Rock Music History

Temple of the King is indeed by Rainbow, the hard rock band formed by Ritchie Blackmore after leaving Deep Purple. It's from their 1975 debut album Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow. Deep Purple, Dio, and CCD (likely Creedence Clearwater Revival miswritten) didn't record this song.

Dave Mustaine was Metallica's first lead guitarist, joining in 1981 after the band placed an ad. He was fired in 1983 due to substance abuse and personality conflicts, then formed Megadeth. Kirk Hammett replaced him and remains with Metallica today.

Kurt Cobain consistently cited 'Raw Power' by The Stooges as his favorite album in his journals and interviews. Incesticide is a Nirvana compilation, not an album by another artist, and Sandinista! by The Clash was never mentioned as his favorite.

This question asks about Kurt Cobain's first flatmate during his early life in Aberdeen, Washington. The answer refers to a specific biographical detail from Cobain's pre-fame period.

Kurt Cobain did spend time living under the Young Street Bridge in Aberdeen, Washington during his homeless period. This experience directly inspired the song 'Something In The Way' from Nirvana's 1991 album Nevermind, which references this period.

Kurt Cobain received his first guitar as a gift from his uncle Chuck. The guitar was purchased from Rosevear's Music Center in Aberdeen, Washington, which was a local music store where young musicians would buy instruments. This fact is documented in biographies about the Nirvana frontman.

Michael DeWitt, a former nanny for Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, was reported to be the last person to see Cobain alive on April 1, 1994, at their Lake Washington home. Cobain's body was discovered days later. Dylan Carlson was a friend who helped buy the shotgun, Danny Goldberg was his manager, and Courtney Love was his wife.

Kurt Cobain's suicide note was addressed to 'Boddah,' which was his imaginary childhood friend. The letter begins with 'To Boddah,' and discusses his struggles with fame and addiction. It was not addressed to Courtney Love (his wife), Frances Bean (his daughter), or Dylan Carlson (his friend).

Kurt Cobain famously ended performances of 'Stay Away' with 'God Is Gay' while touring with Guns N' Roses in 1991-1992, as Nirvana was their opening act. This was part of Cobain's provocative stage presence and rebellion against mainstream rock culture. Iron Maiden, Sex Pistols, and Pixies were not bands that Nirvana toured with during that period.

Every Time I Die is a song by Children of Bodom from their 1999 album Hatebreeder. The band is a prominent Finnish melodic death metal group known for this track among metal enthusiasts.

Zombie is a protest song by The Cranberries released in 1994, written about the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It became one of their most iconic and politically significant hits.

Children Of Bodom, the Finnish melodic death metal band, recorded 'Nymphetamine' which showcases their signature aggressive yet melodic style. The song exemplifies their unique sound that gained them international recognition in the metal scene. COB is known for their technical proficiency and dark lyrical themes.

"Turn the Page" is originally by Bob Seger, released in 1973 on his album "Back in '72". It became his signature song and was later covered by Metallica in 1998. Bob Marley was a reggae artist, Jimi Hendrix was a psychedelic rock guitarist, and Led Zeppelin was a hard rock band - none recorded this song.
