildly) in the fall of 91. Not exactly overnight success. There was a groundswell of acts in the late 80s early 90s that made this pivot a smart move. REM, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Pixies, NIN, Sonic Youth, Mudhoney, Soundgarden etc. all had followings worth leaving hair metal for.

You know how powerful people like Jerry Falwell, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump tend to have failures for children? Like how Don Jr is a warmed over wannabe version of his dad? And how Chelsea Clinton is a washed up version of her mom? And Falwell Jr has singlehandedly tanked his dads fake university?
It would be cool if Riley and Frances could do that for 90s alt culture.

its all weird but i wouldn't say its definitive

That esquire author writes with an anti Courtney voice, but I’m pretty suspicious as well. The Kurt was too high argument and the different hand writing on the note is odd. Two addicts with mental health problems isn’t a good recipe.

Says he’s 5ft 11 and weighs 135. Not sure if that’s true (I put the wrong height on my ID, thought I was gonna grow more lol) but damn that’s lanky. Throw in the Hawk dna lol

This author brings up a lot of talking points around the suicide note, pretty good read

Not sure if another’s hand writing or he just became more erratic as he approached his final moments.
Anyone read any good Kurt biographies? Heavier than Heaven is what that author cites. Seems to be a good one.

I read “come as you are” years before Kurt killed himself. I remember thinking “this guy gonna kill himself, damn.” My brother worked for the local newspaper in the 90’s and called me (landline) to give me updates like when Kurt tried suicide the first time while in Europe. Having read that book; I wasn’t surprised at all and was surprised he made it through. That made it a little easier to digest the news that he killed himself in April. I don’t think Courtney pulled the trigger or whatever, but she exacerbated a suicidal situation on purpose. Too bad he didn’t get older and make more music. He was a huge Beatles fan and I think he would have switched it up as he got older. However, growing old was never part of Kurt’s Cobain’s overall life plan

i read “kurt contain” by christopher sandford a long while ago but it’s always been my source and has always lined up with or out-explained any documentary that has come out in the decade since. frankly, it read like a book that flew under the legal radar that was allowed to speculate more with the facts of the case

It must have been a secular ceremony, considering he lost his religion

Looks like Courtney Love wasn't invited.
