Cobain Continues: A Kurt Cobain Survives Collaborative Timeline

IOTL, She's not really a grunge fan, and is more into Brit rock acts like Oasis and indie bands like Mercury Rev. Why pop? I dunno maybe to lay down the roots for a sound that can still evolve in to rock.

Good point, though I feel part of that is that she was so depressed her father killed himself when she was so young that she wanted to disassociate herself from the sound. Besides, I read in interviews that she would have been delighted if he didn't die and was able to raise her for a significantly longer period of time, so maybe his positive influence and encouragement doesn't turn her off from grunge and it's seen as a symbol of her adored father's image, rather then a tragic reminder of what potentially took his life. Maybe she plays a mixture?
 
March 17th, 1998: Doused in Mud is released nation-wide. The album receives generally favorable reviews from music critics, who praise the authenticity behind Cobain's lyrics and the auto-biographical nature of several of the songs, as well as the influence of Brian Wilson on the album's sound. "Questions Answered by the Unanswerable", "Internal Domination" and "Will of the Will-less?" all became successful singles, though the album's sales are slightly lower then Mist's. Many critics also express disappointment at the late Brian Wilson being unable to finish his work on the album, which leaves many pondering how the sound would have differed with his involvement.

March 19th, 1998: Cobain announces he is taking a small hiatus from music to focus on his long neglected artwork, which he sorely missed. However, he promises that he will: "Be back to writing kickass songs with grumbling, gasping and other 'guh' sounds", he's known for within a couple years.

May 3rd, 2010: Patrick Cobain, the son of Kurt Cobain and brother of Frances Cobain, releases his first rock album; Liquid Metal. The album receives mixed reviews, with many claiming that Cobain was more influenced by his mother's style then his father's, which he is quick to proudly defend. "Hey, I'm more like Mom, okay? I don't want to discuss complicated emotional ideas and shit like my dad and sister do! Have you ever listened to something like Megadeth? That's what real rock is! Realism, real-life, just being in the moment!"

August 18th, 1998 - Veruca Salt's third album, Resolver, is released.

"This one came really close to not happening," guitarist Louise Post told MTV News. "Jim (Shapiro, drummer) threatened to leave the band because me and Nina (Gordon, lead guitar) were ready to kill each other. Luckily, Lili Taylor stepped in and and managed to talk us all down from the ledge. We managed to scrape through and put this album together, but any of us will tell you that it took a lot of hard work and more than a fair share of booze."

With a recording session that Steve Lack would describe as "Fleetwood Mac's Rumors session mixed with a small riot," Resolver would spawn the well-known tracks Born Entertainer and Officially Dead. Veruca Salt would go on to open for Tabitha's Secret in the North American leg of their 1999 World Tour before a five-year hiatus.
