funny tidbit - 1992 MTV Video Music Awards - Kurt Cobain vs. Axl

I found this here, prowling around, I thought it was a funny story:

This is an interview done in late 2002 by NFC with Earnie Bailey who
was Nirvana's main guitar technician from 1991 to 1994.

NFC: Can you remember any other funny stories from your days with
Nirvana that you would like to share?

EB: I think the best ones are better kept in the vault, but here's one
that's pretty good:

At the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards Kurt had this well publicized
encounter with Axl Rose [of Guns N' Roses]. After Nirvana played
"Lithium", Kurt went below the stage, where Axl and Elton John's two
pianos were mounted on a hydraulic lift awaiting their duet. Kurt spit
up some pretty nasty stuff upon the keys of what he thought was Axl's
piano, but when the pianos arose for the duet's intro to "November
Rain", Elton was seated at the piano who's keys Kurt had spat upon.
I'm not sure which was funnier, Kurt's horror at what he had done, or
the sight of Elton John hammering away on that piano.
