  • he implies that the lyrics weren't very important to him but i think thats bullshit. sure, the lyrics rarely had concrete meaning, and people striving to find one are probably wasting their time. ...but that doesn't mean that the lyrics weren't well crafted. if you pay attention to demos and early versions of nirvana songs you'll see that he was constantly altering lyrics. someone that didn't care about lyrics probably wouldn't bother to do that.

  • it sounded good so he went with it..like a last second essay..except he aced it each time he wrote something..

  • @itzamia I'd say he failed. "She has me like a Pisces when I am weak" is just pathetically horrible.

  • Junky looser... Sorry guys but if somebody like this guy walked next to you in the street, you would feel unconfortable... just because this guy made some 3 chords songs doesn' mean he's different. He died because he was weak... and was a heroin junk.

  • @juaobitor he inspired millions upon millions of people and changed the face of music.. not many people do that

  • @juaobitor

    Atleast Kurt did something better than just trolling like you- making some music, for example. Now don't think i'm a Kurt fanboy, 'cause i'm not. I just think you're too insignificant to criticize a man like him.

  • Its a shame more pictures weren't taken that show cased those BEAUTIFUL beautiful Piscean eyes! I was looking for pictures that showed them but the majority is black and white or just doesn't do his eyes justice! Absolutely breath taking! Only a Pisces! hahaha!

  • Happy birthday kurt!

    R.I.P.

  • anyone who says kurt didn't write smells like teen spirit is a gullible ass :L seriously

  • You know guys, I don't go into to much details about Kurts death. I mean, I think it might of been Courtney, or just suiside? Who really knows? I'm not sticking up for Courtney, never >:( but the way that the decetives show it, they make it look like it had something to do with her. It is abit fishy :/

  • @jeanlucpower Well yeah of course it had something to do with her even if she didn't touch him she did emotionally drive him toward suicide

  • i fucking new it!

  • damn it Kurt...why'd you have to kill yourself...miss having you around.

  • @mayo211: KURT WAS MURDERED.

  • @judyleasugar97 Occam's Razor...As Brilliant as he was, he had real problems. I loved him too, but he did kill himself.

  • @mayo211: I agree he was hyper sensitive and things affected him deeply. But there is evidence he was off of drugs in '94 and doing better mentally. You should look at the websites cobaincase and justiceforkurt. There is a lot of evidence he was murdered.

  • @judyleasugar97 the ME's report stated all evidence pointed to suicide, including the lethal amount of heroin he took before he did it. In other words, if he didn't end up shooting himself, he probably would have died of an OD regardless of his tolerance for heroin.

  • @mayo211: The coroner, Hartshorne, was good buddies with Courtney Love. They partied together. He managed bands in fact. Probably hoped her influence would help him. Can you say conflict of interest? And how do you know what Kurt's tolerance level was?

  • @judyleasugar97 it just doesn't make sense. Kurt was guaranteed to make tens of millions of more dollars had he lived. why would she want to murder he number one money maker? even in a divorce, she would have walked away a very very rich woman. sorry, all evidence points to suicide. no second hand info is gonna convince me any different. besides, if she wanted him dead, she could have just kept feeding him heroin. he wasn't a big guy. it would have eventually killed him.

  • @mayo211: Kurt was quitting music. He would have made 9 million from lolapalooza but decided not to do it, a big conflict between him and Courtney. Kurt was worth more dead than alive. Courtney signed a prenup, she would have gotten zip from a divorce. Also, he was about to sign a will that cut her out of his fortune. There is evidence he was off of heroin in '94.

  • @judyleasugar97 they both agreed to a prenup when they married, at that time both nirvana and hole were heading for big things.

  • @hanusanus666: She insisted on a prenup because she actually thought Hole was going to be bigger than Nirvana, LMFAO.

  • Even though my brother loves Kurt Cobain for being a great musician,he also believes he was a dickhead for taking his own life.

  • @98bigbutt dude you know he might have not even taken his own life and if he did he had such a bad life you would kill yourself to but your life isnt as bad as kurts so drop it i dont want to be that mean but come on

  • @zac1199,he did took his own life.He even wrote a note before he did it and Courtney Love read the letter in his wake.

  • Most beautiful eyes I've seen on a dude.

  • Comment specified to gain internet approval deleted.

  • His lyrics were spewed garbage he admits this here.

  • @BoogieKnight1976 a lot of his lyrics were trash. He did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit or to Come As You Are. He was given the lyrics in 1986 and only changed a few of the words. He changed one of the lines to gibberish. the original line was 'And I forget just what it takes and yes I guess it makes you smile', to 'and I forget just why I taste, and yes I guess it makes me smile'

  • @OzKnosis then who gave it to them? cause im 100% sure cobain made it up himself.

  • I wish I knew him personally. I miss you, mate. R.I.P.

  • Kurt is an idiot with good voice

  • @Nickmorama Yeah he was painfully uneducated. But somewhat talented. I love the band(always have), but wow! he's the stereotypical blond bimbo. I think he was proud of it,too. Which makes it even worse.

  • @Nickmorama Oh yeah; why is that exactly?

  • I can connect that with Nevermind and some of Bleach, but on In Utero, although he seems to use the same method, he put a lot more thought into what the songs would ultimatly mean.

  • i looked into kurt's method of writing lyrics long ago when i tried to make meanings of his songs. i think this is one of the most unique ways of making a song. what he would do is take bits and pieces of poems and put them together. i can't find any other artist who takes the same approach.

  • @rardmasterflex he did not write Smells Like Teen Spirit or Come As You Are, but some of his other songs were great like Lithium and In Bloom and Heart Shaped Box.

  • listening to his voice > eargasm

  • he had beautiful eyes !

  • John Lennon said almost the exact same thing when people overanalyzed his music. Fans would come to his home and he'd take them inside and tell them quit reading so much into things.

    Yet they were both amazing, and they both said a lot, and tried to say a lot. But they were Artists which is a lot like asking comedians to explain a joke. Just experience it, react to it on your own, then you'll get it. But the whole idea of punk and grunge is to be allowed to mumble mosquito if you want.

  • @canthemum Exactly !

  • @canthemum very true theres even a little clip somewere on youtube with John doing this

  • @canthemum Didn't Lennon say to a fan something along the lines of "I write about my life, things like 'I took a lovely shit today'."? The expression on the fans face.. He literally looked like his life had no meaning anymore, I kinda felt sorry for him. Too me, Lennon and Cobain are very similar, both sloppy as hell players, both hugely influential, both died before their time, both geniuses.

  • I'd really like to talk to kurt just to figure this stuff out.

  • @jdindle dude shut the fuck up and stop posting in every video

  • he killed himself and he had a daughter? sounds more selfish than anything else.

  • Garble <3

  • Some people's garbage is not ungood.

  • @TheCMKXer What the hell is wrong with you? Kurt Cobain was an incredible contribution to the music industry and was idolised by many people. He was his own person and always spoke for himself. His lyrics were all his own and yes, he did write all of his songs. Stop being a dick and get a life.

  • Basically he's saying, stop over analyzing his lyrics and thinkin there's a deeper meaning. He doesn't mean to put down complex metaphors and shit. Less is more.

  • the soundwaves coming out if Nirvana songs stimulates my brain in a very good way. thats enough for me, dont care if the lyrics have a deeper meaning or not

  • wtf is up with the revolver at the end of the video?

  • @obsessedwgaming Its from the album nevermind.

  • @campo5150 Hahaha...Like you wrote great lyrics.He wrote brilliant lyrics.Another think First listen his heart shaped box and then comment.

  • thats exactly how I write

  • @oneandonlyful he doesn't

  • Kurt Cobain killed himself cause he realized he'd have to spend the rest of his life with a troll also known as CUNTney love

  • Курт навсегда останется в наших сердцах, даже после своей с мерти он остался с нами и его песни -это голоса наших несчастных душ.....

  • garbol

  • LOL HE SAID GARBLE.........RIP

  • not gunna lie, im surprised so few people watch these interviews with him

    he was one of the greats

    i rarely go a day these days without thinking about him and how sad it is he's dead

  • @onestepcloser17

    most people dont watch educational stuff on tv, they watch reality

    just like the internet. i mean smiling chihuahua got more hits

    its peoples nature to get entertained by brainless crap i guess

  • haha the gun in the last view seconds.... RIP KC, fucking love your music

  • his lyrics are really poetic, lots of metaphors and imagery. even when he doesnt know it.

  • ♥ Kurt ♥

    ♥ Kurt ♥

  • ya know what fuck all of you stop reading into this shit its what kurt wanted so shut the hell up and leave him the hell alone he desearves it and the whole two biggest hit things being writen by other people well if you really listen and love the band and their music than who gives a shit. my favorite songs are breed and lake of fire. do i care if he wrote it? NO. if you dont like it shut the hell up go listen to faggy ass rap or owl city. seriously shut the hell up all of you.

  • @Wilsonboy0528 you are welcome to like whatever Nirvana songs you choose. Cobain did not the lyrics to his two biggest hits. You can see it in this interview, y he hates it when the topic of lyrics is raised. He looks embarrassed by it, like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He admits to using bits of poetry, the implication being that the poetry is not his own, because there is no difference between lyrics &poetry. When you put your own poetry to music, it becomes lyrics. He lied.

  • @TheCMKXer cobain wrote brilliant lyrics

  • @TheCMKXer you are lying. You dont have any proof to begin with. And you are talking about facial expressions???? Give me a fucking break. If he ACTUALLY stole the lyrics, dont you think someone would have noticed it???

    There is nothing wrong with using a sentence from poetry! I mean, you might as well say: OMG he used the word purple, like that purple rain song from prince!

    tsk tsk tsk, you really dissappoint me with your comment :(

  • Kurt had such a beautiful face!

  • @weilandzgirl Yeah, I love his eyes. and his smile :) And his long blonde hair. Just Kurt himself was lovely! :)

  • give it a rest you sad bastard im surprised your hands are free to type and are not busy catching the shit that falls out of your mouth NO ONE FUCKING BELIEVES YOU FUCK OFF YOU SAD BASTARD, and if kurdt really shot himself how come none of his finger prints were in the room HA yet another thing you got wrong

  • @DemolitianBoy666 Cobainm committed suicide because Courtney Love turned him into a heroin junkie and then forced him to become a gay rights advocate. I think she also had some secret poop that she was planning to use against Cobain if he ever tried to divorce her or write her out of his will. He was trapped . She ruined him. His life began to fall apart from the day he met her. His band was destroyed by the time he died, they all hated him. Courtney Love reeks.

  • @TheCMKXer Was that comment meant to be a joke bcz if you were speaking from the heart jesus christ get your facts right Lmao

  • @DemolitianBoy666

    it was not a joke, his whole band hated him by the time he died, Courtney had turned him into a paranoid junkie, and the band was toast in the weeks before

    his death. Courtney would not let any of friends near him to influence him, and he traveled in a separate bus from Krist and Dave, stayed in different hotels, took different cars, cabs, etc. She destroyed him.

  • @Pumpkingilmour kurt wasn't in contact with anyone because he was in rehab, you know what i can't be bothered with you people on this video comments anymore because you're facts are all wrong you're the kind of people who think they're reading facts on forums, guess what they're lies, kurt cobain didn't kill himself facts are against you im bore so ciao for now! J.F.C

  • Cobain allowed people to think that he had written both the music and lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit, when all he had done was put the lyrics THAT WERE GIVEN TO HIM to music of his own making. followed the suggestion that he base the music on a morphed version of the main riff from the chorus of 'More Than A Feeling' by Boston. He was given the lyrics in 1986. He never expected to become so acclaimed and shot himself in the head a couple of years later

    because he hated himself.

  • @TheCMKXer im sorry none of that's true and never will be and if it was true i don't think i'd be hearing it from some geek over the internet, i'd be hearing it over tv, radio, music news, and i spent over an hour last night searching the web for your "facts" and couldn't find one shred of proof, so there you have it you should not believe everything you see, now let it die

  • everything I have written here is true. Cobain did not write the lyrics to two of his biggest songs, but what difference does it really make? He was going to divorce Courtney and likely take up an overtly homosexual identity. He was rumored to be working on a project with homosexual Michael Stipe at the time and was being offered big movie roles by homosexual film maker Gus Van Sant. In the end it was all too much for him so he got high and shot himself in the head with a shotgun.

  • @TheCMKXer Wow, you guys are really coming out in droves to defend a person who just asserts something happened without any proof of it whatsoever. I believe Novoselic has already stated that Kurt wrote the lyrics while they were rehearsing the riff. So who to believe, some Canadian trying to get his 15 minutes of fame, or the actual band.

  • @TheCMKXer ummm WTF?

  • @Pumpkingilmour you still haven't shown us any proof, it's just all lies because you're looking for attention

  • @DemolitianBoy666 no, just sick of the bullshit about how genius it is to marry a mind-controlled CIA nut-job, insult the majority of the rock world by calling them sexists, homophobes, and go preaching homosexuality to all the kids who look up to you, while hiding the fact that you were given your best lyrics, get addicted to heroin and then shoot yourself in the face with a shotgun. That is not genius.

    That is someone who got fucked with by Courtney Love and the CIA.

  • @Pumpkingilmour good now everyone thinks your insane im not saying the nutjob courtney bit wasn't true but jesus christ man let it die nobody cares what you say cuz we all know you're lying through your teeth

  • "everyone thinks this, everyone knows that" blah blah.speak for yourself, shit head.

    speak for YOURSELF, shit head, speak for YOURSELF, ignorant little SHITHEAD

  • @TheCMKXer haha haha you faggot just because no one believes your stupid little theory i think you can sleep happily tonight knowing EVERYBODY KNOWS wait can you read this EVERYBODY THINKS no wait EVERYBODY SAYS, YOU MY FRIEND ARE A FUCKING INTERNET SPAZTICATED NARC BASTARD

  • @Pumpkingilmour

    Again with the CIA bullshit Trump. You have no idea whatsoever what you are talking about. You spew out this garbage like its a common fact to every Nirvana fan. He called Axl Rose a sexist homophobe which you know is damn true, and telling your fans that there is no shame in being gay is something to look down on? Getting addicted to Heroin and shooting yourself in the face may not be genius but the passion and care he put into music and lyrics was.

  • @TheCMKXer none of that is true give it a rest no one believes you no one ever will believe you're just an arrogant bastard spreading lies now fuck off back to your home kid

  • @DemolitianBoy666 every word of it is true. Cobain was given the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit in 1986. along with the lyrics to Come As You Are, turned them into massive hits, and then fell in love with a heroin addicted nutcase who had some big time showbiz connections and took over his life. Courtney Love gave Cobain the ruinous advice to become a gay rights advocate, and he shot himself out of shame for it.

  • @Pumpkingilmour  thats just fucking rediculous man lmfao

  • @Pumpkingilmour Actually, Kurt wrote the lyrics to 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' after he misinterpreted what is ex girlfriend graffiti'd on the wall. She wrote 'Kurt smells like Teen Spirit'--the deodorant--and he took it as some kind of revolutionary message.

  • @bloodonbullets wrong, he wrote the TITLE for the song about graffiti, he did not write the lyrics to the song at all . Look up 'the true story behind the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit', and read it properly,

  • @DemolitianBoy666 I don't know for sure if it was suicide or not, to be honest.

    But I know that he did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. Look up 'the true story behind the lyrics to Smells Like Spirit', as a search term , and you will find out the whole story if you are willing to read it. Read the first twenty pages of it, you'll know the truth

  • I also think he wanted to confuse the hell out of everyone & have them debating & arguing over it all. Bravo Kurt.

  • I didn't say he didn't want to be famous or didn't like being famous. I just said it didn't make him happy. He was unhappy with everything he did that why he stuck a shot gun in his mouth & pulled the trigger. I'm not stupid or nieve so you don't have to be an ass to me. Cobain didn't like a lot of his fans bcs they didn't understand what they were doing. They blindly followed him like a bunch of Brittney Spears fans.

  • that is an oversimplification. He wanted to be famous , yet everyone believes that he hated the songs that made him famous, Why, well because those songs made him famous! Where is the logic there? Is there not a missing piece to this puzzle? The missing piece of the puzzle is that Cobain did not write the lyrics to his two biggest hits and hated himself for it. He also hated those two songs.

    and the false acclaim that they brought him.

  • Nobody fuckin believes you and the link is broken you're just a really gullible bastard to believe that in the first place, now fuck off kid, if kurt didn't write teen spirit's lyrics they wouldn't be left in his will to francis, you're probably just some kurt cobain hater looking for attention, im sorry but the facts are against you and um you're idea the kurt cobain didn't write his lyrics is completely false and there are no facts supporting it

  • shove your finger up your ass and then sniff it you asshole. Cobain hated himself more than anyone else could hate him, and shot him in the head with a shot gun.

    No one is going to come along and lie about the words to two famous songs just because they want to damage the image of Cobain. Cobain is already dead. What's the point in trying to hurt him? The fact is Cobain lied about those two songs, & hated those two songs after they made his lie the center&showpiece of his life.He judged himself

  • He didn't hate the songs! He didn't like the attention it brought him!

  • @rachelp8011 bullshit. Cobain's entire fucking life was a cry for attention. If you are shy you don't plan on being a famous rock star from the time you are a kid and then smash your band's instruments every night and voluntarily tour in front of tens of thousands every week. Wake the fuck up. He loved being the centerr of attention, he just couldn't handle that the songs he'd lied about were the most popular, and hated the people who liked those songs, because he did not consider them true fans

  • really beautiful eyes, he's so fuckin' hot!!!

    but about the song I read he felt shame about their biggest songs because he can't believe how he could do pop songs (the thing that he hates).

  • @paoqh27 he never once told the truth about why he really hated those songs.

    He had wanted fame all of his life, and yet he treated the two songs that made him famous as though they were not his own. Now you know why . He could not enjoy the success of those two songs because he did not write them , so he disowned them to as great an extant as possible short of admitting the truth that the did not write them, and that this was the real reason he hated them.

  • such beautiful eyes . goddamnit he was sexy

  • Many people think that Kurt Cobain was part of the MK-Ultra program and was killed by the CIA and that Courtney Love was not really his girlfriend but actually his handler

  • @BushAndBlairMustHang yeah. off course^^

  • @BushAndBlairMustHang serious? that's ridiculous.

  • @BushAndBlairMustHang I believe the MK Ultra thing's real and that Courtney killed him but I hadnt heard he was part of that program. What evidence dyou have for that?

  • @SophomoricHumor I agree with sophomric. That's kinda retarded.

  • @BushAndBlairMustHang

    You're fucking high.

  • @Robz14 lfmao!!!

  • even if he was writing his lyrics at the last second and making them random still which random ones he decides to use and how he creates a song out of them is still unique to him and still had meaning even if he didnt realize it.

  • @dt24 he didn't write the lyrics to his two biggest songs Smells Like Teen Spirit, or Come As You ARe. He is talking here about his own lyrics, not those two songs.

    He hated both those songs, btw, and left them off Live Tonight Sold Out because he had lied about writing the lyrics. He also often parodied those two songs , not because they were popular, but because he did not write the lyrics to them and had lied about writing them.

  • @OzKnosis lol u didnt address anything I talked about

  • @OzKnosis lol and kurt cobain was really black

  • @DemolitianBoy666 shove it snot jerk, Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit, and yes a  lot of people know the truth now.

  • A million singers write their songs in the studio. That's something that transcends most genres and eras in America. Even Louis Armstrong just sang random shit on records from time to time.

  • this is why Nirvana is amazing! They wrote the music first, then just jammed some words into fit!

    The music is the best part! Screw the lyrics!

  • on their own songs, yes. But Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit or to Come As You Are.

  • @OzKnosis not sure about that....plus those aren't the best songs...just the best known

  • @halohadel I AM sure about that. That is why he hated those two songs so much. If two of his OWN songs had gone huge, he never would have been whining about how fake corporate rock is and how he hated people obsessing on his lyrics etc. You can see him almost whince at yet another interviewer ballyhooing his lyrics here in this interview. Not because he is 'modest', but because he lied about a couple of his biggest songs.

  • @OzKnosis so who wrote them?

  • @halohadel here is the link:

    topix. com/forum/who/nirvana/TAP8NSTH­B7L2O1R6T

  • Bob Dylan i will say no more!

  • I ♥ KURT

  • who gives a shit about how he wrote the lyrics....!! if he didnt do what he did the songs wouldnt be as weird and makes u wonder about it all.... him doing this makes his work his own

  • Cobain was pressured by Geffen , his record company, to make the video for Smells Like Teen Spirit. He didn't want to do it , got shit-faced drunk the day of the shoot, and almost walked off set a couple of times. For the Come As You Are video, he had his face blurred out throughout the entire video because the lyrics made him feel like a hypocrite and a fake. He left Smells Like Teen Spirit off Unplugged, and only did Come as You Are because he couldnt exclude his 2 biggest hits.

  • @OzKnosis

    I have never read anything about Cobain ever expressing anger towards someone who admired his writing skills. He was a self-proclaimed shitty guitarist sure but not a shitty lyricst. And come on, you act like the man was your fucking brother. You didnt know him. Many of his closest friends stated that they barely felt like they knew him at all, what makes you think that you do? Also, its pretty obvious that you´re Trumpelstilt.

  • @OzKnosis

    Okay, im sorry if i came across as short sighted or ignorant in my last comment. I consider your story compeletly plausible im just having a hard time figuring out if you are for real or a schizofrenic or some demented, grass-stained, asylum patient looking for his 15 minutes of fame. Hope you have fun either way.

  • @PullingTeeth1 ozknosis is full of shit. how can you even think of believing that bullshit for a second?

  • @roejogan8 oh fuckoff rogan, go 'wack off to your poster of TheRock , I see you also have a stirring in your loins for Cobain too. He lied about the lyrics to two of his biggest songs, but that doesn't mean you can't still wank off to his pic now and then.

    Without him , those songs would never have gone anywhere, but he did not write the lyrics to them.

  • @OzKnosis you fuck off with your lies bitch! no one believes your gay as fuck story!!!

  • @OzKnosis lol then why is there several interviews of smells like teen spirits director saying tha, the video was really messed up becuse everyone was bored a kurt was just finishing the lyrics to the song inbetween text,

    everyone knows your lying and that forum you gave was false a broken link so you know fuck off and die

  • @DemolitianBoy666 bullshit it is a broken link. Just because YOU are INCAPABLE of using the link.........do not assume that everyone shares in your ineptitude. Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit. the link is here:

    topix. com/forum/who/nirvana/TAP8NSTH­B7L2O1R6T/p41#lastPost

  • @DemolitianBoy666 the link is not broken, you buggered upchuck:

    topix. com/forum/who/nirvana/TAP8NSTH­B7L2O1R6T

    Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit

  • What is with this new look youtube? I hate it. I may stop using it unless they change back.

  • from: Lennon to Waters to Townshend to Vetter to Cobain all lyricists lie about the truth of their lyrics.

  • kurt cobain<3

  • So he made up all his lyrics from lots of bits of crap? yea ok mate, course you did. Just like MJ claiming to hear voices in the night from this egyption deity or come rubbish like that. And they both died suspiciously.... hmmm... Suddenly i find all this illuminati mind control (via music) stuff interesting...

  • so the lyrics we don't understand...are garbage like he said?

  • Cobain did not even write the lyrics to his two biggest hits, that's why he put the people down who worshipped him as a lyricist.

    for the true story behind the lyrics to smells like teen spirit, go to:

    topix. com/forum/who/nirvana/TAP8NSTH­B7L2O1R6T

  • @EdiblePlanets FUCK OFF

    GO LISTEN TO YOUR JONAS BROTHERS

  • RIP Kurt ♥

  • it is not a 'terribly put together story', its the fucking truth, and if you were older than 14 you'd have learned to tell fact from fiction without some 'authority' or some publisher having to hold your hand. Read the material, the guy is being as straightforward and decent as possible, and a bunch of immature unbalanced losers are flipping out on him because they assume he's lying about a dead man. Its fucking ridiculous. He has nothing to gain from lying. He is telling the truth.

  • Where did he steal the riff from? I head he was influenced by the Pixies

  • kurt wrote the lyrics u retards y do u think it is so damn good

  • Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirt.

  • sure he did...

    en*wikipedia*org/wiki/Smells_L­ike_Teen_Spirit

  • fuck wikipedia, the true story behind the song has recently come out. Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit.

  • and your link to prove it?

  • here is the link to a thread where the writer of the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit describes the full story behind the song , when and why it was written, and what every line of the song meant:

    topix . com/forum/who/nirvana/TAP8NSTH­B7L2O1R6T

  • So you dont believe wikipedia or the liner notes of the Nirvana albums themselves, you believe some story posted on the net.... got it..

    however that isn't proof of anything, and unless that guy has some original writings at the time, there is no way to prove those are his lyrics (by carbon dating I mean)

  • yeah, the guys a dumbass

  • the guys story pans out as authentic, and if he can prove Cobain was in Banff that night, he has a pretty complete and convincing story in my opinion. How can people call Cobain a genius, when he was stupid enough to marry Courtney Love> he was no genius. He didn't write the lyrics to his two biggest hits either.

  • "the guys story pans out as authentic"

    No it doesn't, it's just a story.... has this guy been in court and had a judge rule that he was the original write? No he hasn't.

    Just because you believe it doesn't make it 'authentic'.

  • just because you are so immature, lazy and intellectually shallow that you need a judge to tell you what is real, doesn't mean that I should not just tell you to fuck off , you tosser.

    go pound off to the latest release from whatever putrid cunt . Read for yourself the information, don't waste time arguing here.

  • You call me immature then follow up with a bunch of insults... lol

    You expect to post a link and then what? omfg everyone in the world will believe you? I wonder why that hasn't happened.... maybe it's because that guy has NO PROOF to his story.

    Then you get angry at me for giving you a reasonably logical counter point to your comments and you act like a child attacking my character, yea great job your doing.

    It's a well written story man, I will admit that, but theres no proof to it.

  • the guy is still trying to find proof. he has been emailing people who played the Calgary gig with Cobain as roadie to try to get more information, etc. What he HAS posted is very thorough and plausible. Read the thread, and you will see what sort of idol-worshipping idiots it draws out of the woodwork.

  • There are people who literally worship the image of Cobain as some sort of savior figure and get so FURIOUS at the thought that he lied about his two biggest songs, because their Cobain poster never ages, never says anything to disparage itself, never fucks up, so they consider their Cobain poster to be god. Its fucking ridiculous. Cobain did not write the lyrics to those songs and hated them for the same reason. Fans almost shit their pants before even finishing the first paragraph. Wake up.

  • there are people who idolize the jonas brothers the same way...

    the way you write about this makes me think your obsessed with it.. either with the story itself or with cobain/nirvana, you sound like a hater to me...

    you still go on to state that these arent his lyrics when there is no proof of it...

  • @OzKnosis

    I'm just curious, what songs did Kurt allegedly not write the lyrics to?

  • Cobain did not write the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit or to Come As You Are. The real writer has come forward.

    here is the link:

    Cobain hated both those songs, parodied them, and left both songs off the DVD 'Live Tonight Sold Out!' because he considered himself a sellout for having recorded stuff he didn't write.

  • Are you sure????!!!! how do u know this??? man i'm disappointed i love come as u are and smells like TS. have u read his biography heavier than heaven?? it says in there he wrote them...

  • don't be disappointed, Cobain had the class to appreciate good lyrics, record them, tour, and make something great out of something that would never have gone anywhere without him.

    He didn't tell the truth about the lyrics , but he also hated getting too much credit and tried to do everything he could to tone it down. He was a victim of marketing hype that he didn't like. He was a great musician.

  • @OzKnosis How do you know that he put a lot of effort in his lyrics? I'm not saying you're a liar, I was just wondering where I could see/read about it, and his writing process, because I've always wondered about that.

  • @synthetickat: People have said Kurt wrote spontaneously, for instance that he wrote "Dumb" in 5 minutes. But he may have been thinking about lyrics, we don't really know.

  • @OzKnosis

    I think you are right.

    Plus, all creative work has a deeper meaning, as it comes from the subconscious, al though you may not notice it when you write.

  • have you considered once the contrary?

    this guy had to have taken formal writing classes, regardless if his story is true or not, would you agree that he's gearing up for a book deal?

    every thing that I read could have been taken directly from cobain/nirvana biography's...

    no one witnessed him writing this poem, he's to shy to show himself, and it turns out to be the biggest coincidence of all time that his poem turns out to be the biggest song of the 90's

    definition for a long shot imo
