8. Kiss Appear On The Back Cover
The back cover of the album features a combination of bizarre photography that Cobain shot and collaged together during his primitive years as an artist and songwriter. It features a rubber monkey depicted as being in hell. But, if you look very closely (and squint) you can see above the monkeys head a picture of Kiss 1976 album, Destroyer. Trust me, you really have to look for it, and it is a little blurred, but I can assure you its there. Kiss was one of Cobains favourite bands as a child and we guess Destoyer was one of his personal favourite releases by the make-up wearing hard rock band. The guitarist clarified this sighting once in a interview saying, If you look real close, theres a picture of Kiss in the back, standing on a slab of beef. Kiss standing on a slab of beef, theres a sentence you dont say every day.
