The Final Days Of Kurt Cobain - Inside His Motel Room & Visiting Last House / Nirvana Seattle Tour

[@mon236]

I saw Kurt and Courtney at Disneyland outside of Pirates when I was a sophomore in high school so 1992? - it was nighttime and they were buying popcorn. He had bright pink hair and was maybe my height (I’m 5’4”). I remember my friends and I got his autograph and no one really knew Courtney at the time because she stood off to the side while we all had Kurt sign our Disneyland guide maps.

[@jebstuart4004]

Great. A normal guy.

[@corpsed0llz]

luckyyyy

[@lynnloww]

@damselcausingdistress81no sounds about right. Kurt was about 5’7 and he hunched a lot when walking. Around this time he had the reddish/pink hair and they were living in LA. Courtney wasn’t that well known then, she was a little bit bc she was into the scene but it wasn’t till whenHole released 1994 Live Through This on the week of Kurt’s death when she got the notoriety she rly craved.

[@Tornado1994]

@damselcausingdistress81 She wasn't well known before 1991.

[@Blackkitty32]

Im actually very surprised that she stood aside to let him sign autographs. From what ive read im even surprised to hear that he was out in public in 1992, seeing that he took an instant dislike to been recognised overnight due to the phenomenal success of Nevermind. Doesnt sound like their usual characters at all, but then everyone has their good/bad days.

As a 40 year old, I can honestly say it’s very difficult to comprehend how huge Nirvana was and only on the national stage for roughly 4 years. Such a lasting impact and how weird is it that the genre died shortly after Kurt. Some say it was never meant to last anyway, but his passing definitely sped up the process. Great vlog Adam. Take care

[@jebstuart4004]

It was huge because he was the friend, the boy friend, the brother everybody dream to have. He was charismatic, not like those movie stars but like the cool genious guy you meet at school. That's all.

@jebstuart4004 you're way the hell off...but o.k. I am frm Seattle, in my early twenties when our grunge music went mainstream, and had been going to see what then was called Fecal Matter...then going to Nirvana. They always would play with Screaming trees...which are formed and became big around the same time....their from my hometown. You must be pretty young and really dont know because you weren't there, to know. He was sarcastic as hell and didn't like to be bothered. And you never see him standing and signing autographs. Now you know the truth.

I just went there today. The roads are small, very curvy and sharp turns, but lots of nice willow trees and you can walk down to the lake. You can see the top of the house but that's about it. Can't say I blame the new owners. I went to the benches. There's lots of tributes, beer cans, notes and garbage on them. The second bench says 'Layne Staley's Bench", which I really liked. Layne died eight years after Kurt did. The neighborhood seems to be very peaceful and quiet. I only stayed for about ten minutes though.

[@alb5338]

Thanks for the video, Adam. Last fall, I took my Mom to Kurt's childhood home in Aberdeen and the memorial (with it just a couple hours from where I live), and it was really eye-opening for both of us to contextualize where his music's sound was inspired by. The neighborhood had cracks in the street and the sky was gray, but the house's new owners renovated the front porch, took out the shrubs and the Daily World mailbox, and repainted the house itself. They even placed a polite "do not disturb" sign posted out front near the front door. Using Columbo-like research skills, I was able to show my Mom where Kurt's room was, where he stood on the front porch with his sister in that one famous photo, and even where the shrubs were originally located. We met people from all over the country at the memorial and even chatted with a group all the way from Louisianna on a pilgrimage. It was so quiet there, you can hear a pin drop next to the Wishka River Bridge where "Something In The Way" was inspired by. It was a really surreal experience for sure.

I remember at the original location, going into the front doors and down to the right a flight of stairs to the basement of the music store (originally was a church building) and tinkered with the keyboard synthesizers and audio gear.

[@synchronicity1470]

@cbl4012 I am so sorry for you. You are psychologically injured from complicated grief. You suffered two major losses in a short period of time and have never healed from it. I would say to try to find help for your unresolved grief. I can't say it will work, as it didn't with mine. But you have a wife and a child. After my last death, my 26 yr son's S, I broke. But by then I'd already had my dad (i was 13), mom, brother and furbaby die (all w/i 6 mths time), so...... I was left completely alone. The pain is too huge and I can't get past it all. I understand feeling dead inside, Sometimes our hearts close down when someone we love is lost forever. It is our protection, our way of saying, "My heart will NOT be broken like this again, as I will never allow my heart to explode with love like this for anyone ever again. This way I can't be hurt again, as it feels unsurvivable. Maybe if you allow your wife and kids to love you and warm up your heart, it will thaw. Good luck. If you don't see this, I hope someone else will benefit. 💓

[@krisfrederick5001]

The irony is endless to me, how so many people travel to Aberdeen and they exploit him to make money, while Kurt absolutely hated it and wanted nothing more than to leave. He was my inspiration to pick up a guitar as a kid, literally learned just by ear and watching his hands. Also a role model after my parents divorced. I wonder if Kurt ever truly felt at home again after his parents split. I don't think I could handle actually being in these places, it might be too overwhelming. That being said, I believe the first house you showed is where we get the footage of Kurt on the balcony from a movie I won't mention, it never added up with the Lake Washington house. I also don't think he was at the Cactus, although the dessert first thing is common for heroin addicts. He was known to have been at the park with Francis according to a neighbor and seemed very happy. The last credible sighting was in fact at Linda's Tavern by Charles Peterson who Kurt gave his new number to...and I appreciate your terminology of Kurt's passing.

Kurt never wanted to be anyone's hero. He didn't want anyone to look up to him or worship him. He just wanted to play music with his friends. Unfortunately that's exactly what ended up happening. Kurt was a troubled genius who could not enjoy fame or the loss of privacy. He attempted to end his life multiple times to escape it. Some people idolize Kurt and cannot accept that. The hero rebel musician that they created in their own head would never end his own life that way. As a result those people will embrace any conspiracy theory. Kurt was a real person who suffered and made his choice. Nobody murdered him. Nobody needed to.

I would put my money on Courtney Love had him killed because she is nuts!!

[@livefastdiequick]

Did he tell you that or did you just make fanfic of a guy that you had no relation to?

[@michaelamburgey3043]

@Live Fast Die Quick I find it amusing how people like you always have something to say about other people's opinions like your the internet police. So my hats off to you captain keyboard warrior. You can move out of your moms basement anytime now so that poor woman can enjoy life without having to make you hot pockets.

[@livefastdiequick]

@@michaelamburgey3043 are you also writing fanfic on who I am as a person?

[@adenomally]

kurt wasn’t a troubled genius. he was a normal guy who was thrown into the mainstream media. he also wasn’t a genius, he was talented, as well as he was strategic. his calculated comments and releases put him into the mainstream, but he was by no means a genius. he was troubled, but he was a normal human being with thoughts and emotions.

At the MOPOP Museum there is a theater that plays nirvana on mtv but the sound is incredible. Like you are there. I love Seattle

[@jeanpaulalart359]

Very cool episode with a very Seattlesque atmosphere & weather. I’m a Pearl Jam and Soundgarden fan but also love Nirvana and Alice in Chains. I’ve never been to Seattle but I can feel why their music had that vibe. Thanks for your great work Adam.

I was at the hotel room about a year ago. I thought the owner was a real nice guy, he just handed me the guy at let me explore as long as I wanted. He told me when he bought the place there were signed paper records from the guests in the office, but he searched and didn't find anything from Kurt (said if there was anything, the previous owner probably took it). He also said there were some other motels on the same road where Kurt stayed but they have been demolished.

[@whois3581]

He always used fake names when checking in motels. The guy might have the record, just under a different name and not know it.

[@Tornado1994]

Kurt's Dealer lived in KENT. A Good 25 minutes away from Cobain and Love's Medrona/Broadmore West Seattle Neighorhood.

[@timhiggs9362]

Make sure you see the Nirvana exhibit at the MoPop building next to the space needle! They have artifacts from the band. Awesome video Adam!

[@EphemeralProductions]

about the Lane Staley thing: my mom said she used to work with Mike Starr's mother in the early to mid 90's (bassist of Alice in Chains) Another one that died young. :\

[@Tornado1994]

Mia Zapata of the Gits had a HUGE Crush on Lane Staley. She was CRAZY about him. R.I.P. to the both of them.

[@stevencoffman]

thanks for the video Adam. i always wanted to know where my 9th cousin Kurt Cobain lived in Seattle .i lived in Vancouver wa for 5 years and always wanted to visit the places where he lived . thanks for the awesome video

[@h7opolo]

some of your finest documentation

[@susanboatman7913]

Kurt died too young at 27. He unfortunately joined the 27 year club that includes Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix and Janice Joplin. They all died way too young.

[@bmd72]

Adam you really do some really informative videos! You're simply the best at what you do, thank you!!

[@MrAbehimself]

Especially when he states that grunge paved the way for punk rock

[@lisacraze1]

One little correction for you. The city across Lake Washington that you identified as Seattle is actually Bellevue, on the East side of the lake.

[@motleyfan7558]

Excellent work. This is one of your best pieces. Great great great job Adam

[@jfretless]

Wow. My brother and I did a road trip to Seattle. circa 1994, because we are huge Pearl Jam fans. We also were visiting filming locations for the movie Singles. Crazy, I know. Anyways, when you went to the Marco Polo Motel, it totally kicked me face, as that was the Motel we stayed at when we visited Seattle. Up until this moment, it was just another motel. I dug up a picture of me in front of the motel and sure enough, it's the same motel.

[@sadhu7191]

Then u squint and see kurt high in background asking u for cig

[@RyanGrady]

Great to see you visiting new areas of the country that you haven’t covered much in the past. Head over to Portland and check out the filming locations for the goonies!

[@brookehoskins]

Thanks for sharing this. I saw them in 1993 at the State Fairgrounds in Detroit. So glad I got to see them live.

[@mariafletcher6603]

Even tho Kirk's been dead 30 years. I'm surprised the bench hasn't been treated so it doesn't deteriorate any more. In 10 to 20 years time That bench might not be there any longer and that will be a right shame. from 🇬🇧👍👍 an old cockney gal

[@dukeofhoagies]

Nirvana was definitely the band that got me into playing music. I then moved from that into Slayer/Pantera/Metallica/Megadeth, but I always liked Nirvana right up there with them. The "In Utereo" chick on the album cover is on my tatt list.

[@DeathOfARockStar]

I wish I could have seen Nirvana during their peak. I was 5 when Kurt died and didn't get into them until I was in middle school. You are so lucky to have went! I bet it was surreal. Great video as always!

[@tracymacarthur5699]

Well said musicians sometimes never realise what a profound effect they have in people's lives, I'm a massive LP fan and miss Chester Bennington every day. Their music inspires us in ways some people don't understand

[@angeladude4915]

Thanks for sharing nice to see your sister and brother-in-law again

[@JD_82]

This is awsome! Thanks for showing this in detail

[@MySkinnydip]

I stayed at the Marco Polo a couple of times before I moved up to Seattle from the Oregon coast. I never knew Kurt stayed there! I would order dessert before breakfast sometimes.🤷🏽‍♀️

[@palletwizard]

You came to Washington? I wish I could’ve shaken a hand and made a friend. I lived in Aberdeen for a year. Experienced the street live there and Olympia as well. Tough streets. Glad I have a new life now.

[@ahopefulhollar]

❤Thank you for sharing! I stood there as well in 2017. I left a crochet piece that I made. It was red and black stripes…❤🖤❤ Rip Kurt

[@allenh7835]

Great video ! The documentary that involved the private investigator is what finally turned me against almost all documentaries. 98% are biased and tell a one sided story.

[@selenanguyen4094]

I luv " Where did you sleep last night " song . I would listen hundreds times. I'm so sad , it makes me cry thinking bout him & his life... I can't live in Seattle, it's so depressing weather ... You will be missed & luv forever Kurt 💔

[@reneebarrow4697]

Interesting video. Good to see Faith and Ryan again. Your whole family is great.

[@wayneziegler5929]

Thank you Adam for doing this tour of Kurt! Use to live north of Seattle for 30 years on Whidbey Island. If you want to film a place film Deception Pass Bridge on Whidbey Island!

[@SouthPhilaMilla]

KC & CL moved around alot in the 2 years married 92-94

[@Tornado1994]

Correct. They were in L.A. until Early 1993, Moved to Carnation/Seattle in The Summer of 1993, and finally to Medrona/West Seattle in Early '94.

[@Koubiak]

The fact that he ate dessert first is not that unusual. His heroin addiction had reached its peak and heroin addict tend to develop a sweet tooth as their addiction worsens.

[@jeremyyarbrough6459]

Great video Adam, had goosebumps the whole way through.

[@johnbest1978]

For your question if kurt sat in the park by his house. There was a couple sitings of him sitting in the park looking Ill and wearing a heavy coat which I assume it was his brown corduroy coat that was with him the day he passed away. And those sitings were a couple day's before he passed away. From what I've read and heard. Great video on such a great and wonderful person. Thank you for sharing this great video/vlog and have a great day.

[@jamesmcarthur6945]

You forgot to mention that the last movie he ever saw was The Piano in 1993 in theaters. I wonder if that movie theater still exists.
