I went to bed one night, I was 17. Next morning I woke up, showered and had a bowl of cereal. Then I caught the bus to go to class. On that bus, I heard the news on the radio. Kurt found dead by police. That's all I remember of my 18th birthday.
3:55 Imagine being a fan and suddenly someone on the street tells you that your idol just blew his head off with a shotgun in such way. I'm not saying she was a fan, but just imagine finding out that way.
I was born after Kurt died, however nirvana is one of my favourite bands. and it's absolutely heartbreaking i'll never hear new music from him or ever see him live.
I was 7 when this happened and was too young to appreciate him back then until I started listening to him in my teens in the early 2000s. But I did remember seeing this all over the news when this happened and even though I didn't understand it, I was still sad.
Imagine a world that still have Kurt Cobain, George Harrison, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury, Chester Bennington alive. Srry, i cant put all names of legends here, so to be easier... IMAGINE A WORLD EVERY LEGENDS ARE STILL ALIVE
@Jonny new albums, new singles. Different songs. Old bands can still come out with gems. Look at slipknot and Rammstein last year. I'm not a Kurt fan, but what I say is that those artists could have made many more influencial songs
Back before the internet it could take days for info like this to get to you. Now whenever a celebrity dies you know about it 5 minutes later because it’s all over social media
Imagine being just at the top of your career, comitting suicide and all of your fans just find out about it on the news. I mean, I know Kurt was maybe going thru hard times and couldnt handle it anymore, but for everyone who was a fan at that period of time it must've been very shockin.
I was born in 2005, when Kurt had already left this world. Even though i never got to experience Nirvana live, they are one of my favorite bands in the world. And i promise with all i have, we won’t let their music die.
Is the black right about it being a sin, yes ,but it can be forgiven if you had a reason too like depression or just for example bullying and being teased those would be acceptable if God or Jesus would understand, and if you killed yourself just because you had no reason to it would be hell ( literally), so kurt is in heaven staying young forever
On this night, April 9th, my band The Nightshade Project co-performed with The Smashing Pumpkins in Tallahassee, Florida. The news had us all in a somber mood. On a break, we decided to play Something In The Way for our closing song. Billy and D’Arcy came out and did the second half of the song with us. I’ve never heard such a roar of applause from a Shoegaze audience.
I still remember vividly that moment when I watched the national news on TV and it was announced. Friday April 8th 1994. Like many kids of that generation it was a life changing moment for me. Changed everything from that point on as I went into my teenage years. Back then there was no internet so it was rare that Kurt or Nirvana would be on TV unless it was MTV. The radio that evening were playing Nirvana songs on repeat which I thought was strange but didn't notice anything. It wasn't until I saw Kurt on the news that evening that it hit home that he was gone.
Amazing recordings here man, never seen some of these before... But I always remember seeing BBC 1 news on the evening in 94, my heart broke and that changed my life, I was 8 years old. Nirvana and Kurt will go one forever.
Seems like yesterday,I remember watching Kurt's documentary on VCR,my pre-teen mind had no clue what was happening but I did sense something terrible happened. Flashforward,now this breaks my heart 😢
This still hurts me. Man i wish i could tell Kurt how much i miss him and how much he inspired me. i looked up to him so much. His death still disturbs me so much.
I wasn’t alive during this, I am thirteen years old but love old music like this. I love this band and I’m so sad this happened. Long live Kurt!! We love you Kurt
If he was missing for 6 days & he owned that house in Seattle why did no one look there sooner? I don't get it? Did he own that many houses that they just didn't think to look?
Courtney hired a P.I and he searched the property etc. And was not told of the greenhouse (which is where he was) the investigators f@#ked up so bad and did such a pathetic excuse of an investigation- the P.I wasn't taken seriously with the information he aquired and wasn't even interviewed initially even though he asked to talk to the lead investigator as he was on the property the previous evening. Watch the documentary soaked in bleach. Its incredibly telling
Kurt had called Mark Lanegan several times in those last 6 days. Mark details it in his book “Sing Backwards and Weep”. I wish Mark had spoken to Kurt those last days. He left messages on his answering machine (remember those). I’m sure it weighs heavy on Mark to this day. He never returned Courtney’s phone calls. He just didn’t want Courtney to find him. If he didn’t want to be found, then why is he calling friends??? We all miss Kurt.
Watching this without even being born then, made me feel extremely upset. I wish I could live there when he was alive, i wish i could listen to their music, when he was still alive, i wish i could know him, when he was alive. Yes, the pain could've been bigger, but at least I would know him. Now is worse, because my generation can only see him in photos or music videos. The good news here is we're able to hear his voice whenever we want, at least. We love u Kurt, no matter how much time has passed you'll stay in our hearts forever.
"Kurt Cobain, lead singer of the group Nirvana was found dead at his Seattle home. He apparently shot himself in the head. Here's a small portion of what he left behind^ REALLLLLY
He died 13 years before I was born. I am a big fan of Nirvana. That goes to show that his music will inspire future generations. R.I.P Kurt. You are NEVER gonna be forgotten🌹❤
I'm glad there are still kids like you who listen to Nirvana. I was 12 in 2003 when I became obsessed with Nirvana/Kurt Cobain and all these years later it's still my favorite band. I used to cry myself to sleep at night listening to Come As You Are. The emotion he conveyed through his music hit me hard as a young teen.
I love Nirvana. I was 23 when he passed away. Now my two grown sons listen to Nirvana songs. I still wish that Kurt were alive. I would had love to seen what all he could have accomplished. I’m still not convinced he committed suicide. Lots of questions....
I wasn´t even on earth at the same time this man was. So how does he mean so much to me? why does it pain me to know that he is gone? Kurt´s hell was on earth and he struggled so much. His legacy will live on and he will hold a bigger place in my heart than anyone else ever can.
Its hard to explain the impact this had. I was 17 when he died. News didn't travel like it does now. Small trickles of news until it was officially announced. Then waiting for the magazines to write about it.
RIP Kurt Cobain is a grunge king. Today's music is not music. it's a nasty waste without emotion. His music was exceptional in that he really left a piece of himself in it and I love that it is as it is. And I'm so sad that today's generation doesn't even know who it was, FANS we must not allow him to be forgotten. We must spread his message further!
Young Beauty, i hope your life is well two years after this comment and i hope your passion is still burning strongly as this. Today's music is still music but more exploitative and generic. Comes with living in a "use and throw away" society.
Remember the day so well, I had been scoffing Milk Tray the day before for my birthday - not realising he was lying dead alone. I was in a psychiatric hospital within 6 months - he was THAT important.
I ran into Kurt around April 5th 1994 6:42 AM while getting my mail in the mail box and its crazy how no one acknowledge Kurt in his sweater that his body was found wearing.
Still hits. I was 14 and on holiday in Kent. Owner of B&B spotted my Nirvana t shirt and said something about him dying. My dad reckoned he was on wind up or just talking about the Rome incident. That day I got my first guitar from Argos. All I wanted to play was Nirvana. I was buzzing about the guitar but dreading watching the news... Given lack of Internet I had to wait for news at ten. First half of programme made no mention. I breathed a sigh of relief as my mind reckoned it would be the biggest story... Then came Alistair Burnett and that short sharp shock of a report. Spent that night and the 10 hour journey home trying not to greet while playing In Utero on a loop.
my mum and dad was dating at the time they was in there mid 20s and they both tuned into the news and was absolutely heart broken when they found out kurt cobain died they was massive nirvana fans
Note one thing: Suicide isn't a solution. You know, I myself had these thoughts, feeling engaged because he did it since he was my teen idol. As an adult and logical thinking person now years after my depression, I have to say it's an illness and he was just infected, like I was once too. It doesn't make sense to waste your life and there is nothing like "it's better to burn out, than to fade away" as Kurt cited Neill Young in his suicide note. You can't know whether the best part of your life is just waiting to get discovered.
i find it really odd that both my mother and kurt were born the same exact year. she immigrated to the US in the late 90s and she wasn’t really a fan of grunge but she allowed me to listen to everything musicwise, so when i was watching a documentary on nirvana she still remembers when the news broke out and she tells me a bit heartbroken “oh i remember how horrible it was hearing that, he must have been hurting”
I remember the day Kurt died. I was nearly 16. He was the voice of the woes of Generation x. He sang from the heart. He was an angel. I still feel sad all these years later xx.
I born in 1994 and unfortunately he die in this same year :( but i feel a lil comforted that i was already alive into my mothers utero when he was still alive in this same world ❤

Iñaki Gonzalez His death solidified his legacy, as it does with most people. He didn’t become washed out and irrelevant
I think it’s a good thing that he didn’t see the world today, he would’ve hated basically everything about today’s society.
@kurt cobain lol
we all do
Same.
I went to bed one night, I was 17. Next morning I woke up, showered and had a bowl of cereal. Then I caught the bus to go to class.

@Æ N I Ǝ M A shit dude😳
About as awful as you can imagine
Pretty much gutted because they were at the top of the charts and no one I knew anyway, knew he had depression and physical issues. Total shock.

I was born 3 months after his death...so close but nevertheless so far away to live in his era 💔

Keep Kurt’s legacy alive!
That t-shirt was wrong, Kurt was in hell while he was living.

True x
Actually the internet was around in 1994. I've looked at old Usenet posts from April 1994 and theres plenty of discussion about Kurt.
its better now
Trust me when this happened it was all over news and radio. It got out into the world fairly quickly
Dammit! it still hurts the same as when I was 18 and realized I would never see him perform or listen to new music
I was 21 when this happened and remember it like it was yesterday. I still love Nirvana and so does my 19yr old son.

Well imagine how his mother felt. Mental illness is tragic for everyone involved.

4:58 "suicide is a sin" ok. this is also why we needed people like Manson too.
Lol true

She wasn’t impressed. Firecracker.
Kurt's music kept me going when my emotions felt too numb to express, my love for his music never died.
That “Kurt’s in Hell” t-shirt is disgusting. What a despicable thing for that guy to do.
The guy is an attention seeking loser!

i find it really odd that both my mother and kurt were born the same exact year. she immigrated to the US in the late 90s and she wasn’t really a fan of grunge but she allowed me to listen to everything musicwise, so when i was watching a documentary on nirvana she still remembers when the news broke out and she tells me a bit heartbroken “oh i remember how horrible it was hearing that, he must have been hurting”
this is history, i want to cry
I remember the day Kurt died. I was nearly 16. He was the voice of the woes of Generation x. He sang from the heart. He was an angel. I still feel sad all these years later xx.
The black dude with the shirt needs to chill big time
You know you've made a difference when you have people mourning you even though you died before they began existing.
Remember this day like it was yesterday.
It kinda feels eerie to hear them talk so calmly. Then again, I guess news reporters usually get news like this and they get an immunity or something.
I'm not crying, you are
I born in 1994 and unfortunately he die in this same year :(
but i feel a lil comforted that i was already alive into my mothers utero when he was still alive in this same world ❤
