“In Utero didn’t turn out as planned and Kurt had mixed feelings about it. He [Kurt] bought four Polaroid cameras and wanted to shoot the photos of us for the album cover himself. They were going to be really…. artsy. We told Danny [Nirvana’s manager] and he digged the idea but said it wasn’t going to fly. They [Geffen] wanted a commercial album like Nevermind but bigger. Kurt always kid around by saying he was going to walk into David Geffen’s office one day and hold a gun to his head until he agreed to what he wanted. After the album was released most of the photoshoots we did had Kurt with a gun in his hand. People thought it was because he was giving subliminal messages. It was Kurt’s way of saying ‘fuck you Geffen!’. Sure, yeah, at the time it was an inside joke so no one understood it but we did and so did David Geffen. He [Kurt Cobain] was pissed that every idea he had would be shot down. He started to feel powerless at the label.” - Krist Novoselic on the In Utero era -- source link
