Page "Hole (band)" Paragraph 22

Despite the critical praise for Live Through This, furious rumors circulated insinuating that Cobain had actually written the majority of the album, though the band vehemently denies this.

They did, however, state that Love convinced Cobain to provide backing vocals on " Asking for It " and " Softer, Softest " while visiting the studio, and music producers present during the recording sessions noted that Cobain seemed " completely unfamiliar " with the songs.

According to Rolling Stone rock journalist Gavin Edwards, Love and Cobain had written songs together in the past, but opted to not release them because it was " a bit too redolent of John and Yoko ".

Incidentally, Love has revealed that the alternate mix of " Asking for It " featuring Cobain, was planned to be released as a single before his suicide occurred.
