Before the divorce!! Main point was that the divorce ruined him, idk why this comment has so much likes it paints a different picture that he liked the divorce.
Calls number* "yeah hi, I got a question, are we related by any chance? who am I? well, that is what I am trying to figure out madam. Sooo do you know?" lady hangs up* "hello.. Hellooo?"
If you submit to the suicide theory, that's fine. I did too. But I challenge you to do this. Watch Soaked in Bleach on Netflix start to finish. Then reply to this thread and let us know if you think the suicide theory still holds up and why. We all have a limited view of the world around us and that's what shapes each of our own unique perspectives. It's pretty difficult to see with your eyes shut, I think that much we can all agree on. Well truth isn't seen thru the eyes. The "truth", is an evolving ideal that takes shape within the mind. Open up your mind and you just might see how distorted your view of the world really is. RIP Kurt Cobain
Totally sad. My parents divorced when I was sixteen and I didn't think that it had any kind of noticeable negative impact on my sister and I's life till years later. And it turns out that.... it FUCKED US UPPP!!!! It really did though. I'm going to do my damnedest to ensure that first off, I truly choose a good one. Second I will do everything in my power to make it work, unless it's negatively affecting the kids. I think that why kids born in the 90's are so often single or at least not making the relationships super serious and how we're very slowly to tie the knot much less have kids at a young age
@@dmitriyk.4991 I feel that's more appropriate to the new Batman. The pain (physical and/or emotional) adds to that message Bruce is trying to get across.
Truth is that after his death a lot of people admire Kurt, but in real life often won`t be paying attention on the person with such type of personality
I don't think people with Kurt's personality loves attention. They just love what they do and inevitably, attention comes along as a package but people like Kurt are born for greatness. They can run but they can't hide from the attentions.
As a young teen I remember being so sad he died and wished I would have died instead so he could be alive. Years later I thought about it and realized how fucking dumb I was. I'm alive and am grateful for every day day I have.
He once said, “if you are racist, sexist, homophobic, or basically just an asshole, don’t buy this cd. I don’t care if you don’t like me, because i HATE you.” Those words struck me and later did i find out that pretty much all the guys i hang out with in highschool are assholes and most of my family except my mom, god i love her to death shes such a good mom
I hear you. I think about organizations like the black congressional caucus or the black chamber of commerce and I'm like sorry that's some asshole stuff right there.
Kurt was a man who fought for the rights of women and LGBT community. He defended victims of bullying and he fought against racism and sexual abuse. Because he had a lot of sensitivity and wisdom. I'm just tired of reading comments like: "he is overrated" or "he was just a depressed junkie". He did many more things for the others than all the people who talks shit about him.
For those of you who want to know how he died, Im not gonna go into detail but kurt was depressed and was on drugs. The man wasnt able to handle having a kid in fear it would have a family life like his. He enjoyed his music but not much else. His wife was pissed with him and was greedy. Some think his wife killed him but shhe beat him up that night.he out of his mind on drugs and depressed, finished the job and she didnt have to do anything. The cops investigating were payed off to close the casem also, read the letter he wrote. Is that really kurts words? No his suicide letter isnt his
I enjoyed the question, “how do you sing?” I don’t think I heard another interviewer ever ask someone that especially with someone like Kurt who has a distinct style of singing. Seems like a question Kurt wanted to answer too.
John Frusciante said on Kurts voice... "the sound of his screaming... I cant think of anybody who's done it so...who's just aah, such a complete celebration of insanity, type scream. It's just a wonderful sound. When i listen to it I think about what it must have felt like to have that sound coming through you."
The part that gets me is when he says how he feels so much better and optimistic. Knowing Frances was born during the time this was recorded, he had to have died within a year or so afterwards. That hurts.
@@urmom-lf1yd @Elsa Hartmann Frances was born the same year that my eldest was born- accept I was a lot younger than Kurt. I don't know the truth of the matter, just the speculation of the pre-internet generation flotsam-which makes me a lazy Gen-Xer, I guess, for not Googling this and making a citation. I remember someone, who I thought was important at the time, saying that the Cobains were a working class family and his Dad was part of the logging industry of the Northwest. When the industry tanked, so did his father get tanked, at home. Mom and Dad started bickering too much and they split. And then this is where the myth of Cobain started cropping up; Manic punkrocker, person who raged against bu11sh1t he saw everywhere, part looney-toons cartoon character who watched his tour van blow up with his bandmates, rags-to-(credit)riches at an early age, responsibilities of numerous people relying on his talent to "entertain us" for their paychecks/livelihoods, (most likely) borderline wife, constant pain, eventual drug adiction, not providing his kid the home life that Cobain so desperately wished that he had, and then the end. Too many pressures on a working-class kid from the Pacific Northwest. We forgive your death Kurt; We constructed you and so, like the death of someone who was murdered on the Ides of March, we all had a hand in your demise.
Father Badger I thought his dad was a mechanic or something with cars. I read that part from Heavier Than Heaven, it’s also in Montage of Heck. The saddest part in that movie is towards the end, when it’s Bean’s first haircut. He’s holding her and nodding out, while Courtney is cutting her hair, and Eric is filming it. We all know he had a drug problem, it was really unnecessary to put in the movie.
@jay You mean the woman that went on an emotional chaotic downward spiral throughout her 1994-95 tour marred by legal troubles and other personal unrest, that involved random emotional talks about Kurt during sets, playing dissonant noise while shouting his name over and over into the mic, punching out Kathleen Hanna of Bikin Kill because she said something about their daughter, wild instigating ravings and fights with fans while on stage, and recklessly throwing herself into crowds (while wearing very little) like she didn't care what happened after Kurt died?
Kurt Cobain is one of the few people I feel I can relate to. Obviously I never knew him, he was dead before I was born, but there is something about this guy that just feels real and genuine. He's a massive inspiration to me and I aspire to be able to stand up for what I believe in as he did.
that's actually how i feel. i feel like i really relate to him and understand him, and then i feel guilty for that bc i am obviously nowhere near the level of a rockstar, nor do i understand what it was like to be him.
I remember seeing that thing about "don't buy my records if you're a homophobe" in the liner notes of Incesticide and thinking how cool that was that he had such good hearted beliefs and had the balls to state it. Kurt was a special guy.
@@danejurus69 I've never really liked people like that tho honestly. People always think that when someone is a homophobe or racist that they're a bad person, and while a lot of the time I find myself getting mad at them too I try to understand that it's because of ignorance. My grandparent was racist but she still was a "Good" guy. She put all of her money into our family and helped raise me when my mom wouldn't. It's all about ignorance, there's an awesome Ted talk with this guy, I forget his name but he's black, and he befriends a KKK member, who was the leader in the surrounding area, and after years of being friends with him and trying to understand him the KKK member gave up the Klan.
I love this interview. It shows us how sensitive and intelligent Kurt was. He wasn't this psycho death rocker that some people made him out to be. He didn't have the maniac ego or macho attitude that a lot of other rock and roll stars had. I mean, how many other big musicians were speaking out against sexism, racism and homophobia? Most wouldn't risk upsetting their fans or losing money. And it wasn't just that Kurt spoke out against those things, you can tell that it really bothered him. I know people are fascinated by Kurt's tragic end and his battle with depression and drug addiction...But what's amazing to me is that, despite all the pain he felt, despite all of his personal demons, he was still a truly empathic and thoughtful person.
If you mean during the grunge/alt rock era I would still vouch to say almost every big musician including Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, Thom Yorke, or Rage Against the Machine. Grunge in general was quite socially political. Some of those musicians listed are or were even more insightful and witty than Kurt. Though I don't see the issue with some musician prioritizing solely on the music and having fun with their fans who go to their shows to escape the bullshit paradigm of reality that hasn't and will never change. Some people prefer the separation between music and state I'm pretty sure the majority of rock stars who are not Ted Nugent condemn bigotry
Wut? He constantly lied in his interviews LMAO especially about heroin but he explained later on he felt like a role model whether he wanted to be one or not so tried to not inspire any dumb teenager to try smack. Shit, he was at the very rock bottom claiming to be completely clean and saying he's the happiest ever while he cut off all of his non junkie friends and then offed himself...
daktothefuture 1 I meant the “trashing of women’s bodies” and homophobia BY rappers who call themselves the next Cobain. It’s obvious that not all rappers say that they are gonna be the next nirvana, but this is just a random swing at a group of artists who you’re hugely generalizing, because a few of them said something sexist. And homophobia is a huge career killer so they pbb didn’t say homophobic shit to begin with.
@@tinyfoxtato8320 maybe because he's a feminists and feminism is trash in the modern era,where if you even say something about a woman feminist get fucking insane about it.
@@dextervortexsungte5348 The idea of beta and alpha males is fucking stupid and you are too if you believe in it. We're human beings not wolves you stupid fuck.
Kurt Cobain is actually a pure sweetie. Now I want to learn so much more about him and even read his biographies and journals. I find him inspirational and open-minded just by watching this little video. He just speaks his mind, so no wonder why people admire him a lot. I respect him. RIP.
Yeah he was seriously one of the most honest people of his time. He was one of the few who was fed up with oppression against women, races and homosexuals. He just wanted peace.
Don't read his journals. Those are put up by Courtney Love to make money and he never wanted them released. So if you read them you're disrespecting him. Buy his music read the lyrics, they're inside the CDs. Buy them used so that she doesn't get a dime by the way.
I’m a high schooler going on the college right now. I feel the exact same way Kurt feels: alone, that no one cares abt you, that you wished your family life was better. But after watching this video I gained a sense of hope that if Kurt was able to feel happy later on in his life, so can I. I’m glad you made this video!
Dont bring yourself down, you are loved even if you dont know it yet. Stay positive, stay healthy and take life lightly (even when everything feels dark, remember that they were many who suffered like you and worse, but they survived by being firm, searching for help and having a good sense of humour) God bless you
@dread true but its hard though. When you become super friendly and positive then they stop chatting or act like u did something wrong. U know like u just dont belong they deny you and all that stuff
He did not fit into this messed up world. A man like him is so rare. He was so sensitive and profound, and he cared too much. He respected women and understood them. And he put up with Courtney. He was lost in the chaos and anesthetized in his pain. And yet, he was probably the most awake and aware of us all.
oh stfu " A man like him is so rare" the thing is no one cares about outsiders like he was, thats why they are seemingly rare because we don't fit in the society
@@Bi6M4C Exactly. I relate a lot to cobain in that I dont fit in anywhere and am considered weird and a potential school shooter. But I go unnoticed because I'm not good looking and talented with the guitar.
alot of people without a platform think the same thing, kinda narrow minded to think that aside from you, kurts the only one who feels like that about humanity
I hung out with Nirvana on September 26,1991,when they played a pals club,The Moon,in New Haven,CT.Kurt was beyond human,he kept going outside the club and bringing in the penniless underage kids,at least 20,who hung out at shows but we're too young or too poor to get in.My pal was pissed,only 168 people paid that night,but I saw a true punk juggernaut in action,Kurt was it.
Kurt Cobain was a "Feminist" in the way every normal person is a Feminist-- a classical Feminist who wants equality for women. It doesn't mean he'd be a 2019 militant Feminazi who demands equity over equality (equality is everyone getting the same opportunity to prove themselves; equity is getting the same result regardless of capability). This is where modern day Feminism has gone off the rails. Kurt could never endorse this ideology because it's a form of unfairness also, albeit dressed up in a new disguise. I promise you this much, if Kurt were still with us today he would not identify with the modern day era of '4th wave Feminism'. It's because above all else, Kurt Cobain was an anti-establishment rebel by nature. He was a rebel waaaay more than he ever was a politically minded individual. Kurt would distance himself from the modern day Feminist ideology because he'd notice that the Left are the ones who have become the powerful establishment figures currently suffocating artistic expression. It's the Left who have assumed cultural power at this point, and have morphed into the same joyless, school-marming, tyrannical Puritans conservatives were during the 1940s-70s. It's the Left who's smothering comedy, art, and music these days. It's the Left who's preventing honest discourse. Don't think for one minute Kurt wouldn't see these things also, and that he wouldn't utterly detest the effect it's having on society-- the same way his fellow punk rock icons Johnny Rotten & Johnny Ramone have. The Bottom Line: Kurt Cobain would be railing against today's political climate as fiercely as he railed against 80s glam metal because opposing the rigid, uptight Left is the new counterculture. It's the new "good fight" for sincere rebels everywhere to take up in order to reclaim freedom of expression.
@@Britton_Thompson Nah, it's just politics growing more toxic as time goes on. For every toxic person on the left, another toxic person sits on the right. Similarly, the government is complete trite because of hard-rightists, while mainstream is trite because of hard-leftists, and both sides are shit because of contrarianism.
I love how Kurt was so whole-heartedly against the "macho rockstar" culture. He hated the fact that most male rockstars were completely sexist and tried too hard to preserve masculinity.
11lululuv Nah, I disagree with Kurt, he sounded kind of like an sjw. Women don't really want men like him, they want the macho rockstars. It's the harsh truth. You may respect women, but will they respect you?
pringelsthegamefreak He was an sjw. He cared about social justice. That's a good thing, no matter what your alt-right gamer culture might have brainwashed you into thinking. And it's established that Nirvana had way more female fans than the more traditionally macho bands in the Seattle scene. So yeah. Not really sure what you're on about.
Lmao you just tell yourself that so you can justify acting like an asshole. Every guy I ever rejected was a macho dickhead and I relished in their bitterness when I chose a sweet compassionate guy who has similar beliefs to Kurt (who I am still with years later). I never regretted rejecting any of those assholes for a second and they are still all acting like the stereotypical egotistical high school jock in their early 20's, still all single, it's sad, they all peaked at around 17 and even then they were pathetic. But they obviously value acting like immature assholes over having human relationships so all of them, and you, can continue to rot alone.
He was so adorable. Whoever got to meet him was very blessed. He seemed so down to earth. To think decades down after his death, Courtney would go out and make a heroine story out of herself and his life.
@@jaegerentertainment6865 ah yes, believing that women and homosexuals should have the same rights as everyone else is indeed pretty wack. I see your point with the heroin addiction tho lmao, but my point was that ppl were hating on him for preaching against hate
@@petersmittens6222 look you sing even old enough to drink so go fuck yourself the 80s and 90s were totally different then the 00s and especially the god awful pussyfied 10s.
as someone who is in constant pain from aortic inflammation throughout my whole chest and stomach, 24 hours a day. Kurt is someone I have always felt connected to. Its such a chore to stay alive. The only reason I dont end it is because my mother lost both of her brothers to suicide. within 5 years. If i did that to her, I dont think she would stay alive herself. So I will remain here as long as she is here.
@@Sndwhikmsic lmao I'm sure your god Kurt wouldn't approve. He certainly was no role model. Also caring so much for women, he should have stuck around for his daughter.
@@jeffcarroll1990shock idk man you're a fool if you think being dumb and depression are the same thing, there's a lot of other things that come into play
it breaks my heart to hear him talk about how well he was doing after his daughter was born, because i'm immediately reminded of his dreadful mysterious death. i don't know what happens after we die but i sincerely hope that he's happy wherever he is because he's one of those people who deserve to be happy more than everyone else.
There is a great Kurt Cobain audio interview like this Blank On Blank interview in a documentary called "Kurt Cobain: About A Son" (2006) Those audio recordings were made by Michael Azazard who had interviewed Kurt for an authorized Nirvana biography book called "Come As You Are: The Story Of Nirvana" (1993) They used hours of recordings of Kurt talking about his life in the documentary.
Yup. Not good for anxiety and depression. There's days that going to the shop and being around so many people/energies puts me into panic attack mode. Some days I can't even leave the house. It's debilitating
I think of "an empath" as a performative term, I'd rather call him "rebel" than anything else, that because we have a social adaptability problem which stems from the way we order things as a society. Everybody has the capability to feel empathy, we just live under material conditions that don't allow us to do so He's a rebel beacuse he was living under a pain he wasn't supposed to be in... we all live under unfair pain, and talking personal responsibility before systemic responsibility is sum cruel bullshit fam uwu we deserve best
He was so sensitive and so intelligent. He had a very fragile, tender mind in the sense that he had preserved the child in him. And with the divorce it only locked it in him. Thats why he was confused in school and only talked with the girls, becausw he connected with them because he had this sensitive outlook on things. Thats why he thought he was gay, because everyone called him that. I have a classmate who hangs out only with the girls and to be honest he kinda looks like Curt. Guess what they call him gay as well. With music he expressed himself, his voice crying beautifully. He then realised he soon had a gf and even a baby.... So much to handle already in thought that he still feels like a kid. And that no one acted with him in an acording way to his amazing character. Drugs and depression only added up to shit, and the pressure for things as well. He was tired and its okay. After everything its his life. No one is going to live it for him. If he felt like he couldnt do it and it would be best to preserve what he already had in hope someday someone will appreciate it, then he did the thing that is best for him.
I've been told I looked like them and I don't know but I see that he has a high sense of knowing what's going on but not really had a chance to express it, I also hang out with mostly girls because they're so interesting yet exhausting but it's nice to hear his story and I enjoyed listening to his voice on this interview
I knew he was a chill dude but I never knew he was this chill and ahead of his time with his social attitudes etc. In an era where things like Friends TV show was popular.
Stomach pain is a symptom of heroin withdrawal. He said he used heroin to alleviate his stomach pain. I think he didn't want to face the fact that the pain was coming from his addiction so he blamed it on his anger. That's just speculation though
I don’t know much of Kurt Cobain but I was truly touched by his sensibility in this audio. It’s very intriguing to see that in person who feels that kind of anger and sadness. Also, as a woman, I find it beautiful to see men being aware of women’s oppression
The sad thing is this is nearly 30 years later and things haven’t improved. In a lot of ways it’s going backwards. I live in a very toxic southern state. Male chauvinist immaturity is rampant here. I really related when Kurt said he stated hanging out with girls because he couldn’t relate to the guys. There’s a lot of us that see the injustice women live with each day. Best wishes to all of you.
I’m 46, at 14 I read the liner note the the album Incesticide, it was then that I made a conscious decision to reject my surroundings of racism, homophobia and sexism. This man’s music and words literally created allies. Continue to be amazing.
i frickin love his speaking voice. it's so weirdly soothing, and i love listening to the things he has to say, too. a lot of interviews are mostly about the music, but listening to him talking about himself as a person for once is really nice.
smells like the only nirvana song you know Maybe he felt the problem for other reasons, but could only express himself in terms of common sense ( I wish so )
Goes to show that he was a very interesting and a smart guy. When feminism is around, most men get all defensive and try to brush it aside. But Kurt was always there speaking out loud against sexism, racism and homophobia. Today you'd be tagged with this stupid "feminazi" label if you said "women are totally oppressed". But Kurt wasn't afraid to say it out loud through his music or whenever he had the chance. And you could tell it pissed him off really bad. We'd better don't think about how would Kurt be treated like today if he claimed this kind of things. He was honestly a man ahead of our time. And he will sadly only be remembered as the depressed guy who killed himself. You can see why this world doesn't deserve this kind of artists.
@@JohnDoe-mv6go And what's the most significant thing you've done? Have you earned a Grammy? Didnt think so, were you the king of a new music genre that defined a decade (even clothing wise)? Not that either, darn. Oh, I know probably yank off to henti till 3 in the morning. Go fuck yourself man.
Yeah but in 1993 feminism wasn’t as toxic as it is today. Actually everything in 1993 wasn’t as toxic as it is today. Can you imagine the outrage today if some celebrity told their audience to fuck off and wait, like Cobain did during his mtv unplugged concert? Also, it is doubtful that somebody as individual as Cobain would accept the totalitarian state of feminism (left wing politics) in 2019. Buzz from the Melvins (who Cobain admired greatly) today hates left wing posers and all the political correct shit of left wing stooges. So who’s to say Cobain wouldn’t have ended up hating left wing politics the same as Buzz from the Melvins has.
I still can't believe it's been 25 years!!! 😢 I heard these interviews a while back and I fell in love with him even more! The 90's would not be "THE 90'S" without him!!! R.I.P Kurt ❤️
It was really profound for me to hear him talk about the experience he had with his homophobic mother separating him from his friend. I see that kind of thing end friendships all the time, it’s happened to me several times. I was the queer one their parents weren’t comfortable with. It’s incredible that he was discussing this in 1992 when it’s still a controversial topic 30 years later
I'm a huge fan of Kurt. And it just so happens that I'm in Cork, living on the same street of the hotel he stayed in when he came here. I feel so much more happier and close to him knowing this!
Sticksel Pixel gaming Do I really have to explain why men (biologically masculine) acting feminine makes me uncomfortable? How are the not weird things?

Jaeger Entertainment it’s your opinion and if it makes you uncomfortable that’s fine but you don’t need to fucking put it out there and no expect a reply from someone
He was ahead of his time. Affirming support for lgbt, now everyone with Facebook can have a rainbow flag profile pic. But back then it was rare and a real statement.
I don't complain about my life and the generation I live in but everyday when I walk around the halls of school people call me school shooter because I listen to his music I keep my hair long and I am never happy. They don't know that I'm not happy because of them. Whatever happens to you or whatever people say, don't listen cause as long as you stay true to yourself they can't bring you down.
I know exactly how Kurt feels about Ireland. I went there a few years ago for a family reunion that happened after my grandfather passed. It was the most calming and at home I’ve felt anywhere. If I could live anywhere it would be there.
30 years without you. 30 years since you last sung your wonderful, talented music to us. Like it or not, you were the voice of a generation and an entire movement. Rest in peace, we love you Kurt.
I admire this man, not only as an artist but as a person, he was so intelligent and thought and empathised in a way very little people do. So sad he's gone he would have been a great dad
@@rodriguezelfeliz4623 fuck off, he was more than just a junkie he was a good person and the way his life ended was tragic, its ashame people just look at him as someone who did too much drugs.
@@robbielawsonguitar6446 His only reason for saying that is to not put drugs on too high of a pedestal. He's not necessarily saying that Kurt was "bad."
Such an amazing man I’m sad I wasn’t born in time to meet him he fought for my rights he spoke out against injustice and made bangers that my parents, me and most of my family grew up listening to I can’t imagine the pain felt around the world when he passed
Nirvana was one of the earliest bands I was really into, although I was like 11 and didn't understand much about Kurt or the messages of their music. Listening to this now is spooky because I realize my best friend from high school was basically Kurt. Misunderstood, sexually repressed, rejected masculinity and gendered culture, angry, troubled home life, etc. And he eventually killed himself, too.
Sorry to hear about your friend. It's very brave of you to share that with us. I lost my brother 3 yrs ago to suicide, he was great, but he was very ill, bipolar and the drug addiction, plus Kurt had fame thrust upon him and really early in their career. It probably spooked him, being from a small town like Aberdeen and all. He was a sensitive guy , a bit paranoid I think also.
+Darragh Noone scoliosis is curvature in the spine, for example, a straight spine would be 0°, mine was at 97°. so i had surgery two years ago so now mines at 26° or so, and i have metal rods and screws in my back. my case was genetic but kurt's was most likely caused by the way he held his guitar and his posture. hope that helps! ☺️
+fcuk you Oh yeah, he was a middle class kid from Washington whose parents got a divorce. Boo fucking hoo for him. Please, any torture he experienced was either self-inflicted or imagined by his fans
+SirGarforth I know people like him. I don't know about you but I couldn't survive thinking like that when so much bullshit happens to me I'm just prepping for the next thing cause it could be even worse! But I guess you need people who will reflect on these things. It's where a lot of good art comes from.
+sirgarforth Yh i can see where ur coming from on this. He did have a pretty good upbringing to say the least. But noone just kills themselves gor no reason. Maybe there was a deeper meaning behind his suicide
+fcuk you they got to him. like Dave Chppele said "what can cuse a man to run into bthe streets screeming ' theyre trying to get me'". And then they try to make it look like Courtny did it. Just look at all the comedians, and revolutionary artists who commit suicide. Anyone whith that much influence over the masses is a threat to anyone who wants to keep things as they are you knw? But thats just a thought.
youre right, they have picked off so many people not only cause they know the music or whatever message they created can be sold by the machine and theres no need for that individual anymore but also so theyre not in a position to contradict the machines cash flow...
Kurt passed just a few months before my dad did in 94'. His music has a deep connection to my life and is a huge part of my coming of age story. I love this interview and love him even more after this interview!!! R.I.P. Kurt
Man I just realized cobain & 2 PAC have a lot in common the bout where the voices of there generation they bout elevated a new element in there genre they bout spoke from there heart and they bout left to soon smh rip Kurt cobain & 2pac
Actually Tupac is alive and well in Cuba and Cobain just changed his identity to a guy named "Rivers Cuomo," and no longer has any health problems except being a little Weezy. Just kidding (but a little serious about pac) rest in peace to both of them, and you are absolutely right. Hip hop and Grunge are my two favorite genres and I never thought about that. Two great, progressive minds in their own right. Things like their deaths really make me question our chances as a species.
“I haven’t felt this optimistic since the divorce.”
In hindsight, that’s heartbreaking.
I feel like that kinda started his depression and that makes me kinda sad
My thoughts exactly. 😞
Before the divorce!! Main point was that the divorce ruined him, idk why this comment has so much likes it paints a different picture that he liked the divorce.
Att it’s sad that their relationship fell apart
It's cool that he became happy again after marrying and having a baby. He even healed physically. That's amazing
imagine kurt cobain just randomly calling you because of your last name that’d be cool

I don't think people with Kurt's personality loves attention. They just love what they do and inevitably, attention comes along as a package but people like Kurt are born for greatness. They can run but they can't hide from the attentions.
Kurt is one of the only reasons I survived my teen years, literally. I wish I could have repayed the debt.
As a young teen I remember being so sad he died and wished I would have died instead so he could be alive. Years later I thought about it and realized how fucking dumb I was. I'm alive and am grateful for every day day I have.
Me, too. Me, too. ♥

I'm now depressed and a teen. He helps me through my tough times and even inspired me to be a songwriter and make music.
honestly same
He once said, “if you are racist, sexist, homophobic, or basically just an asshole, don’t buy this cd. I don’t care if you don’t like me, because i HATE you.” Those words struck me and later did i find out that pretty much all the guys i hang out with in highschool are assholes and most of my family except my mom, god i love her to death shes such a good mom

I think what makes Kurt Cobain so great is how relatable he is with his expression of his vulnerability to the most average problems.

Ella Browell thanks
Ella Browell you’re the goat holy fuck how have I never found this
About A Son is probably the thing you're looking for!
Yes, it's called a Nirvana album.
Kurt was a man who fought for the rights of women and LGBT community. He defended victims of bullying and he fought against racism and sexual abuse. Because he had a lot of sensitivity and wisdom. I'm just tired of reading comments like: "he is overrated" or "he was just a depressed junkie". He did many more things for the others than all the people who talks shit about him.
Was definitely liberal
For those of you who want to know how he died, Im not gonna go into detail but kurt was depressed and was on drugs. The man wasnt able to handle having a kid in fear it would have a family life like his. He enjoyed his music but not much else. His wife was pissed with him and was greedy. Some think his wife killed him but shhe beat him up that night.he out of his mind on drugs and depressed, finished the job and she didnt have to do anything. The cops investigating were payed off to close the casem also, read the letter he wrote. Is that really kurts words? No his suicide letter isnt his
@Monster Mash what are you? A pro american bullshit boy who fucks his sisters and hates gays? Get a fucking life
Kurt would be a libertarian today. Socialism and communism wouldnt sit well with him in my opinion.
I dont care
I enjoyed the question, “how do you sing?” I don’t think I heard another interviewer ever ask someone that especially with someone like Kurt who has a distinct style of singing. Seems like a question Kurt wanted to answer too.
John Frusciante said on Kurts voice... "the sound of his screaming... I cant think of anybody who's done it so...who's just aah, such a complete celebration of insanity, type scream. It's just a wonderful sound. When i listen to it I think about what it must have felt like to have that sound coming through you."
Yeah it was a really great interview. The whole conversation is on UA-cam if you haven't heard it already.
Hilarious how I read that comment while watching and when I saw your comment I was at that part of the video lol
The part that gets me is when he says how he feels so much better and optimistic. Knowing Frances was born during the time this was recorded, he had to have died within a year or so afterwards. That hurts.
Nine months after this interview
Murdered😢
This was nearly a year after she was born. She was born on August 18th, 1992, and this was recorded on July 22nd, 1993.
@@urmom-lf1yd @Elsa Hartmann
Frances was born the same year that my eldest was born- accept I was a lot younger than Kurt.
I don't know the truth of the matter, just the speculation of the pre-internet generation flotsam-which makes me a lazy Gen-Xer, I guess, for not Googling this and making a citation.
I remember someone, who I thought was important at the time, saying that the Cobains were a working class family and his Dad was part of the logging industry of the Northwest. When the industry tanked, so did his father get tanked, at home. Mom and Dad started bickering too much and they split. And then this is where the myth of Cobain started cropping up; Manic punkrocker, person who raged against bu11sh1t he saw everywhere, part looney-toons cartoon character who watched his tour van blow up with his bandmates, rags-to-(credit)riches at an early age, responsibilities of numerous people relying on his talent to "entertain us" for their paychecks/livelihoods, (most likely) borderline wife, constant pain, eventual drug adiction, not providing his kid the home life that Cobain so desperately wished that he had, and then the end. Too many pressures on a working-class kid from the Pacific Northwest.
We forgive your death Kurt; We constructed you and so, like the death of someone who was murdered on the Ides of March, we all had a hand in your demise.
Father Badger I thought his dad was a mechanic or something with cars. I read that part from Heavier Than Heaven, it’s also in Montage of Heck. The saddest part in that movie is towards the end, when it’s Bean’s first haircut. He’s holding her and nodding out, while Courtney is cutting her hair, and Eric is filming it. We all know he had a drug problem, it was really unnecessary to put in the movie.
Have you guys seen the video of Kurt stopping mid show to defend a woman being harassed in the front row? That was cool to see. Respect Kurdt.
Can I have link
Yes he is great
@jay You mean the woman that went on an emotional chaotic downward spiral throughout her 1994-95 tour marred by legal troubles and other personal unrest, that involved random emotional talks about Kurt during sets, playing dissonant noise while shouting his name over and over into the mic, punching out Kathleen Hanna of Bikin Kill because she said something about their daughter, wild instigating ravings and fights with fans while on stage, and recklessly throwing herself into crowds (while wearing very little) like she didn't care what happened after Kurt died?

I remember seeing that thing about "don't buy my records if you're a homophobe" in the liner notes of Incesticide and thinking how cool that was that he had such good hearted beliefs and had the balls to state it. Kurt was a special guy.
@Clau C. Yes he would
Honestly
@@danejurus69 I've never really liked people like that tho honestly. People always think that when someone is a homophobe or racist that they're a bad person, and while a lot of the time I find myself getting mad at them too I try to understand that it's because of ignorance. My grandparent was racist but she still was a "Good" guy. She put all of her money into our family and helped raise me when my mom wouldn't. It's all about ignorance, there's an awesome Ted talk with this guy, I forget his name but he's black, and he befriends a KKK member, who was the leader in the surrounding area, and after years of being friends with him and trying to understand him the KKK member gave up the Klan.
I love this interview. It shows us how sensitive and intelligent Kurt was. He wasn't this psycho death rocker that some people made him out to be. He didn't have the maniac ego or macho attitude that a lot of other rock and roll stars had. I mean, how many other big musicians were speaking out against sexism, racism and homophobia? Most wouldn't risk upsetting their fans or losing money. And it wasn't just that Kurt spoke out against those things, you can tell that it really bothered him. I know people are fascinated by Kurt's tragic end and his battle with depression and drug addiction...But what's amazing to me is that, despite all the pain he felt, despite all of his personal demons, he was still a truly empathic and thoughtful person.
Actraiser1, "how many other big musicians were speaking out against sexism, racism and homophobia?"
Almost every big musician in the 60s?
RIPdixiecarter I was talking about other rock and roll bands from Nirvana's era...
If you mean during the grunge/alt rock era I would still vouch to say almost every big musician including Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, Thom Yorke, or Rage Against the Machine. Grunge in general was quite socially political. Some of those musicians listed are or were even more insightful and witty than Kurt.
Though I don't see the issue with some musician prioritizing solely on the music and having fun with their fans who go to their shows to escape the bullshit paradigm of reality that hasn't and will never change. Some people prefer the separation between music and state
I'm pretty sure the majority of rock stars who are not Ted Nugent condemn bigotry
THIS.
Michael Jackson sang against those things! 😛
I can’t believe how genuine and opened he is about his life.
Wut? He constantly lied in his interviews LMAO especially about heroin but he explained later on he felt like a role model whether he wanted to be one or not so tried to not inspire any dumb teenager to try smack. Shit, he was at the very rock bottom claiming to be completely clean and saying he's the happiest ever while he cut off all of his non junkie friends and then offed himself...

Damian Rice Maybe you should actually learn some facts before you make up your mind. That's what smart, thinking people do.
Kurt Cobain is actually a pure sweetie. Now I want to learn so much more about him and even read his biographies and journals. I find him inspirational and open-minded just by watching this little video. He just speaks his mind, so no wonder why people admire him a lot. I respect him. RIP.
Yeah he was seriously one of the most honest people of his time. He was one of the few who was fed up with oppression against women, races and homosexuals. He just wanted peace.
Its not good apparently to be a nice guy I've caught girls cheating on me and their excuse was I'm too nice:(
Don't read his journals. Those are put up by Courtney Love to make money and he never wanted them released. So if you read them you're disrespecting him. Buy his music read the lyrics, they're inside the CDs. Buy them used so that she doesn't get a dime by the way.
The sad thing is this was less than a year before his suicide and he talks about how this is best he's felt since his parent's divorce.

Dont bring yourself down, you are loved even if you dont know it yet.

Wait till you find out how Kurt solved his problems.
He did not fit into this messed up world. A man like him is so rare. He was so sensitive and profound, and he cared too much. He respected women and understood them. And he put up with Courtney. He was lost in the chaos and anesthetized in his pain. And yet, he was probably the most awake and aware of us all.
Sensitive? Take drugs.

Colin Boyd yea I’m not even a hue nirvana fan but it’s pretty obvious
*kurt
but he was the good kind of feminist, now modern feminism is really nothing alike
Kurt Cobain was a "Feminist" in the way every normal person is a Feminist-- a classical Feminist who wants equality for women. It doesn't mean he'd be a 2019 militant Feminazi who demands equity over equality (equality is everyone getting the same opportunity to prove themselves; equity is getting the same result regardless of capability). This is where modern day Feminism has gone off the rails. Kurt could never endorse this ideology because it's a form of unfairness also, albeit dressed up in a new disguise.
I promise you this much, if Kurt were still with us today he would not identify with the modern day era of '4th wave Feminism'. It's because above all else, Kurt Cobain was an anti-establishment rebel by nature. He was a rebel waaaay more than he ever was a politically minded individual.
Kurt would distance himself from the modern day Feminist ideology because he'd notice that the Left are the ones who have become the powerful establishment figures currently suffocating artistic expression. It's the Left who have assumed cultural power at this point, and have morphed into the same joyless, school-marming, tyrannical Puritans conservatives were during the 1940s-70s. It's the Left who's smothering comedy, art, and music these days. It's the Left who's preventing honest discourse. Don't think for one minute Kurt wouldn't see these things also, and that he wouldn't utterly detest the effect it's having on society-- the same way his fellow punk rock icons Johnny Rotten & Johnny Ramone have.
The Bottom Line:
Kurt Cobain would be railing against today's political climate as fiercely as he railed against 80s glam metal because opposing the rigid, uptight Left is the new counterculture. It's the new "good fight" for sincere rebels everywhere to take up in order to reclaim freedom of expression.
@@Britton_Thompson
Nah, it's just politics growing more toxic as time goes on. For every toxic person on the left, another toxic person sits on the right.

11lululuv Nah, I disagree with Kurt, he sounded kind of like an sjw. Women don't really want men like him, they want the macho rockstars. It's the harsh truth. You may respect women, but will they respect you?
pringelsthegamefreak He was an sjw. He cared about social justice. That's a good thing, no matter what your alt-right gamer culture might have brainwashed you into thinking. And it's established that Nirvana had way more female fans than the more traditionally macho bands in the Seattle scene. So yeah. Not really sure what you're on about.
pringelsthegamefreak No, we don't. The only people who idolize "macho" men are other men.
Exactly, it's really idiotic that we now live in a culture that demonizes and fears natural human empathy for others.
Lmao you just tell yourself that so you can justify acting like an asshole. Every guy I ever rejected was a macho dickhead and I relished in their bitterness when I chose a sweet compassionate guy who has similar beliefs to Kurt (who I am still with years later). I never regretted rejecting any of those assholes for a second and they are still all acting like the stereotypical egotistical high school jock in their early 20's, still all single, it's sad, they all peaked at around 17 and even then they were pathetic. But they obviously value acting like immature assholes over having human relationships so all of them, and you, can continue to rot alone.

I always thought this one of his best interviews.
is there a full interview?
There is a great Kurt Cobain audio interview like this Blank On Blank interview in a documentary called "Kurt Cobain: About A Son" (2006) Those audio recordings were made by Michael Azazard who had interviewed Kurt for an authorized Nirvana biography book called "Come As You Are: The Story Of Nirvana" (1993) They used hours of recordings of Kurt talking about his life in the documentary.
Its actually on iTunes
Saint Martins what is the documentary called ? :)
Alex what is it called :)
Kurt was an empath for sure
It's a tough life
100%
Yup. Not good for anxiety and depression. There's days that going to the shop and being around so many people/energies puts me into panic attack mode. Some days I can't even leave the house. It's debilitating
I think of "an empath" as a performative term, I'd rather call him "rebel" than anything else, that because we have a social adaptability problem which stems from the way we order things as a society. Everybody has the capability to feel empathy, we just live under material conditions that don't allow us to do so
He's a rebel beacuse he was living under a pain he wasn't supposed to be in... we all live under unfair pain, and talking personal responsibility before systemic responsibility is sum cruel bullshit fam
uwu we deserve best
It doesn’t have to be, learning to channel those emotions into positive output is absolutely possible.
That’s because he was a Pisces. I’m surprised not more people talk about this.
He was so sensitive and so intelligent. He had a very fragile, tender mind in the sense that he had preserved the child in him. And with the divorce it only locked it in him. Thats why he was confused in school and only talked with the girls, becausw he connected with them because he had this sensitive outlook on things. Thats why he thought he was gay, because everyone called him that. I have a classmate who hangs out only with the girls and to be honest he kinda looks like Curt. Guess what they call him gay as well. With music he expressed himself, his voice crying beautifully. He then realised he soon had a gf and even a baby.... So much to handle already in thought that he still feels like a kid. And that no one acted with him in an acording way to his amazing character. Drugs and depression only added up to shit, and the pressure for things as well. He was tired and its okay. After everything its his life. No one is going to live it for him. If he felt like he couldnt do it and it would be best to preserve what he already had in hope someday someone will appreciate it, then he did the thing that is best for him.
I've been told I looked like them and I don't know but I see that he has a high sense of knowing what's going on but not really had a chance to express it, I also hang out with mostly girls because they're so interesting yet exhausting but it's nice to hear his story and I enjoyed listening to his voice on this interview
he probably connected with girls more because girls are more expressive, and less extreme usually.
I knew he was a chill dude but I never knew he was this chill and ahead of his time with his social attitudes etc. In an era where things like Friends TV show was popular.
People with scoliosis tend to have stomach problems, but scoliosis is rare in males. Then again, he was a rare male.
Stomach pain is a symptom of heroin withdrawal. He said he used heroin to alleviate his stomach pain. I think he didn't want to face the fact that the pain was coming from his addiction so he blamed it on his anger. That's just speculation though
noobenstein Nah you're still the edgelord

+InfiniteEIC whys that?
+Game Lover breaks your heart if they don't act like you thought they would or wanted them to be
+InfiniteEIC yeah exactly
+InfiniteEIC I'm met plenty of my idols!!
I don’t know much of Kurt Cobain but I was truly touched by his sensibility in this audio. It’s very intriguing to see that in person who feels that kind of anger and sadness.
Also, as a woman, I find it beautiful to see men being aware of women’s oppression
The sad thing is this is nearly 30 years later and things haven’t improved. In a lot of ways it’s going backwards. I live in a very toxic southern state. Male chauvinist immaturity is rampant here. I really related when Kurt said he stated hanging out with girls because he couldn’t relate to the guys. There’s a lot of us that see the injustice women live with each day. Best wishes to all of you.
I want to say something sweet but I don’t want to stain the level of respect I have for you two.

I’m 46, at 14 I read the liner note the the album Incesticide, it was then that I made a conscious decision to reject my surroundings of racism, homophobia and sexism. This man’s music and words literally created allies. Continue to be amazing.
i frickin love his speaking voice. it's so weirdly soothing, and i love listening to the things he has to say, too. a lot of interviews are mostly about the music, but listening to him talking about himself as a person for once is really nice.
Kurt Cobain. Rock's greatest male feminist.
HolidayKirk I wonder what he'd think of modern day feminism.
unfortunately i think he'd still be a modern feminist because he gave a pretty poor reason why woman are 'oppressed ' in 1993
He wouldn't be proud of modern day feminism I'll tell you that much
smells like the only nirvana song you know
Maybe he felt the problem for other reasons, but could only express himself in terms of common sense ( I wish so )
Hell no!
He's a very thoughtful person. Very smart guy! RIP Cobain! Thank you for inspiring so many people, and being so real!
He was so self-aware. He was definitely a "gifted child". He understand his emotions, body, and social situation. Very insightful.
A wise and honest being can't survive this human society.
I think I understand what you mean
+Brandon Harris yeah but I like to be forward with people but sometimes they only hear what they want to
Drugs are evil...
Therango32 happiness is a drug. Take from that what you will.
+Aidyn You're a pretentious fuckwit who doesn't know what a drug is and will grow out of your edgy phase within the next 2 years?
Just feeling like going to Cork right now to be honest.
Hermetic Kitten me as well let’s go cork it ! 😉
Kiki!
it's amazing you should go
Hermetic Kitten I'm from Cork!
Hermetic Kitten how bout find your own life
He just loved people, sad we had to lose him and all the good people
Didn't sound like he loved much males in the world.
@@onepunchflan3071 And females. He was a feminist in a way. I mean he wasnt upset that he was male. He was a great guy you know.
“I’m always in pain”
Damn.
Goes to show that he was a very interesting and a smart guy. When feminism is around, most men get all defensive and try to brush it aside. But Kurt was always there speaking out loud against sexism, racism and homophobia. Today you'd be tagged with this stupid "feminazi" label if you said "women are totally oppressed". But Kurt wasn't afraid to say it out loud through his music or whenever he had the chance. And you could tell it pissed him off really bad. We'd better don't think about how would Kurt be treated like today if he claimed this kind of things. He was honestly a man ahead of our time. And he will sadly only be remembered as the depressed guy who killed himself. You can see why this world doesn't deserve this kind of artists.
He was nothing but an edgy drug addict who made mediocre music. Go virtue signal somewhere else.
@@JohnDoe-mv6go And what's the most significant thing you've done? Have you earned a Grammy? Didnt think so, were you the king of a new music genre that defined a decade (even clothing wise)? Not that either, darn. Oh, I know probably yank off to henti till 3 in the morning. Go fuck yourself man.
@@death_5397 Feminism was needed in the 90s, dont bash it you incel.
Yeah but in 1993 feminism wasn’t as toxic as it is today. Actually everything in 1993 wasn’t as toxic as it is today. Can you imagine the outrage today if some celebrity told their audience to fuck off and wait, like Cobain did during his mtv unplugged concert?
Also, it is doubtful that somebody as individual as Cobain would accept the totalitarian state of feminism (left wing politics) in 2019. Buzz from the Melvins (who Cobain admired greatly) today hates left wing posers and all the political correct shit of left wing stooges. So who’s to say Cobain wouldn’t have ended up hating left wing politics the same as Buzz from the Melvins has.
@@matthewlawton9241 You just spewed complete bullshit, trying to sound smart
God I wish he was still alive, it makes me sad to think about him not being here with us.
Loved lithium at the end
Its the KAOS Radio Lithium Version its great and powerfull.
it is my favorite.
Lol it sounded like absolute shit.
This man has made me happier than I could ever imagine. He has also made me sad, I just wish he were still here. He would be fighting for big issues.
I still can't believe it's been 25 years!!! 😢 I heard these interviews a while back and I fell in love with him even more! The 90's would not be "THE 90'S" without him!!! R.I.P Kurt ❤️
It was really profound for me to hear him talk about the experience he had with his homophobic mother separating him from his friend. I see that kind of thing end friendships all the time, it’s happened to me several times. I was the queer one their parents weren’t comfortable with. It’s incredible that he was discussing this in 1992 when it’s still a controversial topic 30 years later
Ew
I'm a huge fan of Kurt. And it just so happens that I'm in Cork, living on the same street of the hotel he stayed in when he came here. I feel so much more happier and close to him knowing this!
Feminist, anti-sexism, pro-lgbt+, kind person.
Kurt cobain, ladies and gents
Ya a weirdo😂
@@jaegerentertainment6865 how are those weird things?
Sticksel Pixel gaming Do I really have to explain why men (biologically masculine) acting feminine makes me uncomfortable? How are the not weird things?
@@jaegerentertainment6865 oh you are going to bring biology into this. As a biology student I would love for you to explain how just because the averge man a geneticaly more likley to be stronger than the averge female impacts behavior.
Jaeger Entertainment it’s your opinion and if it makes you uncomfortable that’s fine but you don’t need to fucking put it out there and no expect a reply from someone
I miss you so much Kurt.... Your music changed my whole outlook on life.
“My mental state improved 100%” ( - _ ‘ )
Which is why people have always speculate that he was murdered. That and the pending divorce with prenuptial agreement.
What an amazing and intelligent person. He was such a great man, as well as musician. It's a tragedy he died so young. Rest in peace Kurt.
he killed himself or maybe he was murdered
i see now why people from the LGBT community with a huge following like Jeffree Star and Rupaul love and respect Kurt Cobain so much.
He was ahead of his time. Affirming support for lgbt, now everyone with Facebook can have a rainbow flag profile pic. But back then it was rare and a real statement.
Please don’t compare That man and RuPaul . Jeffree Star is a racist.
I'm a senior in hs and I relate to everything he said it's shocking me
fluxy502 i guess that is the reason everyone loves him. Everyone csn relate to him. Or at least think that they can (;
CornUni I can only imagine the shit that went on daily in Kurt’s mind. He has a psychotic disorder after all
what a transformation of personal pain and angst to such amazing artistic expression....
I don't complain about my life and the generation I live in but everyday when I walk around the halls of school people call me school shooter because I listen to his music I keep my hair long and I am never happy. They don't know that I'm not happy because of them. Whatever happens to you or whatever people say, don't listen cause as long as you stay true to yourself they can't bring you down.
Ilsoni The Egg Waqa that terrible
*thats
Its gonna be Ok
what the fuck is wrong with these kids in your school!...
Ronja That's just the "normal" popular kids.
I know exactly how Kurt feels about Ireland. I went there a few years ago for a family reunion that happened after my grandfather passed. It was the most calming and at home I’ve felt anywhere. If I could live anywhere it would be there.
“maybe you’re feeling a bit better now?” that question made me so sad, i don’t know why
When you’re Irish and a nirvana fan.
*Pretty cool to think Kurt’s ancestry is only a 2.3 hour drive from me* 🇮🇪
Up the ra 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Arthur Morgan where u from🇮🇪🇮🇪
@@user-go3jv8rw7i up by Crossmaglen
Arthur Morgan nice man
@@Robby23567 boah
This is the fastest I've ever heard him talk. It's always very slow, drawn out.
30 years without you. 30 years since you last sung your wonderful, talented music to us. Like it or not, you were the voice of a generation and an entire movement. Rest in peace, we love you Kurt.
I admire this man, not only as an artist but as a person, he was so intelligent and thought and empathised in a way very little people do. So sad he's gone he would have been a great dad
I get what you are saying, but be careful when using a drug addict as your role model.
@@rodriguezelfeliz4623 fuck off, he was more than just a junkie he was a good person and the way his life ended was tragic, its ashame people just look at him as someone who did too much drugs.
@@robbielawsonguitar6446 His only reason for saying that is to not put drugs on too high of a pedestal. He's not necessarily saying that Kurt was "bad."
Why was Kurt the cutest thing ever :)
Pat
Because it's Kurt Fucking Cobain
SO TRUE, never seen more beautiful guy :))
because he’s amazing!!!
Love that Crass sample when he was mentioning punk rock
Crass: bata model?
Such an amazing man I’m sad I wasn’t born in time to meet him he fought for my rights he spoke out against injustice and made bangers that my parents, me and most of my family grew up listening to I can’t imagine the pain felt around the world when he passed
Nirvana was one of the earliest bands I was really into, although I was like 11 and didn't understand much about Kurt or the messages of their music. Listening to this now is spooky because I realize my best friend from high school was basically Kurt. Misunderstood, sexually repressed, rejected masculinity and gendered culture, angry, troubled home life, etc. And he eventually killed himself, too.
Sorry to hear about your friend. It's very brave of you to share that with us. I lost my brother 3 yrs ago to suicide, he was great, but he was very ill, bipolar and the drug addiction, plus Kurt had fame thrust upon him and really early in their career. It probably spooked him, being from a small town like Aberdeen and all. He was a sensitive guy , a bit paranoid I think also.
kurt had scoliosis? wowie i had no clue, so do i. love this interview. 😌
+Emma Hagel thanks for watching.
what is scoliosis
+Darragh Noone scoliosis is curvature in the spine, for example, a straight spine would be 0°, mine was at 97°. so i had surgery two years ago so now mines at 26° or so, and i have metal rods and screws in my back. my case was genetic but kurt's was most likely caused by the way he held his guitar and his posture. hope that helps! ☺️
ok thanks for telling me and im sorry to hear that you have scoliosis
Or you're an idiot.
even after all the years that go by, the sound of his voice/singing still warms and calms me down
When Kurt talks about Cork I know what he means. The first time I went to Scotland this undeniable feeling of "I'm home" hit me like a wave.
Poor kurt. He was truely just a tortured soul. R.I.P.
+fcuk you Oh yeah, he was a middle class kid from Washington whose parents got a divorce. Boo fucking hoo for him. Please, any torture he experienced was either self-inflicted or imagined by his fans
+SirGarforth I know people like him. I don't know about you but I couldn't survive thinking like that when so much bullshit happens to me I'm just prepping for the next thing cause it could be even worse! But I guess you need people who will reflect on these things. It's where a lot of good art comes from.
+sirgarforth Yh i can see where ur coming from on this. He did have a pretty good upbringing to say the least. But noone just kills themselves gor no reason. Maybe there was a deeper meaning behind his suicide
+fcuk you they got to him. like Dave Chppele said "what can cuse a man to run into bthe streets screeming ' theyre trying to get me'". And then they try to make it look like Courtny did it. Just look at all the comedians, and revolutionary artists who commit suicide. Anyone whith that much influence over the masses is a threat to anyone who wants to keep things as they are you knw?
But thats just a thought.
youre right, they have picked off so many people not only cause they know the music or whatever message they created can be sold by the machine and theres no need for that individual anymore but also so theyre not in a position to contradict the machines cash flow...
Kurt passed just a few months before my dad did in 94'. His music has a deep connection to my life and is a huge part of my coming of age story. I love this interview and love him even more after this interview!!! R.I.P. Kurt
Man I just realized cobain & 2 PAC have a lot in common the bout where the voices of there generation they bout elevated a new element in there genre they bout spoke from there heart and they bout left to soon smh rip Kurt cobain & 2pac
Actually Tupac is alive and well in Cuba and Cobain just changed his identity to a guy named "Rivers Cuomo," and no longer has any health problems except being a little Weezy. Just kidding (but a little serious about pac) rest in peace to both of them, and you are absolutely right. Hip hop and Grunge are my two favorite genres and I never thought about that. Two great, progressive minds in their own right. Things like their deaths really make me question our chances as a species.
Exactly
Detrimental 313 pac was a rip-off. He stole all his music. He had a cool voice and that was it.
Detrimental 313 Tupac was a puppet. He was born and raised in NYC then moved to the west coast and started claiming “West Side”.
Whenever I'm in doubt with my beliefs, I came back and rewatch this. Kurt has been a guide for me since my teenage years.
I love how the interviewer cares about his health 💕
This is part of the school curriculum in Australia every one has to watch this in pdhpe for some reason
Crossie357 why?
austin maltezos honestly don’t know
austin maltezos it’s like self identity or something I had a jam that day me and my pe teacher both enjoy 90’s music
what grade are you in?
I wish, everybody at my school are sexist homophobic ass holes, it pisses me off to the highest degree
One of the greatest interviews ever, very few interviews have given so much quotes.
man i could listen to him speak his mind for hours rip kurt 30 whole years now
