It isnât 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.

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.

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.

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.

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