Together, Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, and Krist Novoselic comprised the band Nirvana. With releases like Nevermind (Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come as you Are, Something in the Way) and In Utero (Heart-Shaped Box), they exploded in popularity. Later, Dave would go on to form the Foo Fighters and have his own hits like Everlong, My Hero, and the Pretender. So, why didn't Dave ever show Kurt his music? Well, he did. As shown the 2014 HBO docuseries 'Sonic Highways'.

Marigold (written and performed by Dave) was on the B-side of the Heart Shaped Box single, so Kurt definitely heard that one

It isn’t just Alone + Easy Target, there we three other songs that Kurt is known to have heard. The others being Exhausted which was on the same tape as Alone + Easy Target. In addition there's Scentless Apprentice which began life thanks to Grohl (he wrote some of the guitar parts and all of the drum parts) and successfully made it as a song on In Utero, as well as Marigold which made it on to the Heart-Shaped Box single.

and to beat a dead horse which I'm sure has been liquified before reading the comments, they did record Marigold

I think Cobain heard are "Alone + Easy Target", "Big Me" and "Exhausted", all of which are part of the Foo Fighters' debut album. I'm sure Dave was worried that Kurt would think that he was thinking of doing a separate project from the band. At the same time Dave admired Kurt a lot and I think he was afraid that Cobain would be upset with him if he decided to start any personal project.

Yes dave wrote the scentless apprentice riff and kurt was going to let him write more. That first foo fighters album some of the guitar riffs would have definitely been on nirvana songs if kurt didn’t pass.

Also, on the different Howard Stern interview, he said that he pitched a song to him and he liked it, but he didn’t want to change the lyrics

Yes you do. There’s a clip of Pat speaking of a time he and Kurt walked passed a room and heard dave playing and say somehting on the lines of “he’s better than both of us..”

Dave did get 1 track on a Nirvana release. I cant recall which release, without looking. I believe the track was Marigold.

Kurt was very supportive of everyone writing music, Kurt really was super funny and nice dude and it's a shame we lost him.

According to a previous interview I read (think it was Rolling Stone) he had said he played Kurt a few songs. Kurt liked them and wanted to do them as Nirvana songs, but then he sadly passed away. It was after that, that Dave took his little demo tape and started marketing it which eventually became the first Foo Fighters album.

The way Dave talks about Kurt's writing in interviews, I imagine Dave knew his role in Nirvana very well, and knew it wasn't the songwriter. I doubt he was scared to share his music with Kurt. He just knew what he was sharing, for the most part, was going to be it's own thing. If Kurt was still alive, Foo Fighters probably would have still happened either as a side project to Nirvana or in the aftermath of the inevitable break-up.

Dave Grohl released a tape of his own music in 1992 , I'm sure Kurt heard it

Alone + Easy Target is a song I could totally imagine Nirvana playing.

I think Kurt despite his issues in his latter years, he would have loved Grohl's music and been a very supportive friend.

I recall reading back in the late 90s that Kurt was super supportive of Dave's writing and heard the original recording of the foo fighters first album and loved it. Kurt was also creating outside of Nirvana during 1993-1994 (for example his work with with Mark Lanegan). Kurt was over Nirvana near the end and wanted to branch out and he was super supportive of his friends doing the same.
