Now imagine a parallel universe where Kurt didn’t die in 1994
IvanGames101 he would have died in 95 then.
Sayed El Amin or 96
They split up in '99 after Woodstock Kurt made an acoustic album Dave made foo fighters and Krist went on to politics .99 to 2007 hiatus then reunion in 2007 to 2019 two new albums released end.
Alienvolt 77 oh man. How I wish I lived in that world.
@@Krusader- Same here man :) That would be an amazing world to live in
I’m glad I chose to listen to you read Grohl’s words instead of actually watching the Clip from the HS show. It really captured the mood of the whole interview.
LOL
Nice sarcasm lol
That’s hilarious, I was thinking the same thing 💯
Lol
Yeah put your own spin on it for yuor own use.
Just imagine if we had just 5 more years with kurt.. just imagine what could have happened.
You may have been very disappointed. Heroin would have killed him or he would have offed himself at another time the dude wasn't well mentally.
@@spiderfan1974 i think by "5 more years" he means for kurts life not to be interrupted by death
@@FoliverFoden junkies gonna use who says he would keep doing music? The guy hated fame he liked being creative. Kurt attempted suicide multiple times the dude was fucked in the head. Like I said the drugs would have done him in or his own hands would have.
Or if he was alive right now in 2019
spiderfan1974 He had his troubles but he wasn't "fucked in the head" Kurt had a better look on life than most. He was a troubled man and it's understandable. No one will ever know what happened, but being negative like that isn't a good way to remember him. Unless your a Nirvana hater then your comments make sense
Given how things turned out, even leaving the band forever would have been infinitely better than what we got.
Kurt was just so handsome
You can’t feel what anyone feels.. Our personal journey is always different than anyone else’s. Yet with Kurt we all felt like we knew and understood. And to a degree we can. But Kurt’s journey was different than most. I wish Kurt could have felt he had an option. He was a good human being. He had his dark places like anyone else. But he was good . An angelic soul.. Love and miss you Kurt💜
I watched a different interview with Dave where he said they did discuss making a new band - sort of. Dave came to Krist and gave him the offer to be Foo Fighters bassist. Ultimately Krist decided not to because he didn't think it'd be fair to Dave as with Krist in the band as well it would just make everyone compare foo fighters to Nirvana or make everyone compare Dave to Kurt. They decided that in order for them to get out from under Nirvana's shadow they both had to move on to completely different bands.
It was unavoidable anyways though. I was at a No Doubt show that the Foo Fighters opened for, right in the very beginning when the FF had _JUST_ formed. The audience _HATED_ them, and obviously everyone was comparing them to Nirvana, concluding that they sounded drastically inferior.
The audience booed them big time, and many people walked off, choosing to go get themselves some food and beverages instead of listening to whatever noise was being made by the FF.
There was also a very big feeling that it was disrespectful for Dave to continue on so soon after Kurt’s death.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Dave Grohl got the last laugh though didn't he?
@@tasha7726
Not sure what you mean by that. It seems like you didn’t understand the point of my post whatsoever.
Also, I don’t think he is laughing that much these days when two of his closest bandmates have died from drugs.
Kurt's main health problem was Courtney
sharms888 no it was depression addiction and hereditary
@@seanmcglynn3638 not at all.
Sean McGlynn even with no controversy involved she's huge in his death. It doesn't necessarily mean it's her fault. When someone has a depression issue all it takes is one volatile ingredient to say someone of the rails. The drugs heightened and she was an extremely hostile person. While not faulting her, she was the final ingredient in him going over the edge. While there's no guarantee, I'd say he'd have better odds of being alive if he met someone more laid back and low key.
SAY IT LOUDERRRRR FOR THE MFS IN THE BACK‼️‼️‼️‼️ IM tellin ya she fkn killed him!! The crime scene jus don’t make sense when you study it and the only person with motive to kill him was her!!! I’m tellin y’all she a thieving murderous hoe and no one can change my mind‼️
William Kramer true she didn’t help but it was so much more...my wife loves me to my end but if I chose to kill myself it is my fault no one else
Sounds like Lars Ulrich from Metallica speaking?
Nirvana had no breaks? Kurt spent much of 1992 painting and doing heroin. Nirvana played only a handful of shows in 1992.
He's not very knowledgeable on this subject
@@nevermore7373 Reading '92 didn't "suck" but yeah, it's an overrated Nirvana show.
@@nevermore7373 Good for you. You win. 🥳🤘🌟💯
@@nevermore7373 No problem! I'm always glad to help people show their true colors.
Robert Jones well with Courtney around constantly manipulating and conniving that would get pretty old and take up a lot of time lol
It's so Sad They All Needed Time Off Kurt May Still Be With Us Today !!! RIP Kurt
Guess not cos he suffered from lots of health problems and he would not have altered his lifestyle at any way he felt comfortable. That was typically him.
Can we talk for a moment about how killer that Lollapalooza lineup was?
I freaked out when I saw that poster! My brain was like... wow, that looks _SUPER_ familiar... oh duh, it’s because I went to that exact show, on one of those two dates! Lol.
It was the only Lollapalooza I went to, and I still have the t-shirt, with it’s faded ink and slightly too large/baggy size (as was the style at the time). I stopped wearing the shirt eons ago, and just kept it as a keepsake - it has that buddha on it too. It sucks so much that there was a chance I could have seen Nirvana play, if only...
I really, really wish I could have seen them play live!
Anyways, don’t think that all those bands played on both dates. You would have had to pay the extra big bucks to see _BOTH_ show dates in order to see the sweet full line-up. I remember how difficult it was to make the decision for which date to go to because there was just so many great bands, and being in college at the time, I couldn’t afford to see both dates with how damn expensive the tickets were.
It was an awesome time though. Would have been more awesome with Nirvana though, and would have made the decision for which date to go to a total no-brainer.
Keyword: killer
Dave great drummer
Just never could get into foo fighters.
@stephen prater they were here in costa rica about 2 months back
too bad, you missed out
@@dutchie1010 ah ur opinion✌
That's because nirvana was epic for the time
The start of the 90s decade
Generation x breaking out
Now being 43 I find nirvana a bit juvenile and over rated
But at the time, I was huge fan
Foo fighters are
Sloppy
Music is inaudible
The instruments just mesh together with no defining elements
Dave's vocals are average
But not stand out
Over all evaluation
Foo fighters suck
Just listen the last concert in Munich Kurt's health was terrible and company was still pushing him for more and more I remember once he said "what do you all want from me do you want my death?"
'It just got weird...Curt was well, unwell, well, unwell...' Perfect description of bi-polar, and takes everyone around you into the weird also. Brilliant, talented shining lights....until they are not.
“Take a year off and Kurt to get healthy or get well”
I honestly believe that if Kurt hadn’t died in 1994, he would spiralled into a Layne type of situation of simply taking heroin all day and being a loner. My views of course, but I don’t believe if it he would have survived in 94 he would still be alive today, I think the drugs would have consumed him.
Not if he was able to get the proper help mate. Ofcourse he wuld hav to be willing to do that. I wuld much rather he took some time off than the outcome we got.
Well it depends if he wanted to get the proper help. An intervention attempted with him in 1994 failed, and Dave admitted that in the end things got weird in the Nirvana camp.
There’s a letter (presumably unsent) that Kurt wrote to Krist in 1994 basically breaking up Nirvana, that he was fed up with the whole idea of it, and he was fully prepared to take the consequences legally of breaking up the band. Presumably this was written while Cobain was on heroin so who knows how he would have felt sober. I can find the link if you want, it’s a fascinating little read of his apathy with the entire scene and being in Nirvana in general.
The basic situation is, would Cobain have been able to kick heroin. In the hypothetical scenario, he probably would have divorced Courtney, moved out, and attempted to make a fresh start. Who knows, but I just feel even without Courtney, he had too many junkie friends to tempt him back.
Bellocks1 I would like that link so I can read it.
I dont know if it’s something I’ve already read before or not lol
We will never know what Kurt would have become of Kurt and or nirvana
It’s fun to guess and assume but we will never know.
Dan and Lilly’s Beard Product Reviews m.imgur.com/utffN68?r there you go
I do find it funny that Kurt labels Krist as a drunk (although probably true, he seemed sloshed a lot in interviews), it’s ironic coming from a seasoned heroin addict like Cobain.
@@Bellocks1 wow?!.. just read the letter and I'm in such shock.
Speechless.
I've got an original 1992 nevermind t-shirt
That's a not uncommon story. The unknown hungry band signs contracts they don't comprehend, then down the road realize they don't have any autonomy and are stuck on the road for years at a time. Most people aren't built for that, and it's taken so many of the greats. Yes, Dudeman, we could make a long list of folks who given a lengthy vacation, a chance to get clean, and be with friends and family, would be alive today.
Your voice is like lars
It should have been Lars.
He left the focking band!
They didn’t tour straight through by any sorts. After the Australian/Japan tour in early 1992 they only played 21 shows for the next 12 months till Feb 1993. This fact is widely known and referenced. If they would have toured hard during 1992 “Nevermind” would have been even bigger. Even the last year of his life April 93 - March 94 they played 74 shows. So that’s less than 100 show in close to 750 days. Please don’t get me wrong I LOVE NIRVANA. I’m a Nirvana historian and saw them in Houston. I like facts and numbers. They play WAY more before the Nevermind times on tour and around Seattle. Worked harder too. All the game stuff, health issues, drugs, and that monster piece of shit wife ruined Kurt’s life. I wish he had never dumped Tracey Marander.
Yeah, he’d still be here with us if he would have stayed with Tracey. :(
Good insights. They were people not a money machine. RIP Kurt. You are missed.
When Kurt said he didn't want to share his royalties anymore, plus he said he want the royalties paid to Dave and Christ back, that would probably stress the whole situation...
Courtney knows more than she’s admitted to. Ask Dylan Carlson. Kurt’s mom and Courtney’s old lawyer even thinks so.
MURDER
His grandpa thought so, too.
if she hadnt existed who knows. we better shut up she might still have 50k
Laurie Sherrill IKR. According to Francis‘s ex-husband, she tried to have him killed too! It was to get that “unplugged” guitar back...which was recently auctioned for like $4 million.
Agreed
Time off would have helped, but the guy was addicted to one of the hardest drugs there is and in a tumultuous marriage. And from the interviews I've heard, almost everyone around him was doing drugs too. You can't quit under those circumstances. He would have needed to cut himself off from almost everyone he was close to and put Nirvana on an indefinite hiatus, in order to have just a chance at quitting. Even if Nirvana decided to screw the record companies and take a year off, eventually, he would have OD'd, unless he was 100% committed to quitting and willing to turn his entire life upside down and start fresh.
What i get from some of the old Nirvana interwievs is a weird dynamic between Kurt and Grohl.
"A WORKING CLASS HERO IS SOMETHING TO BE".
I agree with Keith Richards. Why did the record company not hire someone to take care of him?
You Know You're Right is the divorce letter to Courtney Love. 90% of the music of Nirvana was completed or even just written in the 3.5 years with Tracy Marander and in the year with Bikini Kill. In the 24 months of marriage with Courtney Love, Kurt wrote 'Locked inside' ( Heart-Shaped Box), 'Married Burried' (All Apologies), and 'I Will Move' (You Know You're Right). In March 94 right after the tour got broken off, Kurt Cobain adjusted his attorney to file the legal divorce of his marriage. You Know You're Right is the divorce letter to Courtney Love.
I agree with you on You Know You're Right and All Apologies but Heart Shape Box was written about Courtney's Vagina. That and for the majority of other songs you cant put too much into his lyrics because he has stated multiple time. He is and was very lazy when it came to writing lyrics. Some songs yes he would work on for hours but for the majority of others he would work on last min just because they had a deadline. So just for future reference with 9 out 10 of his songs. You cant put too much thought into. Cause that's one thing that used to annoy Kurt so much that people who put so much meaning into all of his songs when of them really were just passages and phrases that were taken from old poems and journal entries that he decided for fit in that song.
@@TranKQuiLL2024 Oh, ok.
I can see that being true, but, many Courtney supporters will SWEAR they were in LOVE still, he was the Yin to her Yang so on and so forth. Maybe she wasn't the total hell bitch many have said she is, especially not now since she is sober, BUT, I can see her being out for the money back then. Her dad was the worst excuse for a dad that ever crawled the earth, and MAYBE that is why she is all for herself, or was back then. I've seen good people get really ugly in divorces, so maybe a not so good person can be REALLY bad. None of us outsiders will ever know the true story about Courtney and Kurt and how things happened in the end. Frances Bean maybe doesn't know even. She wasn't around her mom until she got clean and Frances was much older, I heard that Courtney wanted to spend that money that Frances inherited and got once she reached a certain age, maybe her 20's? Maybe Frances is supporting her mom now? IDK.
@@TranKQuiLL2024 That makes alot of sense, many song lyrics were mentioning things about his life, "it's okay to eat fish cause they don't have any feet" in Something in the way is a snippet about how he was homeless and lived under an overpass. I have a small book about Nirvana that makes a small bit of sense about some of the lyrics. I do NOT remember the name of that book though. It was a very thin little book. I have books everywhere and I am too tired and lazy to look now.
@@TranKQuiLL2024 it wasn't it was written about kids with cancer
Such a waste of a talented, empathetic, beautiful Soul. I struggle with the same demons my two Idols (Layne and Kurt) did and their music has always helped me pull through when all I wanted was to dive into that void. Gone way too soon but forever in our hearts💜🤘🏻.
Likewise...💚
Yea but don’t forget he treated his siblings like shit.
the band didn’t need time off. kurts addiction was the end of him. he lied in every interview, his journals document what really was happening. he knew that he wouldn’t be able to do withdrawals and get better because he thought heroin and death were an easier way out and he knew it. the heroin ended him
Oh man! 01:50 I went to that exact show, on that date! It was the only Lollapalooza I went to, and I still have the t-shirt, with it’s faded ink and slightly too large/baggy size (as was the style at the time). I stopped wearing the shirt eons ago, and just kept it as a keepsake - it has that buddha on it too. It sucks so much that there was a chance I could have seen Nirvana play, if only...

It’s got the best bass riff I’ve ever heard. You know you’re right!
Kurt took 9 months off from touring after neverminds release and they barely played any shows during that time. Only during the first 3 months after its release. Red hair kurt snl, mtv.. then Only small local clubs in la where kurt and courtney lived. Dave and Kris were both in washington. The 1992 Reading fest short hair kurt was their first big show after a 6 month break from playing music together. Kurt played live once during that 6 months and it was w/ mudhoney at their show and then he did ]eadbelly solo. Then they recorded in utero w brown hair kurt and did s american tour. Took a small break before mtv live and loud and unplugged time with back to blonde long a tad bit cleaner hair kurtand after went on European tour which ended shortly before Kurt OD in Rome, which was shortly b4 he killed himself in Seattle. Kurt turned down roughly 9 million to headline Lollapalooza shortly before his death. People, managers, bandmates, lawyers, spouses, ect... were pissed cuz it was big easy payday. Meanwhile dude just wanted to get high in a closet and play acoustic guitar. For a huge band they didnt tour much, even back then when record sales meant something. So kind of misleading to say they constantly toured. They were big for less than 3 years 9 months of which they were on a media blackout after vanity fair article and not touring.
Kurt Cobain was murdered...watch soaked in bleach on RUclips or netflix,prime #justiceforkurt
Man he just needed a real Friend
He did have real friends tho
@@mickroyster6442 Who ? a junkie like Dylan Carlson who bought him a gun knowing he was exhausted, lost, suicidal ? Man, nobody needs "friends" like that.
I saw them 93 Fair Park Colosseum Dallas TX and it was the APEX of the whole scene! It was like seeing the Beatles or Jimi Hendrix
My buddy's brother was there. My parents and my buddy's wouldn't let us go with him bc we were 12 lol. They ended up letting us go to the Pumpkins show with him at Reunion a few years later tho. And that same year, at 15, we went to see RATM at Starplex. My parents were pretty cool, I guess. I get it tho. I shouldn't be at a concert without my parents at 12. It makes sense now. But when he died, I told my parents "SEE! You should've let me go! Now I'll never see them!" The only show I ever saw at FP was 311 on the Transistor tour. My lucky ass little brother saw Pantera there on the Extreme Steel tour, I think it was. He still rubs that one in my face to this day lol.
@@boofert.washington2499 That is a pretty cool story we definitely were lucky to have been around at that time. I saw the Pumpkins to and met them outside the Bomb factory and they signed my Jimi Hendrix T shirt , Billy Corgan drew a pumpkin, and Jimmy was with two fine chicks. I saw Rage the fist time at lollapalooza in 93 and the opened it was the biggest stage rush I ever saw!
Call it 'was found dead' - but great thanks for putting out 'We Needed A Break' . A band needs a simple break. Like all bands possibly do in the right moment. Very simple. No Drama.
Kurt didn't take his own life... life took kurt.
Correction. Kurt took at least half of 1992 off. Its well documented. Kurt was fragile besides being a drug addict most of the last 3 famous years of his life. Besides something no one ever seems to bring up. He was obviously clinically depressed. That's why he killed himself. Part of him wanted to be famous & drug addicts just want another fix. So it's neither of those reasons. They're not suicidal because they're an addict.
That is absolute ludachris kurt cobain was not as caught up in his own legacy as people think, he was met with foul play.
@@kristybush6949 Right how times in the 3 famous years of his life in interviews , songs people that knew him did he talk about killing himself ???Answer is almost all the time. I don't like Courtney any better then anyone else but anyone that thinks he didn't kill himself and was murdered is just another weak minded believe any bullshit you hear fool.
@@Diggerdog2nd most of the stuff you are reffering to were words or events put in his mouth or talked up by his wife who then told biographers that this stuff happened to legitimize a false chain of events that can otherwise by looked back at now as a series of self destructive signs and many of them have been fact checked and disproven. kurt talked about suicide stereotypically in an interview on decmber 13th 1993 coincidently 16 days before his wife went and asked someone to carry out a hit on her husband inside a record shop, the person in question then years later came out about his story and passing several lying detector carried out by the nation leading forensic pologygrpah examiner, before mysteriously dying having been last seen alive next to the very person he claimed eventually took up the offer courtney was originally offered to him.
I hate myself and i wanna die was a sarcastic remark kurt thought up after several fans pestered him about looking sad and media outlets portraying him as a manic suicidal time bomb when he truely wasnt, the dude needed a few years of peace and quiet and recovery with his daughter, and that was more so what he was aiming for not suicide by shot gun.
you made me literally cry, hearing your words and the way you said them about just taking that time - to take a break, even for a short while, a year, which is nothing for today's bands to do. And don't forget about the non stop touring BEFORE and leading upto Nevermind, the official tour schedule with back to back shows, maybe a day off every 8 or 9 days but constant touring. They were like slaves really, in my opinion on the rampant touring. Not to mention Kurt was homeless the week Nevermind came out after busting his ass on tour, living in that van, eating crap, sleeping in places not fit for humans, if they even were able to pay for a place. They had no support out there on the road, either for the most part, they were all they had truth be told.
He would've killed him self all over again had he lived to see how the social media is today.

Nirvana could still be here. They do not deserve this history.

@@thecloudyguy4207 This is patently false, and entirely illogical. Baffling.
@@thecloudyguy4207 No, people know Nirvana cause the music stands far out. // (By the way, Kurt Cobain has not used the gun, he was dead already, whaever else happened there.)
Kurt was keeping it together. Dependent but still functioning, even after a grueling 3 years of work and turmoil. He had tremendous pressure on him, but he was tough as nails. He was trying to walk away and get sorted. He trusted the wrong people. He didn’t realize it, then he probably couldn’t quite believe it. Rome damaged his brain. Too long without oxygen. He tried to take control, but who could he trust after the intervention? He was alone. Everyone was attributing his behavior to smack. So easy their explanation. It was much more complicated and who could he trust? Then, he went and got high. When he nodded out, someone gave him two more shots... one from a needle and one from a gun.
stfu you weren't there

@@dusdincorleone yes if you'd actually do your fucking research like the dedicated people who are looking into this with logic diligence, he was slipt date rape drugs in his champagne in Rome Italy, he DId NOT intentionally overdose himself that is proven now however he suffered from some brain damage and none of you would know that becuase you run your god damn mouth and at best only read the factiscious autobiographies about kurt cobain who's writers got their information mostly from his wife which had a slice in the pie of his organized hit.
The machine doesn't know what it takes to produce music from your soul.
And you hear it in every artist words. Where it's real. And what the machine wants you to hear
He wouldn’t of left Frances without a father. It’s jus a lil funny that he was about to cut Courtney out of his will before he died, but never got the chance, and now she’s still living off his money #justiceforkurt
Nice video man, Thanks fr posting it...
awesome, thanks!
Actually Dave asked Kristo join his band and Krist said declined because everyone will think of Nirvana.
I agree by March of 1994 they needed time off from being on the road for 6 months but its NOT true that they didn't take breaks since Nevermind in 1991. They had breaks, they didn't really tour at all in 1992 other than a few shows in early 92 to finish the Nevermind tour and then they took a break for a few months to come back in the summer of 1992 just to play a few festival shows then another break. They also didn't tour in 1993 until September.
Kurt should have stayed with Tracy then he wouldn't have met Courtney
Actually Kurt should of never went home.
Yeah
eyerishroses yeah
No kidding. It's such a massive loss. I'd like to imagine what Kurt would think of music today lol Or if music would've gone in a different direction than where it is today. As I've grown older I look at Kurt a bit different than I used to. He was suffering massively and active addiction is one of the worst things a person can be in. I would really like to hear what Nirvana would sound like in 1996 or 1997! There could've been so much awesome artwork! Ok. Time to get back to reality 😔😒 🤪😁
Great insight. Thanks!
I think that the band needed a break
I thought that the band had broken up after their last live show in Munich Germany in 1994 and I feel that even if Kurt Cobain didn't die Dave Grohl would have formed the foo fighters anyway
Fact, he is phoney
@@vilimbubas1302 Phoney? In what way? lmfao....
He didnt take his own life, it was taken from him
Exactly
Doubt he asked for it. Like 2 days beforehand he checked in to a rehab then escaped over the fence when he could have walked out the front door. He knew they were going to get him and tried to throw them off. How it looks to me anyway.
I really don't know who did it. Just don't see it being suicide. I do notice a trend of musicians that aren't under establishment control committing "suicides" that don't make sense or get a real investigation. Chester and Chris being the most recent I can think of.
Another thing is all the h in his system at the time. I used to be on drugs pretty hard, clean now thank you Jesus! Point is an addict doesn't hit a suicidal low right after banging his dope, that comes after the high is gone. Just sayin.
Well said👍👍
Sorry but I disagree on the constant touring Nirvana did over the 3 years from 1991 to 1994. "Nevermind" through to "In Utero". Nirvana really didn't do much touring at all, that is in comparison to most other Bands. Nirvana did most of it's touring before "Nevermind" went crazy on the charts. But from February 1992, through to September 1993, they only played sporadic dates over the 18 or 19 months. During June 1992 they tried to finish the European dates which were cancelled earlier, and Nirvana played a handful of shows before cancelling again. Then they played "The Reading Festival", MTV awards, Seattle, Argentina, maybe a couple shows in between, then in January 1993 Nirvana played those 2 big South American shows in Brazil. After that they recorded "In Utero" in February 1993, which took 2 weeks. In April 1993 they played the Cow Palace in San Francisco for Bosnian Rape Victims, (I think that's correct). In July 1993 they played the Roseland Ballroom, and in August they played another benefit show for Frank Zappa, (If I'm right or wrong about that I'm not 100% sure). In September Nirvana played "Saturday Night Live". So clearly very sporadic touring from Nirvana. After Nevermind exploded most bands who release an album of that success would be constantly touring. It was released in September 1991, and it became Number.1 in January 1992. Yet touring was finished essentially by February 1992 in Honolulu, Hawaii. On October 18 1993 through to January 8 1994 Nirvana toured North America & a few Mexico shows in there and Canada of course. Then Nirvana had virtually 1 month off before starting the European Tour on February 4 1994. Then as most people who are Nirvana fans know, on March 1st 1994, after that last show, that European tour was cancelled etc, and the rest is history as we all know. Kurt never ever wanted to tour In Utero in the 1st place, he was pressured by the band understandly so, the record label, managers, and management. So a Band like Nirvana who had & still have a very big following, and huge momentum going for them, they could have killed it, if they had they toured for another year or so straight for the "Nevermind" album. But it was what it was. The same could be said for "In Utero". Dave Grohl has gone on record to say, "In Nirvana, we really didn't tour that much, compared to most other bands with similar, or that of a Band with the same success would and should Tour". Kurt Cobain was sick with his stomach issues, and also his Heroin addiction, which obviously was a big reason for shortened tours, cancelled tours, etc, etc. I'm a huge Nirvana fan, I'm 30 years old and for 18 years, I've been a huge fan of their music and Kurt's writings and poetry. Anyways sorry for the long winded comment I wrote, I just thought I'd try my best to clarify a few things, that were not 100% accurate. As it was Kurt Cobain probably had too much time to himself, in regards to him having no time with the supposed constant touring that didn't really happen. Cheers from Tom, from Sydney NSW Australia.
Who else has been curious what the next album name was going to be and what the art on the cover was going to look like?
What are you talking about they'd done 3 straight years? Have you forgotten about bleach & all the festivals & tours they did on that record? More like they'd done 6 straight years. Nirvana wouldn't of even got a shot if it wasn't for Sonic Youth repeatedly insisting their record label should sign them.
Well aware of the time they had put in. Would actually be longer than 6 years. The 3 years is the time that Nevermind broke to Kurts passing. Their time in the mainstream.
Which was the time of all the pressure. Why do people get so draconian against people that try to put material out?
Cool cd.
I wish Mary Lou stayed in London with him and went with him for the rest of the tour but you know she also had a full time job
They didn't tour consistently from 91 to 94. They only played a few shows in 92.
there was probs still a lot of demand from labels and fans n stuff, kurt was a cynical mf and i could imagine how he might have felt patronized by everyone. but i wasnt even alive in the 90's so what do i know
too bad they didn't made it for Lollapalooza
it would have been another iconic Lollapalooza Event
If Kurt was still alive and got the help he needed and his divorce went through, I still think Nirvana would’ve broken up and never reunited, Dave, Pat and Krist would’ve went on to make Foo Fighters and Kurt would retreat into solitude to raise Frances-Bean as a single father. Maybe and this is a big maybe he releases You know you’re right as a single or he has a solo career. but that’s how I think it would’ve went down.
They did hade a break after nevermind, he didn't tour USA until the In utero tour.
First time i heard "you Know you're right" I got a feeling of an anterior stuff unrealised, putting it in the right time gives me an "out of gaz" feeling.
The songs Dave made on the first FF album were clearly a Nirvana's possible new direction, i wish Kurt could have sung 1 or 2 of theses. Something easy and lightweight wouldn't have been bad.
@bullsi20 just because they were in the same band. Assuming that the FF album wasn't fully done when K passed, I'm not saying FF is a Nirvana album.
Done a shit load of touring from 89. Great video keep these up vert interesting
In late 1993-1994 Kurt complety changed to different person(it's like some dark spirit swap his soul). Not like before had many smiles , make a joke with his teamate.
Yeah it's cause of the heroin
When people want to be "famous" they don't factor in the physical labor involved. I don't think Kurt had a clue how much stress & work was required and how soul-killing it was playing the same list of songs over & over in different cities. The creative part is small by comparison. Add in mental instability, drugs, chronic pain & a fucked up relationship and it's a recipe for disaster. But most people only blame the relationship for his death. Pathetic. The fact that he couldn't kick the drugs & got dragged in the tabloids, causing him to almost lose his daughter was a level of shame he couldn't handle. And a possible divorce on top of that? Doesn't take a genius to understand what went wrong. But most people are nowhere near geniuses so here we are :|
Yeah, imagine touring the world with adoring fans and getting paid millions. "Soul-killing."
He definitely should have pulled out... From Courtney Love!
You're going to be unwell when you self treat stomach problems with heroin
Non stop since -91? More like since -86-87
I always believed that Krist and Dave had mutually agreed to end Nirvana. However, Nirvana lost their lead singer and main songwriter, whatever came after wouldn't have been Nirvana, even if they kept the name.
If you go by the HBO documentary Kurt took months off just staying locked up with Courtney love. So technically they didn’t tour nonstop since 91.
The October 93' live version is more powerful and moving to me. Considering everything, the fact that no one had heard it before. Obviously knowing it was close the end adds to it. However you feel he passed.
What could've been... 😔
The fans only see their favourite stars/bands/actors doing their thing and entertaining the audience. But we usually don't see the pressure, the contracts, the labels, the money, the fights, what fame does, depression, drugs and so forth. If thousands or millions of dollars are connected to you acting in a movie or doing that album or playing that tour, you can't back out. Even if that would mean serious health damages. So sad. And fans? Do they ignore it most of the time? I read that the most creative people are those who suffered tragic stuff in their lifes. But maybe the reason why these people don't follow normal paths and work normal jobs is that they want to conpensate their trauma by becoming rich and famous. Also I strongly believe that people like Kurt Cobain, Chester Bennington or Amy Winehouse shouldn't have become famous. Being in the spotlight is tough, super tough. Being burdened with a tragic past you should not go into public and sing about it. It doesn't make things better.
You know, you're right!
Narrated by Lars Ulrich?
I got a Nirvana ad.
This dude just sounds like a grunge singer
I think if Nirvana broke Foo fighters would start anyway
I think Kurt would have wanted Dave to do Foo bc he liked the Demos that Dave played for him. That would have given Kurt time off from Nirvana w no pressure to return. He could do side projects if he wanted in the future or written new Nirvana material, solo album etc.
Just so sad.. RIP KURDT
Damn! Had he just taken the time off, just damn.💔
Chris Simpson yea.. and not met that Bitch! (She got him killed scum bag)
Dave is full of shit on the "time to take a break" front. Besides CLove, Grohl was a DRIVING force on pressuring KC to do Lollapalooza. He was still very bitter about the royalties split and the potential money from Lollapalooza was very important to him. I'm not saying he was right or wrong for that but I'm telling you, that's what it was.
It's excruciatingly sad that Kurt didn't have anyone looking out for his interests and tell everyone to f**k off. He was ill and needed time off. Now that break is forever.
What was the point of an intervention if not for him to get well and off heroin?
It baffles me, the guy 100 percent pursued fame with his band and got it then hated it. Just like Eddie Vedder. Don't want to be famous, don't go after it. What did he think it was gonna be like?
Pursued fame? Really? How much do you actually know ab nirvana or kurt for that matter dude?
Yes, he pursued fame. You don't sign a recording contract, put out an album and tour the world looking to be a huge band for the hell of it LOL. You're seriously trying to tell me he was not trying to pursue fame and fortune with his band. You don't get in a band, release albums and perform in public to play to chairs. Don't want your band to be famous, stay in your basement ;)
Some people think it’s what they want but can’t handle it when It comes.
But some play for the fun of making music and sometimes the fame comes with the success.
@@davidsolinski2988 that's precisely what I am saying, he was not trying to pursue fame. Fame may have found him, but he wasnt trying to become to where he was unable to walk down the street. Making music in order to make a living is quite different than pursing music to eventually become more famous than Micheal Jackson (at the time). Kurt hated the fact he was famous like he was. Everyone knows that. Smh 🧐
Over-simplification much?
Sounds like Lars Ulrich is narrating this.
I don´t care what Dave thinks unless it´s about Kurt.
Nirvana
Yes, nirvana
👏
I read some of the comments and saw nothing alluding to the fact that Kurt was possibly killed. The investigation was a sham and they didn't care, but the forensics showed the the shell casing was on the wrong side of the room for the logical way to kill yourself with a long shotgun. Not to mention lots of other circumstantial evidence that showed he was probably avoiding Courtney, and quite possibly having an affair with her bass player. The PI Courtney hired recorded every conversation with her, and HE was convinced she had something to do with him passing because she wouldn't have gotten anything if he divorced her due to a pre-nuptual agreement. He loved his daughter, his stomach condition had been diagnosed and fixed, and he was happier than ever by many accounts.
The amount of heroin he had in his system at the time was way to much for him to be able to even pull the trigger. Courtney had motive. And you’re right, he would leave frances without a father
Kurt didn't want to do Lollapalooza at all. Courtney was making him for the million dollars they offered him.
You wrong, ¿Millón? 10 millions!
They actually didn’t tour never mind in the us. Their first show after never mind was headlining reading in 92 was rio in early 93” then did inutero u.s.tour end of 93 then Europe in 94. So they didn’t go non stop he took over a year off.
One of these days your heart will stop
Imagine if John Lennon could still perform Imagine. Harsh is life. If life was candy and nuts,we would all have a happy Halloween. I'm just priveledged to have NIRVANA music in my life.There are some "positives".,Foo Fighters music,Courtney has basically disappeared,and Francis Bean Cobain is well.Krist Novoselic politically involved for freedom as well.
Empathy
Dave and Krist was offended when Kurt has take royaltys on himself. Really dont understand why, it was his band, he was alpha and omega, they were just rhythm section directed byKurt as he had all in his mind, Utero was more influenced by them but thats it really. Because off such attitude Chad Chaning wasnt ever even in band, thats his words. Most important too is that they had own lives much different than Kurt, i bet Kurt comprehend them as true friends and realized they are phoneys as everyone at end... I really feel that they didnt feel dirty as Kurt, they had space Kurt didnt even in private life...Kurt was like a shadow, always behind or on a side but here...Still is, they not at all
Courtney was pissed Kurt pulled out of Lalapalooza because he lost 9.4 Million from that !!
Fuckin Tyler from Secureteam 10 from his jail cell apparently, trying to disguise his voice slightly but he can’t change the way he phrases words. Wtfigoh
But wait, how does that work? Why were bands sued if they pulled out of a tour?
Probably not if you are on heroin. You have to be physically fit and pass the insurance health exam etc. The insurance would likely cover for something like this. The Michael Jackson criminal case dabbles in this topic and was the subject of lawsuits that came later. Everyone blaming everyone else.
Yet Grohl would pressure Hawkins to tour.. :/
I don't understand how people say oh just imagine if we had many more years with Kurt, be greatful he was around that long. Kurt wanted to end Nirvana he wanted to buy a castle.
This video is wrong as well Nirvana were touring long before nevermind and Dave joining the band, Courtney love was attacking him over not doing the tour Kurt was done.
Kurt couldn't get healthy stomach problems were stopping it, it sounds a lot like Kurt has chrons disease in his stomach. It is one disease really hard to diagnose and can effect you from your ass hole to your throat.
Grohl was ready to leave Nirvana as he felt he was more than just a drummer. He was also fed up with Kurt drug and family problems.
Well what he expected? To write songs? Sings? I mean come on, they earned 50 millions each without Kurts share, Krist was his friend? No way man, they know each other from Melvins rehearsals and knew each other name from High school...Thats it. They let him die because they are phoneys as everyone. Fuking jerks let genius die, fuck their ego, they are mediocre persons who was totally separated from him after royaltys, they felt like workers...Wtf that mean? So we workers dont worth? Ill would add extra hand on myself if its necessary for that money and they felt like on job? They havent deserve even that for jerk behavior believe me
