I saw Kurt and Courtney at Disneyland outside of Pirates when I was a sophomore in high school so 1992? - it was nighttime and they were buying popcorn. He had bright pink hair and was maybe my height (I’m 5’4”). I remember my friends and I got his autograph and no one really knew Courtney at the time because she stood off to the side while we all had Kurt sign our Disneyland guide maps.
@damselcausingdistress81no sounds about right. Kurt was about 5’7 and he hunched a lot when walking. Around this time he had the reddish/pink hair and they were living in LA. Courtney wasn’t that well known then, she was a little bit bc she was into the scene but it wasn’t till whenHole released 1994 Live Through This on the week of Kurt’s death when she got the notoriety she rly craved.
Im actually very surprised that she stood aside to let him sign autographs. From what ive read im even surprised to hear that he was out in public in 1992, seeing that he took an instant dislike to been recognised overnight due to the phenomenal success of Nevermind. Doesnt sound like their usual characters at all, but then everyone has their good/bad days.
@secondbest2 why would someone bs and waste time commenting about such a simple story? The guy took a flight to Chicago Next to Kurt Cobain why so hard to believe?
As a 40 year old, I can honestly say it’s very difficult to comprehend how huge Nirvana was and only on the national stage for roughly 4 years. Such a lasting impact and how weird is it that the genre died shortly after Kurt. Some say it was never meant to last anyway, but his passing definitely sped up the process. Great vlog Adam. Take care
It was huge because he was the friend, the boy friend, the brother everybody dream to have. He was charismatic, not like those movie stars but like the cool genious guy you meet at school. That's all.
@jebstuart4004 you're way the hell off...but o.k. I am frm Seattle, in my early twenties when our grunge music went mainstream, and had been going to see what then was called Fecal Matter...then going to Nirvana. They always would play with Screaming trees...which are formed and became big around the same time....their from my hometown. You must be pretty young and really dont know because you weren't there, to know. He was sarcastic as hell and didn't like to be bothered. And you never see him standing and signing autographs. Now you know the truth.
I saw Kurt and Courtney walking around downtown Athens, Ga. 2 or 3 times during 93. That same year Nirvana played a daytime outdoor concert right beside my dorm. I have no clue why I didn't go but I did open my dorm window and listened to the entire concert.
Another famous person who changed the world and went on to pioneer and influence popular culture, is the burial site of Bruce Lee in Lake View cemetery WA. His son Brandon is also buried with him. May they rest in peace.
God, I remember so well when Brandon Lee died! I thought about his senseless death so much when the Alec Baldwin accidental movie shooting thing happened.
@@michelehood8837 Yep, I've been to Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee gravesite in WA state.. Was anyone convicted of Brandon Lee's death? I know he died on set. Adam the Woo should visit Bing Crosby's house, Microsoft Bill Gates headquarters, Amazon Jeff Bezos, Starbucks first coffee shop. The most famous companies started in Seattle.
I saw Nirvana in October 1993 on the In Utero tour. It's hard to believe just a few months later what happened. Thank you for showing us these locations that many of us around the country and the world couldn't go to see in mourning almost 30 years ago.
Adam, you deserve to win some type of award for putting together these great and highly thought out daily impromptu videos! Your content is excellent!!
Great vid Adam. They actually swap out the wood from the bench periodically. It has been documented that individual pieces have been put up for auction throughout the years. I just wanted people to know that the current wood is not the original wood from the bench in 94. One of the original benches was sadly destroyed in a fire that engulfed the Aberdeen Museum of history where it was being stored.
@@TheDailyWoo My Youth Pastor drove us to Cobain, Love and Frances' Medrona/Broadmore West Seattle Mansion a few times in late 1997. It had become a Tourist Spot for Local Seattle Nirvana fans. The Greenhouse was STILL there then, but it was locked away and GUARDED by Security. Love allowed everyone to hang on the Bench outside, its where people gathered and played Nirvana music and gave out Kurt Cobain T-Shirts(Showing him as a Child with the 1967-1994 Epitaph). Courtney had the Greenhouse Demolished around 1999, because people kept BREAKING into it and occasionally, Junkies would have sex in it.
Nirvana, my most favorite band of all time. I wish I was born a few years earlier to see them at their peak. All we have today are Nirvana cover bands. Kurt’s legacy will never die and it’s such a shame he passed the way that he did.
It was a great time but the first year after his death was very grimm… wasn’t nice. It got better after ‘95 again. Go watch bands like Mudhoney, they STILL tour. 🤟🏼
@kildigdotcom4599Well that’s your opinion, but countless millions around the world just might disagree. The music of Nirvana sounds just as powerful and intense today as it did the day it was written and given that the big radio stations now only ever play bubblegum pop, I can’t see any reason for Kurt’s musical legacy to fade.
@@DWINC 1994 was ROUGH for Courtney Love, not only did Kurt take his own life leaving her and Frances behind, but Kristen Plaff OD' on Tar and Hole was JUST getting Started. The Tour must have been incredibly TOUGH for her to do.
@@jamestheadvisor1650 King County Coroner and Seattle Police Department Ruled Unanimously that Cobain died by Suicide. Case is Closed for a Reason. The Fingerprints found on the 20 Gauge matched Kurt, It was Also Registered to Him, Credit Card Records showed Cobain's Signature on Receipts and the Handwriting ALSO matched him. His Pager was also found where Love had multiple times attempted to reach him from Rehab with an L.A. Area Code of 213. Why don't you and Tom Grant March down to the King County,WA Coroner Office and DEMAND that they listen to your Conspiratorial nonsense?
Twenty-nine years ago next month, I was supposed to go to my first Nirvana concert, at the Ahoy Arena in Rotterdam. The same tour you got to see them on earlier, Adam. That last part of the European leg of the In Utero Tour was canceled however, after Kurt overdosed in Rome and was taken back home. Less than two weeks later that tragic day happened in Seattle… Thanks for sharing your experiences with us, great vlog!
@@hectorlopez1069Yup. It was March 1st. 1994. I was fortunate enough to see them in Ljubljana, Slovenia Feb. 27th, 1994. I remember Kurt wearing a blue shirt. Never thought that he’d be gone so soon after that.
I remember the day he died like it was yesterday. Driving home and the radio was playing song after song by Nirvana back to back. I remember thinking, "I wonder if there's going to be a concert announcement.." In Bloom ended and the DJ came on, "Once again if you're just joining us, Kurt Cobain lead singer for Nirvana...." Crushed.
Yes me too, i was 17 last school year. I remember TV and radios saying 2 to 3 days before, he left L.A and can't be found.....A Friend of mine said as a joke, he is with pills and champagne somewhere ( thinking about Rome incident covered by medias).....the truth was worst. So sad.
I was about 5 years old when I remember the radio playing every song back to back. During come as you are and lithium my dad mentioned he just died then the announcer came on. My dad used to sing come as you are and lithium in the car with us even though he wasn’t the biggest fan.
I was living in Olympia the day the news broke of his death. Years prior I was a pizza delivery dude and delivered a pizza to the Capital Theater to some dude tipped me with a joint. I didn’t know until later that day when someone asked me “How was he?” that that guy was Kurt Cobain.
I just went there today. The roads are small, very curvy and sharp turns, but lots of nice willow trees and you can walk down to the lake. You can see the top of the house but that's about it. Can't say I blame the new owners. I went to the benches. There's lots of tributes, beer cans, notes and garbage on them. The second bench says 'Layne Staley's Bench", which I really liked. Layne died eight years after Kurt did. The neighborhood seems to be very peaceful and quiet. I only stayed for about ten minutes though.
Adam has lived my dream life!! Even though my mom’s youngest sister and I are estranged, I gotta thank her for introducing me to some really great music at a very young age. Watching Nirvana’s music videos on mtv (back when mtv was good) is definitely a core memory for me. Rip kurt. You’ll never be forgotten. Your legacy lives on in your music and in the people whose lives you touched
i was a very late bloomer, Kurts' age, lived through it and was a Nirvana fan from eary 91 on. I made the Texas triangle all 3 shows, and I'll never forget telling my friend who drove it, that if they keep up that pace they will be dead inside a year, and I was wrong it was just over a year. Still can't believe he's gone, I only have memories of him here, very much alive. I've got my memories, photos etc. I got sober Friday April 8th that early morning and am grateful for that for many reasons
That guy who refused to take money for a tip is a man of character and principles, it's a real shame that folks like that are rare in this world. Respect bro whoever you are I dig your vibe mate, you made a stranger smile today. Much love. God bless. Thanks for reading my msg 👍🏼
Thx for This Adam. I have been to the bench in 2000. also, Aberdeen and Hoquiam early years under the bridge before it has become Kurt’s Park, his 1210 home and the rehearsal space above Krist’s mom’s salon. Hope you get to do some of these. Keep up the kool videos!
Not a fan of nirvana, but as an artist, I can appreciate what Kurt and the guys did. Gone too soon for sure. It's amazing to think what more great stuff people like him and Elvis etc would've done if they were around longer.
Thanks for the video, Adam. Last fall, I took my Mom to Kurt's childhood home in Aberdeen and the memorial (with it just a couple hours from where I live), and it was really eye-opening for both of us to contextualize where his music's sound was inspired by. The neighborhood had cracks in the street and the sky was gray, but the house's new owners renovated the front porch, took out the shrubs and the Daily World mailbox, and repainted the house itself. They even placed a polite "do not disturb" sign posted out front near the front door. Using Columbo-like research skills, I was able to show my Mom where Kurt's room was, where he stood on the front porch with his sister in that one famous photo, and even where the shrubs were originally located. We met people from all over the country at the memorial and even chatted with a group all the way from Louisianna on a pilgrimage. It was so quiet there, you can hear a pin drop next to the Wishka River Bridge where "Something In The Way" was inspired by. It was a really surreal experience for sure.
My fiance & I took the same trip in 2021 and made a video for TH-cam! Thanks for this video because I got to see the rock we wedged in between the wood of Kurt's bench was still there very tightly. ❤️ RIP Kurt Cobain
My family has had a sporting goods shop since 1993. I was twelve when Kurt passed. I signed the wall in the skate sharpening room the say he passed. It's still there. Nirvana changed my life.
The inside the hotel must have been very interesting just watching it made me feel Kurt's vibe and glad you got inside to document it. This was such a good watch Woo, hope to see ya in Oregon..✌️😎
I'm not a Nirvana fan, but this was really fascinating. Here's a tip for a possible future trip! If you go to see his home in Aberdeen, not far from there (just down the river and around the corner) is the Grey's Harbor Historical Seaport, which is the homeport of the Lady Washington, the boat/ship that portrayed the HMS Interceptor in POTC#1. Also was in Star Trek: Generations, Once Upon A Time, and Revolution. She does public sailings, with are fantastic. I got to live onboard her years ago, doing their 'Two Weeks Before the Mast' training program. Amazing experience! 🥰
I don't get people who say "they don't like this band or that band". I understand if you hate their entire genre of music, but most bands have at least some redeeming songs.
I just wished Kurt coulda KICKED his Heroin addiction. Love only did it because Seattle Child Services and L.A. CPS were going to take Frances away from them. She GOT herself Sober so they could keep their Infant Daughter.
I visited Kurt’s bench in 2012 and carved something on it. I kept pausing the video to see if I could find it! The bench has way more on it now than it did then. Love this video.
Ah 8 days too late, yer in my neck of the woods. One of the music stores Kurt visited was down here in the Olympia area. The original location doesn't exist anymore and now is a McDonalds, Music 6000 (6000 Pacific Ave SE) has since relocated twice but still sports a signed by Kurt and framed receipt on the wall at it's current location. I remember at the original location, going into the front doors and down to the right a flight of stairs to the basement of the music store (originally was a church building) and tinkered with the keyboard synthesizers and audio gear. Heck, I could have passed Kurt in the store and never knew it.
HEY ATW... I REALLY ENJOYED TODAY'S ADVENTURE. The awesome content aside, bringing your brother-in-law and sister along because he loves Nirvana really says a lot.
I was in my 40's in the 90's and I like metal , but I did respect the new music made by Nirvana. I was shocked when I heard of his death . I was later surprised that Dave Grol was their drummer . I will never forget when the other guitar threw up his guitar and it hit his head knocking him out and no one noticed ! Gail D.
So interesting. Thanks so much for documenting this. I was a grungie, and Kurt's death shook us all to the core. The voice of my generation, suddenly gone. I'll definitely add the memorial to my plans when I get to Seattle. Thanks for all you do.
I Lived there for 3 Years. The Nirvana fans up there are TRUE Nirvana fans. They're humble and will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about Kurt Cobain's Bio and his Life Story and NONE of them believe that "Soaked in Bleach" Garbage. They all universally agree that Cobain killed himself and was a Paranoid, Confused, Suicidal Junkie.
I understand incesticide was a compilation of b sides, Sliver was a 1990 recording but the video was done in 1993 apparently, at the house where you filmed.
i have been reading some articles that Kurt really did not know how to take all the fame and fortune, and had to become introverted to it all to get away, he ended up at places like a motel room, sitting in the closet, feeling a lot safer away from the pressures, and we all continued to listen to his music, finding out about the Rome overdose, losing track of him for a few weeks, then later on the Mtv report of his suicide...WOW it really shocked me, what had happened, then reports of him being killed off by Courtney, taking pills and writing his famous note, blowing his head off, a gruesome detail..it's no wonder we all were saddened by his sudden passing as we were, it happened so fast, we had to stop and take it all in, one moment your here the next your gone..............R.I.P....TAKE YOUR TIME HURRY UP, DON'T BE LATE AS I WANT YOU TO BE AS A FRIEND.
Could you imagine one day you can go anywhere you like and not worry. And next day being mobbed by people. He wanted his band to be known. But nobody knew they were going to blow up.
Addiction has a tendency to do that to people, even those who are not famous. Most alcoholics stay In a room for days drinking themselves to death while totally depressed, it's a mental illness.
@@martymartin2894 my best friends daughter just overdosed and passed away this week. She was a the kindest and prettiest girl. She was 24. We got some rough days ahead of us
They really enjoyed your video. Your details are amazing. I see many videos of the same places that you have covered today but your details were really good. I am die hard nirvana and I miss Kurt so much so I appreciate what you’ve shown us today. Anybody that is a good diehard nirvana fan should watch your stuff. It was great thanks.
Been a Kurt fanatic since I was 7 when he died. Changed my life, honestly don't know if I could say it had a good impact on me, he did but his death, honestly destroyed my insides. My mother left me about a year before he died. When she left Kurt/nirvana is what I had. Then shortly he was gone too and even as a kid, it killed me. I'm 38, I'm still dead inside and I'm sorry to my kids and my wife. I'll never forgive myself
@cbl4012 I am so sorry for you. You are psychologically injured from complicated grief. You suffered two major losses in a short period of time and have never healed from it. I would say to try to find help for your unresolved grief. I can't say it will work, as it didn't with mine. But you have a wife and a child. After my last death, my 26 yr son's S, I broke. But by then I'd already had my dad (i was 13), mom, brother and furbaby die (all w/i 6 mths time), so...... I was left completely alone. The pain is too huge and I can't get past it all. I understand feeling dead inside, Sometimes our hearts close down when someone we love is lost forever. It is our protection, our way of saying, "My heart will NOT be broken like this again, as I will never allow my heart to explode with love like this for anyone ever again. This way I can't be hurt again, as it feels unsurvivable. Maybe if you allow your wife and kids to love you and warm up your heart, it will thaw. Good luck. If you don't see this, I hope someone else will benefit. 💓
From 11-14 years old Nirvana was the soundtrack of my life. Living through that era of 91-94 was incredible for music. We were so excited for each new grunge/ rock release.
The irony is endless to me, how so many people travel to Aberdeen and they exploit him to make money, while Kurt absolutely hated it and wanted nothing more than to leave. He was my inspiration to pick up a guitar as a kid, literally learned just by ear and watching his hands. Also a role model after my parents divorced. I wonder if Kurt ever truly felt at home again after his parents split. I don't think I could handle actually being in these places, it might be too overwhelming. That being said, I believe the first house you showed is where we get the footage of Kurt on the balcony from a movie I won't mention, it never added up with the Lake Washington house. I also don't think he was at the Cactus, although the dessert first thing is common for heroin addicts. He was known to have been at the park with Francis according to a neighbor and seemed very happy. The last credible sighting was in fact at Linda's Tavern by Charles Peterson who Kurt gave his new number to...and I appreciate your terminology of Kurt's passing. None of us were there, and I'm no gatekeeper but dead men can't pull triggers. Thanks for this
I have been waiting for you to do this video, Adam. I have been to the bench and house, but never to the other locations. My heart aches for Frances Bean . Thank you for this touching video and showing how many people have been touched by his music and short life.🙌🙏💙
Being from Washington state in America is like being from Wales if you're British. 80% of the time its grey, raining, windy, cold, or any combination of autumn winter vibes. Personally i love driving in the rain and love being able to drive around really hilly places and enjoy not having to trek in the cold and wet (I learned to appreciate the little things in life much more in recent times and I'm really glad I did). Thanks for making this video so I could kind of feel like I've been there with you lol. Happy travels to all 🙏🏼 God bless you mate. Subscribed 👍🏼
That's rad they let you in the room. And I've mentioned it before in the past, but I still think it's cool that we were at the same Nirvana concert at the Lakeland civic center 30 years ago. Man time flies. I liked the breeders. I lost my shoe in the mosh pit according to my friend haha. I don't remember it. I still have my ticket stub.
@@TheDailyWoo Adam, have you seen this documentary about the inconsistencies surrounding Kurt Cobain's death? Did you know that just days before he asked that Courtney be taken out of his will? th-cam.com/video/VXrZp9bNS2s/w-d-xo.html
Oh Adam, thanks for making this. I left San Francisco at 18, to move to the Seattle area in 1993. I was there for 28years, and now I am in Texas with my husband and kids. This video brings me back to the place where my life truly began. Thank you!
As somebody who is the same age as you, we know where we were when we heard Nirvana and how it changed us and our views of music. Nevermind was an album that changed the scene. Great vlog ATW as usual! Have a great rest of the week and hopefully you are traveling safe and having fun! We can't wait to see you again on the road someday if you are down......shall you?
Nirvana is before my time, but these places you showed and in particular the signed fences and benches by Kurt Cobain's house are something I'd like to see next time I visit Seattle
FYI, when you were at Kurts house the tall buildings across from the lake was Bellevue, not downtown Seattle. Great video though, a couple of these spots i was unaware of.
Kurt never wanted to be anyone's hero. He didn't want anyone to look up to him or worship him. He just wanted to play music with his friends. Unfortunately that's exactly what ended up happening. Kurt was a troubled genius who could not enjoy fame or the loss of privacy. He attempted to end his life multiple times to escape it. Some people idolize Kurt and cannot accept that. The hero rebel musician that they created in their own head would never end his own life that way. As a result those people will embrace any conspiracy theory. Kurt was a real person who suffered and made his choice. Nobody murdered him. Nobody needed to.
@Live Fast Die Quick I find it amusing how people like you always have something to say about other people's opinions like your the internet police. So my hats off to you captain keyboard warrior. You can move out of your moms basement anytime now so that poor woman can enjoy life without having to make you hot pockets.
kurt wasn’t a troubled genius. he was a normal guy who was thrown into the mainstream media. he also wasn’t a genius, he was talented, as well as he was strategic. his calculated comments and releases put him into the mainstream, but he was by no means a genius. he was troubled, but he was a normal human being with thoughts and emotions.
Very cool episode with a very Seattlesque atmosphere & weather. I’m a Pearl Jam and Soundgarden fan but also love Nirvana and Alice in Chains. I’ve never been to Seattle but I can feel why their music had that vibe. Thanks for your great work Adam.
I was at the hotel room about a year ago. I thought the owner was a real nice guy, he just handed me the guy at let me explore as long as I wanted. He told me when he bought the place there were signed paper records from the guests in the office, but he searched and didn't find anything from Kurt (said if there was anything, the previous owner probably took it). He also said there were some other motels on the same road where Kurt stayed but they have been demolished.
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me Tell me where did you sleep last night In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine I would shiver the whole night through My girl, my girl, where will you go? I'm going where the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine I would shiver the whole night through Her husband was a hard working man Just about a mile from here His head was found in a driving wheel But his body never was found My girl, my girl, don't lie to me Tell me where did you sleep last night In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine I would shiver the whole night through (Shiver for me) My girl, my girl, where will you go?

I hold Kurt Cobains memorial every year theres only 2 of us. At his Seattle home I spend over allday there. I bought and still have the paper from a child the day he passed🙏Nirvana for life👍His heroin dealer lived right down the street RIP Kurt from the motel.We hangout in his bar also us huge Nirvana fans meet up. The day he died I was a kid my dad had the Beatles I had Nirvana that day the story broke on mtv I was in a daze. I went to a Nirvana tribute show it was Awesome I was in the front the drummer cameover and we rocked it felt like the 90s🤘I go to his house and just listen to Nirvana on a nice day we sit on his bench w a bluetooth. I read everyones message left every year I cry . 😪They say it always rains it doesnt. My sister in Aberdeen was little in the 90s my family knew Kurt she was little and she jumped in his arms at a day house party bbq he was so nice🤘Cactus next to his house I always have lunch its nice🤘Now Cactus is a chain he only had dessert and they gave me his dessert for free🙏Dont climb the gates the garage was torndown a new carport is built if u walk up the stairs and look down the shot from Seattle times theres a homeless guy who lives under that tree near the house. Ive spent over 50hrs there its a beautiful spot👍The carport is where he died on the left from the back. Thanks Adam I know how much u love old grunge.
about the Lane Staley thing: my mom said she used to work with Mike Starr's mother in the early to mid 90's (bassist of Alice in Chains) Another one that died young. :\
thanks for the video Adam. i always wanted to know where my 9th cousin Kurt Cobain lived in Seattle .i lived in Vancouver wa for 5 years and always wanted to visit the places where he lived . thanks for the awesome video
Kurt died too young at 27. He unfortunately joined the 27 year club that includes Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and Janice Joplin. They all died way too young.
Wow. My brother and I did a road trip to Seattle. circa 1994, because we are huge Pearl Jam fans. We also were visiting filming locations for the movie Singles. Crazy, I know. Anyways, when you went to the Marco Polo Motel, it totally kicked me face, as that was the Motel we stayed at when we visited Seattle. Up until this moment, it was just another motel. I dug up a picture of me in front of the motel and sure enough, it's the same motel.
Great to see you visiting new areas of the country that you haven’t covered much in the past. Head over to Portland and check out the filming locations for the goonies!
Even tho Kirk's been dead 30 years. I'm surprised the bench hasn't been treated so it doesn't deteriorate any more. In 10 to 20 years time That bench might not be there any longer and that will be a right shame. from 🇬🇧👍👍 an old cockney gal
Nirvana was definitely the band that got me into playing music. I then moved from that into Slayer/Pantera/Metallica/Megadeth, but I always liked Nirvana right up there with them. The "In Utereo" chick on the album cover is on my tatt list.
I wish I could have seen Nirvana during their peak. I was 5 when Kurt died and didn't get into them until I was in middle school. You are so lucky to have went! I bet it was surreal. Great video as always!
Well said musicians sometimes never realise what a profound effect they have in people's lives, I'm a massive LP fan and miss Chester Bennington every day. Their music inspires us in ways some people don't understand
I stayed at the Marco Polo a couple of times before I moved up to Seattle from the Oregon coast. I never knew Kurt stayed there! I would order dessert before breakfast sometimes.🤷🏽♀️
You came to Washington? I wish I could’ve shaken a hand and made a friend. I lived in Aberdeen for a year. Experienced the street live there and Olympia as well. Tough streets. Glad I have a new life now.
Great video ! The documentary that involved the private investigator is what finally turned me against almost all documentaries. 98% are biased and tell a one sided story.
I luv " Where did you sleep last night " song . I would listen hundreds times. I'm so sad , it makes me cry thinking bout him & his life... I can't live in Seattle, it's so depressing weather ... You will be missed & luv forever Kurt 💔
Thank you Adam for doing this tour of Kurt! Use to live north of Seattle for 30 years on Whidbey Island. If you want to film a place film Deception Pass Bridge on Whidbey Island!
The fact that he ate dessert first is not that unusual. His heroin addiction had reached its peak and heroin addict tend to develop a sweet tooth as their addiction worsens.
For your question if kurt sat in the park by his house. There was a couple sitings of him sitting in the park looking Ill and wearing a heavy coat which I assume it was his brown corduroy coat that was with him the day he passed away. And those sitings were a couple day's before he passed away. From what I've read and heard. Great video on such a great and wonderful person. Thank you for sharing this great video/vlog and have a great day.

I saw Kurt and Courtney at Disneyland outside of Pirates when I was a sophomore in high school so 1992? - it was nighttime and they were buying popcorn. He had bright pink hair and was maybe my height (I’m 5’4”). I remember my friends and I got his autograph and no one really knew Courtney at the time because she stood off to the side while we all had Kurt sign our Disneyland guide maps.
Great. A normal guy.
luckyyyy
@damselcausingdistress81no sounds about right. Kurt was about 5’7 and he hunched a lot when walking. Around this time he had the reddish/pink hair and they were living in LA. Courtney wasn’t that well known then, she was a little bit bc she was into the scene but it wasn’t till whenHole released 1994 Live Through This on the week of Kurt’s death when she got the notoriety she rly craved.
@damselcausingdistress81 She wasn't well known before 1991.
Im actually very surprised that she stood aside to let him sign autographs. From what ive read im even surprised to hear that he was out in public in 1992, seeing that he took an instant dislike to been recognised overnight due to the phenomenal success of Nevermind. Doesnt sound like their usual characters at all, but then everyone has their good/bad days.
Sat next to Kurt on a flight from LA to Chicago in late '91. We just spoke about family. He was softly spoken and very polite. Cool guy.
I’ll take “things that never happened for $1000 Alex”
I met Kurt on a flight from Boston to LA in 2001. Really chill guy
@I-See-In-The-Dark your joking right?
@secondbest2 why would someone bs and waste time commenting about such a simple story? The guy took a flight to Chicago Next to Kurt Cobain why so hard to believe?
As a 40 year old, I can honestly say it’s very difficult to comprehend how huge Nirvana was and only on the national stage for roughly 4 years. Such a lasting impact and how weird is it that the genre died shortly after Kurt. Some say it was never meant to last anyway, but his passing definitely sped up the process. Great vlog Adam. Take care
It was huge because he was the friend, the boy friend, the brother everybody dream to have. He was charismatic, not like those movie stars but like the cool genious guy you meet at school. That's all.
@jebstuart4004 you're way the hell off...but o.k. I am frm Seattle, in my early twenties when our grunge music went mainstream, and had been going to see what then was called Fecal Matter...then going to Nirvana. They always would play with Screaming trees...which are formed and became big around the same time....their from my hometown. You must be pretty young and really dont know because you weren't there, to know. He was sarcastic as hell and didn't like to be bothered. And you never see him standing and signing autographs. Now you know the truth.
@@jebstuart4004Sure bud...
I saw Kurt and Courtney walking around downtown Athens, Ga. 2 or 3 times during 93. That same year Nirvana played a daytime outdoor concert right beside my dorm. I have no clue why I didn't go but I did open my dorm window and listened to the entire concert.
Huh??
THAT is a freaking amazing memory - wow!
i wonder if he was hangin with REM thats where they're from.
@@caseyjones3522 They did hang together in Athens but I don't have any memories of seeing them together, albeit some memories are fuzzy. lol
Another famous person who changed the world and went on to pioneer and influence popular culture, is the burial site of Bruce Lee in Lake View cemetery WA. His son Brandon is also buried with him. May they rest in peace.
God, I remember so well when Brandon Lee died! I thought about his senseless death so much when the Alec Baldwin accidental movie shooting thing happened.
@@michelehood8837 Yep, I've been to Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee gravesite in WA state.. Was anyone convicted of Brandon Lee's death? I know he died on set. Adam the Woo should visit Bing Crosby's house, Microsoft Bill Gates headquarters, Amazon Jeff Bezos, Starbucks first coffee shop. The most famous companies started in Seattle.
I’ve been there. A wonderful view from there.
I saw Nirvana in October 1993 on the In Utero tour. It's hard to believe just a few months later what happened. Thank you for showing us these locations that many of us around the country and the world couldn't go to see in mourning almost 30 years ago.
I saw them December 1993, I had to take my sister to the show.
And do you think he was capable of suicide, or murdered?
Likewise in Philly 6 months before he passed. They were great live.
Adam, you deserve to win some type of award for putting together these great and highly thought out daily impromptu videos! Your content is excellent!!
Great vid Adam. They actually swap out the wood from the bench periodically. It has been documented that individual pieces have been put up for auction throughout the years. I just wanted people to know that the current wood is not the original wood from the bench in 94. One of the original benches was sadly destroyed in a fire that engulfed the Aberdeen Museum of history where it was being stored.
Thanks for all the info
@@TheDailyWoo ❤️
Adam always does super great videos so much heart and soul in it Is what Adam does
Destroyed in a mostly peaceful fiery protest from the summer of love? shame
@@TheDailyWoo My Youth Pastor drove us to Cobain, Love and Frances' Medrona/Broadmore West Seattle Mansion a few times in late 1997. It had become a Tourist Spot for Local Seattle Nirvana fans. The Greenhouse was STILL there then, but it was locked away and GUARDED by Security. Love allowed everyone to hang on the Bench outside, its where people gathered and played Nirvana music and gave out Kurt Cobain T-Shirts(Showing him as a Child with the 1967-1994 Epitaph). Courtney had the Greenhouse Demolished around 1999, because people kept BREAKING into it and occasionally, Junkies would have sex in it.
Nirvana, my most favorite band of all time. I wish I was born a few years earlier to see them at their peak. All we have today are Nirvana cover bands. Kurt’s legacy will never die and it’s such a shame he passed the way that he did.
It was a great time but the first year after his death was very grimm… wasn’t nice. It got better after ‘95 again. Go watch bands like Mudhoney, they STILL tour. 🤟🏼
@kildigdotcom4599Well that’s your opinion, but countless millions around the world just might disagree. The music of Nirvana sounds just as powerful and intense today as it did the day it was written and given that the big radio stations now only ever play bubblegum pop, I can’t see any reason for Kurt’s musical legacy to fade.
@@DWINC 1994 was ROUGH for Courtney Love, not only did Kurt take his own life leaving her and Frances behind, but Kristen Plaff OD' on Tar and Hole was JUST getting Started. The Tour must have been incredibly TOUGH for her to do.
@@Tornado1994”took his own life”. 😂😂😂😂🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️. The evidence is overwhelming that says that is not true! 🤷🏻♂️
@@jamestheadvisor1650 King County Coroner and Seattle Police Department Ruled Unanimously that Cobain died by Suicide. Case is Closed for a Reason. The Fingerprints found on the 20 Gauge matched Kurt, It was Also Registered to Him, Credit Card Records showed Cobain's Signature on Receipts and the Handwriting ALSO matched him. His Pager was also found where Love had multiple times attempted to reach him from Rehab with an L.A. Area Code of 213.
Why don't you and Tom Grant March down to the King County,WA Coroner Office and DEMAND that they listen to your Conspiratorial nonsense?
Twenty-nine years ago next month, I was supposed to go to my first Nirvana concert, at the Ahoy Arena in Rotterdam. The same tour you got to see them on earlier, Adam. That last part of the European leg of the In Utero Tour was canceled however, after Kurt overdosed in Rome and was taken back home. Less than two weeks later that tragic day happened in Seattle… Thanks for sharing your experiences with us, great vlog!
Kurt overdose in Italy, then went back home and never did a concert again.
Kurt last concert of his life was in Munich, Germany.
@@hectorlopez1069Yup. It was March 1st. 1994. I was fortunate enough to see them in Ljubljana, Slovenia Feb. 27th, 1994. I remember Kurt wearing a blue shirt. Never thought that he’d be gone so soon after that.
You mean his wife had him killed.
I remember the day he died like it was yesterday. Driving home and the radio was playing song after song by Nirvana back to back. I remember thinking, "I wonder if there's going to be a concert announcement.." In Bloom ended and the DJ came on, "Once again if you're just joining us, Kurt Cobain lead singer for Nirvana...." Crushed.
Yes me too, i was 17 last school year. I remember TV and radios saying 2 to 3 days before, he left L.A and can't be found.....A Friend of mine said as a joke, he is with pills and champagne somewhere ( thinking about Rome incident covered by medias).....the truth was worst. So sad.
I was about 5 years old when I remember the radio playing every song back to back. During come as you are and lithium my dad mentioned he just died then the announcer came on. My dad used to sing come as you are and lithium in the car with us even though he wasn’t the biggest fan.
You, Jordan and Scott on Tape have done a great job covering Kurt Cobain.
I was living in Olympia the day the news broke of his death. Years prior I was a pizza delivery dude and delivered a pizza to the Capital Theater to some dude tipped me with a joint. I didn’t know until later that day when someone asked me “How was he?” that that guy was Kurt Cobain.
What was going on at the cap that day? Born n oly and always digging. First saw them at the surf club.
I just went there today. The roads are small, very curvy and sharp turns, but lots of nice willow trees and you can walk down to the lake. You can see the top of the house but that's about it. Can't say I blame the new owners. I went to the benches. There's lots of tributes, beer cans, notes and garbage on them. The second bench says 'Layne Staley's Bench", which I really liked. Layne died eight years after Kurt did. The neighborhood seems to be very peaceful and quiet. I only stayed for about ten minutes though.
Adam has lived my dream life!! Even though my mom’s youngest sister and I are estranged, I gotta thank her for introducing me to some really great music at a very young age. Watching Nirvana’s music videos on mtv (back when mtv was good) is definitely a core memory for me. Rip kurt. You’ll never be forgotten. Your legacy lives on in your music and in the people whose lives you touched
i was a very late bloomer, Kurts' age, lived through it and was a Nirvana fan from eary 91 on. I made the Texas triangle all 3 shows, and I'll never forget telling my friend who drove it, that if they keep up that pace they will be dead inside a year, and I was wrong it was just over a year. Still can't believe he's gone, I only have memories of him here, very much alive. I've got my memories, photos etc. I got sober Friday April 8th that early morning and am grateful for that for many reasons
That guy who refused to take money for a tip is a man of character and principles, it's a real shame that folks like that are rare in this world. Respect bro whoever you are I dig your vibe mate, you made a stranger smile today. Much love. God bless. Thanks for reading my msg 👍🏼
Thx for This Adam. I have been to the bench in 2000. also, Aberdeen and Hoquiam early years under the bridge before it has become Kurt’s Park, his 1210 home and the rehearsal space above Krist’s mom’s salon. Hope you get to do some of these. Keep up the kool videos!
Not a fan of nirvana, but as an artist, I can appreciate what Kurt and the guys did. Gone too soon for sure. It's amazing to think what more great stuff people like him and Elvis etc would've done if they were around longer.
Thanks for the video, Adam. Last fall, I took my Mom to Kurt's childhood home in Aberdeen and the memorial (with it just a couple hours from where I live), and it was really eye-opening for both of us to contextualize where his music's sound was inspired by. The neighborhood had cracks in the street and the sky was gray, but the house's new owners renovated the front porch, took out the shrubs and the Daily World mailbox, and repainted the house itself. They even placed a polite "do not disturb" sign posted out front near the front door. Using Columbo-like research skills, I was able to show my Mom where Kurt's room was, where he stood on the front porch with his sister in that one famous photo, and even where the shrubs were originally located. We met people from all over the country at the memorial and even chatted with a group all the way from Louisianna on a pilgrimage. It was so quiet there, you can hear a pin drop next to the Wishka River Bridge where "Something In The Way" was inspired by. It was a really surreal experience for sure.
My fiance & I took the same trip in 2021 and made a video for TH-cam! Thanks for this video because I got to see the rock we wedged in between the wood of Kurt's bench was still there very tightly. ❤️ RIP Kurt Cobain
My family has had a sporting goods shop since 1993. I was twelve when Kurt passed. I signed the wall in the skate sharpening room the say he passed. It's still there. Nirvana changed my life.
Your enthusiasm is so infectious! I don’t know much about Nirvana at all, but I really enjoyed seeing this.
So sad when someone thinks there is no other option! Thanks for a vlog so full of information, Adam! 😀
The inside the hotel must have been very interesting just watching it made me feel Kurt's vibe and glad you got inside to document it. This was such a good watch Woo, hope to see ya in Oregon..✌️😎
Heck yea we heed to get together . Hit me up on IG
@@TheDailyWoo ya know it! Left ya my phone number too buddy
I love your interesting travel adventures!
I'm not a Nirvana fan, but this was really fascinating. Here's a tip for a possible future trip! If you go to see his home in Aberdeen, not far from there (just down the river and around the corner) is the Grey's Harbor Historical Seaport, which is the homeport of the Lady Washington, the boat/ship that portrayed the HMS Interceptor in POTC#1. Also was in Star Trek: Generations, Once Upon A Time, and Revolution. She does public sailings, with are fantastic. I got to live onboard her years ago, doing their 'Two Weeks Before the Mast' training program. Amazing experience! 🥰
Just saw her the other DAY!... but I'm all over the place these days lol.
I don't get people who say "they don't like this band or that band". I understand if you hate their entire genre of music, but most bands have at least some redeeming songs.
Aberdeen IS a grim town.
@@jebstuart4004 What's wrong with it? The crime and homeless mess that's all over? Glad the rest of the country isn't like that.
This is tragic. That suicide note is just so sad. Thank you for sharing this with us, Adam. Poor Frances Bean...😪
She never knew him and or remember. She says that he is like a distant relative. She never suffered at all.
I just wished Kurt coulda KICKED his Heroin addiction. Love only did it because Seattle Child Services and L.A. CPS were going to take Frances away from them. She GOT herself Sober so they could keep their Infant Daughter.
Kurt was murdered #justiceforKurtCobain
Kurt will never be forgotten. He will live forever through his amazing music.🙏
I visited Kurt’s bench in 2012 and carved something on it. I kept pausing the video to see if I could find it! The bench has way more on it now than it did then. Love this video.
Great video Adam . Wow it's been 29 years. Time flies.
Ah 8 days too late, yer in my neck of the woods. One of the music stores Kurt visited was down here in the Olympia area. The original location doesn't exist anymore and now is a McDonalds, Music 6000 (6000 Pacific Ave SE) has since relocated twice but still sports a signed by Kurt and framed receipt on the wall at it's current location. I remember at the original location, going into the front doors and down to the right a flight of stairs to the basement of the music store (originally was a church building) and tinkered with the keyboard synthesizers and audio gear. Heck, I could have passed Kurt in the store and never knew it.
Thank You for this Adam. You handled this very difficult subject matter with great sensitivity.
HEY ATW... I REALLY ENJOYED TODAY'S ADVENTURE. The awesome content aside, bringing your brother-in-law and sister along because he loves Nirvana really says a lot.
RIP Kurt 🙏🌹 he was so talented and ahead of his time. Thanks for showing us this, Adam!
I guess those aren't the original benches, but it's really cool they installed more and let people pay tribute. Great video sir!
Great video Adam and as always nice to see your family RIP Kurt
I was in my 40's in the 90's and I like metal , but I did respect the new music made by Nirvana. I was shocked when I heard of his death . I was later surprised that Dave Grol was their drummer . I will never forget when the other guitar threw up his guitar and it hit his head knocking him out and no one noticed ! Gail D.
I was surprised he could swallow a whole guitar!
Been watching you for 10+ years. Never knew you were a Nirvana fan, AWESOME!
So interesting. Thanks so much for documenting this. I was a grungie, and Kurt's death shook us all to the core. The voice of my generation, suddenly gone. I'll definitely add the memorial to my plans when I get to Seattle. Thanks for all you do.
I Lived there for 3 Years. The Nirvana fans up there are TRUE Nirvana fans. They're humble and will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about Kurt Cobain's Bio and his Life Story and NONE of them believe that "Soaked in Bleach" Garbage. They all universally agree that Cobain killed himself and was a Paranoid, Confused, Suicidal Junkie.
This is awesome! I don't have many plans but one is to do the Nirvana Seattle tour.
Adam, after I moved to Gatlinburg TN, the NEXT day the news broke about Kurt ...I'll never forget that 😭🏞️🌄
One of my greatest regrets Adam!!!!! Not seeing nirvana live! And we live in Portland, they came here quite a few times. Dang!
I'm in Salem. Hello neighbor. Fun to see Adam in our sorta neck of the woods.
Sorry Adam, that’s the Bellevue skyline. I’m assuming you were at the Madison Park location. That view is looking over lake Washington into Bellevue.
I understand incesticide was a compilation of b sides, Sliver was a 1990 recording but the video was done in 1993 apparently, at the house where you filmed.
Loved: "Sometimes a bench is all someone needs" ...feels
i have been reading some articles that Kurt really did not know how to take all the fame and fortune, and had to become introverted to it all to get away, he ended up at places like a motel room, sitting in the closet, feeling a lot safer away from the pressures, and we all continued to listen to his music, finding out about the Rome overdose, losing track of him for a few weeks, then later on the Mtv report of his suicide...WOW it really shocked me, what had happened, then reports of him being killed off by Courtney, taking pills and writing his famous note, blowing his head off, a gruesome detail..it's no wonder we all were saddened by his sudden passing as we were, it happened so fast, we had to stop and take it all in, one moment your here the next your gone..............R.I.P....TAKE YOUR TIME HURRY UP, DON'T BE LATE AS I WANT YOU TO BE AS A FRIEND.
Could you imagine one day you can go anywhere you like and not worry. And next day being mobbed by people. He wanted his band to be known. But nobody knew they were going to blow up.
Yeah, it's ashame💔😿
I just don’t think you can make yourself be introverted or extroverted. That seems very hard to change
Addiction has a tendency to do that to people, even those who are not famous. Most alcoholics stay In a room for days drinking themselves to death while totally depressed, it's a mental illness.
@@martymartin2894 my best friends daughter just overdosed and passed away this week. She was a the kindest and prettiest girl. She was 24. We got some rough days ahead of us
They really enjoyed your video. Your details are amazing. I see many videos of the same places that you have covered today but your details were really good. I am die hard nirvana and I miss Kurt so much so I appreciate what you’ve shown us today. Anybody that is a good diehard nirvana fan should watch your stuff. It was great thanks.
Been a Kurt fanatic since I was 7 when he died. Changed my life, honestly don't know if I could say it had a good impact on me, he did but his death, honestly destroyed my insides. My mother left me about a year before he died. When she left Kurt/nirvana is what I had. Then shortly he was gone too and even as a kid, it killed me. I'm 38, I'm still dead inside and I'm sorry to my kids and my wife. I'll never forgive myself
@cbl4012 I am so sorry for you. You are psychologically injured from complicated grief. You suffered two major losses in a short period of time and have never healed from it. I would say to try to find help for your unresolved grief. I can't say it will work, as it didn't with mine.
But you have a wife and a child. After my last death, my 26 yr son's S, I broke. But by then I'd already had my dad (i was 13), mom, brother and furbaby die (all w/i 6 mths time), so...... I was left completely alone. The pain is too huge and I can't get past it all.
I understand feeling dead inside, Sometimes our hearts close down when someone we love is lost forever. It is our protection, our way of saying, "My heart will NOT be broken like this again, as I will never allow my heart to explode with love like this for anyone ever again. This way I can't be hurt again, as it feels unsurvivable.
Maybe if you allow your wife and kids to love you and warm up your heart, it will thaw. Good luck. If you don't see this, I hope someone else will benefit. 💓
From 11-14 years old Nirvana was the soundtrack of my life. Living through that era of 91-94 was incredible for music. We were so excited for each new grunge/ rock release.
The irony is endless to me, how so many people travel to Aberdeen and they exploit him to make money, while Kurt absolutely hated it and wanted nothing more than to leave. He was my inspiration to pick up a guitar as a kid, literally learned just by ear and watching his hands. Also a role model after my parents divorced. I wonder if Kurt ever truly felt at home again after his parents split. I don't think I could handle actually being in these places, it might be too overwhelming. That being said, I believe the first house you showed is where we get the footage of Kurt on the balcony from a movie I won't mention, it never added up with the Lake Washington house. I also don't think he was at the Cactus, although the dessert first thing is common for heroin addicts. He was known to have been at the park with Francis according to a neighbor and seemed very happy. The last credible sighting was in fact at Linda's Tavern by Charles Peterson who Kurt gave his new number to...and I appreciate your terminology of Kurt's passing. None of us were there, and I'm no gatekeeper but dead men can't pull triggers. Thanks for this
Kurt wasn't dead when he pulled the trigger. its why there was a pool of blood around his ear
Something in the way?
“Congratulations you have won
a years subscription of bad puns”
This video is well done. You come across as a genuine fan and not someone just trying to get views.
I have been waiting for you to do this video, Adam. I have been to the bench and house, but never to the other locations. My heart aches for Frances Bean . Thank you for this touching video and showing how many people have been touched by his music and short life.🙌🙏💙
Thanks Adam this was very interesting, miss you Kurt! Unplugged is a masterclass in music
'Soaked in Bleach' is a great watch. Put's a lot of stuff in perspective. RIP Kurt.
TDW 1549 is the episode Adam referred to about seeing Nirvana in concert and his car breaking down. One of my favorite Daily Woo videos.
Good memory! Very impressed.
I’ll never forget that day
Best part was playing out the video to a whistling rendition of In Bloom.
Being from Washington state in America is like being from Wales if you're British. 80% of the time its grey, raining, windy, cold, or any combination of autumn winter vibes. Personally i love driving in the rain and love being able to drive around really hilly places and enjoy not having to trek in the cold and wet (I learned to appreciate the little things in life much more in recent times and I'm really glad I did). Thanks for making this video so I could kind of feel like I've been there with you lol. Happy travels to all 🙏🏼
God bless you mate. Subscribed 👍🏼
That's rad they let you in the room. And I've mentioned it before in the past, but I still think it's cool that we were at the same Nirvana concert at the Lakeland civic center 30 years ago. Man time flies. I liked the breeders. I lost my shoe in the mosh pit according to my friend haha. I don't remember it. I still have my ticket stub.
That’s great you still have your ticket stub . I had mine for years but now have no clue where it is
Awesome! Yeah still have my ticket stub and my concert shirt from that very concert! Man where does the time go!??
@@secretsauce1073 Cool! I should have bought a shirt that night. Time flies for sure.
@@TheDailyWoo Adam, have you seen this documentary about the inconsistencies surrounding Kurt Cobain's death? Did you know that just days before he asked that Courtney be taken out of his will?
th-cam.com/video/VXrZp9bNS2s/w-d-xo.html
Really enjoyed this one Adam. Thanks for putting it together. I still remember where I was when I heard the news like it was yesterday 😢
Oh Adam, thanks for making this. I left San Francisco at 18, to move to the Seattle area in 1993. I was there for 28years, and now I am in Texas with my husband and kids. This video brings me back to the place where my life truly began. Thank you!
As somebody who is the same age as you, we know where we were when we heard Nirvana and how it changed us and our views of music. Nevermind was an album that changed the scene. Great vlog ATW as usual! Have a great rest of the week and hopefully you are traveling safe and having fun! We can't wait to see you again on the road someday if you are down......shall you?
I love this video! Thank you so much for doing it.
Nirvana is before my time, but these places you showed and in particular the signed fences and benches by Kurt Cobain's house are something I'd like to see next time I visit Seattle
Awesome video! Thanks Adam! I am local to Seattle WA so this was super fun to watch! Having you in my neck of the woods!!! YAY!!!
FYI, when you were at Kurts house the tall buildings across from the lake was Bellevue, not downtown Seattle. Great video though, a couple of these spots i was unaware of.
Kurt never wanted to be anyone's hero. He didn't want anyone to look up to him or worship him. He just wanted to play music with his friends. Unfortunately that's exactly what ended up happening. Kurt was a troubled genius who could not enjoy fame or the loss of privacy. He attempted to end his life multiple times to escape it. Some people idolize Kurt and cannot accept that. The hero rebel musician that they created in their own head would never end his own life that way. As a result those people will embrace any conspiracy theory. Kurt was a real person who suffered and made his choice. Nobody murdered him. Nobody needed to.
I would put my money on Courtney Love had him killed because she is nuts!!
Did he tell you that or did you just make fanfic of a guy that you had no relation to?
@Live Fast Die Quick I find it amusing how people like you always have something to say about other people's opinions like your the internet police. So my hats off to you captain keyboard warrior. You can move out of your moms basement anytime now so that poor woman can enjoy life without having to make you hot pockets.
@@michaelamburgey3043 are you also writing fanfic on who I am as a person?
kurt wasn’t a troubled genius. he was a normal guy who was thrown into the mainstream media. he also wasn’t a genius, he was talented, as well as he was strategic. his calculated comments and releases put him into the mainstream, but he was by no means a genius. he was troubled, but he was a normal human being with thoughts and emotions.
At the MOPOP Museum there is a theater that plays nirvana on mtv but the sound is incredible. Like you are there. I love Seattle
Very cool episode with a very Seattlesque atmosphere & weather. I’m a Pearl Jam and Soundgarden fan but also love Nirvana and Alice in Chains. I’ve never been to Seattle but I can feel why their music had that vibe. Thanks for your great work Adam.
I was at the hotel room about a year ago. I thought the owner was a real nice guy, he just handed me the guy at let me explore as long as I wanted. He told me when he bought the place there were signed paper records from the guests in the office, but he searched and didn't find anything from Kurt (said if there was anything, the previous owner probably took it). He also said there were some other motels on the same road where Kurt stayed but they have been demolished.
He always used fake names when checking in motels. The guy might have the record, just under a different name and not know it.
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine

Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine

I hold Kurt Cobains memorial every year theres only 2 of us. At his Seattle home I spend over allday there. I bought and still have the paper from a child the day he passed🙏Nirvana for life👍His heroin dealer lived right down the street RIP Kurt from the motel.We hangout in his bar also us huge Nirvana fans meet up. The day he died I was a kid my dad had the Beatles I had Nirvana that day the story broke on mtv I was in a daze. I went to a Nirvana tribute show it was Awesome I was in the front the drummer cameover and we rocked it felt like the 90s🤘I go to his house and just listen to Nirvana on a nice day we sit on his bench w a bluetooth. I read everyones message left every year I cry . 😪They say it always rains it doesnt. My sister in Aberdeen was little in the 90s my family knew Kurt she was little and she jumped in his arms at a day house party bbq he was so nice🤘Cactus next to his house I always have lunch its nice🤘Now Cactus is a chain he only had dessert and they gave me his dessert for free🙏Dont climb the gates the garage was torndown a new carport is built if u walk up the stairs and look down the shot from Seattle times theres a homeless guy who lives under that tree near the house. Ive spent over 50hrs there its a beautiful spot👍The carport is where he died on the left from the back. Thanks Adam I know how much u love old grunge.
Kurt's Dealer lived in KENT. A Good 25 minutes away from Cobain and Love's Medrona/Broadmore West Seattle Neighorhood.
Make sure you see the Nirvana exhibit at the MoPop building next to the space needle! They have artifacts from the band. Awesome video Adam!
about the Lane Staley thing: my mom said she used to work with Mike Starr's mother in the early to mid 90's (bassist of Alice in Chains) Another one that died young. :\
Mia Zapata of the Gits had a HUGE Crush on Lane Staley. She was CRAZY about him. R.I.P. to the both of them.
thanks for the video Adam. i always wanted to know where my 9th cousin Kurt Cobain lived in Seattle .i lived in Vancouver wa for 5 years and always wanted to visit the places where he lived . thanks for the awesome video
some of your finest documentation
Kurt died too young at 27. He unfortunately joined the 27 year club that includes Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and Janice Joplin. They all died way too young.
Adam you really do some really informative videos! You're simply the best at what you do, thank you!!
Especially when he states that grunge paved the way for punk rock
One little correction for you. The city across Lake Washington that you identified as Seattle is actually Bellevue, on the East side of the lake.
Excellent work. This is one of your best pieces. Great great great job Adam
Wow. My brother and I did a road trip to Seattle. circa 1994, because we are huge Pearl Jam fans. We also were visiting filming locations for the movie Singles. Crazy, I know. Anyways, when you went to the Marco Polo Motel, it totally kicked me face, as that was the Motel we stayed at when we visited Seattle. Up until this moment, it was just another motel. I dug up a picture of me in front of the motel and sure enough, it's the same motel.
Then u squint and see kurt high in background asking u for cig
Great to see you visiting new areas of the country that you haven’t covered much in the past.
Head over to Portland and check out the filming locations for the goonies!
Thanks for sharing this. I saw them in 1993 at the State Fairgrounds in Detroit. So glad I got to see them live.
Even tho Kirk's been dead 30 years. I'm surprised the bench hasn't been treated so it doesn't deteriorate any more. In 10 to 20 years time That bench might not be there any longer and that will be a right shame. from 🇬🇧👍👍 an old cockney gal
Nirvana was definitely the band that got me into playing music. I then moved from that into Slayer/Pantera/Metallica/Megadeth, but I always liked Nirvana right up there with them. The "In Utereo" chick on the album cover is on my tatt list.
I wish I could have seen Nirvana during their peak. I was 5 when Kurt died and didn't get into them until I was in middle school. You are so lucky to have went! I bet it was surreal. Great video as always!
Well said musicians sometimes never realise what a profound effect they have in people's lives, I'm a massive LP fan and miss Chester Bennington every day. Their music inspires us in ways some people don't understand
Thanks for sharing nice to see your sister and brother-in-law again
This is awsome! Thanks for showing this in detail
I stayed at the Marco Polo a couple of times before I moved up to Seattle from the Oregon coast. I never knew Kurt stayed there! I would order dessert before breakfast sometimes.🤷🏽♀️
You came to Washington? I wish I could’ve shaken a hand and made a friend. I lived in Aberdeen for a year. Experienced the street live there and Olympia as well. Tough streets. Glad I have a new life now.
❤Thank you for sharing! I stood there as well in 2017. I left a crochet piece that I made. It was red and black stripes…❤🖤❤ Rip Kurt
Great video ! The documentary that involved the private investigator is what finally turned me against almost all documentaries. 98% are biased and tell a one sided story.
I luv " Where did you sleep last night " song . I would listen hundreds times. I'm so sad , it makes me cry thinking bout him & his life... I can't live in Seattle, it's so depressing weather ... You will be missed & luv forever Kurt 💔
Interesting video. Good to see Faith and Ryan again. Your whole family is great.
Thank you Adam for doing this tour of Kurt! Use to live north of Seattle for 30 years on Whidbey Island. If you want to film a place film Deception Pass Bridge on Whidbey Island!
KC & CL moved around alot in the 2 years married 92-94
Correct. They were in L.A. until Early 1993, Moved to Carnation/Seattle in The Summer of 1993, and finally to Medrona/West Seattle in Early '94.
The fact that he ate dessert first is not that unusual. His heroin addiction had reached its peak and heroin addict tend to develop a sweet tooth as their addiction worsens.
Great video Adam, had goosebumps the whole way through.
For your question if kurt sat in the park by his house. There was a couple sitings of him sitting in the park looking Ill and wearing a heavy coat which I assume it was his brown corduroy coat that was with him the day he passed away. And those sitings were a couple day's before he passed away. From what I've read and heard. Great video on such a great and wonderful person. Thank you for sharing this great video/vlog and have a great day.
You forgot to mention that the last movie he ever saw was The Piano in 1993 in theaters. I wonder if that movie theater still exists.
