Today in 1989, Nirvana had their first European show in Riverside, Newcastle. Someone in the audience threw a beer bottle, which hit Krist on the side of his head. After being hit with a flying beer bottle by a kind fan, & frustration from a broken amp, Novoselic slams his bass down and breaks the neck. The snapped-off neck went right through one of the speakers in Kurt’s rented Twin Reverb amp.
