- On the road to Aberdeen I stopped by a small town for a chat with Gary Cobain, the uncle of the legendary Nirvana frontman, Kurt Cobain. In the video we discuss Kurt’s upbringing, his musical influences, and the relationship with Francis Bean and Courtney Love.
This is the guy that gave Kurt his first guitar and got the ball rolling.
I believe his Uncle Chuck actually gave him his first...
@Jay Deno someone else said it
He aunt Mary have him he's first guitar and drum kit
@@maxinemizon1655 Coming back to all these likes after a year. I saw the notification on what it said and didn’t even need to see the main comment thread to know it was about Kurt. Imagine where he would be today had he not overdosed.
@@mysterious6856 he didnt overdose he shot himself
Such a shame that, courtney, who only knew kurt for 2 years gets all his royalties while his family who raised him lives in trailers.
For sure
That sucks
It’s so twisted
Courtney knew Kurt 3 years and half only. Not even 5 it was.
AmericanSpyFox Gaming Courtney is disgusting too me
For sure. No doubt kurt would jave helped his family out as he got older.
Grandma take me home🎶
I was just thinking that! Like is that “Grandpa Joe’s”?
maybe you wanna say.. Uncle take me home! Wanna be alone!🎼
Gravitating gnome
@@bderrick4944 smashing pumpkins no
I found myself judging uncle Gary. Then I realized. Uncle Gary was in the service in the 70’s.........He’s seen some shit.
Basically looks like Kurt if he never died grew old and grew the Goatee out. Resemblance is crazy
Yeeaaaahhh, I dont see it
@@eLiFILMSinc it's a Kurt Cobain video, I guess you're one of the assholes that always have to try to piss people off in the comments. The keyword is try.
I agree, he does look like an old Kurt. Very cool dude.
Actually itd be the other way around. K. Cobain would get the looks from his uncle. Just t like parents don't get their looks from their kids.
To be technical, you're right. But you knew what I meant. I thought about it while I was commenting and was like screw it, no one will say anything. I was wrong. It's the technical RUclips comment section, should have known to count on that.
I swear that Kurt's Grandparents house should be protected by the historical society. That's amazing that his uncle opened up to you and allowed all of us insight into Kurt's childhood stomping grounds, shared memories, and shared information that most fans never knew. I didn't know that he was actually right handed. I always assumed he was left-handedbecause of the way he played guitar. But it makes sense, my daughter is Left-Handed and plays guitar right-handed. She, like Kurt, is very artistic, and it seems that artists tend to be ambidextrous.
Thank you for sharing that Adam! Gary was an awesome guy to hang out with. I hope your daughter keeps up the guitar playing and takes the stage by storm like Kurt did!
@@SCOTTONTAPE Thank you Scott! It truly was a great insight into Kurt's childhood. I like how he joked about him playing left handed because he broke his arm while babysitting. I hope my daughter keeps it up too! Most parents brag about their children, but my daughter truly is talented. Like I said, she is left handed, but ambidextrous. She is a phenomenal artist, and very creative with sculpting. She's especially talented when it comes to portraits. She drew a Asking Alexander taken by the bands photographer (Sanjay) and he noticed it on Instagram. This was her first attempt on a tablet/digital drawing, five portraits. When they came to Nashville with Black Veil Brides, Sanjay reached out to her, and took us backstage to meet the entire band. She gave him a copy of her drawing and he seemed to be truly excited and grateful. He actually had her draw several other photos of his in exchange for unreleased photos autographed. Sweet deal for her. Luckily, she has good taste in music, (Nashville life) and is starting to shred on her guitar. Hopefully she can be a successful musician one day, that is one of her dreams. Like I said, most people brag on their children when there is nothing there. I would be the first to admit it if she was a paint chip eating idiot who banged her head up against the wall for fun, but I was blessed with a kick ass kid who is more like me than her mother. She truly isn't afraid to be herself and commit to the things she is passionate about. Sorry for the long response. Just wanted to paint a mental image for you.
Adam B that’s so awesome and what a great story. Your daughter is so lucky to have such a supportive father. And to grow up in Nashville! I was just there last week for the second time in a year and man do I love that town! Tell your daughter to keep on shreddin!
I think it should have some form of relevance but historical society? That's a little bit of a stretch.
@@michaelsuder3956 if Graceland is protected, so should Kurt's childhood homes. Same iconic status, just different genres and generations.
It seems like he really cared for Kurt. How sad...see this is what the public doesn't realize. There was an Uncle, parents, grandparents, maybe siblings that were heartbroken that day. That is the point your video brought home. Courtney Love and the fame was just his public life. The real story is Kurt had family just like all of us. And we need to stop putting these stars pedestals.
none of his family ever came to his aid when he was in n out of hospitals, for so-called overdoses that I dont think were overdoses. He was with that female person at the time. 11-3-21
Exactly-at the end of the day-we are all just human beings trying to get through life.Fame is just window dressing,there is a real person behind that facade.✌️
Kurt's uncle Gary is a good guy taking time to talk to you. Thanks for the video Kurt's music brings back memories when I was 24, Im52now still love the group.
shut up fame chaser
Lisa Parsons : Great hard rock music . Absolutely timeless . In the summer , I will pump out Nirvana music at the quarry . There's no age that doesn't love that music .
Lisa Parsons you look 24 though
I didn't know he got a scholarship to go to an art school. Imagine if he had taken that route. There would have been no Nirvana. Gone to soon .. interesting he wanted to play the drums. I thought his aunt Mary bought him a guitar. She genuinely loved Kurt. Evidently he never had a lesson playing the guitar. He played by ear.. miss him.
It seems like every trailer I've ever been in has a small dog that won't stop barking.
Tommy Shannon facts
Dude your comment is one of the funniest fucking things I've ever read and so true, it's hurts... 😭😂😭😂😭😂🤣🤣🤣
youre right.plus they people were always obese that had chihawas
Tommy Shannon that's mine 😂
😂
uncle gary seems like a cool weirdo.
also he reminds me of johnny rotten.
@@kanakamayooran yeah in his eyes. That super wide eyed look.
Some random guy you don't know shows up to your house to film and ask you questions like Kurt this Kurt that that being his goal and he even let him in so what's fucking weird about it
It's weird that he let him in because of Kurt
zvonimir lokas he just had a weird zany 👀 eyed look on his face. That’s all bro..
It’s amazing how the looks, artistic flair, and certain mannerisms run in the family. I swear Uncle Gary’s laugh is just like Kurt’s.
Crossing paths with him, you'd never guess he was the Uncle of one of the most influential rock gods of this century. Such a humble, down to earth gent. Very glad that he was willing to share his family with all of us. Thank you for making this happen, Scott
Last century
to be fair, Kurt was quite humble too.
Wow that house is like a time capsule
Bro that is literally THE Grandpa Joes house
the guy in the video is his uncle
@@whatever-kx6ji yes but it was kurts grandpa's house.
Cougars & Tigers yea, he couldn’t chew his meat to well
panic! at phans crestmont and where he had ice cream, fell asleep, and watched tv
@@lazyclover and he woke up in his mothers arms too
You can tell he is still suffering from the whole event. That was kind of him to talk to you and share those memories of Kurt.
This is such a cool interview! Gary seems like he's literally reached a state of nirvana
Kurt looked like his Uncle Gary
crazy eyes
The whole family seems so talented and artistic
Runs in the family
SCOTT ON TAPE I find it interesting that his family isn’t out their using his name to promote their art. I think maybe his whole family had the attitude “I’ll do on my own” mindset WHEREAS Courtney Love started immediately and STILL uses Kurts name to promote her shit or stay relevant. You did really well on this btw love it!
Irish?? lolol That's the difference you see with us British folks..we come from an ancient land where the vast amounts of us have Celtic blood..but if that Welsh,Scottish or Irish blood is more than one generation ..we don't call ourselves ' Irish' ..You guys are Americans..doesn't matter where your grandparents are from ,born in the US = American !
@@sophiew1967 ok Sophie. Whatever you say Sophie. Sacred land Sophie. Speaking for Irish Americans without understanding the history Sophie. Nobody asked you sophie.
@@sophiew1967 american isnt an ethnicity its a nationality….idgaf if your comment is from 2 years ago but im telling you white people in america are descendants of various europeans they didnt spring there out of nowhere and ignoring that erases the history of colonization in the usa and what the native american tribes went through. i hope you learn to worry about your own country instead of dictating to americans how they should identify…it literally hurts no one if some american person feels connected to their ancestors from “the old world”
I was never a Nirvana fan. However Uncle Gary, what a lovely man, humble and happy with his life and surroundings. Money and fame are not everything. In fact it can be very destructive, as we see time and time again.
This guy's seen things man.
He’s lived quite a life so far
Dr. Zoidberg he was in the military, he’s definitely seen some shit
Lol 😂
@@SCOTTONTAPE I feel bad for Kurt's family especially knowing that the wife had Kurt killed fucked up man just fucked up
Super cool segment. We got a brief glimpse of Kurt’s family and life growing up. Grateful to Gary for opening up his home to us. Thanks, Gary. RIP Kurt. You are so missed by so many.
yeah man he has his eye's bigtime. thats what i was think. he acts like him too. he's got a rock star personality.
Ben _Jamin 100%
@@realboltfan totally thats what he would look like if he grew older. There exactly the same.
@@ben_jamin160 it's almost creepy
had Kurt lived, he mightved looked a lot like his uncleGary. has that same Cobain Stare and even the way he holds his cigarette
except this guy is like 65.
@@johnnynbk No way! Kurt was way better looking. Gary is much older than Kurt would be..
@@MegKampen when said like that noone could have a look a like ..... he didnt say Kurt would be the same age as him. He said their similar . Which is obviously going to be a fact considering its his uncle
@@MegKampen who the fuck makes a comment like this, as if Kurt would've cared lol
You can really see the family resemblance. What a great guy to invite you in for a chat. Awesome photos and family memorabilia. I'm just blown away by your entire Cobain series of vlogs. Most excellent!
The way he walks and puts the hand in the forehead, it looks like Kurt a lot. Also the same bad posture.
Yeah, he has - really bad posture, not sure if he sits and drinks pennyroyal tea.
@@makemarker lol
I have very bad posture
Sit and drink pennyroyal teaaaaaaa
As a teenager i loved kurts music and as an adult with children i feel so sad when a happy child loses his happines : (
Yea, imagine how it feels to watch your dad raise a whole other family, without understanding relationships/divorce. Ouch.💔💔
I can understand how n why Kurt changed after his parents divorced. It makes a big hole in a child's life when they cant be around their parents. My father was never around me as a child n Im a woman, Im 60 y/o now n i still feel a big hole in my life that will never be filled. 11-3-21
Yea all the money Kurt did not receive while he wAs alive Courtney should of taken care of his Fav uncle gary...What a shame..
She’s trash. She will pay.
Very blue eyes... he does resemble Kurt a lot. Very casual genuine interview, Kurt would've love that. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching !
I felt sorry for him..you can tell he was proud of Kurt with all the art work & photos
such a badasss guy. salt of the earth guy. 20 dudes like this in my family that's why we all identify with Kurt he was truly the spokesman of our generation
Wow 😮 his Uncle seemed like a down to earth guy! What a awesome opportunity for you! Glad you had a great time. Loved all his pictures and his little doggy🐶 safe travels my friend!😌
I could imagine Kurt looking just like this if he had lived to old age.
What a really good Guy Uncle Gary seems to be. How neat is it that he invites Kurt Followers into his home to chat about his nephew in better days. Thanks again for taking the time to do this great video. I’m off to watch another.
Brilliant video and very emotional, thank you Scott my friend.
That was awesome man! So sad about Kurt,I'm a fan too,great video
Scott thank you for this video! Because of your awesome channel I had the balls to just knock on his door and say hello Gary was one of the nicest guys ever! Super humble and so inviting to my wife and I. Thank you Gary and thank you Scott.
So glad you got to meet him !
Wow, how cool was that!! You def can see the resemblance. You are coming up with some amazing content on this trip, I love it!!
Kurt had his uncles crazy eyes at times, Lol, makes me smile to see his uncle. Would be awesome to meet them oneday 😊
OMG the resemblance was freaky at times! Seems like a cool dude! Thanks, uncle Gary! And thanks to you Scott! This whole Kurt series was top notch! Much love from Detroit!💙
Awesome Video! Kurt Cobain sitting on Same couch in the picture that's still there is Really Cool ! Kurt Cobain definitely will always be remembered and listened to.
Thank you so much for watching Jamie!✌🏽✌🏽
Wow that’s a cool video his uncle must really cared about Kurt to keep all his memorabilia and photos on display
This was very interesting! That was nice of Gary to let a stranger into his home and show you around... I liked seeing all the pictures.
It was an awesome experience!
Uncle Gary seems like a really nice guy. I'm very thankful to him for sharing for the video. Also that house is so cute and cozy. Makes me want to buy a little house like that.
Right? It’s a great little space tucked away in a nice area
Rebecca Spratling it’s a mobile home
Alot of artistic talent running through that family !! Look at those colorful pics, super cool!!
It was surreal being there !
Wow Scott! This is so great! I’m so happy for you
How cool is it the grandpa, uncle and family excepts guests to see where it all started for Kurt. That says a lot about Kurts caring personality
Thank you for sharing 💕 Kurt Cobain always ❤️
I love how Gary is so kind and nice to Kurt's fans, I think he gives everyone who comes to visit a memento and he gave the Big Kurt figure away to a random fan, must have a been a really cute girl I bet! You can see the big Kurt figure on display in a Leland Cobain video somewhere here on youtube.
Thanks Scotty for finding and giving us more information about Kurt Cobain and his family. Meeting his Uncle Gary was cool, and Kurt did look like him. A simple gentleman who kept on doing whatever he was doing while he was being interviewed by you. Lots of nice pictures of Kurt especially the little figurine of him. Kurt liked collecting toys. Many grown ups love their toys and games. Some childhood bonds are hard to break because the toys reminds them of their childhood. Nice stories. A very interesting interview Scotty. ❤️✌🏼💕
love how he leaves the gun on the coffee table as a way of saying "try to steal my shit I dare you"
Lol honestly I didn’t even notice it the whole time isn’t that crazy
SCOTT ON TAPE lmao that’s great dude I didn’t either until they painted it out. 😂
Seeing as he had pot plants the gun is illegal
@Roy Vice When I'm stoned I sometimes can't even find my pistol. But yeah, weed's bad, m'kay...
Brion Allan southpark reference?
Awwww, I love him! I can see where Kurt got his humorous essence from. 😂😂😂
This is a really great interview. This house has so much history and his uncle has so many memories. Glad you could give me an inside view.
Thanks so much ! I checked out your music and it sounds good. Giving me grunge feels. Awesome stuff.
@@SCOTTONTAPE Whoa! Thanks :)
The Roomates [Band] you’re so welcome!
@@SCOTTONTAPE Did you check out Smoke It or Postscript? Those ones always reminded me of Kurt Cobain
Scott really enjoyed this. Thank you!
Catching up on all your videos, this one is so fantastic! What an amazing man and experience for you!
I love how theirs a gun on the table. No wonder you didnt wanna sit down
He probably put the gun there as a warning in case dude was some psycho stalker fanboy...
Nah one word "METH"
timestamp with the gun pls
Gun is minute near end
@@backwoodsbillycreeks2174 cheers bro
This was great. Wonderful sharing this insight about a true rock star. It was really nice of you to offer to grab his drink for him
Haha! Uncle Gary is awesome! Continuing the tradition his dad started: Being welcoming and kind to Kurt’s fans who seek him out. They have always reminded me of my family. Just folks trying to do their best in this world that isn’t as kind as it should be.
Awesome video. U must of been so excited to meet Kurts uncle and see alot of memorable stuff. Thanks for sharing this.
It was an incredible experience
What a great interview with Kurt’s uncle and yes there is a family resemblance wow !!! His uncle is pretty cool . Thank You Scott for your awesome vlog 👍🏻☮️Out !!
This is awesome Scott. Stepping into time with his Uncle Gary. Kurt you're gone. But never forgotten.🌹🌹
I love kurts younger pictures lol they’re so adorable
I changed my mind this is now my new favorite of all time Scott on tape video!!
Thank you! I just love watching videos like this.
Looking at his family photos when THEY were younger I can see they were ALL good looking. Pretty eyes.
I like that Kurt didn’t care about the $. He still shopped at Goodwill and drove the beat up car. Sentimental romantic. I miss him.
Today was the 25 years later mark that he was found in that greenhouse 😭
Scott I've been binge watching all your videos. I'm a huge fan and look forward to being a part of your patreon. Thank you so much for the great videos!
Kurt Cobain was a cute little boy when he was a little kid
Awesome video. Just the kind of cool and honest uncle I'd have expected Kurt to have.
Wow real humble guy. He's the uncle of one of the biggest Rockstars in history! Some people get a promotion on mcDonalds and think they are good enough to step on everyone
Hope the maker of this video paid Gary, as well as all the other content creators that interview him. He seems like a good guy.
Awesome video! You are doing some amazing things! I wish you the best in your journey! ❤
VERY NICE!!! WELL DONE SCOTT!!! YOUR "SERIES" ON KURT COBAIN IS JUST BEYOND SUPERFANTASTIC!!! :) love u
I wish Kurt would have never met Courtney.
Right.
. No point
If they never met however heart shaped box wouldn’t exist.
JR Rosalez yep he might still be here.
@@c.darwin9259 ur an ahole
Glock Nyneteen lol.
Beautiful family :3!! Thank you for this piece in history :D Kurt had an angelic family..if only he could be here today
Mouth drop!!!!!!!!!!! Kurt Is my hero, how I got started in singing. Freaking love this video man!!! Uncle eyes are same. Can't believe you actually are in such an intimate place of Kurts life, freaking wow.
jesus collins it was truly incredible being there and so very humbling
Has just dawned on me I end up watching a lot of your videos and really love your content - only thing left to do - subscribe. Done. Thanks for keeping Kurt’s memory alive and delving into the background that helped shape the essence of who he was. Now to go and look at your back catalogue- cheers 🥂
Thank you so much Killian!
That was so cool meeting his uncle and seeing all the pics
Yo Uncle Gary 🤘 This was truely touching. Thanks my man.
The way he holds his cigarette is just the same as Kurt!
I noticed that too !
You mean he's holding it with his hands, between his fingers? He has the exact same build as Kurt. They're related. It's not that weird to see similarities but people seem to look into it too much no?
Fucking headbanger the way he even wears his jeans. Looks just like how Kurt used to.
He even uses the microwave exactly how Kurt did.
Black Sabbath lol
I wish i get to go here one day ❤️❤️ thank you for the awesome vids .rip kurt 😭
Great video Scott!
Great video man, glad you’re having a blast!
You're killing it dude.. #Rock Star
Wow thank you for this bro!!💯
Huge body resemblance. Back, shoulders etc...
Okay this is really nice of you 😊💜 this is my 3d comment lol but u did a good job , much love to this guy and to u
I an a massive fan, I would die to have an experience like this!
It was really quite incredible
but if you died you wouldn't be able to have the experience, hmm
Go visit!
Talhe Pfft. You’re right!
CelestialWoodway wish I could!
what an awesome laided back guy, i can see why kurt liked him so much... awesome vid scott well done....
Thank you so much !
I'm trying to think of something to say but I can't accurately describe how creepy, revealing, weird, authentic and cool that was. Seeing the gun on the table towards the end made even more sobering, what an awesome video.
Wow Christopher thank you I really appreciate that
I would have loved to be on this trip with you!! Amazing seeing all these things and talking to Gary.
You kno wen they say whats a matter he was a junkey what dummy prejudices
Kurt definitely resembles his Uncle. There’s some cool memories in that home!!
Scott, you certainly do come up with people, places and things that most wouldn't and/or couldn't!
Uncle Gary seems like a cool cat. I do believe that he was a little uneasy at the beginning. Even having his 45acp on display. Then he realized that hey, this guy Scott is a cool cat. I wonder how many people in that family has those eyes.
Great video sweetie. I absolutely love the diversity of your videos! Love and peace...
i love how he laughs at his own words 4:31 . Seriously tho this guy is so nice to let people in and chat about Kurt.
Thanks for sharing this video Scott , just came Across it today
As a lefty i didnt know he was actually right handed and just played left handed. Thats crazy!
Ya kinda strange huh? So gifted !
@@SCOTTONTAPE ya then again im lefty and play right hand bass although not very good. Because thats what i got. But now i couldnt play left handed it wouldnt feel right. I feel better control of the frets with my domiant hand and its easy to finger pick. I do agree with the beetles and hendrix thing but maybe jts also that reason too
He was left handed!!!!! Any true fan knows that
Olga Urueta he played guitar with his left and wrote with his right.
I didn't know that either
Omg Scott this was amazing ! your freaking awesome. Thanks Uncle Gary
Love this Cobain kick your on man keep it going...
Thank you for this! I have an uncle Gary, too lol
Very cool of him to do this with you!
You sir, are a f*cking legend. Did not see this coming. 👍👍👍
Gary is such a nice guy. Thanks for the video!
It's amazing looking back. As a thirteen year old in the early 90s, I saw how Nirvana changed the music industry forever. All the big bands and artists were suddenly uncool and threatened. Media around music became more deep and varied. Alternative genres became mainstream which shaped the music we hear today. Kurt Cobain would perform huge shows in his pyjamas. Yeh, it was a unique time, before the constant envy, jealously, obsession, selfishness and advertising social media has bred.
Awesome video as usual. Peace and love 🙏❤
I thought Kurt was left-handed but they made him write with his right hand in school. They used to do this. Being left-handed was a disability 😬
I thought he was born right handed I had never heard that about his school before
Some right handed people play guitar left-handed. Omar Rodriguez from The Mars Volta does that, and so does one of my personal friends.
My friend told me "It makes more sense to fret with my right hand since I am naturally more dexterous with it"
Hendrix also wrote and ate with his right hand.
Yes! I was a lefty but the school forced me to be right handed as well
Yes! I remember that happening to me. They brought in a teacher's aid to work with me....to use my right hand. It was extremely frustrating, I remember crying about it.
