INSIDE Kurt Cobain’s Abandoned Hollywood Hills In Utero House

[@Atrox-Veritas]

I really like that you put a very vague sound with Kurt singing in the background, almost as some echo from the past, very haunting and sad! Good job my friend!

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Thank you Adam!

[@victoriavanwolfen4160]

Yea, that got me cryin. Right in the heart.💚

[@texasgirl8327]

I loved that too! As he was recording the living room, I imagined Kurt there living life and living his music and then suddenly Kurt's music came on and I was like DUDE I GOT THE GOOSEBUMPS! That really drove it to the next level. LOVE IT!

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

Wow, you guys really lucked out that the back door was open. So hard to believe that a multi-million dollar house like that, with such an amazing history, would just be left empty and abandoned like that. Sad! Awesome that you guys were able to capture it on film though!

[@cemetree]

It’s actually only worth about 1.5 million.

[@everlastla9053]

@@cemetree is Courtney the owner of this house?

[@cemetree]

@@everlastla9053 no. They never bought it, only rented. The house was owned for many years by a couple and then sold in 1999 to a lady who lives in Alta Loma. I can only guess maybe she bought it for increase land value as it was bought for somewhere around 480k and now is assessed at triple.

[@everlastla9053]

@@cemetree thanks for the fast answer! I can imagine a piece of land in the hollywood hills is not cheap and the price will rise in the next years more and more for this property !

[@cemetree]

@@everlastla9053 i had to do a fair amount of digging to find the owner. I messaged her on insta but her account is private so I don’t even think she read it. I may write to her if her listed address is correct and see what she plans to do. it’s only going to get worse because the graffiti in the living room was only done this year from what I could tell from videos.

[@hughhaefner3317]

Kurt Cobain gave some of the most interesting and honest interviews. I'm not a Nirvana fan, but I am definitely a Kurt Cobain fan. Very articulate and likeable he was.

[@em-jx643]

Whenever I see anything on Kurt Cobains life, I could cry. Such a beautiful man, with such a beautiful soul. His voice is like therapy. I was 17 when he passed. I was sat in a bar in Portugal. It broke my heart 💔

[@RaAndTheGodsOfLoveFire]

You were 5 years older than me. I remember that time being in 6th grade standing in line for the buss taking in the news about Kurt and feeling heartbroken because my rock hero died.

[@raisa_cherry35]

I was maybe 4 at the time of his passing 😢

[@Debra-k1f]

I was 27, just like Kurt ❤

[@rebeccablakey2637]

So sad that this house is being demolished. You can actually visualize Kurt and his family living there. If those walls could talk there would be amazing memories told. Thanks for this tour and for how respectfully you walked through the home.

[@joeguitar75]

they did not live there very long. And I'm not sure you want to know the stories the walls would tell. Montage of Heck tells some of them in these rooms...not pretty at all

[@e.c.1975]

If book shelves could talk...oh man. Thanks for this video. Glad someone recorded this before it is to late.

[@magusking9215]

I think right after this video came out, the house has been restored ( somewhat ) and put back on the market - I live close by and I'll go see for myself today.

[@Shagley]

@@magusking9215 Oh cool let us know 😎

[@magusking9215]

@@Shagley Yeah... NO My bad, it was just a photoshopped image on the real estate company's part LOL It is still the same - decrepit wood stairs and balconies and all - but Scott said it's been sold. Wonderful neighborhood though, and I was happy to go see that house as it was in 93 / 94

[@deevineinterventions]

This is actually a really beautiful house! My favourite of all Kurts for sure.

[@sugarmagnolia1506]

Came from grimmlife and I am absolutely living for these! Been a Nirvana fan since 1991...awesome work!!

[@melissaamoroso2205]

Scott is pretty cool, if I might say myself!

[@Spooky_515]

You guys make a great team. Amazing content for us Nirvana fans. Gorgeous home if it was restored

[@dl_arneson612]

I'm a HUGE Nirvana fan and I can't thank you both enough for doing this!! This is wild to see!! I really appreciate it Scott!!

[@factorybear5264]

Just found you through Mike and now I’m watching your video too. I left a comment on Mike Grimm’s vid about the stolen doorknob out of the bedroom. Someone must be privately enjoying that piece somewhere in America and I don’t blame them. I would have stolen it too. Shamelessly. RIP Kurt. RIP Kristen. RIP El Duce!!

[@matthewmoneypit1558]

Ok Scott no more Nirvana for one day. Between you and Michael I might need to check into rehab cause i am addicted!

[@SourMlkSea]

Really hope this place is preserved and not torn down. Its rock and roll history. Its a historical site that should be kept. Awesome job.

[@quinny6920]

Scott it still blows my mind that that house was left open!!!! How lucky you were AND ALL OF US!!!! Thank you as always Scott

[@anneholden9908]

What fun! And great that you ran into Michael, from Grimm Life Collective! Thank you!

[@matthewmurphy648]

Matthew Murphy I've gotta tell you, this is really neat. Just watching it feels like a time capsule. I've wanted to visit that house for so long and maybe one day, I'll make the trip like you did. Great to see the fans keeping his stories going. Enjoyed the video !

[@mavicone5845]

Double servings of Nirvana, Scott and Micheal … the best … 🤙🏻 loving the collaborative magic

[@Hipsters_N_Hippies]

That fridge is the right vintage. And I would imagine that if someone had replace the appliances they probably wouldn’t have replaced them with something that is 30+ years old. So that fridge very VERY possibly that is the one they all used.

[@danielholloway]

Thanks Scott - you both did such an amazing job. As someone who was 15/16 when Nirvana were around growing up in Wales, seeing this is both fascinating and emotional. Kurt touched so many people through his art/music...very much wish he was still around. I understand the bath in the house was used for the CD disc art for "In Utero" with a model sitting with legs hanging over the side...check your CD copy!! I have discovered both you and Michael through this so thanks. Can't wait to seek out more of your work.

[@Shagley]

When i saw the bookcase and the photo of him standing right in front of it, i almost felt like i was intruding on his life. Crazy how 30 years later it’s all still there

[@genkinks]

Love this so much 🥺 Missing the baby ghoul theatrics but still wonderful none the less. Great collab!

[@JoshJoel800]

Great video man and your co host is awesome. That interview at the beginning ( The last time Much Music interviewed Kurt) is one of my favourites to watch. I've watched it multiple times over the years. Keep up the great work Scott. ✌🤘

[@janadeubner9883]

First of all those 183 steps had me winded! Then you guys walk around on that unsafe looking walkway. I was expecting you to fall down on the broken cement but the inside was amazing although run down it was still so open and airy feeling. A perfect place for a creative mind. Loving seeing you and Michael together so much fun!

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

This is such a rad collabo...love grimm life😎 and then cobain in the mix makes this really special

[@Zahnclassof95]

i was getting ready to graduate highschool when Kurt passed away .Some people are die hard fans of Elvis an others including myself are die hard Nirvana fans .it is sad to see the house gone ,but it would of cost more money to get it shape than just building a new house thank you Scott an Michael

[@tararockrevivalbebe6427]

Wow no way you got inside! That would be so neat to stand in the exact spot he lived in! Nice video! 😊

[@johngammon963]

Scott's vid about Kurts life in Seattle is HIGHLY recommended. I've read and watched a lot of stuff about Nirvana and Scotts work is some of the best i've ever seen.

[@davidbeilstein3977]

You guys know this was the location for the movie THE LONG GOODBYE, 1973. Detective Philip Marlowe takes this elevator tower to the top of his apartment. Way cool, guys. Good work!

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Yes I believe I mentioned that when I was beside the house. Thank you for watching!

[@anthonymartinez2982]

At 8:12 when Scotty pans around the house there is a silhouette that looks like there could be someone sitting down in That room, crazy and spooky

That was one fast 25 min. long video!! As others have mentioned, it just seems tragic that this piece of Nirvana/music history has been left abandoned like this. What a treat to see it and I'm really happy for you, Scott. "What else should I write?" Oh, Kurdt....there was so much more! *sigh*

[@elizabethsulliman]

I can't believe what some people did to the house with the graffiti... ugh!! I don't think a true fan would do that. But I can't believe you're there....it's like you feel his presence and can imagine him just being himself there. I'd like to find out the story behind the arichitecure and builder and original owner. It would be a great story. Wish I had the money to buy it too. It's just a bit over my budget by a million dollars...!!

[@eitherorr8344]

I have seen this place on a few channels and I fell in love with it immediately. So love Nirvana too. I always thought that if I had one of those stupid big lottery wins I would buy the place and sensitively restore it. I play guitar. I live for it! To hear myself playing All Apologies in that wonderful big room would be something. In the sun I feel as one much love x

[@ssmb06]
