Soundgarden Star Almost Joined Nirvana
. "Well, I was supposed to play lead guitar for them. But they stayed a three piece," Shepherd tells Denver Westword's Backbeat. "I knew them before they were a band, too. Chad [Channing] never told Kurt [Cobain] that I played guitar, even though the first time Kurt and I met, we were at a party in Olympia, and we were the two loners on the end of the couch, and there was a guitar there. "I would always find a guitar at a party because I didn't like parties much. So I would find the guitar and space off by myself, you know? Kurt was the same way, so we wound up sharing a guitar that night, an acoustic that was there." "Then our paths went different ways. Chad, my old friend, we were in a band together, and I was the singer for a band," he said. Shepherd continued to connect with future Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, sharing the same stages and shows; along the way, he provided the link to the band securing drummer Channing, two years before they brought in Dave Grohl. more on this story hennemusic is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
