Krist Novoselic Gets Brutally Honest About Kurt Cobain

In this video former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic opens up on how he really feels about what ended up happening to his friend Kurt Cobain. I talk about how Kurt & Krist met and how their friendship begun going way back to their high school days. Krist also mentions Foo Fighters & if Nirvana would still be around today. I commentate and give my opinion on what 'could have been' for example a possible Cobain solo album.

[@juzujuzu4555]

@@vincentvancraig Instead of focusing on what people say, how about focusing on what the science says. The amount of heroin in kurt was about 300% higher than the highest recorded amount anyone has survived. He would have been unconscious before even getting the needle out. Yet all of the equipment were absolutely cleaned and put pack in the box. Then he would have had to take the shotgun, instead of sitting on the stool that was there, he went on the floor to lay down (like perhaps he was unconscious at that time and faking the stool shooting was impossible) and then shot himself. But the shell had flown to opposite direction of where it should have, even though there was nothing there to ricochet it, except there was another dude who pulled the trigger. Kurt's case cannot be more clear murder unless there are lots of witnesses with cameras. The dude had divorce papers ready, only missing his signatures, but he would kill himself and leave everything to the woman who he hate? The "suicide note" has two different writers. Courtney had a paper filled with her training to write as Kurt, she was so in drugs that she left the backpack to her lawyer who found the paper. And that style matches with the suicide note. There are people who can be brainwashed to think whatever the establishment wants just by declaring something as conspiracy theory. when in fact most of the so called theorists are looking things from the perspective of physics, math, hard sciences and logic. Then media pushes the insane narratives like Qanon and flat earth and the common folk is now brainwashed. It's the oldest for of information warfare and it seems to work with the normies no matter how long it's been used. Realize this, and actually thoroughly look into the evidence before spouting shit, or just ignore the whole topic if you are not interested. AmericanSpyFox KZbin channel's Nirvana series has all the evidence. It also has the interview of Dr.Cyril Wecht who is the most experienced and most renounced criminal pathologists who already was big enough to be handled the JFK case, and most of the big cases since. He has done 21000 autopsies, supervised 41000 and he says there's no case where someone has taken a ton of heroin and then shot himself. And also the fact about the heroin level. You couldn't have more clear motive on top of that, and there's tons of direct evidence against the person who has all the motive in the world to end Cobain. Maybe also after realizing that case you should open up and look into the most important "conspiracy theories" as most of them can be 100% proven by physics alone, and there's usually enough other types of evidence too for those without great skills in physics.

[@juzujuzu4555]

@@laura-qh9xp Check my answer to Vincentcancraig, Courtney wasn't the one who shot Cobain up after he was out, both with heroin and shotgun, but she was 100% behind those acts. There is so much proof that when you see it, you cannot believe that it wasn't investigated and Courtney wasn't arrested.

Man I think kurt really did kill himself. I think he booted up enough to end his life and when he was feeling at bliss from the heroine he shot himself. The weird stuff like all the needles and drug paraphernalia put back in the box was probably the cops first on scene. I think they just screwed up and put all the stuff in the box before taking pictures. Love canceled the credit card because she hadn't heard from kurt. Kurt was known to give his credit card to people so they could get his drugs so kurt didnt have to leave the house to get his supplies of drugs. I could be wrong but I think the private investigator just wanted a bit of fame. In reality we all will never know the truth. He was going thru allot of fame, drug use, anxiety, and stomach problems. He was in pain. I think he had ibs or celiac disease and all that stuff combined especially in a drug state of mind was enough for him. He was a very humble person from what I read. I dont think he enjoyed the fame really. Well what came with the fame. You could see allot of his anxiety somtimes in clips. The only thing I want to know is if his friend who bought him the shotgun for him was with him at the gun shop. That's an un answered question I can't find anywhere. I still have my doubts about his suicide. I do think courtney knew he was dead before hand and wanted media attention. But if she did it or not. Who knows

But in hindsight, I do remember Kurt looking more relaxed and happy than I ever saw him in the years after they hit it big. I think success really messed with his head. Some people find it difficult to deal with success, especially when it involves stardom -- all the changes and expectations and demands and the constant spotlight. I'm not saying it's what led to his death but I think it made it a lot harder for him to deal with the depression and drugs and everything else he was struggling with.

Kurt and Courtney had a co-dependent relationship. She was the enabler and he was the victim. No different to any other co-dependent relationships I am sure we have all seen at some point in our lives. Maybe we ourselves have been stuck in one, or loved ones we have seen as we watch on in horror. It's pretty clear that the victim either gets the hell out of dodge or suffers an horrendous outcome. Throughout the years Courtney Love has tried her hardest to appear reformed and healed, but her highly narcissistic personality type just cannot help itself. It rears up and enters into the fray even many moons after the dust of her former chaos has settled.

It's never fair to ask someone who lost a dear friend or loved one to suicide whether or not they could have been saved, because they will go on the rest of their lives wondering what they could have done, and the fact is, it's a moot point. In most cases, no, there's nothing anyone could've done. And it's not the fault of anyone that it happened. But they have to go on living with a heaping pile of survivor's guilt, anyway. Suicide is tragic, whether you're a rock star, loved the world over, or someone unknown with few friends and no family to mourn you. That things can make you so miserable that you see no way to change your circumstances but to bring your life to an end is an unbearable reality to face.

[@Crow-WatchingHermit]

@@mikejones-vd3fg The way I see it, there's no reason to lay blame. We've been doing it since the dawn of time, and it has yet to end suicides. We certainly are all connected, but we're all experiencing life in individual ways, and no matter what our circumstances, we're all just human beings, struggling through existence. We're all bound to respond to the human experience in infinite different ways, and some people will endure pain that, for whatever reason, they don't believe they can overcome. I'm not interested in whose fault it is that they choose to exit rather than soldier on. It's their life. You and I don't have to justify our choice to continue living, and those who end their lives don't have to justify their choice, either. All we can do is try to ease the suffering of other people every time we're faced with an opportunity to do so. It won't make the choice for the people we encounter, but maybe it might give them one more reason to stick around and see what the world has to offer that they haven't seen yet.

As a Seattle/Olympia Puget Sound kid about the same age as Kurt and well into the indy rock scene back then I can say honestly two things: 1) Drug addiction and getting involved with enablers sucks, and 2) Kurts death probably sold the majority of Nirvana records and elevated them to legendary status. Also, Dave (nicest guy in rock and roll ever) owes a lot of his superstar success to Kurt, although respectfully he doesn't do his songs.

Interesting take re: Nirvana's record sales and their legendary status. I was an AM radio kid, then an FM radio/MTV kid, rock and pop music fan since the age of four, born three years after Kurt. I'm fascinated by all things rock but detested "Teen Spirit" the moment I heard it thirty-two years ago and never warmed to it or much else by Nirvana as the decades progressed. Taste in music though is personal and not a big deal. Interesting to read another's thoughts on Grohl's enduring legacy, Nirvana's tremendous album sales and their legendary status over the decades.

My ex always tried to make the point that suicide is the ultimate autonomous decision that one can make and no one can take that right away from them. While I can understand that viewpoint, suicide solves nothing. I’d imagine that at least 85-100% of the time someone decides and actually commits suicide I guarantee they’re not in a centered frame of mind. I guess all I’m trying to say is if you’re suicidal and you feel like you’re ready, try to stop or at least postpone and give some though to the possibility that the power to turn things around is in your hands and there are people who can help you get back on track. The world is shit, people are shit, but it’s all the beautiful moments in between that make sticking around worth it. Don’t just give up y’all. We’re all in this shit together.

10 years battling heroin addiction here. When your deep in it, and I feel like every user gets like this at some point or another, you start to contemplate suicide, because you just can't see a pathway to recovery. I've been in and out of detoxes and sober living and the sort for years now and I always seem to just fall back into it. Its like I have a hole in my soul that only heroin can fill. If you don't use it's hard to explain, but it's a hell of an addiction. When I think about Cobain, and his choice to commit suicide, I don't think he made a stupid choice, I feel like some people just can't escape it and maybe death truly is a better alternative. Again, if you haven't been through it, don't act like you can even begin to comprehend the nightmares and struggles of using. Who am I to judge? Who am I to say?

I think that both Krist and Dave have really made a collective, concerted effort to respect and honor Kurt’s memory by resisting the prodding and urges to say negative things about him, and by avoiding as much as possible things like gossip and trash talking. I think that they deliberately self-censor some of the harsher or more critical thoughts and feelings that they might have about Kurt in an effort to remain positive and focus on the good things that Kurt brought into this world, as well as their own lives. That’s the feeling that I get from both of them.

@@Tom_Van_Zandt Yea,life is pretty tough being a Bengals fan. I have been a fan of the Bengals my entire life. I started following them in 1989 when Boomer Esiason was their quarterback,Icky Woods and James Brooks was their tailbacks and Tim Mcgee was their best receiver. They had probably the best offensive line in the NFL that season. Guys like Anthony Munoz,Max Montoya and Dave Lapham. They also had a great coach in Sam Wyche, but they just couldn't stop Joe Montana and Jerry Rice on the last 49ers drive of the game. I thought Marvin Lewis did an excellent job drafting and developing players under the ownership that he had in Cincinnati. With Mike Brown being very conservative with money in free agency Marvin Lewis was still able to put solid rosters together that made the playoffs several times but never won a playoff game as well. Their best chance was 2005 when Carson Palmer led that team to a 11-5 record and scored more points than any team in the league that season. It was just bad luck that he blew out his knee against the Steelers in that 2005 playoff game. That 2005 team was the best team the Bengals had since their super bowl appearance in 1989. I think they have a great QB right now in Joe Burrow along with Joe Mixon in the backfield. They just need a better offensive line to protect the quarterback and also open up running lanes for Joe Mixon. They hired a new head coach,(Zac Taylor) who hasn't done a very good job drafting and developing players,so I look for this team to finish last in the AFC North again this season. I just don't think Zac Taylor has the credentials or experience to lead this Bengals team to a playoff appearance or win. They have some pieces to build around,but ownership needs to spend the money and hire an experienced head coach with playoff success.

He said he exists in the "plane" between Earth and "heaven" a kind of gray place and has not found his way to "the light".

But one thing about living with suicidal thoughts for decades is that you get used to the idea of dying. So, when cancer came for me, I was able to accept the diagnosis and I’m helping my family to deal with it. Still fighting, but it has become apparent over the last few weeks that the fight will end sometime in 2024. I hope to face it with grace, and I look forward to the peace that will follow.

Clinical depression runs pretty strongly in families. Cobain had two uncles who also shot themselves. Sad to say, but it seems all but inevitable something like what happened would happen.

It would have been awesome to see what would’ve come from Kurt and Dave collaborating more on songwriting. There was obvious potential there and it seemed like it may have started going in that direction with songs like Marigold and Kurt’s appreciation for Alone + Easy Target.

He's not being "brutally honest", the part in which he added that Kurt wasn't in his right mind after the Rome incident because he didn't suceed in killing himself was just standard honest, the "he should never have done that" is based on that, is a predictable detail, even though he always was a suicidal person, it's cristal clear that Krist keeps a lot for himself and that's understandable being literally his personal life, obviosly the fans would love to know the details of the dark situation anyway hah.

I would hate to make some coffee and forget about my bambino; she is the one who holds me, endearing me greatly and beautifully. I would never betray her, man. Although it seems like Cobain put drugs over Bean, I don't think it's possible for this to happen.

@Walton Simons dont forget the guy has bipolar as well. Its really damn difficult!! Pay attention to what Krist said about Kurt being really weird after the Rome incident.

[@sheilabanks5571]

Addiction is a hell of a drug...How awful to be there.. no thank you..

[@RetroEternal]

As someone who lives with severe chronic pain, I at least see Kurt’s reasoning. Waking up day after day after day, no escape from the agonizing cycle of pain and sorrow. It really takes a toll on you mentally, and mix that with a brutal heroin addiction and you have a recipe for disaster. Or in Kurt’s case - suicide.

[@fsca72]

[@benmccluney-ez2ee]

I like Scott Weiland's wife's reaction to her husband's death. She was so tired of the outpouring of tributes and respect for him, because in reality he chose drugs, sex and rock'n'roll over a wife and kids. I've been a drug addict and nearly died several times. It's terribly selfish, and Kurt is no exception. Altogether sad.

[@floydsemlow8253]

Well said❤

[@Mars-]

The people closest to Kurt in his last year all seem to say Kurt was suicidal in those days. Seems the whole Courtney murder theory /conspiracy is not supported by anyone who was really close to Kurt in that last year of his life. Anything is possible but one must factor in the likelihood of events. The likelihood for murder is much lower than suicide. I've watched countless interviews, documentaries ,etc from each side . Here we have yet another testimony of someone close to him who says it was suicide. A heart broken best friend who spent his last years and months with him. Suicide appears to be the unfortunate reality. ⭐

[@Ludeguy83]

I agree with you, but at the same time i don't... something definitely went wrong... i've watched a video that was on youtube, it was a friend that was documenting his friend's heroin use and abuse, this guy was a 15 year heroin abuser and had collapsed veins everywhere, the inly place he could shoot up was in his grown... the guy shoot's up stand up but bent over with his pants down in order to shoot up, and he couldn't even finish injecting himself before he nodded off (passed out) stand up, bent over... needle was still in his groin... and the worst us that it was half of what kurt had in his blood stream. I just find it very hard to believe he injected himself with that much heroin, put the needle away nicely in his heroin kit and proceeded to pick up a shotgun and pull the trigger! It's not impossible, but raises the question if he did that act! Sorry so long! Cheers

[@mirijamschon5609]

@HARD TALK RADIO i get it, youre supposed to support and help your best friend, no matter what. But you cant force a grown man, whos 27 years old, to go to therapy or rehab or whatever. Sure, they could've convinced him to go there, but if he refused, theres nothing they could do.. He probably had lost hope in everything, after 6 times trying therapy. They couldnt control everything he did. At the end of the day, he was a rich person and could get drugs from literally anywhere. And its sad. If he wasnt so famous hed still be alive

[@mangomight7938]

The likelihood that he was murdered is pretty high. Because he had a very high heroin blood level when he died.

[@jesselloyd882]

I’ve watched and listened to probably 10 or more hours of documentaries and footage. That being said, everyone that was close to him said that he WASNT suicidal. Only Courtney kept pushing that into media. Besides all that he had a 3 times over lethal dose of heroin in his body. He wouldn’t have been able to even sit up with the gun in position. He was either already dead from the heroin or unconscious before someone else put the gun in the position and pulled the trigger to make the scene look like a suicide. It has even been proven that Seattle police botched the whole investigation and looking back on it the former chief admitted that if he were still chief he would reopen the case because he believes there was foul play involved.

In another interview with Kurt Cobain, he mentions that he was interested in rendering an album of the typical guitar sounds, but with a more electronic feel to it. It's just not fair what happened to him; if he took his life or something more sinister, this shouldn't have been a result of death. No matter what, Cobain will always live brightly inside the hearts of so many people. We miss him, but we're not gonna crack.

How could anyone who was as interment with Kurt as Krist ever explain how he felt after something SO painful and personal as the sudden death of his close friend, especially when the entire world is watching?! I think what he said covered it.. “ he just shouldn’t have done that.” Nirvana( for me) was a band that smacked me upside the head as a teen that didn’t know my place in the world and was subconsciously searching for a place to belong. Like many outsiders who didn’t fit the stereotypical mold of “ normality,” I found comfort in and solace in music, art and defiance! When I saw smells like teen spirit on MTV, I paid attention to this band reeking chaos in their schools gym! From then, the flood gates opened! At 16 I got to see Nirvana play one of their last ever shows in Boise Idaho in December of 1993… I haven’t the words to express what that night did for my soul! I felt as though belonged to something massive and special! Sadly four months later Kurt left this world and that sadness ( no mater who you were, what music you saluted) was a hard gut punch and was felt by -everyone! There was such a feeling of loss from me and my peers. “ what now?” Magic movements like that happen very seldom and I will forever be great full that I got to, at least have a peak, at something that REALLY touched my heart and soul! Thank you sincerely to all the remaining members of Nirvana for never quitting and to keep rockin!!!❤😃👍
