I hope she didn't kill him. He probably would've done that on his own accord. Once a person is suicidal, it's very difficult to get them off that path. Because you can't be there forever for them.
Yeah, that was my thought, exactly. My grandma, daughter of a traditional country-healer, always told me, nervous stomach&gut issues one has to solve by oneself, testing traditional stomach-remedies one after the other for a month, excluding all other foods, until you find the right one for your specific problem. My grandmum found apple-vinegar before meals, though her mother alays insisted on dandelion-salad, my father dropped all cowsmilk and because he had also liver issues switched to golden millet and lentils instead of corns, my mum hates millet and swears on curd. I did well by simply not eating in the evening and drinking cheese poplar before bed. My doctor gave me gut-bacterias and some pills, I think was L-Lysine, and that helped, too. But not eating in the afternoon and skipping alcohols did the trick.
It's not just gastrointestinal doctors. I have been to several doctors that are significantly less informed that I am on the subject im experiencing. My mother and step father and aunts have all have perfectly similar negative experiences. Don't get me started with pain doctors and hormone replacement centers.... you have 2 kinds of doctors.... ones that will give you such a ridiculously small dose that it isn't even close to effective, or the 2nd type of doctor will give you a huuuuuuuge dose and is basically just catering to abusers. You have one doctor fighting tooth and nail to make sure NO ONE gets the medicine they need because 3% of people are abusing it, and then you have the doctor that is getting rich off people abusing drugs and has no concern about your personal health and if you're not informed on your own they can end up doing very harmful things to you.
@@travelreview5962 I totally agree. It’s definitely not just gastrointestinal doctors. And yeah they are almost always less informed than me on whatever chronic illness I’m going in for. I’ve honestly learned more on Reddit subs and other people who are dealing with the same issues than any doctor could tell me. I even cancelled my insurance because how disgusted I was with the medical industry.
Very subtle thing to notice about Kurt in this video is how he’s blowing his cigarette smoke up and not directly into the interviewers face who probably doesn’t smoke but didn’t care if Kurt did. Subconsciously showed you the consideration/respect he had for others despite what media wanted to portray him and his music as
He always came off as sweet and kind in interviews. He was a gentle soul. Perhaps that is part of the reason he couldn't take this world/life. He knew it was too dark and cold.
My fiancé’s grandpa went to a nirvana concert in ‘93 when his grandpa was about 29. He got to meet kurt even got a record signed by him. (We can’t find it though, his grandpa died the same year as Kurt and we are still going through his stuff to try to find it)
Bro I so agree with you. I really wish I had the chance of a lifetime to go and see them in concert, it really hits me hard to think that I’ll never hear them in person.. 🤘❤️long live Nirvana
All interviewers are supposed to be kind and respectful. YOU are just to used to seeing stupid reality TV that is totally staged and not even real. Normal human beings are naturally kind and respectful, it is the media that wants you to think most humans are dirtbags.
One of the most intriguing people in rock ever. He sounds a lot smarter than what the media made of him. I always think about him when I drive through Aberdeen.
My confession: every time I get too high or too drunk or too crossed, I watch this video. When I’m panicking I watch this video. It’s the longest, straight up just Kurt cobain talking interview I can find. He’s just so calming
Same. It's just like having a friend talk you down. He's so laid-back and soothing but you still get the feeling that he cares about what he's talking about
His voice and his singing voice are both one of a kind and unmatched.. sorry for repeating what u said lol, i just concur.. his voice has like this slight raspyness but so gentle and soothing and calming and relaxed
I just noticed that the interviewer isn't interrupting or talking over him like every damn host today; Jimmy 'Fake Laugh' Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Conan, Corden.... it just caught me off guard that the interviewer is actually listening to Kurt
I think that people really respected him and to interviewed him was an honor, so they gave the time to listen what he had to say. If he was alive now, he would probably hate the shit out of those disrespectful interviewers.
This is a class interviewer. He lets Kurt speak his mind without interrupting him and he doesn’t push him for answers the way that other interviewers do.
This was for a special called _Nirvana: Past, Present, and Future_ (a sadly ironic title since it was from late 1993). The format included a lot of talking head shots, so it was the format that it was used for that determined the method.
Loder's style was then prevalent. Sound biting wasn't *as* vogue. '90s communication was more drawn out, not in the number of syllables used in each word (Gen Y), but, rather, the number of words in a paragraph (like here...). Loder was preceded by Dick Cavett, Tom Snyder, and Donahue. Jerry Rivers came later and helped usher in an increasingly sensationalist media arena. Rivers was tame compared to the interviewers that popped up, and even he didn't sound bite much. That was for Orpah Winfrey (although her sound biting was always pleasant!) Jerry Springer and Maury Povich (their sound biting was not). Although not initially, Montell Williams also brought in mansplaining to underage females. Every episode was him playing big daddy. He helped bring in what you accurately comment on.
I feel like kurt also knew how good he was. Kurt didn't blow his cigrette smoke in his face and let him ask the questions. This was like a best friend conversation.
Imagine making 100 million dollars in just 2 years without being an egomaniac CEO, a corrupt politician, a dictator, a shameless celebrity, or a youtuber with no real talent. Kurt did it and he still talked like this: like a human being. Amazing.
He only earned $1M in two years and 300k went to lawyers and 300k in taxes. When he d*** he hardly had any money left and a mortgage of $1,2M from the house in Seattle he had just bought. It's a shame the people you are describing were the ones who got the $100M. He deserved more
@@lorna3867Incorrect. Kurt’s net worth at the time of his death was almost 50 million dollars. Now his estate is worth upwards of 450 million. He had talked to lawyers to exclude Courtney from his will because he was going to divorce her since he found out she was cheating on him. He went on an extensive heroin bender leading to rehab then another bender then suicide and never signed it.
@@cactaceous Iegal documents debunk the gossip you just wrote. Kurt's bank account was made public during the '94 court hearings because he died without a wiII. The news articles documenting the Iegal process are still online. And please explain why Kurt threatened to divorce on March 1 after a fight (the same day he told his entertainment lawyer, not his family lawyer btw), and two days later he bought diamonds and roses for Courtney. It seems you've been reading one of those sites that hide the truth from fans in order to make them believe in the cons. If you verified what you've been told you'd realize most of the drama has been fabricated throughout the years. Cheers
The relationship between the gut and mind is very real - there is an absolute link between stomach ailments and depression. Sadly, if Kurt had not relied on self-medicating and had sought treatment for his depression, he might still be here. Or, maybe not. May he rest peacefully…he is very much, missed.
The medication he talks about was experimental and his doctor was unable to keep prescribing it, likely resulting in the pain coming back full force. It’s painful to see as someone with chronic pain, gut or otherwise. It’s hard to keep going when you’ve felt relief and have had it taken away.
@Logic it is indeed, unfortunately most interviewers aren't just there for a nice convo, they're there to get information that will drive interest, that normally involves pressing to get the 'scoop' Even if the interviewee gets annoyed, that's enough normally lol They're vultures man
What an absolute gem of a person: so creative, so honest, such integrity in his work and respecting the creations of others. I love how he smiled when they talked about Frances. I wish he never left us.
Although it sucks he's dead he is immortalized. He will always be 27, he will always be relevant and always in his peak. "It's better to burn out than fade away"
It always meant money. Nostalgia even brightens the worst shite. Having nostalgia for MTV is like having nostalgia for Blockbuster video, Myspace, and the early days of Hot Topic.
At 13:30, when he's speaking of putting Francis in the Sliver video, he finishes answering the question but he smiles and you can see his mind wonder off, thinking about his daughter. He is lost in the thoughts of his baby girl, which I think looks eerily like him now that she is grown.
Dude this sucks to hear about him talking about how he felt suicidal and how he woke up crying and in pain, forcing himself to eat... and then realizing his fate. I freaking love Kurt man. He was such a smart person and Nirvana was amazing
@@blueriver4484 I'm going to trust his own opinion of his own intelligence over your opinion of his intelligence. I'm pretty sure he states that he thinks he's dumb lol. Plus the wise man always feels that he's not that smart because he realizes the vastness of information to withhold and how one can only grab so little in a lifetime and in that realization he realizes he's dumb. With that realization he is wise. F*** with me
Were you around when he was alive? Dude the last months of his life was so hard on us. Because he tried to kill himself in Rome then months later he did it. It was terrible
he feels that way but at the same time he's the only celebrity i've come across who genuinely feels like a real person. there doesn't have to be any reminders, and there are probably a lot of factors that play into that from the way he dressed to his personality. but it really is something i love about him, he didn't change after he got famous
@@m.al-h9108 There's so many Kurt Cobain idolisers who think he was the perfect human being, most of them end up being 14 year olds and unable to comprehend that most humans have deep flaws, in this case it worked well for him and he exploited it to the maximum, while being perfectly aware of what he was doing, he wasn't innocent, he was cunning.
@@m.al-h9108 I do always think about this, the only reason he has such a legacy is because he took his own life, there's lots of other musicians as talented as him who don't get nearly enough credit. He's a heroin addict who happened to make good music, there's lots of those around.
I grew up seeing clips of this interview as a teenager here and there. I’m 32 now, Kurt still seems older than I am. I can’t imagine handling life as he did it experienced now much less a few years ago. Even Hendrix, Morrison etc they all seem..just ageless but older no matter how much time moves. I suppose that is part of the mythos of them. 14 year old me would have loved to find a full 30 minute Cobain interview inside his head, 32 year old me just wonders how that life must have felt
Drugs will only make it worse. My nephew died in Aug. He was a huge Cobain fan (Kurt would hate that statement). Now his family is living a cruel existence.
As someone who has had huge stomach problems and pain since childhood I can so relate to this. Been a Nirvana fan forever. I was in school when I heard about Kurt. He was and will for ever be loved 🖤
This is what I miss about the 90s, the way that people generally talked about things, it was a good intellectual conversation. People weren't afraid to say exactly what they thought. Not looking for politically correct angles.
I'll never forget Kurt's mom at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame when she said "He'd be so proud. He'd say he wasn't. But he would be". Man. Wish he was still here.
@@picklerick2865 it always starts with the parents and how they handle it with their kids after a divorce. Handle it wrong and you get a resentful rebellious bitter teenager like Kurt was.
J3TTXZ - You sir hit the nail on the head. Fame is crazy! Once you are famous everyone will love you for no reason. I like Nirvana and all that but to say, "they don't make them like him" is bullshit. And as you said, no one would care if he wasn't famous. You and I know this. I have a band with bad ass songs but no one gives a shit cause we are not famous. I recall reading a story that Nirvana played at a club in my hometown where 15-20 people showed up and 6 months later after nevermind came out they were playing the cow place in SFO after the big labels pushed the hell outta of this band (i.e. massive media exposure, in showbiz they call this blowing up a band through marketing and advertising). That's the power of fame. 6 months before this they were literally pretty much like a band like mine today. Fame is funny!
I love his interviews. He’s really just talking like a person on your living room couch. Most interviews I watch in the modern era feel contrived, like a performance.
I love the fact the interviewer actually sits and listens to him without interrupting, genuinely taking interest and acknowledging, having a real conversation with him, not just fireshot questions and speaking over.
Man I feel Kurt’s pain, I’ve been dealing with intense stomach pains for years and it’s been so frustrating trying all these medications N it not working. Nothing sucks more knowing you’re not being cared for the way you should and you’re left with these stabbing pains in your stomach
i am so sorry that you’re hurting this much, i genuinely hope you’ll find something that helps you and eases your pain & i wish you all the best, sending love
Props to this interviewer for being so patient and not rushing anything. I wish kurt could’ve seen why he was loved not only for his music, but for himself. He’s such an intriguing and talented person and I hope he’s at peace now ❤️
+Molly O'Curnain I am not trying to argue with a fellow fan and we should both feel stupid for trying to decode kurt's songs because we both know they really didn't mean anything just sentences thrown together at the last minute. But where did you ever see or hear that he drank that for stomach pain? In his own journals he said his friends have tried it for abortion and that it didn't work. I have been a fan a long time but I have never heard he drank that himself. Thank you
+Molly O'Curnain Yeah I found that weird because unless Kurt had a female anatomy and was pregnant, there really is no reason to drink it. I thought I was going to learn something new today but it's ok. peace.
@Reezay Yeees ( ´ ▽ ` ) And maybe just sharing stories or making random sounds he likes and enjoying himself. Something about him brings me joy as it is so I feel all that would be even more soothing xD
The magic of youtube, I watched this interview 10 years ago or more when I was a teenager and I remember it specifically because I too have IBS and shared his sentiments.
There’s a very unique calmness to him. The way he carries himself is strange. I’m not sure if it’s because he’s high but it’s so hypnotizing. I wish I was like that
Yes.. opium gives u that vibration. Alot of former users have that strange calming ethereal grace about themselves. Something delicate about the presence and yet so much colorful and beautiful air around him like a halo we all have. Jim Carroll had the same sort of presence. Instead of distorting music he saw you and the rest through distorted perceptions and painted the air with some magic and real danger of the streets echoing as poems. And like music he brings about a change in the air. That seems to swallow/posses the human. Attaining visions he once could never have imagined.
Hes on heroin its totally evident you have never been aflicted with brains and pain its totally opiate induced i did interviews on news etc. The same everyone said you were calm and really articulate and it was fkn. Good its a drag to hear everyone talk being an ex j. About a feeling i know very well dream about and miss.eventuallt ff it will make u pay the piper somehow someway theirs a saying another brilliant junkie its so on the head everyone thinks they can beat it noone does its do and die or do or die eventually its down to the reality i cant win i cant feel this way its a reality we all come to and survive it unless i have endless supply and law nor man can stop it by any means which is pretty impossible its the wall we hit .its a door opener and closer when ya need it most .the brain is tricky its also tricky were human.bless the junky man he just wants relief sad curse .
@@dharmabum2838 lmfao (even if it's 9 months) But that sounds like stories you heard from others (and you're an expert now on opiates) but never used it yourself
I always felt the same way for such a long time. But I realized we still have the music, the albums, the art, the DVDs , the bootlegs, etc. Nirvana's legacy will forever live on. They still are very much relevant in this world. I always felt like Kurt was so ahead of his time with his style, his art, his writings, music, and his intelligence. RIP Kurt Donald Cobain. Gone, but not forgotten. He lives in the hearts of the fans, friends, and family.
Everything about him was so truthful.. I don't know a better word to explain his incredible charisma. I am a fan from 1994. My one and only celebrity crush 💔
his music was certainly pure art. but in interviews he contradicts himself all the time. people are complex. i wouldnt say kurt was truthful, although his music is uncomfortably sincere
I was recommended this video after studying dialects, Kurt had such a classic WA accent with the kinda gentle take on words and the vocal "creak" or as I prefer, "rust" and I'm selfishly pleased I share the same creaky accent. I just know he's resting good with no pain, creating art and music with no pressure. He deserves it.
Now that I’m a bit older I really can realize how young he actually was when he passed. The dude had so much wisdom and accomplished so much in such a short time.
This is the first time I’ve seen this interview in years and I am struck by how calming this is. It’s oddly comforting and soothing to listen to. And it makes me cry a little bit too, looking back to that time. As the years pass, I talk to other people my age about how me and my friends skipped school and listened to music the day the news broke about his death. We were in the middle of Texas. And without the internet connecting us at the time, I find more people who did the same thing, grieved in the same ways. It’s kinda cool.
I think everything happens for a reason. I can't picture him living in today's society and quite frankly I don't think he'd want to either. A unique guy for sure.
Mariah K. I totally agree with you.He kinda knew the worst is coming and it would not be better for him in the future. These people have a high sense of whats coming.
Yes, he wouldn’t be happy with the world today! He probably knew what was coming ahead. Music has changed so much and now the world is more out of control! He’s be so sad. He would have so much trouble with society. In a twisted way, he was better off. ❤️
Oh god no, he would hate today's world waaaaaaaaaaay more than he hated the world in 1994...especially the social media and people recording everything
Gavin mf yeah he said when he was a teenager that he was gonna become a big rock star and kill himself and join the 27 club, that's why i believe that he could have been murdered, if you say it and talk about it all the time people won't question it when it happens, and Courtney knew that, i'm just so conflicted when it comes to his death, i kinda believe both theory's, both are possible and believable to me
Aria.Diablo Kurt disliked Smells Like Teen Spirit, he said that there are so many better songs on Nevermind and he didn’t get why Teen Spirit got so big. So I think that’s what he meant by it
Mr. Mr. Well he was an infp personality type likely. I am too and I'm also restless even when tired. I'm not that calm though, I think the drugs might be calming him down so much
@@usualdosage7287 I dont know him unfortunately, but one side effect of depression is low, or no energy. You just feel tired all the time, I have this.
@@cam-gv2gf still he acts as he would in just a more exaggerated manner. So here it's obvious how he just doesn't have energy anymore but is still in a constant mind race.
This is a very well done interview, casual two guys have a conversation about music, so sad he ended his life and not pursue his incredible talent further. But grateful he shared some of it with the world 🖤💜
It’s funny watching Kurt now, being 17 years older than Kurt was when he died, and remembering being 7 years younger than Kurt when he was alive....... it’s like looking at your mum and dads wedding photo as you grow up. For so long as a kid your dad looks old in it, and one day you look and you see how young your dad really was and how much older you are.
That's exactly what I was just thinking. I was only 12 when he died. I saw this & understood a good bit, but thought he was old & miserable. Now I watch this & see he was just a baby😔
@@mikewazowski1003 , It could go either way. He may or may not have been murderd. But if he'd commited suicide then Cortney definitely had something to do with it.
Ahead of his time? Are you a f+cking kid? Stop putting everything Kurt said or did on a pedestal. He was just a normal human being. People have been saying sh*t like this about doctors for centuries. I don't know any doctor that pretended to know everything?! It is not possible. Medicine is a totally imprecise science because society won't let us experiment on humans like guinea pigs. ANY medicine that has to do with anything mental (like stress induced illnesses) is impossible to predict or cure. Maybe go to the Himalayan mountains and meditate like a monk 7 days a weak.
Just like fibromyalgia…I love this man. I wish he was still here. So many of us who are so chronically sick would adore him. Still adore him. He was so sick…my heart. I’m paralyzed from a brain injury and it is hell with a slew of complications and pain. Nothing but pain. Hearing him I started crying. I finally felt understood
He was gorgeous and I can't believe the trash he was with. ( He even wanted to divorce Courtney love ) I always though she had something to do with his death. She never loved him
There's something about Kurt that saddens me a lot. I mean when I see him, when I hear him talk, there's something in his voice, in his eyes, he looks like he's kind of lost, like he's just trying to get through life somehow, but it's too hard for him, I feel like he didn't belong here. Even when he smiles, he looks kinda lost and sad, it just breaks my heart. I hope he's better now, wherever you are Kurt, may you be in peace. ♥
+haritz eraso Right! Coming off H can make you lose your mind and make your stomach hurt. He's scratching his nose, he has raspy H voice he looks lost because he's fighting a nod.
@@danganronpaxoxo7201 Actually your half lucky, since Justin Bieber is a Piscean too. the worst Pisces out of all!. i'm Leo, like Madonna, Whitney Houston, J-Lo and JAMES HETFIELD!
I could not imagine how he would be if he was still here today, I grew up with his music and fell in love I was so devastated when that happened! Love ya Kurt you are the man!!!!!!!!
Kurt's voice is honestly therapy for me. His smile makes me feel something I've never felt before. It is possible to be in love with someone you've never met.
This man was honestly a good man. I don't think it matters what music he made. This man is a calm person and he is just a good guy. His death anniversary just passed. We love and miss you Kurt
Heroin.... And you will be calm and on top of the fucking world, until you come crashing down, repeat. Addicts are misunderstood, the drugs are a solution, not the problem. They become a problem, but the illness still waits for you.
@zephyra lol, I know you are trolling, but in all seriousness, for those who don't understand addiction. It's a lack of spirituality. You are broken, and habitual drug use is a symptom of this, while it becomes a massive problem in itself, if you can find a purpose in life, something bigger than you, and you can heal, the drugs will not appeal to you snymore. Most think that drug addicts are just scared of the withdrawals. Hell no, post acute withdrawal is much worse, it's as if there's an infinite void that you can never fill, even the drugs themselves end up being not enough and that's when things really start to go south. I don't believe in a God, or rather, the God of the people, and when you go into recovery, God is pushed so hard, and if it does not resonate with you, you will relapse.... Continue trolling, as you will...
@@SyNKevN I can relate, I self harm and I do it because of how it helps me with dealing with that void. Self medication is common amongst the depressed
My 1st Ever Boyfriend had a cousin name Corey .He was the long lost child of his uncle .He was grundge, he could play guitar, his hair was real long , AND HE WAS SO SO SWEET . He always reminded me of Kurt Cobain ,Super smart , intelligent, baby face boyish look. I was like 16 im 47 now ..I didnt know what happened to him ..he was a drifter....WELL SEVERAL YEARS LATER I asked HEY WHAT HAPPENED TO COREY .I felt so sad when i learned he too had passed like Kurt but suspisious circumstance but ruled SUi--de ..When i see a video from Nirvana video or interview ..i think of them both 🙏
Oh god Kurt is not having fun at all in this interview. He clearly gets annoyed because he finds the questions irrelevant and at the end of the interview he is just answering whatever. I think like most people didn't want to talk unless is organic.
Leo Vares elsewhere yes. Here in the US no. Hospitals in the US are just places looking to empty your pockets as much as they can. They tried charging my mom almost 100k for a surgery when almost all of the charges were for doctors who were just in the room not doing anything
Stomach problems suck I can relate to him I feel so bad that he suffered through that nobody knew at this time that he was going to end up doing what he did but having that much pain and sorrow inside you obviously makes you do things all he wanted was to live a normal life like me and he couldn't nor can I it's too bad
I had a stomach pain one time actually. If it was that bad and it happened often then that is not good It felt like dying from the pain and I went to hospital for a day or two. It was really really bad but I only had it once
This is heartbreaking because I went through similar and it took YEARS to get to the root of my suffering.. it turned out it was caused by the H-pylori bacteria which can lead to stomach ulcers and if left untreated can also lead to stomach cancer. It took almost 2 years for my stomach to heal from all of the damage that went left misdiagnosed, undiagnosed and mistreated.
Crohn’s disease is what I’ve read he had- my teenage son almost got addicted to pain killers after his diagnosis- so much pain. Took years to be diagnosed properly. Everything Kurt says rings true to us. I think he really was in pain physically and mentally.
Lunchlady Kim Hopefully Your Son is doing fine and will have remission, I have the same Disease for about 7 years now and it’s not easy... I hope you two stay safe!
Lunchlady Kim When I Was First Diagnosed It was horrible, I had No appetite, didn’t eat at all any day, lost 100 pounds insanely quick... so scary! My parents had put me on so many different things, methotrexate, Pills of many sorts, and much more that I can’t remember, but finally 4 years ago I was put on Humira, and Honestly, It’s really made me feel SO much better! It really was the best option for me. Thanks for asking, and I hope Your son feels better and all being in remission, I’m glad he’s doing better!
16:27….. He was very smart and grounded. That’s very practical thinking of not wasting money on tons of videos when your music is successful, you’re already touring Etc. I’ve only recently started looking into nirvana (Kurt Cobain) more specifically, and I’m blown away by how raw and kind he was despite success. That always seems to be the way, all these “real” down to earth, talented, yet tortured souls, we lose. Kurt, Robin Williams, Princess Diana, very different but all have that sadness in their eyes if you take the time to notice. Such a loss.
