This woman made it possible for Kurt and Krist to build a fan base. What a very kind woman, and what a beauty with that dark brown hair and brown eyes.
I love Tracey. But I do think Kurt partially used her. Like if anybody else had pulled off such selfish behaviour, we’d all call him a jerk and used. But Kurt gets away with it somehow. Not cool Kurt. So where was your feminism when it came to helping with household chores?!?!?!
@@kundalinicobain6897 you are criticizing a guy that's been dead for thirty years over not doing household chores ? Speaking to him directly as if he can hear you? You are the projector here. He can't hear you. Have a clue.
And Kurt left her high and dry. All the money he made that he didn’t even care about he could’ve gave her a couple of million. Or maybe just one million. In gratitude for her basically letting him live rent free while he was getting his band off the ground. Kind of shows how selfish he could be. IMO
Agree… she was working every day till 9 to pay the bills and she worked for the band. As soon as he gets money and success he drop her. What a rude freeloader….
That’s because he was selfish he was a terrible person and so was Courtney what an evil duo they had been if you watched interviews with him and country Kurt would be so disrespectful to the interviewer he was a hypocrite (everyone knew that) and was a narcissist
Narcissists don't do that, they feel pathologically entitled to have someone else take care of them until them "make it big". They don't do chores. That's for other people menial people to do them.
Kurt was not the person the media portraied. He used Tracy to get his band to success, living rent free in her apartment while she worked till late to pay rent and bills. He was selfish and immature.
Yeah Kurt by no means was the Angel we often think he was. He was super conflict avoidant which means he was emotionally unavailable and not mature. He was an amazing artist though and I think have so many people a feeling that they belong even if they are outsiders and freaks. He was very complex and this world defo is a better place with him in it.
Reminder that Tracy found Kurt unconscious with a syringe stuck in his arm and his use only escalated from that point on as well as his ecstasy use during their relationship... Too many clueless users pretending he would still be alive if he hadn't dumped her. He was on a mission to self destruct and he didn't listen to anyone.
I can confirm that its not only famous people.... You make someone feel better and help them up from the bottom, and they abandon you and even put you down because now they feel they are better than you... Instead of expressing gratitude.
This video should be called "Kurt's first door mat" -He was a bum and used her to work and pay bills while he gained popularity in music. It was a very one sided relationship. As soon as he was able to make it on his own, he pushed her away because he didn't need her anymore. I love Kurt and Nirvana but this is the raw truth of it.
I think of their story in parallel to Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham's story... Stevie wanted to support Lindsay's success and song writing, she was waiting tables for him to live for free.... but he took her with him in his success. Stevie was part of the package deal he made when he joined Fleetwood Mac. But Kurt did not bring Tracy along for his success, and I am not sure he truly thanked her as she deserved. He left her high and dry after all she did for him.
This just confirms that no one should date or marry a person for their potential. Artist or not never build up a person. She is clearly in denial saying she doesn't know why they broke up but than says it very clearly "he was moving ahead and I wasn't", not only that, but he was garnering fame, getting other female attention and didn't need to use her for money anymore. I dislike stepping stone people.
I was in Olympia and went to Evergreen at a time when Kurt was hanging around and Nirvana was playing dive bars and parties. They weren't even a thing in Seattle yet. The effect of Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill) on Kurt's trajectory is under-appreciated. She's the reason "Smells Like Teen Spirit" had that title.
she also co-owned and operated reko muse, an art gallery and live venue that the photo for bleach was taken in (as said in the video). it was their opening night and she had nirvana play along with bikini kill (her band)
Definitely seemed like he used her as a launchpad. As soon as a hint of potential success came, ditched her. Chad, too. But in the world where we paint all dead as martyrs, that's probably something that would piss people off to say. Regardless, that seemed very selfish. Breaking up with one in the usual way can be benign but ditching his patron and his drummer within such a short time looks motivated by career instead of genuine feelings. Over the phone? FFS
@icaanul Recently broke it off with someone who I said “it’s not my problem” when they mentioned they had not made it far enough as a professional musician. It’s not. I’m not his mom. And he got very upset but it was instinctual for me. I felt repulsed by his own lack of drive and ambition. Ew!
I don't think he did intentionally, like as some sort of Machiavellian plot. He didn't know Nirvana would become NIRVANA. He didn't know if or when his music career would take off. I think he entered the relationship in good faith and it fit his life at the time, and later he felt it didn't. Clearly he wanted a partner who was also an artist. Maybe back when he was a janitor who had a band and was dating a waitress it felt comfortable and made sense, when it was looking increasingly likely that his mop pushing days would soon be behind him, he felt that he needed someone whose schedule and priorities are align with that kind of life. He probably didn't predict that his priorities would change.
@brokencandy1797 nah definitely not. You think he is a saint. It was not a matter of knowing nirvana become nirvana. It was a matter that as soon as he could make enough for him to survive he ditched her.
Tracy was the real deal. As he became richer and weirder, Kurt fantasized about having a relationship like that of Sid and Nancy. Courtney just happened to fit in perfectly. Had he lived on after those turbulent years, they (Kurt-Courtney) wouldn't have lasted long as a couple.
The guy was definitely really dark and disturbed… Fantasizing about a couple destroying themselves in appartement which look garbage deposit, who will end with the guy stabbing to death his girlfriend… I knew he was dark but not that dark..
It sounds like he was taking advantage of her. Did he ever pay her back? She did so much for him and allowed him to be in the position to be able to gig. He sounds like some men that I know; ungrateful and disloyal. I really hope that he repaid her, but I highly doubt it.
Its so tragic that this relationship ended the way it did. Both people were wrong in this circumstance. Tracy should not have threatened to kick out Kurt and should have just talked about how she was feeling and communicate what she wanted from him (which was probably stability and support). As for Kurt, he should have been more considerate of Tracy and should have held up his role in the household. Should of, would of, could of, am I right?
@@Rotwangsrobot001 You say that and I'm not saying you're wrong, but there are always two sides to every story. Saying Tracy didn't make any mistakes in the relationship would be completely unfair and not true to what really happened.
The book "Come as You are" (which was an authorized biography, from when Kurt was still alive) gives her a lot of credit, but uses the WORST pictures. I'm glad this shows her, properly, when she was young. Yes, a beauty. Kind of a Meg White vibe. Lucky guy for the time. Also, remember: Traci looks like this biologically. Courtney was ALL plastic surgery by the time they met. And even with Plastic surgery...not as pretty, lol.
@@endlessnameless6494very well noted. You can just imagine Kurt thinking “Courtney won’t like these amazing pictures of my ex”. I don’t think he mentions her plastic surgery in the book…. But now you mention that it makes you think twice about “Doll Parts”.
@@endlessnameless6494plastic or not, he was crazy in love with Courtney, her craziness, talent, charisma, punk personality while he mostly just used (and cheated on) Tracy. She definitely never had the most cake…
What a stupid comment. He loved drugs, he wanted a junkie rockstar lifestyle and he OD’d several times before dying. You can’t save people that don’t want to and he wanted all that.
@@Blisteryn fact! Live Through This was a killer album. most of the hater are kids that didn't live through it or people who were just not cool back in the day, fn narcs lop
For everyone praising Tracy saying she could have saved Kurt, if she had stuck around a decade longer she should be ur new scapegoat instead of Courtney.
I loved Nirvana growing up in the 90s, but hearing more about Kurt now it seems like he was a total selfish douche who used people while at the same time acting holier than thou. Not a surprise, I guess, considering he was a heroin junkie. It’s just disappointing that his musical genius somehow translates to him being viewed as someone with wisdom who should be looked up to.
People keep using a photo that shows Kathleen Hanna and Kurt and saying it’s Tobi Vail and Kurt when it’s not… that’s Kathleen Hanna Tobis friend and band mate who also around the time Tobi and Kurt were daring inspired the name smells like teen spirit. There’s no photos of Tobi and Kurt released or much info of their relationship..Tobi is pretty private
Tracy I always thought you were so lovely and cool...thank you for nurturing him...I never thought you got credit for how much you took care of him.... Love you... blessings always from SD
some minor bits are factually not correct,- ( like the reinserted black&white photo of Kurt with a woman in a concert audience while he blows smoke from a cigarette: as far as we know this photo is very often mistaken for being Kurt with Tracy but the woman in this one is somebody else of the Olympia and Seattle creative scene. Krist later separated from his wife, today is married to somebody else) - but we love you did this docu about Tracy Marander, we think she is the too often cut off the full picture while she backed Cobain up when he completed or even just wrote 80% of Nirvana's released music. Very good job. We thank you!
I am not a Kurt or Nirvana fan and i have very mixed feelings on whether he was actually a decent person or not. but i cant imagine anyone does not think he would have lived a happier healthier life had they made it work.
Kurt was a disturbed and mentally ill man from the start. Even before the band started, he had attempts. While he’s not the worst, he definitely isn’t as innocent as people portray him as. He was a mess, and chose to live in chaos. People with trauma or is used to pain usually tend to stay in that comfort because it’s the only emotion that gives them meaning. Prevented getting help, gradually getting worse, pressure and stress, and had a hell of a wife. He was a ticking time bomb basically, just a matter of moments until he explodes.
@@Linfindores you don't even know them or what really happened. Just like someone on the internet has no idea about your personal relationship.imagine a stranger holding you accountable when they don't even know you. That's what you're doing. It's no one else's business and only he and her know the truth. All the rest is judgement and speculation.
Any guy would be lucky to find a girlfriend like Tracy. I’m in my 50s never being married with no kids, wanting to play guitar and drive around the country aimlessly busking. I need someone who thinks what I want to do is cool.
To Tracy if you ever happen to see this, thank you. I know things don’t always work out but you gave this man the love he deserved and that says a lot about the kind of person you are❤️ Ik we’re just fans of kurt and the band Nirvana Itself but it takes a lot to sacrifice a lot for someone you love, I guess i’m like you in that way you’re one awesome woman
I don’t think it would change the fact that Kurt will still attempt. He was already suffering, even before Courtney came into the picture, she just made him worse.
Oof. Ladies, never be a sugar mama to your man. He'll eventually dump you and take his newfound manliness to another woman who hasn't seen him at his most broke.
She’s a Taurus like me. We are incredibly nurturing caring and loving. Then Courtney came! I will never forget the day Kurt died. Rest in peace sweet soul 💖🕊️💖
@@JamesBarker-qt3pb not that difficult, Courtney is basically a walking version of the dark triad test, she literally ticks off every box, and Tracy appeared to be stable, nurturing and moral. Chances are Cobain would still be alive had he not taken heroin and dated and married Courtney Love, who greatly exacerbated his issues.
Looking through these comments i think people need to keep in mind he was young, and young people nake mistakes. this man has been dead for 30 years, and did good things too! Everyone has made mistakes and we should let the man rest in peace
@@endlessnameless6494 ok but Kurt was a big fan of Sid Vicious and he surely saw Sid and Nancy film, therefore, he knew Courtney before she knew who he was. Courtney is not a bad person, she was as troubled as Kurt was. That's why they loved each other, you don't know how their lives together was outside cameras.
I think thats great that Crist married and stayed with the same girl from before his fortune and fame amd he brought he along for the ride. He's got to be one of the realest of real men who ever lived let alone lived as a rock star
Tracy is the best, she definitely doesn't get enough credit for all that she did. Such a kind soul.

There's a lot of good females but a lot of guys don't want that, they fantasize about the fast trashy types 😢
There are good females, but sadly a lot of guys fantasize about the fast, trashy types 😢
To Tracy if you ever happen to see this, thank you. I know things don’t always work out but you gave this man the love he deserved and that says a lot about the kind of person you are❤️ Ik we’re just fans of kurt and the band Nirvana Itself but it takes a lot to sacrifice a lot for someone you love, I guess i’m like you in that way you’re one awesome woman
Kurt did give Tracy a bunch of his paintings which she could cash in on quite well if she were to sell any today.
I believe Courtney also included Tracy in Kurt's funeral and memorial arrangements too
She seemed sweet and nice compared to Love he got after that what a cow!
Maybe it would have been a different story if he had stayed with Tracy..... Kurt would surely still be alive(RIP)
And Patron. Tracy supported Kurt while he wrote a lot of the music we love.
tracy is a good person. you can see it in her eyes. truly a good person.
I would want to end my life if married to Love.
You would say the same for Tracy if she had sticked longer. Leave his poor wife alone.
She really did a great job supporting him she needs credit where credit is due I would be so grateful to have a good woman like that
Not to be that guy but that isn’t Tobi vail that’s Carrie Montgomery, they never dated they were just good friends
Alot of the classic songs he wrote he wrote in her home, who's to say if he didn't live there he wouldn't have come up with them!
TRACY ❤
What a guy, he was practically living off her for all their time together, made millions, he never worked!
Sounds like he used Tracey.
She’s a beautiful woman.
Shame they never stayed together!!, Kurt would still be here😔.......
He left because his band got more recognition and left her with nothing not even a single dime 😂😂
I don’t think it would change the fact that Kurt will still attempt. He was already suffering, even before Courtney came into the picture, she just made him worse.
She and novoselic are the only two in the nirvanasphere who never said a bad thing about anybody.
@Soundscapes Rock, thanks for this video. What is the next video in the storyline?
Oof. Ladies, never be a sugar mama to your man. He'll eventually dump you and take his newfound manliness to another woman who hasn't seen him at his most broke.
She’s a Taurus like me. We are incredibly nurturing caring and loving. Then Courtney came! I will never forget the day Kurt died. Rest in peace sweet soul 💖🕊️💖
Taurus and Pisces
Tracy was so much better…,
wow what a great support for him. ❤❤❤
he was a good looking guy and she was beautiful
All women mother their first boyfriends - ask any of them. We have to teach them how to be emotionally intelligent human beings. It’s exhausting
08:20 what is the name of the song? Beautiful documentary, thank you so much!
She's like the perfect woman. Stunningly beautiful, and so kind hearted. She has the spirit of the Good Lady of the Forest for sure 🌱
Kurt is stupid for leaving Tracy for Courtney.
Difficult To Say
@@JamesBarker-qt3pb not that difficult, Courtney is basically a walking version of the dark triad test, she literally ticks off every box, and Tracy appeared to be stable, nurturing and moral. Chances are Cobain would still be alive had he not taken heroin and dated and married Courtney Love, who greatly exacerbated his issues.
Yeah, but at the same time who knows right? Maybe Tracy would be like Rita (Bob Marley's wife).
He didn't leave her for Courtney, he was later dating Tobi Vail and seeing Mary Lou Lord when Courtney called that she's pregnant
Naw
thank you tracy.
What is the song playing in the end of the video?
Looking through these comments i think people need to keep in mind he was young, and young people nake mistakes. this man has been dead for 30 years, and did good things too! Everyone has made mistakes and we should let the man rest in peace
*make
Yeah but so what? We can't comment or criticize him cause he's dead? I disagree
Sounds like Kurt kinda used that poor Tracy woman.
She got played by the nice guy
Interesting story thank you very much. We all move on.🎼🤘🏻
I also had a boyfriend who was a scab once. I dumped him.
what an eternal babe
never trust a man lol after all the hard work and the support she have done in that relationship he left her
I love Kurt.. but what you write is true... Sad but true .. 😢😢😢
Kurt had Turtles. 🐢 He just got cooler.
makes you wonder if Kurt never met Courtney if he would still be alive
He was addicted and depressed regardless of Courtney, its not her fault.
I love you tracy
Is there a book on stoicism by a female author? I’m on the hunt now.
He used her and when he didn't need her anymore, he left.
No, people change over time and they were both very young.
@@johngammon963 Yeah, this was the 90's. Way past the era when someone wanted to stay with the same person they met at 20 for life.
I don't think, quite frankly. If he used her, he would have chased her from the beginning which isnt the case here apparently.
@@MargauxMille-v2g he said in some interview he wanted his Nancy and who would be more Nancy than Courtney? He knew Courtney before Courtney knew him
@@endlessnameless6494 ok but Kurt was a big fan of Sid Vicious and he surely saw Sid and Nancy film, therefore, he knew Courtney before she knew who he was. Courtney is not a bad person, she was as troubled as Kurt was. That's why they loved each other, you don't know how their lives together was outside cameras.
Why the GC of the interview says Tracy Miranda?
I think thats great that Crist married and stayed with the same girl from before his fortune and fame amd he brought he along for the ride. He's got to be one of the realest of real men who ever lived let alone lived as a rock star
I remember Kurt mentioning Tracy.
Courtney helped Kurt to maintain being a Hair-0-wine-0 Forever.
Courtney was a talentless placed handler- who also led to his demise- like what happened with Jim Morrison and Ian Curtis 👁️
What’s the piano song? In the background
Какая любовь? Она его содержала. Вот и жил
They should've stayed together
This is love. This made me cry.
Women behind Kurt die.. is. Love. Love devil
What the hell happened? Nirvana, Alice, Chris, Scott, Chester…
IKR! I agree
