Nirvana, Kurt Cobain's Estate Sued by Baby On 'Nevermind' Album Cover

Nirvana and Kurt Cobain's estate are being sued by the baby from their famous "Nevermind" album cover.

The baby from Nirvana's famous "Nevermind" album art is all grown up ... and now he's suing the band for child sexual exploitation.

A man named Spencer Elden claims he's the naked baby famously pictured in a swimming pool on Nirvana's groundbreaking 1991 album cover ... and he's suing the band, its surviving members and Kurt Cobain's estate, 30 years after the album dropped.

According to a new federal lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Elden claims he could not consent to his image being used on the album art way back in the day, because he was only a 4-month-old baby ... and says his legal guardians didn’t consent to it either.


Elden's going even further ... in his suit, he claims the image is actually child pornography. He also claims the band made a promise to cover his genitals with a sticker but it was never incorporated on the album cover.

According to the docs, Elden claims Kurt, Dave Grohl and the rest of the band failed to protect and prevent him from being sexually exploited ... and he says having his naked baby body plastered on a famous album caused him to suffer lifelong damages.

Elden's going after the band, Kurt's estate and others for damages ... and he wants them to each cough up at least $150,000.

We reached out to reps for Nirvana and Kurt's estate ... so far, no word back.

Didn't come true, but (supposedly) this is a joke Lars Ulrich came up with.

Grohl seems like a pretty decent dude, and even though all the Foo Fighter songs are basically the same tune, I dig some of them. Their cover of Numan's "Down in the Park" is actually pretty decent in my opinion.

Each to their own, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Mine is, fuck dave grohl, he's a floppy haired, toothy cunt and a grifter. He played drums to a primary school level, then swapped to bass and guitar and singing. The guy is such a grifting cunt that he can't spend too long playing the same instrument otherwise people would figure out that he's a grifting cunt.

MATI? I've held this opinion since high school.

Wasn't this all the same shit Sonic Youth and possibly Flipper! had been doing since 1979 or so? (I think even down to the whole flannel shtick.) This sort of music has never been my cup of tea so maybe I'm wrong.

Yes it is, Cobain said Flipper was his favorite band and Krist Novoselic played bass for them when their bass player decided to go to the rehab in the sky

 

[Chan the Wizard]

If... if the picture is so traumatic and child porn-ey, does he fucking realize that he could just...IDK...NOT MENTION the picture? Like, it's an infant! He could be in the same room crowded with other people and that album and NO ONE WOULD KNOW if he didn't fucking mention it.

He bragged about using it as a pickup line and asking women if they want to see it now.
He’s just a failed adult and is desperate for a cash payout.
Though the adults in his life have failed him because after his interview as a teen, they should have told him not to base his entire life over the Nirvana album.

You have a point, Rick Astley does his stuff better.

I only got into the Foos late, and then, only a few songs, so I won't argue with your tastes, just that everything I've heard about Dave points to him being a pretty stand up dude. He treats other musicians with respect, doesn't ego-crash, and plus, Tom Petty tried to snag him as a drummer (there's a performance of him playing with the band on SNL), so he can't suck that bad. Also, way back, I actually had friends who went and smoked up at his house in Virginia. Anecdotal shit is anecdotal shit, but I think the dude is OK. Plus, I mean, his first big band's lead hero'd himself, and they had to deal with the cunt wife. Actually, as I re-read what you typed, are you sure you didn't mean to say "Courtney"?

Not trying to win you over, so much as saying maybe reconsider a little.

Now, that poser from Green Day, there's a right cunt all around. Fucker's put out a whiny bitch album every time a meanie gets elected president. Plus, his dick's so small he could do a Nirvana album cover naked and people would get charged for liking cheese pizza for buying it.

 

[Dysnomia]

...the irony is that sticker would have said 'If you are offended by this, then you are a pedophile'.
...that is exceptiona logic, though.

I think it would be because the sticker was covering the part the pedos wanted to see, therefore offending them.

 

[Clockwork_PurBle]

Has the ten year old from the Virgin Killer album art sued yet?

I didn't know what that was so I looked it up and God almighty.

seemed fine with it 5 years ago even wanted to go nude
Seems like a recurring grift … “Elden did the same thing 10 years ago, in honor of the album’s 15th anniversary.” Must be the 30th anniversary of this hunk of shit?

Nirvana baby recreates iconic album cover 25 years later

The naked swimming baby from the cover of the groundbreaking Nirvana album “Nevermind” re-enacted the image for the record’s 25th anniversary — this time wearing clothes. Spencer Elden,…

nypost.com

He has a Nevermind tattoo. He was ok enough with it to permanently display the album title on his body.

Methinks he thought he could use the album cover as a career option and it didn't work out. He's tried to contact the surviving members of Nirvana many times. Maybe they are ignoring him for a reason. Maybe he's loony tunes.

I didn't know what that was so I looked it up and God almighty.

Amazing that you can legally own CP. I wonder how many pedos who didn't even like Scorpions bought the album just so they could fap to the cover. Remember, it was harder to get access to CP then.

Diaper commercials used to show bare baby butts. Eventually they stopped because pedos.

 

[Kill Your Idols]

I don't know what's funnier, the fact that Spencer thinks that any photo of a nude baby qualifies as sexual exploitation and tons of parents are implicitly involved in child pornography, or that being photographed while dunked in a pool for two seconds as a baby constitutes about $2.25 million in royalties and damages.

Dude's mad he can't just call up Dave and Krist for favors whenever he feels like it as if he's some shadow fourth member of Nirvana.

Allow me to add a complementary quote from another article on the same topic:

Mr Elden told Time that he had considered suing the band before.

“Everyone involved in the album has tons and tons of money,” he said. “I’m living in my mum’s house and driving a Honda Civic.

“It’s hard not to get upset when you hear how much money was involved,” he said. “[When] I go to a baseball game and think about it: ‘Man, everybody at this baseball game has probably seen my little baby penis.’ I feel like I got part of my human rights revoked.”

‘Man, everybody at this baseball game has probably seen my little baby penis.’

If this isn't random.txt worthy i don't know what is.

Either the price of meth went up or his student loans are a few months late.

Or both...

Dude's mad he can't just call up Dave and Krist for favors whenever he feels like it as if he's some shadow fourth member of Nirvana.

Or could it be that he's mad cuz his penis isn't any bigger than it was in that album cover???

How about Mariora Goschen, who was 11 and coerced into posing nude for the cover of Blind Faith's self titled first album and got paid $40.

I doubt Kurt even bothered singing the correct lyrics when singing it live. The song is tailor made for bullshitting.

Eh. Cobain knew he was a hack. Go listen to 80s by Killing Joke. Between that, Flipper, and about a dozen other punk acts from the 70s and 80s, Nirvana was practically a cover band. I think one of the reasons he offed himself was he knew he couldn't keep the charade up for another dozen or so albums superfame would require.

Grohl pisses me off for one major reason with nothing to do about music: he's an AIDS denialist, and was a friend of porn starlet Christine Maggiore who literally murdered her own daughter with the AIDS virus. No I'm not abusing "literally", I'm too old for that. Go look it up. She killed her own daughter with the AIDS she had. And then blamed middle America. Then she died. Then her porn star husband died. IDK what happened to her other kids that she had before she got interested in virally induced infanticide.
But Grohl was a big fan of the whole "HIV doesn't cause AIDS, AZT causes the symptoms that you die from."

Fuck him.

 

[Haramburger]

I hope he wins and Dave Grohl becomes bankrupt. Fuck Nirvana and everything they spawned.

No edglord, i just think they're shit.

The Beatles, Led Zepplin & Yes are all gay. Doesn't feel so good, does it?

There was a stickered version of that album cover, though. As well as one with the baby carrot edited out later on.

 

[Kugelsak Kastengrus 6th]

This guy is clearly getting legal advice from Russell Greer. His case will not hold up, especially with all the evidence to the contrary.

Ditto to this. Grohl's metal album Probot is fucking amazing. Did an entire album with his favorite metal singers with the songs in their signature styles instead of making it his own thing, and even did a bonus track with Jack Black called "I Am the Warlock". Exposed me to a fair few bands I hadn't listened to yet like Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, Cathedral and King Diamond. Would've loved him to do the planned song with Chuck Billy of Testament, but Chuck was going through cancer treatment at the time and Grohl never got around to doing a second album.

To get this back on topic, this guy is gonna get laughed out of court the same way that Michael Jackson dancer (want to say Wade Robson. It was one of the chucklefucks in the Finding Neverland video) did. You don't get to sue your meal ticket after defending them for years.

I know i have the CD some where in my depo, but what version i don't know.

I think it is the one where the penis is edited out, but i don't know. I should look, but i cant be bothered.
