- Kurt Cobain Interview - Incl. Rare Footage // Subscribe: goo.gl/Q2kKrD // USE THE TIMESTAMPS IN THE DESCRIPTION BELOW TO JUMP TO SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. One of Kurt Cobain's final interviews before his tragic death, this WatchMojo Presents video From the MUCH Vaults is an incredible look into the man and artist that we present on the day that would have been his 50th birthday. This raw video from 1993 features 6 minutes of very rarely seen footage from the original interview that was not aired on television. Nirvana's legacy still burns bright and their music continues to influence and inspire people to this day. We hope that you enjoy this thoughtful and engaged interview with a man who meant so much to so many people.
00:07 1) What are your favourite books and have they influenced your songwriting?
1:50 2) Is it hard write new material in a short timeframe after having had your entire life to the write the material for your first two albums?
02:39 3) There are a lot of baby references in your songs: wombs, babies’ breath; is this a huge part of your life…?
04:19 4) Do you think the old saying that you can’t buy happiness is true?
05:08 5) Now that you’ve had so much success, so quickly and so surprisingly, as well as a baby, your marriage, etc., what excites you now?
05:49 6) How do you personally cope with having private relationships being scrutinized publicly?
09:04 7) Is it weird to suddenly have lawyers and people who do that stuff for you?

11:48 9) Have you ever had second thoughts about bringing a child into the world, despite being able to see the world for what it is?
13:38 10) “Grunge”: where did the term come from?
17:19 11) One of the interesting things about Nirvana that you don’t talk about much is that you seem very concerned about sexism. How do you make people aware of that problem?
21:21 12) We’re doing a special on The Replacements, did they have any influence n you on as a songwriter or any of the music you did?
23:58 13) Did you get to meet anyone that you would consider your musical hero?
24:40 14) Tell me about the record you’re doing with William Burroughs.
25:50 15) One of the members of Nirvana said he was perturbed by your mainstream audience and wanted to just make music for your real fans...?

This last five minutes of this interview has never been broadcast on television before!
this is great, didn't think you guys did much of this kind of stuff!!
Thank You so much
Thank you for uploading this WatchMojo :)
This interview was in Seattle
Is there a reason they wouldn't play the last 5 minutes?
he would've hated social media ..
He wouldnt have even bothered with it just like u shouldnt why even bring up idiot sjws the one he hated the most. Live and let live those idiots love causing issues kurt was chill and would hate them. All they do is bring race and sex into anything thats not Kurt he hated people. And for good reason
banana rama where's it's party time all the time wtf lol
Gabe Jones-Lang yea both these chicks suck.
He would have hated liberalism more than social media. He would have made a better democrat than the majority of them these days.
@@BananaRamaPartyTimeAllTheTime Depends on what you mean by sjw, but I think you would call him an sjw as well. He said he didn't want people who have anything against gays come to his concerts, for example and there is much more...
The interviewer was really good at her job here. She lets him talk all he wants and doesn’t interrupt him
That Genius Jason agreed. But to be fair, I don’t think anyone would interrupt Kurt if he was talking to them.
Because before journalist was smarter to let star talk. And now its make a beautiful souvenirs
I kinda love it, conventially yes they're terrible but it gives a window into his mind and thought process
Really she pushed him
Respect. This interview also happened in an age of conversation, not succubus media agenda.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.
- Kurt Cobain
Says the leftist Kurt
A damn shame that so many Nirvana fans don't understand this quote. You celebrity worshipping fools build up such a ridiculous mythos that, guess what? You love him for who he is not.
@elnatural822 N*gga don't nobody care about that sh*t, you're a minority lol
stop spam commenting for attention on such sensitive topics.
@@nickhartman6372YES
This is the closest you'll ever come to a conversation with Kurt. It's by far the best interview he ever gave. He actually seems quite content.
That was my thinking and I pictured us sitting at bar and non-intrusively picking his brain.
😢 This woman really got him to open up, by NOT asking mundane, cliched questions and just being herself and made him comfortable to be himself, lots of great insights, and it makes me sad to think of what trajectory 🎵 music is going and how NIRVANA, would have set the bar, of music high, instead of the crap that passes for music currently, I have listened to this over and over, when I miss Kurt, and what would have been😢😢😢
Also, dare I say, NIRVANA would have evolved very much like the Beatles, That's probably cocky, but I truly believe it, from grunge to probably reinventing New Wave, how exciting JUST to know that from him...CHANGING IT ALL UP AND KEEPING US ON OUR TOES, MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO GO AGAINST THE GRAIN, AND I FEEL AS IF MUSIC. HAS DIED COMPLETELY
Bro I swear me and u have the same taste in music your on all the videos I watch
@@Microphone211he copies top comments so he can get attention to his CZcams channel
At least he got a decent journalist for his last interview
I just hope Kurt took some pleasure in it, and didn't feel too uncomfortable. I listened to his music through my teenage years and he lifted me up to a level which has kept me going throughout life.
It’s weird he looks clean and happy here. Hard to imagine things went so bad again shortly after this
He’s last Interview was in 94 Portugal
who is she?
@@akabara1237 the chick who mispronounced Nirvana just like the In Bloom video lol what a dumb ass
This is Kurt's best interview. He was unusually relaxed, interested, and talkative. The journalist did a fantastic job bringing him out of his shell. 💗
In The Future by Yaki Clone is the weirdest song I've heard in a while
I don't need any gifts, I am whole
Remember things we did
That nobody knows
I don't need anyone to be nice
The last 3 words you say make me alright
Maybe it's because I'll see you in the future
Passed out on the couch, can take no more
I was such a mess, drunk and stoned
You haven't been told how much you saved me
If you want to make plans
I've got the whole life free
Maybe it's because I'll see you in the future
@@StationOutlook The lyrics in your other post about this same song are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. ...AND NOW I'M TYPING IN ALL CAPS TO A BOT. artificial unintelligence gets me again.
@@CariniReprise it's not the same song.. 2 different songs.. Dungeon.. and In the Future . Definitely not a bot
Im thinking It might have been because the interviewer was cute, he seems a bit flirty
Im thinking It might have been because the interviewer was cute, he seems a bit flirty
So relieved that during one of his last interviews he was treated with such kindness. She’s a real professional
I know it shouldn't really matter where it happened but in a morbid way it's nice that it happened here in the PNW-- where it started. Especially listening here talk about life death money and babies...
Right! A lot of the media was not kind to him or at least exploited him. I wish he was still around. R.I.P. Kurt
please delete your channel
Yes yes. Saying its good to find way to legally steal from him. That everyone thinks hes weird. Thats he might be a pedo. That he might go out of inspiration. All while being hidden behind little cute laughs. Horrible and seeing you saying what a nice person. No wonder hes dead.
@@propheon9789what a way to call yourself out. Whatever it was a great interview with such an understandment
It seems like the interviewer is genuinely interested in Kurt and wants to talk to him. I wish more interviews were like that these days.
Clinton Jones Erica Ehm was so dope. I miss her and old Much Music days.
Me too
Lol...now its modern interviews that people are sick of these days?!!
Realm23 X7 Yes, at least mainstream media interviews. People are on board with Podcast interviews because of the length and more conversational tone.
Dont worry he still alive hiding somewhere to avoid fame he wants to be an ordinary people maybe he’s tired of being fame
This camera man is so good. Capturing details, following natural head movements. So personal. Wonderful questions from the interviewer. What an intimate look at a beautiful person.
My mans zooming was out of control.
Exactly what I was thinking
I can't tell if you're serious or joking. I felt like this is some of the worst camera work I've ever seen.
"following natural head movements"
Back, and to the left
@@doomayamI think they’re commenting on the vibe the camera shooting offers. It draws you in and you can see minute expressions and ticks.
This doesn't even seem like an interview. It seems more like a conversation. I love it!!!
Rest In Peace Kurt.
❤❤❤
An interview that turned into a conversation for sure
WatchMojo, you've done something right for once.
Yutaro Watanabe yep
Sorry to sound so misinformed but what do they usually do?
Jake Maletesta they usually have this irritating intro, and their content is PC af.
Jake Maletesta They're the buzzfeed of "top tens"
安倍総理 Right. I clicked on the video as soon as I read the title. Then I saw who uploaded it and thought, "Crap, it's watchmojo..." I was expecting that annoying voice, shitty stock images, and a stupid count down. But I was pleasantly surprised.
I love the part where he says I've always been a nice guy.
So genuine
Except when he took advantage of a mentally handicapped girl sexually in high school.
over thirty years ago.... seems so unreal. He is there like somebody living nowadays. Kurt Cobain far ahead from his time, timeless. We keep you in our heart. Thank you for the music.
Hi
We keep you and your music in heart❤❤🇭🇷
beautiful distant days
Courtney killed him.
There is something so peaceful about watching this interview.
Mohammad Rahman agreed then they had to play an ad for “The Turning” movie 😆
Uncle 2020 not if you got Premium 😉
Mohammad Rahman Yes!
That’s totally true. I felt 100 percent the same.
It's the water in the background ✔️
He looks so polite and friendly, but the sadness in his eyes breaks my heart
Ikr 😔
You actually see sadness in his eyes?? Give me a break..there isn’t sadness in his eyes during this interview.
Marnie Bryks LMAOO
Aaliyah Anderson right?! I mean the guy looks like anyone else giving an interview, lol. If anything his eyes are more or less irritated by some of the questions. I swear, some people just say stuff just to say it and it is so annoying I can’t help myself but comment- if I hold it in I worry it will give me cancer.
@@mdbrf841 ok
A lot of people say Nirvana is overrated but he is one of the most humble and relatable rockstars we’ve seen in the music industry. Finally a switch from the 80s hair metal bands.
This is why Nirvana is still garnering new fans from younger generations.
@@neo-yd1kf He wasn't so sweet when he was leaving all those murder and rape threats on the answering machine of that journalist woman for months. But we'll just sweep that under the rug; wouldn't want to ruin the narrative.
He was a good and humble man who never did anything to anyone. Also, pay no mind to the fact that he chose a pile of cocaine and a shotgun to the face over his own infant daughter.
@@Chud_Bud cannot find anything on what you just claimed be true. This comment is sheltered and ignorant asf.
I'm not Nirvana fan nor do I know much about him. I actually stumbled upon this interview and I must say I was so intrigued by his humility and kindness. I can totally see why so many people loved him. It saddens me to know he's gone. May his spirit and music continue to live on
Funny how much I miss someone I didn't know
Yeah that's Kurt - he tends to do that.
Understand you’re not a fan, and hopefully you’re just a poor typer, but Nirvana is not a him, it’s a band. This is Kurt.
Get help@@user-cc3jc4pb4c
@@user-cc3jc4pb4che was obviously talking about Kurt, he just stated he wasnt a fan of the band.
The interviewer is actually really good. She asks non-generic questions that get him to dig and think. I'm sure he was sick of the generic questions.
I thought the same thing
She's insufferable. "You are sooo nice. You are so comfortable with yourself. Something must have happened to you in the last couple years." Are you kidding me? I want to slap her. What a stupid thing to say.
Erica Ehmm or M or em from much music
Idk she insults him several times and he's just like "???"
@@davidwong656 I don't see what she said as insults, but the ability to question him to his face about certain aspects of his personality. I don't know what Kurt's personality "profile" was or how much I even believe in all that shit, but I'm an INTJ and I'm guessing he's somewhere in that ballpark because he shared a lot of those traits where he didn't seem to take critique offensively, but rather, he would actually just consider things being said in critiques and wasn't dismissive of other viewpoints or concerns outside of his own. If someone says, "here is why you're wrong about this thing you did," he didn't get defensive but would instead question himself with the information provided, "was I actually wrong?"
This was the antithesis of the rock star persona he could've had where he could've constantly deemed his own worldview to be correct and anyone else questioning that is just some nerdy music journalist that doesn't understand shit or whatever defense rock stars generally have about being criticized.
You can tell he's just some average dude and he finds it odd that he's famous or how people place him on some sort of pedestal but he's learning to cope with that new life, "Oh, I guess I have a team of lawyers now." It's probably why he was welcoming in this interview, you could tell she was from the same underground scene he was comfortable in - her references were not generic mainstream, "so tell me about your experience with Madonna," bullshit. She just treated him like one of her underground music scene peers and he seems really comfortable with it - she treated him like an old friend that just happened to be "that famous Kurt Cobain guy," but didn't see the glitz and glamor of it, it didn't matter to her. If you've ever had friends become famous for something, you know how odd that is to see people worship them when you know they're just some fellow human.
I love the questions she was asking: money cant buy happiness then asking him about the books he reads, really nice stuff. today interviews are all shallow
sara cobain if money can't buy happiness then why is it so fabouless?
Money can't buy happiness, true. But chances are you'd be more miserable without money lol😆
money actually can buy happiness it cannot buy real love though. money isn't something everyone needs to live only the ones who can't imagine a life without money need money. i see many young ones going shopping & being happy with all these things they bought so to say money can't buy happiness is pure stupidity.
sara cobain eh not really perhaps only the interviews you watch are shallow but there are some pretty great ones he just obviously gives off the vibe that the whole celebrity worship me thing wasn't his so he's not interviewed as such . People approach you as however you come off
"today interviews" dude, this interview was in 1993.
When he said ‘I’ve always been nice’ with that expression, that broke my heart. I actually said aloud ‘awe sweetheart 🥺’ to comfort him.
Ur gay
He was such a beautiful person inside and out. For some reason I am deeply touched by this.
Same
Me too
Cobain was such a gentle soul. He really shows himself here, total vulnerability.
Nick Smyth TV and the way he took the Muzak review abt his music, he still kept on indulging them ....-“what a bugger.” That’s being truthful
He was so humble. Bless his soul
It's crazy how much my 1 former coworker reminds me of Kurt Cobain....I often wonder what would have become of Nirvana if Kurt was still alive..I was 6 when he died but I discovered Nirvana when I was about 8 or 9
This is the first time I've ever seen him interviewed. So genuine and open.
He's a bit of a gentle psychopath. Thats why we love him
She seems so nervous and he seems like he’s trying to be so polite to her it’s adorable
It’s Erica Ehm, she interviewed rockstars daily back then, I really doubt she was nervous. Probably charmed though.
Probably the other way round
Reg Rock not just any rock star though
@@regortex3364 She clearly went into it with an expectation of Kurt, which is why she says something mid interview to the point of, 'why are you being so nice?'
She asked several questions in a very tentative way. She clearly thought it was going to be difficult.
RuyLopezQB6 -well Kurt was known to be a prima donna smartass in most of his interviews, if you’ve watched any of them. He was being uncharacteristically nice in this one. It’s just an interview, I use to watch a lot of Much Music back then and have seen dozens if not hundreds of interviews she’s done, I was simply commenting on the fact that she was not nervous.
Its 2024 & still miss Kurt Cobain..loved Nirvana. Wish I could've seen this interview & not only seeing it now...such a good interview❤
It is still a nice surprise all these years later tho, I'm just glad to be seeing this! I just don't see how THIS guy, would do 'that'
I'm happy that Kurt Cobain existed.
What a kind, sensitive, beautiful soul he was. The interviewer was lovely too.
@Has Goodles Exactly. These celebrities always showed one side to the camera. The same with Jimi Hendrix: a sensitive and intelligent man on the camera, but when drunk, he was abusive to his girlfriend. I think some of the Beatles witnessed him hitting her head with a phone, which would have seen him fined or imprisoned were he not so famous. These celebrities have to learn to stop taking drugs.
@Has Goodles understandable considering the circumstance. He obviously suffered social anxiety not to mention she asked him stupid questions and tried to tell him about himself lol
Both wonderful
So sensitive and kind that he left his child without a father 🙄
He was a moody prick.
So devastating to learn that “Perfume” is Kurt’s favorite book and that he says he relates to it. For those who haven’t read it - Jean Baptist (the main character) is someone who feels no connection to other humans and is totally alienated from society. Scent is a metaphor for soul in the book… and Jean Baptist doesn’t have a scent - he wants to borrow from other people in order to create his own “scent” (aka: essence / soul / being) - he wants to finally fit in and belong. In the end he creates the perfect scent which is so beautiful and charismatic that everyone who smells it instantly falls in love with Jean. Jean realizes right away that he feels no fulfillment from this newfound love and adoration because it is totally fake - they don’t love him they love the perfume. Feeling hopeless and alone, he douses himself in an entire bottle of the hypnotic perfume and a crowd of people become so crazed with desire when they smell Jean that they rush towards him and devour him whole. Their (fake) love for him is what kills him in the end … and Jean is finally free from the loneliness and alienation that plagued him since his birth.
Damn…. If the perfume is “fame” then this is basically Kurt’s life story too. A true gentle genius gone too soon. 😢💔
Incredibly incisive comment. Thx!
Seems this book was depicting his life.
Good post
Thanks for this insightful comment. Everything resonates for one reason or another.
Thanks for explaining his favourite book and its such an insightful explanation and I agree sadly that it’s just like Kurt’s life Story. An awesome guy gone way too early 💔💔💔😭😭😭
I wish I was that good at holding up a conversation. He had so much potential and, beneath his addiction and bipolar and all that, he was a truly nice and chill guy. It’s reflected in this video. RIP legend. I’m a Gen Z teenager and I still love Nirvana. Legends never die!
What a nice and creative gentleman Kurt was! Heartbroken 💔
The interviewer is so fantastic. She’s so sweet, and soft spoken and respectful of Kurt. Because of that, Kurt probably opened up more and gave longer answers. I’ve never seen him more relaxed in any other interview he’s done. I think that has a lot to do with the interviewer. I love the questions she is asking as well. God, that man was amazing. I wish he didn’t die. I wonder what more joy and magic he would have brought to the world if he didn’t.
LJR 87 Kurt was amazing, but just reminding you that he wasn’t murdered, he committed suicide
Boys McMichael You are wrong. That’s what we were told but there is overwhelming evidence that he was murdered. Watch “Soaked In Bleach” and “Kurt & Courtney,” and do a lot of research before you speak about his death. He wasn’t suicidal. Courtney was the only one who said he was suicidal around the time Kurt died. It wouldn’t have even been possible for him to have shot up with the amount of black tar heroin found in his system. With that amount of heroin in his system, he wouldn’t have been able to pick up the gun. He had 3X the lethal dose of heroin, for the biggest heroin user in the world, in his system. What person OD’s and shoots himself after? He loved heroin more than anything. Plus, those last four lines of the suicide note matched letters from a practice sheet found in Courtney’s backpack, which she left at her lawyers house around the time Kurt was murdered. She never picked up the backpack. Plus, how was their no useable fingerprints on the gun or even on the shotgun shells inside the gun? It’s clear that whoever killed him wiped off all the prints off the gun and the bullets and the pen found stabbed through the “suicide” note. Plus, handwriting experts determined the only part of the “suicide” note that was not written by Kurt, was the last four lines of the note. They also determined it was written at a separate time. They used the most well-respected and experienced professionals to help them determine that his suicide looked stage and he was probably murdered. Many experts feel he was murdered. Plus, everyone else in his life said how optimistic and happy he was around the time of his death. They guy who found him said his hair looked combed. His hair was combed, so anyone looking through those glass doors could see who he was. Courtney was the one who called someone to fix the lights outside the greenhouse that Kurt’s body was in. That electrician was the one who found his body. The amount of incriminating statements that PI Tom Grant recorded, makes Courtney and others, like Dylan Carlson, look so guilty.
LJR 87 you did your research, and I’m not gonna waste my time doing mine, but I looked one the internet briefly, and there is still lots of evidence that Kurt committed suicide. Also, if he didn’t shoot himself, he also could have had an overdose from the heroine
Boys McMichael You’re entitled to your opinion, but true Nirvana fans like me, who’ve done extensive research into Kurt’s death, know that he was murdered. Just watch, listen and read everything you can (documentaries, books, movies, tv shows, audio clips, CZcams videos, etc.) before you come at me saying he killed himself. Do you know Kurt had 3 times the lethal dose of heroin for the biggest heroin user that ever existed in his system? He wouldn’t have been able to inject himself with that much black tar heroin because of how the drugs effects the body? There was no water found next to the body, which you need in order to use black tar heroin. The main detective on the case was friends with Courtney and was fired for police corruption shortly after working on Kurt’s death case. There’s a lot more evidence he was murdered than that. Believe me. Even if he would’ve been able to inject himself with that amount of heroin, the heroin would’ve incapacitated him almost instantly and he wouldn’t have been able to pick up the shotgun after injecting himself with that amount of black tar heroin. He also wouldn’t have been able to take off the tourniquet, roll down his sleeve, put away his heroin kit, and pull the trigger in less than a minute. With that type of heroin in his system. That’s just a small bit of evidence that he was murdered. Do you want to believe he killed himself because you are too lazy to research Kurt, his life, and his death? Or do you just not care enough to do that? You obviously are just an internet troll, who doesn’t care about Kurt. Do you realize that tons of well-respected experts, who each have several decades of experience in their fields, believe Kurt was murdered? One of those experts was a forensic pathologist, named Cyril Wecht, who has done hundreds of celebrity autopsies for over 30 years. Wecht said that in the thousands of death cases he has seen, he has never seen a case where someone was able to OD on heroin (especially that much heroin), and still be able to pick up a gun and shoot themselves immediately afterwards. No one has been able to find any suicide case like Kurt’s because it wasn’t a suicide. He couldn’t have even picked up the gun after injecting himself with that much heroin. He wouldn’t have been able to shoot up with the amount of heroin found in his system to begin with, because he would’ve become incapacitated and would’ve passed out before he had time to shoot himself. Kurt couldn’t have shot himself because heroin would have immediately incapacitated him in less than a minute after he shot up with heroin. Because heroin would have immediately incapacitated him, there wouldn’t have been time for him to keep injecting himself with more heroin. One shot of heroin would have almost immediately incapacitated him, yet he would have had to inject himself with a huge amount of heroin, several times, in order for Kurt to have had the blood/morphine level he did(1.52 mg per litre). That’s just not possible to do. Heroin turns to morphine in the bloodstream. Kurt would have had to shoot up more than once to have been able to get the amount of heroin found in his system. That’s not possible with heroin because it incapacitates you in less than a minute. If the heroin did not have time to circulate in the blood, which could give a high blood/morphine reading, like Kurt had, he would’ve had to shoot himself in less than a minute after injecting himself several times. That’s not possible. If he did that, the heroin would not have had time to take effect. Why would someone, who loved heroin more than anything, inject themselves with tons of heroin and then shoot themselves, before the heroin had time to take effect? That makes no sense. Plus, you need water with black tar heroin. There was no water at the Kurt Cobain crime scene. So, you are saying, in less than a minute, Kurt had time to remove the tourniquet, roll down his sleeve, put away everything in his heroin kit, inject himself several times with a lethal dose of heroin for the biggest heroin user in existence (not possible), and then shoot himself. That’s not possible. Also, the shotgun shell was found on the opposite side of where it should have been found. It would have been anatomically impossible for Kurt to have shot himself and have the shell pop up where it did, because the corpse grip Kurt had on the shotgun barrel, would have made it anatomically impossible for the gun to be positioned in a place where it would have had to have been positioned, in order for the shotgun shell to land where it was found. It could have ended up where it did only if it bounced off someone, or something, that was high above the ground. The corpse grip happens when someone dies the second they are holding something. The corpse grip occurs at the exact moment of death. You are so wrong if you believe he ended his life. No true fan actually believes that. A true fan does the research. You are not. Go away stupid child.
LJR 87 you don’t have to know exactly how Kurt Cobain died to be a nirvana fan. Their music is still incredible
What an articulate, intelligent, kind, humble, sensitive, talented man he was. I wish we could go back in time and save him.
So true.
If he saw this world, I think he would do the same even faster..
I really wish that too.
hard to save someone from himself
@@eryksowa2855 Very true, sadly.
Watching this, it reminds me how much his eyes tell his story.
The way he looked at people while talking.
I realize I haven't seen too many people that actually look at you like he did.. people rarely speaking each others eyes like this anymore.
Legend.
What?!! Do you live in a cave?
Windows to the soul
I think this interviewer is truly amazing. Asking such good questions and letting him have the time to speak.
Only Kurt Cobain can say “because I’m such a big rockstar and made a bunch of money” and not sound like a big rockstar who made a bunch of money ❤️ such a pure soul
exactly my thoughts. He's like "yeah, I am one now, and is just my role in life" or something like that. Very mature by then and with a small ego. So sad to not have him today as god knows how much more he could've created. After seeing this interview I believe even more in the theory of he getting assassinated.
@@mauroarriagada Same here, I think he was killed, even though loads of people have killed their self's on drugs, but he had so much drugs in his system, he couldn't of pulled the trigger, but then I think he could of set up the gun and reseted his finger on the trigger? We might never know.
KTS You could pull the trigger immediately after pushing in the syringe. I am not an expert on his death, but I have done IV drugs quite a bit and you got a few seconds there, depending on the type of drug and your own tolerance. But he’d been a heroin addict for several years by then, so he probably would’ve had a few seconds to pull the trigger after pushing in the plunger if he so desired and had planned it beforehand. I dunno. Morbid to think about.
@@chambeet I don't think he would of injected it then killed him self straight away, surly he would of wanted to enjoy the drugs first?
@@kts5920 I'm basing that he injected it off what I read in Heavier than Heaven. It was a long time ago that I read that, though, and I can't claim that that is the hard truth, but I definitely know he was an IV drug user typically and they found the needle and spoon on his person (or around it) when they found the body. I'm guessing if you're at the point of killing yourself, you're not worrying about enjoying the drugs anymore. But again, this is speculation on my part.
I like how this feels like a conversation more than an interview. Shout out to the interviewer and her excellent skills
By any chance, would you happen to know the name of the interviewer?
Much music
This is the only time i don't see him annoyed and being a dick to the interviewer as he usually did
I think its because hes so laid back easy to talk to
She is great. She gains his trust. So skilled and genuinely empathetic.
This has to be the greatest Kurt Cobain interview ever. You literally feel like you're standing right there, and it's happening right now😮
Either I’ve accepted it or I’ve gone beyond insane and I don’t care.
I felt that. ❤
"We're all a mess. Some people are just better at hiding it."
We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.
Breakfast club
And some people are just better at balancing their environment,for some that is very difficult. The very thing that helped him to write exceptional songs,is the same thing that helped to end his life early.
im a bear true
I wonder what Kurt would think about social media.
The reason kurt is opening up is because this interviewer is talking about real life real feelings. She isnt trying to be over the top she is down to earth. This is a cool rare interview.
Victoria Harrington I bet she's cute too
Yea She was on the same wavelength as Kurt and just spoke to him like a regular person and not ask ridiculous annoying questions...She also knew alot about Nirvana and music in general. Great job.
On some podcast type shit
Victoria Harrington that's what I love the most. In other big interviews they make him out to be an ass/ know it all but he's so open and down to earth in this
Erica ehm was an easy going interviewer, her days on much music as a vj were pretty cool..
Dearly missed and never forgotten... 30 years on and his music never gets boring
It's really very strange to see such a beautiful person talking about such deep matters. He is unique.
He was a beautiful man….no Homo
How are these two exclusive???
maybe you mean because now, if you're beautiful you're usually ugly on the inside, because of the rampant narcissism!
It's hard to believe Kurt existed at one point in time. He's almost like a mystical figure. He got really popular overnight and was really only known for about 2 1/2 years to the mainstream public.
Fella Einstein Yeah, but he’s been elevated to a mythical status in pop culture. That’s why it’s so strange to think of him as a living, breathing person rather than a legendary figure.
@Fella Einstein he's Jesus
Professor Poopypants you copied another top comment from another famous kurt cobain interview
I was so lucky to have been there when Nirvana exploded. It was a special time
@Fella Einstein - the word was "mystical"; not "mythical". Huge difference...
People are too quick to disagree nowadays without understanding nor digesting the full meaning of a statement. Imagine if you took the time to truly reflect on the real meaning behind someone's words. What gaps would be bridged? What ideas may be invoked? Why don't you do that beginning now? How profound that could be... You may have an amazing revelation!
Einstein... Are you Jewish and have a hard-on for Gentiles? You don't like blondes lol?
Kurt was just a normal ass person living a celebrity’s life
I think he was really intelligent
Etward so is his daughter...
If only he and Michael Jackson could've met, that would've been phenomenal.
Loner Phoenix MJs life was so horrific imo. Abused into showbiz and locked in by the fact you might have been the most talented human to exist so far
@@Lglover3 Yes, no shit. We already knew that. I said, if only he and Kurt could interact more and also provide advises towards one another. Hell, even collaboration would be a marvelous sight to see between the King of Pop and the King of Grunge.
I live this interview. The interviewer was kind, respectful, and interested. She put him at ease as we and he enjoyed talking. Best interview I've seen with him.
I had no idea Kurt could be so polite, well mannered and able to argue his thoughts without slurring. I think most of us, me included, understood very little of him.
The time elapsed since this interview was recorded (27 years) is equivalent to Kurt's entire lifespan.
27+27=?
54
Quick maths
It just shows how much life he missed out on. I'm 28 years old. I've experienced one more year of life than Kurt. Weird to think about.
Sucks he isn't here
I never realized how good looking & kind that dude was.
How can you even miss it?
all the time stupid people
do
His eyes are fucking amazing. No homo but damn bro if I looked like him...
Kurt was handsome. You think if he looked like chad hed be there?
He really looked at peace here.. Great interview.
Loaded!!!
I met him before a concert at Detroit's State Theatre. He saw me wearing a Ride The Lightning shirt and struck up a conversation with me. Without a doubt, one if the coolest, most down to earth people I've ever met. I truly miss him.
Jeff K Damn You are a Lucky Human being
Jeff K Your very lucky. Damn.
Annie Rosemarrie I can't agree with you more.
did he have an opinion on metallica?
Joshua 9999 Yeah, he was a huge Metallica fan. He was really big on Kirk Hammett.
He enjoyed this interview, she really engaged him.
glad you know how he feels
@@dirtyspriteisgood1857 if you can't see how relaxed and natural this interview is then your perception is off, way off. Grow up
Uuuh, I see where you're going with this. You think they smashed after?
@@raznatovicanastasijaI'm trying to find a fuck to give you but I'm all out
@@emmaflavell3341 Daaaaaamn lol
This is the best interview ever made ,, kudos to this woman😊😊
This interview is still probably one of the best if not the Best Kurt Cobain interview the close ups, the interview is super honest and present, intimate Kurt seems very relaxed not moody at all or on anything, and the city in the background this is his best interview I've ever seen, and thank God he did it and it exists so we can always see this relaxed side of him outside in Seattle its really just Perfect.
This interview has such a melancholic yet intriguing feeling
Yes 👏🏼
What the meaning of life curt?
I agree, it was almost like he was excited to reinvent the band with new influences, yet the substance abuse and depression took over the excitement.
What is grunge music?
Seriously Jeremy, how did you get here?
The cameraman made this interesting as much as the interviewer
It's amazing that cameraman George Stroumbolopogus kept his mouth shut for so long.
@@JRGough Wha?
@Chevy B it's the same sneakers he was found dead in.
*S* *H* *O* *E*
Hey George whatever didn’t shoot this. There wasn’t any George whatsoever freelance crew in Seattle in 1992. I shot this for the label , Geffen records. There is NO conspiracy theories but if you’re trying to extend one, I suggest you crawl back into your Russian hole and hibernate for another 200 years.
I can't believe I've never seen this before. He sounds so sweet, young, and real. I'm so sorry for him that it became overwhelming. Really sucks.
Wow. Given all of his interviews around this time, it really seemed like he was doing better in life.
Rest in peace, Kurt. You won't be forgotten for a very, very long time.
NEVERMIND
He was doing better! He was murdered.
the girl asking these questions is doing a good job too keeping him talking.
I agree with you. She treated him like a real person. And not acted all goo goo over him like other interviewers. I wonder if Francis Bean has some of his qualities.
Your pfp is the best mixtape of all time. BANG BANG RIP KURT COBAIN
@@mordecaismopstick Idk about THE best but it’s up their cheif keef is a legend of the rap game
@@mordecaismopstick nothing against you but I'm super surprised to hear that's your opinion of the best album of all time.
@@mordecaismopstick then again one of my favorite albums of all time is Chocolate starfish in the hotdog flavored water by Limp Bizkit
this is not an interview, its a conversation
FLOWIE that’s what makes it so great!!
The way interviews used to be♡
tornadocupcake hope this vibe come back to be honest 😭
@@flowie Don't count on it, bud.
Either way, I'm gratefull for it.
He was so honest. I wish he could have found some kind of solace and just took a break for a while and made it through 😢
Loved the interview. Thank you.
The 90s was a unique time to be a teenager, the last decade before the internet and social media. No online communities to find a kindred spirit, we were alone in our bedrooms listening to music and feeling alone.
Yes!! I am so thankful that I was a teenager in the 90s. It was a unique time and kids born after the 90s won't ever understand what it was like. You can bring back the clothes, the music, try rebooting the shows.. but it will never give them what we had back then.
So true.
Great point.
Im 23 and still living that life, i dont like the World today. Just Listen to nice Music with sad touch that make me feel like im not the only one with that mindset and doing my thing. Fuck social media and all that fake attention everybody wants. I rather live my life and die alone then trying to be someone i will Never be just to impress some idiots
Yep. Just waiting in my room for the radio to play my favorite songs so I could record them and make a mixed tape. How I wish I could go back to that time.
In most interviews Kurt comes across very guarded and sarcastic, but here he seems very relaxed and sincere, almost like watching a conversation between friends. Really great interviewer
Todd Chavez he’s also veryyyy high so he’s relaxed
Lol there is that too! I think she does a good job of relating to him though, other interviewers often come across superficial, but she seems genuinely interested.
I love bojack horseman
She interviewed him many times over the years so he knew her relatively well. It’s Erica Ehm for MuchMusic Canada, I remember watching this live as a kid and a short time later when he had just taken his own life this was in heavy rotation of MuchMusic and played almost daily for a month. She interviewed the other guys as well, I remember Dave Grohl speaking to her in the same setting
@@kiddada3I believe he didn't take his own life.. he was "different" cuz he was so happy about frances bean being born
This was an excellent watch for me. Thank you!
Always loved this Interview..... honest human being talking about his life, his journey, and vocation the light shined so bright on Kurt in this talk.... love it 💕 🕊️ 💕
It looks like he was looking at the whole world with a lot of empathy, sadness and compassion
He was so deep and empathetic and so caring, vulnerable and sad. His tank to handle living just wasn’t full. He rocks a lot which is a self soothing thing, I do that to sometimes. Prior to youtube I knew very little about him as a person. It makes me sad to know what we lost. He doesn’t mentally look in a good place here. His appearance is very disheveled which I’m thinking this is how he lived which is sad.
@@elizabritton4039 I have more the feeling it was his style. Like skaters normally had at this time, but maybe it is only, because I was a teen when he left the place called earth. At this time a lot where running around like that. He was in the end of his twenties, so why he should look like a broker or something. A little bit erlier, some bunks where running around and so on. About the other stuff, he was an artist, like I am, and unfortunately we experience the world in anotherway than most do. People hardly understand the way we live and because of that we are weirdos or even crazy. That is also the case that many artists have troubles with drugs and so on. For some resons, I am a very strong woman and I am glad for it, but strong once are very rare and unfortunately Kurt seemed to be alone in some way. I always liked him and today with this Interview, many things came back from those days. People like him are tolarating others how they are and how they live, unfortunately many times, we don't get it back. I think, some of them would like to do, what we do, but are unable to do it in the same way and that is when people are getting jallous and unkind. And instad of, at least trying to find out why they feel in the way they do, they are unkind to others. I hope you don't get me wrong here, a lot is in a general way here. I am only sick about it, that people look at the cloth of somebodey (I am 40, wear jeans, but really "bunk once"), four big rings, eybrow piercing and yes I still love hard rock and metal music and because I am not running around like other women in the same age I get also juged emidiately. And it happens the same, when I start to talk, they get surprised what I did and how smart I am. Even if I can not help Kurt anymore I had to write what just came into my mind. I hope it is readable, because my native language is German and I am better in understanding and talking in the English language than in writing. Have a nice day. ;-)
@@elizabritton4039 yes. He had been scratching at his cheek alot too and it was making a sore there. I love Kurt. He is so sweet and I have never been one to judge somebody because of the way they look. He was rough but he has a kind heart and hes a wonderful artist. He contributed something to humanity and thats a big deal.
@@andreagruber5813 , when I said disheveled it wasn’t a dis on his style it was that how he appeared made me feel a sadness knowing that he committed suicide and was depressed.
@@elizabritton4039 Well in erlier day it was gloryfied as beeing "melacholic". Depression is in my oppinion also for the pharmacies, like everything else, where they can make money with it. It is also something, we are not "allowed" to have anymore. The most are already dead inside and act like "robots", so that they fit in the todays sick society. Humans would be only allowed to function for the joy of a few. I really dislike this planet more and more and that is why I understand him very well. He had empathie, but it is better you don't have any feelings at all. If I could, I would take the blody red pill, that I don't get anymore what is happening around me, like the most do. Alright, have a nice day. Enjoy your life.
This looked more like a conversation than an interview. This is awesome and RARE!
Yes true ! She hopefully continued on this path she’s a great interviewer.
Yea...everyone says nardwar is the best but this is way deep.
Came off as pretty schmoozey if you ask me. This was a persona, not a person.
@@thedepthsofrepair were you asked?
That’s the beauty of it.
He's a really down-to-earth, introspective guy. His mind isn't burnt by drugs like some people who have used drugs for a while. I like him. I wish he was still in the world. Depression is a rough disease. When you feel suicidal, it's a fight to not kill yourself at a time when fighting for yourself is very difficult to do. It's day after day of hanging on & waiting for it to pass.
This is one of what I think is the best interviews of Kurt especially to show who he really was. He was comfortable and it definitely shows and it gives a true glimpse of Kurt Cobain!!😪👏
I like how he isn't blowing his smoke in interviewer's face
True respect.
Ah yes , a man of worthiness 🤣💖
hey
wait
i got i new complaint
Its 2020 now..but still missing kurt Cobain..whos still here?
Jonalyn Sombrio hi my friend
I'm absolutely with you bro.
same
I find these kind of comments so tacky, exploiting a man that killed himself because he hated the fame for internet points that literally mean nothing 🤮
Yep. I get tears in my eyes just by seeing his smile... I’ve kept all my Nirvana records even though they’re pretty much over-used but damn I still love their music. Peace friends.
This interview makes it hard to believe Kurt’s fame at the time. Kurt seems really relaxed and willing to talk. You could imagine this as being just two friends having a conversation that happens to be being filmed. It’s easy to assume that fame negates loneliness, but it seems as thought fame can be the isolating factor. Kurt gave so much of himself to us.
This interview was incredible. The interviewer did such an amazing job. This was such a great interview for an artist.
I really feel that a lot of credit should go to this interviewer. She did a fantastic job of not asking him all of the generic bs questions that everyone had been asking and he hated. Kurt would shut down, with anyone, so fast if annoyed, offended, or bored. She really, somehow, understood him and was able to keep him engaged where soooooooo many others had failed. Because of her we all have this and get to see him like this, with his guard somewhat down, just chilling and talking. I love it and I'm grateful for it!
Agreed. She did an amazing job. She builds a rapport after the first few minutes. I've never seen a contemporaneous interview that went as well as this.
Agreed, he seems to like her.
truuuuue
I believe it is Erica Ehm from Much Music.
@@anarchylane Awesome! Thank you!
The interviewer is a great listener. Kudos to her, too.
I believe the interviewer is Erica Ehmm from Much Music in Toronto but interview is in Washington
@Michael P jesus christ you couldnt even spell his name right
Totally agree..
I agree! I wonder if her coming off as a gentle soul, which I'm sure she is, helped him to open up more than what she had expected him too. This was the best interview!!
How this interview was shot and how some of the camera angles are is honestly somewhat eerie. Especially considering some of the questions that are asked. Props to the interviewer though she definitely asked some good questions about how the band has handled scrutiny and other things since they became big.
What a beautiful interview!
Watching Kurt talk, about anything, is my therapy.
Facts.
@@tapangasoul6928 I LOVE UR NAME ITS EVERYTHINGGG
I like listening to him talk when I’m doing things like homework and such
Sometimes when I listen to him talk I cry because he and my brother are so similar.

Wish I could give him a hug, it sucks that he’s gone.
I agree ! He was such a good guy.
I was thinking the same
Same!

@JustSomePerson yea....i mean if you wanna go there say fukk u for bein a junkie k.c.
He had soooooo much more to give the world 😢
What an amazing interview! He really opens up! What an amazing interviewer! So glad he doesn't have to live in the current time of social media!! ❤ You Kurt❤
A truly humble person who didn’t want fame but attracted millions.
Oh he definitely wanted fame, he just downplayed everything he wanted just so he had a better chance of getting it
@Your Mother Hubbard fax
He didn't actually have to do the interviews. He can be really condescending. Notice all the smoke he blew in the interviewer's face?
@Your Mother Hubbard He wanted fame but I think the issue was he didn't wanna be the top of the top.
@@thedepthsofrepair You are pretty dumb if you think he was purposely blowing smoke in her face.
The camera man is skilled af
SUPAHOTFIRE DESHAWN Those mad zoom in and outs though
SUPAHOTFIRE DESHAWN he’s trying to not piss him off but at the same time get all those different shots.
Very smart guy
i just wished he zoomed in to his ear

He was such a charismatic person. ❤
Really enjoyed this - thank you!
It's always the humble, thoughtful ones that check out. horrible

I wish is due is still around I really do and probably one of the only people but He started Grimes
When you chain smoke you really understand that feeling of “ive only had three”
@@viperhiggins7937 Believe me, I get it. He was being courteous the whole time. I just love that at #3 he thought "Uh oh, I should ask"
"I've only had three."
It’s called freedom to do what ever the #%
Beautiful interview. Nirvana and the grunge scene grew around me while I was in my early to mid-20s. When Kurt shared some of his creative plans for the band's music and his own work, it was-as if he held some hope in that moment. One of a kind talent & human.
Ive listened to this interview like 50x over the years. Very fascinating
we all just gonna ignore the fact that watch mojo uploaded this
Yep
I unsure if this was a clickbait.
We are going to do just that.
I really thought it was going to be a clickbait top 10 not the actual interview
What adds never got any till the end.
He seemed like a really nice, down to earth guy.
Squirrel Attackspidy I legit teared up and said why wasn't I bored elerier it legit makes me cry living in today
He is high af.
I remember when he died. Every teen felt it
Moshpittin' Kitten I still remember where I was when the breaking news came on MTV saying they found him dead
SASQUATCH nah his pupils are pinpricks he is definitely high af on opiates
Absolutely love this interview with Kurt but what breaks my heart is in this interview which was taken in 93 he had soo soo many plans! And he didn't make it past April of the new year 😢 rest in peace Kurt, a very awesome old gentle soul taken way too soon!
I met him 35 years ago in Chicago. He was lovely Really kind bloke
damn! Lucky you sir/maam
This interviewer was the best ever. She seemed genuinely interested when she asked him questions. She seemed like his friend. She didn't interrupt him.
I’m so glad to see this interview and the interviewer is a genuinely nice person. So nice to hear the interviewee actually speak.

That’s because the interviewer was a girl who got wet because of him, and that is heard right from the beginning of the interview.
Yep Erica Ehm did a great job interviewing
@@KellyK387 a girl got wet.
Kurt was such a calm n chill person, like i look at him n just feel relaxed n comforted
Dope will do that. Unfortunately
he said he's passive agreessive
He wasn't a chill person.
he was high af
he was depressed and probably high so there you go
He looks so good in this video. Hard to think it went south so fast after this
Makes you feel it wasn't actually suicide right?

Oddly me too it was respect
as opposed to blowing it in the interviewers face? Seriously?
@@marils8452 Right? Is it subtly respectful to not run someone over with your car? It's kinda the lowest bar of decency.
