I should probably add to this...the guitar that was auctioned was the one from the Smells Like Teen Spirit video. Owner of the Colts bought it.

Brings to mind the old saying: “A fool and his money are soon parted” Neither Eric Clapton’s Fender “Blackie” Strat or SRV’s Fender “Lenny” Strat brought near that much. And both are far more valuable than that POS Fender Mustang Cobain hacked away on.

And both are far more valuable than that POS Fender Mustang Cobain hacked away on. There's likely some inflation on that as Irsay is a big fan of where this money was going to as well. Many can debate the merits of who was a better guitar player but Nirvana (along with some others) essentially killed an entire DECADE worth of glam/hair metal. They're musically significant. Clapton (and I'm a huge fan) didn't kill an entire genre of music. Neither did Stevie (my fav guitarist of all time) Adjusted for inflation - Blackie goes for $1,468,502.31 Adjusted for inflation - Lenny goes for $954,258.66 Lenny not being SRV's main guitar - understandable it wouldn't command uber pricing. Also - paying monster sums for collectables in 2004 - was that even a "thing"?

While the auction is about a guitar, it's as much (if not more) symbolic of Nirvanna's cultural significance. And this wasn't a ridiculous spend for Jim Irsay - he likely had half the amount of purchase price in loose change between his furniture cushions.

Smells Like Teen Spirit was the first real alt/grunge song I remember getting any radio play. Top 9 at 9 on WIXX. I had gotten introduced to Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins by older kids at school prior to hitting the radio. Had Nevermind on tape pretty early... was blown away to hear Nirvana on the radio. Moved on to Pearl Jam, STP etc. Culturally significant for sure.

LOL Never heard of him. But I do know that everyone I knew that liked grunge “music” were a bunch of dope smoking Fuqking losers. Cobain couldn’t have held SRV or EC’s guitar pick. Just another no talent hack. Only good thing he ever did was suck start that 12 gauge.
