"The photograph of Kurt Cobain in tears has been extensively published. Tilton watched Cobain smash his guitar through an amplifier and walk offstage. He followed him backstage. The pent-up emotion 'just had to go somewhere,' says Tilton, and Cobain burst into tears. 'What I really love about it is that it is a very real moment, and he allowed it. Other artists would have said, 'Not now, lan, please!' It is very unusual," adds Tilton, "for anyone from a band to show such vulnerability!"
