    All three of them were great friends. It was Kurt's drug use that pushed Dave and Krist away at the end. I've heard Dave talk about it. Dave and Krist drank beer and smoked weed. Kurt was shooting heroin. Two different worlds. Kurt was living in a circle of people that Dave and Krist couldn't relate with.

She has no right whatsoever to lie about something evil like that. Kurt and Dave were like brothers, and seeing that Courtney doesn’t respect that is gross.

      Kudos, my friend. It's a shame we live in a time where forgiveness is seen as weakness. Forgiveness isn't about wrong or right. It's about compromises and drawing lines in a sand, so we can all move on. And the thing is, ego plays a huge part. And it takes a real human being to forgive or apologise.
      This is what is tearing society apart. Everyone wants "Justice", or "Respect". And yet, in the old days, pre Social Media, a lot more collegues, friends and families stayed gluede together, because time is meant to erode memories of those that have wronged us, or we have wronged.
      But now they are memorialized in tweets and comments on Social Media. So it's no wonder we live in the age of extremes, just look at the mess in the middle pushing us apart as we build the pile of grievinces, without the cleaner of time to sweep away the memories best forgotten

    No surprise that Courtney flip-flopped on their (supposedly) final deal that Dave and Krist would get all merchandising and a very minuscule amount of royalties while Courtney would get the bulk of the royalties. A fair deal since Kurt was the primary writer. Courtney changed her mind and said she was basically forced into making a bad deal and instead wanted ALL of Nirvana!?? Krist and Dave deserved even more than what they settled for in my opinion but I doubt they cared that much as long as it was at least half-way fair. After all it was their band too! Courtney is a train wreck of a human being.

    In Kurt's diaries he mentions a couple of times the idea of breaking up the band and then reform the band with a different name to avoid legal issues.
    On the other hand, the letter is from 92 and the rumours of Kurt being unsatisfied and distant from his bandmates started later, after "In Utero" was released (if I remember correctly). If someone knows what was really happening between them that's Chris, Dave and Pat.
    It still hurts to see how Dave hasn't really turned the Nirvana page, no matter how successful he is with Foo Fighters and any other of his projects. It's like "why did it have to end this way?" No way to close the circle.

    Great video dude. It’s a nice little nugget of Nirvana lore that warms the heart and reminds us of what great guys they were. Now this is ticky tack for sure, and normally the kind of thing that I would send privately if possible, but at the end of the video you mention how Dave’s impact basically cannot be understated. But I think you mean overstated. If it can’t be understated that means it’s already as minimal as it can be. But something that can’t be overstated is already at as high a level as it can be. I figure that you just misspoke but thought I should point it out anyway just because I’m a compulsive freak like that.

    When something is right, it is so right and that sound fit like a cosmic glove. It stands above all else and speaks for itself. They knew, but never dreamed so many others would also know. Each one of them contributed their heart and soul and their recordings captured the magic of that union.
    David being the last to join, respected Kurt and Krist and the vision they worked so hard for and often deferred to them, while humbly providiing the super strong foundation Nirvana needed to make that vision come true. He was no slouch. I am glad that Kurt recognized his strength and contribution to the band, which was undeniable, in letting that be said, as David often took the back seat, being overlooked but never complaining. That is a true musician and Kurt must have known that it was what it took to make the magic happen..

    There's no doubt they were like brothers 1990-1993, but Kurt had a lot of anger towards Dave and Krist after their last tour, which Kurt wanted to cancel repeatedly, but Dave and Krist took management's side and insisted it continue (citing we don't get as much songwriting royalties, so we NEED to keep going). This resulted, first, in Kurt attempting to intentionally blow out his voice so it had to be cancelled. When that didn't work, he decided overdosing would do the trick. That finally got it cancelled and is viewed in retrospect as Kurt's first suicide attempt. He had to feel so betrayed by them. Perhaps when Courtney says "Kurt hated Dave" she's talking about that very brief moment in time towards the end, which is technically true, but it's more likely she was just being hateful and saying anything she could to keep ownership of the estate. She also must know that Kurt was pretty much as done with her as the band at that point, too, so to use that period as a win for her over Dave is gross. Poor Kurt had to feel so alone in the end, not trusting his band members, or his wife.

    • @lara-kate3928

      No i see what you mean but I disagree. I really just dont think dave or krist had yet grasped the severity. Kurt was very closed off in many ways. He didnt let on too many signs he was struggling to THAT point. because his struggles were always so constant. Dave and krist were his brothers right till the end. They probably only pushed him to keep going on tour because they thought he could. Because the way they saw him struggling on that tour probably wasnt any different to how he had struggled possibly throughout other tours. Plus like you said, kurt had most of the royalties. Nirvana was the other bandmates income too. As much as dave, krist and kurt were brothers they were also a team, making their livings off of eachothers creativity and hard work. I dont think kurt hated dave. I really dont. If anything i think kurt hated himself. A lot. Any way dave or courtney or anyone might’ve let him down, he took that disappointment upon himself, not them.

A tough read but it's given me an insight into Kurt's psyche and his dependence on drugs from a very early age. He was pretty messed up even before he became well known. It is almost like drugs were a surrogate/replacement for his mother's affections. Not sure you would agree but this is my take on it.
    I'm not an expert on drugs or addiction but I have known friends who used heroin. They were like jekyll and hyde caricatures. Kurt's personality change resulted from his drug use. Lashing out then feelings of remorse.

All she wanted from Kurt and the band was to further her personal success. The whole hype about her band hole was built from the success of Nirvana. When I would see her all I saw was a gold digger.

      Absolutely. Courtney knew he was struggling but it was always "Me, Me, Me" with her. The chokehold she had on him extends beyond his death, unfortunately, as all she's ever wanted is more control than she already had. This is not what Kurt would have wanted. He loved Dave and Krist like brothers and he cherished Frances from the moment she was conceived. I'm sure K is looking down, disgusted, at the way she treats them all.

    It kind of sickens me with the whole Rock & Roll Hall of Fame thing, all of them "hugging and making up" was pretty much all fake on Courtneys part, all she was trying to do was save face, but the crowd boo'ed her anyway. At first I sort of felt a little bad for her, but after all of the recent comments and shit, I don't feel bad at all. I sometimes listen to Hole, and there's a few songs I really like for the sake of nostalgia, but this woman has been nothing but inconsistent over the years, either on or off some kind of substances. I'm sure Kurt (in the depths of some depressive drug binges) had expressed some of his frustrations with the direction of the band to Courtney, and may have said some things about Krist and Dave that maybe he didn't really mean, or simply just because he was angry with himself at the time. But Kurt Cobain did not dislike Dave, and Krist was like his only best friend from school! We're they heading for taking a break after In Utero? Probably..but all you have to do is watch interviews with the band and you can see they all had a bond that couldn't be matched!

    Courtney made Yoko Ono looks like the most adorable and loved person on earth.
    we know for sure that Yoko didn't get John killed... can't say the same about evil Courtney

    I’m a REAL Nirvana Fan Vs No IM A TRUE NIRVANA FAN, Absolute Die Hard Nirvana Fans Like this Vs No I Would Die For Kurt Fans LIKE THAT! These comments read like a bunch of 9 year old fan girls vowing lifetime allegiance to Beiber, Backstreet Boys, BRITNEY, NKOTB, Poision. Skantlessly cringe.

    They could have got a disco drummer and did just as well.

    Honestly, this makes me see the unsent letters that have surfaced over the years in a completely different light, not only with Kurt’s mental health problems, stress, drug abuse and just being a normal human (we say things we don’t mean sometimes) I can remember many times saying things to people whether I meant it or not afterward reconciling and wishing I could take it back, so while I think it is very likely the band would have still broken up, I don’t think the three of them would have hated each other for very long, even with miss loves interfering, and seeing how she is even reconciled with Dave today I don’t think things would have been as bad as a lot of fans like to speculate, especially the ones who only like Kurt out of everyone in the group so only ever paint him in a positive light in comparison to the others involved in the story.

    Ow yeah. I really forgot what is mentioned in the comments. It wasn't just Dave's drumming, but also his backing vocals that really added to Nirvana's music. Chad Channing was also great in my opinion.

    cannot be understated? no... cannot be "overstated" would be the correct way to say that.

    There is nothing we can do to stop
    What happened, we should move on from kurt’s death. I know it’s sad but it’s just profiting on his life.

      @Erika Ives here is the problem with you, all you want is to believe that kurt was murdered and you want everyone else to believe your opinion even if it’s wrong. You go into arguments with a closed mindset not wanting to here anyone else’s views, please change your habits before you talk about a serious matter like this 😔

      Everyone needs to STFU but the smart chick. Im tired of all these stupid sleepers who think Cobain's case is just a clean cut suicide. Never believe the mainstream narrative on this kinda stuff especially when the crime scene and case was so covered up. Thats pretty common sense but you people are so fried on your McDonald's and social media.
      Everyone talks about him being a happy guy except Courtney. Also you can look it up Courtney's father was a very high ranking MK Ultra agent working for the CIA. The murder is much deeper than just Courtney and if Cobain did suicide it was only to escape the slave hold the illuminanti had over him. He was definitely MK ultraed at some point and not only on herion but forced on all kinds of drugs to make him more compliant. So if he did suicide he is a hero not a depressed person

      @@creativeasshole5673 he literally tried to kill himself in 1982, so don’t tell me the second he met Courtney it started to go downhill. He had MASSIVE problems, why won’t you accept that. I know this isn’t linked to this case but when famous musicians die and are married the conspirators always presume that the person they are married too is responsible for their death. Also devoting your life to kurt’s death is just sad, you will most likely never find definitive evidence to prove your point, it won’t change anything for you.

    Truth is Kurt never really liked Dave. That’s the truth. They were not buds. And Dave is replacing Taylor with Travis Barker for the 2023 World Tour, developing TMZ

    "Novoselic, Grohl, and The Bad Communicator" 🤣🤣🤣 Like those 👕 with Name, Name, & Name everywhere now - Kurt's sense of humor is so often overlooked or misunderstood.
