[@copbabycombo1311]

I can see why Rape Me can be triggering but if it makes it any better Rape Me is an anti-rape song. Kurt was very passionate about women's issues and he was a feminist.

[@ethanvilla4418]

Actually, I don't think "R@pe Me" was about physical r@pe at all. It was about journalists that he and Courtney trusted and let into their lives then turned around and betrayed them by writing articles about their drug use which led to Kurt and Courtneys child being taken away for a while. There's a few lines in the song "My favorite inside source. I'll kiss your open sores. Appreciate your concern. You're gonna stink and burn." There's an interview where he was talking about the situation with their child being taken away and he literally mentioned all the allegations were made by "inside sources" and how much they betrayed him and how he felt "violated" by their accusations and claims. But I think he went with the Anti-rape song narrative because it cleverly covered up the true meaning of the song and made it more compelling and relevant to the listening public.

[@shaggy7927]

One of the reasons why MTV didn't want Nirvana to play Rape Me is because MTV thought Rape Me was about them

[@dathorndike4908]

This performance is so iconic. It represents everything that was brilliant about Nirvana. Kurt giving the finger to MTV brass by starting with the first few bars of "Rape Me". Then Krist nearly knocking himself out cold with the bass toss at the end. Kurt messing up his own song by coming in late on the last verse... so brilliant.

[@floverdevel]

i agree :) but for me it's Territorial Pissing @ Jonathan Ross that captures the essence of Nirvana: they were supposed to play Lithium but instead played Territorial Pissing, smashed their instruments and then leave without saying any words :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nICyY4GHe9Cof7c

[@willblood7082]

I like what Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid told Rolling Stone magazine: "My favorite song on Nevermind was 'Lithium.' Kurt Cobain tapped into something in the culture that nobody had given a voice to before: passionate ambivalence: 'I'm so ugly, but that's OK 'cause so are you.' He captured the idea of having incredibly powerful feelings about not having feelings."

[@ColinRichards1]

The reason they started destroying their gear at the end was because they had been asking their record label for months for new equipment and they kept getting push back. They knew the big boss at the record label was going to be at this show and they new ne had the checkbook, so they did it to force him to buy them new gear. And the bass player would normally do a trick where he threw his bass like 10 feet in the air and catch it, but when he looked up, he was blinded by one of the lights and couldn't see it and it gave him a concussion, they went to find him after he ran off and they found him drinking champagne with Brian May from Queen.

[@tsg_frank5829]

Kurt was authentic. He never compromised for anyone, and he laid bare his soul in his songs and his stage performances like few other rock stars ever did. He resonates so much with people because he was a complete iconoclast in a profession rampant with greed, imitation and conformity. He stood apart from that and that is why people love whim so much to this day.

An old friend of mine who used worked for Marshall at the time (a guitar amp company) and was working that show. They had provided amps that night, and he was backstage watching the show. He was in charge of over seeing their amps. When Curt started destroying the amp he began freaking out. Someone from MTV grabbed him and told him that there was nothing he could do and just smiled at him. he said that that just amp sat around broken at Marshall after that. Don’t know what ultimately became of it.

[@a.mnmemories4289]

I see you put suicide survivor on your thumbnail deal. My wife suceeded in suicide in 2009. We were 27 years old and high school sweethearts. We also had 2 daughter's. They were 8 & 6 yrs old at that time. I then had to get the girls to school, go to work, go pick them up an hour and a half after they got out of school. "Thankful for after school classes" go home, get home work done, cook dinner, showers, laundry, etc. Trying my best to get time off for school plays, parent teacher conferences, etc. The 3 of us formed a bond that's unbreakable. My girls are grown and gone now. I'm a grandfather at age 42. I live in vegas and go back home regularly to see my kids. It's amazing how fast that period of time went. Although some of the worst times of life, as you don't just get over losing your better half. It also taught me so much. The girls tell me all the time they're grateful for me. I laugh a bit because they helped me more then they'll ever know. My point in telling my story is this. Suicide is said to be selfish. I never knew what that meant until you no longer hear her voice calling out to you when you get home from work. Please, just think of those that love you. The pain you put them thru will be for life. Hug your mom, dad and especially your kids. Tell them you love them everyday. I do. I know this is long winded but should you get to this point and are struggling just leave a comment here and I'll respond.

[@MentalAmanda]

Your story carries so much weight, and I can feel the strength in your words even through the unimaginable pain you’ve been through. Losing your wife, especially at such a young age, is a tragedy that no one should have to endure. But the way you stepped up for your daughters, becoming their rock while carrying that immense grief, shows a level of resilience that not everyone can muster. You didn’t just survive-you raised two strong daughters through the hardest moments, and you created that unbreakable bond with them. The love between you three is a testament to your strength and your deep commitment to them, even while dealing with the crushing loss of your partner. You mentioned something that’s often said-that suicide is selfish-and I want to gently offer another perspective. When someone is struggling so deeply, it’s not that they don’t care about their loved ones. The pain can become so consuming that it clouds their ability to see past it, making them feel like a burden, or like their loved ones would be better off without them. I can attest to that from experience. It’s not about selfishness, but rather a profound sense of hopelessness. With that being said, it’s important for others to hear what you’ve shared-that the absence is felt in every moment after. It gives a different voice for those struggling. Thank you so much for sharing.

Nirvana final song "you know you're right" was recorded in January 1994 and Kurt Cobain died in April 1994 you should react to that song.

[@robbob5302]

Amanda. Thank you for this reaction. Kurt Cobain was a tortured genius, whose artistic vision spearheaded a complete paradigm shift in Rock music in the early 1990s. If you are truly interested in analyzing Nirvana music from a mental health standpoint, then I strongly recommend the song “You know you’re right.” Released years after either his suicide or demise, (depending who you ask) this was the very last song Kurt Cobain ever recorded. It may well be his most introspective song as well. Written as his marriage to Courtney Love was falling apart.

[@TheMiddlingGamer]

He was a genius, and he was always in pain due to a chronic illness he suffered from, which he self medicated with hard drugs, cocaine, heroin and whatnot. But he is often misrepresented as this tragic, insightful and sorrowful character, which couldn't be farther from the truth. Kurt Cobain was GOOFY as hell! He was funny, irreverent, he pulled pranks, he had an almost child-like demeanor, as per the people who spent a lot of time around him. He had a beautiful soul and the world is a lesser place since he passed.

[@travisgray8376]

I've always seen this song about suffering bipolar cuz people with bipolar take lithium n that's the song title n the lyrics I can relate heavily as I suffer bipolar and had similar thoughts and experiences.

[@TheScorpio1999]

Even though I could, well maybe, look up the meaning of this song, I choose not to, as I find it far more fascinating not knowing what it's about. The 2-chord back and forth guitar part during "I'm not gonna crack" is oddly hypnotic to me, and simultaneously bizarre given the lyrical content going on. As for the performance, Kurt slightly deviates some of the lyrics in the live version from the studio version. Why he did this, I can't really say. Boredom? His sense of humor? Could have been both. The older I get, the more strange it gets seeing a young Dave Grohl of what's now known as the Foo Fighters on the drums back in those days. This man is one of the hardest hitters in the history of heavy hitters. Krist Novoselic (the bassist) I'm sure wasn't planning on injuring himself; he was sidelined for a lil bit, but was fine all in all. He spoke about it in an interview a few times. I'm curious though; could it be possible that Kurt wrote these lyrics from a third-person perspective?

[@MentalAmanda]

am with you, I like not knowing. I sometimes look it up after, but typically I only learn the intended meaning if someone else tells me. Now that you mention the back and forth guitar, you're right, it does have a trance like effect. Happy to hear the bass player was okay. You know me, I will worry about fictional characters on shows, people I don't know and apparently injuries from several decades ago. HAHA. Kurt writing the lyrics from third person is an interesting theory!

[@loriredwood2269]

You have to remember that Kurt Cobain created characters in his songs. Essentially a persona tells the story, just like in poetry. You can not assume that the persona is the poet or writer. For instance "Polly" is written from the perspective of a man who tortures and rapes his victim. It is based on a story that Kurt read about; however, it would be wrong to assume that Kurt was the persona in "Polly", that is a sadistic murderer. "Lithium" is another such song and unfortunately many people who assume this is about Kurt's personal mental health have helped to propagate the inaccuracies about his life - and more importantly - his death. #JusticeforKurt

Kurt Cobain has had such a profound impact on my life.

[@jackmaddox4960]

As a life-long musician and lead guitar player/singer in a bunch of rock bands, and a HUGE fan of Nirvana and Kurt's song writing and lyrics (and every year on the anniversary of his passing I buy a pack of Winstons and some cheap beer and sit in my back yard and get drunk with the cat), I'm always a tiny bit frustrated when people hear Nirvana for the first time from a live show. Truth is, most of the time, Nirvana actually kinda sucked live... Kurt was often high as hell on heroin, and his voice often didn't make it thru a whole show, and frequently they sounded totally unrehearsed. The album versions are infinitely better as a first-time reference, and when you know those versions of the songs, one can appreciate the, shall we say, stripped-down version of the live shows (no layers, bad effects, no harmonies, etc.) a lot better. Besides, Nirvana live was something that one needed to experience in person, like at the B dorm in Evergreen State College in Olympia where they played more than once, along with some other soon-to-be-famous grunge bands. This is not a bad performance, but the album version is the one to be heard first. Speaking of albums and mental health, when I bought their last studio release, 'In Utero', and came home and listened to it all the way thru, I picked up the phone and called the singer from my band and said "I think Kurt's going to kill himself in the near future", to which he replied, "you heard the album too, huh?"... Listening to it, it's so obvious, there are so many signs, clues, whatever, in those songs. The very same thing was evident in the posthumously released last album of Elliott Smith, "From a Basement on a Hill", another fantastic album, grim though it may be in parts... Sorry for the long comment, but Nirvana, Kurt, depression, suicide, and mental un-health are all significant aspects of my life, and have been for a long time....

[@MentalAmanda]

Wow, thank you for sharing such a raw and personal insight. It’s clear how deeply Nirvana, Kurt, and their music are intertwined with your life and experiences. I can understand and appreciate now the live shows being a completely different beast, often rough, unpredictable, and reflective of the chaos Kurt was going through. I'm excited to dive into the album versions in future reactions and have that comparison for myself. Hearing how you recognized the pain in In Utero as a foreshadowing of Kurt's fate speaks to your deep connection with the music. It's like you saw through the layers of angst and rebellion into the heart of his suffering. And it's heart-wrenching to realize just how much of that pain he put into his art. I'm glad that you have this music to offer validation to your own struggles, but please remember that you never have to face your struggles with a pair of headphones and a beer. You can always send me a message on IG @mentalamanda if you ever need to talk. I don't think Kurt would have ever wanted his fans to lose their battle and I think he offered his music up to help us. So the best way to honor him is to keep fighting!

[@Kinder_witch]

[@MentalAmanda]

Relying on alcohol to sleep can lead to several significant risks. While alcohol may initially help you fall asleep faster, it disrupts the sleep cycle by interfering with the REM (rapid eye movement) stage, which is crucial for restorative sleep. This disruption can result in poor sleep quality, leading to feelings of fatigue and grogginess the next day. Over time, dependence on alcohol to sleep can develop, increasing the risk of alcohol abuse and addiction. Additionally, regular alcohol use can have harmful effects on physical health, including liver damage, heart problems, and an increased risk of certain cancers. It can also exacerbate mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. These risks highlight the importance of finding healthier and safer ways to address sleep problems, such as practicing good sleep hygiene, engaging in relaxation techniques, or seeking professional medical advice.

I remember the rock station back home playing a parody of Eric Clapton's Cocaine, with Cobain replacing cocaine. The song was about Kurt offing himself. It was very dark considering. That was on the East Coast, and most of us didn't like grunge. I still don't, with the exception of Alice in Chains. I saw AIC open for Ozzy in 1990 or 91. Layne had his entire leg in a cast and was rolling around in a wheelchair singing. I was impressed.

Oh. My. God. You are missing the forest for the trees. Have you never had fun? Have you never gone to a party? Anayzing these lyrics for the sort of poetic sense you're looking for completely destroys every fibre of the quilt Kurt is building. You have managed to take a joke, explain it to the audience piece by piece, and completely missed the fact that you've destroyed the magic. Worst KZbin Reaction Ever.

This chick thinks she's a female Dr Phil. KZbin really needs to stop people who are clueless. There might be someone who actually needs help that stumbles across this garbage.

This channel is here to break the stigma of mental health. I am sorry it didn't suit you, but this reaction is to start conversation on mental health, not listening to magic in music.

Too much forced analyzing mostly meaningless lyrics, hilarious to hear you babbling nonsense though.

The whole point of this channel is to open conversations about mental health using music. I am happy you are not needing such help.
