Kurt definitely talked a lot in interviews about having a mysterious stomach ailment which would cause him severe pain and vomiting, and claimed he turned to heroin as a way to “self medicate” after doctors supposedly weren’t able to diagnose or treat it. But I haven’t seen or read any interviews with any doctors who actually saw Kurt, and certainly his private medical records are not publicly available, so it really does appear to be an open question as to what this mysterious condition actually was, or what was actually causing it, or whether it even existed at all. Krist has mentioned that Kurt had a terrible diet of junk food, ice cream, pizza, etc, and that he smoked like a chimney, all of which are things that gastroenterologists would say can exacerbate various digestive issues, for example. Buzz Osborne from the Melvins has claimed that Kurt told him that he made the whole thing up for sympathy, but who really knows for sure. At the very least, it’s not uncommon for drug addicts to offer a self-serving excuse or justification for their drug abuse, so there’s that to consider, as well.

I never knew Kurt and I don't know any details about the circumstances of his life and death so I'm not going to comment about him or those. I do know that he wrote some songs that stopped me in my tracks when I first heard them. Songs which changed popular culture at the time and which have influenced many people over the years. For that he deserves recognition and admiration.

I wish he was still alive. even tho I want around when he was alive, I still love him! He is awesome!!

If it wasn't for Kurt. I would of never picked up the guitar and been a rock star. I'll never forget seeing him swinging for m the chandelier in come as you are and saying that it that's what I want. And I enjoyed every moment of it growing up. Thanks Kurt Krist and Dave. Always you fan.

I can't express how unbelievably amazing In Utereo is. Especially if you tweak the track listing and get the original mixes of the two singles in there... I mean it's shocking how good and how different and raw that album is. It shows Kurt's journey as a songwriter and its tight as hell. I absolutely LOVE Bleach too. Its so often forgotten about or dismissed. Put that and Incesticide on together and that's a DAMN good picture of where he came from. Yeah Nevermind is spectacular...but Butch Vig polished it a bit too much... However I think without that album... There wouldn't have been such a pivot and we wouldn't have gotten In Utereo.... When I listen to 'You Know You're Right' for the first time I was choking up. What could have been. Rest easy Kurt.

Kurt’s death was like lightning the becons of Gondor to the downfall of society. The 90’s was humanity at its peak.

[@nebula1924]

One of my favorite things about Kurt was how he singlehandedly retired the hair-metal bands from the mid-late 80s. As much as I liked and respected evh, he spawned a huge number of evh wannabes and the songs often were crap with a blistering fast gtr solo. I loved how Kurt played his own brand of solos that weren't flashy and were perfect for the songs, not standing on their own.

No he didn't, that's actually a myth. Grunge did not kill hair metal, it was already on life support way before 1991. That sort of bloat where no one actually cares about the music, cannot sustain itself.

[@brycedavenport9219]

Ted Nugent has maybe 3 good songs, and has never contributed anything to a conversation regarding musicianship except the same old right wing talking points and being an asshole. Him and Gene Simmons have said similar things about Prince as well. When Ted Nugent dies I’ll enjoy throwing a party and making fun of him. To bring the mans child into this, shameful. Ted Nugent will be lucky to be an afterthought to some hicks in twenty years. Kurts influence will continue to influence people across generations, forever.

I was young when Nirvana had it's day and wasn't too into their music, but now I am and can appreciate how wise Cobain was. I can also identify with the depression that accompanies drug use, since I have a disability as a result of drinking & driving. Also, Dave Grohl worked for my uncle at Tower Records in Washington DC. On Conan he talks about doing an in store at Tower in Manhattan that the same uncle was managing at the time.
