I just noticed that the interviewer isn't interrupting or talking over him like every damn host today; Jimmy 'Fake Laugh' Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Conan, Corden.... it just caught me off guard that the interviewer is actually listening to Kurt
I think that people really respected him and to interviewed him was an honor, so they gave the time to listen what he had to say. If he was alive now, he would probably hate the shit out of those disrespectful interviewers.
Yeah, that was my thought, exactly. My grandma, daughter of a traditional country-healer, always told me, nervous stomach&gut issues one has to solve by oneself, testing traditional stomach-remedies one after the other for a month, excluding all other foods, until you find the right one for your specific problem. My grandmum found apple-vinegar before meals, though her mother alays insisted on dandelion-salad, my father dropped all cowsmilk and because he had also liver issues switched to golden millet and lentils instead of corns, my mum hates millet and swears on curd. I did well by simply not eating in the evening and drinking cheese poplar before bed. My doctor gave me gut-bacterias and some pills, I think was L-Lysine, and that helped, too. But not eating in the afternoon and skipping alcohols did the trick.
It's not just gastrointestinal doctors. I have been to several doctors that are significantly less informed that I am on the subject im experiencing. My mother and step father and aunts have all have perfectly similar negative experiences. Don't get me started with pain doctors and hormone replacement centers.... you have 2 kinds of doctors.... ones that will give you such a ridiculously small dose that it isn't even close to effective, or the 2nd type of doctor will give you a huuuuuuuge dose and is basically just catering to abusers. You have one doctor fighting tooth and nail to make sure NO ONE gets the medicine they need because 3% of people are abusing it, and then you have the doctor that is getting rich off people abusing drugs and has no concern about your personal health and if you're not informed on your own they can end up doing very harmful things to you.
@@travelreview5962 I totally agree. It’s definitely not just gastrointestinal doctors. And yeah they are almost always less informed than me on whatever chronic illness I’m going in for. I’ve honestly learned more on Reddit subs and other people who are dealing with the same issues than any doctor could tell me. I even cancelled my insurance because how disgusted I was with the medical industry.
I hope she didn't kill him. He probably would've done that on his own accord. Once a person is suicidal, it's very difficult to get them off that path. Because you can't be there forever for them.
This is a class interviewer. He lets Kurt speak his mind without interrupting him and he doesn’t push him for answers the way that other interviewers do.
This was for a special called _Nirvana: Past, Present, and Future_ (a sadly ironic title since it was from late 1993). The format included a lot of talking head shots, so it was the format that it was used for that determined the method.
Loder's style was then prevalent. Sound biting wasn't *as* vogue. '90s communication was more drawn out, not in the number of syllables used in each word (Gen Y), but, rather, the number of words in a paragraph (like here...). Loder was preceded by Dick Cavett, Tom Snyder, and Donahue. Jerry Rivers came later and helped usher in an increasingly sensationalist media arena. Rivers was tame compared to the interviewers that popped up, and even he didn't sound bite much. That was for Orpah Winfrey (although her sound biting was always pleasant!) Jerry Springer and Maury Povich (their sound biting was not). Although not initially, Montell Williams also brought in mansplaining to underage females. Every episode was him playing big daddy. He helped bring in what you accurately comment on.
I feel like kurt also knew how good he was. Kurt didn't blow his cigrette smoke in his face and let him ask the questions. This was like a best friend conversation.
@Logic it is indeed, unfortunately most interviewers aren't just there for a nice convo, they're there to get information that will drive interest, that normally involves pressing to get the 'scoop' Even if the interviewee gets annoyed, that's enough normally lol They're vultures man
My fiancé’s grandpa went to a nirvana concert in ‘93 when his grandpa was about 29. He got to meet kurt even got a record signed by him. (We can’t find it though, his grandpa died the same year as Kurt and we are still going through his stuff to try to find it)
Bro I so agree with you. I really wish I had the chance of a lifetime to go and see them in concert, it really hits me hard to think that I’ll never hear them in person.. 🤘❤️long live Nirvana
Very subtle thing to notice about Kurt in this video is how he’s blowing his cigarette smoke up and not directly into the interviewers face who probably doesn’t smoke but didn’t care if Kurt did. Subconsciously showed you the consideration/respect he had for others despite what media wanted to portray him and his music as
He always came off as sweet and kind in interviews. He was a gentle soul. Perhaps that is part of the reason he couldn't take this world/life. He knew it was too dark and cold.
Dude this sucks to hear about him talking about how he felt suicidal and how he woke up crying and in pain, forcing himself to eat... and then realizing his fate. I freaking love Kurt man. He was such a smart person and Nirvana was amazing
@@blueriver4484 I'm going to trust his own opinion of his own intelligence over your opinion of his intelligence. I'm pretty sure he states that he thinks he's dumb lol. Plus the wise man always feels that he's not that smart because he realizes the vastness of information to withhold and how one can only grab so little in a lifetime and in that realization he realizes he's dumb. With that realization he is wise. F*** with me
One of the most intriguing people in rock ever. He sounds a lot smarter than what the media made of him. I always think about him when I drive through Aberdeen.
Once he got labeled a drug addict or a junky that’s all he was saw as in media for the most part, even at the 1994 mtv awards during a tribute to him someone in the crowd yells “junky” it’s unfortunate
I love the fact the interviewer actually sits and listens to him without interrupting, genuinely taking interest and acknowledging, having a real conversation with him, not just fireshot questions and speaking over.
His voice and his singing voice are both one of a kind and unmatched.. sorry for repeating what u said lol, i just concur.. his voice has like this slight raspyness but so gentle and soothing and calming and relaxed
J3TTXZ - You sir hit the nail on the head. Fame is crazy! Once you are famous everyone will love you for no reason. I like Nirvana and all that but to say, "they don't make them like him" is bullshit. And as you said, no one would care if he wasn't famous. You and I know this. I have a band with bad ass songs but no one gives a shit cause we are not famous. I recall reading a story that Nirvana played at a club in my hometown where 15-20 people showed up and 6 months later after nevermind came out they were playing the cow place in SFO after the big labels pushed the hell outta of this band (i.e. massive media exposure, in showbiz they call this blowing up a band through marketing and advertising). That's the power of fame. 6 months before this they were literally pretty much like a band like mine today. Fame is funny!
Now that I’m a bit older I really can realize how young he actually was when he passed. The dude had so much wisdom and accomplished so much in such a short time.
What an absolute gem of a person: so creative, so honest, such integrity in his work and respecting the creations of others. I love how he smiled when they talked about Frances. I wish he never left us.
All interviewers are supposed to be kind and respectful. YOU are just to used to seeing stupid reality TV that is totally staged and not even real. Normal human beings are naturally kind and respectful, it is the media that wants you to think most humans are dirtbags.
Although it sucks he's dead he is immortalized. He will always be 27, he will always be relevant and always in his peak. "It's better to burn out than fade away"
At 13:30, when he's speaking of putting Francis in the Sliver video, he finishes answering the question but he smiles and you can see his mind wonder off, thinking about his daughter. He is lost in the thoughts of his baby girl, which I think looks eerily like him now that she is grown.
I'll never forget Kurt's mom at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame when she said "He'd be so proud. He'd say he wasn't. But he would be". Man. Wish he was still here.
@@picklerick2865 it always starts with the parents and how they handle it with their kids after a divorce. Handle it wrong and you get a resentful rebellious bitter teenager like Kurt was.
Were you around when he was alive? Dude the last months of his life was so hard on us. Because he tried to kill himself in Rome then months later he did it. It was terrible
he feels that way but at the same time he's the only celebrity i've come across who genuinely feels like a real person. there doesn't have to be any reminders, and there are probably a lot of factors that play into that from the way he dressed to his personality. but it really is something i love about him, he didn't change after he got famous
This is what I miss about the 90s, the way that people generally talked about things, it was a good intellectual conversation. People weren't afraid to say exactly what they thought. Not looking for politically correct angles.
Drugs will only make it worse. My nephew died in Aug. He was a huge Cobain fan (Kurt would hate that statement). Now his family is living a cruel existence.
Imagine making 100 million dollars in just 2 years without being an egomaniac CEO, a corrupt politician, a dictator, a shameless celebrity, or a youtuber with no real talent. Kurt did it and he still talked like this: like a human being. Amazing.
He only earned $1M in two years and 300k went to lawyers and 300k in taxes. When he d*** he hardly had any money left and a mortgage of $1,2M from the house in Seattle he had just bought. It's a shame the people you are describing were the ones who got the $100M. He deserved more
@@lorna3867Incorrect. Kurt’s net worth at the time of his death was almost 50 million dollars. Now his estate is worth upwards of 450 million. He had talked to lawyers to exclude Courtney from his will because he was going to divorce her since he found out she was cheating on him. He went on an extensive heroin bender leading to rehab then another bender then suicide and never signed it.
@@cactaceous Iegal documents debunk the gossip you just wrote. Kurt's bank account was made public during the '94 court hearings because he died without a wiII. The news articles documenting the Iegal process are still online. And please explain why Kurt threatened to divorce on March 1 after a fight (the same day he told his entertainment lawyer, not his family lawyer btw), and two days later he bought diamonds and roses for Courtney. It seems you've been reading one of those sites that hide the truth from fans in order to make them believe in the cons. If you verified what you've been told you'd realize most of the drama has been fabricated throughout the years. Cheers
It always meant money. Nostalgia even brightens the worst shite. Having nostalgia for MTV is like having nostalgia for Blockbuster video, Myspace, and the early days of Hot Topic.
The relationship between the gut and mind is very real - there is an absolute link between stomach ailments and depression. Sadly, if Kurt had not relied on self-medicating and had sought treatment for his depression, he might still be here. Or, maybe not. May he rest peacefully…he is very much, missed.
The medication he talks about was experimental and his doctor was unable to keep prescribing it, likely resulting in the pain coming back full force. It’s painful to see as someone with chronic pain, gut or otherwise. It’s hard to keep going when you’ve felt relief and have had it taken away.
This man was honestly a good man. I don't think it matters what music he made. This man is a calm person and he is just a good guy. His death anniversary just passed. We love and miss you Kurt
Heroin.... And you will be calm and on top of the fucking world, until you come crashing down, repeat. Addicts are misunderstood, the drugs are a solution, not the problem. They become a problem, but the illness still waits for you.
@zephyra lol, I know you are trolling, but in all seriousness, for those who don't understand addiction. It's a lack of spirituality. You are broken, and habitual drug use is a symptom of this, while it becomes a massive problem in itself, if you can find a purpose in life, something bigger than you, and you can heal, the drugs will not appeal to you snymore. Most think that drug addicts are just scared of the withdrawals. Hell no, post acute withdrawal is much worse, it's as if there's an infinite void that you can never fill, even the drugs themselves end up being not enough and that's when things really start to go south. I don't believe in a God, or rather, the God of the people, and when you go into recovery, God is pushed so hard, and if it does not resonate with you, you will relapse.... Continue trolling, as you will...
@@SyNKevN I can relate, I self harm and I do it because of how it helps me with dealing with that void. Self medication is common amongst the depressed
There's something about Kurt that saddens me a lot. I mean when I see him, when I hear him talk, there's something in his voice, in his eyes, he looks like he's kind of lost, like he's just trying to get through life somehow, but it's too hard for him, I feel like he didn't belong here. Even when he smiles, he looks kinda lost and sad, it just breaks my heart. I hope he's better now, wherever you are Kurt, may you be in peace. ♥
+haritz eraso Right! Coming off H can make you lose your mind and make your stomach hurt. He's scratching his nose, he has raspy H voice he looks lost because he's fighting a nod.
I always felt the same way for such a long time. But I realized we still have the music, the albums, the art, the DVDs , the bootlegs, etc. Nirvana's legacy will forever live on. They still are very much relevant in this world. I always felt like Kurt was so ahead of his time with his style, his art, his writings, music, and his intelligence. RIP Kurt Donald Cobain. Gone, but not forgotten. He lives in the hearts of the fans, friends, and family.
+Molly O'Curnain I am not trying to argue with a fellow fan and we should both feel stupid for trying to decode kurt's songs because we both know they really didn't mean anything just sentences thrown together at the last minute. But where did you ever see or hear that he drank that for stomach pain? In his own journals he said his friends have tried it for abortion and that it didn't work. I have been a fan a long time but I have never heard he drank that himself. Thank you
+Molly O'Curnain Yeah I found that weird because unless Kurt had a female anatomy and was pregnant, there really is no reason to drink it. I thought I was going to learn something new today but it's ok. peace.
I grew up seeing clips of this interview as a teenager here and there. I’m 32 now, Kurt still seems older than I am. I can’t imagine handling life as he did it experienced now much less a few years ago. Even Hendrix, Morrison etc they all seem..just ageless but older no matter how much time moves. I suppose that is part of the mythos of them. 14 year old me would have loved to find a full 30 minute Cobain interview inside his head, 32 year old me just wonders how that life must have felt
It’s funny watching Kurt now, being 17 years older than Kurt was when he died, and remembering being 7 years younger than Kurt when he was alive....... it’s like looking at your mum and dads wedding photo as you grow up. For so long as a kid your dad looks old in it, and one day you look and you see how young your dad really was and how much older you are.
That's exactly what I was just thinking. I was only 12 when he died. I saw this & understood a good bit, but thought he was old & miserable. Now I watch this & see he was just a baby😔
This is such a brilliant interview. Kurt seems so at ease and forthcoming. Which he often doesn't in interviews. A lot of credit goes to the interviewer. He didn't push or try to be too clever. He just let Kurt talk.
that’s my dad :) he talks about how genuinely happy he was that he was doing better (with his stomach issues and such) and then suddenly he just died four months later
Oh god Kurt is not having fun at all in this interview. He clearly gets annoyed because he finds the questions irrelevant and at the end of the interview he is just answering whatever. I think like most people didn't want to talk unless is organic.
My confession: every time I get too high or too drunk or too crossed, I watch this video. When I’m panicking I watch this video. It’s the longest, straight up just Kurt cobain talking interview I can find. He’s just so calming
Same. It's just like having a friend talk you down. He's so laid-back and soothing but you still get the feeling that he cares about what he's talking about
Mr. Mr. Well he was an infp personality type likely. I am too and I'm also restless even when tired. I'm not that calm though, I think the drugs might be calming him down so much
@@usualdosage7287 I dont know him unfortunately, but one side effect of depression is low, or no energy. You just feel tired all the time, I have this.
@@cam-gv2gf still he acts as he would in just a more exaggerated manner. So here it's obvious how he just doesn't have energy anymore but is still in a constant mind race.
Kurt's voice is honestly therapy for me. His smile makes me feel something I've never felt before. It is possible to be in love with someone you've never met.
@Reezay Yeees ( ´ ▽ ` ) And maybe just sharing stories or making random sounds he likes and enjoying himself. Something about him brings me joy as it is so I feel all that would be even more soothing xD
I think everything happens for a reason. I can't picture him living in today's society and quite frankly I don't think he'd want to either. A unique guy for sure.
Mariah K. I totally agree with you.He kinda knew the worst is coming and it would not be better for him in the future. These people have a high sense of whats coming.
Yes, he wouldn’t be happy with the world today! He probably knew what was coming ahead. Music has changed so much and now the world is more out of control! He’s be so sad. He would have so much trouble with society. In a twisted way, he was better off. ❤️
Oh god no, he would hate today's world waaaaaaaaaaay more than he hated the world in 1994...especially the social media and people recording everything
Gavin mf yeah he said when he was a teenager that he was gonna become a big rock star and kill himself and join the 27 club, that's why i believe that he could have been murdered, if you say it and talk about it all the time people won't question it when it happens, and Courtney knew that, i'm just so conflicted when it comes to his death, i kinda believe both theory's, both are possible and believable to me
@@mikewazowski1003 , It could go either way. He may or may not have been murderd. But if he'd commited suicide then Cortney definitely had something to do with it.
16:27….. He was very smart and grounded. That’s very practical thinking of not wasting money on tons of videos when your music is successful, you’re already touring Etc. I’ve only recently started looking into nirvana (Kurt Cobain) more specifically, and I’m blown away by how raw and kind he was despite success. That always seems to be the way, all these “real” down to earth, talented, yet tortured souls, we lose. Kurt, Robin Williams, Princess Diana, very different but all have that sadness in their eyes if you take the time to notice. Such a loss.
This interview is a huge eye opener. I admire his honesty. He seems as if he had already came to terms with the pain...he seems as if he was still trying to be strong mentally.
I don't care what people think or say about this man in negative. He is and was by far talented and very smart. Just was in pain. To be in so much pain in body and mind to take your life. Now that's a hurt you can't feel or know unless you are there, got there, or were there. A soul that will live on and still is loved. RIP. Hope you are free of pain.
This is the first time I’ve seen this interview in years and I am struck by how calming this is. It’s oddly comforting and soothing to listen to. And it makes me cry a little bit too, looking back to that time. As the years pass, I talk to other people my age about how me and my friends skipped school and listened to music the day the news broke about his death. We were in the middle of Texas. And without the internet connecting us at the time, I find more people who did the same thing, grieved in the same ways. It’s kinda cool.
@@levelofsnipes7378 I mean if you leave out all that stuff, he just seems like a chill guy. Yknow? I know you didn’t say this, but I bet a lot of people are thinking it, but just because you did drugs doesn’t mean you’re a bad person you feel me?
His parents weren't their for him. Sensitive people like Kurt need to be loved and supported. I hope parents talk with their kids find out what's in their heads so their bodies don't break down to sadness. He was such a sweetheart where his parents just messed with his mind and heart.
Sounds weak to me... Shit my parents didnt talk to me about anything. Left me with my grandparents most of the time.i dealt with itm Youre just justifying his weakness. Deal with it.
DecimateGamer91 your what's wrong in this society. People like you fail to see that everyone is different and being sensitive doesn't mean being weak you idiot.
Whatizup no im what needs to happen in this society. Need to grow a pair and deal with life. All these suicidal fuckheads need to just do it already. Survival of the fittest. Natural selection will take care of them
jage you’re exactly right and that’s why when people come to me with the bs Murder conspiracy I just shut them down and try to tell him he was predisposed to suicide and had a horrible childhood , and throw heroin in the mix.. perfect cocktail for his suicide
As someone who has had huge stomach problems and pain since childhood I can so relate to this. Been a Nirvana fan forever. I was in school when I heard about Kurt. He was and will for ever be loved 🖤
The K-dog you called him pathetic for voicing the way he feels , this isn't trolling at all. Its just disrespectful and ignorant . If you got a kick from that you're the one who should be called "pethetic". Your life is that boring that you attempt at trolling and can't get that right either.
He was gorgeous and I can't believe the trash he was with. ( He even wanted to divorce Courtney love ) I always though she had something to do with his death. She never loved him
I remember watching this interview back when I was 17... I'm 44 years old now... All I can say is thank you for sharing this video. And that Kurt Cobain shall never be forgotten.
@@m.al-h9108 There's so many Kurt Cobain idolisers who think he was the perfect human being, most of them end up being 14 year olds and unable to comprehend that most humans have deep flaws, in this case it worked well for him and he exploited it to the maximum, while being perfectly aware of what he was doing, he wasn't innocent, he was cunning.
@@m.al-h9108 I do always think about this, the only reason he has such a legacy is because he took his own life, there's lots of other musicians as talented as him who don't get nearly enough credit. He's a heroin addict who happened to make good music, there's lots of those around.
Yes who knows that he did that much drugs before the end. In this interview he doesn't have stomach pain any more and he says he'd thought about doing heroine to get rid of the stomach pain. I guess it came back so he did heroine. I don't think he comes across as stoned in this interview at all.
Lisa G I'm guessing you've not been around many ppl on tranquilizers or heroin... he is so slowed down here. He is 100% high. His super slow eye movements, how carefully he takes a sip off his water... it's textbook high on heroin behavior.
Aria.Diablo Kurt disliked Smells Like Teen Spirit, he said that there are so many better songs on Nevermind and he didn’t get why Teen Spirit got so big. So I think that’s what he meant by it
the part where the interviewer asks him how his stomach is, he just seemed so calm, and that makes me happy. thank you kurt for being the person that calms me down when i’m at my most anxious points :)
@@Iris-ok5dc you can tell he’s high on heroin here his voice for one and jus how he looks he looks blasted no hate to the guy tho we all have our problems
I was recommended this video after studying dialects, Kurt had such a classic WA accent with the kinda gentle take on words and the vocal "creak" or as I prefer, "rust" and I'm selfishly pleased I share the same creaky accent. I just know he's resting good with no pain, creating art and music with no pressure. He deserves it.
@@danganronpaxoxo7201 Actually your half lucky, since Justin Bieber is a Piscean too. the worst Pisces out of all!. i'm Leo, like Madonna, Whitney Houston, J-Lo and JAMES HETFIELD!
Crohn’s disease is what I’ve read he had- my teenage son almost got addicted to pain killers after his diagnosis- so much pain. Took years to be diagnosed properly. Everything Kurt says rings true to us. I think he really was in pain physically and mentally.
Lunchlady Kim Hopefully Your Son is doing fine and will have remission, I have the same Disease for about 7 years now and it’s not easy... I hope you two stay safe!
Lunchlady Kim When I Was First Diagnosed It was horrible, I had No appetite, didn’t eat at all any day, lost 100 pounds insanely quick... so scary! My parents had put me on so many different things, methotrexate, Pills of many sorts, and much more that I can’t remember, but finally 4 years ago I was put on Humira, and Honestly, It’s really made me feel SO much better! It really was the best option for me. Thanks for asking, and I hope Your son feels better and all being in remission, I’m glad he’s doing better!
Its sad when most everyone dies. At least he didn't die when he was 5, and we never would have been blessed with his great music. That's how u need to think about these things
Props to this interviewer for being so patient and not rushing anything. I wish kurt could’ve seen why he was loved not only for his music, but for himself. He’s such an intriguing and talented person and I hope he’s at peace now ❤️
Some doctors do it right and incorporate therapy, physical therapy, and tests to diagnose off of symptoms. And once they diagnose they have a good lead on what to prescribe that's best suited for their health. The process is structured in a complicated way in America. People can't reach out unless they can afford it. People don't keep track of any other symptoms that leads up to the final straw where you're in the ER begging for help. It's sad that you have to decide if the pain you're in is worth getting help because you have to chose between food/rent/bills or help. And when you show up finally, doctors are going to try to get the pain you're in under control before they can diagnose. It's not entirely doctors fault but the governments fault for not providing a better and more accessible healthcare system for any class.
he would have laughed and made fun of podcasts, especially social media. He generally hated interviews. This is coming from a 40 something year old who knew all about Kurt and seen Nirvana live.
@@volkssturm9694 ?? just because he didn’t like interviews (there’s something called changing your mind btw) doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have loved to have a podcast of his own to express himself or talk about modern music or smth...We can never know, get over yourself.
Leo Vares elsewhere yes. Here in the US no. Hospitals in the US are just places looking to empty your pockets as much as they can. They tried charging my mom almost 100k for a surgery when almost all of the charges were for doctors who were just in the room not doing anything
I don't think today's culture would even know what to make of a guy like this, sitting at a house party, just chilling out. He's so sensitive and calm.
@@tiffanyroseangeles7517 mystery is attractive. i myself a very quiet and reserved person fall for these shy esoteric girls hard. hit my head on the way down
16:55 - "I've got a few ideas for the 'Rape Me' video." But Kurt said he'll save it for another time. There wasn't gonna be another time and that really...saddens me. I'd love to know or even see just... _something._
@cabbageting5044 that he does. Being high on heroin causes your brain to crumble. I think he speaks only what he wants them to know. And I think he also sometimes gives people what they want. But all in all, he was a man that liked to be in a band and play, not be famous. He didn't like having a ton of money because he was always poor and so he felt that money didn't change anything. I like the fact that he always stayed the way he looked from the get go.
@@lydibug51. Being on heroin was to perform so he could tell how bad it is to be on pills for ADHD and forced to sit in a chair all day and answer to a bell. And be told your sick when you’re just sad.
If someone told me that all of the Kardashians fell of the face of the earth. I would say thank GAWD! On the other hand I just could not picture Kurt in this day and age, his death at the time was just so unfortunate though.
Hearing this is giving me chills, its literally like I'm listening to my late brother talk, who also had severe stomach issues since childhood and was constantly on drugs to ease the pain. (Had stomach surgery, spent alot of time in hospitals etc.) And once the prescribed drugs weren't enough for him, he turned to hard opiates and then heroin and eventually passed away. My bro was a HUGE fan of Kurt Cobain and loved/ related to his music. I'm not religious but, I hope they are both, resting in an eternal state of nirvana 🤘
I wish Kurt knew, he was gonna be loved by every generation ever.
he did know that. he felt pressured by that
@@weaponizedestrogen exactly, that's not necessarily good

True af! In this interview tho, they cut out the interviewers voice for a documentary.
Cuz he is fuckin listening to a legend
While I agree, there's a difference between a normal interview and an interview for a talk show. Talk shows are mostly about the host.
Kurt: I'd rather not answer that

What’s wild is. This was over 30 years ago and what he says about gastrointestinal doctors is still spot on to this day.
Yeah, that was my thought, exactly. My grandma, daughter of a traditional country-healer, always told me, nervous stomach&gut issues one has to solve by oneself, testing traditional stomach-remedies one after the other for a month, excluding all other foods, until you find the right one for your specific problem.
My grandmum found apple-vinegar before meals, though her mother alays insisted on dandelion-salad, my father dropped all cowsmilk and because he had also liver issues switched to golden millet and lentils instead of corns, my mum hates millet and swears on curd. I did well by simply not eating in the evening and drinking cheese poplar before bed. My doctor gave me gut-bacterias and some pills, I think was L-Lysine, and that helped, too. But not eating in the afternoon and skipping alcohols did the trick.
Yep, went to the doctor for years for similar issues. They never helped it.
@@BeansEnjoyer911 Same here. I gave up on doctors.
It's not just gastrointestinal doctors. I have been to several doctors that are significantly less informed that I am on the subject im experiencing. My mother and step father and aunts have all have perfectly similar negative experiences. Don't get me started with pain doctors and hormone replacement centers.... you have 2 kinds of doctors.... ones that will give you such a ridiculously small dose that it isn't even close to effective, or the 2nd type of doctor will give you a huuuuuuuge dose and is basically just catering to abusers. You have one doctor fighting tooth and nail to make sure NO ONE gets the medicine they need because 3% of people are abusing it, and then you have the doctor that is getting rich off people abusing drugs and has no concern about your personal health and if you're not informed on your own they can end up doing very harmful things to you.
@@travelreview5962 I totally agree.
It’s definitely not just gastrointestinal doctors. And yeah they are almost always less informed than me on whatever chronic illness I’m going in for. I’ve honestly learned more on Reddit subs and other people who are dealing with the same issues than any doctor could tell me. I even cancelled my insurance because how disgusted I was with the medical industry.
Hearing someone who died by suicide talk about being suicidal in my opinion has got to be one of the saddest most haunting things ever.
courtney killed him no doubt
It sucks when people with thoughts of suicide get murdered because it's so easy to just think they took their own life...
@@herelieskittythomas3726 you're stupid too
@@lottofever3061 she didn’t pull the trigger.
I hope she didn't kill him. He probably would've done that on his own accord. Once a person is suicidal, it's very difficult to get them off that path. Because you can't be there forever for them.
Kurt could talk about types of trees and I'd listen to him for hours.
same here
Simran Sinha me too
Same!
Sit and listen the montage of heck: the home recordings full and you’ll have something to think about
trees? do u have the link i wana check
This is a class interviewer. He lets Kurt speak his mind without interrupting him and he doesn’t push him for answers the way that other interviewers do.
I wished Michael Jackson could've had this kind of interviewer.
Loner Phoenix yep
This was for a special called _Nirvana: Past, Present, and Future_ (a sadly ironic title since it was from late 1993). The format included a lot of talking head shots, so it was the format that it was used for that determined the method.
Loder's style was then prevalent. Sound biting wasn't *as* vogue. '90s communication was more drawn out, not in the number of syllables used in each word (Gen Y), but, rather, the number of words in a paragraph (like here...).
Loder was preceded by Dick Cavett, Tom Snyder, and Donahue. Jerry Rivers came later and helped usher in an increasingly sensationalist media arena. Rivers was tame compared to the interviewers that popped up, and even he didn't sound bite much. That was for Orpah Winfrey (although her sound biting was always pleasant!) Jerry Springer and Maury Povich (their sound biting was not). Although not initially, Montell Williams also brought in mansplaining to underage females. Every episode was him playing big daddy. He helped bring in what you accurately comment on.
I feel like kurt also knew how good he was. Kurt didn't blow his cigrette smoke in his face and let him ask the questions. This was like a best friend conversation.
If only Kurt knew how uniquely talented and brilliant he really was. Anyone out there thinking of taking their lives, know you are loved and special.
I like how the interviewer is respectful enough to not push on the topics Kurt wanted to avoid
Wish we had that now days
@@firelordzuko9972 we literally do
@Logic it is indeed, unfortunately most interviewers aren't just there for a nice convo, they're there to get information that will drive interest, that normally involves pressing to get the 'scoop'
Even if the interviewee gets annoyed, that's enough normally lol
They're vultures man
Logic ahh true that maybe it’s just a play
Ur probably right as well I can’t see him answering anything pushy and annoying

Very subtle thing to notice about Kurt in this video is how he’s blowing his cigarette smoke up and not directly into the interviewers face who probably doesn’t smoke but didn’t care if Kurt did. Subconsciously showed you the consideration/respect he had for others despite what media wanted to portray him and his music as
Your so right I love watching this just now it taught me a lot about his character and how respectful the interviewer was. ❤✌️
He always came off as sweet and kind in interviews. He was a gentle soul. Perhaps that is part of the reason he couldn't take this world/life. He knew it was too dark and cold.
@@danielleschiazza6172he said he loved people too much that’s why he committed suicide

With that realization he is wise. F*** with me
@@barreldreamz7852 wise does not correlate to intelligence. The wise man knows he cant be smart. The smart man knows he cant be wise.
One of the most intriguing people in rock ever. He sounds a lot smarter than what the media made of him. I always think about him when I drive through Aberdeen.
I think everyone knew he was an intelligent person. But when the label ‘junky’ hits you, there is hardly any understanding left.
Not gonna like cause it's at 69 but yes
Once he got labeled a drug addict or a junky that’s all he was saw as in media for the most part, even at the 1994 mtv awards during a tribute to him someone in the crowd yells “junky” it’s unfortunate
They usually are. Imagine someone close to him introducing him to this dr*g and continually watch this decline..
''Welcome to Aberdeen Come as you are.''
I noticed he never blew the smoke down or at the interviewer he always blew it above the interviewers head
he always does this, I've noticed it too. I was the same when I was a smoker.
He’s afraid of giving him a bad experience.
Pedro Rivera he kept in mind that heat rises.
Ok press up your cigs 🐄
Boa anyone who smokes ciggys does that what’s so special bout him doing it😂😂

Yes, a humble gentle soul.
Yes they do, my outer personality is just like his...and on top of that if Kurt never got famous you wouldn't give two shits about him
J3TTXZ - You sir hit the nail on the head. Fame is crazy! Once you are famous everyone will love you for no reason. I like Nirvana and all that but to say, "they don't make them like him" is bullshit. And as you said, no one would care if he wasn't famous. You and I know this. I have a band with bad ass songs but no one gives a shit cause we are not famous. I recall reading a story that Nirvana played at a club in my hometown where 15-20 people showed up and 6 months later after nevermind came out they were playing the cow place in SFO after the big labels pushed the hell outta of this band (i.e. massive media exposure, in showbiz they call this blowing up a band through marketing and advertising). That's the power of fame. 6 months before this they were literally pretty much like a band like mine today. Fame is funny!
That's what I say all the time!
Now that I’m a bit older I really can realize how young he actually was when he passed. The dude had so much wisdom and accomplished so much in such a short time.
What an absolute gem of a person: so creative, so honest, such integrity in his work and respecting the creations of others. I love how he smiled when they talked about Frances. I wish he never left us.

All interviewers are supposed to be kind and respectful. YOU are just to used to seeing stupid reality TV that is totally staged and not even real. Normal human beings are naturally kind and respectful, it is the media that wants you to think most humans are dirtbags.
Although it sucks he's dead he is immortalized. He will always be 27, he will always be relevant and always in his peak. "It's better to burn out than fade away"

Forever young
Ethan Bradberry that was the last thing on his suicide note
1967 to infinity. His ex-home is nearby for me
Didn't Frances Bean say almost the exact same thing?
At 13:30, when he's speaking of putting Francis in the Sliver video, he finishes answering the question but he smiles and you can see his mind wonder off, thinking about his daughter. He is lost in the thoughts of his baby girl, which I think looks eerily like him now that she is grown.
If you think _that's_ eerie, look up pics of Kurt's father... you'll think Kirk was part of a cloning experiment.
I'll never forget Kurt's mom at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame when she said "He'd be so proud. He'd say he wasn't. But he would be". Man. Wish he was still here.
His mother screwed him up as well Kicking him out of home and then acts like the nicest lady.

he feels that way but at the same time he's the only celebrity i've come across who genuinely feels like a real person. there doesn't have to be any reminders, and there are probably a lot of factors that play into that from the way he dressed to his personality. but it really is something i love about him, he didn't change after he got famous

Kash Eshaghi Thats exactly what I'm doing right now, after all of these years society hasn't changed a bit .
tbh even when he isn't singing his voice sounds so theraputic.
***** Damn, someone's salty. Rude as fuck,
Drugs will only make it worse. My nephew died in Aug. He was a huge Cobain fan (Kurt would hate that statement). Now his family is living a cruel existence.
Imagine making 100 million dollars in just 2 years without being an egomaniac CEO, a corrupt politician, a dictator, a shameless celebrity, or a youtuber with no real talent. Kurt did it and he still talked like this: like a human being. Amazing.
He only earned $1M in two years and 300k went to lawyers and 300k in taxes. When he d*** he hardly had any money left and a mortgage of $1,2M from the house in Seattle he had just bought. It's a shame the people you are describing were the ones who got the $100M. He deserved more
@@lorna3867Incorrect. Kurt’s net worth at the time of his death was almost 50 million dollars. Now his estate is worth upwards of 450 million. He had talked to lawyers to exclude Courtney from his will because he was going to divorce her since he found out she was cheating on him. He went on an extensive heroin bender leading to rehab then another bender then suicide and never signed it.
@@cactaceous Iegal documents debunk the gossip you just wrote. Kurt's bank account was made public during the '94 court hearings because he died without a wiII. The news articles documenting the Iegal process are still online. And please explain why Kurt threatened to divorce on March 1 after a fight (the same day he told his entertainment lawyer, not his family lawyer btw), and two days later he bought diamonds and roses for Courtney. It seems you've been reading one of those sites that hide the truth from fans in order to make them believe in the cons. If you verified what you've been told you'd realize most of the drama has been fabricated throughout the years. Cheers

All these comments are just brilliant, i had to like them all
It always meant money. Nostalgia even brightens the worst shite. Having nostalgia for MTV is like having nostalgia for Blockbuster video, Myspace, and the early days of Hot Topic.
Now its moron
The relationship between the gut and mind is very real - there is an absolute link between stomach ailments and depression. Sadly, if Kurt had not relied on self-medicating and had sought treatment for his depression, he might still be here.
Or, maybe not. May he rest peacefully…he is very much, missed.
if courtney didn't murder him he'd still be here
oh also wanting do divorce her and write her out of his will
If drugs were leagle and people were not stigmitized this wouldnt happen
He did seek counseling and help many times but just ran out after a couple of days.
The medication he talks about was experimental and his doctor was unable to keep prescribing it, likely resulting in the pain coming back full force. It’s painful to see as someone with chronic pain, gut or otherwise. It’s hard to keep going when you’ve felt relief and have had it taken away.
This man was honestly a good man. I don't think it matters what music he made. This man is a calm person and he is just a good guy. His death anniversary just passed. We love and miss you Kurt
Heroin.... And you will be calm and on top of the fucking world, until you come crashing down, repeat.
Addicts are misunderstood, the drugs are a solution, not the problem. They become a problem, but the illness still waits for you.
@zephyra sorry you didn't understand. Do heroin. Then come back and read it. I guess?
@zephyra lol, I know you are trolling, but in all seriousness, for those who don't understand addiction. It's a lack of spirituality. You are broken, and habitual drug use is a symptom of this, while it becomes a massive problem in itself, if you can find a purpose in life, something bigger than you, and you can heal, the drugs will not appeal to you snymore.
Most think that drug addicts are just scared of the withdrawals. Hell no, post acute withdrawal is much worse, it's as if there's an infinite void that you can never fill, even the drugs themselves end up being not enough and that's when things really start to go south.
I don't believe in a God, or rather, the God of the people, and when you go into recovery, God is pushed so hard, and if it does not resonate with you, you will relapse....
Continue trolling, as you will...

There's something about Kurt that saddens me a lot.

Even when he smiles, he looks kinda lost and sad, it just breaks my heart. I hope he's better now, wherever you are Kurt, may you be in peace. ♥

+Molly O'Curnain I am not trying to argue with a fellow fan and we should both feel stupid for trying to decode kurt's songs because we both know they really didn't mean anything just sentences thrown together at the last minute. But where did you ever see or hear that he drank that for stomach pain? In his own journals he said his friends have tried it for abortion and that it didn't work. I have been a fan a long time but I have never heard he drank that himself. Thank you
+Molly O'Curnain And according to him the song was about a very depressed person.
+Molly O'Curnain Yeah I found that weird because unless Kurt had a female anatomy and was pregnant, there really is no reason to drink it. I thought I was going to learn something new today but it's ok. peace.
I grew up seeing clips of this interview as a teenager here and there. I’m 32 now, Kurt still seems older than I am. I can’t imagine handling life as he did it experienced now much less a few years ago. Even Hendrix, Morrison etc they all seem..just ageless but older no matter how much time moves. I suppose that is part of the mythos of them. 14 year old me would have loved to find a full 30 minute Cobain interview inside his head, 32 year old me just wonders how that life must have felt
It’s funny watching Kurt now, being 17 years older than Kurt was when he died, and remembering being 7 years younger than Kurt when he was alive....... it’s like looking at your mum and dads wedding photo as you grow up. For so long as a kid your dad looks old in it, and one day you look and you see how young your dad really was and how much older you are.

I’ve only recently started looking into nirvana (Kurt Cobain) more specifically, and I’m blown away by how raw and kind he was despite success. That always seems to be the way, all these “real” down to earth, talented, yet tortured souls, we lose. Kurt, Robin Williams, Princess Diana, very different but all have that sadness in their eyes if you take the time to notice. Such a loss.
This interview is a huge eye opener. I admire his honesty. He seems as if he had already came to terms with the pain...he seems as if he was still trying to be strong mentally.
I don't care what people think or say about this man in negative. He is and was by far talented and very smart. Just was in pain. To be in so much pain in body and mind to take your life. Now that's a hurt you can't feel or know unless you are there, got there, or were there. A soul that will live on and still is loved. RIP. Hope you are free of pain.

I randomly started thinking about this interview last week and been meaning to look it up. Thanks MTV
Daiyaan Winston Thanks for watching! We read your mind...
***** lol! (=
When MTV was MTV
Daiyaan Winston Reverse Speech from the case. Re: photos
"I was in pain for so long" makes me so sad
This is the first time I’ve seen this interview in years and I am struck by how calming this is. It’s oddly comforting and soothing to listen to. And it makes me cry a little bit too, looking back to that time. As the years pass, I talk to other people my age about how me and my friends skipped school and listened to music the day the news broke about his death. We were in the middle of Texas. And without the internet connecting us at the time, I find more people who did the same thing, grieved in the same ways. It’s kinda cool.
When Kurt was alive, he seemed to be an awesome guy to just hang out with.
He's chill af. his demeanor says it all.
I mean if you like hanging out with heroin addicts in sleazy motels and sleeping under bridges. Legend but I’ll pass on hanging out with him
@@levelofsnipes7378 I mean if you leave out all that stuff, he just seems like a chill guy. Yknow? I know you didn’t say this, but I bet a lot of people are thinking it, but just because you did drugs doesn’t mean you’re a bad person you feel me?
@@levelofsnipes7378 he never slept under a bridge...
@@levelofsnipes7378 he had a rough life and walked down the wrong path my uncle is the same way
His parents weren't their for him. Sensitive people like Kurt need to be loved and supported. I hope parents talk with their kids find out what's in their heads so their bodies don't break down to sadness. He was such a sweetheart where his parents just messed with his mind and heart.
jage yeb right on it.
Sounds weak to me... Shit my parents didnt talk to me about anything. Left me with my grandparents most of the time.i dealt with itm Youre just justifying his weakness. Deal with it.
DecimateGamer91 your what's wrong in this society. People like you fail to see that everyone is different and being sensitive doesn't mean being weak you idiot.
Whatizup no im what needs to happen in this society. Need to grow a pair and deal with life. All these suicidal fuckheads need to just do it already. Survival of the fittest. Natural selection will take care of them
jage you’re exactly right and that’s why when people come to me with the bs Murder conspiracy I just shut them down and try to tell him he was predisposed to suicide and had a horrible childhood , and throw heroin in the mix.. perfect cocktail for his suicide
22:19 “i think we all want to do our *next* record with him” 😔 me too kurt, i wish u guys made that 4th album.
Da hood trampoline
That statement is a reason I don't think he committed suicide. He had so much hope at this point in his life.
@@ballz69 yo Pierre u wanna come out here
they have 4 albums. Bleach, Incesticide, Nevermind and In utero
@@badenryan421 Incesticide is only a compilation of demo records. It was sold as a record but it was not intended to be one.
As someone who has had huge stomach problems and pain since childhood I can so relate to this. Been a Nirvana fan forever. I was in school when I heard about Kurt. He was and will for ever be loved 🖤
Hope you get better 🫶
we all need Kurt Cobain..music will never be the same!
Charlie Luciano nobody "needs" anyone you weak pathetic fuck
Yum yum
I think the hypersensitive Nirvana fan has officially been trolled.
Ur an idiot
The K-dog you called him pathetic for voicing the way he feels , this isn't trolling at all. Its just disrespectful and ignorant . If you got a kick from that you're the one who should be called "pethetic". Your life is that boring that you attempt at trolling and can't get that right either.
Kurt: I’m so ugly
Commenters: He’s very attractive
Kurt: That’s okay cuz so are you
Edit: Thanks for 2.3k Likes, I never expected that
I’m- 😭
We broke our mirrors. 😭
I don't think he exactly considered himself ugly...
He was gorgeous and I can't believe the trash he was with. ( He even wanted to divorce Courtney love ) I always though she had something to do with his death. She never loved him
@@amandareynolds9644 wait i’ve heard things about courtney what was she like what did she do to him ?
I remember watching this interview back when I was 17... I'm 44 years old now... All I can say is thank you for sharing this video. And that Kurt Cobain shall never be forgotten.
I absolutely agree 💯 Kurt will NEVER be forgotten…Living during that time was epic…I’m 42 now!!
Kurt is so smart and interesting he has a way with words Love him, I sure wish he was still here❤❤😢
I'm 17 Watching this, his memory goes onnn
He was so talented, deep and innocent. No such artists anymore, especially in rock industry. We will remember you, always
he was not innocent lol
@@m.al-h9108 There's so many Kurt Cobain idolisers who think he was the perfect human being, most of them end up being 14 year olds and unable to comprehend that most humans have deep flaws, in this case it worked well for him and he exploited it to the maximum, while being perfectly aware of what he was doing, he wasn't innocent, he was cunning.
@@m.al-h9108 I do always think about this, the only reason he has such a legacy is because he took his own life, there's lots of other musicians as talented as him who don't get nearly enough credit. He's a heroin addict who happened to make good music, there's lots of those around.
@@Kurtis11266 all i have to say is wow☹️
How was he innocent🤣
Honestly, I think even if he didn't do drugs he was just like this. He sounds like he was just a quiet guy who only talked when talked to
True. I don't do drugs but I relate a lot to him
Yes who knows that he did that much drugs before the end. In this interview he doesn't have stomach pain any more and he says he'd thought about doing heroine to get rid of the stomach pain. I guess it came back so he did heroine. I don't think he comes across as stoned in this interview at all.
Lisa G I'm guessing you've not been around many ppl on tranquilizers or heroin... he is so slowed down here. He is 100% high. His super slow eye movements, how carefully he takes a sip off his water... it's textbook high on heroin behavior.
dinkyvision i was thinking benzos
Interveiwer: "Smells like teen spirit"
Kurt: " *Cough* "
Timestamp?
@@liamriddell1245 3:30
So?
Aria.Diablo Kurt disliked Smells Like Teen Spirit, he said that there are so many better songs on Nevermind and he didn’t get why Teen Spirit got so big. So I think that’s what he meant by it
@@ackepace I think he meant since it was so big he was tired of having to talk about it and was trying to say can we just skip that one
the part where the interviewer asks him how his stomach is, he just seemed so calm, and that makes me happy. thank you kurt for being the person that calms me down when i’m at my most anxious points :)
he looks like hes on heroin or opiates here
@@variationss bro he wasn’t always high
@@Iris-ok5dc you can tell he’s high on heroin here his voice for one and jus how he looks he looks blasted no hate to the guy tho we all have our problems
@@ie-wl1vy yes haha I understood the sentence wrong somehow 2 months ago, I learned more about the drug and yes he was high on heroin there
As a calm guy this makes me happy
I was recommended this video after studying dialects, Kurt had such a classic WA accent with the kinda gentle take on words and the vocal "creak" or as I prefer, "rust" and I'm selfishly pleased I share the same creaky accent. I just know he's resting good with no pain, creating art and music with no pressure. He deserves it.
When he talked about wanting to commit suicide I got chills
I was horrified and sad at the same time.
Yes it was sad, he was in so much pain phisically & mentally maybe he did feel like that at times. 🍪pocket.
I feel verry sorry for him if that was the reason for his suicide
@@nancygreenberg9532 wtf, Courtney Love killed him
Diana Moore - This is what I think too but I guess we’ll never know the truth will we!!
It is really so sad he’s one of my favorites.

He seems so depressed....until he talked about his baby girl Frances, then his eyes lit up with pride and joy!
He wanted to take himself and her away from the fake rockstar Hollywood shit...
And bless her heart..she is wrapped up in it. He would be broken.
Not depressed, it's called heroin. Because of personal experience, I know that he's just content, not depressed

@@MegKampen wheres ur sources.
Lori Worthey too bad she framed his death as a suicide
Sounds like celiac disease. There's so much that can be done today. He lived in chronic pain, physical and mental. He is missed. RIP
Could be either...could also be dope sick
Crohn’s disease is what I’ve read he had- my teenage son almost got addicted to pain killers after his diagnosis- so much pain. Took years to be diagnosed properly. Everything Kurt says rings true to us. I think he really was in pain physically and mentally.
Lunchlady Kim Hopefully Your Son is doing fine and will have remission, I have the same Disease for about 7 years now and it’s not easy... I hope you two stay safe!
Joxygen thank you! He is in remission! Had a severe reaction to Remicade after a year but Humira has been successful. How are you?
Lunchlady Kim When I Was First Diagnosed It was horrible, I had No appetite, didn’t eat at all any day, lost 100 pounds insanely quick... so scary! My parents had put me on so many different things, methotrexate, Pills of many sorts, and much more that I can’t remember, but finally 4 years ago I was put on Humira, and Honestly, It’s really made me feel SO much better! It really was the best option for me. Thanks for asking, and I hope Your son feels better and all being in remission, I’m glad he’s doing better!
Bless his heart . Too sad to go out at 27.
Seemed like a lovely guy.
Its sad when most everyone dies. At least he didn't die when he was 5, and we never would have been blessed with his great music. That's how u need to think about these things
thehitchrules sweet guy smh
Props to this interviewer for being so patient and not rushing anything. I wish kurt could’ve seen why he was loved not only for his music, but for himself. He’s such an intriguing and talented person and I hope he’s at peace now ❤️
Wow. He's so right about doctors even to this day. Chronic pain eats away at you and all you can do is get by.
protocol..
Some doctors do it right and incorporate therapy, physical therapy, and tests to diagnose off of symptoms. And once they diagnose they have a good lead on what to prescribe that's best suited for their health. The process is structured in a complicated way in America. People can't reach out unless they can afford it. People don't keep track of any other symptoms that leads up to the final straw where you're in the ER begging for help. It's sad that you have to decide if the pain you're in is worth getting help because you have to chose between food/rent/bills or help. And when you show up finally, doctors are going to try to get the pain you're in under control before they can diagnose. It's not entirely doctors fault but the governments fault for not providing a better and more accessible healthcare system for any class.
So true. I live with chronic pain everyday. It is so hard and extremely exhausting. It is so hard to never get a break from it.
Yes, I struggle with chronic pain too and it sucks. The best way of dealing with it mentally is with therapy.
A lot of them make you think here making it up
I wish he would've hade like a podcast his voice is so soothing
he would have laughed and made fun of podcasts, especially social media. He generally hated interviews. This is coming from a 40 something year old who knew all about Kurt and seen Nirvana live.
You actually bit to see nirvana live.. I can't describe how much I wish I could've early I was born 13 years too.late
@@volkssturm9694 ?? just because he didn’t like interviews (there’s something called changing your mind btw) doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have loved to have a podcast of his own to express himself or talk about modern music or smth...We can never know, get over yourself.
Podcast didn't really exist in those days
@@volkssturm9694 lmao so you are one of THEM fans.
He just seems so happy when he talks about his daughter, gosh he was amazing, i miss him so much.
just realized, kurt was a genius, like litterally insanely smart. too smart that his thoughts got in his own way. but kurt is very deep
He's totally right about doctors. Many many are so ignorant, and they just don't care.
Most are paid off by pharma
@@mikehunthurst6953 most are great people and truly care
You guys are the ignorants, you have no idea how much doctors have to go through to save your mf asses
Leo Vares elsewhere yes. Here in the US no. Hospitals in the US are just places looking to empty your pockets as much as they can. They tried charging my mom almost 100k for a surgery when almost all of the charges were for doctors who were just in the room not doing anything
@@latienditachannel it's a well paying job
I don't think today's culture would even know what to make of a guy like this, sitting at a house party, just chilling out. He's so sensitive and calm.

To make things worse. He died on my birthday :-(
Your brain throbs from stomach Pain. It's horrible. I had same stomach bacteria.
16:55 - "I've got a few ideas for the 'Rape Me' video." But Kurt said he'll save it for another time.
There wasn't gonna be another time and that really...saddens me. I'd love to know or even see just... _something._
i like how he's just casually playing with some tinsle
Ewa Cameron-Gawor I wanna be that tinsel.

It's a thing that drugs do to you to distract your mind. Shiny things.
I was wondering who else noticed.
@@devinchehin9108 exactly
One thing I've always admired about Kurt was his honesty.
he lies a couple times in this interview
@cabbageting5044 that he does. Being high on heroin causes your brain to crumble. I think he speaks only what he wants them to know. And I think he also sometimes gives people what they want. But all in all, he was a man that liked to be in a band and play, not be famous. He didn't like having a ton of money because he was always poor and so he felt that money didn't change anything. I like the fact that he always stayed the way he looked from the get go.
What? He lied
Me too. And not easy. It can make you sick to expose serious evil you have to have been hurt from and through it in order to expose and thereby end it
@@lydibug51. Being on heroin was to perform so he could tell how bad it is to be on pills for ADHD and forced to sit in a chair all day and answer to a bell. And be told your sick when you’re just sad.
If only we can exchange Kurt Cobain for the Kardashians. The World would be a better place
Oh yes
If someone told me that all of the Kardashians fell of the face of the earth. I would say thank GAWD! On the other hand I just could not picture Kurt in this day and age, his death at the time was just so unfortunate though.
Yeah he could still make songs until today if he was still alive sadly he felt this world was so cruel.
Wow good one bro, so original
LOOL no offense but both are trash at the end, drugs and porn fits together good :D
Hearing this is giving me chills, its literally like I'm listening to my late brother talk, who also had severe stomach issues since childhood and was constantly on drugs to ease the pain. (Had stomach surgery, spent alot of time in hospitals etc.) And once the prescribed drugs weren't enough for him, he turned to hard opiates and then heroin and eventually passed away. My bro was a HUGE fan of Kurt Cobain and loved/ related to his music. I'm not religious but, I hope they are both, resting in an eternal state of nirvana 🤘
