- Kurt loved John Lennon and expressed it several times in his journals. John was real and authentic, which is probably why Kurt idolized him so much.

I actually discovered the beatles through Kurt Cobain and I'm glad I did
that's great
Well done !
What how
@TheRecordScratch yeah but surely the dudes parents played the beatles growing up? Im only thirteen and grew up with the beatles and discovered nirvana way later
Yeah how do you not know the Beatles before nirvana
Listening to him talk about the evolution of the Beatles and how he can’t wait to see how Nirvana evolves is heartbreaking
Shoutout Courtney Love’s tweaker ass for killing such a gentle, complicated soul.
Such a shame Courtney had him killed
It truly is. Who knows where music would be as a whole if he had stayed alive until now. A big part of me thinks Kurt was one of the last true pioneers of great music that wouldn’t have stood to let all this crap flood the airwaves that we have today. He was such a gentle soul. Also Always a reminder to check on your friends and family even the ones that are seemingly doing fine. I lost one of my best friends this last fall. He was only 25 💔.
@@beezer12washingbeard6 there are still people trying new stuff. You could even say that radiohead came after them.
Truly.
That’s so hilarious that Kurt would resist doubling tracks and the producer would just be like, “John Lennon did it.” and Kurt would just be like “okay...” RIP LEGEND
Kurt: I am NOT double-tracking my vocals - it's inauthentic.
Butch Vigg: John Lennon always double-tracked vocals.
Kurt: OK, let's do it.
He did it a lot on the nevermind album 🤘
That’s what makes a great production. You don’t need to know everything, just to be smart enough to change when it’s worth
lol that's just so wholesome... he was a true fan
And the 60’s were a flower revival of the 20’s. Wild
“I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but, have the anonymity of Ringo Star.” - Kurt Cobain
I felt that.
Yeaaaah
@d Dude, punk, grunge and emo are all music genres, it's a form of art. The point is to express emotions between the musician and the person listening to it and to be as real and authentic as possible.
I guess what Kurt wanted to say here is that he wanted to be an artist and change the world just like Lennon did but at the same time not lose the artistic freedom because of the fame. He stated multiple times that he didn't deal well with the pressure put on him after Nirvana got famous. He was a musician, not a politic leader. He wanted to stay true to people more than anything else.
“I felt that” is that a thing now??
Me too. I chose bass
@@severetiredamage6754 nah it's underated ;)
The 60's were to the 90's what the 90s are to the 2020's. Still can't wrap my head around it
30 year difference on both too
This is true to me
There wasn't much of a difference culturaly thou, wheres difference in culture in last 30 yrs is massive
So true! I miss the 90's!
The 2020s are...what are the 2020s? Cardi B era?
Mom: go wash the dishes.
Me: i dont want to
Mom: John Lennon did it.
Me: I'd love to
But John married Yoko. So i'll never wash your dishes you witch!
@@JOSEPH-vs2gc Hmmm...Yoko or Courtney, who had less talent?
@@timogen1970 Dunno, but i figure they'd manipulate their Simp-y boyfriends to wash the dishes for them.

This reminds of that Conan driving school episode when Ice Cube told Kevin Hart to put on his seat belt because Tupac (the biggest thug Ice Cube knew) did so - Hart put on his seat belt, accordingly.
His Beatle influence is why he wrote such great melodies.

so that people didn’t know how much they loved them 💕
@@jayde-mariesimpson4555 When did dave say this? Thats interesting lol
They are a big influence on everyone's music.
I miss him. I mean, the music, the interviews. I obviously never met him but I really wish he was still making music. It would have been amazing to see them “progress”... glad we have what we got from him
💯
Kurt was getting more into acoustic writing. What could have been.
@@crenshaw22 their next record probably would sound like their unplugged album
Nirvana would probably have progressed into industrial music.

Think about this:
The evolution of The Beatles from “I want to hold your hand” to “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band” was literally 3 years.
I’m a huge Beatles fan and Nirvana fan.
That’s crazy, right
LSD
@@DustyNothing While Grateful Dead was a dope band, the Beatles was not worse than other bands around at the time. Their evolution was result of genuine interest in making something completely new.
3 years but how many acid trips? 🤠
@Monsieur Tarzan Interesting... always seemed more like 28 to me
The way he describes instantly becoming a rock and roll fan when hearing Black Sabbath is exactly how I felt when I first heard Nevermind.
Yes!
I still remember hearing Smells like Teen Spirit for the first time at my cousin's house. It was on MTV, which I wasn't allowed to watch at home. Life-changing moment, really.
I felt that in particular, hearing Sabbath for the first time was like finding a forbidden hidden gem, they were kept far from the mainstream back then, at least that's how it seemed. We didn't have the resources to hear music like today, but yeah, I was blown away too. Just like I was blown away the first time I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit, it was a fresh sound in a stale era, showing that 90's were going to be very different from the 80's.
exactly
John Lennon was incredible, but Paul was equally as incredible. Just in different ways, which is why together they were the greatest of all time as a songwriting duo
But in this case it's more a question of personality and attitude than musical talent. Like many, including myself, Cobain was a fan of Lennon's because of the way he spoke and acted. He was genuine, sincere, visceral. Paul was too diplomatic and alwas the "nice guy". That kind of bores you after a while.
@@KlausSgroi Paul is also the most successful songwriter in history.
@@arautus It's hard to argue against that, but it doesn't make any difference when it comes to getting people's affection. A person's admiration for a singer/composer/musician involves much more than fame or wealth.
@@KlausSgroi Kurt was far from alone with his admiration of John Lennon.
@@arautus Indeed.
To this day I still say Nirvana had the best UnPlugged set ever
I agree, although Pearl Jam's 'Black' and AIC's '"Down in a Hole" performances are incredible. Oasis' performance is good too
Alice In Chains... it’s an apples/orange argument
I still like the AiC one more but Nirvanas was up there among the best.
Alice and chains is the best unplugged for sure..
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
kurt really was such a gentle soul wasn’t he
Kurt was complicated, brilliant, and misunderstood.
N totally stoned in the interview lol
@@mikegrasty6225 ehh I think it was probably H
If he was in court, he would morph into Court Cobian.
@@jeannedarc7533 cringy
I just love how he talked about Ringo, usually talking about beatles means talking about John or Paul, people just ignore Ringo and George
Thomas The Tank Engine & My Sweet Lord :-/
No we don't 😝
George was the most Beatle of the Beatles
Who doesn’t like George Harrison?
Not really a lot of people talk about Ringo and George
People always love to argue when I speculate that The Beatles influenced almost every important band since the 1960s. I feel like without The Beatles, we may not have had some bands that modern audiences don't even link back to the fab four as an influence. They truly were the most important band in Rock history.
1000% true all started with the Beatles .
id agree but dial it back some years and say chuck berry
@@7kurisu Chuck Berry deserves credit for sure. He just about single handedly invented rock. He influenced the Beatles and Stones, but the Beatles influenced society. Tens of thousands immediately picked up the drums and guitar and created bands
@@theyrekrnations8990 agreed. same with the stones, they all started out playing blues and rock created by black people. rich white recording labels were better able to sell the beatles to white kids than chuck berry
That's not exactly a controversial opinion.
I know John Lennon would have loved Kurt Cobain, you can see the respect he has for him as an artist
John Lennon was friends with some really cool bands at the time, he was like pen palls with some bands like B52's! They wrote to each other about how they inspired each other and there is some story about how Yoko inspired "Rock Lobster" which was a big hit for B52s, and the album then in turn inspired John Lennon's album. And they became friends. Sad to think all the friendships he would have had in his older years.
It makes me sad to think they could both still be alive today.
Probably not.... Kurt didn't like Paul, and even Though John and Paul argued they were brothers, and he wouldn't have liked Kurt talking shit about like that...
@@exerciserelax8719 it hurt me to read that
Kurt Cobain and John Lennon: Two musical geniuses who weren't afraid to express what they felt. The genius was that they could express these emotions in simple terms, yet make it melodic and interesting, without having the need to over complicate it.
They both could turn raw emotions into music that relayed those feelings to us.
Yes. Good definition of genius: A mega talent both to see the world in unique meaningful ways AND to express it in ways that bring everyone else along into your unique vision. With Lennon and Cobain-musical (writing and performance) genius to express secular humanistic vision.
It's interesting that they are both said to be INFPs (one of the MBTI personality types) Individualistic, creative, value authenticity, very in tune with their own feelings and values, interested in understanding the human condition.
Lennon really wasn't a genius. Each of the 4 beatles were nothing without the other 3. If there was a genius in that band, it was George Martin
@@sunkintree George Martin was a genius when it came to writing orchestral scores... and that's about it. Most of the technical innovation was worked out by the engineers. So the Beatles had big ideas, the engineers broke into, and rewired the mixing consoles, and George Martin sat back and said "OK yes... that sounds quite nice".
I love listening to Kurt. Singing or talking, his voice is so calm and smooth :)
I know right, his voice has something special to it that just makes you want to listen to him for hours
3:04 “if an alien eats people, that’s too bad.” -Curt Kobain
😂
“Curt” kekw
Kurtd Kobain
What is he referring to?
I thought he said “if it alienates people, that’s too bad”
'The Beatles and Punk Rock'...that feels like the definition of Grunge
Without Led Zeppelin = no grunge.
definition of nirvana* other grunge bands weren’t melody driven
@@lyndoncmp5751 I hear far more of a Led Zeppelin influence with Stone Temple Pilots (along with The Doors and The Beatles) than Nirvana. Nirvana is more like mixing The Beatles with The Pixies.
@@Logan912
There's more Zeppelin in Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, STP etc than Beatles though.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Oh, there’s definitely a lot of The Beatles influence in Stone Temple Pilots at least. It’s obvious starting with their Purple album.
It always comes back to the Beatles.
Excellent thumbnail. I wish John couldve heard Kurt's music. And i wish Kurt was alive and continued his music or art or whatever he wanted to do. I do believe Kurt was the biggest loss in music history
It’s sad that he didn’t live to see his band members collaborate with Paul McCartney (and maybe Ringo, too?)
I think Lennon would have enjoyed the Seattle scene. He liked a lot of the British and New York punk scene, B-52's, Cheap Trick, etc. And I can see him wanting to collaborate with Kurt.
Not even close. Biggest loss in music history is John Lennon.
Marley. his message and music really united people around peace and loving values. he would play in huge stadium 1 year before he died
@@BeatlesCentricUniverse definitely a big loss but john was 40. I wouldve loved for kurt to have lived til 40, we didnt see his full potential dying at 27. We missed out on a lot of kurt's music
You see a ton of hope and vision for the future when Kurt talked about the Beatles. The way his eyes light up, you can tell how near & dear they are to him. It’s a shame we all didn’t get to see Kurt’s ultimate vision for Nirvana, his love for music will continue on through all those he influenced.
Nirvana is the Beatles of my generation. I still love their music and I always will.
Kurt sincerely sounds like a genuinely down to earth person.
Like you could just walk up to him and casually start a conversation and he’d simply stop and honor your time by talking with you
I'm thinking Aunt Mary needs more credit for Kurt's career
“Mother Mary sings to me. Speaking words of wisdom.”
Paul’s mum?
“Hey shut up!”
-Something a Beatle would say
First hearing Nirvana I was enthralled by their sense of Melody. I knew that Kurt must have been influenced by The Beatles; the Masters of Melody
Such a humble, sensitive and smart guy. He's sorely missed.
People are intense! They show us what they are - mirrors, scales, clocks: Could you discuss some of this?
My guitar teach taught Kurt how to play is name is Warren Mason he lived in Aberdeen Washington in the 70’s. He told me kurts first song he wanted to learn was stairway to heaven Hahahaha and not that much later after he stepped up to Louie Louie. Warren died recently but his legacy lives on :)
RIP! I read about that in the biography.
Cool
I think I read that he taught Krist guitar as well.
You will definitely‘get’ Nirvanas music ten fold if you ever find yourself (lost?) in Aberdeen, Washington on a rainy foggy January morning
@@Jack-2daynice!
Gentle John. Loved by so many. Aaww Kurt☮️💟
I love the Beatles they were my first musical loves too. What I love about them is that they have so many good albums. Abby road, Sargent pepper, magical mystery tour, rubber soul, but my favourite is the white album.. you can listen to them from start to finish without having to skip any songs because they are all good. They were such creative geniuses and with so many layers to their sound. I don't think I would describe them as 60's pop though I think they were so much more than that even if the early stuff was a bit boppy
You are so right
The early stuff is fantastic and as Lennon said the lyrics were sort of throw away . But if a person listens to the beat music the melodies and phrasings and the harmonies and so on, the stuff is blow away . Just imagine the lyrics as filler
"The Beatles are the only thing that ever mattered" ~ John Phillips (the Mamas & Papas ) 1970
Pure gold
I stood in this man's driveway in Seattle and the bench next to it in the park he used to write. One of the most spiritual moments of my life. He is so greatly missed.
He had a magic about him. His mom referred to Kurt Cobain as an "angel" during Nirvana's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. She would know. Yes, he could probably be a real asshole at times, after all, he was human. That aside, Kurt was a phenomenal and gorgeous entity.
I think his asshole tendencies only came out cuz he was so overwhelmed by Nirvanas fame.
Lol yeah, she kicked that angel out of her house when he was just 15
Yeah she didn't want that Angel around when he was a teenager.
@Sam Myers That’s really not true
Any haters watch montage of heck and EDUCATE YOURSELVES
It's so freaking cool hearing Kurt talk about the Beatles then years down the line Paul McCartney reunites Nirvana together with him during the Concert For Sandy Relief at Madison Square Garden!
Paul definitely kept Kurt's legacy alive!
"Beatles and Punk rock. That was about it" yep!
Discovering The Beatles is my biggest achievement.
"John Lennon did it" Kurt "ok" priceless!
The Beatles "She Said She Said" and "Rain" are basically proto-grunge.
I’ve always thought ‘I’m so tired’ reminded me of grunge too
She Said sounds directly like written for Nirvana:-).
The alternative rock beatles period was during 1965-66 rubber soul and revolver era
Can’t believe y’all didn’t mention helter skelter
Let me roll it….Paul McCartney and Wings….also proto grunge
I can always hear The Beatles in his music.
He’s very well spoken and smart, as were most of the artists around this time. Can’t be said for most popular artists today
Somethings in the water.. and air

@@reefk8876 I'm sure people said the same in the 90s it's just a change in the time and we'll maybe something in the water and air lol its social media it's the way younger people interact and what they identity with or enjoy for entertainment it always changes it's creative enough to entertain even if you and myself included don't enjoy it lol it's a different "art" music isn't specific to anything by definition...but it is a shame the idiocracy of it in a big way
@@devinappleton4906 that sounds about right. Good insight dude!
@@reefk8876 I try not to criticize as much there are tons of things I find extremely and beautifully artistic and creative that I'm sure others wouldn't, but I definitely understand the point of the art today and the audience lacking some depth lol but not much we can do just do you homie lol
This is one of my favourite videos. I love hearing great artists talk about how they were inspired by great artists.
Imagine where Kurt could’ve taken Nirvana if he’d remained alive. Their revolution would’ve been Beatles-esque.
My grandpa introduced me to the Beatles, I’ve heard of them before but I’d never really listened to them before so my grandpa did send me songs from them and I liked it, later on one day I went scuba diving and listening to there songs on CZcams and I slowly started liking them, now I’m a Beatles fan! And ofc I thank my grandpa for introducing me to them😊❤
' He didn't like to do double track, so, I had to use John Lennon references every time I said "John Lennon did it" he goes "Okay" '
I miss these videos and love these videos this made my morning
“If it alienates people, that’s too bad” Such a great attitude to have. Too many bands pander to their fans
“Kurt Cobain has been my idol all of my life” - John Lennon
😂
But in reality Tom Petty has said on camera that he thinks Nirvana was the greatest band since the Beatles because in his opinion Cobain single handedly assassinated the glam rock that so many rock musicians despised because it was vapid and shallow capitalistic trash.
all me life* lol
I appreciate you for putting the album picture up there bro
I keep saying I think they could've had a musical development similar to the Beatles, Kurt's songwriting style ironically turning out more like McCartney's, by which I mean him doing all kinds of musical styles just "for fun", since he expressed being fed up with what Nirvana had been doing up to that point in his last interviews, whild Dave would've contributed the, well, frankly not overhelmingly mind-blowing (not compared to Nirvana, anyway), but still really good, solid rock songs he's been doing for Foo Fighters and that contrast would've kept the albums interesting just like it did for the Beatles. Ah, well...
You can hear The Beatles in their music.
Crazy to think that 2021 was the first year, for both John Lennon and Kurt Cobain, that they had been dead longer than they were alive.
You can hear john lennon in his vocals and writing.
“If it alienates people, that’s too bad.”
Thank you for making this
Great interview, thank you for posting it
I'd recommend John Lennon's albums like John Lennon Plastic Ono Band (1970) and Imagine (1971 album), even the Western/Folk stuff is great on those - "Crippled inside" sounds like something along those lines Kurt would have covered. Most people know the song "Imagine," but there are (IMO) WAY better stuff on those two albums. Give songs like "Mother," "Jealous Guy," "I don't Wanna Be a Soldier." If you like punky stuff: "Give Me Some Truth." It kind of shocked me to hear Lennon drop prominent F-bombs in "Working Class Hero." "I Found Out" and "Well Well Well" are choppy/abrasive psychedelic goodness. Speaking of "Mother" - if you ever played the game Earthbound, it's called "Mother" in Japan, named after the song.
Yes, yes and yes.I’d add Why by Yoko Ono with the Plastic Ono Band, John, Ringo and Klaus Voormann.
These are wonderful songs you mention.
How better to describe the Nirvana sound to any novice than saying they're a cross of Beatles and punk.
There are a lot of bands with those same influences like Eric’s Trip and Ween
Kurt’s voice is so soothing
If you as a musician like The Beatles you have a big chance to create great music yourself
That's like 90% of musicans then.

The Beatles were the greatest band of all time. The evolution and experimentation will never be matched in that era or today. Of course Kurt was influenced by them.
Everyone has their influences. And with enough passion, you can turn those influences to help mold your frame to paint the ever-changing portrait of what you want to put out into the world, artistically.
lovely post. thanks. I needed this today.
Without The Beatles no Nirvana.
He had a lovely smile and beautiful eyes.
I've been writing music since i was a kid and have learned much from the Beatles, Zeppelin, Police, Nirvana, Hendrix, Camilo Sesto, Jaguares, Bach, Stones, the Doors, Floyd, Tupac, Bob Marley, Alan Parsons, Steely Dan, and the list goes on. These guys have influenced everyone and will never be replaced. 12 original songs. Hope you enjoy, Charles Droulet
RIP Kurt. Never forgotten.
2:50 Kurt turns into Paul McCartney lol
Rock Geniuses like Kurt Cobain, Chris Cornel, the Gallagher bros. and Eddie Vedder to name a few were all musical sons of the Beatles.
Like Kurt the very first band I started getting into when I was a kid were The Beatles and they helped me get into music, not to mention they’re still one of my all-time favourite bands so it was definitely awesome hearing him talk about them
0:10 for anyone wondering, this is from the song River Euphrates by pixies, kim deal is the female singer of the band, who the lady in the video was referring to.
My man was just getting started.😢
È sempre molto piacevole ascoltare un'intervista a Kurt, e vederlo così bello e tranquillo, come fosse ancora tra noi. Riposa in pace Kurt, sei sempre nei nostri cuori!💕💕🧚♂️
Yeah, you should hear the Chipmunks’ version of Helter Skelter, it ROCKS!
So sweet, I love this, Ty for posting,
Shit! Chipmunks sing the Beatles was probably the main album that made me excited about music in general. Love to see someone else enjoyed it so much. ❤️
Beatles fan, good lad.
He turned like a kid when talking about the Beatles, he became a lil boy 🥺
I'm 67 years old and have the Chipmunks doing the Beatles hits, it's a great album.
You are a living legend Sir I am 25 I have it too and I just love it :)
One of the great tragedies is not getting to see what else Kurt had up his sleeve. He was so in his shell still on guard and hyper aware of appearing the “authentic” rockstar and being above the fray. I like to imagine a timeline where he kicks the hard stuff and finds the joy in music. Where the world could see him living truly authentically in the sense of him letting his guard down. He really was so funny and obviously his talent was pure. Just a damn shame he never got to an age where he could let it all shine. I think his best was still ahead of him.
Nevermind changed popular music so much and fast it's truly amazing.
You think he would have done better albums than Bleach/Nevermind/Incesticide/In-Utero/Unplugged in his 30s?
@@sabbracadabra8367 it’s all subjective in the end. I think some of Pearl Jam’s stuff from Yield or No code is some of their best stuff. Will it ever be as important or “game-changing” as Ten or Vs of course not but I think it can be argued that some of the music is deeper or more intricate and fully realized. Nevermind would always be their most remembered and important album but with some maturity Kurt or Nirvana may have produced something even more profound. But as I said it would all be subjective in the end really.
@@ballatore34 I think most bands start to get boring as they get older but there are exceptions. I think it's rare though. But I think Kurt would have been a big exception if he could have kicked his habit.
Same for Brad Nowell. He would’ve written a ton of stuff
Kurt has the same tenacity and charisma as I do for The Beatles. It’s a good feeling.
Nice one!! Good!! That was really informative on a couple of different levels. Cool!! Thanks :)
First album of nirvana i heard was muddy banks of wiskah and then 4 years later i started on the beatles. My 2 favourite bands
That Kim Deal thing is her part in River Euphrates. Great song that ironically is very Nirvana-like 3-4 years before Nirvana developed their most iconic sound.

Estas bien?
What is simply amazing is that if one adds all of Elvis' sales and all of Led Zeppelin's sales and all of the Eagles' sales together they don't equal the Beatles' sales (estimated to be 1 billion world wide). Simply astounding. And to think the Stones claim to be the greatest rock and roll band in the world. Sorry Mick - you and the boys don't measure up to John, Paul, George and Ringo.
You’ve got a point, but sales should never be used as a direct measurement of quality.
Led Zeppelin IV sold more than any Beatles album, as did their concert sales.
For Zeppelin to sell 300 million records despite hardly any singles and roughly 1/5th the number of records released, never performing on British or American tv and not being media darlings was astonishing. Zeppelin made it purely on albums and concerts.
Everything about this makes so much sense. Kurt wanting to be Ringo, his passion for drums and Dave filling in for that appreciation. Dave becoming a lead of his own thing. Beatles + Butch Vig wall of distortion/fuzz sound production is essentially Nirvana.
I just remember dressing almost the same except my shirts were black metal shirts long sleeves with a short sleeve rock shirt over top I did that all my teens 88 till around 95 I think that was the typical metal are punk kid in those years what memories
i learned all beatles songs since i was 9 and listened to nirvana seriously from around 23 all my life i always thought most kids hate The Beatles until i saw this video thank you so much i am 37 now and i going to show ed sheeran and styles what a real legend sounds like
