crazy how today makes 30 years since Kurt died and 22 years since Layne Staley died both grunge legends that are dearly missed R.I.P.
Thank you, I came here to mention LAYNE!! RIP legends ❤❤
The worst part is they recorded that garbage. Thank God they're not doing it anymore.
@@jamiejohnson1398Kurt brought real music back to mainstream, no other pop, rap, or modern day rock group could surpass the impact Kurt left
@@skipads8784 imagine only clicking on a video to be a hater... FOH
@@skipads8784 ….you ok pal? Sounds like you need a hug
Can’t believe it’s been 30 years. I was a junior in high school. Then there was Layne on the same date in 2002. Those guys changed the landscape of rock.
Unfortunately for the worse.
@j.jguerrieri5257 Kurt was murdered on april 3rd.

Layne staley died on this same day in Seattle 22 years ago...
April 5th Is a sad day for grunge...
22 years ago wow can't believe how long ago it's been. 😢😢😢
Layne died the same day as my dad. That day hurt a lot...
@@Gian4455 I'm sorry buddy ♥️ stay strong
🤣😅 Grunge sucks! Kurt did the right thing just not soon enough.
@@skipads8784 lol I mean you're allowed to have an opinion but saying you're glad someone died...
Its giving edgy middle schooler.
Did your mom not love you when you were little? 🤣
R.I.P. Kurt Cobain
Nirvana are one of my favorite bands of all time. Kurt Cobain is an absolute legend and to this day, he has inspired so many people.
I remember it vividly, going to see wrestle mania 10 and a friend telling me about Kurt's suicide. And now, 30 years later, I'm getting ready for wrestle mania 40! Where does the time go?
My god!! Im 42yrs old and used to love wrestling when it was the WWF. I've completely lost touch with it over the last 25yrs. Is Wrestlemania still going? And number 30? Wow!
You wasted it watchin wrastlin
@@Blackkitty32The Rock is wresting his first match in 11 years too
@@Blackkitty32it’s number 40, number 10 was in 94
@@Ottophil not really
I stepped off the bus from high school and my friends were waiting for me to tell me that Kurt had been found dead. I didn't really believe it until I got to my other friends house and MTV was on his TV. We just sat in his living room the entire weekend watching MTV.
All Kurt wanted was to play music, he never cared about the game, the riches. He just wanted to play songs with his friends
surely, you knew him well i see
That's the myth but the reality was that he worked really hard to make his band successful. He may have hated being a rock star but that's only after he "made it"
If that’s true, Nirvana wouldn’t have signed to a major label record deal. So obviously Kurt wanted his band to become successful. Though maybe he regretted that later.
@@marcdellorusso180 well, there's the story about the house. That he only lived in one room on the mansion where he died, by the entrance. That he wasn't comfortable with such a massive space
Kurt may have wanted to be successful, but that depends on what your perception of "success" truly is. I think that if Nevermind sold 50,000, the amount that the experts believed it would sell, he would have been happy. He wanted to be successful in the alternative world, not this cultural icon. The problem was he had no idea just how much things were going to change, or how big his role would be in changing it. He didn't want all the trappings that came with being an icon, having your life endlessly dissected by tabloids and the media. It was the machine that killed him, kind of like what happened with Michael Jackson.
R.I.P.
Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain
They still alive in our hearts
❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Continue to rest Kurt & Layne.
second this
Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, and so many legends
Kane and Lynch
Whew. I had to fight back the tears on that one.
Excellent job on your documentary.
We miss you so much Kurt...that has not changed a bit in 30 years.😢
I remember where is was the day the news broke over the airwaves. I was with my first girlfriend in Washington DC at a record store called Commander salamander. The moment the word was out , two young punk girls that were working behind the counter , broke out into tears and hugged each other while the guys , including me just seem to freeze in time. Sadness wasn’t the word to describe my feelings and anger wasn’t close enough either. After losing my mother in 93 right after my 13th birthday, to losing my only hero ,ever, just months after, ripped my life apart. I learned very early in life, nothing is promised to you and the world owes you nothing.
heart breaking story thanks for telling
🍀
The early 90's was a music utopia, so beautiful and sad.
I’ve been listening to Nirvana all morning for the past two hours… Stay Away Live at Reading is playing and I look down at my phone and see this pop up❤️🤙🏼 happiest 6 am news
He was actually murdered on the 3rd, not the 5th. But nice.
He was special. 30 years have passed and his songs still help people to deal with their problems. It gives you some extra power to fight your demons
This year is also going to Mark 20 years since we lost Dimebag
That is much bigger for me than Cobain
I always felt that while Dimebag’s loss was tragic and sad, the impact was larger on musicians, guitarists in particular. Cuz he wasn’t so much a personality as he was an astounding guitar player and leader of sorts in the field. His band itself was the movement of the time. No single piece, but a sum of three parts. That’s why, IMO, so many were against this “reunion”.
But please don’t get me wrong, he was a stellar guitar player. A “god” Some might say. Stop there or I’ll ruin any point I might have been making haha, and just start pissing people off. And I’m not really a shit stirrer.
Almost 20 years ago since we lost Dimebag Darrell. 😢😢😢
Can't even describe how important Nirvana is to me. Not only loving their music but they opened my eyes to other genres like punk rock , new wave , alternative ect and I'll always be thankful for that. Been listening to them for the last 14-15 years now and honestly I don't think it'll ever get old. RIP Kurdt
Decided to go to Seattle on vacation this week. I grew up on 90’s music and took a rock tour (Stalking Seattle). Saw Kurt’s house and the park next to it, went to Layne’s condo and the Moore Theater where Mad Season played. Black Dog Forge where PJ and Soundgarden practiced. The MoPop Museum has a Nirvana exhibit with the first Sub Pop contract Nirvana signed pre Grohl and a lot of other cool stuff. I didn’t realize at the time it was Kurt’s 30th anniversary, man what a special week. RIP Kurt and Layne!
Can’t believe 30 years since Kurt died and 22 since Layne died. Crazy my two favorite singers died the SAME day. Rip Kurt and Layne
Fun fact: all of Nirvana’s albums were recorded and mixed on analog tape.
They never went digital.
…
That means nothing, they are not better for having done only analog
Agreed. And countless other bands also done the same back then. No achievement whatsoever. @@haerfgvbag7050
@@haerfgvbag7050Speak for yourself
Who cares? Their last actual album was released in 1993... Maybe if they were still around in the late '90s or early '00s that would mean something.
Was only 3 years old when he died. Age 13 I picked up a guitar once I heard nirvana, he continues to influence new generations and will do so until the end of time
👏👏👏👏
I saw them at Reading. It was awesome and very mudy.
I remember this news breaking with Kurt Loder. I was on my lunch break with my mom and best friend (both of whom are also gone now), and it just left the worst feeling. More than just music died that day. May he continue to rest in peace, and may his daughter find comfort and solace in his legacy as she journey's through this life without him.
He was a seriously talented individual, he will always be remembered as a legend, not just as a rockstar, but an absolute legend
Rest In Peace Kurt Cobain
❤️
30yrs.... Still feels like yesterday.
Miss Ya Kurt.
Rest in peace to one of the greatest musicians of his generation. Nevermind and In Utero are two of the best albums of the '90s.
RIP 🙏
Kurts legacy will be forever there, no matter what💯
no it wont
@@PitBullPlaysGames yes it will

R.I.P Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley too x
Rip Kurt ❤️You were a beautiful man Inside and out Tragic 🙏
Kurt would've hated the state of the world so much nowadays especially social media
Are you kidding? He would have probably been married to a woman who was 20 years younger than him, having kids in his 50s and on social media selling his wears like everyone else. Had he lived I doubt he would have stayed the same being in the entertainment business.
@@Purplenpinkk spoken like someone who clearly didn't understand what he was all about. I see a lot of comments like this from people who weren't fans at the time or weren't even born when he was alive.
@@gordonbennett7931 I’m 55 years old, I was very much alive when his music was popular and when he died. I’m a total Stan when it comes to him, but I don’t deceive myself in thinking he was a saint and wouldn’t be doing things that other people in the entertainment business do. Come on.
@@Purplenpinkk I don't think he was a saint either. But he was clearly a man of substance so I completely disagree with your suggestion which doesn't fit at all with the person he was. And that's all we have to go by.
@@gordonbennett7931 how do you know? did you know him personally?
Hi Axl! Hi Axl! where's Axl! Hi Axl! Hi Axl! Hi Axl! ❤❤❤
Dave Grohl said that actually lol
Dave might be famous on his own but he'll always be the drummer from Nirvana, Kurt's band. RIP
@@brian-ld4vd Dave was and never will be as talented as Kurt…not disrespecting Dave but that’s just facts
@@vb2388 I Agree Totally, Dave has been successful at writing basically Pop songs. Kurt was a Musical Genius.
Cobain is still in my heart and his melodies still dance around in my head every day.
RIP Kurt and Layne Staley who also died 22 years ago today 😇❤
🫶🏾🤘🏾
Their will never be another kurt cobain. No other artist nowadays can even come close to him. Nirvana will always be the peak of real music, before all the autotune and editing trash. R.I.P kurt. You'll always be the shit!
Nirvana and a lot of the bands from the 90s including Pantera and Black Label Society
I was 17 with tickets to see Nirvana in Manchester in April 1994. I found out Kurt had died on my way to see Soundgarden on April 11th.
Damn, that was three days after his body was found. That's intense.
I remember reading a Soundgarden article in Spin or RS where they were backstage when the band got the news right after leaving the stage.
@@davidtingley9978 my mistake, the Soundgarden gig was April 10th. Tad was support and Tad Doyle stage dived and landed on me!!
I can picture in my mind the room I was in and everything in it. I just walked in the room and was standing right by the TV when Kurt Loder came on with the news. I was stunned and it didn't really hit me for a while. It really took a couple hours for it to sink in. I was supposed to do something that evening but i stayed home. It was April 8th, 1994... two days before my 25th birthday.
Great editing guys thanks❤
As long as Teen Angst exists, Nirvana and Cobain will always remain relevant..
Smells Like Teen Spirit is a Universal Anthem for Teenagers
And cringe
@@haerfgvbag7050 I mean I don’t listen to them anymore but you know I’m right.. 🤷🏻♂️
How tf is it cringe ?@@haerfgvbag7050
I remember that first time I`ve listened to Nirvana in the end of 1992 back in Brazil, couldn`t stop listening anymore up to today!
He is the reason I picked up and continue to pick up my guitar. Thanks Kurt, you are loved and missed.
I love that people never talking about Layne on this day only just Kurt
That pisses me off. Love them both
Who's Layne?
@@alukuhito fr?
because while Layne was a far superior vocalist, w/o Kurt Cobain, you probably would have never heard of Layne. This documentary is about a trail blazer.
@@BlueInOrangeAgain This "documentary" is made on the day he died what he shares with Layne. It's not that hard mentioning his name to and you saying just because Kurt where more famous I never would've known Layne. So you don't know any little bands just the big ones? They are not worth to remember just because they where not "trail blazers"?
I started listening Nirvana in 2007, i was 14 yrs old. I was addicted to their music. Its been 30 years. Im 31 now. Time flies. Rip Kurt 🖤
I remember I was in 9th grade and I heard the news and was crushed as Kurt was one of 2 idols I have. I picked up a guitar because of him and I use the exact same guitar he used and I'm a proud left-handed player like him.
He died on my 27th birthday. I was grunge’s target audience.
My father told me that he was 18 when Kurt died. I became 18 on monday. It is wonderful and tragic at the same Time that how Somebody's death affects each generations🖤
Rest in peace Kurt
He was 27
@@cw3728 Kurt was 27, my father was 18
@@leviorosz2124 I only read up to the first 18 lol, now I read it all it makes sense. RIP Kirt
Rip and Layne and Kurt
I never thought that, 30 years ago, I would be writing to people all over the world like this about this news. How so many things have evolved, yet Nirvana continue to influence the eternal youth that makes me feel alive inside forever. I was 14 at the time my friend informed me what happened. I was in Paris on a school trip. The absolute elation of being out of my homeland (Ireland) for the first time, and then on my second nite there, I learn he is gone. The juxtaposition of emotions was beyond weird, and it really did'nt dawn on me that it was real 'till I arrived home.
I was 14 too and yes how things have changed! I remember our school had to bring counsellors in, because people were crying during lessons.
Can't believe its 30 years ago. Such a loss to the world.
Kurt, I know there’s no way you’ll see this but i don’t care. You really impacted me, you gave me something that can help me through this, you help me express how I feel, you’re really an inspiration to me. I wish you were still alive. Rest In Peace
Rest easy Kurt and Layne. 💙
Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, and so many legends that died too
🖤
@@pabloruiz6224 they didn't die on April 5th. Only Kurt and Layne
I heard about it on the radio on 9th April 1994 - I was in Australia and it was the pre-internet era. The announcer said what was going to be played that night and "sadly some Nirvana".
im still listening to all of Nirvana album until today,idc what ppl say that why im still listening to classic stuff,old is gold though 😎✌️🔥🖤
RIP LAYNE AND KURT.
Kurt, forever remembered, you are a historical figure, innovator and cultural mover. A vital stepping stone to human evolution. 30 years ago, you showed us that it’s okay to be vulnerable, weak and unsure at times. Showing us to wear it on the outside, communicating to others that we are the same. Kurt, you are a vital contribution to human empathy
Dave knew the rules of selling out and he does it very well
3 decades ago, I was 15. What a time to be a teenager.
RIP Kurt Cobain ur music is amazing and wish we could hear more
I really like this video idea of just letting so many artist talk about him
i just read his autobiographical book ,, Heavier Than Heaven ''. Very good writer and heartbreaking story about sensitive man
I didn’t even know that existed, I’m gonna order the book too
@@ansjeliek i wasnt even a big nirvana fan but now i think i am because of this book and kurts persona
I don't think it was an autobiography. Chris Cross wrote it I think? The closest to autobiography is his Journals that they put out year later. I had a copy but my home flooded in Nov 2020 and I sadly lost alot of my music collection. But it was definitely great if you want inside the mind of the man.
@@jaycubmitchell8808 charles r. cross. Its one of the official biographies of kurt i think
I enjoyed reading his final actions and movement of what he was doing that only Kurt would know.
Or how good Courtney looks in the ambulance despite just waking up in perfect make up at 4am..5am or 6am.
Check out the P.I. hired Courtney Love named Tom Grant or UA-camr AmericanSpyFox.
It isn't a tin foil hat of group of fans.
His uncle Gary, his paternal grandfather, two retired SPD officers have stepped forward named Norm Stamper and Neil Low, friends of both Kurt and Courtney, former nannies/employees, and according Tom Grant the ex-mother-in-law of Frances Cobain's Mary Silva said that Wendy told her "They killed my baby.".
It's not just a tin foil hat conspiracy theory.
This was nice to see today, I miss Kurt everyday, I miss that excitement of the first time listening to these albums, every listen got better and better and it was a very exciting time for music. Rip Kurt❤
Born in April 91' so i was far too young to know what was going on during that time. I discovered Kurt & Nirvana after he had passed as a young kid, and i vaguely remember hearing a song off Nevermind (Teen Spirit or Come as You Are.. i really can't remember) But i remember feeling something i hadn't felt before hearing music.I was raised by a single mom, so all I recall hearing was country and the Christian radio station. So hearing something like that from a friend i had made in school was mind-blowing. I just remember thinking, "I like this. This is me. "
I've outgrown Nirvana's music, but still I can't believe it's been 30 years since his death. I envy those who got to see them live at least once (I was born in fall of 1993)
I miss you Kurt you’re a beautiful soul no matter what people say
I was 14 years old when you left this world 😢 I never had the chance to see you live I never stop listening to your music and videos I have a big collection of memories like books and things like that and when ever I see something new out I get it
Anyway we miss you Kurt
I knew the “hits” throughout the years growing up and what not but around 2017 I saw Montage of Heck and immediately wanted to learn those songs and play guitar. Being left handed I was just super inspired to learn and play and have been ever since. Thanks Kurdt!
I was only 9 when Kurt left this earth. But he was the first person I idolized. Nirvana had the biggest influence on who I am today. Good and bad. Never feeling comfortable with myself. Even amongst freinds, I felt like an outsider. But I knew, listening to Nirvana, there was a place out there for people like me.
Brilliantly put together. Rest in peace Kurt thank you for sharing your gift with us ❤❤❤
i remember walking into my aunts house and she rented a room out to this guy named robert and he was a total rocker metalhead and i came in being loud and he was listening to his little boombox radio and he shooshed me and told me to be quiet cause he was trying to listen and thats when i heard the news that kurt had been found dead.ill never forget. robert took it hard it was like his dog had just died. rip kurt your legacy lives on.
Wish so much that we could’ve had him longer. Loved his songs.
Kurt. I never knew you, but I miss you.
Kurt was it and he never wanna be it... And definitely not a group with fans that would have been bullying him in his puberty 😢 I'm to young for the hype only 7 when he died but I think he is still the last real rockstar
I was 10 years old when I found out Kurt Cobain passed away.😔🪦 I felt the whole world ended when I watched the MTV Breaking News!😫🌎 30 years later I still miss him. He was the reason why I wanted to play the guitar!🎸
Kurt’s legacy still lives on forever, touching other musicians out there inspired by him
Rest in Peace, Kurt 🙏🕊️🪦💐
love u kurt and miss u. wish u were still here. also, i like how they showed different artists talking about him, its nice. i also like the deftones in the background at 9:51 lol.
God I remember like it was yesterday Rest In Peace🙏😥👼🪽 Kurt ❤Love you and your music you will never be forgotten you will live forever in ur music ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Greatly missed and appreciated
Thanks!
I wasn’t alive when kurt passed but if i had been i would have cried. Nirvana has been one of my biggest influences ever. I’ll never forget the first time that i heard the album nevermind and learned the story of kurt cobain. I just wish that he hadn’t left so soon
R.I.P Kurt 🎸❤️😔
Is funny you know today is my birthday and kurt Cobain was very important to me, special in my writting, music taste and style to be. I love is work and is impact on my life. Legends never die.
Man, even though I wasn’t alive when Nirvana was successful. I do know good music when I hear it. Kirk Cobain is definitely one of the most talented musicians of all time.

R.I.P. Kurt we love you, thank you for everything you brought to us. Thank you for changing music to its best ❤❤❤❤❤
I was a sophomore in high school. As the word spread, the mood around campus went from normal to total, absolute and utter shock real quick. And then it stayed that way on campus for the rest of the week.
Iconic. A cold april morning turned into a nightmare.
Was 14 and must had been on spring break. Freshman in H.S. My dad was a foreman and he took me to his job site that day. I was sitting in the car listening to our local alternative station when the news broke. Shook my little world then.
Wow 😮, 30 years later, where has the time gone? When I heard the news 🗞️ of Kurt’s passing, it put me in a funk 😒 for awhile. Always loved Nirvana’s music back in that time period. I don’t listen 🎧 too much anymore. Every now and then, I’ll listen 👂 to a track or two. It still saddens me though. I truly hope that Kurt’s found true peace ☮️.
*Kurt Cobain, was and still is a legend now matter how long he passed away there was something about his voice that I love his music.*
I was eleven years old in 1994 when Kurt Cobain died at the age of twenty. My youngest brother had turned thirteen years old and my oldest brother was fourteen years old and was almost fifteen.
He was 27.
My heart goes out to everyone who knew Kurt and everyone who thought they knew him. To his fans. To anyone who cared.💔
I love you Kurt ❤
Kurt’s legacy will live on for generations to come.
I Need to stop watching these vids they always make me cry
This day is forever burned into my brain. I remember watching the coverage of Kurt's death on MTV & not being able to make sense of it. It was surreal. For those of us who felt like outsiders, bands like Nirvana, Sonic Youth, The Cure, & countless others, provided us with a sense of belonging. I'm closer to 50 than I care to admit, but I still find solace in Kurt's music when things get tough. He was a brilliant songwriter.
The most impressive is that when he was very young he said, i will be a musician, a songwriter, then i will become famous, and after that, i will die. 😳
The opening statement of the video of each generation having that one death that shook a generation I wouldn't even know where to begin with gen z we've lost so many people it's sad thinking about it.
❤miss u
I miss you more every day, Kurt. Rest in peace, dear friend.
I was 20 years old when he died. I remember what I said about it that day. I remember a lot, and I've lived to see generations since inherit some kind of revised history.
If you want to know what it was like, ask someone who lived through it, don't form opinions based on second hand stuff.
I like how two retired SPD officers have stepped forward wanting the case reopened, not reviewed. Norm Stamper regrets not doing the correct job the first time around and would reopen case, and Neil Low has come forward believes that Cobain was murdered.
His own autopsy shows that he had over six medications in his system (that's excluding the massive amount of heroin), injuries on his body, probably strangled and several other things that are not public knowledge but are all mentioned in the autopsy despite it be ruled a suicide.
Check out the P.I. Tom Grant or UA-camr AmericanSpyFox because they've gained access to Kurt Cobain's autopsy. Tom Grant through a Doctor in England ( I believe) and AmericanSpyFox through a relative of Kurt Cobain's.
It isn't always a group of tin foil hats..sometimes where there is smoke, there is a fire.
and what steps have they taken to get it reopened? selling books and appearing in a conspiracy theory documentary? those two are grifters who have never cited any actual evidence that would warrant opening up yet a third investigation into this. It is a group of tin foil hatters and the fact you take a clown like American Spy Fox seriously speaks for itself. The autopsy report was a big nothingburger.
I was eight.
Man.....30 years already. And he's still relevant.
RIP Legend,you are missed and you have missed alot.Forever remembered 💔🖤
So heartbreaking 💔
