Nirvana - Early Video 1988 - News Clip from 1994

[alicenchains7]

How early 90s. And cheesy! But yeah, a piece of history. And wow, Courtney is a weirdo.

[TheLizandLayShow]

Huh...I didn't know those suicide hotlines really existed...her hair looks retarded

[nhoodfan]

So Kurt became a ginger because of drugs?

[MrAngelo2567]

it wasnt fucking drugs it was fame stupid ass bitch

[TSgtMeddle]

Drugs didn't kill him, a shotgun did.

[Stonedead1991]

The lady speaks too much. 

[XxWillScarletSoundxX]

Go fuck yourself,lady. ._.

[guitarman9428]

i dont know about you guys but i thought it was funny when kurt jumped out of nowhere in 1:09.lol

[PAULisDEADMANnumber9]

People make it look like the drugs were what killed him, that is partially true, but people ignore the fact that he was a deeply troubled soul, and had bad depression. People always look at you for the bad things that you do, when they should look at the good.

[JLennonOno]

whos that cock sucking pooboy who comes so close to a murderer and talks about the death of a rock god like about the pants of his grandma ??

[sigourney17]

nooooo nooo!!! Stupid idiot!!! Should not have given it to Courtney Love!!! now we'll never see the footageeee

[1234bellamy]

The song is "if you must"

[Velheim1334]

That song isn't paper cuts. Its "If you must". Kurt hated that song. Personally, I love it.

[leminyelloblak]

@Velheim1334 part of this clip does include "Paper Cuts"... the parts where the drummer is banging really hard on the snare and tom simultaneously is "Paper Cuts". If you listen really close, it shifts between the two songs.

[oakforestboys]

She's so fake so are ur tears u bitch

[chrisdmets1]

It's fucking crazy it feels like just yesterday I had lunch over at kurts house and he introduced me to his crew way before nirvana started when we were both 19 now I look back for the hundredth time and still can't believe one of the greatest and one of my friends is dead .....

[stoopiddub333]

@chrisdmets1 that sucks man. there s local band from around here that me n my band use to share a storage unit that got pretty big called Duburbia. but jay killed himself also. kinda weird looking back on it because the guy was so musical and sorta larger than life, and me and my bandmates use to hang with those dudes all the time...

[wilfwilfman]

soul destroyed by drugs. ouch.

[BigCheeseMC26280]

This shit better end up on a box set DVD. Dale Crover!

[wiggpusha]

where is this video?

[JrNapalm01]

@wiggpusha

In Courtneys basement.

[brokenwings41]

love cobain love the song papercuts great song if you werent around in the early 90's you wont truly know there impact on the world asfar as if courtney killed him i dont know i know he swallowed so many pills the week or so b4 his death i do know i miss him and his music alternative,grunge watever u want 2 call it i loved it rip kurt

[tabrisbiebr20098]

Shes a bitch

[reissue]

I love this video. Total fuckin' comedy.

[gwilliam96]

I really would have just punched her in the face if I was the camera man! Just hearing those words would have set me off

[webmaster8040]

"before Cobains soul had been destroyed by drugs"? did she really just say that? was she really allowed to say that? that doesnt seem like the kind of thing somebody should be allowed to say.

i think it was the matter of fact tone that bugged me the most though. we could have endless hours of debate on the subjects of drugs and souls and she just threw it out there like a statistic or something.

personaly i think thats compleatly out of line and disrespectful to his memory.

[MrCockSlut]

was christ playing bass with out a strap standing up !

[BozilovDragan]

Its Paper CutS ...and that song isnt Paper Cuts ...its If You Must...but nevermind :D, nice video....

[95BillyG]

his soul was destroyed by drugs? DUMB B*TCH

[RadiotapeStar]

@hakonvar In my opinion I think that is crap, he was a person that wanted people like her to notice him so badly. I think he killed himself to be immortalized, not due to depression.

[clydefrog217]

i actually want to kill whoever wrote the words that the lady is reading out. such fucking bullshit.

[Iwillrockuresocksoff]

Btw first of all this is If You Must not paper cuts, and I read that in this video, they're not actually playing, just miming over the track they recorded for their demo, found on wtlo.

[KurdtKobain09]

@Iwillrockuresocksoff No, they are actually playing. I own the demo of "If You Must" and it does not sound like this. And, they do play "If You Must" But if you listen closely, WHILST the news reporter is talking, they are playing "Paper Cuts". I guess the news reporter just got the timing wrong.

[ih8ericthemidget]

THAT VOICE

[TheSensitiveBuffalo]

@hakonvar exactly man.

[punkker666]

i wish the bitch would shut up and just play the video

[IllusionTomX]

It's not papercut it's If you must

[letragique1969]

I think somebody should kill Courtney, so we´ll can have all nirvana and kurt's stuffs for us... Just saying

[SuperMegabar]

@letragique1969 *facepalm* That's not how it works dumbass...

[KurdtKobain09]

I just noticed the kit Dale used in the record store looks similar to the kit Dave used in the "Heart Shaped Box" video

[guitar19904]

this version of if you must is the best, it so basey and moody but the FUCKING news reporter doesnt shoosh

[shengges]

'thx for the vid... but i gotta go and get another shot in my arm'

[pacomisterio]

Fuck!! Cobain playing (If you must) from WTLO at 1:58 !!! Incredible!!!

[rancidmilk169]

before drugs destroyed his soul. fuck her

[1Sifting]

@rancidmilk169 na this is a long time ago. Shes prolly fat now.

[mudfly3]

@raven2783 yeah that's right

[mudfly3]

@raven2783 oops, you´re right, but in the video it isnt paper cut you hear......

[mudfly3]

paper cut IS NOT ON BLEACH

[missy10257]

so sad... :(



[johnkiedis27]

does anyone know if theres a video of this performance alone with out the news part?

[bekahsaurusrex14]

"before his soul was destroyed by drugs"? his SOUL? the fuck is wrong with this lady

[werebear41]

both songs are featured. at 1.33 it's paper cuts, whenever else it's if you must

[G5Vlad]

isn't the song If you must not Paper cuts?

[ChebbsMastaFlex]

that bitch is fugly news reporter bitch lolol

[razlindez]

soul destroyed by his wife more like

[jimmyredpant]

i swear that isnt paper cuts. that song is rawww, and that sounded nothing like it. and cheers for the 5 seconds of that actual video where we could be certain

[triclops8]

@jimmyredpant The song that´s played before the little sample of "Paper Cuts" is called "Happy Hour", at least on the bootleg I´m having it on.

[pedgaladnh]

@GrungeTheMusic Don't you think it's funny how a couple months after Kurt's death, Kristen Pfaff (bassist from hole) died in a similar way? What about Eldon Hoke, who was also killed shortly after publicly stating that Courtney offered him 50k to do it? Or the immense number of people who publicly say that Kurt was murdered that knew him (ie Greg Sage, Leland Cobain, Kim Gordon, Rosemary Carrol, etc)? Hell, even Frances Cobain thinks Courtney is full of shit to the point of getting a restrain

[thomasjeeh]

before cobains soul had been destroyed by drugs?

[fubarthekow]

Damn news reporter its IF YOU MUST

[axelsteel05]

That song isn't Paper Cuts... It's If you must. Gah. Nonfans.

[yoyovec]

We, we the people killed him....

[floopydudeProduction]

the dude should have kept the video cause courtney wants to kept everything of kurt from the public

[MonaghanFilms]

courtney def hired a hitman to kill kurt

[MonaghanFilms]

courtney der hired a hitman to kill kurt

[sexyminexy]

UM EXCUSE ME COURTNEY KILLED HIM YOU NOOBS

[hippypower69]

FUCK YOU courtney and your band suckSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[wojtek0000]

Courtney: "what the f*** is this tape....let's go shoot this shit we got."

[wojtek0000]

Obviously a Christian News Network.

[codyahernek]

@wojtek0000 obviously you're a dumb ass.

[wojtek0000]

@codyahernek Religious freak.

[codyahernek]

@wojtek0000 yea i guess you could say that lol. i'm a freak... and i'm religious. but i'm not really a freak about religion. i'm still some what aggravated that you associate my entire religion with this retarded reporter though.

[MrBEB123]

Thumbs up on Aberdeen, thumbs down on Nirvana.

[fossilbox1991]

that dude never had to search for that tape. he had it waiting as soon as nevermind was released lol

[zippywaite]

Look at Dale nail those fucking drums.

[Dark94Slayer]

whats the number again

='(

[mrshnarfles]

FUCK YOU COURTNEY!

[jacobladders]

its the misuse of drugs we have to be aware of if you're gonna use em in the right manner thats good as long as you can use them in moderation but if you start misusing drugs in the wrong way and having bad trips then its time to stop.end of story

[bobek3x]

That dude is such a dick.

[wtf6168]

before is soul was destroyed by drugs...... shut up you cunt jk

[pedskon]

why do they play if you must when they say they recorded papercut?

[KurdtKobain09]

@pedskon They did both. Only the dude is talking during paper cut(s) and the audio isn't too great so you may have not noticed it.

[pedskon]

@KurdtKobain09 your right. Great video anyways.

[BayouBluesMan]

corny media shit , everybody knows KURT WAS ATTACKED BY THE MEDIA HYPE every single day , they called him a junky , a homo , u name it , this ultimately led to the state trying to get custody of their child, now name ONE human being that would cope all this and not fall into heavy depression , for me the MEDIA WHORES KILLED HIM and then feasted on his death like the crows on heart shape box video

[BayouBluesMan]

@BayouBluesMan U can see that things started to get him from the mtv awards speech...

[heartshapednirvana]

If in this 'first' taped video of them performing he wuz 20something, it's not the first. I just got done watching him play at krist's mom's house wen he wuz only 19 w// black hair

[NuggetPumpkin]

courtney was still very attractive before all her plastic surgery. let's all write her some honest nice fan mail and get some more unreleased stuff made available.

[directionnnn]

i bet frances didn't even see the fucking video.

[SaintMagdiel]

wait what year did dave ghrol join nirvana?

[exovoxrock]

You mean when Kurt's soul was destroyed by the Illuminati. Get the facts straight lady.

[FloydTh3Barb3r]

thats right folks, 1-800-448-3000

[djlonghairs]

@FloydTh3Barb3r lol right on...

[ADOPTmeBITCH]

that looked corny

[simpsonNirvana94]

the dude who got rid of the tape is a dumbass. no one will EVER see that tape again ,because courtney owns everything and kurt's rights. who know what stuff of kurt is left that we haven't heard.

[mrpresident4200]

@simpsonNirvana94

I agree with you,I hope he was smart enough to make a copy for himself

[akecleon1]

@simpsonNirvana94 well you could ask krist on twitter...

[ocerinland]

@simpsonNirvana94 You don't think he gave her just a copy? He owns the tape, not Courtney.

[dunkaero]

@simpsonNirvana94 he would be smarter if he gave it to you right ?

[simpsonNirvana94]

@dunkaero

I'd rip it to my computer and put it on the internet where fans could rejoice and enjoy.

[GDscissorhandedgurl]

Fuck you anchorwoman and network. Destroyed his soul?

You destroy souls every day of your life by constantly reminding the world of how shitty people can be.

[arealOpia1991]

who was that lady courtney was with ??

[gar992000]

i love how the reporters think they no what theyre talking about and make it seem like Kurt was such a depressed unhappy individual when on the real side of things he was happy just as much as everyone else is... haha morons...  cool video btw

[eatrocksah]

cuntney love

[NuggetPumpkin]

wanna see that whole video

[mybalzurchin]

He reminds me a bit of Dave Mustaine in his early days.

[interpolnarc]

FUCK THE NEWS REPORTER WHO SAID KURT'S SOUL WAS DESTROYED.

[CheckOutMyToys]

The song they were playing was If You Must, how id you get this dude?

[smeltdippins]

She and that other girl had just got back from copping some dope and they were on there way inside to fix, she was obviously strung out and numb as hell, and her reaction was anything but thankful she didnt even care. i think she probably assumed he wanted something, why cant she kill herself too?

[BayviewFinch]

@smeltdippins - Blah blah blah.

[skate26boarder]

@raven2783 hahaha im laughing because the satan is there lord thing but what your saying is sad and the truth...

[adabuensuceso]

what a bootleg. great man

[Tapicero111]

can u shut the fuckup i wanna hear it!!!!!!!!

[superganjaaaa]

holy shit courtney looks like a freak

[victorwhogo]

The archive footage is pretty cool but the journalist approach really sucks

[csnu5]

i think the newsreader's got no idea on how to shutup so we can hear the video properly

[TheSeattlegreen]

MAN THOSE BITCHES SHOWED ABSOLUTY NO GRATITUDE 4 THAT VIDEO FROM THAT IDIOT....KURT SAID IT BEST...O WELL WHATEVER NEVERMIND

[EngineOfRuin]

This guy was so fucking stupid.

Why did he give it to her ?

Unbelievable. Really, so damn stupid. 

[Telecaster9543]

Poor Kurt wasn't depressed, he was murdered

[PirateRupert]

ugh, thats not paper cuts you twat

[THEjase23]

oh yea courtney rocks

[THEjase23]

his soul wasn't destroyed by drugs!

[Vindicta15]

It's "If You Must" not "Paper Cuts"... xD

[TyL3r2095]

epic

[panicoanimal]

THAS WAS FRANCES?

[directionnnn]

@panicoanimal no. frances was a baby..

[halifuckinfan]

"Before his soul had been destroyed by drugs" *Shakes head*

Dismissive bitch is dismissive!

[robertwc82]

oh how i hate the retarded pretencious media and it hasnt changed one bit

[guilhermecarneiro1]

is it dave foster?

[thegreatfantastic]

I think the drugs had something to do with his behavior, life. Drugs do affect the way people think and behave.Why do people think that taking drugs is acceptable?

[super1spanker]

the song is really "if you must" by the way. bitch news lady...

[alexis9161]

Me and my wife Lill where there on the day at Seattle Center Mourning the passing of Kurt Cobain. That day was hard, hard to believe he was gone :(

[MrRiley909]

Rare interview of Kurt and Krist watch?v=fZ_taL3pWcs

[trevornish000]

its if you must

[Grunge00125]

cool vid :)

[HahaIPownedYou]

before his soul was destroyed by drugs... oh my word. drugs are bad... we get it. give it a rest.

[MrPeiceofmind666]

@HahaIPownedYou drugs are good people have to stimulate there minds some how from the brainwash

[aPandorasboxofmusic]

@HahaIPownedYou Kurt Cobain said himself that drugs destroy your personality, destroy your self esteem, and repel your loved ones.

[ShoeStare]

Just to clarify. The first song is called 'If you must'

[timninerell]

the fuckin news reporter talks the whole time during the 'early 1988 video'

[LaynesAddiction]

BOYS TOWN NATIONAL HOTLINE actually works haha

[poisonspider89]

if everyone did thier homework they would know that kurt was not killed by coartney love just read his own words the conspiracy's are bullshit people buying hype from others that dont know jack who arnt even fans I love nirvana and hole the wipers rule

[monatoetje]

he should put the video on youtube

[PECTOMAN]

Hell yeah!! :D

[FlipperBabies470]

Dude Courtney probably threw it away right when she got inside, knowing her. But, she could still have it. I don't hate her, I don't belive in all the "Courtney killed Kurt" conspiracy bullshit, that's just the kind of person she is, you know?

[666AcidFreak]

courtney is not faking.....thats real emotion....have u seen tiger woods apologize????thats fake

[kurtcourtney67]

True. Courtney didn't hire somebody to murder Kurt. She loved him so badly. And he did too.

[LaynesAddiction]

i wish everyone else would realize that they loved each other more then anything, it pisses me off how courtney is treated and how it oviously radiates onto frances.

[kurtcourtney67]

@LaynesAddiction True.

[beAVENeasy]

@LaynesAddiction that name kicks ass and fuck news reporters

[LaynesAddiction]

@beAVENeasy thanks dude, and yes fuck news reporters !

[DethklokNirvana]

lol someone should call that number at the end

[Adefesio94]

MMM... good actress... for a porn movie xD.. MIDLF! :s

[Nirvana25100]

Basaja123 shut the fuck up, you don't know shit about kurts life so just shut the fuck up

[spanishnavax]

How can you say Courtney is faking?? man you don't know her neither you knew Kurt so you shouldn't talk like that.. Kurt was human just like you and me, he had feelings you know and he wouldn't like some to talk about his wife that way, so have a little respect.

[basaja123]

Lol kurt wanted this video recorded in the store to air on MTV because he thought it the only way for them to get popular quickly.. and drugs didnt do anything, he always wanted to kill himself after becoming a star

[pedgaladnh]

wow courtneys obviously faking

[Travass83]

theres no truth to kurts death

[omgnuub]

his soul been destroyed by drugs? mehehe soul? theres no soul.

[Julian24151]

There were 2 songs in that vid, one was paper cuts and one was If you must

[cloud9backpacker]

"before Cobain's soul had been destroyed by drugs" - that's like something of 'Chris Morris's The Day Today '(youtube it if you want a laugh at the falseness of media presentation)

[powertrust71]

so true..nice comment

[ilikeatarinerd]

what kind of guitar is kurt playing in the video

[665nxtdoortothedevil]

It's a Univox Hi-Flyer.... It's a copy of a Mosrite, they come up on Ebay quite alot....

[kcin1004]

that is 'if you must'

[JackHauss]

Courtney probably threw the tape out as soon as she turned the corner.

[davegsucks]

she probably had kept it to get money from it and become the rich bitch she is

[chunk1bunk]

newslady needs to shut da fuck up

[mikejackson4ever]

His "rebellious sound"? Who the fuck does she think she's talking about: the Beatles?! He wasn't rebelling- he was indicting hypocrites, hippiecrites, and the religiously half-hearted-and-minded.

[jazzin77]

1:28 to 1:57 was papercuts
