Perry Farrell on Kurt Cobain: “We had a mutual respect”
Perry Farrell, the imaginative force behind Jane’s Addiction, Porno for Pyros and Lollapalooza, is 
the latest rocker to be asked for an opinion on Kurt Cobain and the Montage of Heck documentary for which he is the subject.
During an interview with Rolling Stone, Farrell didn’t offer an outright opinion on the film apart from saying that the filmmakers are “scraping together things” and that “[Cobain’s] gone now, so you can’t very well ask him to do another take, can you? He’s very high.”
Farrell did have a fondness for Cobain, however, stating: “I thought he was a very gentle soul and who knows what would have become of him had he lived.”
Farrell went on to explain that he met Cobain “briefly,” and that “I got high with him in the basement of the Palace when he came to Los Angeles, and I hung out with him at one of the MTV awards shows…We had a mutual respect.
“I think the cat had the right idea, he had the right attitude,” concluded Farrell. “Except only one thing: I love life. You have to kill me. I will never kill myself. That’s the only difference.”
