‪@AmericanSpyFox‬
The 2nd video conference with Author Max Wallace: Who Killed Kurt Cobain & Love & Death The Murder of Kurt Cobain goes in an unexpected direction. Wallace mentions meeting & sizing up then, Private Investigator Tom Grant, before going on a book tour with Courtney Love's Father, Hank Harrison, who also happened to be the first manager of The Grateful Dead. But from there Wallace expresses deep resentment for amateur, internet sleuths who call out Courtney Love for her long history of violence and harassment, stating that she is actually a genuinely talented figure within the music world who deserves everyone's respect & admiration.
As well, Wallace claims to have intimate knowledge of Dave Grohl's personal thoughts concerning the Kurt Cobain murder conspiracy.
In the next discussion, we'll finally get to the meat of the investigation and begin hearing about the colorful cast of characters surrounding Kurt Cobain, such as the time Max and his writing partner Ian Halperin met Dylan Carlson at a "shooting gallery" where they posed as Canadian tourist to get him to talk about his friendship with Cobain & Love.

[@AmericanSpyFox]

The following discussions in the next video become much more focused on the people surrounding Kurt & the investigation. Next up will be Dylan Carlson, Patty Schemel & Michael Dewitt.

[@Thetonemaster1]

yeah about time.

[@vintageL122y]

I totally agree with you, Wallace isn’t totally versed to several of the facts that you have painstakingly researched for years. I get his intentions because he doesn’t want to rock the boat since making Soaked in Bleach. Glad you added several breaks to clarify the facts.

[@Zara.Tustra]

Hey, thank you for your effort and objectivity in videos about Kurt. In his new book, Leo Zagami insinuates about Kurt's murder from a perhaps slightly different, but interesting angle. I haven't read the book, but watched a couple of his podcasts where he only briefly touches on it. My impression is that Leo has a lot of dark information about the whole music scene, so think it would be interesting to investigate it more, maybe even invite him for an interview. Greetings from Croatia!

[@birdiedog5]

You don't have to spend half the video pausing the interview to drive home your points. He's not saying anything can change facts, but delusional hate for Courtney affects some people's ability to be objective. I don't agree with him that Courtney has earned respect for her talent, but evidently Billy Corgan does, so go figure. If you've ever passionately hated someone, maybe you'll know it's hard to see anything good about them at all. That's all it is. That can be taken to a wild degree.

[@extraordingary]

shes getting a bit of redemption arc musically lately cause of how things are, but it's all nonsense. Pitchfork (very influential) made Fantasy by Mariah Carey the best song of the 90s in their updated list. Nonsense. They also elevated Hole way beyond their initial ranking and their actual real world standing. They wanted women at the top, but they picked the wrong women for mostly terrible reasons. I'm certain they picked Courtney because of how the media tried to destroy her in the 90's, not a terrible reason, but not enough. And as a lot of people know, even though Celebrity Skin is one of the great 90s songs, performed brilliantly by Courtney and the band, 90% of the credit for that song goes to Billy Corgan. She's not responsible for any of "her" best work - it's mostly Corgan and Cobain and others. She's a good singer and probably writes her own lyrics which are pretty good, so she's got talent, but I doubt she has any serious respect as a musician. It's all ceremony if she does.

[@extraordingary]

@@xfleazillax8413 Corgan, Cobain, Pfaff and othersare responsible for the best of Hole's work as most of the people who would afford her this alleged respect are aware. And youre right, if it wasnt for her antics she would be more respected. Maybe those people would say they collaborated with her, maybe she would develop her talent, who knows? We know she got those songs from her partners, two of the most successful musicians of the era and all time, and we know that once she started making movies, she was linked with the likes of Ed Norton, Owen Wilson, Steve Coogan, etc etc...

[@maebandy]

Courtney is respected in the same way many narcissists are. By the many, who don't know them personally, who want to identify and follow their idealized facade. And by the few, who know them personally, and offer the narcissist some benefit or value and so receive the love bombing, flattery, and shallow, false, respect of the narcissist. It's strange that in one breath Wallace would admit her first husband said she paid people to assault her enemies and in the next deny the plausibility that she would pay people off (or leverage) her way into music history rankings and media. Courtney is like many Hollywood celebrities, they perform as public liberals but privately exist as self-focused conservatives or worse.

[@AmericanSpyFox]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed these things. And yes, Courtney is super elitist, conservative, small circle, we are holier than thou but her fans actually believe she would hang out with them in a park somewhere lmao.

@@AmericanSpyFox I'm not really sure what your definition of a conservative is, but it doesn't seem to be correct to me.

Charles Manson had some talent too but that doesn't mean we should just excuse what he did.

[@MikesTrueStories]

Sounds like Max is a little enamored with Courtney. I have NEVERRRR heard anyone ESPECIALLY these days after everything that’s come out about Courtney repeatedly say how “incredibly well respected” Courtney is. Very very very odd and suspicious to say the least. Also, why would Max Wallace agree to come on this show??? He’s a plant. He’s obviously team Courtney now and was probably paid off. He really was trying to drive home how ludicrous the idea of paying someone off is wasn’t he? While at the same time saying how he knows for a fact X amount of people are dependent on her for $. Very bizarre interview and not what I expected from him.

[@MikesTrueStories]

Also, it’s worth noting that “paying someone off” doesn’t necessarily mean cash. It can be favors, work, or whatever.

[@AmericanSpyFox]

Have to admit. Wallace made three comments that made me wonder what the agenda was. 1) claimed he has friends who are friends with the remaining members of Hole. 2) claimed to have friends within Dave Grohl's inner circle. 3) claimed that he knew several people are still being financed by Courtney. They stood out because this is heresy. Unless he could name the friends and then it be confirmed that those people are indeed privy to this information we are basically just taking his word for it. Why would the guy responsible for making the Cobain case a worldwide, household subject be friends with people who are friends with Courtney and Company? I did not bother asking who these people are because I knew he'd just say it's a privacy thing and get no answer. I don't think Max was "paid off" or anything like this but it is obvious that he wanted to humiliate me or just make me look stupid. I think that's REALLY obvious.

[@MikesTrueStories]

@@AmericanSpyFox definitely man. Those were all some serious red flags. I don’t think he was “paid off” in the literal sense like cash in hand. What I meant by that is he seems to have some sort of interest in trying to restore Courtney’s reputation. I mean that tangent he went on about how well respected and important she is was just so bizarre. Also, what is his career like now??? Maybe Courtney has promised him rights to something for a book or movie or whatever. I definitely think she talked to him before this or someone in her circle.

[@house9850]

[@staylor8935]

Its not suspicious. Its true! And I don’t like her that much. The reason he’s saying this is you have to make sure your bias isn’t painting false pictures of reality.

[@kyleshockley1573]

His dismissing of Krist feels a bit like a narrative shibboleth. "He's diverged from my political team, so now I need to reaffirm my own beliefs by implying he has a mental condition." I mean, both Krist and Kurt talked about how they enjoyed going out to the range for target practice and getting into collecting firearms. I don't know how he squares that one.

[@lanovia3838]

thank you Charles for your comments. I was also confused about Wallace's words, e.g. he says Patty Schemel or Dylan Carlson are dependent on CL's money but she is not buying their silence. He sounded like courtney actually totally contradicting himself. I think he just doesn't want to lose his connections or upset somebody. And CL's talent. What has her talent for music (if any, but that's another story) to do with Cobain's death case? He lost his credibility in my eyes. I have a lot of respect for you Charles because I see what you get to deal with in your work and still remain unbiassed.

[@aliya_punkenglish]

His outpourings about Courtney are really disturbing. If you want to convince someone about something, say it once, maybe, twice. If you have to repeat it like 30 times: "She is actually talented, actually she is very talented, you can't deny she is talented" blah-blah, you come across both as scared and unsure of what you're saying. He somehow reminds me of Charles Cross and his work, speaking as if in Kurt's honor but actually perpetuating Courtney's agenda all these years or that Montage of Heck author, what's his face, doing the same thing. And now this dude... And he certainly knows nothing about music and the music scene of that time and has to rely on hearsay. Kim Gordon openly said nasty things about her as did Kathleen Hanna and many other musicians. And nobody ever mentioned anything about her musical skills. On any interview she never has any meaningful discussion about anything remotely connected to music but always talks and talks about fashion, musician's hairstyles and behavior and the size of the penises her boyfriends and alleged boyfriends had. Says a lot about 'a musician.' And I would also disagree about the lyrics on "Live Through This." They have Kurt's creative pattern. His way of constructing metaphors, his style imagery, his way of flipping verses. It's either she desperately tried to emulate him as much as possible to get to Nirvana's level of success or it was his work through and through.

[@christinelikeschrysanthemums]

That’s exactly what I got. Is he trying to “convince” us that she’s talented by repeating it over and over? He was trying to brush off facts SpyFox was bringing up by making it sound like ASF viewers have not distinguished the difference between disliking her for no reason vs disliking her for true reasons. I hate talking with people like this, it’s a subtle way of taking over the interview.

[@buddingvenus8487]

Pretty on the inside vs live through this is pretty much broken down by before Kurt vs during Kurt. Pretty on the inside was harsh and not very melodic. Live through this is hard and melodic just like nevermind and inutero. It has the same elements Kurt used with those albums. Without a doubt he played a part. Then there is after Kurt and that is all of CL’s musical contributions past live through this. It is all over the place because different people are constructing different albums.

[@seltonk5136]

I've never met someone interesting that thinks Courtney is interesting. Kurt was the only one and he grew to absolutely hate her guts. . That marriage was over.

If people are dependent on Courtney's money, they are simply beholden to her. They won't ever speak out. She owns them. Period.

[@seltonk5136]

[@magnusm.6513]

Max Wallace is trying to prove his objectivity by giving props to Courtney for being a respected artist. This way he wants to enhance his credibility. And he is not completely wrong, you just have to separate musicians from the business world. Musicians have zero respect for her (Steve Albini callled her a "psycho hose-beast" and I'm sure Dave and Krist feel the same), but the music business and media world does. When Rolling Stone wants to be in good grace with CL, it's a business decision. They sell a lot of magazines when CL is on the cover (it's alll about the money, that's why corporate magazines still suck :)). I think she has a lot in common with Donald Trump. I don't think Trump is a great business man in a technical sense - like Courtney is not a good musician in the true sense. However, they both have great instincts and know how to surround themselves with the right people who do the actual work for them. That makes them successfull. As Mary Lou Lorde (she would have some interesting stories to tell about CL on this channel, too) once put it: CL is not a musician, she's a just a great actor who is playing rock star. And many people are buying it. But her music is not an expression from her heart, it's just a vehicle to get the admiration she's craving so badly. She doesn't really care about the music. The only musician who is her friend is Michael Stipe, who admitted, his primary goal as a musician was to get as famous as possible. The music came from Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry, Stipe just filled in the lyrics - just like Courtney did.

[@lanovia3838]

that's a great comment. But when Max Wallace said about CL how respected an artist she is actually gave the opposite result - Max Wallace lost his credibility in my eyes. He sounded more like her lawyer. You wrote "Musicians have zero respect for her" - listen to 09:50 Max says exactly the opposite, he says "musicians and music journalists respect CL as a musician."

@@DeniseVeronica When it comes to Kurt's death he has said some really bizarre things. Like, in an interview 10 years or so ago he commented on "conspiracy theories" and how they bother him. He then says something to the effect of, "Kurt bought a gun to deliberately kill himself. Why else would he buy a gun? He's not a hunter. He bought it for one reason" Which is an incredibly bizarre thing for him to say considering he knows full well that Kurt likes guns and owned guns. There's an mtv interview where Kurt and Krist are talking about guns and Kurt talk's about how he loves shooting and it's maybe the only sport he enjoys. Also, those of us who follow the case know why Kurt bought the gun. Dylan Carlson himself has said Kurt's guns were recently confiscated and there was a fear of intruders at his home. Hence the 20 gauge shotgun loaded with birdshot. Ideal for home defence. Dylan is the one who bought the gun for Kurt. Very strange comment from Krist. He has also spouted the Courtney narrative that Kurt's overdose in Rome was his first suicide attempt. Even though the doctor who treated Kurt to this day denies it was a suicide attempt. No one ever even thought that until Courtney said it after Kurt died. Another odd thing for Krist to put out there. Krist also said after the Rome incident Kurt seemed like he was just never the same and acted oddly because of that event. While no one else has ever claimed Kurt was different and never the same. A lot of very bizarre comments for Krist to put out there.

[@DeniseVeronica]

@@wantutosigh1117 I know he said all that and he also said Kurt bought towels b/c he didn't want to make a mess.

I just think he is watching what he says in public b/c he doesnt want anyone to kill him follow him or his Wife. I never believed his interviews. Maybe he knows something and doesnt want to admit it?

Great comment. I've been through the same, and it's shocking to say the least.

He had the whole world on his shoulders, but he could have made a complete turn around, and had a much better life had he been able to get away from his abuser.

Watched 'Alt Copperpot5' video of Nirvana, in Seattle, December 13, 1993. This stint, Kurt is just amazing. Laughing, bobble headed during songs, having an amazing time. Patty Smear was there that night performing with them. This show is a sample of Kurt, just months prior to his demise. First off, he loved Frances Bean to the Moon and Back. He was amazed at Fatherhood. Rosemary Carrol was an attorney, she would not help him with anything regarding a 'divorce'... She was a subject to putting a nail in Kurt's coffin. (figuratively) he was cremated. Watch the boys play for just over an hour, an amazing show. Good Vibes to All from The Pacific Northwest!

I’ve seen or heard nothing about Krists “mental issues” so I’m having a hard time believing it ,but I do have questions that Krist doesn’t believe Courtney had Kurt taken out, and after a close friend dying like that I could see having some mental trouble.

The reason why she's so respected goes deeper than just the music world. This has to do with Epstein. She comes from that world.

No, she comes from the creative world. Epstein was a business guy providing services that made him profit. Courtney liked molesting under age girls. This is well known. Epstein much like the Jews who financed western civilization since the black death, wade serving the servant aka Danny Goldberg.

😂 Epstein was linked to a foreign intelligence service to gather blackmail on American government figures, rich and connected Americans, and American popular figures for the benefit of said foreign government.

I’m thinking she had her band doing all the major work so she just screws around either high or drunk for live shows and she just didn’t care what noise came out during this show. I wish we had a show where we know for sure she was actually trying, I only hope that there are more pissed off sound guys out there with at least audio out there that we can take a look at ,I’ve even seen decent musicians out there having a bad night and just be off out there too. The sound guy even said it was a small club so Courtney being as high society she thinks she is probably just didn’t give a crap about the small audience and just wanted to get through her set and get out of there.. mostly I’m on your side I could totally believe she can’t play ,but I want more evidence before I make my final decision on that one..

[@orgone555]

He isn't saying that you have to respect her and/or think she's talented. I myself work in the music industry and understand that someone does not become one of the most famous people in the business without convincing a LOT of people, and that's impossible to do if you're a total hack, even if you're super rich. She's talented in the sense that she could write lyrics and speak her mind, she curated people around her to help build her profile, she knew who to date, what to wear...THIS is what he's saying. You have to realize that it takes a level of ambition and determination that is almost psychotic -- and THAT is highly respected in the music industry. Once you reach a certain level, and stay there, other "elites" will start inviting you to their events and adopt you as their "token rock star" because you did whatever it took to get there. You don't have to like her or think she is great, but you DO need to understand how she can make herself appear to get where she wants. I get that you're establishing a pattern of behaviour - that's great! Continue to do so. But she also has a pattern of behaviour of charming people and winning respect (without money); she is friends with Donatella Versace, Karl Lagerfeld etc etc -- these are HIGH SOCIETY people who do NOT spend time with individuals they or their people don't see fit. It is SO crucial to understand this and I think you misunderstood and took things too personally.

It all requires extreme talent! BUT yes even tho she is with the elites , mostly fashion designers and politicians, who contributes to make this world a little bit more rotten than what it already is, i dont think she will be collaborating with Metallica any time soon, she will not head line a world wide music festival she will not be in a Tarantino movie even tho she was sitting at his table at the oscar , because yeah she knows who to date, she has connections thanks to her intelligence and abuse ! For sure she knows how to write , i think Pretty on the inside is better than Live T.T! She is respected for sure, but for all different reasons that 1990 music scene was all about! As for the " interrupting" his guest i dont think he did really , its an exchange of opinions of a particular topic , its meant to go back and forth! Other than that yeah what she was able to create around herself is insane !

[@aliya_punkenglish]

I never heard any true musicians care if another musician is a friend of other celebrities like fashion designers. They are usually more interested in the music itself. In collaborations with other musicians, in discovering new original beats and melodies. I bet any musician would feel more of their 'token rock star' towards an obscure great talent from the street rather than HIGH SOCIETY people. And the fact that she is friends with more fashion designers than musicians sums up her 'musicianship' pretty neatly.

His record label probably make 90% of his profits off Foo. That's why these people tour until they look like fossils, it's not for the love of music...it's all about the money, power and fame for them.

true but Grohl has exceeded the wealth of Cobain's royalties. I think Grohl tours non stop because he is addicted to it. James Hetfield from Metallica said he is addicted to performing almost like a drug, this is a thing.

Money is money though right? Even a small piece of the Nirvana pie is a nice piece, especially when that money is infinite. Dave looks pretty fat and happy to me. I'll re-phrase a bit though, these older bands now probably do still love music but their ego's drive them more than passion does. You can tell by the crap music they are writing these days. So basically you are making my point, addiction...to money, power and fame just like I said. It's exhausting work.

It was very insulting the way he put down "amateur sleuths" as fans who just "hate CL". So dismissive and so wrong. At lot of us, me included, know more about this case than this so-called "professional". He wrote several books, but seemed to not know certain aspects that have been demonstrably proven. He's such an expert and professional, yet he doesn't even know how to pronounce Nirvana. Nir-VAAAN-ah. He sounds like a CL stan, which is pretty ironic considering his statements about our alleged biases. I never "hated" CL. I actually liked her back in the day. I grew to dislike her after learning the very suspicious circumstances surrounding Kurt's death, her extremely suspicious behavior, and vast connections. I have read every book published about this because the more I learned, the more I wanted to understand. HOWEVER, I am perfectly capable of remaining objective. There are some examples of things I've read that I don't necessarily believe, but if I were just on the "hate CL" train, I'd believe anything and everything negatively said about her. You don't have to be a "professional" in order to be able to be objective and there are plenty of "professional" writers who have great personal bias. I don't mean in this case or not JUST in this case. It happens with writers who write about other controversial topics. Amateur sleuths have solved cold case homicides the police couldn't solve. Just because someone isn't paid to do the digging doesn't mean we are at some sort of intellectual deficit or are incapable of objectivity. I was looking forward to this interview (even though I'm late to be watching it) and I was really turned off by some of his comments. Not to mention, people who investigate any situation and publish books about it often start out as "amateurs", but they put in the work. He's not any better or smarter than any of us. Based on some of his off-putting comments, I'd argue he has some deficits himself. Minimally, he sure wasn't clever in some of his comments. The definition of amateur: a person who engages in a pursuit, especially a sport, on an unpaid rather than a professional basis. There is nothing about the definition that implies inferior to "professionals". You know who else were considered amateurs in their field? Darwin, Galileo, Michael Faraday. There are many more, but you get the idea.

Clearly there is a reason for that to many to count clearly he doesn't want problems with Courtney on the scale of his life being threatened I mean I wouldn't either which is why spyfox added that clip of Dave's interview at the end I'm only refering to how max is answering in this interview and in the other interview like he knows how Dave and krist personally like they are best friends to know for a fact dave doesn't think Kurt was murdered he never told max to his face that he believes kurt killed himself so don't speak for Dave in that way it miss leads people watching I would have said to my Knowledge or as far as I know dave has never told anyone close to him or spoken publicly about kurt being murdered. To me it seems max is playing it safe because Courtney knows who he is she knows about his book he knows who she is and a lot of the horrible things she did given they were in his very book and not trying to rub that women the wrong way in pt1 and pt2 of this interview by wording his words carefully and giving her praise at times even.

[@bryanfalcho6293]

Saying Krist is anything less than honorable , and Dave is well respected is a HUGE Stretch ...Dave sold-out by the time Kurt's funeral was over. Any1 alive back then knows Krist had back bone and conviction, and Dave wanted to front his own project, Dave wanted to be in the spotlight. Now he has even a bigger spotlight since he doesn't have to share it with Taylor (RIP)

[@michellelangdon5134]

Exactly!

Dave is about as edgy as a suburban Sears

Max, I hate Courtney more than I thought I could hate. However, as much as it kills me to say this, I will agree that Courtney was a intelligent, talented person in certain areas, and Live Through This and the one after, were good albums. I hate myself a little for liking some of her faster punk songs, but I still hate her songs like Malibu or whatever it was, and how the chords before she sings "oh make me over is the same as before Kurt's lyrics "one baby to another..."

[@alancarter9471]

I used to believe Courtney when it happened. After Kurt and Courtney and Unsolved Mysteries I started to do my own research and was on the fence. After some point years and years ago there was just to much to deny.

[@alancarter9471]

I love Kittie. When I found them and brought their album to them it took some convincing that it was an all girl band. Lol

[@xfleazillax8413]

I’m guilty of liking Live Through This and a few songs on Celebrity skin ,and I was into Pretty on the Inside when it was more punk and I was pretty pissed off in my youth ,I also have a hard time believing that she just can’t play guitar ,I’m thinking she probably just didn’t give a crap about the small club or was drunk and high that night,could be be she was just pissed off at the sound guy and was doing it just to get through the the set and get out of there ,she has multiple albums out there if can’t play or right there’s no way your going to be out there that much unless the band behind you Carrie’s all the weight even then it would stick out like sore thumb ,I’d say she’s not a great musician but she can play enough when she sits down and gets serious she can pull it off at least..

[@caliblue2]

Well obviously even Kurt Cobain respected Courtney at the beginning. But that respect in my opinion was for some pretty sick reasons. I remember the interview were he describes when he first met her that she was the kind of woman walking down the street that could commit a murder. And that was Kurts fatal error. How respected Courtney love IS?? Sounds like she’s still paying off some journalists.

[@brianblackwood3120]

As a musician I have zero respect for cl as an artist. She’s not a good singer or guitarist or songwriter

[@lugarner8493]

Courtneys old interviews where she acts like poor punk rocker barely making it .. when in reality she has a trust fund just bugs me …she hid being rich very well

[@kenwatts3848]

Seems to me that Courtney has some serious dirt on Dave Grohl. I think he fears her because of what she knows.

[@teassea]

It amazes me that this guy who wrote the books about this topic refers to amateur internet investigators like most people these days talk about "conspiracy theorists." That phrase is meant to turn people away from whatever is being discussed, and it usually works on the weak minded.

[@AmericanSpyFox]

If you were there for the entire conversation you'd understand that it's a putdown toward me. Oh, you think you've done something great here. You're noone. I'm Max Wallace.

[@thedramallama69]

@@AmericanSpyFox clearly you did better research than this clown, he feels threatened and it shows... or another paid courtney rep

[@TrickyWookie]

You’re taking it personally when he’s just trying to establish the fact that there’s a lot of confirmation bias when it comes to Courtney nowadays often from people who aren’t old enough to know that she simply did have clout in the alternative music scene before nirvana even got signed. He’s just emphasising the fact that effective journalism requires objectivity. I’d like to see someone out there dig deeper into Jon silva & gold mountains part in the events leading up to Kurt’s death. R. Carroll has done a nice job muddying the water.

[@Cloud007.]

Thank goodness there's another person with good critical thinking skills in the comments.

[@hwoods-kg1jf]

Exactly! Actually around the time Kurt and Courtney started hooking up/dating, Hole was signed to their own label and were actually kinda bigger than Nirvana at that time (then Nevermind came out and changed everything.) But Courtney can definitely stand on her own when it comes to writing songs, both music and lyrics, and has a way of expressing herself/her rage/pain/and anger in her music especially that I've always loved and could identify with. And I don't believe any of the rumors that Kurt wrote LTT for her at all. Every single person involved on working on that record said it was all Courtney, Eric, Kristen, and Patty. And it is true that LTT is one of the best albums in the history of rock. It's definitely a classic record and deserves respect in it's history of music.

[@TrickyWookie]

@@hwoods-kg1jf I personally don’t think she’s a good singer but she has a style -on record at at least. I think her real talents lay more in knowing who to influence & how to do it. - The ‘art’ of being a rockstar & creating a public image. She was very knowledgeable in that area & extremely driven. Kurts career benefitted from her ‘priceless advice’ in that area.

[@aliya_punkenglish]

@@TrickyWookie So much so that they had to cover the cigarette burn on his forehead on the 'priceless advice' video.

[@TrickyWookie]

@@aliya_punkenglishwhat’s your point? Goes without saying kurt regretted becoming inextricably entwined with courtney & her world on many levels, but it’s not a coincidence he gets with her & signs with her buddies at gold mountain at the same time, which leads to Geffin, big advances, healthy video budgets, major tours, massive promotion etc … in other words the Rock Stardom he thought he craved

[@igitha..._]

I like so many in the "whole generation of young people" that at one time had any kind of regrettable reverence for what Courtney Love pretended to do in her celebretarian pretzel show-pony vapidness on and off stage have now grown up and we see through her PR facade. It is completely possible for someone to be a fan at one point then grow to realize the deeper aspects of the musician and musicianship or lack thereof behind an album including narcissistic traits and questionable behaviour with or without the inclusion or acknowledgement of a crime or crimes.

[@xfleazillax8413]

Thinking about it didn’t she say something in an interview she was taking guitar lessons somewhere around celebrity Skin?

[@buddingvenus8487]

Yes. It’s called evolving. Haha

[@danielsimpson501]

Good interview. I cringe everytime he says Nirvaaana tho 😂

[@TammyFox1989]

Glad I'm not the only one!!😁

[@lisaisgrig7636]

I frankly don't see anything that Courtney Love has contributed positively to this world at all, let alone to music (besides making a living off of Kurt Cobain's musical talents). I was born in the mid-60's (I'm actually the same age as her), and I know alot about music, especially growing up in the Bay Area where music has always played a very important central role in our lives growing up here. I've listened to music of every genre since I was born and I've been a fan of them too! But I've never heard one song of Hole's. Never even heard one song broadcasted on the radio... and I've never had any interest in her. Nothing in particular. But overall what I've come to learn about her over the past few years since I learned more of the facts around Kurt Cobain's death, is that she's just a big time loser! She's a terrible role model for anyone growing up and identifying with her, and I don't think her song lyrics would contain much of a message to her fan base anyway. She's certainly not a feminist (but is just into having HERself being worshipped). Nor is she a "good" woman, wife or person. I really don't want to know anything more about her than I have to. She's just really bad news; negative vibes and ugly persona, not to mention a dangerously drug addicted psychopath. I've also never seen any of her films (portraying 'loser' women like herself that wouldn't interest me). I mean, I hate to sound so hard, but I really believe that CL's 'earned' this type of reputation that she's cultivated for herself. I don't see anything about her to like. She doesn't interest me at all. And it really irks me (even though I sincerely appreciate Max for having the balls to even write about this subject matter), is the way he refers to people in the industry having so much "respect" for Courtney Love's "talent". I don't know if "respect" is is the appropriate description. Somehow I get the impression that people just deal with her because they have to, don't care what she does or are intimidated by her. I don't know why she's just left to keep running around causing all sorts of mischief (crimes) and keep getting away with it. But who knows, maybe someday she's going to do one crime so big and obsence (like Kurt?) that she won't be able to run away from it (to live in another country, away from prosecution). I think that she's given a little too much credit as a "talented artist" (overly emphasised). I can understand if he wants to interject something about the argument of people being "haters" on Courtney, but I think it all depends on what he's referring to in the context of being "hateful". He's talking about viewers to your channel being Courtney haters like violent freak type of extremes of people, but I don't think that of your channels viewers. On the contrary, quite the opposite. Most that I've witnessed here are rational, intelligent, proactive, and serious. For the record, I don't really hate anyone. But I also don't like or agree with the lives of violent, dangerous people (Cluster B's/personality disordered). I can't comprehend how to be violent, harmful or hateful. My personality is the opposite in nature. I guess everyone makes their own choices unless they're psychotic, and we will all give an account of our lives when that Day arrives. Come to think of it, maybe the one good thing about Courtney Love is that she teaches us (normals) about the sinister reality of good vs. evil and how to see the red flags and take appropriate actions to save yourself should any sociopath attempt to cause us ANY harm. But I'm really thankful for this video and for all the people who are in their conscience are brave enough to stick their necks out fight for doing what's right. Justice will happen in either this life or the one to come, that's for certain. Lisa Isgrig in Northern, CA - 01/14/23

I'm also your age & have lived in the Bay Area most of my life. I'm a musician like most of my friends in the punk scene all over. We are all older punks. I've had a few of my friends say they hung out w/CL in SF bk in the day. I remember thinking soooo,I wasn't impressed then & still not. I can't stand ppl that use ppl & can't stand females like CL. I know exactly her type. You'd think w/all that dirty money she would had takin some guitar lessons at some point. She plays guitar like a toddler. I feel the same way as you. Ppl that don't pay in this life time for their evil deeds will in the next.

CL speaks to anyone that is still at war with the toxicity within themselves. She will speak to anyone that is not healed. Live through this is fun to scream to when you are bleeding everywhere.

DeWitt has not research Courtney. He seems like an apologist in her behalf. Proof, CL is not talented. Proven by that concert footage of her and that producer that backed up Kristen.

No, he's right. She has a lot of pull still. She has some talent. There. Now, she still had her husband killed. Not just any husband either.

[@PaulWildstar]

Exactly! Dave knew Courtney via Jennifer Finch (of L7). Courtney and Jennifer knew each other for many years before Kurt hit the scene. Pat Smear had known Courtney for many years before joining Nirvana. Roddy Bottom (of Faith No More) is another ex-boyfriend of Courtney's that's not talked about much. He is an interesting character, for sure. There are more...

[@AmericanSpyFox]

agreed

[@NiKOliDANBURSKi]

Ok... I think why Max Wallace seems to slight Krist as "used to be an important voice in progressive politics" is because Krist has the 'wrong' politics now. There's a video on youtube of Krist explaining why he left the democrat party plus he famously dared to put Donald Trump in a positive light on Twitter once. Mike Mills from R.E.M wasn't too happy about it 😄
