I've seen others do these kind of videos who just treated the locations as just cool tourist locations and didn't have any respect at all. I love watching these two because you know that's not going to be the case.
I was 17 in 1994…in my full grunge stage. I remember walking into the house and my mom telling me about Kurt being gone. The sadness and anger of my idol being gone, was almost unbearable. 29 years later, I still can’t believe it but, knowing Kurt’s mind better now as opposed to when I was that 17 year old kid, I’ve come to a sort of peace with his passing. What a time. We witnessed the beginning and end of grunge in my opinion. When I see a youngster walking around with a Nirvana shirt on today, I wonder if they really understand what they are wearing or, if it’s just become a fashion statement. I miss Kurt and his music but, I miss how real and sarcastic his personality was probably more. He’d never want anyone to say this but, RIP LEGEND….you changed the world for a time. 🤘
I was also 17 in 1994. But to this day, I don't think my mother has ever heard of grunge! 😂 As for kids wearing Nirvana T-shirts? I think a select few of them probably know and like their music (even if it will never be the same experience for them) but mostly, I suspect a lot of them are wearing them for the same reason they might wear a Jimi Hendrix or Pink Floyd shirt: it looks cool...
@@SpaceCattttt Absolutely looks cool, I agree lol. I don’t think my mom cared too much to be honest but, I do remember her saying “he’s your Jim Morrison” and i replied “not even close” lol
3 yrs before I was born and the thought of it all still had an impact on me throughout my youth and even to today. I get it. And of course im not the only one. Why nirvana is nirvana , and kurt is kurt. Its NOT ok to eat fish ,cause we have TOO MANY feelings..
My dad met Kurt Cobain before he ever became famous in a garage get together in Seattle, my dad's girlfriend at the time introduce them. My dad said the Kurt was a chill dude sitting in the corner writing songs in his note book. RIP Kurt 🙏
I was 13 in 94. I knew of Nirvana’s music but had never learned anything about the musicians I idolized, yet. After learning of Kurt’s death, I began to learn more about my favorite artists. I have been a musician for 30+ years now. It’s sad that it happened that way, but it’s hard to imagine where my life would have gone had this tragedy not touched me as it did.
I was 12 my sister was obsessed with Nirvana, my sister was 19, upsetting day didn't really understand, my husband actually has Mtv unplugged on vinyl ❤
Love you guys. I still remember when Kurt died. I was 13, heavily bullied, and in Kurt I had just finally found someone I could relate to. I felt sick to my stomach that morning. Greetings from The Netherlands.
I went to that memorial and made my way to the center of a crowd where Courtney was sitting in a circle with friends. She looked tired and very nasal congested from crying as she spoke. I could've easily touched her from where I stood but everybody was very respectful, standing silently as they listened to her.
Courtney is such a fake woman who's not even a good musician, wife and mother. She had him murdered. To this day she still plays the pity party . Terrible woman.

I've never clicked on a video so fast ever. This has been covered a thousand times. But your twist on things always is fantastic and a different perspective than the usual vids other people do.
In 1994, I was 12 years old and I wasn't a fan. Two years later, I was crazy about Kurt Cobain and listened to Nirvana every day. After a few years, my musical direction went into heavy and dark climates, but Nirvane is still very much appreciated and I like it.
I was watching MTV when Kurt Loder came on and announced Cobain's death. I remember feeling gutted but not really surprised. Almost like I'd always expected this to happen. I was 30 at the time, so Kurt was definitely part of my generation and felt his songs and lyrics really spoke to me. Even today I still feel a lot of sadness and even anger at him for leaving us so soon.
I sadly wasn't that shocked given the previous news what, a few months before, or so, of Kurt's near OD and near death in Europe? I think it was. At that point, it wasn't sounding good to me.
@@edenuccio3690 Schroeder? Not Ricky? LOL I think you mean Kurt Loder. Or as Jack Rabid of Big Takeover mag. once called him "Kurt Shoot My Loder" LOlZ.
I was 32 and at work. The TVs were on for the patients. I remember stopping, hearing the news and got teary. Kurt reached out to all people. Just an amazing person.
I was 20 in '94, had just flown into NYC from the UK, huge Nirvana fan, saw them live at Reading in' 92 or '93. Couple of days after we arrived in the US his death was announced. Two weeks later we were in Seattle and standing in that very park, back then there was no gate and you could see Kurt's grey Volvo parked on the drive. Peeped over that fence at the back and could see into the loft where he killed himself. A dark, but, special memory and pilgrimage to someone who's music I still love.
I was 14 when he died, it stands as one of the most significant famous deaths that I was aware of as a teen, and although I wasn't a massive fan, I was very aware of Nirvanas music , having a younger sibling who listened to them , and bought the albums of both Nirvana and Hole Plus the fact that both artists and their bands were and still are hugely popular here in Australia
The crazy part of the story to me is Kurt sat next to Duff from GNR on the plane back to Seattle right before he killed himself. Him and Duff talk the plane ride back when they landed Kurt and Duff's friend went outside to have a smoke. When Duffs friend got back inside after the smoke Duff said to him Kurt seemed pretty down and that they should invite him to hang out at Duffs place. Right at that moment Kurt's taxi came and picked him up and he was gone. I always if there was a chance Kurt would have changed course if his car never came that fast.
Also, that video of Courtney was her at the park next to their house, not at the Seattle center. She actually gave some of those Fans a few of his articles of clothing. If you’re still there, go to the ok hotel. Nirvana played a small Halloween show there in 93. 🖤
@@PaperworkExplosions172 It was a sarcastic wedding vow note. They were always busting each other's balls. Stop reading into shit so much. Bunch of weirdos.
I've been watching Nirvana for the last two days on youtube and was watching their show from Hollywood when this notification came up. Perfect timing and great video!
Thanks for covering Kurt. I have gained a fascination with his story that blossomed well after his time in history. At 16, I didn’t know anything about him but the world sure took it hard. Now it all makes sense. Love your work and story telling!
I was 16, getting ready for a date. My mom came into my room and told me. I felt numb, it was the first death of a celebrity I followed. When I moved to Seattle the very next day I went to find his house. ❤
I was 7 years old when Kurt died, so I didn't discover Nirvana until many years later, but his death still remains one of the saddest of all time. I'm glad that we are now becoming more understanding so that people are able to talk about their mental health and not be afraid to ask for help when it is needed because nobody should have to go through anything alone.
I was 25 when Kurt took his own life & a massive fan of the grunge scene, still am...Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden. What a terrible loss his death was & still is to all his fans & his loved ones. How tragic that out of all those epic bands the only frontman that is still with us is Eddie Vedder...so sad 😔
I was a senior in high school and used to blast Nirvana driving my Grandpas truck around delivering pizzas in Shelley Idaho and heard about Kurts death on the radio and it was so hard he was the voice of my generation and provided so much energy in my life and still does. I wish he was still here to be a father and grandpa and able to enjoy life and enjoy the love from his fans. RIP Kurt
I'm glad you did the research to find all the different views of the house. Somewhere on UA-cam is original 1994 camcorder video looking down on the room with Kurts body in view. Grim, but such is life.
My former coworker was the medical examiner in Seattle at the time of Kurt's passing but was traveling at the time so he wasn't able to perform his autopsy. Instead it was done by Dr. Nikolas Harstome.
there were more medical examiners working in Seattle other than your former coworker. They were hired because the chief was five years away from retirement and he was training the younger m.e., supervising and approving their findings. It's known that Hartshorne performed Mia Zapata's in July, 1993. Cobain's was in April 1994. Everything he did was approved by the chief.
I remember where I was when I heard Kurt had died. I love his music more than any other band/artist, both before he died and after. I never considered him a “voice” for me but I felt connected to his songs. Like him I felt/feel unwanted by my dad. I’m the youngest of 3 kids, my brother was the smart one, my sister was the pretty one and I was the weird, ugly one. I’ve battled with depression since my first suicide attempt when I was 11. Hearing this incredible (and good looking) artist say he felt ugly and stupid made me feel less like a freak and that might not be as pointless as I usually felt. I’ve been on anti-depressants for decades and am doing better. I still fight depression (more so lately) but am not suicidal. Kurt probably never knew how deeply his death would affect his family, friends and fans. I’m just a regular person, but I know my family loves me and this gives me hope. I look for joy and beauty in the little things which also helps. At times I can’t list to Nirvana because he killed himself. But in the good times I still love his music. Sorry for the long post. By the way Michael you made me burst out laughing when you mentioned the nude beach. You may want to consider doing a piece on Layne Staley from Alice In Chains, he is another great artist gone too soon.
Great video and thoughtful tribute, as always. I'm also from St. Louis, Missouri and was 19 when I heard the news and will never forget it. And similarly, Washington seemed--and still even as an adult seems--so far away and unreachable.
One of my favorite videos of yours, I’m obsessed with nirvana and their history and have always wanted to visit these places thank you for taking me on a tour!!
An incredibly sad story for Mr. Cobain... When anybody chooses to end ones' life, we all wonder why, and what we can do to change the mind set----- I applaud the great work that mental health care workers do daily for many of us (me included), who have hard issues..... Keep on trucking ALL you people... even the ones who are not health care workers. Thanks, GriMMs for this episode.....
My first video I saw of ya was his Hollywood house tour and ever since then this has been my all time favorite channel. Great to see another Cobain vid!
I was two months from graduating high school when Kurt died. It hit our senior class pretty hard. In fact, it was early enough that there was a little memorial for him in our yearbook. I'm not a huge fan of Nirvana, but it was definitely a big part of my high school years. Nirvana and his suicide were something that defined my generation.
My mom was a huge fan of Cobain and when we went to Seattle we stayed at a motel (The Marco Polo Motel Room 226) that Kurt would frequent when he was getting high on heroin. The room had windows looking down both streets and supposedly he would stare out those windows for hours. Crazy.
I’m in England and been watching your videos for a while now. Love how you tell the story, different to anyone else who does similar stuff. Keep them coming 🤘
I was only 2 when Kurt died, but went through a full grunge phase in high school. Forever thankful to my high school guitar teacher, for lending me a book called Come As You Are. A lot of different music got me through the worst of high school, and Kurt, along with Nirvana, was one of the most important bands in my life. They still are. Thank-you for showing us this, as I don't think I'll ever be able to travel to Seattle to see it all for myself. ❤
Good morning to you and Jessica my wonderful best friends! Another great video yet again! I’m so glad Kurt Cobain’s memory lives on! Another amazing video yet again! ❤👻🎃
I was at the Seattle center that day, too. I lived a couple of blocks away. You know, a lot of Kurt’s friends chose to be at that one, with the fans because it seemed so fitting. What a somber day. I walked from my apt on the corner of first and Denny ❤️🩹❤️🩹
Wow, awesome video!! It was cool seeing the benches and view of house. Kurt Cobain’s death brings to mind for me the duality of a person being so creative, and empathetic, yet also experiencing deep sadness and self doubt. RIP!!😢🎸🌹🎃🙏🏽
While watching your recent videos on Stand By Me and Ted Bundy I wondered if you had done one for Kurt. This channel is really special. Thank you. I’m a resident in Washington and remember the day Kurt died. You could make a series on just him.
Kurt's band blew up so fast, that fame he got a taste of was an illusion he could do without...him being an 'anti-establishment, underground' artist. His addiction served to deliver him from his pain and suffering, may his spirit and soul rest in peace. He is now bigger in death than he was in life.
I only started really listening to nirvana maybe 2 years ago now but Nirvana captured lighting in a bottle and I was attracted to it. Thank you kurt for the music, thank you dave, thank you krist and thank you pat. You have all gotten me through tough times
This one got me.. the photos of the actual day they found him.. I’ve always been a nirvana/Kurt Cobain fan.. and I’ve seen documentaries a thousand times.. something about this made tears just pour. I’m in recovery from heroin myself, and just the realness of this.. no going on with conspiracy theories and no fluff. Just you guys telling the facts as we know them. It hit me hard. Thank you guys for that. Made me connect with one of my favorite musicians in a new way.
I just Wish Kurt kicked his Habit. Courtney sobered up because Child Services were going to take Frances AWAY from the both of them. But Cobain didn't want to quit Heroin. He SHOULDA, for Frances sake.
In 1994 I was 14 years old and still grieving the deaths of 3 loved ones by suicide the preceding years. I was so upset by his death but couldn't cry. My heart hardened for years after that; struggling to let people get too close for fear of losing them. Our pain is temporary, our lives have more meaning than we sometimes know. If you are struggling, talk to someone. Don't believe what your mind is telling you. Take one day at a time. You are worthy and you are loved.
When I lived in Federal Way from August 1997-June 2000, I begin to experience and see the Devastating Epidemic of Suicide in King County,WA. It just Surreal how ORDINARY it seemed up there. Our Home Church's Pastors Son had Committed Suicide in 1993, and it was STILL Difficult even in 1998 for Members to discuss it, since the kid was only 14 years old. I remember watching a KOMO 4 News Report on Teen Depression in '98 and it talked about a 13 year old Kid living in Burien who had been bullied and teased for having "Boy Tits". He was so overwhelmed, that he took his Father's Belt and Hung himself. The Article showed the SAME Bullies at his Wake with blank Expressions and Absolute REMORSE, and when his Mother went up to his Coffin and broke down, one of his Bullies ran up to her Weeping "I'm So Sorry! I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry". To the Conspiracy "Kurt was Murdered" Tom Grant Disciples: STOP Disrespecting and Making light of Suicide in Seattle. Its NOT funny.
Dude I was in middle school as well when this happened. I was in shock that he did this to himself. He did not understand how much the fans had love for him and his music which was the best thing to listen to during those days. If he was still alive still making music he would be so big bigger than he ever was.
It was not a nude beach when Kurt lived there. It’s not officially one now. What you saw were polar bearers. They have done that since the 80s during cold weather l. I went to that park often. As did Kurt. 🖤 I also went to that memorial. Nice video. I miss Seattle in the 90s 🖤
I was 26 that year. And I also was the one that introduced Nirvana to my friends. Will always remember the guys faces when they looked at the album cover and thought I was crazy... but... then they listened and loved it too. Thanks for a great and respectful video. Happy Halloween 🤟
This just goes to show that you really never can know what someone is going through..and that money, fame, and even looks can't make you happy. Very sad situation.
This video is amazing. You did such a great job covering this. Thank you so much for making this video. I remember running into you at monsterpalooza & you told me you had a Kurt Cobain video on the way. I’ve watched this multiple times!Bravo Grimm 🙏🏻
Still makes me sad, I remember exactly where I was when I heard about Kurt, right away I thought about Dave and Kris, I often think of what it would be like if he was still alive,the music that would’ve been made, just for him to exist.
I remember standing in my grandparents kitchen and my grandfather was watching CNN. It started showing a picture of those two wood and glass doors and saying Kurt had been found dead. It's something I will never forget. 😢
What an absolutely beautiful piece of property that is! So serene. The fountain dome in the footage looks substantially bigger than the dome that is there now.
I was 19 in 1994 I was home and my best friend call me and tell me what’s happend to Kurt 😢 I was so sad and angry … I miss him and Kurt’s music never die 🙌 Thanks guys for This video ❤
Again, so so so many people do videos on this. You always give such a well painted picture 🎨 🖌 forever a subscriber, been here 3 years, and have learned alot, even things iv had no idea of. Goodnight 💯👍
I was 13 when Kurt died. I was watching Nirvana perform Heart Shaped Box live. After it ended, John Norris on MTV News came on and said that Kurt was dead. That was the first time I ever cried over the death of a musician. It was a real shocking and sad day for me on April 8th 1994. I also wanted to say that I love your work. Graffiti Highway is one of my favorite ones. I used to live about 45 minutes from there and had visited many times before it was buried. I had seen another video of Kurt's bench. At the time it was filmed written on the second bench was Layne Staley's bench. Staley is still visible. Layne was written over. I wasn't sure if you had noticed it. I enjoyed your trip to visit Kurt's house and bench.
I was a kid when my mom showed me nirvana I was hooked from smells like teen spirit and they have always been a huge HUGE inspiration for me especially Kurt I even till this day I hate that he's gone RIP Kurt
Three weeks ago i was watching documentary movie about entire life of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain , he really had hard life since his days as a teenager , during the movie one line by Kurt himself made me like him much more , he said this- i don't need to become a millionaire or become famous , all i care is music ❤💔Kurt will always be missed 💔💔💔
I also found out about Kurt's death via Kurt Loder on MTV. I was devastated. At that point, that was my first major celebrity death. It's funny how life is because I barely even blink when someone dies now but back then, it was soul crushing.
Thanks for another thoughtful video. I was 18 and really busy with college when it happened, but I liked Nirvana's music and was keenly aware that Kurt left too soon. Hole's "Malibu" sums it up for me.
I’m old enough to have endured hair metal in college (hated it then, sort of nostalgic now… not really), but Nirvana was the beginning of a renaissance of solid alternative rock music in the early ‘90s. From Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, STP, NIN, etc., they were among my favorites. After Kurt died, that music went with him. Crazy how more rockers from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s have outlived more of the ‘90s grunge singers.
yes, I hated 80s music so badly that I didnt listen to any of it at all and was into the beatles and had accepted that good music was over, even rem seemed lame to me, so even tho Id heard of nirvana i hadnt paid attention and i remember thinking oh theyre prolly like rem...it was only right before he died that i began to "get" it, that the change in music id dreamed of, had happened, but then he was gone. I felt cursed. I realize now AIC had been putting out amazing music even before Nir but somehow I also didnt "get" them until it was too late for Layne.
For what? Kurt killed himself due to depression not because anyone forced him to. People who keep spreading this Courtney Love killed him BS are just being disrespectful & causing his loved ones (including his kid) more pain. Quit it.
@@ZiddersRooFurry That's Right. TRUE Seattle Nirvana fans know it. And I know it. Cobain took his own Life. He was a Paranoid,Confused,Depressed,Suicidal Junkie.
@@ZiddersRooFurry yawn, utterly deluded. Clearly never bothered to research this case and have just lapped up Courtney’s media BS. What’s an insult to Kurt is the manipulated bull you’re peddling. Kurt was moving forward with his life and that included divorcing his toxic wife.
I was 14, just got home from school. Turned on MTV, bout to eat a snack, and they announced it. I was heavy hearted, teared up. Because so many of there songs healed me through some tuff times. He's one of my favorite musicians. R.I.P Kurt... Awsome vid, thanks, Grimm
Thank you for sharing regarding , Kurt Cobain & Nirvana. So sad on how he died . Suicide is not the way out in life when having depression. There is always help , I have bi-polar anxiety depression and am taking different depression pills . It helps me to live life day by day. Thank you for sharing story grimmlifecollective, enjoy your stay in Seattle.😎👍🙏

great filming Micheal you and Jessica rock i enjoy your documentaries i sure miss seattle tho that nude beach is howell park its crazy run LOL keep up these videos my friend love them all
I live in Tacoma and it's cool to see you do videos in my neck of the woods. I first heard of Kurt's death on my car radio listening to Seattle's KISW. I was sad that I could not make it to the tribute for him at Seattle Center.
I don’t want to go full conspiracy theory, but there sure are some strange circumstances surrounding Kurt’s death. I truly hope his soul is at peace. And if there’s more to his death than what was reported, I hope the truth will come out. I thank my best friend at the time (I was 10) for introducing me to grunge around 4th-5th grade. ♥️
No. He did it. I wanted to think that wasn’t the case for years, for my own reasons. But, in the end, he was a young, overwhelmed, ad dict who made a permanent decision in a moment of darkness. It’s no less heartbreaking. And it does a disservice to people who need help when feeling this way to make it anything else.
I have no ties to Kurt, I just know of him through retellings of his death. I just always enjoy your content so watch regardless of familiarity or lack thereof on the subject. "Be careful where you park, there's a nude beach....we saw things" Laughed hard at that
You guys do these tragic sites with such class and respect. In a weird way, I actually find a sense of calm watching you. Thank you!
Ryan Enquist,
Thank You for identifying the feeling I got whilst watching this particular Grimm offering.
So much respect and love. I don’t often watch stuff about Kurt but, I knew this one would be lovely ❤️🩹❤️🩹
I agree. I also respect how they don't cuss and watch their language just in case kids are watching

@@PaperworkExplosions172 It was a sarcastic wedding vow note. They were always busting each other's balls. Stop reading into shit so much. Bunch of weirdos.
Thank you to the both of you for what you do, it’s appreciated! Another great video from the Grimmlife! RIP Kurt
I was 17 & a senior in high school. It still hurts at times when I listen to Nirvana.
Love this bin a fan of Nirvana for years.Thanx for doing the video I live in the UK and hope to visit Seattle someday.Great job.❤
I've been watching Nirvana for the last two days on youtube and was watching their show from Hollywood when this notification came up. Perfect timing and great video!
Thank you grimmlifecollective! I visited the Viretta Park location in May '24, and your video was helpful in orienting myself around the area.
Thanks for covering Kurt. I have gained a fascination with his story that blossomed well after his time in history. At 16, I didn’t know anything about him but the world sure took it hard. Now it all makes sense.
Love your work and story telling!
I was 16, getting ready for a date. My mom came into my room and told me. I felt numb, it was the first death of a celebrity I followed. When I moved to Seattle the very next day I went to find his house. ❤
I was 7 years old when Kurt died, so I didn't discover Nirvana until many years later, but his death still remains one of the saddest of all time. I'm glad that we are now becoming more understanding so that people are able to talk about their mental health and not be afraid to ask for help when it is needed because nobody should have to go through anything alone.
That's true but he was murdered
I was 25 when Kurt took his own life & a massive fan of the grunge scene, still am...Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden. What a terrible loss his death was & still is to all his fans & his loved ones. How tragic that out of all those epic bands the only frontman that is still with us is Eddie Vedder...so sad 😔
Dang your old
don’t forget billy corgan
I was a senior in high school and used to blast Nirvana driving my Grandpas truck around delivering pizzas in Shelley Idaho and heard about Kurts death on the radio and it was so hard he was the voice of my generation and provided so much energy in my life and still does. I wish he was still here to be a father and grandpa and able to enjoy life and enjoy the love from his fans. RIP Kurt
I'm glad you did the research to find all the different views of the house. Somewhere on UA-cam is original 1994 camcorder video looking down on the room with Kurts body in view. Grim, but such is life.
I love your channel so much. It was a nice surprise to scroll through your videos and see that you came to my hometown!
Thank you 😀 you are a great documentary narrator or host if you will.
Keep up the awesome work 😀😀😀
My former coworker was the medical examiner in Seattle at the time of Kurt's passing but was traveling at the time so he wasn't able to perform his autopsy. Instead it was done by Dr. Nikolas Harstome.
Hey that’s interesting was there anywhere I could reach out with a few questions please?? If you don’t mind??
there were more medical examiners working in Seattle other than your former coworker. They were hired because the chief was five years away from retirement and he was training the younger m.e., supervising and approving their findings. It's known that Hartshorne performed Mia Zapata's in July, 1993. Cobain's was in April 1994. Everything he did was approved by the chief.
@@julesvanRIP MIA. She was a gem. Served me my first drink when I moved to Seattle. 🖤
@@maudelynn13 Mia was a Beautiful woman and spirit and its Heartbreaking that she was murdered by Violent Cuban Immigrant.
I remember where I was when I heard Kurt had died. I love his music more than any other band/artist, both before he died and after. I never considered him a “voice” for me but I felt connected to his songs. Like him I felt/feel unwanted by my dad. I’m the youngest of 3 kids, my brother was the smart one, my sister was the pretty one and I was the weird, ugly one.
I’ve battled with depression since my first suicide attempt when I was 11. Hearing this incredible (and good looking) artist say he felt ugly and stupid made me feel less like a freak and that might not be as pointless as I usually felt.
I’ve been on anti-depressants for decades and am doing better. I still fight depression (more so lately) but am not suicidal. Kurt probably never knew how deeply his death would affect his family, friends and fans. I’m just a regular person, but I know my family loves me and this gives me hope. I look for joy and beauty in the little things which also helps.
At times I can’t list to Nirvana because he killed himself. But in the good times I still love his music.
Sorry for the long post. By the way Michael you made me burst out laughing when you mentioned the nude beach.
You may want to consider doing a piece on Layne Staley from Alice In Chains, he is another great artist gone too soon.
Great video and thoughtful tribute, as always. I'm also from St. Louis, Missouri and was 19 when I heard the news and will never forget it. And similarly, Washington seemed--and still even as an adult seems--so far away and unreachable.
One of my favorite videos of yours, I’m obsessed with nirvana and their history and have always wanted to visit these places thank you for taking me on a tour!!
Seeing Courtney talking about Kurt is some heavy stuff. Thanks for sharing.
An incredibly sad story for Mr. Cobain... When anybody chooses to end ones' life, we all wonder why, and what we can do to change the mind set----- I applaud the great work that mental health care workers do daily for many of us (me included), who have hard issues..... Keep on trucking ALL you people... even the ones who are not health care workers. Thanks, GriMMs for this episode.....
If I wanted to "kill myself" too I'd just marry Courtney Love.
He never ended his own life. His wife had him killed
Courtney killed him
@@DAKOTAasmr nope. your hero was a depressed addict who took his own life
@@MikeFergus nope
My first video I saw of ya was his Hollywood house tour and ever since then this has been my all time favorite channel. Great to see another Cobain vid!
Good video, I remember this. I’ve seen several of your videos this one brings some memories back for me
I was two months from graduating high school when Kurt died. It hit our senior class pretty hard. In fact, it was early enough that there was a little memorial for him in our yearbook. I'm not a huge fan of Nirvana, but it was definitely a big part of my high school years. Nirvana and his suicide were something that defined my generation.
My mom was a huge fan of Cobain and when we went to Seattle we stayed at a motel (The Marco Polo Motel Room 226) that Kurt would frequent when he was getting high on heroin. The room had windows looking down both streets and supposedly he would stare out those windows for hours. Crazy.
Cobain had problems with drugs as well
cool, I saw a vid of that room and hotel.
I’m in England and been watching your videos for a while now. Love how you tell the story, different to anyone else who does similar stuff. Keep them coming 🤘
Good morning, this is a great video. Thank you Michael and Jessica for sharing this video.☺️🎃❤️💕
I was only 2 when Kurt died, but went through a full grunge phase in high school. Forever thankful to my high school guitar teacher, for lending me a book called Come As You Are. A lot of different music got me through the worst of high school, and Kurt, along with Nirvana, was one of the most important bands in my life. They still are.
Thank-you for showing us this, as I don't think I'll ever be able to travel to Seattle to see it all for myself. ❤
Good morning to you and Jessica my wonderful best friends! Another great video yet again! I’m so glad Kurt Cobain’s memory lives on! Another amazing video yet again! ❤👻🎃
Such a great video. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video from the fountain before.
Great stuff!Was there at the fountain that day it was such a strange energy there but good to be around all the fans.
I was at the Seattle center that day, too. I lived a couple of blocks away. You know, a lot of Kurt’s friends chose to be at that one, with the fans because it seemed so fitting. What a somber day. I walked from my apt on the corner of first and Denny ❤️🩹❤️🩹
I was only 4 when Kurt died, so I have no memory of his passing or the coverage. I discovered Nirvana 9 years later and became obsessed.
Wow, awesome video!! It was cool seeing the benches and view of house. Kurt Cobain’s death brings to mind for me the duality of a person being so creative, and empathetic, yet also experiencing deep sadness and self doubt. RIP!!😢🎸🌹🎃🙏🏽
I just found this channel. It's super cool. I probably will be binge watching your video's.
Great video and Love Nirvana. Odd UA-cam has a warning before it but thank you for posting about it or I may have missed this.
While watching your recent videos on Stand By Me and Ted Bundy I wondered if you had done one for Kurt. This channel is really special. Thank you. I’m a resident in Washington and remember the day Kurt died. You could make a series on just him.
Kurt's band blew up so fast, that fame he got a taste of was an illusion he could do without...him being an 'anti-establishment, underground' artist. His addiction served to deliver him from his pain and suffering, may his spirit and soul rest in peace.
He is now bigger in death than he was in life.
glad you guys did this video i grew up in the 90s and this hits close to heart.
Great video! The benches are a nice memorial. The Grimms Rock!
I only started really listening to nirvana maybe 2 years ago now but Nirvana captured lighting in a bottle and I was attracted to it. Thank you kurt for the music, thank you dave, thank you krist and thank you pat. You have all gotten me through tough times
This is exactly what I needed on this Sunday a little coffee, The Grimms and Cobain.
Great video I just saw you two on Adam the woo you guys looked great 👍🏽 👌🏽
Thanks for Sharing!! 🖤🖤I remember hearing this on the radio so sad.
This one got me.. the photos of the actual day they found him.. I’ve always been a nirvana/Kurt Cobain fan.. and I’ve seen documentaries a thousand times.. something about this made tears just pour. I’m in recovery from heroin myself, and just the realness of this.. no going on with conspiracy theories and no fluff. Just you guys telling the facts as we know them. It hit me hard. Thank you guys for that. Made me connect with one of my favorite musicians in a new way.
I just Wish Kurt kicked his Habit. Courtney sobered up because Child Services were going to take Frances AWAY from the both of them. But Cobain didn't want to quit Heroin. He SHOULDA, for Frances sake.
In 1994 I was 14 years old and still grieving the deaths of 3 loved ones by suicide the preceding years. I was so upset by his death but couldn't cry. My heart hardened for years after that; struggling to let people get too close for fear of losing them.
Our pain is temporary, our lives have more meaning than we sometimes know. If you are struggling, talk to someone. Don't believe what your mind is telling you. Take one day at a time. You are worthy and you are loved.
When I lived in Federal Way from August 1997-June 2000, I begin to experience and see the Devastating Epidemic of Suicide in King County,WA. It just Surreal how ORDINARY it seemed up there. Our Home Church's Pastors Son had Committed Suicide in 1993, and it was STILL Difficult even in 1998 for Members to discuss it, since the kid was only 14 years old. I remember watching a KOMO 4 News Report on Teen Depression in '98 and it talked about a 13 year old Kid living in Burien who had been bullied and teased for having "Boy Tits". He was so overwhelmed, that he took his Father's Belt and Hung himself. The Article showed the SAME Bullies at his Wake with blank Expressions and Absolute REMORSE, and when his Mother went up to his Coffin and broke down, one of his Bullies ran up to her Weeping "I'm So Sorry! I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry".
To the Conspiracy "Kurt was Murdered" Tom Grant Disciples: STOP Disrespecting and Making light of Suicide in Seattle. Its NOT funny.
a great vlog micheal and jessica and thanks for bringing us all along happy halloween to u both
🙏 thank you for the free content Jessica and Mike
Dude I was in middle school as well when this happened. I was in shock that he did this to himself. He did not understand how much the fans had love for him and his music which was the best thing to listen to during those days. If he was still alive still making music he would be so big bigger than he ever was.
It was not a nude beach when Kurt lived there. It’s not officially one now. What you saw were polar bearers. They have done that since the 80s during cold weather l. I went to that park often. As did Kurt. 🖤 I also went to that memorial. Nice video. I miss Seattle in the 90s 🖤
You two do amazing bringing us these stories. Thank you so much Michael and Jessica for everything you do. As always Happy Halloween!
Nice video man! Gotta do a Layne Staley one when in Seattle
I was 26 that year. And I also was the one that introduced Nirvana to my friends. Will always remember the guys faces when they looked at the album cover and thought I was crazy... but... then they listened and loved it too.
Thanks for a great and respectful video.
Happy Halloween 🤟
😊😊😊😊😊😊
This just goes to show that you really never can know what someone is going through..and that money, fame, and even looks can't make you happy. Very sad situation.
This video is amazing. You did such a great job covering this. Thank you so much for making this video. I remember running into you at monsterpalooza & you told me you had a Kurt Cobain video on the way. I’ve watched this multiple times!Bravo Grimm 🙏🏻
No way!!! You always bring me up so high!! Thank you for that 🖤💀✌️
Still makes me sad, I remember exactly where I was when I heard about Kurt, right away I thought about Dave and Kris, I often think of what it would be like if he was still alive,the music that would’ve been made, just for him to exist.
I remember standing in my grandparents kitchen and my grandfather was watching CNN. It started showing a picture of those two wood and glass doors and saying Kurt had been found dead. It's something I will never forget. 😢
What an absolutely beautiful piece of property that is! So serene. The fountain dome in the footage looks substantially bigger than the dome that is there now.
Greetings from Greensburg, Pa...love your stuff. Also cool knowing you're kinda a hometown dude.
I was 19 in 1994 I was home and my best friend call me and tell me what’s happend to Kurt 😢
I was so sad and angry … I miss him and Kurt’s music never die 🙌
Thanks guys for This video ❤
Hey Michael hope You guys visit Bruce and Brandon lee grave whilst in seattle
Very nice video and I very much appreciate you all respecting people privacy. Hi Jessica!!!
Again, so so so many people do videos on this. You always give such a well painted picture 🎨 🖌 forever a subscriber, been here 3 years, and have learned alot, even things iv had no idea of. Goodnight 💯👍
I was 13 when Kurt died. I was watching Nirvana perform Heart Shaped Box live. After it ended, John Norris on MTV News came on and said that Kurt was dead. That was the first time I ever cried over the death of a musician. It was a real shocking and sad day for me on April 8th 1994. I also wanted to say that I love your work. Graffiti Highway is one of my favorite ones. I used to live about 45 minutes from there and had visited many times before it was buried. I had seen another video of Kurt's bench. At the time it was filmed written on the second bench was Layne Staley's bench. Staley is still visible. Layne was written over. I wasn't sure if you had noticed it. I enjoyed your trip to visit Kurt's house and bench.
I was a kid when my mom showed me nirvana I was hooked from smells like teen spirit and they have always been a huge HUGE inspiration for me especially Kurt I even till this day I hate that he's gone RIP Kurt
This was a amazing video appreciate your efforts Mike & Jessica Luv&Peace friend's Cheers to continued success! 🍻💛✌🏼
Love you guys. Thanks for so many great videos
Three weeks ago i was watching documentary movie about entire life of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain , he really had hard life since his days as a teenager , during the movie one line by Kurt himself made me like him much more , he said this- i don't need to become a millionaire or become famous , all i care is music ❤💔Kurt will always be missed 💔💔💔
I also found out about Kurt's death via Kurt Loder on MTV. I was devastated. At that point, that was my first major celebrity death. It's funny how life is because I barely even blink when someone dies now but back then, it was soul crushing.
Love this!!!! And always look forward to another Grimm Adventure!!!!
Thanks for another thoughtful video. I was 18 and really busy with college when it happened, but I liked Nirvana's music and was keenly aware that Kurt left too soon. Hole's "Malibu" sums it up for me.
I’m old enough to have endured hair metal in college (hated it then, sort of nostalgic now… not really), but Nirvana was the beginning of a renaissance of solid alternative rock music in the early ‘90s. From Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, STP, NIN, etc., they were among my favorites. After Kurt died, that music went with him. Crazy how more rockers from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s have outlived more of the ‘90s grunge singers.
yes, I hated 80s music so badly that I didnt listen to any of it at all and was into the beatles and had accepted that good music was over, even rem seemed lame to me, so even tho Id heard of nirvana i hadnt paid attention and i remember thinking oh theyre prolly like rem...it was only right before he died that i began to "get" it, that the change in music id dreamed of, had happened, but then he was gone. I felt cursed. I realize now AIC had been putting out amazing music even before Nir but somehow I also didnt "get" them until it was too late for Layne.
Approaching 30 years and still awaiting justice.
For what? Kurt killed himself due to depression not because anyone forced him to. People who keep spreading this Courtney Love killed him BS are just being disrespectful & causing his loved ones (including his kid) more pain. Quit it.
@@ZiddersRooFurry That's Right. TRUE Seattle Nirvana fans know it. And I know it. Cobain took his own Life. He was a Paranoid,Confused,Depressed,Suicidal Junkie.
@@ZiddersRooFurry yawn, utterly deluded. Clearly never bothered to research this case and have just lapped up Courtney’s media BS. What’s an insult to Kurt is the manipulated bull you’re peddling. Kurt was moving forward with his life and that included divorcing his toxic wife.
Excellent ❤ the 2 of you are fantastic
Extremely interesting, learned a few things I was not aware of , stay safe out there 🤗
Thankyou for taking me down memory lane- I came from Australia in 2013 and saw that gate and bench- the bench has decayed so much.
I was 14, just got home from school. Turned on MTV, bout to eat a snack, and they announced it. I was heavy hearted, teared up. Because so many of there songs healed me through some tuff times. He's one of my favorite musicians. R.I.P Kurt...
Awsome vid, thanks, Grimm
Thank you for sharing regarding , Kurt Cobain & Nirvana. So sad on how he died . Suicide is not the way out in life when having depression. There is always help , I have bi-polar anxiety depression and am taking different depression pills . It helps me to live life day by day. Thank you for sharing story grimmlifecollective, enjoy your stay in Seattle.😎👍🙏
He did not commit suicide…
@@ninarosebarber he committed suicide by gunshot wound to head.
@@ninarosebarber yes he did
@@chestrockwell6807 you can reply with the same ignorant replies and I’ll state time and time again, no he did not.
@@ramiroquezada664 you’d have the desire to commit a violent act upon yourself whilst in the throes of an opiate would you? Good luck operating a poor choice of weapon with a large amount of smack in your system.
great filming Micheal you and Jessica rock i enjoy your documentaries i sure miss seattle tho that nude beach is howell park its crazy run LOL keep up these videos my friend love them all
Thanks for the video! I love all your videos!🤟
One of the saddest deaths of all time by a celebrity.
Kurt Cobain. .A total musical legend!
Great video guys..
I admire the respect you show too..
Another great video! Respectfully done of course
I live in Tacoma and it's cool to see you do videos in my neck of the woods. I first heard of Kurt's death on my car radio listening to Seattle's KISW. I was sad that I could not make it to the tribute for him at Seattle Center.
I don’t want to go full conspiracy theory, but there sure are some strange circumstances surrounding Kurt’s death. I truly hope his soul is at peace. And if there’s more to his death than what was reported, I hope the truth will come out.
I thank my best friend at the time (I was 10) for introducing me to grunge around 4th-5th grade. ♥️
no, it happened just like the official report says, please dont waste your and other's lives falling for nonsense.
Get over it.
No. He did it. I wanted to think that wasn’t the case for years, for my own reasons. But, in the end, he was a young, overwhelmed, ad dict who made a permanent decision in a moment of darkness. It’s no less heartbreaking. And it does a disservice to people who need help when feeling this way to make it anything else.
@joejones9520 Yes, always trust your government, Right?
She did it...
I have no ties to Kurt, I just know of him through retellings of his death. I just always enjoy your content so watch regardless of familiarity or lack thereof on the subject.
"Be careful where you park, there's a nude beach....we saw things" Laughed hard at that
As always amazing work
Great video!
