But if someone was there first with a life threatening illness a celeb came in, he wouldn't jump the line. Do you realize the legal risk for a hospital if a patient died because someone jumped in front of him because of being a singer?

      Couldn't agree more. I remember when Pat joined Nirvana and automatically accepting him like he'd been in the band all along. They couldn't have picked a more perfect guy and even though technically he was only a touring guitarist, he was only in the band for around 6 months when Kurt died. But I still think of Pat as an official member.

Their music is timeless, you can't say the same from other bands from the 90s and even early 2000s. Some of that stuff sounds old now, but Nirvana sounds like they could be around today and still be just as popular.

    The best thing Kurt did by getting Pat into the band was to save him from obscurity, because at that time Pat was a "might-have-been" after the Germs and his stint with Nina Hagen Pat Smear was no more than a footnote working at a record store.
    Which is where he met Kurt Cobain, Kurt invited Pat over to Seattle to join Nirvana but to actually get there, Pat had to sell all his guitars since he didn't have a pot to piss in. So when he arrived in Seattle and Kurt learned about his poverty, he pushed two things into Pat's hands, a blue Mosrite guitar and a Nirvana credit card. Further salvation came when Fender got an endorsement deal going with the band and a whole crate of Stratocasters was delivered to Pat's apartment.
    So what did Pat bring to the band? Punk credibility for one but also a much thicker sound, Kurt and Pat's guitar styles are very similar, look up the Rock N Roll hall of fame performance, Pat's playing almost makes you forget that it isn't Kurt on guitar.

    • @RastaSaiyaman
      @RastaSaiyaman 7 лет назад +70

      Oh really?
      Dave and Pat talked about how Kurt met Pat in a record store where he was working in the "Dave Grohl and Pat Smear look up David Bowie's old hang out spots" playboy TV special.
      In the 2011 "wasting light" guitar world interview Pat said that he had to pawn all his guitars to buy an airline ticket to get himself to Seattle. In that interview he mentions the Nirvana Credit card and the Blue Mosrite guitar. Look up Nirvana's 1993 performance on SNL and there's Pat playing the blue Mosrite.
      In that same interview he also said that through the endorsement deal he was given three brand new Custom shop Stratocasters for stage use, look up 'MTV's live and loud' and you will see Pat playing those.
      But when Kurt and Pat engaged into the destruction act, the rep from Fender was "Don't trash them, trash these!" and a whole crate of Mexican made Fenders were delivered to where Pat was staying. Pat said in the interview that he liked those cheaper Mexican Fenders better than the USA made custom ones.
      So, where exactly did I get it wrong then as I'm basically quoting Pat Smear himself?

      He didn't, the Germs never toured and only played shows in LA and their sole album, although a cult classic, was by no means a million seller. Pat didn't even own a guitar during the Germs' existence, always relying on loaners to play the shows.
      By the time the band was gaining some momentum thanks largely to "The decline of Western civilization" which featured live footage from The Germs and interviews with Pat and Darby Crash, the band already had decided to break up.
      Darby Crash committed suicide soon after the Germs played their last show in order to bring the band under attention of a larger crowd. as in "have you heard about that guy having died and he was so young, but his music will live on." Crazy, I know but that actually might have worked if it weren't for the fact that John Lennon was murdered the day after Darby's death.
      After the Germs dissolved Pat Smear played with Nina Hagen and recorded two solo albums but they didn't go anywhere, as I stated before, it was thanks to Kurt Cobain asking him to join Nirvana that people went "Oh, it's that guy from the Germs, what an awesome band they were."
      Again, all of this comes from Pat's own mouth as he mentions all of it in different interviews.

      There aren’t many interviews from Krist Dave and Pat about Kurt from the 90s or the 2000s. They really didn’t begin speaking about him for about 20 years because of how heavy the subject is for them specifically. This is one of the first interviews where they openly speak about those last few months and interactions with Kurt in 1994. What Kurt did broke them too.

It was not an accident and there was a note. Dave and Krist accept the truth. Grant never met him. Dylan Carlson said, "He couldn't find his own ass with a map." He was supposed to be a detective. Are you even old enough to remember Kurt when he was alive. I bet you weren't. You trust slimy cops ans authority figures more than Kurt's band mates and friends. Are you a Trump supporter?

Every single “smoking gun” in that documentary has been debunked and logically countered a million times over. Kurt would likely hate the disrespectful and degrading comments toward Courtney, as well as the general sheep mentality, so it’s ironic the conspiracy people think they are sticking up for him or somehow honoring his memory. 🙄

      All Courtney Love did was giving Morgen access to Cobain’s personal possessions, it was up to him what to do with it. Why would he be biased, what would he gain by that? In fact there is no bias at all, because the film just shows footage, without any comment. It just rolls over you like an ocean. It's one of the strongest qualities of the film, it's one long celebration of Kurt Cobain's legacy.
      As for Soaked in Bleach, I just found this tweet (which is new to me but speaks volumes): www.alternativenation.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/novoselicbleach.png . Somehow I have more confidence in the opinion of people who actually knew Kurt (and Courtney), than in some guy who played no part in their lives and clearly didn't have a clue who they were exactly.

I just want Seattle to reopen the case and take a hard look at new evidence and actually take their time with it. Doubt it'll ever happen because it looks bad on a department to overturn a previous call on such a high profile case. Have you watched Kurt and Courtney yet? Documentary by Nick Broomfield. Take a listen to what Eldon Hoke AKA El Duce says about Courtney offering him money to kill Kurt. He also passed a polygraph and was later found dead on the railroad tracks in Riverside CA. Supposedly by accident, but last person he was with was Allen Wrench, the guy Eldon said killed Kurt.....

    • @joanne1114
      @joanne1114 7 лет назад +2

      Yes, I've seen the documentary and I'm aware of all the evidence. A lot of it is circumstantial (or not even that, just Tom Grant's interpretation of a certain look or remark) and what is not circumstantial (handwriting suicide note, position of the gun, the amount of heroin in his blood) has been refuted by experts. It just rather feels like a witch-hunt to me than like a proper investigation.

    I went into this video expecting it to be full of info that I’ve heard in other Kurt Cobain videos before (and in some ways it was). But for some reason, it ended up being one of the most heart-wrenching videos that I’ve seen about him. The way Dave and Pat describe their last encounters with Kurt, left me feeling emotional. It really made me feel for Kurt, and for all of those affected by his death. Such a tortured soul, who left us way too soon.

    So, a month..maybe two after Kurt died ,Maybe 3 month after..I can't quite remember, I read shit loads of amount of evidence that stacked up against Courtney that she killed Kurt..knowing already at the time that Kurt wanted a divorce from her.I remember reading the amount of heroin in his system (enough to kill a horse!! let alone a human!), and then taking a shotgun and shooting yourself???? yeah even at age of 16 at the time that never made sense to me how that is possible! Now nearly 25 years later it still doesn't make sense to me!..and not just to me but to people in that field as well..SCIENTISTS, it's been labeled as impossible! You Know what makes it more impossible for anyone with a brain-cell to label it as suicide? It is the fact that all the evidence to Kurt's so called "suicide" is that every piece of evidence was packed away and they were no traces of fingerprints on all the vital pieces of evidence (Shotgun, needles, syringe case, anything he would have needed to touch at the time) it was all wiped clean!!...after you've shoot yourself while stupidly high on heroin! i think it's going to be impossible to be able to wipe all fingerprints off and pack everything away don't you? YEAH that alone screams out murdered! how are people so dumb to not see this? including Dave Grohl!..now maybe Dave is saying "killed himself" so Courtney doesn't try suing him again?,But to everyone else? come on, It's quite clear that he was murdered!.. Like i said the heroin alone would have killed him pretty within 5 /10 min anyway..if not sooner than that,He'd have lost all sense of feeling and strength in his body too..so how could he pick up the gun?? It was 3 times the lethal dose fuck sake! And lets not get into the fact Courtney tried hiring El Duce to kill Kurt , but he refused and was around 3 later on found dead after telling interviewers about Courtney trying to hire him. Come on wake up!

      Rodzilla- They is no "Oh please " about it! they are the facts!!
      Ghostfood777 - I do remember Rome and the whole rehab, but he also did interviews after all that saying it was a big mistake and that he was sorry for attempting to do so.. and that he wanted to be around for Frances, and he never felt better about being alive. Maybe he was just bullshitting the press into thinking he wasn't suicidal anymore who knows? but they was his words. If Courtney didn't kill him then she know damn well who did.
      Technimechanical - Exactly of cause you would, all the experts have said this..not to mention ex users gave their input and said the same thing.
      I think, we're all missing the link that doesn't tie this chain together properly... How did all those fingerprints from all the vital piece of evidence get removed if they wasn't someone else involved? It's impossible to do it yourself once shooting yourself. Right? They is one way you can can trap Courtney still to this day and that is getting her to do a lie detector and ask her..
      Did you kill Kurt Cobain?
      Do you know who did kill Kurt Cobain?
      Did you have something do with the death of Kurt Cobain? ect
      Nobody seemed to give her a lie detector though, I'm damn certain she killed Kurt, or had something to do with it.. It all adds up and points towards her.
      They was going to get a divorce, constantly arguing, Stagnant relationship,it was over in Kurt's eyes..He wanted out of the marriage. and Courtney knows she's nothing without Kurt, So with Kurt out of the picture (dead) she gets everything he had.. Why would she not want him dead?

Begged and begged for them to let him play a song on stage with them. The hulkster was extremely drunk at the time to the point where he couldn't stand. Kurt was like no way dude. The same thing happened at another gig, Kurt was again like no way man. Hulk was on his knees begging, aw cmon man, give me the Mexicans guitar and was forever classified by nirvana fans as a racist for calling pat smear "the Mexican". There are other stories of the hulk and his racist comments, these are for you to find out.
    Please bear in mind, this is not an accurate retelling of the story, there may be mistakes so need for the usual RUclips insults. It's just a version of what I remember reading about years ago. If anyone wants to search online, I'm sure you'll find the proper story.

I had a friend take his own life a few years back as well. It’s still hard to believe that he’s gone. But even though your friends life was cut short, you can’t fault yourself by saying you were never there. There was likely nothing more you could do.

      for those who don't accept Kurt was murdered, i implore you to look at the evidence and decide for yourself. the coroners reports, the scene photos, his wife's motives for doing so... the list goes on man.
      Kurt wouldn't have committed suicide for one reason and one reason only, which you can find out in his home videos, and that reason is his kid. there's not a person i've met who can watch that and still say he's fucked up enough to kill himself. kurt's history (before the kid was born) was used as a cover for the crime. even if courtney is responsible and regrets it, if she's sorry, it's not going to take away the fact he was murdered. hell, even if she's innocent, that doesn't detract from the suspicious circumstances and clear evidence Kurt wouldn't have, and couldn't physically kill himself. i've read his journals more times than i can count, there isn't much there to suggest mental breakdowns or any indication he contemplated suicide.
      kurt had some medical problems, doctors never helped and heroin alleviated his symptoms, he didn't take it to get high, he took enough to keep his symptoms at bay while he toured, and when he wasn't touring he was begging for medical help. unless i can be convinced otherwise, i'll judge the death of kurt on the shit i've read, seen, heard and deduced from the evidence. suicide is almost impossible if you look at it yourself, that and the police refused to make public any clear evidence of his suicide for far too long.

    I remember seeing Pat Smear on mtv unplugged back in the day. Didn't know who he was. I'll forever see nirvana as a 4 piece now because that's how it was.

    The "Rome incident" was NOT a suicide attempt, it was only Courtney Love who intentionally fed that rumour to the media as a part of trying to create this false story of Kurt being suicidal. And we all know where this all eventually ended up... JUSTICE FOR KURT COBAIN - WATCH #SOAKEDINBLEACH ...RIP KC

    He wasn't protected in his teens, he doesn't know how to protect himself as he entered the adulthood. So painful.

    That stupid "headline lollapalooza" bullshit is to blame. He wanted to just chill and give up on music for a while. It's true, at 27 it's your last year for songwriting as an art form.

      You have to understand that Kurt was fighting a battle within himself all his life. Blaming it on any one thing isn't the answer.

      Christopher Wackrow the lollapalooza intervention was bullshit. No one understood he didn't want to do that. Obviously he wasn't happy with what was going on. Listen to "you know you're right." It's the last track they recorded and it's pretty garbage. Kurt exhausted his creativity for that time being.

      There is such a thing as music burnout. Not everyone needs to be a "lifer" in the creative music game. Creating Nevermind was enough, then In Utero, enough was enough. Take time off and recharge batteries. Not pressure to headline something that's going to make him even more self-conscious. The drug habit didn't help.
