  • LOL at all you people crying about Kurt's height.

  • Everyone's tall when you're on your knees haha! Love ya Scott!

  • Kurt talks about meeting him in an old interview with Nardwar. Annoying interview to watch... but its funny cause kurt keeps using a table cloth as a napkin. Sounds retarded but its funny to see.

  • krist was tall not kurt

  • This guy is full of shit.  Kurt wasn't tall > > > PLUS >> Gretzky was with the LA Kings in 94. His career with the Oilers ended in 88 (correct me if I'm wrong). Cheers

  • @99redrain in another video thompson says it was the la kings

  • This guy can't even say the band name right....Nirvana

  • Wow, he must have been drunk to remember Kur as being tall...Kurt was only 5'6.

  • @inhalcyonn No he wasn't 5'6, he gives the impression of being short because of Krist Novoselic's huge size(6'8) and also Dave is slightly taller than him @ 6'1. He was stated as 5'10 in legal documents.

  • @inhalcyonn There is some dispute about Kurt's height, but he was not 5'6". He was between 5'7" and 5'9". In pictures of the band, he is about three inches shorter than Dave Grohl, who is 5'11".

  • @inhalcyonn nope, he was 5'9'' just skinny

  • Fuck all you faggots who can't respect Scott Thompson. Kurt would fucking hate you assholes.

  • Tall?!  Seriously??? Anyone who knows anything about Kurt knows that he was barely above 5' tall...

  • @LNDJET no he was really tell in RL... it was Surprising i saw him live

  • Kurt Cobain was about 1,70 m, I don't know what that is in feet!

  • Look at all the butthurt Nirvana fans, haha. Silly little children. He's dead, their music was great, and that's it. Unless you had the chance to meet him before he died, then shut your mouth about Scott "getting his facts wrong", as you couldn't prove it anymore than he can.

    Thumbs up if Scott Thompson brought you here, and Not Kurt Cobain..

  • @anautumnprayer calm down jeez...we are connected. ur obviously not

  • @anautumnprayer thumb whore

  • @anautumnprayer i am a looong time kids in the hall fan and a looong time nirvana fan so this is pretty awesome, and for all the stupid people who always have to be right about shit they know NOTHING about. scott was 100% telling the truth. in the nardwar vs nirvana interview filmed in vancouver early in january of 94, kurt cobain confirms that he had met up with scott at the nirvana show and hung out with him afterwords. not that i wouldn't have taken scott's word!!! anyway cheers!

  • @anautumnprayer Tell it like it is brother!

  • This guy is a liar...

    1. Kurt Cobain didn't drink because of his stomach pains

    2. Kurt Cobain was NOT tall, he had scoliosis which made him shorter then his usual height (5'9") unless this guy was shorter then him then I could see why...

    3. he wasn't a big guy either, he was scrawny for his age

  • @kurtcobainluver27 So that makes him a liar? Just because what he's saying, maybe isn't spot on? OH SHUT UP YOU TOOL. Have you met Kurt? Or Scott? Highly fucking doubt it. So shut your fucking ignorant mouth because you clearly are talking out of your fucking asshole. He's NOT a liar you tard.

  • @kurtcobainluver27 He didn't specifically say Kurt drank... he said "we drank." For instance, if someone asked me what me and my friends did last night I might say "oh we sat around and drank." That doesn't mean every person there was drinking.... and the size thing? Perhaps he was just taller/bigger than Scott expected. Big deal.

  • this dude is such a fuckin lier

  • HMMM , gretzky was'nt an oiler in 1994 ( the year kurt died ) , He was traded to the kings in 1989 !!

  • @smyth994 In another interview, with all the Kids in the Hall, he says it was Wayne Gretzky and other members of the LA Kings, and that they came up on the LA Kings tour bus, I guess Scott must have been confused, after all, when I picture Gretzky, it is always in an Oiler's jersey.

  • This may be a little inappropriate, I dunno, but am I the only one who can't help but imagine Kevin McDonald delivering the "He's dead. He's dead" line in some comical/amusing manner and voice?

  • @Orpheusftw LOL! Inappropriate but right on! In the same manner he shouts "Cat on my head! Cat on my head!"

  • Kurt wasn't that tall. Now Krist on the other hand, he was tall.

  • kurt wasnt that tall he was only between 5'7" and 5'10 but of coarse size dosnt matter

  • NIRVAAAANA

    

  • He's not lying idiots. Kurt Cobain spoke about this himself in the 1994 Nardwar interview.

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme You can "Think" and "Believe" what you want. I know (supported by factual evidence such as video's, Quotes, and Documents) that he was 5'10". I think he might have been joking in that Article you read, or being sarcastic, just fucking with the people interviewing him.

  • @submissivelover kurt cobain was 5'10"? are you fucking kidding me? all you have to do is see any pictures of kurt standing next to people and you will see he's shorter than everybody. seriously theres 100 000 pictures of him on the internet, just find one.

  • @Chunibrow And there is another 100,000,000 that show he is taller then most people...Bro shut the fuck up because you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Also, the Azerrad biography was a fucking piece of shit, NOT ONE PART OF IT WAS reality, ALL that shit was straight up fiction, he just wrote down what people told him and that's the way it was...Azerrad is fucking joke, that's why no one picked up his punk ass book in the first place. I will send you proof kurt was 5'10" Bitch.

  • @submissivelover u mad?

  • @scallywag86 I ain't even mad

    U fag? LoLoLoLzzz

  • @submissivelover glad we`re on the same wavelength

    wanna grab a beer?

  • @scallywag86 Nah, i'm not a drinker. But we can be friends is suppose

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme The ay i find you fighting these documents and FILMED OPINIONS of kurt cobain, s that you are just stubburn and stuck idealizing what this man was.

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme Arched back? WHAT THE FUCK? a whole inch and a half from an "Arched back"? No photo next to Grohl, the MTV Video Music awards acceptant speech, where he stood next to grohl...IDEALIZE, make him fictionally what you envision him to be. You approach from the veiw of a fan, i approach from the view of an objective observer. I have 2 documents supporting his height...AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED YOU aren't showing me any proof, YOU HAVE FAILED TO CHANGE MY MIND.

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme I can only think of Kurt face photo shopped on that Doc Martens add...That's the only time i have seen his face and doc martens together in one picture, stupid ass, Your a joke

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme But that would make him 5'8" -5'9", i don't think his back against the wall gives him an inch, nor do cops measure criminals with there backs against the wall. I have seen him standing next to dave Grohl (6'0") in Converse, and he only appeared to be an Inch or 2 off. I have never seen a picture of Kurt Cobain in DM's, only cheap converse or imitation converse...Don't idealize Kurt Cobain, He was 5'10, Every document says so, EXCEPT YOUR OPINION...Your a joke

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme Don't bring up friends, becuase i have Scott Thompson right here on tape saying he was tall, Courtney Love on document writing he was 5'10, and a police report saying he was 5'10....So don't bring up misconceptions. He didn't purchase Doc Martens, He bought converse and cheap Imitation shoes with little to NO sole on the bottom, versus DM's with 3 inch Heels. That's insane, and please message me the document where he says he is 5'7", because everyone else disagree's

  • Comment removed

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme Look, I sent you a document that had his real height, this debate is Over. Heavier then Heaven is a fantastic Book, I loved it. I though Azerrad's book was OK, but not at all near "Heavier then Heaven" level. idk What Courney's addiction had to do with herself Being able to tell the height of her own husband...for arguement's sake lets say your right, heroine addicts can't tell height, Kurt was a bigger addict then her, how is he a credible source for his own height?

  • Kurt Cobain wasn't tall at all ...

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme Charles R. Cross has even claimed his book to be " claiming that Azerrad wrote the book as a fan and not as an objective observer, which put him in a position to accept myth and hyperbole as fact"...Charles R. Cross is the true Biographer of Nirvana...author of "Heavier then Heaven" and "Cobain Unseen"....and award winning biographer...Universal even choosing his biography to be the movie which is about cobain. LEARN TO READ

  • @submissivelover also charles cross is garbage and Heavier Than Heaven is publicly known (to everyone but you) to be bullshit as he used COURTNEY LOVE and her friends and family for most of the information. Also Charles Cross is friends with Courtney Love, hmm i bet theres no bullshit at all in that book hey?!? Azerrad's is much more objective, putting Cobain in a realistic light the entire time. Seriously shut up you are a fucking moron.

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme I want a motherfucking quote, and i want a page in which he mentions his height to Michael Azerrad.

    I remember the ailments of heroin abuse was being unable to tell the height of another person...of course, stupid me. Obviously her addiction to heroine makes he unable to recognize hieght....because all heroine addicts are unable to tell hieght...YEAH, of course.

    the link on your "website" led to a memorial myspace page in which his height was adressed.

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme LoL a myspace page that has 5'7" on it? Who is Cobain's Biographer? His fucking WIFE said he was 5'10"....Fuck his biographer (Whoever that mad up person may be)...Scott Thompson and Courtney love think this man was 5'10 maybe taller, and they have known him...Yet a myspace page is a more reliable source? Your a fucking moron.

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme I did, and When i google Cobain's Height...The very first thing that comes up is Kurt Cobain height -- 5' 10" According to Celebhieghts website, and Trueknowledge website, imbd website, and 2 other sources which are chacha website and another article in Trueknowledge website. Even see him standing to 6'00" Dave Grohl, he is by least 1 or 2 inches shorter then Dave...You are completely wrong i am not sure what your typing into google?

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme It doesn't say 5'7"

  • Comment removed

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme Even when Kurt got arrested May 25, 1986 for spraypainting "Ain't got no how watchamacallit" on the side of a local Seafirst Bank Building the police listed him at 5'10 asshole....Look at his death certificate on justiceforkurt website....get your fucking facts straight before you talk to me you dumb motherfucker

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme I have read books, he was 5'10 maybe a little bit taller motherfucker...WHO the fuck are you? What motherfucking books is you reading? Type in Kurt Cobains height on google, and right there it says 5'10 you fucking cockface piece of shit loser.

  • Yeah, Here is Kurt mentioning Scott Thompson.

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme

    That's not funny. Learn better jokes

  • @iamaladycanyousaveme What? are you a disgruntled chubby and or fat guy who believes you appear your actual hieght verus a thin man?

  • Its natural instinct to see people you admire or fear for bigger then they really are. He says he was tall because his mind was telling him he was. FACT

  • haha the tall comment is sort of strange because he was the direct opposite...even kim gordon from sonic youth referred to him as a "wee little man" lol

  • Even if he is telling the truth, you can tell Tom Green doesn't believe him with some parts. lol

  • Kurt? Tall? he was only 5"7 not even average height...

  • @PieceofMindmusic Kurt wasnt 5"7...kurt was 5'10...maybe 5'11...its because Krist was 6'7 and dave was 6'1...and physically bigger then him

  • @submissivelover well okay but 5"10 still isnt tall.

  • @submissivelover "Big" just isnt a word i would use to describe Kurt, he was small little feller.

  • @PieceofMindmusic i wouldnt consider him a big dude either...but he wasnt a itsy bitsy guy either. He was amongst average hieght...which is amazing for celebrities. 5'10 is tall somewhat...not towering...but compared to most people he was average hieght...i think scott thompson was fascinated by the fact that he didnt dwarf kurt himself when they first met. Also when you are very thin (like kurt) you can appear taller then a chubby or fat guy standing 5'10 or 5'11

  • Kurt has 176 cm

  • @cogito931

    Sorry, I'll need that in Imperial.

  • @shortylickens69 it's 5,7 ft

  • @cogito931

    I was just kidding. Making a joke about how Canadians have gone metric and its just crazy.

    But thank you.

  • ok oqward

  • this guy has contradicting stories..... what a bullshitter.....kurt wants you to have a picture you aint gonna put it at the back of anyones bar....moron.....

  • 5'9"1/2. and Gretzky was an LA King in 94' the got traded from the Oilers in 88' or 87'

  • and who is Scott Thompson

  • Kids in the Hall, look it up.

  • Kurt was not tall. He was 5,7, maybe 5,8 and weighed 130/135 pounds.

    He was exactly the same height and weight as I am, but I am a woman.

  • he was exactly 5'9" 1/2, google it. he means he thought he was shorter because in all the nirvana photos he is next to Dave Grohl (6'0") & Kirst Novoselic (6'7")

  • You fuckers are stupid. He's telling the truth and it was confirmed by Kurt Cobain. Look up the Nardwar interview.

    Scott and KITH rocks. <3

  • he looked short because chris was 6 7ft tall

  • A big guy!???

  • Kurt was like 5'8 or 5'9! Scott must be really short! hahaha

  • he was 5'10" which in the line of celebrities is tall, trust me

  • scott thompson is lovely

  • hahaha you guys are funny. scott thompson was a part of a fucking awesome sketch comedy show in canada called "kids in the hall" and for those who think he's full of shit about kurt watch the nirvana interview with nardwar in vancouver.....kurt confirms hanging out with scott after the toronto show.

  • he is talking falsely , and out of his ass, because he is Canadian, and doesn't know that Gretzky was traded from Edmonton to LA in 87 and was playing for LA in 94 when Kurt Died.

  • this guys annoying

  • thats a misconception about kurt too, he was nearly 6 foot..

    he looked small next to krist at 6 foot 7. and grohl who was like 6 2?

    but he also hunched and shrewded himself making him appear smaller.

    this is a true story btw.

  • no he wasn't. kurt may have been 5'9 tops and he had scoliosis which made him shorter. he was about 5'7

    krist is 6'7

    dave is 6'

  • you guys!  this is a true story!

    jeez louise!

  • I can't believe people are commenting here that they don't believe this story. What a bunch of fools. So blindsighted by their ludicrous homophobia that they can't appreciate this beautiful recollection. Wow.

  • Agreed......

  • @chevychase its not homophobia you idiot, his facts are wrong. kurt was short, you ever see pictures of him compared to grohl or especially krist?

  • @TheConcreteBalloon Yeah, it's strange to hear someone say Kurt was "tall" and "a big guy" [

  • @TheConcreteBalloon Does it really matter you IDIOT? The fact is, is that he did meet Kurt. Kurt even confirm it in an interview so SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

  • @GetchaPull100 he met kurt yet said he was a tall guy and he drinks which he accordingly never did... and what interview did he confirm it in? id love to see. oh and seriously calm down ur making yourself sound like a dumbass. Unless you got a valid argument then i suggest you shut the fuck up

  • WTF????

  • urs is slightly more believable

  • Nirvahna haha! The entire time the host kept looking at this guy like he's an idiot.

  • he's gay for real. haha.

  • bullshit lol

  • haha bullshit and tom knows it

  • this sounds like a total bs story

  • yea kurt is short dumass

  • who is this guy scott ?

  • the guy from kids in the hall

  • what an incredible fucking story

    wow man

  • Yeah, he actually says he did meet Scott and Lorne Michaels, etc in an interview. It's Nardwuar vs Nirvana part 1.

  • I saw another video of Scott Thompson on stage talking about this except this time he was with the other Kids in the Hall and they clarified it was the LA Kings that pulled up in the bus, not the Oilers. Gretzsky was with the Kings at the time, and Scott Thompson is tiny himself which may be why he thought Kurt was tall. Don't doubt this story at all.

  • do you know who this guys even is?

  • Scott Thompson (the gay guy) from Kids in the Hall.

  • im pretty sure kurt cobains fairly short

  • Gretzky wasnt with Oilers in 94' he was with them many years earlier.

  • kurt cobain wasnt tall....he had to wear layers of clothes just to make him look bigger....

  • @chairboy100 He was very wide and his upper body was built, though skinny. However he was pretty short. Wearing lots of clothes don't make you look any taller.

  • @chairboy100 He wore lots of clothes because he was always self concious about how scrawny he was......and if you read your comment it dosent really make sense.

  • @chairboy100 ehh ... and to make him look less skinny.

  • wow, tom has absolutley no charisma, and no personality at all in this video... he doesnt even seem to care...

  • Sub Pop :/ It was Geffen at the time

  • I met Kurt cobain at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor and he was a little shorter than me, about 5'6

  • kurt was the shortest of all of them, krist is the one whose tall

  • Kurt wasn't tall :\

  • does he need to be tall to be music genius ?

  • Lol no.. but if he's saying he knew Kurt, and said he was tall.. then it kinda confuses me.

  • uh, Scott... cred goes sideways when you say Gretzky steps off the OILERS bus in '94. He was traded to LA in '87. Butthead. Maybe it was the Kings bus in Edmonton. Either way, Scott's Canadian - and he doesn't know this. Wait a tik. He's gay. That explains it

  • Comment removed

  • he is lying

  • Kurt CObain your death will be avenged

  • your gay

  • cloudofpie look yourself in your mirror faget!!huh NO!!...sorry dear bitch!

    celui qui le dis celui qui l'ai !! lol

  • cloudofpie leave me alone you are retarded! you give a fuck for nothing!

  • how old are you twelve?

  • i'm immortal...not one specific age for me! hahah! shut up!!! please...

  • im gunna take that as a yes...

  • prend sa comme tu veux le peddlerS!jmen caliss de toi !

  • ya... your 12

  • ive read quite a few articles saying he was 5'7" and 120lbs

  • nir-Vana. WTF this guy is not very smart..... he even said Kurt was tall.... wtf?

  • Thats how Canadians say Nirvana for some reason.

  • what? no, we don't.

  • Maybe not all of you. A lot of Canadians do.

  • ....tall . for the personnality ..etc

    anyway 5'7 its not short!!

  • well, krist novoselic 6' 7"

  • Something tells me that this guy is lying... because Kurt was not tall... he was like

    5'7... which is about as small as me...

  • i was about to say that. When he said that i said out luod in real life "KURT?!" I dont know what this guy was on

  • Comment removed

  • scott thompson is short

  • Comment removed

  • kurt was not tall more small and thin

    krist novoselic was or is a tall amn nearly the same height as me

  • you might want to check this weirdo's alibi on April 6, 1994 between the hours of 3 & 10 p.m.

  • i think this guy needs better glasses because he blind and pulling things out of his asshole. kurt was not tall, it was krist who was fucking tall.

  • Kurt was tall. Krist is a giant.

  • krist was giant, but kurt was on the shorter side. i keep on seeing 5'7'' in comments and that seems right.

  • Either way, he was short. To some people, a skinny person like Kurt can appear taller than he actually is and as akroyd pointed out, scott is short.

  • scott's short though

  • Kurt is just of average height. If you google it. He's listed as 5'9", while Krist and Dave are 6'7", 6'0" , respectively.

    If you look at videos and pics of Kurt between 1988-1990 he appears a lot taller, around 5'10" to 5'11". He has scoliosis resulting in him shrinking in height.

    BTW speaking of short...cough.. eddie vedd.. cough..vedd... cough... eddie vedderrr,....

  • i mean, yea im 5'10''. kurt wasnt short but by all means but i would not consider him being tall. this guy is acting like kurt was like 7 ft, which is bullshit

  • is this guy seeing things??? lol

    kurt was not tall at all he was a really small guy. Krist was the one that was 6ft 7

  • They one thing that makes no sense about this is that Gretzky was traded Aug 9 1988. Kurt died on April 4 1994. So if the Oilers got off the bus, Wayne would not be with them. Also why would the Oilers be staying at a hotel in Edmonton.

    Perhaps its was the LA Kings who got off the bus and Wayne was going to the hotel. It doesn't seem like Scoot knows a tone about hockey so...

  • i love how delicate and masterful with words scott is..."we hung out and drank and talked...nothing heavy or ugly"...translation-smoked some bud did a line or 2 lol

  • His memory may have been a bit off (surely they got very trashed that night), plus meeting someone like Kurt I could easily see how he thought he was "larger than life" so to speak, but I have no doubts this is true.. Why would Scott lie about something like that? Especially on the Tom Green show lol.

    Tom, do a barrel roll

  • Yeah, Kurt spoke of meeting with Scott. Some people are mathematically challenged. Like me. That's why my gay "brother" advised me to keep a tape measure in my nightstand.

    Lots of celebrities are thought of as tall, when they're not. A larger-than-life thing, maybe.
