  • I love this guy soooo freakin' much, words can't even describe it, just everything he says I can relate to in some way. Rest in peace Kurt :'( xxxx

  • The main thing to come away from this video is a lesson to get/stay in touch with yourself and your emotions. why I talk to so many people all the time and the basis of the conversation is so shallow that it's difficult to really get to know people. like "hey, how are you" the typical response is "oh, I'm good..how are you? .. Good" so many people play it safe; so afraid of rejection or denial. What the fuck ever happened to honesty. R.I.P Kurt, for keepin it real

  • I know that this is not on topic perfectly. What album and when did nirvana put out Half the man I used to be? I am aware of the STP chorus on the song creep, but I know I have heard Kurt sing this shit, and the song was definitely solid quality. There seems to be a huge discrepancy online over this, and I can not find the answer anywhere.

  • @OneLoveSmile The song is actually called "Creep" and Nirvana never covered it, ever. The versions mislabelled as a Nirvana song are just the Stone Temple Pilots track from their album Core.

  • @OneLoveSmile I'm going to second what grungegopher told you here - neither Kurt nor Nirvana ever had anything to do with that song, ever. The confusion stems from the fact that STP recorded 2 different vocal versions of their song Creep - one for the album, and one for the single - and for whatever reason some people seem to think that 1 of those versions sounds like Cobain singing. But it isn't. Weiland sang both versions, and Robert De Leo wrote it. Hope this helps...

  • thats why i did drugs too.

  • shave my eyebrows HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  • @SweetLilNibs his point was he wasnt unhappy. People that dont know or trully simpothiz reallly dont understand they think there has to be drugs causing it or one of the same old stereo types used by for lack of a much better term 'normal' people to keep them feeling like just that 'normal' unconciously not directly of coarse. Wat they're not realizing that there was nothing wrong in the first place, your justification of wat is normal is where you fail to realize theres no such THING.

  • Rest easy Kurt. People that don't have "it" can't understand. Something in the brain that comes before the drugs. After a while you can see it in even the youngest people. Not sure what "it" is but I've lost friends and acquaintances to it over the years. I have it.

  • @drewbehr I have it. In my brain.

  • he's in a better place now, he was too good for this world

  • Kurt Is a Legend

  • wow, probably the most insightful interview ive heard with him.

  • i use opiates as a tool for pain too kurt... the pain of life.

  • I am listnening to this recovering from my heroin addiction and it sucks i will have these scars on my arms for the rest of my life, i grew up listening to nirvana and nothing they said did anthing to my self persona, i eaven made a music video for them, its lost a gone now but, i know what it's like to be a heroin addict and everyone DEPENDING on U its just something you have to and i hope you dont experience yourself.

  • i always knew that kurt was intelligent, but i was surprised at how insightful he is in this interview. it's rly sad that his brightness and positivity never got a chance to fully manifest itself

  • i think one of my fave parts is 1:10 to 1:14

  • Lets not read into why he ended things too far.... the bottom line is that he was going through a tough time in his life, just like lots of mid to late 20's guys do. What made it unbearable was the fact that he was addicted to opiates. Having been there myself, i can tell you that when people around you do not come to terms with your addiction, and , especially, when you are forced to stop, you get severely depressed. Its too bad he couldnt have hung in there for a few more years

  • He didn't seem mentally ill to me. Just highly sensitive.

  • I wonder how he would have been if he just smoked weed, never did opiates.

  • kurt you took the words ,right out of my mind , i share your pain , see you soon

  • Dude I know what he's saying! People ask me what's wrong, I'm tired, or I'm apathetic. I can't say I hate people, I hate stupidity. I don't drugs, never thought about it.

  • people ask why im sad a lot to, i don't know why either, but it does get annoying

  • Kurt was not bipolar. And even if he had been depressed there's no way he could have lifted the gun with that much heroin in him.

  • @profaneoneohone people grow tolerances to drugs... i thought the same thing at one time.. but it's all fucked up and confusing, almost like a conspiracy

  • Bless his heart <3

  • stomach ailments = heroin withdrawal 

  • Stop trying to blame others for Kurt's death. He suffered from a bipolar disorder...to all of you who have never been close to someone with this condition, I'll just tell you that if you don't get treatment for it, you'll probably end up killing yourself.

  • simply .. fight your own path ..

  • He doesn't sound depressed to me. He was just super sensitive.

  • incredible. some days i think im alone in the world. when i hear people like this, that stops just for a moment. im not on drugs or anything like that. thats not it. what IS it, is his deep, SENSE of things, that he could feel beyond feeling and beyond sight, its something rare, its something that comes with symptoms, its never found by itself in people who have it....

  • @MartyredxMaiden i really like what you've said.

  • When I was 13 years old, I acquired a stomach condition after a trauma. Never got better. I am 20 now, still relatively drug free but my stomach pain is still there. I remember reading the book "Come As You Are" by Michael Azzerad and in my post-trauma, thinking "Holy shit, Kurt had the same thing happen to him when he was 7 - with the stomach pain too". I have a '67 Mustang in the corner of my room that my dad gave me... I have been playing since age 12, is all this a calling?

  • @thespecter2 no

  • nauseating. not in what's said so much but what u all wallow in this , because he's famous or because u r all sad suburban people with the balls to free yourselves from that world. u r all sheep looking for a vehicle preferably a famous one u can all look up to and share with others to value negatively and positively. stop being sheep and be yourselves! stop valuing others and value yourself. or be a sheep forever and if so shut up and get a corporate job already.

  • @Stinky95030 You're psycho.  First off why are you even on here? One up fans of a musician? Just let them have their fun. Atleast it's not religion. I see where you're comming from which makes ME nauseated. Douche

  • @Stinky95030 i think i love u.

  • @Stinky95030 I actually came here to watch a video about Kurt...but thanks for calling me a sheep thats cool too

  • i dont know you but i sure can tell you were the only genuine guy amongst hypocrites.......nothin wrong with you,you were sensible enough not to be a pretender or fake.........

  • It's almost as if he's sitting in front of you because of the tenses he's talking in.

  • People are also constantly accusing me of being in a bad mood. Irritating to say the least.

  • The title for Lacrymosa came from Kurt Cobain's friends The Melvins song Lacrimosa released on their 1996 Stag album. The lyrics for the song performed by Evanescence had already been written by me before 1994 when we lost Kurt.

  • Oh, ok, its a documentary. I'm going to watch it!

    Wait, so what track is this particular background music from on the 'About a Son' soundtrack?

  • this is from 'about a son'

  • OMG - WHERE DID YOU GET THIS SERENE BACKGROUND MUSIC?? PLEASE TELL ME! :)  IT'S SO CALMING. I'M A HUGE FAN, AND REALLY MAKES ME LISTEN TO WHAT HE IS SAYIG - sad

  • @MyBad116 I think it's a clip from 'About A Son'

  • @DubT3ch

    Thanks :D, but what is 'About a Son.' Is it a movie or something?

  • Comment removed

  • I'm going through quite a rough time emotionally/mentally and I am finding comfort in knowing Kurt shared alot of the same problems (even the stomach pains). Thanks, Kurt and Nirvana, for keeping me going. I don't care what people say about them, or how they "sold out" (I got into an argument with a friend yesterday about that), there is nothing insincere about Kurt.

  • People ask me what the matter is ALL THE TIME! i hate it!

  • @rwarxrachel Same. And people label me as a nervous wreck and a downer even when I'm in a good mood, so I need to really fake it that I'm happy all the time. I understand what that's like...

  • @rwarxrachel me too :/ i had to start acting like a nutcase so that no one would think i was a nutcase. when you're quiet, lost in thought, introspecting, actually thinking about life, the self, feeling the world, feeling whats inside, exploring your thoughts and your dreams, people just cant understand that it could be good or bad or neither.

  • i don't enjoy nirvana, never have, maybe will some day. but recently i've been reading Kurts bio and personally this guy could be my twin. one of the quotes i liked; "The subject seems to sing that he has found his “nirvana” and is in a contented state in a place where all needs are met and there are no outside worries. But to any outside observer, the subject has simply gone insane in a filthy, one room prison"

  • whats the music in the background?

  • r.i.p. kurt. </3

  • Kurt should have relized he was famous had lots of money n could have any girl he wanted theres people that are worse off just wondering if he didnt last long jus a few years being a famous rock star with tons of $ i wonder if you would take almost all his $ when he was alive N out of nowhere he would have developed really severe acne(look up pics of this type of acne here on youtube) i wonder how many days he would have lived before he blew his brains out N yet others live like that everyday

  • @MrYayo87 dont persecute him for trying to improve his self confidence.. And btw im sure fixing up your acne doesnt nearly cost as much as a lambourghini or a luxury house in tuscany but did kurt have those things? no .. do most other rockstars? yes

  • @MrYayo87 He definitely could NOT have any girl he wanted, girls don't want whiny heroin addicts, or people who need counciling really bad, that don't have their shit together as a boy friend, but you probably aren't going to understand what I'm saying. Sure chicks find him attractive, but when it comes down to it, he probably made a shitty friend. I'm 31, I grew up listening to this in middle school and high school, it was my favorite band for like 10 years.

  • @MrYayo87 He couldn't get any girl he wanted, anyway not all people just want money and chicks out of life believe it or not.

  • Damn..I'm sad all the time too. I think of killing myself almost everyday. I haven't been happy for 11 years..everyday you try to be happy but you can't help the way you fucking feel.

  • He wasn't depressed. That's something Courtney started. No one else says that.

  • It wasn't Courtney or the music industry that killed him. He was just a lost soul who wasn't long for this world. He suffered from depression and stomach ailments, as well as an unhappy childhood after his parents divorced. There was no peace in this life for him. Some people are just terminally unhappy.

  • @SweetLilNibs He was addicted to heroin . I was addicted to opiates for yrs . But I had wonderful parents , a great upbringing , no health problems at all . But I wanted to be dead , I just didnt have nerve enough to kill myself . Addiction will bring anyone to the bottom . Anyone who hasnt been through it has no clue what addiction is like . Unless you have bben an addict you cannot understand what addiction feels like .

  • @SweetLilNibs no... it was courtney..

  • @SweetLilNibs He was also bipolar if you want to get down to it. I can't stand his music, but I like the man. I'm also bipolar and I know how it feels. Everyone else around you seems so alien in the sense that they are not tormented by what you are, but they know the same feelings and have them as well, but it is different for you being bipolar. Happy people come from broken homes, and miserable people come from perfect homes. His moods don't seem environmental, they seem clinical

  • @SweetLilNibs Thanks, so every clinically depressed person I know is doomed...

  • @SweetLilNibs your exactly right....even in his suicide note he refers to her as a goddess, she didnt cause his death he just lost his passion for life in general

  • @SweetLilNibs No its the drugs... Please show me an interview where he is wearing a short sleeve shirt. He was a hard core heroin addict and thats why his stomach hurt all the time. The pain becomes more acute and they have trouble coping without the drugs. The depression comes with the drug use and the feeling of helplessness. Shit I mean "Heart Shaped Box" was giant field of poppy plates. It was always on his mind and Im sure he hated it. He was killing himself thats the sad thing.

  • @Killerdoctor27 Right on man well said.

  • @Killerdoctor27 The reason he became so addicted to heroin is actually because it was the only thing that made his stomach not hurt. It didn't cause the pain, it took the pain away for him. Unfortunately, it caused a lot of other pain in other areas of his life.

  • @Killerdoctor27 He had the stomach ailment for long time before he used heroin. It was the only thing that helped the pain

  • @SweetLilNibs Amen to that, nothing or no one could have saved him. He hated his fame but at the same time he wanted it and wanted not to be forgotten. Death immortalized him.

  • God I would sell my soul to have known Kurt Cobain.

  • @sandybeaches15 I'm with you.

  • @sandybeaches15 I HOPE you're only joking about the 'selling your soul' bit(?) Kurt Cobain - as sweet, intelligent, and sensitive as the man could be - was such a damaged and fucked-up person on the inside, and often on the outside as well. A great artist, sure, but definitely not role model material.

  • I understand your married to Courtney Love and your a Pisces ! lol

  • Kirt is my idol as a singer/songwrighter and guitar player....everyone pretends you are still alive

  • "I used it as a pain medication to get rid of the pain" this is so sad...

  • What song is playing in the background at the end?

  • ooh so sweet!

  • 2:00 Dave Grohl looks like Billie Joe Armstrong from the late 80's - beginning 90's.

  • He had no clue what an impact he had on music.

    "They built you a temple and locked you away

    Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay

    For things that you might have done

    Only the good die young."

  • What was the title of this movie?

  • @FlickOfTheSwitch83 About a Son

  • Its crazy to think that when I was 13 or 14 and my lil bro was 2 or 3 and one our favorite songs to blast and head bang to was sliver I had no idea then how much they would influence people today. We still love thats song.

  • :( thats sad. poor kurt. we love you :D

  • Why am I so much like him?...

  • what is this from? this is the most honestand coherent ive ever heard him

  • @MissDeeCole the movie about a son its a couple years since its release

  • awesome

  • Man, if Kurt was alive I think we would be very close honestly. our thoughts are the same and it's just so unreal..

  • He should have just sticked to weed :(

  • @GanjaEclectus yea I agree, but the lie that weed is bad extends to the truth that other drugs can be bad too. He just thought opiates were harmless and then got hooked bad. I'm not saying this is what happened, but he was a good guy. Kurt is really missed.

  • The smiling thing.. i always get it.. leave me the fuck alone i dont have to smile all the fucking time when im happy do i? Jeeez. Next time instead of smiling.. im gonna tell them exactly that :) Sound Kurt!

  • God this Guy rox!! he really makes u feel Betta bout ur emotions, nt tat I use drgs or shit + he was an absolute gem!! Their will Neva be another Kurt! RIP!

  • I love to here real insights to the real kurt, on real human terms.multifacited,and comlicated,funny and serious.And to speak so candidly about his drug use!

  • And in the words of Kurt Cobain-"Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you"

  • I relate 100% 2 the 1st half of that interview-It's what all my friends say about me..Im in a great mood,yet still manage 2 look like im ready 2 kill-I don't get it, even though I try...And it's NOT a "teenage thing"-Im 29 ffs!

    Ive also had 2 battle drugs 4 most of my life...

    Just because he was a drug user & pissed off alot, does NOT mean he killed himself! Just because the ingredients for suicide were there,does not mean that someone couldn’t have noticed and used them against him.>>>>

  • Opiates......... I guess we all connect with people in different ways....

  • hearing him talk like this makes me cry. if only he didn't take his life </3

  • God dammit i wish i could get inside Kurt's fucking head..

    too bad..

  • "so fucking sarcastic at times and at others times so vulnerable and sincere" - sounds kinda like me. haha

  • @judyleasugar97

    I absolutely realize how powerful it was. But when someone is physically dependent to opioids, they need up to 30 times the dose deadly to a "normal" person. There are people who need 1000mg diacetylmorphine a day, or 1500mg oxycodone a day. Considering that 40-80mg oxycodone can kill an average person, 1500mg oxycodone would totally be considered a deadly dose. That's why I think that Cobain wasn't killed by his heroin injection.

  • "im in a perfectly happy mood, you asshole"

  • I just know he was murdered, in a way that's what makes it so fucking hard to accept. We could have had tons more Kurt years, even if he wasn't in Nirvana. It makes me feel sick to think of Kurt getting hurt by someone he cared for and trusted but I just think that's how it went down that day and I hope whoever did it gets what they have coming.

  • @AllTheCoolKidsHateMe he killed himself. you people need to get out of denial. he talked about it all the time. he had stomace pains he was depressed and he lost passion for his music. he used drugs to ease the pain.

  • @bluesmiles77 Actually, that's a myth. He didn't talk about it all the time. I'm guessing you read Heavier Than Heaven and took it as the gospel, when it was mostly Courtney-approved garbage.

  • @grungegopher no you guess wrong. im just being a realist. and he did say he has thought about killing himself.

  • @grungegopher Whether he shot himself is up for debate, he still had enough heroin in his system to put down two men.

  • @AllTheCoolKidsHateMe Dude, kurts gone, he was a manically depressed drug addict, I fucking hate he's gone too, but he killed himself man, we have to accept that.

  • "maybe i should shave my eyebrows" LOL!!!

  • "maybe i should shave my eyebrows" LOL!!!! Whatta legend.

  • I was in a very similar place as Kurt, I too was doing heroin and other drugs and was so lost and confused, I too was suicidal,had no self worth. I understand how he felt but I worked hard and it took a long time.

    I'm 32 and I am getting better.

    Kurt ran out of time.

    He needed someone to steer him in the right direction and I think he would be a lot better off for it today.

    What a shame he died.

  • Krist wasn't even around Kurt much the last months. Krist's statements were based on what he heard in the media. He was fooled like a lot of other people. There is more evidence of murder than suicide.

  • @profaneoneohone I know its really sad because they were like brothers and if anyone needs to know the truth, it's Krist. He's known Kurt even before Nirvana.

  • if krist, his best friend,band mate and someone who lived with him for so many years accepts his suicide why cant we? i know it hurts

  • "all I can do is scream into a microphone instead."

    That's all you needed to do bro. Legendary.

  • I have never related to somebody so much before. It is so honest. And securing...

  • Glad to know I'm not alone /x , I love Kurt Cobain , your what it's all about . I wonder if there's really a person out there that smiles 24/7 . . . . . ?

  • kurt was real...anybody that diagrees suck...he was the real deal and i miss him

  • i can relate...curt was so unhappy with the world but so talented...i miss him

  • the music in the back sucks. poor kurt. we miss you :(

  • god.. i just want to cry.. but then he makes me smile at 01:13

    i just would love to hug him..

  • Everything he just said I have been feeling the exact way and have the exact things happen to me for my entire teenage years, it's comforting and scary at the same time because I feel like I'm just heading down a path that I can't control anymore.

  • People think I look mad all the time too, just because I'm not smiling like, 24/7. And I'm like, well, I'm happy, there's just no reason for me to be smiling all the freaking time! (I know, this sounds redundant).

  • I know what it's like to be type cast as your diagnoses from your therapist. Then, we let it define us and get deeper in it. Get out now! Fuck what everyone else sees! We are the controller of our own minds!

  • I know what it's like to be type cast as your diagnoses from your therapist. We start to feel like that defines us and everyone else sees us that way. Then we get deeper in it. Get out now. Fuck what everyone else sees! You are the controller of your own mind!<3

  • I love seeing all the comments like, wow I'm just like that! He understands me! Thats why we're Kurt fans. Cause we saw/see his genius. He was so good at connecting with people in different ways, and thats why I think he's a hero.

  • Oh my gosh.. that's the EXACT thing that happens to me. people are always like whats wrong? are you sad? are you ok? why don't you smile? one time I cracked and I was like THIS IS JUST MY FACE!!!! OK?!?!?

  • This is really moody...

  • Kurt didnt commit suicide people. Im not a concpiracy theorist but its true. Research it. He had 3 times the lethal dose of heroin in his body when they found him. You cant shoot yourself after taking that much heroin. There was also no finger prints on the shotgun. He shot himself and then whiped the shotgun clean?? Just had to share....

  • @RitzDaCracker1 thats why i trip out why didnt the police further investigate that. a "suicide" weapon with no fingerprints isnt a suicide weapon its a murder weapon. courtney did it and if she didnt do it she paid someone to do it.

  • @RitzDaCracker1 clearly you've never done or been addicted to heroin...

  • he was an amazing guyy, battling things that pissed him off (: 

  • I get so sick of reading comments about how much of an "emotional wreck" Kurt was, some people need to stop trying to dissect everything this guy says, and trying to analyze what kind of person he was. Chances are you never even met him, so shut the fuck up and just enjoy his music.

  • We know your fun Kurt :)

  • it's like kurt and i share the same personality

  • i love nirvana there my favorite band

    

  • This is an amazing interview. Thanks heaps for the upload!

  • if it was suicide, i just wish that kurt had waited just three years to do it, so that i would be able to proudly say that i was alive at the same time as Kurt was.

  • @LoverElephant97

    selfish lol

    

  • damn you kurt!! you and i have the same personality!!! you died when i was 3. ever since you left, this media is even more bullshit than ever b4. Now they wont even give unique rock n roll bands these days a chance anymore... at least they arent taking advantage of your inspiration, like they did you.. RIP brotha from anotha motha =)

  • kurt has my total respect. if there is a lord in heaven out there, I hope he gave this man what he so utterly deserved

  • He obviously was in a depressive state....

  • you dont have to be depressed to kill yourself, it can be a split second decision to just escape a situation which is overwhelming you , i hate how people automatically presume that the person was depressed or unhappy for a long time.

  • @TheHiddenAnswer: Maybe so, but no one can pick up a gun with a 3 times lethal dose of heroin in their system, no one. That makes his mental state irrelevant.

  • haha i like Kurts gray hairs in his stubble....

  • Damn.. i can relate to this guy soo much

  • this video is fucked.... "i am not going to shoot myself"

  • Kurt was a very sensitive artist. But he was honest about how he felt. People with real problems are not honest. I don't think he killed himself.

  • @ifuckinghateglee i agree with you, i think courtney hired a hitman.

  • Today I was at therapy and an old dude told me if I was mad at him and not to be so moody. I was not mad, I just wasnt laughing/smiling.

    I always thought I seemed liked a very approachable person... apparently not. Makes me feel a bit better to see that I am not the only one <3

  • He should've got off the drugs, studied philosophy, gone to therapy, and taken up physical activity. He was a good dude at heart - just confused and trying to understand the world.

  • @LAballin24 that sounds lame drugs are fun, physical activity and therapy are the opposite

  • @LAballin24 had he done that, he wouldn't have had the impetus to produce the music he did

  • @LAballin24 " just confused and trying to understand the world." Isn't that Philosophy?

  • @LAballin24 "He should've got off the drugs, studied philosophy, gone to therapy, and taken up physical activity. "

    I know you definitely mean well, but that comment sounds like an "easy do-it-yourself guide to getting off drugs and fixing your life!" I'm sure he definitely wanted to just get off the drugs. Otherwise I agree with the rest of your comment.

  • @LAballin24 fuck psychaitrist they are the ones who prescribed him drugs in the first place..die psychiatrists! taking a life on an artist is not a joke

  • @isometric85 Yeah but if he did not find a way to stop the pains he would have killed him self earlier.

  • @LAballin24 he was a good dude in general. drug abuse is unhealthy not immoral

  • @LAballin24 His undiagnosed stomach ailment really pushed him to drugs... Yeah, he should have gotten clean, taken up some yoga exercises, physical exercises and gone out more.

  • @LAballin24 I think Courtney Love had a lot to do with what happened to him..

  • Kurt was not bipolar. It's a myth.

  • well i feel the same way as him i guess its the bipolar i guess we appear happy and sad at the same time.....

  • Leave Courtney alone, shes beautiful and she loved Kurt.

  • in the first picture he looks like viggo mortensen as aragorn

  • i realize kurt had a pretty fucked up life and did some bad things, but in his interviews he seems like he was a really nice guy

  • @fossilbox1991 Well, most of the "bad" things he did were probably a result of mental illness and drug addiction. I don't know why people have a hard time understanding that.

  • 33 people were too sad too like this

  • @CODisthebombdiggity fuck that-the word is SCARED...people can't handle what they don't get, so there's compulsive discrimination-this is a guy that I personally believe had a solid grip on truth...just too fuckin young, or something, to handle the power of it all...nonetheless, he had power, and reflected the times well. If there is ANYTHING I wish...is that he woulda just rode it out, whatever that overwhelming monster was...then again, mayb Cuntney killed him.....

  • Say all you want about me. Kurt doesnt give a fuck what none of you think. Stop trying to portray his life. Live your own. Hes gone.

  • FUCK COURTNEY... DUMB BITCH

  • I dont get why people are always saying shit about Kurt being an evil person and a satanist, just because he didnt live a healthy live style and did stuff like through himself into expensive equipment. I mean just listen to this fucking interview, hes not happy about the fact he did drugs, he hates homophobes, rapists, killers, sexists etc, hes an incredibly emotional person, in what way is this fucking satanic?

  • No reason to beat the shit out of anyone or get pissed or depressed about another person. People are people. No matter what. If you cannot accept and love them for that, you should off yourself. Because that means you have no apathy. Or very little. If people would stop judging and start understanding, the world would be a better place. And Kurt Cobain would still be with us making great music which would improve the world as well.

  • You know what? If he uses opiates as a pain med, and I judge him for it, then I'm just as
