  • Dylan Carlson (born 1968) is the lead guitarist, lead singer, and only constant member of the Drone doom group Earth. He was a friend of Nirvana vocalist and guitarist Kurt Cobain. Carlson was born in Seattle, Washington, United States. His father worked for the Department of Defense, and, as a result, as a child he moved quite frequently, living in Philadelphia, Texas, New Mexico, and New Jersey, before coming back to live in Washington state. He had first become interested in being a rock musician at age 15, inspired by bands such as Molly Hatchet, AC/DC, and Black Sabbath. He also cites The Melvins, and composers La Monte Young and Terry Riley as major influences on his music. It was in Olympia, Washington that he met Slim Moon, Greg Babior, Dave Harwell and Joe Preston, with whom he would later form Earth. During this time, he would often make "sonic collages" with his then roommate Kurt Cobain, whom he had introduced to heroin, and future Bikini Kill member Tobi Vail. From 1991 to 1996, Earth had an ever-changing lineup. Carlson attributes a lack of (full-length) studio album recordings from 1997 to 2005 to "legal and drug problems". While addicted and dope sick, Carlson purchased the shotgun with which Kurt Cobain committed suicide, though Cobain gave him the money so he could get well. Carlson has said that he did not believe Cobain to be suicidal at the time, and that Cobain had told him that the gun was for home protection. Carlson was one of the many people interviewed in the Nick Broomfield documentary Kurt & Courtney (1998). He states he regrets appearing in the film, saying "I was misled about his intentions."
  • Dylan Carlson est le guitariste du légendaire groupe de rock expérimental Earth. Il était notamment très ami avec Kurt Cobain à qui il avait acheté une arme (arme avec laquelle Kurt Cobain se serait suicidé). Earth et la personnalité de Dylan Carlson ont eu une grande influence sur les groupes de drone doom actuels comme Sunn O))).
  • Era inoltre un amico del cantante dei Nirvana Kurt Cobain. Carlson è nato a Seattle, Washington, Stati Uniti. Suo padre lavorava per il Dipartimento della Difesa Statunitense e per quella ragione, Dylan da bambino si trasferì svariate volte, vivendo a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Texas, New Mexico e New Jersey, prima di ritornare a vivere nello stato di Washington. La prima volta che pensò di diventare un musicista fu all'età di 15 anni, ispirato da gruppi come Molly Hatchet, AC/DC e Black Sabbath. Egli stesso ha citato The Melvins, e compositori come La Monte Young e Terry Riley tra le maggiori influenze nella sua musica. Nella città di Olympia, Washington Dylan incontrò Slim Moon, Greg Babior, Dave Harwll and Joe Preston, con cui avrebbe formato successivamente gli Earth. Durante questo periodo, Dylan era solito creare "collages sonori" insieme al suo successivamente compagno di stanza Kurt Cobain, il quale lo introdusse all'eroina, e alla futura componente delle Bikini Kills, Tobi Vail. Dal 1991 al 1996, gli Earth cambiarono numerose volte formazione. Carlson attribuisce l'assenza di album registrati in studio tra il 1997 e il 2005 a "problemi legali e di droga". Fu Carlson che procurò la pistola con cui Kurt Cobain si suicidò. Carlson ha dichiarato che di non essere a conoscenza delle intenzioni suicide di Cobain, e che Kurt gli disse che la pistola gli serviva per difesa personale. Carlson è stato una delle tante persone intervistate nel documentario Kurt & Courtney diretto da Nick Broomfield nel 1998. Dylan ha dichiarato in seguito di essere rammaricato per aver preso parte al film, dichiarando "Sono stato fuorviato dalle sue reali intenzioni".
  • Dylan Carlson, född 1968 är gitarrist och ledsångare i doom metal-gruppen Earth. Han var bäste vän med Nirvanas frontman Kurt Cobain. Enligt Nick Broomfield är han tillägnad Nirvanas låt "In Bloom". Carlson medger i en intervju att han fick pengar av Kurt Cobain för att köpa det hagelgeväret Cobain begick självmord med, dock utan att ana att denna var självmordsbenägen då Cobain sade att den var till för beskydd.
