Nirvana 'Nevermind' baby adds new claims to lawsuit against band / Planet Rock

"Spencer Elden, who appeared on Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ cover in 1991 as a four-month-old baby, has reportedly updated his lawsuit against the band.

Rolling Stone reports that Elden has added fresh claims to his updated complaint, which was filed by lawyer Robert Lewis on Monday (22nd November).

According to Rolling Stone, the papers allege that the photographer behind the ‘Nevermind’ artwork, Kirk Weddle, also took pictures of the baby (Spencer Elden) styled to look like late Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

The amended lawsuit says Weddle intended to “trigger a visceral sexual response from the viewer” with the image by triggering “Spencer’s ‘gag reflex’ before throwing him underwater and took photos that highlighted and emphasized Spencer’s exposed genitals.”

The papers add: “Weddle soon after produced photographs of Spencer dressed up and depicted as Hugh Hefner.”

Another amendment quotes Kurt Cobain’s personal journals, which were published by Riverhead Books in 2002 eight years after the rock legend’s death.

“In several instances,” the suit reads, “the journals describe Cobain’s twisted vision for the Never mind (sic) album cover, along with his emotional struggles.”"

To totally contradict and negate his outrage, the article also states that:

"Speaking in 2016, he [Elden] said of the 25th anniversary of ‘Nevermind’: “The anniversary means something to me. It’s strange that I did this for five minutes when I was four months old and it became this really iconic image.”

“It’s cool but weird to be part of something so important that I don’t even remember.”"

Judas Priest - Turbo Lover (Live 2012)



Excellent quality. As an official release you'd think the show would be on dvd.

Marvel and Maiden team up. And the results are shite.

I don't get the point - looks bad

I was in CEX and they had this DVD for a fiver which collects 3 VHS releases. One of which, Under Siege Live in Barcelona was played to death by me when it came out in 1991! Didn’t even have to think twice…

Excellent. I'd definitely have picked that up too.

I stopped looking at the dvd's in CEX when i went Blu. I'd miss something like that.

Must remedy that in future.

I don't generally check the DVD features, but the Music and Special Interest section is next to 'A' on the BluRay section so I always have a quick look. I'm usually just looking for Iron Maiden Death on the Road but I have a proper look to make sure there isn't anything else good there!
