One of the hardest things I ever had to hear was a suicidal person saying the pressure of staying alive to avoid hurting others was the heaviest burden they carried.
I like how you explained the complexities of Kurt Cobain instead of trying glamorize him. It’s so tempting to paint him as the coolest apathetic person in the world
I Believe Kurt Was An Empath! Also Believe He Was Murdered! Greedy _itch Couldn't Handle The Fact He No Longer Wanted Her In His Life! Too Bad _itch Has Gotten Away With It So Far.... I Have Faith He's Hauntin Her & Take Joy From The Thought!
@@tonyaharmon1383 I used to believe that Kurt was Murdered by Courtney. But then after many years after his death you can see what more then likely killed him in the end was heartbreak and the pressure of being one of the biggest Rock stars in the world. I love Kurt even through death. He was an incredibly complex individual and being a Pisces meant that he had an empathic and highly emotionally sensitive and creative. An individual who couldn't inevitably handle his stardom. Being from a broken family stayed with him throughout his life. I wish to God that he hadn't given up on life or his daughter. I think he couldn’t end his drug addiction and it ultimately overcame him.
I was 22 when he died in 1994. You’d be surprised how many Black people like me loved Nirvana, a lot of rappers liked and respected him, and hip-hop artists as well. He significantly changed music the way the Beatles, Elvis, Leadbelly, Coltrane, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, and many more did. RIP Kurt.
@Google Isfuckingwhack his legacy was the vast number of musicians continuously being influenced by and emulating the sound that nirvana brought to the world
@Google Isfuckingwhack pearl jam already existed and was getting huge when nirvana and kurt still were around (nirvana didnt start "grunge" in the first place they were just part of it same as Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and so on).
Nirvana was one of the first bands I really loved listening to. He died when I was 12 and I credit them for my love of music. RIP Kurt! Can't believe it's been 30 years since you've gone.
I really like how you’ve realistically portrayed Kurt. Most people just see the blasé, disinterested, accidental rockstar who hates the mainstream. What you’ve done in this video is shown him from all angles, not just the fantastical romanticised angle most people paint him with. Well done, sir.
Grunge is garbage bro. Idk how old you are but I actually grew up with grunge kids. Basically just egotistical prototype hipster of his time. Even punks and metalheads hated grunge kids for how they acted like punk was just for show and they we’re “real” punks or rebels or whatever stupid shit they used to think they were. Dudes just got beat up when they came out to backyard shows with their jaded opinions and superiority complex while also acting like lazy losers
I'm 85 years old and just now connecting with Kurt Cobain. This is a remarkable film and engrossing beyond measure. Thank you. I love Nirvana's music and Kurt Cobain's story reflects a soul we know all so well. Genuine peace and love.
Wow! 85 and still rocking! Gives this 60 year old a refreshing boost of passion for life! Thanks Mr. Film guy I hope if I'm fortunate enough to see 85 I hope my Boogaloo is flowing like yours. Right on man! Keep on truckin like the doo-da man. Your old enough to know that Grateful Dead line.
Hey 👋 I'm half your age and I was a huge fan in my teens. I felt as a poor kid that I could do anything while Kurt succeeded, and a misfit being the most famous man alive meant so much to me as an autistic weirdo. When he died it really effected me badly, because of what I had projected onto him. I still admire him, an incredibly clever, wounded human being. I'm honoured to share this with you my friend ❤
Age restricting a video like this is to not only deny the general public a great piece of art. But to discourage younger generations to discover the importance of mental health. A kid might sit in class and roll their eyes when a teacher brings it up, but youtube is a community where a whole generation is finding the voices they understand and respect. Keep up the great work Soulr!
To be fair, I don’t think that this is exactly the kind of light-hearted video you show to a child, while their brain is still barely developed and this type of thing can mess with them for life. People don’t censor things from their children because they want them to stay innocent, it’s because they don’t want to risk lifelong mental issues.
@@BT-rl3nt and some kids are already dealing with this stuff on their own because no adults are talking to them about it. Some kids are also suicidal already or battling other mental illnesses. Not talking about it or pretending it doesn't exist is not helpful.
@@melissagreenwood1717 that’s not the point. This video isn’t meant to help people with those problems, it just talks about them. For reference, take someone who got his legs crushed by a train and needed them amputated. He definitely would appreciate support groups and safe spaces to talk with other amputees about how his condition affects his life, but the equivalent to this video is just a video of someone getting hit by a train. As a rule of thumb, showing a cancer patient a documentation of another cancer patient descending to a miserable existence in a hospital bed isn’t gonna help them or make them feel seen.
Yeah, well, the whole "...discouraging younger generations from discovering the importance of mental health" is the point. Big Tech wants all of us suffering from various afflictions. Haven't you noticed the corrupt new liberalist world order we're living under that the global elites have been forging for us? It goes beyond Big Tech even. The powers-that-be are also working hand-in-glove with the mainstream media, Hollywood, music industry, and Big Pharma to control us. They want us defeated and in a state of controlled despair. They want us lonely, demoralized, and atomized so that we're made to depend completely on this new liberal technocratic world order they're creating. Kinda makes their jobs of ruling over the rest of us a whole hell of a lot easier, no?
No, it was to foreshadow the elements of self harm, which many are sensitive to, it’s not like someone who can bypass the age restriction will stray away from the video because of the warning, if they didn’t have a reason regarding the elements it presents
I was 13. Grade 8, when I first sat down and listened to In Bloom. There was an alternative looking girl in my grade loved Nirvana. She was tall with dark unkept hair and a faded black Nirvana tshirt. Kept to herself alot. She played the song in the back of French class before a lesson. I still remember that mischievous half smile. Ill never forger her, Corina. I heard after highschool she eventually killed herself. The early 90s were a strange time to grow up in the Northwest.
"I'm not gay but I wish I was just to piss off the homophobes" What a legend lmao. Nirvana was my childhood, I was only 8 when Kurt died so vaguely remember his death but his music had a big impact on my life.
@@stophittingyourself123 quite literally what a homophobe is lol, but go on pretend like you know what you’re talking about while everyone in the real world laughs and ridicules you Have a good one!
@@ghost_mall lol I find it weird people always write that on Our Generation's videos VVe are the alt Generation and do you really think he was the Only one who thought like that ? VVow
This is probably one of my favorite Kurt videos. Many of them demonize Courtney or focus on his drug use. I loved how he stood up for women at a time that it wasn't as popular.
@@krisfrederick5001 I see you comment shit like this under pretty much every Kurt/Nirvana video I see yet I have never seen you produce even a shred of evidence towards your wacky theory being even remotely possible.
I don't understand, when was standing up for a female not popular. Maybe where you're from...but not not me, and not even close to how men feel. Youre taking away from Kurt, that he was a man, and believe it or not, a man's man....he was not this feminine creature you all like to create. See, that's a man's primary responsibility, to care for the women and children in your life...it's the most masculine thing you'll ever do, not to defend a woman's indiscretions, though. I won't put words in your mouth, but, it seems like you're giving him praise for publicly defending her numerous indiscretions, while not respecting his true, private experience with her....so. Look forward to whatever you may have to say. God Bless You And Anyone Who May Read This.
How exhausting it must've been to have two sides of your mind constantly battling each other to no end. That on top of relationship issues, past family trauma, drug problems, self destructive thought patterns and pressing controversies within the media, this man needed an escape and peace. Unfortunately he felt as if his escape and peace would never exist in this world. RIP Kurt you will live on in our hearts forever. Touching souls within the riveting music you created alongside Dave and Krist.
@goalidude I agree with what your saying that his mind may have been constantly battling him as he was paradoxical in nature. However, I felt he expressed his feelings into his music, art, and writing. He had decided to leave and divorce CL, who cannot handle people leaving her. This would have affected her status, financial situation, and her career. She put the suicide narrative into the media, which was completely opposite to the stories told by people in his inner circle (Dylan Carson, Buzz Osborne, his band mates, Layne Stanley and others) who stated he was in a good mood and happy (apart from his addiction) and she took him from us. There are too many inconsistencies and there is too circumstantial evidence to suggest his method of death was his choice. I believe he was murdered. Justice for Kurt 🤟♥️
@@sadhu7191yea, she may have dated and married other people before him but then again, those people were no where near as rich or famous as kurt was. she had nothing to gain by killing any of her past husbands unlike kurt.
it definitely does, I moved on this day and saw a rainbow and I was listening to both nirvana and alice in chains heavily months prior. Music brings us together.
Nirvana had to happen. Something was brewing in the underground and Nirvana were the first band that distilled the angst and anger of an entire generation into perfect songs. Bands like Hüsker Dü, Sonic Youth, The Melvins, Soundgarden, R.E.M. and many, many more had laid the foundation, but Nirvana marked the spot when all of 80s indie / rock converged into something bigger. The jump from "Bleach" to "Nevermind" is astounding. "Bleach" is cool, but still super rough and clearly influenced by other bands from the scene. "Nevermind" is paradoxical in itself: It's aggressive and vulnerable, it's harsh and beautiful. And "In utero" is exactly the album it had to be. It's a giant "fuck you" to the music industry, but still so catchy, even stuff like "Milk it", which is borderline insane. Nirvana meant so much to me when I was a teenager. They were the first band that really got to me.
They mean world to me. Really bummed he died so young. I was 24 when he died. And look into details,it's very fishy. I do believe he did drugs that day, but had enough drugs in his system he wouldn't be able to hold that gun and shoot from that angle. Someone was there and we'll never know real outcome.
Trauma is what ties us to this guy. He resonates with a lot of people who hurt inside. It sucks to have a hole in your heart, it really does RIP and get to therapy when you can, shit will change your life
I loved Nirvana when I had no idea what they were singing about, my English was quite limited. And it was before you could simply Google lyrics. Something in the sound, the chords, the voice completely overtook me and I got obsessed with Nirvana. I still am obsessed. I haven’t had a major trauma, been very sheltered all my life. Somehow it still resonates with me.

That's true... I'm old millennial, i was only.... Wait, like 10 when he shot him self. I grew up listening grunge and Finland punk scene. I will miss Kurt forever.
@@joukokulhelm6844 i was seven. I remember my parents talked about this guy who was found dead. My mum was pretty sad about it, so i asked her whats up and she told me that a brilliant musician died(nothing about suicide, drugs and stuff) and showed me Nevermind. That was the First time i listened to nirvana consciously. As a 7 year old german i had no clue what Kurt was singing about but i was hooked immediately. Then it came back to my mind that this dude is dead and i shed a tear with my mum.
Yeah even some rappers like Kurt I love their music and so do people younger than me as well as the older people that is a similar age group as him. I wish I could have gone to a concert of theirs but I was still a little kid back then but clearly remember him on the radio.
I’m always in awe of Kurt. Both his bad and good sides. He was one of the last true artists to be able to achieve recognition. I also appreciate that your documentary didn’t blame Courtney. She’s gotten way too much hate for being flawed.
Some people are a-holes, they don’t understand how somebody could that depressed. I think it takes a lack of intellectual capacity to not see that Kurt Cobain was that tormented, it’s like blissful ignorance except these people are normies who can’t comprehend that he was a human being like the rest of us , brainless idiots
flawed? she literally had kurt killed tho. literally all of the evidence puts to her. she also had one of her own band members killed, kristen pfaff. why exactly are u defending a murderer?
I'm in awe of the sheer amount of murder and rape threats he made on that journalist womans answering machine. I mean, he kept at that for MONTHS. That's the dedication you'd only get from a generational icon.
Kurt Cobain and Prince are the two musicians that I literally feel their soul sing when I listen to their music. I don't know any other way to explain it.
Kurt said in an interview that he sings with his voice coming from his stomach, specifically the part where it hurts him because of his illness and he uses that pain to sound more raw, could be why
Have been a Nirvana fan since the 90's and this is one of the best Kurt documentaries I've seen. It's refreshing to have someone look at him from an artistic perspective rather than all the drama.
The acoustic pieces in the background really highlights the sense of melody in Kurt's songwriting and its phenomenal. Best documentary about Kurt and Nirvana I've seen so far
I can't believe this video is free. This is top quality content. Your perspective was well informed and carefully researched. You made very clear the duplicity of Kurt Cobain that you don't hear another documentaries. Good shit man. I'm very impressed
@@brianvanhorn8289 Chris Cornell doesn't come into the conversation but maybe coz I'm English, in England Nirvana wasn't considered grunge and the same as the other big 3! No one likes the other 3 in fact they were kind of hated and seen as depressing and full on dad rock and Nirvana wasn't seen as "grunge" they were seen more as pop punk rock and they had great songs. Cornells voice just grated on you like Mariah Carey or something so many histrionics in it was so cheesy. Nirvana only good thing from that time
When Kurt died, I hung myself from a tree. The branch broke . I later got married and have two boys, now 16 and 17. Life does change, and it does get better.
For some. Some it doesn't. But there is a different in going 'yeah dude this sucks right now,' and belittling someone suicidal for how their brain works. Its basically telling them to go do it then, and if they do then calling them an asshole. But most of these comments don't know or care about that anyway
As a teenager as born in this current generation its hard to find people my age who appreciate kurt cobain and rock bands who change my outlook on music and life in general
Yeah my dad played come as you are when we were driving once and I asked him what the name of the song was becuase I liked it he looked surprised and he said it was called come as your are by nirvana so when I got home I googled what nirvana was and watched countless videos explaining the history of it and and the life of Kurt and something about his music and aura made me feel so comfortable in my own skin I suddenly had the revelation that screw what everyone else thinks as long as it’s not hurting anyone and makes you happy. I feel like my life has been changed by Kurt and his music, rest in peace🕊️🪽
Kurt is so mf funny John Lennon= "sit on your ass and be beatin" Kurt = "bullshitt find the gluton of oppression and blow his fcking head off " 😂😂 I almost choked on my coffee when heard that shite
I was 16 going on 17 when i heard that he passed. I found out at school and i remember looking out the window of my art class not wanting to believe it. Nirvana was why i started playing music and playing in bands all the way to my 40s. They will always have a place in my heart. Listening to them is like getting in a time machine now days. Even though a frown eventually comes on my face because of what happened in the end. The smile it puts on definitely outweighs the frown. Im so glad i got to come of age with so many great bands. Now im the old guy reminiscing on the good ol days. lol. I wouldn't have it any other way 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I couldn’t help but cry at the end of the video. Kurt and his mentality has always aligned with me and because of him I know I’m not the only person dealing with dark thoughts. Thank you Kurt, for everything. you have saved my life and many others.
I also couldn't stop myself from crying. I usually don't have these thoughts, but I really respect Kurt. He seemed like such a wonderful human, he respected women and other people. You don't see that respect anymore. I didn't even know nirvana that much before this video, maybe like a few songs, but this man has still impacted me. I love his art and creativity, and how his mind works. I wish he didn't go down that path. I wish there could've been something to stop him. But beautiful things never last, unfortunately.
@@hueningiihe was murdered hun. also, i love kurt's music as well but please don't idolize people when you don't even know them personally. u don't know what he did in his private life, so no one knows exactly if he was truly a "good" person or not like u make him out to be.
As a kid, I couldn't understand how could this guy look like a complete slacker, play just three chords and be amazing all at the same time. Then, I woke up after unplugged. It became completely clear that he was completely calculating and well practiced. He was a hard working genius who hussled until his body was taken over from the drugs.
i’ve come back to this video now for the 10th time i think. i can’t stop rewatching this because of how well the video was put together. the music, the script, everything. i’ve liked nirvanas music for a bit now, and this video has helped me quench my curiosity on why the band was so short-lived, and what was going on from within. it’s a very sad story about kurt and nirvanas journey, but one that'll stick with us for many years to come.
I'm Kurt's age, remember clearly the moment his death was announced on the radio. It was devastating, it felt like an entire era had ended in many ways.
Rewatching this film for 4 or 5th time, and it is still one of the best documentaries about him. We have a great pleasure to watch it for free. Huge thanks for you man, spectacular work
Kurt's death was really the death of my childhood. I graduated high school/turned 18 in 1994. I can't explain how much impact Nirvana and Kurt had on my life. I loved the outlook on life you gave at the end. I often get an angry feeling when I think of Kurt's death and wish he would have continued on past whatever was going on with him at that time. I've dealt with depression all my life, and at times thought of ending it all, but I'm glad I didn't because things have happened in my life that I wouldn't want to not experience. This was excellent, and the guitar covers were amazing as well!
Man, I can't say that Kurt's death was my childhood ending(since I haven't even been born at that time). But mine is very similar to yours, since my fav rock idol was Chester Benington, and he happenned to pass away exactly my final year of highschool when I was 18 (2017). Life is just as amazing as it is sad man.
I love his music and his art. As a former opiate user myself (now in recovery) I fully understand the difficulties of quitting. “Heroin is a way to reach nirvana in five minutes. -- Kurt Cobain --
I saw Nirvana 4 months before Cobain died. It was one of the greatest nights of my life - I was 26 at the time. I even have the first edition of the Book "The Story of Nirvana," written while he was alive. This is a great video that brings up a lot of important points. Learning about how he came up with so little, one can see why he was so unbalanced. I really feel for than man. I had major problems with alcohol, so I can relate to some of his troubles.
his mother's personality is much like courtney love's...perfect storm to drive him crazy.....of course I love CL but it would be a nitemare to live with and share one's life with her.
@@spaghettisauce445just because he was a celebrity with money doesn't mean he had everything ? Clearly, Kurt was hurting on the inside meaning mentally and physically (chronic stomach pain).
@@seanpowell1661 he didn’t have stomach pain. he made that up to justify his drug use. this story is skewed and a lot of it is false to cover up the fact that courtney fcking killed him
Completely violated his plea for the privacy of his diaries, but yeah, other than that this was phenomenally well done, despite the absence of a few major pieces, such as his hereditary predisposition to, and diagnoses of bipolar disorder. As well as completely glossing over the band’s absolutely legendary Unplugged set. still, this is probably the most well done piece on Cobain that I’ve seen on RUclips.
Little did i know that I was going to be given words of inspiration and hope . Watched the hole video sitting on my toilet while getting my fix and getting well. Time went by fast definitely didn't feel like an hour plus . That's what happens when your in the moment, and that's priceless . Again thankfull for this beautiful documentary and those last words of hope and inspiration I really needed to hear , and I'm pretty sure you touched many hurt souls who are in addiction looking for hope looking for a way to get through this . I wish this on no one , and ask those who haven't to never try it please please if it's never been in you then why try it , your playing with your life it isn't worth it . To those struggling, I know we will make it through never loose hope keep your head up God loves you 💗
I'm kind of the same. I was born 5 days before he we lost Kurt. And yet the band has guided so much of my life and especially my teenage years. It's also crazy to think I'm older now than Kurt was when he died.
My cousin used to make fun of me cause I was listening to Nirvana still years after Kurt died i was 13 when he passed I remember where I was too when the news came out
one of the most destructive feelings are self hate and self loath. if see someone and think to yourself "that person is worthless" that person feels the same about themselves hundreds of times more and believe me, when you feel like that, you don't know how NOT to feel like it. it's not as easy as someone saying "don't hate yourself you're fine and great and blah blah" you have to show them the love with care and passion, with your actions not just words. just please don't abandon them you'll regret it
Well put together but... they drain the life from you but wont get better because there is a black hole inside of them. One of you 2 will go if you both dont find the love within yourselves. You are not a rehab for broken people. Love you first.
Thank you for such a superb and genuinely well-researched doc on one of my teenage icons. The fact that chronic stomach pain was a big reason for his heroin addiction, the correct portrayal of Courtney (that she was already successful independent of Kurt and that he found her intelligent and bold, which he admired), his paradoxical view of life. I’ve read all the books/biographies and seen all the docs and truly dude, excellent work.
I hope you realize how fucking awesome the content you create is. In a world full of absolute garbage being pumped out everywhere you turn, I frequently watch videos of yours on people that I had absolutely zero interest in going into it. The way you tell the stories of these peoples lives is so inspiring and genuine that every time I end up coming out of it with an entirely new level of respect and interest in the subject of the video that I would have before just dismissed as another random famous person before. What you’ve done, and continue to do here is truly special.
Thank you for not undercutting Courtney Love’s impact on Kurt. I think people tend to skip over the way she impacted his life and artistry just because of personal bias, but you’re exactly right; they made each other better artists, even if they weren’t good for each other in other ways. For the record, I don’t believe that she had any direct involvement with his death. He wanted to die, and sadly, succeeded. I hate that he never got the help he needed because he deserved better from life. I hope that his sensitive soul is at peace, and that he can feel the genuine love that so many people have for him, in some way.
that bitch killed him. OR had someone kill him, I still don't know which. because I know she was sick enough to do it herself. She was fckin Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins dude they were having literal European Affairs.

This video truly touched me. Brought a tear to my eye. Beautifully done. Growing up he was the only celebrity i could actually identify with. We shared a lot of the same experiences and mental issues as well. I did some pretty self destructive things in my early twenties. Came close to death way too many times for my liking. Came out of it with a son that motivated me to get my shit together. ive been getting help for a couple of years now and have been sober since april of 2021. Ill be 30 next June
Your first two sentences alone are proof this is a well done video, since ur name is “…apathetic”😊👌🏻. Proof that great music transcends even hard-set staunch emotions ✌🏻😃
One thing that baffles me to this day, is that there were two people actually present in the house. Courtney asked them to stay there in case he showed up, which he did and they heard him come in, but they were too high on H to move out of the room they were in. If they weren't high, they may have been able to prevent his death. Crazy
Pretty typical addict behavior. I say this as someone who’s had on and off addiction issues. I’ve always been baffled how my addict friends tend to lose all connection to their conscience when they start using. I never went quite full junky myself tho. More of an alcohol guy, tho have used opiates heavily.
Loved this video! A balanced and researched video that didn’t just paint cobain as a brooding, depressed icon. Rather as a real person who had a range of emotions and was wresting with life.
I was 10 years old when he died, at that time I was just getting into music and learning guitar, I had shirts, posters, Nirvana was everything to me at that age. When the day came and the news broke, I was shattered... I remember crying and feeling like I lost a friend. I'm 40 now and I still think about his music and his legacy, what could have been if he been able to get the help he needed.
I'm not from Aberdeen but I am from the peninsula, the surrounding region. It's scary and sad how many lives the people I grew up with reflects Kurt's early life. As Soulr mentioned earlier, the internet has changed our part of the world as much as any other, but it's become our drug of choice to combat the isolation. It's crazy how a place can be so beautiful and yet so isolated and economically depressed
I used to live about 20ish minutes away from Aberdeen and completely understand. Its sort of the same with my brother and I, but we found different ways to cope, via friends and sports. The first half of this video felt oddly personal.
I lived on the Long Beach Peninsula briefly. A little farther from Aberdeen but not much. I've lived in every part of the US, but that area was by far the most crushingly depressing I've ever been. Other than big city northeast in the winter.
I’m a huge nirvana fan and this is the best documentary I have seen on Kurt. The information is accurate and it really captured the struggles Kurt had at the end of his life. Lots of people think Courtney killed him, but if you look at everything happening, it’s clear she didn’t. His drug addiction was taking over, he no longer found joy playing music (it became a chore), the band was about to dissolve, his marriage was on the rocks and he felt like a shitty father. I think just about anyone would be suicidal at that point. It’s so sad the only thing left of him is his music 😢 I’ve never related to anyone more than him. Reading his journals was like reading my own thoughts!
Finally! Someone with common sense! I feel so bad for both Courtney and Francis. Imagine how it would feel, losing you're beloved husband in such a traumatic and devestating way, only to be blamed of murdering him? Then, also imagine being the child of this couple, and people blaming your mother of committing a horrific crime that you know, FOR A FACT, she did not commit. That would make your loss so much worse, by a hundred-fold! People really need to understand how damaging these baseless accusations really are to Kurt's friends and family - ESPECIALLY his daughter.
Not entirely, accurate. Courtneys Mum did not report him as missing, it was Courtney, and she was not frantic and called the ambulance in Rome, she waited 2 hours before she called them. I loved this documentary and it is one of the best biopics that captured Kurts personality and his struggles from different sides, which is amazing. The end message is absoutely beautiful and I wish he had of found the inspiration to get himself out of his addictions and through this period of debilitating deprssion. However, I am not one hundred per cent entirely convinced that his death was suicide, and that part of this documentary was one sided. There are too many inconsistences surrounding the circumstances of his death that don't add up. Fishy stuff.
No there’s a lot of false information Courtney filed the MP report under kurts moms name, when asked she said bc no one would take her serious. A possibility why he fled rehab was that Courtney tried to call and see if he was at that particular location 13 times and the facility would give no info, I believe Kurt was running from something. The note is obvious forgery and Courtney’s lawyer found a backpack of hers with her handwriting practice of kurts. He was going to divorce HER, he got her signed to his record label which would go away and his millions would go away for her. She was jealous of his relationship with the new bassist of hole Kristen pfaff who died under mysterious circumstances just a couple months after Kurt and around the hole members who were the last to see Kurt. It’s almost clear that it’s a botched suicide ruling as it was made in 3 hours when normally it would have a 2 day minimum investigation. It’s silly to ignore the thousands of coincidences.
Having a child while being in such a destructive suicidal state with addiction problems and perpetual emotional baggage will never not be strange personally. But I'm glad the daughter grew up well.
Dude, I know my comment is late and you won't prob notice it but your selection of the band Kryzys for the background music moved me. Both Nirvana and Kryzys - bands that displayed a sense of unique sound and melancholy to me when I discovered them in the same year. You put the exact Kryzys songs on the exact moments and emotions of the video as I had organised them in my head! |Thank you!
There was a real relatable aspect to Cobain, especially if you look at stars before or since. If you were a teen at that time, you really felt the music and that hey, here is a star just like us. He was a huge factor in my generation playing guitar, as unlike the virtuoso playing of the 80s, this was attainable playing, and tons of teens learned because of them. If anything, I always describe the 90s as the decade in music where being really, really different still could mean you would be successful. I can't imagine any other time where bands as diverse as soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, beck and soul coughing were getting regular play on MTV and radio. And nirvana were a big part in getting huge exposure to a pile of bands, many on very small record labels. And because the artists were so diverse, and getting exposure, you ended up with a ton of teens and young adults who had wide interests in music... a fella could go on about this. It was a unique seven or eight years in music from 91-98 or so.
You're reference to a " pile of bands " is quite telling ,as a few of these bands , sounded like a pile ! I don't know how they " slipped in" with the great ones ,but someone must have left the door open !
I belive Kurt was an introspective person who had a great inner world, which is probably why he was so creative and a perfectionist. Drugs distorted that world and that makes me very sad. Finding people with an open mind and vision of themselves is not so common, and I think it is a very good quality to make art and make meaninful connections with others. I really like your documentary. Great content and message. Thank you for your work! :)
That was fantastic, thank you!! As a generation x’er I lived to experience the beginning of Nirvana and mourned it’s demise. The world lost a beautiful, sensitive and gentle soul when Kurt died. It was a real tragedy. Thankfully, Kurt lives on through his music and through people like you who devote the time to make these documentaries. The 80s and 90s were an amazing time for music and Nirvana was at the top of the music revolution. They forever changed the trajectory by removing the glam rock hair bands and replacing them with a realness that could only be felt at the time. Kurt was who we looked to to feel normal in a world where a lot of us felt we didn’t fit in. What scares me is that we’ve lost so many incredible musicians and artists from my generation way too soon. We need to bubble wrap Dave Grohl and Eddie Vedder…keep them safe.
This actually made cry, especially at the end. Nirvana is one of the bands that changed my view on music, and I listen to them almost everyday now. I currently have anxiety and don't have much friends. But when I put on bands like Queen and Nirvana, it feels like heaven. I know my life is still a long way to go. I want to bypass all this and be free from this. After watching this, I know more about Kurt's struggles. This is way I will stay clear of drugs because it took away many legends that died too soon. I hope when I'm on my death bed with my kids and wife beside me, I can take one final breath and remember all that music has done to get me through life and all the memories good or bad. RIP Kurt Kobain.
Brother i teared up also when he said " if your watching this video you've obviously found a reason to live" and the fact is , No i haven't . Iv promised myself that i will not harm myself while my mother whom i am her carer is still alive as she needs me. Past that her passing i can deal with. But the endless hopelessness . loneliness future homelessness and despair i see little to overcome
I never really had any interest until I was an adult even after hearing their songs a billion times but him and I both had a pretty fucked up past so I also relate to him. I hope you can find the peace in your life you deserve it.

He achieved so much but his soul was tired, his legacy is a reminder to take care of ourselves especially when we can give so much through our gifts and love. Think of it as you get to translate his legacy in a different way. Future generations need encouragement and understanding
I am thirty seven now. When Kurt's story ended, I was but an eight year old boy. I started learning guitar when I was 14. I have been playing Nirvana songs for 23 years. It is entirely possible that I have been playing them longer than he had. I think he wanted to teach us to play music, no matter where we were at in life. The songs sound so simple, but there's so much depth and nuance behind the riffage. It gives me hope when I find folks who weren't around in his lifetime learning and sharing about what he was about. Thanks for making this video.
I love your videos man. Watched this before it got taken down the first time and i loved it. This is a Netflix/Hulu level documentary. Seeing you grow over the years as been a blessing. Keep this shit up!🖤
Hearing Kurt talk about his stomach issues and hearing his experiences with being put on hard prescription as a kid is wild having dealt with and still deal with the same things. I knew I’d relate to him the same way many of his fans relate to his struggles with mental illness but those two things have had massive impacts on my life and health and while common aren’t quite as common
With all due respect to Kurt, there’s nothing quite like H to make your stomach feel awful. I can definitely dull pain, but its way of making one puke and be constipated is pretty rough.
No one who is a celebrity became a celebrity "by accident". 4 minutes and 30 seconds into this documentary and I love how you are highlighting the hypocrisies and contradictions of Kurt Cobain, and how he talked out of both sides of his mouth.
He was an hypocrite, he was a heroin addict and was too weak minded to dig himself out of the hole he had dug for himself, abandoning his baby daughter in the process without any thought to her state of mind growing up without a father, he’s not someone to be admired
The message at the end of the video really got to me. We're all alone together. Sending you a huge, supportive hug. Glad you've found the spark to keep going pal & if you just need to vent to a stranger, I'm all ears
Don't do it man. I used to be suicidal myself. If you die, no more chances to make shit good (plus it's an overwhelming experience). If you survive it, the forced "help" that will result can often be worse than whatever you were trying to escape to begin with. Not worth it either way.
I don't know if you are still around. When I get like that I try to help others so I don't focus on me. Not in a wanting to be praised way, sometimes its just making dinner for my friends. But I make sure there is always a book I want to read, a concert I want to go to. And if nothing else works, grab a bottle of Jameson's and turn the music up loud and sing along. It gives me something to look forward to, something to change how I feel this very minute. Cos if I'm going out I'm doing whatever the hell it is I want to anyway regardless of laws and other people's morals, this isn't their life to live. And after awhile that weight on your chest eases up a bit. You might not 2wnt to be here, and were dragged kicking and screaming to get to this point, but you are here so you might as well enjoy something out of it. Maybe buy a pet.
Kurt will always hold a special place in my heart as I thank him so much for sweeping all the posers under the carpet and making authentic music and art at that time a main focus again...his melodic sense was pure natural genius whether he knew it or not and took great care in creating it.he never wrote a bad song in my opinion...I miss him being on this planet every day
The most important artist of my childhood. Now I know why. His story is almost exactly my story. I had a spiritual connection to him I felt but didn't know completely why...it devastated me when he died. I was 12. I remember exactly where I was standing.
Thank you for this beautiful biographic video essay. Kurt died a month before I was born so I only remember hearing his music on the radio and then later in my early 20s when I was struggling with finding myself and navigating the world on my own I listened to his music religiously and read Heavier than Heaven. Kurt and Nirvana was and is a huge inspiration in my life and art. Life can be hard but without the hard parts we can't appreciate the good parts! ❤ If you're struggling, hang in there and something good will happen!
Wasn’t planning on watching till the end bc of the length of the video but once I started watching it I was immediately pulled in and knew it was gonna be good. Amazing quality. Such a beautifully made documentary and everything was put together so well. Thank you for this.
This is just perfection. The video editing was fantastic and it made me think about drugs and suicide like i never did. Thanks for making this video, thanks kurt for letting us take such a perfect example of rock star and at the same time a second life as a suicidal and drug abusing person
Generation X Very much a lost generation between boomers and millennials. I graduated high school as the Seattle scene popped and took over. I was only 5 years younger than Kurt and yet he felt like he was aged for beyond his years. So many musicians of my era have died to drugs or depression, but as you said, they all left a lasting mark on millions of lives. I will forever be indebted to these people who gave me a voice, when I was afraid to have one, or thought I didn’t deserve one. You have to ready to fight, for your life sometimes because life will never take a day off. Even now, as I fight cancer I find comfort in the words and melodies of my youth and they gave me strength to keep fighting. I wish it did the same for them.
Honestly to the person who made this video this message is for you “Thank you so much for making this video I literally cannot stop watching it and it had me in tears every time yes sad tears but dude I never felt so emotionally changed after documentaries until this one this is a true master piece of art in my eyes just outstanding editing and I can tell you did your heavy heavy research like I can tell hard work was put into this I always loved Nirvana but hated them at one point because idk but I got my love for them resparked a while ago and seeing this video has moved me in such a way I can’t describe thank you”
As someone who has spent way too much time watching documentaries of Kurt online, this one is by far the best I have ever seen. You approached this beautifully. The way in which you examined Kurt's life from beginning to end and made logical assumptions on the effects of major life events (such as parents' divorce, a few breakups with long term girlfriends, the desire to be the greatest band in the world, etc...) while ultimately understanding that we can never know what Kurt was TRULY experiencing, as is the case for all humans, was superb. Many documentaries tend to overplay Kurt's drug addiction and Courtney's negative influence on him while underplaying the trauma of his parent's divorce and the pressures of being the frontman of the most famous band on the planet who GENUINELY WANTED TO BE FAMOUS until he achieved it and realized that the responsibility entailed was much more than he ever could have imagined but he he could never go back. You navigated these areas very well. As mentioned before, I appreciate the emphasis you placed on his parent's divorce. As we see in the psychological literature, divorce has life-long negative effects on children and this certainly had a massive impact on Kurt's life. Facts such as Kurt living in 10 homes in the span of roughly four years after leaving his Dad's place and frequently skipping class and hanging with delinquents in high school emphasized this. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this documentary is that you did what almost NO OTHER DOCUMENTARY HAS DONE: delve into the REALITY of Kurt Cobain rather than the icon he presented to the world. Using various journal entries and certain interviews as evidence, you revealed that Kurt was not as apathetic about fame as he often claimed to be. Kurt DID want to be the most successful band on the planet. This is evident in the fact that after Bleach sold over 40,000 copies with an indie label, he was not satisfied. He wanted his music so sell more. Also by the fact that if he did not see Nirvana on MTV after a certain amount of time, he became upset as he believed people should see his music more. This is hardly ever mentioned in documentaries on Kurt, but you brought them in and it changed the entire piece. It shows that Kurt was much more complex than he is often portrayed (and that is saying something because he is already portrayed as one of the most complex artists of all time) and he had motivations that many of his die-hard fans would be made uneasy to find out. I also appreciated the focus on Kurt's non-musical art. This is also rarely mentioned in other documentaries, or at least not in the way that it was here. When we observe his painting and doodles, we can see that raw pain that we experience sonically in his music visually through images. It adds a deeper layer into the suffering that was so central to Kurts experience of life and his artistic expression. The clips and soundtrack for this piece were incredible. You chose clips that accurately highlighted the given aspect of Kurt's life that was explained and there was not a single clip that felt out of place. I appreciated that besides brief clips of from concerts, you did not use any original nirvana songs. Instead you mainly used Nirvana covers by Justice Der which were unlike anything I have ever heard and set the tone for the entire doc. I do wish you included some snippets from the "blank on blank" interview in which Kurt talked about the divorce and its its negative effects on him (I believe he said something along the lines of "everything was going great in life until the divorce") as well as his chronic stomach pain as I believe it would have added tremendous value to the doc Overall this was a masterpiece. It is better done than some Netflix documentaries. THANK YOU! From now on when someone asks me what is the best documentary on Kurt Cobain, THIS IS IT!
As a 44 year old, the most interesting part was listening to you describe how we used to procure music... I did definitely trade in my Christmas CDs, but the first one I ever got was Aerosmith. My brother got Nirvana, and we used to share Cds. The struggle was real. I really enjoyed your documentary. Thanks!
This is hands down one of the best, most informative, and artistic videos on the platform. Thank you so much for telling Kurt’s story in such a compelling and evocative manner, definitely will be watching more times… The ending was really beautiful.
As someone who only had an extremely surface level understanding of Kurt prior to this video, I thought it was beautifully thorough and respectful. The most special part for me was your message of hope at the end. I (as many other viewers I assume) resonated deeply with Kurt's depression and suicidal thoughts, so that ending message was very thoughtful and important. I hope Kurt has found peace, along with Courtney, Frances, his friends, and family.
I was a young teen at that time, now on a bit of a nostalgia kick the last few days. I can still remember the exact moment of first hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit on the radio while stuck in traffic like my first kiss or first hit of weed. Only 8 minutes in I can already tell this is going to be the best video I've seen thus far on the subject. You can really explain how life was back then to a younger generation. Bravo, man.
I believe that Kurt's constant state of duality may be due to his untreated bipolar disorder. I have bipolar 1 disorder and I feel like my beliefs and opinions are almost entirely dependent on what my current mood is. Kurt's addiction is also most likely due to bipolar disorder. Around two out of three people who have bipolar disorder also develop a drug addiction. One out of five people with bipolar disorder die by suicide and almost half will try. Untreated bipolar is no joke. I think that Kurt's life is a textbook example of how untreated bipolar disorder can damage someone's life
as someone with bipolar 2 you’re right my beliefs flip so much according to my moods that sometimes i feel like a walking contradiction which can lead to me being depressed and confused this video hit home. being bipolar is not a joke fr
I agree w you on all these points. I've often wondered if mental health had been more like it is today (open) if Kurt would have had more of a fighting chance. We will never know ❤
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised by this at all. My grandma was also bipolar and I see many parallels here. Some days were very difficult, but other days she was the best person in the world. She also developed a strong addiction on sleeping pills, anti-depressants and other medication (LOTS of other medication). And in the end she unfortunately also took her own life on one of the "bad" days. RIP grandma, I miss you.
56:45 is in my opinion the most spot on thing when it comes to his suicide. Once again in my opinion, this is exactly what Kurt was going through and no doubt led to his suicide. The mind is a dangerous place, try to stay out of it.
@@christomorphoThat’s a recipe for disaster!! Too high of a dose for complete darkness, freaking out with anxiety attacks are for sure. Maybe 3.5g at the most if ur gonna do that. Just my opinion though.
You should. I definitely recommend going through many different styles of music. Such as roots reggae, Dub, Punk, downtempo, trip hop. There's a ton of great styles out there.
Talented journalism here, folks. This guy has done his research and has a refined and poignant portrait of Kurt. Very impressed. Oh..and thank you for your work.
I think the reason Kurt had different view points is his bi polar disorder. You change your mind and perspective a lot on your past present and future with severe mood changes. It’s a rollercoaster ride of emotions, memories and sensations
Kurt worked the media. We really have no idea about his personal life those last year's. I think Kurt realized how much losing your anonymity sucks. So he regained anonymity. He didn't kill himself and he wasn't murdered
I have been a fan since his death in 1994. I have obsessively researched Kurt and his life. I have even talk to someone who knew him. In all of that, there is little to no evidence that Kurt ever had a manic episode. The bipolar myth is just to fit the tortured artist. Based on everything I have researched, he was depressive. I also believe he may have suffered with borderline personality disorder. His mood swings were to fast and often. They lasted minutes to days. I also believe he also had CPTSD. (I actually believe BPD and CPTSD are the same thing) I'm not a doctor but I do have a lot of personal experience with these symptoms. I wish he had the strength to stay but unfortunately, the illness won. 😔
Nirvana and Kurt really influenced me in my teens and that for life. I live in a monastery now studying the ancient texts of India and practising meditation. Your documentary is indeed one of the best on Kurt I have seen and I have resonated with many things you have said. Especially I like your observation of how Kurt lived at times where there was no social media and your choice of records you could hear was very limited. Part of me is missing that world and I feel alien in the present time of technological overdose. You have very nicely highlighted the fact that Kurt was full of contradictions. By analysing Kurt we get to realize a little about ourselves and the times we live in as well. Good luck with your work I have seen many other of your docs and they are all very interesting and nicely philosophical which is amazing.
the conclusion of this video is so comforting. Im also struggling with addiction and depression and despite being a mostly melancholic and sad documentary it brought me hope in the end. Thank you
I was 20 in my parent's kitchen listening to one of the local radio rock stations when one of the DJs announced he was gone...I still miss him and wonder what things would be like if he had been able to keep going. Incesticide is still my favourite Nirvana album, hands down.
Wow man, you are extremely in tune with your perspective, and this video really hit me in so many ways. I, myself, am a musician, or at least I was a musician, I’m 36, have an addiction to opiates, I’m currently sitting at the end of my bed, with tears in my eyes, after what I just experienced…..that really spoke to me, thank you for that.
Hey brother, I wish you the best and hope you can find that something that you need outside of substance, from the sounds of it you don’t even need to be told but there’s more to life then any drug can show you, I hope this doesn’t come across as pretentious, I’m in a similar boat to you and I wish genuine love and happiness for you, anyway enough rambling, have a mad day/night and peace
Kurt’s music has kept people alive, something he could not achieve by himself. I think he knew that what he left behind was going to be the best version of himself, in his music.
I remember watching this days after it was originally uploaded. I was blown away at how good this is. Truly one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Incredible stuff man
I grew up in an analog world and now I have a deep curiosity of obscure media. I absolutely adore cover art, specifically laser discs as they are the LP of home cinema
My earliest memories were crawling around and looking at my parents record collection on the floor. The covers were amazing. I also vividly remember my own little record player I could reach from my crib. I played the Chipmunks Christmas album all the time. Amazed my mother didn't hang herself having to listen to that over and over.

@@tonyaharmon1383 that’s dumb he was a clear suicidal
@@tonyaharmon1383 I used to believe that Kurt was Murdered by Courtney. But then after many years after his death you can see what more then likely killed him in the end was heartbreak and the pressure of being one of the biggest Rock stars in the world. I love Kurt even through death. He was an incredibly complex individual and being a Pisces meant that he had an empathic and highly emotionally sensitive and creative. An individual who couldn't inevitably handle his stardom. Being from a broken family stayed with him throughout his life. I wish to God that he hadn't given up on life or his daughter. I think he couldn’t end his drug addiction and it ultimately overcame him.
@@joannatruscott4733 NOPE,DO YER RESEARCH HONEY,,,,🤨🧐 HE WAS Murdered.
I was 22 when he died in 1994. You’d be surprised how many Black people like me loved Nirvana, a lot of rappers liked and respected him, and hip-hop artists as well. He significantly changed music the way the Beatles, Elvis, Leadbelly, Coltrane, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, and many more did. RIP Kurt.
@Google Isfuckingwhack his message. Some people just get it
Funny because I put nirvana on with a coworker like yourself and he said he used to listen to it back in the day and liked it.
@Google Isfuckingwhack his legacy was the vast number of musicians continuously being influenced by and emulating the sound that nirvana brought to the world
@Google Isfuckingwhack pearl jam already existed and was getting huge when nirvana and kurt still were around (nirvana didnt start "grunge" in the first place they were just part of it same as Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and so on).
Really. Never though people in hip hop fucked with Nirvana
Nirvana was one of the first bands I really loved listening to. He died when I was 12 and I credit them for my love of music. RIP Kurt! Can't believe it's been 30 years since you've gone.
I really like how you’ve realistically portrayed Kurt. Most people just see the blasé, disinterested, accidental rockstar who hates the mainstream. What you’ve done in this video is shown him from all angles, not just the fantastical romanticised angle most people paint him with. Well done, sir.

Hey 👋 I'm half your age and I was a huge fan in my teens. I felt as a poor kid that I could do anything while Kurt succeeded, and a misfit being the most famous man alive meant so much to me as an autistic weirdo. When he died it really effected me badly, because of what I had projected onto him. I still admire him, an incredibly clever, wounded human being. I'm honoured to share this with you my friend ❤
Listen to his vma mtv last videos sure you maybe have heard him from there where did you sleep last night lovely
Age restricting a video like this is to not only deny the general public a great piece of art. But to discourage younger generations to discover the importance of mental health. A kid might sit in class and roll their eyes when a teacher brings it up, but youtube is a community where a whole generation is finding the voices they understand and respect. Keep up the great work Soulr!
To be fair, I don’t think that this is exactly the kind of light-hearted video you show to a child, while their brain is still barely developed and this type of thing can mess with them for life. People don’t censor things from their children because they want them to stay innocent, it’s because they don’t want to risk lifelong mental issues.
@@BT-rl3nt and some kids are already dealing with this stuff on their own because no adults are talking to them about it. Some kids are also suicidal already or battling other mental illnesses. Not talking about it or pretending it doesn't exist is not helpful.
@@melissagreenwood1717 that’s not the point. This video isn’t meant to help people with those problems, it just talks about them. For reference, take someone who got his legs crushed by a train and needed them amputated. He definitely would appreciate support groups and safe spaces to talk with other amputees about how his condition affects his life, but the equivalent to this video is just a video of someone getting hit by a train. As a rule of thumb, showing a cancer patient a documentation of another cancer patient descending to a miserable existence in a hospital bed isn’t gonna help them or make them feel seen.
Yeah, well, the whole "...discouraging younger generations from discovering the importance of mental health" is the point. Big Tech wants all of us suffering from various afflictions. Haven't you noticed the corrupt new liberalist world order we're living under that the global elites have been forging for us?
It goes beyond Big Tech even. The powers-that-be are also working hand-in-glove with the mainstream media, Hollywood, music industry, and Big Pharma to control us. They want us defeated and in a state of controlled despair. They want us lonely, demoralized, and atomized so that we're made to depend completely on this new liberal technocratic world order they're creating. Kinda makes their jobs of ruling over the rest of us a whole hell of a lot easier, no?
No, it was to foreshadow the elements of self harm, which many are sensitive to, it’s not like someone who can bypass the age restriction will stray away from the video because of the warning, if they didn’t have a reason regarding the elements it presents
I was 13. Grade 8, when I first sat down and listened to In Bloom. There was an alternative looking girl in my grade loved Nirvana. She was tall with dark unkept hair and a faded black Nirvana tshirt. Kept to herself alot. She played the song in the back of French class before a lesson. I still remember that mischievous half smile.
Ill never forger her, Corina. I heard after highschool she eventually killed herself.
The early 90s were a strange time to grow up in the Northwest.

This is probably one of my favorite Kurt videos. Many of them demonize Courtney or focus on his drug use. I loved how he stood up for women at a time that it wasn't as popular.
"Fans" who exhibit blatant sexism by hating on Courtney at every given moment are exactly the kind of people who Kurt hated when he was alive.
We demonize Courtney because she had him murdered when he was trying to leave her and music.
@@krisfrederick5001 Yawn
@@krisfrederick5001 I see you comment shit like this under pretty much every Kurt/Nirvana video I see yet I have never seen you produce even a shred of evidence towards your wacky theory being even remotely possible.
I don't understand, when was standing up for a female not popular. Maybe where you're from...but not not me, and not even close to how men feel. Youre taking away from Kurt, that he was a man, and believe it or not, a man's man....he was not this feminine creature you all like to create. See, that's a man's primary responsibility, to care for the women and children in your life...it's the most masculine thing you'll ever do, not to defend a woman's indiscretions, though. I won't put words in your mouth, but, it seems like you're giving him praise for publicly defending her numerous indiscretions, while not respecting his true, private experience with her....so. Look forward to whatever you may have to say. God Bless You And Anyone Who May Read This.
How exhausting it must've been to have two sides of your mind constantly battling each other to no end. That on top of relationship issues, past family trauma, drug problems, self destructive thought patterns and pressing controversies within the media, this man needed an escape and peace. Unfortunately he felt as if his escape and peace would never exist in this world. RIP Kurt you will live on in our hearts forever. Touching souls within the riveting music you created alongside Dave and Krist.
@goalidude I agree with what your saying that his mind may have been constantly battling him as he was paradoxical in nature. However, I felt he expressed his feelings into his music, art, and writing. He had decided to leave and divorce CL, who cannot handle people leaving her. This would have affected her status, financial situation, and her career. She put the suicide narrative into the media, which was completely opposite to the stories told by people in his inner circle (Dylan Carson, Buzz Osborne, his band mates, Layne Stanley and others) who stated he was in a good mood and happy (apart from his addiction) and she took him from us. There are too many inconsistencies and there is too circumstantial evidence to suggest his method of death was his choice. I believe he was murdered. Justice for Kurt 🤟♥️

Nirvana had to happen. Something was brewing in the underground and Nirvana were the first band that distilled the angst and anger of an entire generation into perfect songs. Bands like Hüsker Dü, Sonic Youth, The Melvins, Soundgarden, R.E.M. and many, many more had laid the foundation, but Nirvana marked the spot when all of 80s indie / rock converged into something bigger. The jump from "Bleach" to "Nevermind" is astounding. "Bleach" is cool, but still super rough and clearly influenced by other bands from the scene. "Nevermind" is paradoxical in itself: It's aggressive and vulnerable, it's harsh and beautiful. And "In utero" is exactly the album it had to be. It's a giant "fuck you" to the music industry, but still so catchy, even stuff like "Milk it", which is borderline insane. Nirvana meant so much to me when I was a teenager. They were the first band that really got to me.

Don't forget the Pixies, they had laid the foundation too!
They mean world to me. Really bummed he died so young. I was 24 when he died. And look into details,it's very fishy. I do believe he did drugs that day, but had enough drugs in his system he wouldn't be able to hold that gun and shoot from that angle. Someone was there and we'll never know real outcome.

Trauma is what ties us to this guy. He resonates with a lot of people who hurt inside. It sucks to have a hole in your heart, it really does RIP and get to therapy when you can, shit will change your life
No it won’t 😂
@@ikedubois it will. with a therapist that has experienced what you have it could work really well. It did for me!
@@ikedubois it does. As someone who went through sm trauma and bs in my life therapy really saved me and led me to the right path.
I loved Nirvana when I had no idea what they were singing about, my English was quite limited. And it was before you could simply Google lyrics. Something in the sound, the chords, the voice completely overtook me and I got obsessed with Nirvana. I still am obsessed. I haven’t had a major trauma, been very sheltered all my life. Somehow it still resonates with me.

That was the First time i listened to nirvana consciously. As a 7 year old german i had no clue what Kurt was singing about but i was hooked immediately. Then it came back to my mind that this dude is dead and i shed a tear with my mum.
He's an icon for the misunderstood and angry people of the world
Yeah even some rappers like Kurt I love their music and so do people younger than me as well as the older people that is a similar age group as him. I wish I could have gone to a concert of theirs but I was still a little kid back then but clearly remember him on the radio.

Nope.
I’m always in awe of Kurt. Both his bad and good sides. He was one of the last true artists to be able to achieve recognition. I also appreciate that your documentary didn’t blame Courtney. She’s gotten way too much hate for being flawed.
Some people are a-holes, they don’t understand how somebody could that depressed. I think it takes a lack of intellectual capacity to not see that Kurt Cobain was that tormented, it’s like blissful ignorance except these people are normies who can’t comprehend that he was a human being like the rest of us , brainless idiots
Like your sitting there speculating the death of a human being, it’s not just some bobble head . People are ass
flawed? she literally had kurt killed tho. literally all of the evidence puts to her. she also had one of her own band members killed, kristen pfaff. why exactly are u defending a murderer?
I'm in awe of the sheer amount of murder and rape threats he made on that journalist womans answering machine. I mean, he kept at that for MONTHS. That's the dedication you'd only get from a generational icon.

Kurt Cobain and Prince are the two musicians that I literally feel their soul sing when I listen to their music. I don't know any other way to explain it.
I feel the same way about Tupac i know he doesn't sing but when he raps there is this powerful energy about it.... I also dont know how to explain it
Kurt said in an interview that he sings with his voice coming from his stomach, specifically the part where it hurts him because of his illness and he uses that pain to sound more raw, could be why

Kurt is so mf funny John Lennon= "sit on your ass and be beatin" Kurt = "bullshitt find the gluton of oppression and blow his fcking head off " 😂😂 I almost choked on my coffee when heard that shite
I was 16 going on 17 when i heard that he passed. I found out at school and i remember looking out the window of my art class not wanting to believe it. Nirvana was why i started playing music and playing in bands all the way to my 40s. They will always have a place in my heart. Listening to them is like getting in a time machine now days. Even though a frown eventually comes on my face because of what happened in the end. The smile it puts on definitely outweighs the frown. Im so glad i got to come of age with so many great bands. Now im the old guy reminiscing on the good ol days. lol. I wouldn't have it any other way 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I couldn’t help but cry at the end of the video. Kurt and his mentality has always aligned with me and because of him I know I’m not the only person dealing with dark thoughts. Thank you Kurt, for everything. you have saved my life and many others.
I also couldn't stop myself from crying. I usually don't have these thoughts, but I really respect Kurt. He seemed like such a wonderful human, he respected women and other people. You don't see that respect anymore. I didn't even know nirvana that much before this video, maybe like a few songs, but this man has still impacted me. I love his art and creativity, and how his mind works. I wish he didn't go down that path. I wish there could've been something to stop him. But beautiful things never last, unfortunately.
@@hueningiihe was murdered hun. also, i love kurt's music as well but please don't idolize people when you don't even know them personally. u don't know what he did in his private life, so no one knows exactly if he was truly a "good" person or not like u make him out to be.
Not many people can share their pain ,and thoughts so openly ,with others .
As a kid, I couldn't understand how could this guy look like a complete slacker, play just three chords and be amazing all at the same time. Then, I woke up after unplugged. It became completely clear that he was completely calculating and well practiced. He was a hard working genius who hussled until his body was taken over from the drugs.
not just drugs, he struggled with several health problems for years as well, though the drugs didn’t help for sure
@@harrymcdougall7923the stomach problem was mainly just him using it as an out for his heroin addiction

I'm Kurt's age, remember clearly the moment his death was announced on the radio. It was devastating, it felt like an entire era had ended in many ways.

Kurt's death was really the death of my childhood. I graduated high school/turned 18 in 1994. I can't explain how much impact Nirvana and Kurt had on my life. I loved the outlook on life you gave at the end. I often get an angry feeling when I think of Kurt's death and wish he would have continued on past whatever was going on with him at that time. I've dealt with depression all my life, and at times thought of ending it all, but I'm glad I didn't because things have happened in my life that I wouldn't want to not experience.
This was excellent, and the guitar covers were amazing as well!
Damn thats beautifull
Man, I can't say that Kurt's death was my childhood ending(since I haven't even been born at that time).
But mine is very similar to yours, since my fav rock idol was Chester Benington, and he happenned to pass away exactly my final year of highschool when I was 18 (2017).

I love his music and his art. As a former opiate user myself (now in recovery) I fully understand the difficulties of quitting. “Heroin is a way to reach nirvana in five minutes. -- Kurt Cobain --
I saw Nirvana 4 months before Cobain died. It was one of the greatest nights of my life - I was 26 at the time. I even have the first edition of the Book "The Story of Nirvana," written while he was alive. This is a great video that brings up a lot of important points. Learning about how he came up with so little, one can see why he was so unbalanced. I really feel for than man. I had major problems with alcohol, so I can relate to some of his troubles.
Kurt was also the perfect response to people like Tom Cruise - who can act, but I never really dug that guy.

I agree 100%! One of the best docs about Kurt I've ever seen in my life
yesss
Completely violated his plea for the privacy of his diaries, but yeah, other than that this was phenomenally well done, despite the absence of a few major pieces, such as his hereditary predisposition to, and diagnoses of bipolar disorder. As well as completely glossing over the band’s absolutely legendary Unplugged set.
still, this is probably the most well done piece on Cobain that I’ve seen on RUclips.
Little did i know that I was going to be given words of inspiration and hope . Watched the hole video sitting on my toilet while getting my fix and getting well.

Again thankfull for this beautiful documentary and those last words of hope and inspiration I really needed to hear , and I'm pretty sure you touched many hurt souls who are in addiction looking for hope looking for a way to get through this .

one of the most destructive feelings are self hate and self loath. if see someone and think to yourself "that person is worthless" that person feels the same about themselves hundreds of times more and believe me, when you feel like that, you don't know how NOT to feel like it. it's not as easy as someone saying "don't hate yourself you're fine and great and blah blah" you have to show them the love with care and passion, with your actions not just words. just please don't abandon them
you'll regret it

Thank you for such a superb and genuinely well-researched doc on one of my teenage icons. The fact that chronic stomach pain was a big reason for his heroin addiction, the correct portrayal of Courtney (that she was already successful independent of Kurt and that he found her intelligent and bold, which he admired), his paradoxical view of life. I’ve read all the books/biographies and seen all the docs and truly dude, excellent work.
i still come back to this documentary, it’s made with so much love and thoughtfulness
I hope you realize how fucking awesome the content you create is. In a world full of absolute garbage being pumped out everywhere you turn, I frequently watch videos of yours on people that I had absolutely zero interest in going into it. The way you tell the stories of these peoples lives is so inspiring and genuine that every time I end up coming out of it with an entirely new level of respect and interest in the subject of the video that I would have before just dismissed as another random famous person before. What you’ve done, and continue to do here is truly special.
100% correct sir
I concurr.
Thank you for not undercutting Courtney Love’s impact on Kurt. I think people tend to skip over the way she impacted his life and artistry just because of personal bias, but you’re exactly right; they made each other better artists, even if they weren’t good for each other in other ways. For the record, I don’t believe that she had any direct involvement with his death. He wanted to die, and sadly, succeeded.
I hate that he never got the help he needed because he deserved better from life. I hope that his sensitive soul is at peace, and that he can feel the genuine love that so many people have for him, in some way.

The way you interpreted Cobain’s death is why I keep going back to this video. Really powerful stuff, despite me being born after all these events.
One thing that baffles me to this day, is that there were two people actually present in the house. Courtney asked them to stay there in case he showed up, which he did and they heard him come in, but they were too high on H to move out of the room they were in. If they weren't high, they may have been able to prevent his death. Crazy
I remember back when it happened, I was convinced that She had something to do with it..
No 9ne cared enough. Mark lanegan searched house with peole hours after kurt died amd skipped green house
Pretty typical addict behavior. I say this as someone who’s had on and off addiction issues. I’ve always been baffled how my addict friends tend to lose all connection to their conscience when they start using. I never went quite full junky myself tho. More of an alcohol guy, tho have used opiates heavily.
Loved this video! A balanced and researched video that didn’t just paint cobain as a brooding, depressed icon. Rather as a real person who had a range of emotions and was wresting with life.

i think this is the most beautiful documentary i’ve ever seen on kurt cobain. everything from the music to the photos/clips used was so well done
I was 10 years old when he died, at that time I was just getting into music and learning guitar, I had shirts, posters, Nirvana was everything to me at that age. When the day came and the news broke, I was shattered... I remember crying and feeling like I lost a friend. I'm 40 now and I still think about his music and his legacy, what could have been if he been able to get the help he needed.
I'm not from Aberdeen but I am from the peninsula, the surrounding region. It's scary and sad how many lives the people I grew up with reflects Kurt's early life. As Soulr mentioned earlier, the internet has changed our part of the world as much as any other, but it's become our drug of choice to combat the isolation. It's crazy how a place can be so beautiful and yet so isolated and economically depressed
I used to live about 20ish minutes away from Aberdeen and completely understand. Its sort of the same with my brother and I, but we found different ways to cope, via friends and sports. The first half of this video felt oddly personal.
I lived on the Long Beach Peninsula briefly. A little farther from Aberdeen but not much. I've lived in every part of the US, but that area was by far the most crushingly depressing I've ever been. Other than big city northeast in the winter.

I lived in tacoma for a year and Washington was the most depressing lonely place I’ve ever lived.
I’m a huge nirvana fan and this is the best documentary I have seen on Kurt. The information is accurate and it really captured the struggles Kurt had at the end of his life. Lots of people think Courtney killed him, but if you look at everything happening, it’s clear she didn’t. His drug addiction was taking over, he no longer found joy playing music (it became a chore), the band was about to dissolve, his marriage was on the rocks and he felt like a shitty father. I think just about anyone would be suicidal at that point. It’s so sad the only thing left of him is his music 😢 I’ve never related to anyone more than him. Reading his journals was like reading my own thoughts!
Finally! Someone with common sense! I feel so bad for both Courtney and Francis. Imagine how it would feel, losing you're beloved husband in such a traumatic and devestating way, only to be blamed of murdering him? Then, also imagine being the child of this couple, and people blaming your mother of committing a horrific crime that you know, FOR A FACT, she did not commit. That would make your loss so much worse, by a hundred-fold!
People really need to understand how damaging these baseless accusations really are to Kurt's friends and family - ESPECIALLY his daughter.
Not entirely, accurate. Courtneys Mum did not report him as missing, it was Courtney, and she was not frantic and called the ambulance in Rome, she waited 2 hours before she called them. I loved this documentary and it is one of the best biopics that captured Kurts personality and his struggles from different sides, which is amazing. The end message is absoutely beautiful and I wish he had of found the inspiration to get himself out of his addictions and through this period of debilitating deprssion. However, I am not one hundred per cent entirely convinced that his death was suicide, and that part of this documentary was one sided. There are too many inconsistences surrounding the circumstances of his death that don't add up. Fishy stuff.
@@kirstymedcalf4115 yea, theres just too many, wayyyy too many suspicious things surrounding Kurts death to believe he was by himself when he died.
No there’s a lot of false information Courtney filed the MP report under kurts moms name, when asked she said bc no one would take her serious. A possibility why he fled rehab was that Courtney tried to call and see if he was at that particular location 13 times and the facility would give no info, I believe Kurt was running from something. The note is obvious forgery and Courtney’s lawyer found a backpack of hers with her handwriting practice of kurts. He was going to divorce HER, he got her signed to his record label which would go away and his millions would go away for her. She was jealous of his relationship with the new bassist of hole Kristen pfaff who died under mysterious circumstances just a couple months after Kurt and around the hole members who were the last to see Kurt. It’s almost clear that it’s a botched suicide ruling as it was made in 3 hours when normally it would have a 2 day minimum investigation. It’s silly to ignore the thousands of coincidences.
If she didn't kill him, she at the very least encouraged it to happen.
Having a child while being in such a destructive suicidal state with addiction problems and perpetual emotional baggage will never not be strange personally. But I'm glad the daughter grew up well.
Yea it’s a very very bad decision.
Dude, I know my comment is late and you won't prob notice it but your selection of the band Kryzys for the background music moved me. Both Nirvana and Kryzys - bands that displayed a sense of unique sound and melancholy to me when I discovered them in the same year. You put the exact Kryzys songs on the exact moments and emotions of the video as I had organised them in my head! |Thank you!
There was a real relatable aspect to Cobain, especially if you look at stars before or since. If you were a teen at that time, you really felt the music and that hey, here is a star just like us. He was a huge factor in my generation playing guitar, as unlike the virtuoso playing of the 80s, this was attainable playing, and tons of teens learned because of them.
If anything, I always describe the 90s as the decade in music where being really, really different still could mean you would be successful. I can't imagine any other time where bands as diverse as soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, beck and soul coughing were getting regular play on MTV and radio. And nirvana were a big part in getting huge exposure to a pile of bands, many on very small record labels.
And because the artists were so diverse, and getting exposure, you ended up with a ton of teens and young adults who had wide interests in music... a fella could go on about this. It was a unique seven or eight years in music from 91-98 or so.
You're reference to a " pile of bands " is quite telling ,as a few of these bands , sounded like a pile ! I don't know how they " slipped in" with the great ones ,but someone must have left the door open !
I belive Kurt was an introspective person who had a great inner world, which is probably why he was so creative and a perfectionist. Drugs distorted that world and that makes me very sad.
Finding people with an open mind and vision of themselves is not so common, and I think it is a very good quality to make art and make meaninful connections with others.
I really like your documentary. Great content and message. Thank you for your work! :)
That was fantastic, thank you!! As a generation x’er I lived to experience the beginning of Nirvana and mourned it’s demise. The world lost a beautiful, sensitive and gentle soul when Kurt died. It was a real tragedy. Thankfully, Kurt lives on through his music and through people like you who devote the time to make these documentaries. The 80s and 90s were an amazing time for music and Nirvana was at the top of the music revolution. They forever changed the trajectory by removing the glam rock hair bands and replacing them with a realness that could only be felt at the time. Kurt was who we looked to to feel normal in a world where a lot of us felt we didn’t fit in. What scares me is that we’ve lost so many incredible musicians and artists from my generation way too soon. We need to bubble wrap Dave Grohl and Eddie Vedder…keep them safe.

What an amazing comment, giving us insights about back in the day. I would add Tupac Shakur to the list of artists that left us way too early.

pre-internet section of the video was an incredible compilation to really remind us of the era and what was going on!! great work
That was back in the days when people wrote letters ,and your phone was attached to the wall !
This actually made cry, especially at the end. Nirvana is one of the bands that changed my view on music, and I listen to them almost everyday now. I currently have anxiety and don't have much friends. But when I put on bands like Queen and Nirvana, it feels like heaven. I know my life is still a long way to go. I want to bypass all this and be free from this. After watching this, I know more about Kurt's struggles. This is way I will stay clear of drugs because it took away many legends that died too soon. I hope when I'm on my death bed with my kids and wife beside me, I can take one final breath and remember all that music has done to get me through life and all the memories good or bad.
RIP Kurt Kobain.

Brother i teared up also when he said " if your watching this video you've obviously found a reason to live" and the fact is , No i haven't . Iv promised myself that i will not harm myself while my mother whom i am her carer is still alive as she needs me. Past that her passing i can deal with. But the endless hopelessness . loneliness future homelessness and despair i see little to overcome
I never really had any interest until I was an adult even after hearing their songs a billion times but him and I both had a pretty fucked up past so I also relate to him. I hope you can find the peace in your life you deserve it.

I just realised Cobain was only a year older than me when he died, and he achieved that much
And he also lost it all
Sadly yes… but what did did before his demise changed music and the world and he will be loved and remembered forever by millions of people.
He achieved so much but his soul was tired, his legacy is a reminder to take care of ourselves especially when we can give so much through our gifts and love. Think of it as you get to translate his legacy in a different way. Future generations need encouragement and understanding
I am thirty seven now. When Kurt's story ended, I was but an eight year old boy. I started learning guitar when I was 14. I have been playing Nirvana songs for 23 years. It is entirely possible that I have been playing them longer than he had. I think he wanted to teach us to play music, no matter where we were at in life. The songs sound so simple, but there's so much depth and nuance behind the riffage. It gives me hope when I find folks who weren't around in his lifetime learning and sharing about what he was about. Thanks for making this video.
This is so well-done. Thank you for taking the time to make a beautiful piece on Kurt. Rare gem.
I love your videos man. Watched this before it got taken down the first time and i loved it. This is a Netflix/Hulu level documentary. Seeing you grow over the years as been a blessing. Keep this shit up!🖤
ruclips.net/video/kWC8oH1cg-4/видео.html
Hearing Kurt talk about his stomach issues and hearing his experiences with being put on hard prescription as a kid is wild having dealt with and still deal with the same things. I knew I’d relate to him the same way many of his fans relate to his struggles with mental illness but those two things have had massive impacts on my life and health and while common aren’t quite as common
With all due respect to Kurt, there’s nothing quite like H to make your stomach feel awful. I can definitely dull pain, but its way of making one puke and be constipated is pretty rough.
No one who is a celebrity became a celebrity "by accident". 4 minutes and 30 seconds into this documentary and I love how you are highlighting the hypocrisies and contradictions of Kurt Cobain, and how he talked out of both sides of his mouth.
Would you explain ? Why hypocrisy?
@@andreamdnKurt acted like he didn't care about stardom but was shown to be bent on selling to millions.
100% agree
He was an hypocrite, he was a heroin addict and was too weak minded to dig himself out of the hole he had dug for himself, abandoning his baby daughter in the process without any thought to her state of mind growing up without a father, he’s not someone to be admired
He knew how to sell himself for sure
I’ve seen just about all Kurt Cobain documentary’s, and this one was extremely well made - the closing remarks were super powerful; thanks bro !
It’s currently 2am and I was contemplating undoing my life 2day. But you enflamed a fire in me. Thank you
The message at the end of the video really got to me. We're all alone together. Sending you a huge, supportive hug. Glad you've found the spark to keep going pal & if you just need to vent to a stranger, I'm all ears
I really hope you're doing okay and that you still have that fire.
Don't do it man. I used to be suicidal myself. If you die, no more chances to make shit good (plus it's an overwhelming experience). If you survive it, the forced "help" that will result can often be worse than whatever you were trying to escape to begin with.
Not worth it either way.
Keep going
I don't know if you are still around. When I get like that I try to help others so I don't focus on me. Not in a wanting to be praised way, sometimes its just making dinner for my friends. But I make sure there is always a book I want to read, a concert I want to go to. And if nothing else works, grab a bottle of Jameson's and turn the music up loud and sing along. It gives me something to look forward to, something to change how I feel this very minute. Cos if I'm going out I'm doing whatever the hell it is I want to anyway regardless of laws and other people's morals, this isn't their life to live. And after awhile that weight on your chest eases up a bit. You might not 2wnt to be here, and were dragged kicking and screaming to get to this point, but you are here so you might as well enjoy something out of it. Maybe buy a pet.
Kurt will always hold a special place in my heart as I thank him so much for sweeping all the posers under the carpet and making authentic music and art at that time a main focus again...his melodic sense was pure natural genius whether he knew it or not and took great care in creating it.he never wrote a bad song in my opinion...I miss him being on this planet every day
The most important artist of my childhood. Now I know why. His story is almost exactly my story. I had a spiritual connection to him I felt but didn't know completely why...it devastated me when he died. I was 12. I remember exactly where I was standing.
Thank you for this beautiful biographic video essay.
Kurt died a month before I was born so I only remember hearing his music on the radio and then later in my early 20s when I was struggling with finding myself and navigating the world on my own I listened to his music religiously and read Heavier than Heaven. Kurt and Nirvana was and is a huge inspiration in my life and art.
Life can be hard but without the hard parts we can't appreciate the good parts! ❤ If you're struggling, hang in there and something good will happen!
Wasn’t planning on watching till the end bc of the length of the video but once I started watching it I was immediately pulled in and knew it was gonna be good. Amazing quality. Such a beautifully made documentary and everything was put together so well. Thank you for this.
Dang, what? You don't have an attention span? Tik tok is killing people's attention spans
i didnt myself. i was at luch at work and started watching needless to say i took a long lunch
This is just perfection. The video editing was fantastic and it made me think about drugs and suicide like i never did. Thanks for making this video, thanks kurt for letting us take such a perfect example of rock star and at the same time a second life as a suicidal and drug abusing person
Generation X
Very much a lost generation between boomers and millennials.
I graduated high school as the Seattle scene popped and took over.
I was only 5 years younger than Kurt and yet he felt like he was aged for beyond his years.
So many musicians of my era have died to drugs or depression, but as you said, they all left a lasting mark on millions of lives.
I will forever be indebted to these people who gave me a voice, when I was afraid to have one, or thought I didn’t deserve one.
You have to ready to fight, for your life sometimes because life will never take a day off.
Even now, as I fight cancer I find comfort in the words and melodies of my youth and they gave me strength to keep fighting.
I wish it did the same for them.
You got this. I believe in you 🤗 Keep me in the loop
I feel like both Kurt and Tupac were the voices of Generation X for sure
Honestly to the person who made this video this message is for you “Thank you so much for making this video I literally cannot stop watching it and it had me in tears every time yes sad tears but dude I never felt so emotionally changed after documentaries until this one this is a true master piece of art in my eyes just outstanding editing and I can tell you did your heavy heavy research like I can tell hard work was put into this I always loved Nirvana but hated them at one point because idk but I got my love for them resparked a while ago and seeing this video has moved me in such a way I can’t describe thank you”
As someone who has spent way too much time watching documentaries of Kurt online, this one is by far the best I have ever seen. You approached this beautifully. The way in which you examined Kurt's life from beginning to end and made logical assumptions on the effects of major life events (such as parents' divorce, a few breakups with long term girlfriends, the desire to be the greatest band in the world, etc...) while ultimately understanding that we can never know what Kurt was TRULY experiencing, as is the case for all humans, was superb.
Many documentaries tend to overplay Kurt's drug addiction and Courtney's negative influence on him while underplaying the trauma of his parent's divorce and the pressures of being the frontman of the most famous band on the planet who GENUINELY WANTED TO BE FAMOUS until he achieved it and realized that the responsibility entailed was much more than he ever could have imagined but he he could never go back. You navigated these areas very well.
As mentioned before, I appreciate the emphasis you placed on his parent's divorce. As we see in the psychological literature, divorce has life-long negative effects on children and this certainly had a massive impact on Kurt's life. Facts such as Kurt living in 10 homes in the span of roughly four years after leaving his Dad's place and frequently skipping class and hanging with delinquents in high school emphasized this.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this documentary is that you did what almost NO OTHER DOCUMENTARY HAS DONE: delve into the REALITY of Kurt Cobain rather than the icon he presented to the world. Using various journal entries and certain interviews as evidence, you revealed that Kurt was not as apathetic about fame as he often claimed to be. Kurt DID want to be the most successful band on the planet. This is evident in the fact that after Bleach sold over 40,000 copies with an indie label, he was not satisfied. He wanted his music so sell more. Also by the fact that if he did not see Nirvana on MTV after a certain amount of time, he became upset as he believed people should see his music more. This is hardly ever mentioned in documentaries on Kurt, but you brought them in and it changed the entire piece. It shows that Kurt was much more complex than he is often portrayed (and that is saying something because he is already portrayed as one of the most complex artists of all time) and he had motivations that many of his die-hard fans would be made uneasy to find out.
I also appreciated the focus on Kurt's non-musical art. This is also rarely mentioned in other documentaries, or at least not in the way that it was here. When we observe his painting and doodles, we can see that raw pain that we experience sonically in his music visually through images. It adds a deeper layer into the suffering that was so central to Kurts experience of life and his artistic expression.
The clips and soundtrack for this piece were incredible. You chose clips that accurately highlighted the given aspect of Kurt's life that was explained and there was not a single clip that felt out of place. I appreciated that besides brief clips of from concerts, you did not use any original nirvana songs. Instead you mainly used Nirvana covers by Justice Der which were unlike anything I have ever heard and set the tone for the entire doc.
I do wish you included some snippets from the "blank on blank" interview in which Kurt talked about the divorce and its its negative effects on him (I believe he said something along the lines of "everything was going great in life until the divorce") as well as his chronic stomach pain as I believe it would have added tremendous value to the doc
Overall this was a masterpiece. It is better done than some Netflix documentaries. THANK YOU!
From now on when someone asks me what is the best documentary on Kurt Cobain, THIS IS IT!
Agree
Agreed 2👍
whole heartedly agree with you. I will always recommend this one.
you really went hard on this comment. whatever is that you are searching for, i hope you find it.
i so so so agree w u man . im so glad this was my first kurt cobain documentary ever in my life
As a 44 year old, the most interesting part was listening to you describe how we used to procure music... I did definitely trade in my Christmas CDs, but the first one I ever got was Aerosmith. My brother got Nirvana, and we used to share Cds. The struggle was real. I really enjoyed your documentary. Thanks!
This is hands down one of the best, most informative, and artistic videos on the platform. Thank you so much for telling Kurt’s story in such a compelling and evocative manner, definitely will be watching more times… The ending was really beautiful.
It was a very informative video, I haven't gotten to the end yet
Just finished
As someone who only had an extremely surface level understanding of Kurt prior to this video, I thought it was beautifully thorough and respectful. The most special part for me was your message of hope at the end. I (as many other viewers I assume) resonated deeply with Kurt's depression and suicidal thoughts, so that ending message was very thoughtful and important. I hope Kurt has found peace, along with Courtney, Frances, his friends, and family.
I was a young teen at that time, now on a bit of a nostalgia kick the last few days. I can still remember the exact moment of first hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit on the radio while stuck in traffic like my first kiss or first hit of weed. Only 8 minutes in I can already tell this is going to be the best video I've seen thus far on the subject. You can really explain how life was back then to a younger generation. Bravo, man.
this whole thing was phenomenal . i wasn’t expecting to cry but i did 😭 good job soulr and thank u :)
I believe that Kurt's constant state of duality may be due to his untreated bipolar disorder. I have bipolar 1 disorder and I feel like my beliefs and opinions are almost entirely dependent on what my current mood is. Kurt's addiction is also most likely due to bipolar disorder. Around two out of three people who have bipolar disorder also develop a drug addiction. One out of five people with bipolar disorder die by suicide and almost half will try. Untreated bipolar is no joke. I think that Kurt's life is a textbook example of how untreated bipolar disorder can damage someone's life
What the hell that’s wild
as someone with bipolar 2 you’re right my beliefs flip so much according to my moods that sometimes i feel like a walking contradiction which can lead to me being depressed and confused this video hit home. being bipolar is not a joke fr
I agree w you on all these points. I've often wondered if mental health had been more like it is today (open) if Kurt would have had more of a fighting chance. We will never know ❤
It's all in your head man
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised by this at all. My grandma was also bipolar and I see many parallels here. Some days were very difficult, but other days she was the best person in the world. She also developed a strong addiction on sleeping pills, anti-depressants and other medication (LOTS of other medication). And in the end she unfortunately also took her own life on one of the "bad" days.
RIP grandma, I miss you.
56:45 is in my opinion the most spot on thing when it comes to his suicide. Once again in my opinion, this is exactly what Kurt was going through and no doubt led to his suicide. The mind is a dangerous place, try to stay out of it.
No staying out of it is what causes the pain u gotta conquer your mind once u find ur trueself u are truly unstoppable
But if you're out of your mind, isn't that called craziness?

Such an incredible documentary, normally I'm into hip hop but this really made me want to explore nirvana and more grunge music as a whole. Nice job!
You should. I definitely recommend going through many different styles of music. Such as roots reggae, Dub, Punk, downtempo, trip hop. There's a ton of great styles out there.
Talented journalism here, folks. This guy has done his research and has a refined and poignant portrait of Kurt. Very impressed. Oh..and thank you for your work.
I think the reason Kurt had different view points is his bi polar disorder. You change your mind and perspective a lot on your past present and future with severe mood changes. It’s a rollercoaster ride of emotions, memories and sensations
I can relate and agree.
Isn’t that more like borderline ?
Kurt worked the media. We really have no idea about his personal life those last year's. I think Kurt realized how much losing your anonymity sucks. So he regained anonymity. He didn't kill himself and he wasn't murdered
@@tacocatseven yes i have borderline and i def contradict myself a lot. constant mood swings and lack of identity will do that to ya
I have been a fan since his death in 1994. I have obsessively researched Kurt and his life. I have even talk to someone who knew him. In all of that, there is little to no evidence that Kurt ever had a manic episode. The bipolar myth is just to fit the tortured artist. Based on everything I have researched, he was depressive. I also believe he may have suffered with borderline personality disorder. His mood swings were to fast and often. They lasted minutes to days. I also believe he also had CPTSD. (I actually believe BPD and CPTSD are the same thing) I'm not a doctor but I do have a lot of personal experience with these symptoms. I wish he had the strength to stay but unfortunately, the illness won. 😔
What a crazy good documentary. Nirvana was and still is always a part of so many of us. ❤ Rest Easy Kurt
Nirvana and Kurt really influenced me in my teens and that for life. I live in a monastery now studying the ancient texts of India and practising meditation. Your documentary is indeed one of the best on Kurt I have seen and I have resonated with many things you have said. Especially I like your observation of how Kurt lived at times where there was no social media and your choice of records you could hear was very limited. Part of me is missing that world and I feel alien in the present time of technological overdose. You have very nicely highlighted the fact that Kurt was full of contradictions. By analysing Kurt we get to realize a little about ourselves and the times we live in as well. Good luck with your work I have seen many other of your docs and they are all very interesting and nicely philosophical which is amazing.
You know a documentary is great when you can rewatch it several times and it’s still awesome.
the conclusion of this video is so comforting. Im also struggling with addiction and depression and despite being a mostly melancholic and sad documentary it brought me hope in the end. Thank you
I was 20 in my parent's kitchen listening to one of the local radio rock stations when one of the DJs announced he was gone...I still miss him and wonder what things would be like if he had been able to keep going. Incesticide is still my favourite Nirvana album, hands down.
This is the best Nirvana documentary ever made. Well done!
Wow man, you are extremely in tune with your perspective, and this video really hit me in so many ways.
I, myself, am a musician, or at least I was a musician, I’m 36, have an addiction to opiates, I’m currently sitting at the end of my bed, with tears in my eyes, after what I just experienced…..that really spoke to me, thank you for that.
Hey brother, I wish you the best and hope you can find that something that you need outside of substance, from the sounds of it you don’t even need to be told but there’s more to life then any drug can show you, I hope this doesn’t come across as pretentious, I’m in a similar boat to you and I wish genuine love and happiness for you, anyway enough rambling, have a mad day/night and peace

Please know there IS help.
There's a better way. A better life.
@@Dead_Again1313Suboxone saved my life. Five years free from the grips of heroin
Kurt’s music has kept people alive, something he could not achieve by himself. I think he knew that what he left behind was going to be the best version of himself, in his music.
30 years ago today , we will miss you for an eternity Kurt.
