I do think that Kurt was plagued by a feeling that nobody understood him or got him. I think he saw himself as an ineffective communicator and there was so much he wanted to express and so he relied on his music to be heard. You can imagine how he felt when the jocks and rednecks thought they understood him. He was continually frustrated and felt so alone a lot in this world.❤

I know you probably get this a lot, but your videos are very well edited, as well as informative, you manage to keep the balance between being too boring and being to loud, you have established the perfect medium for music lovers looking for a bit of insight on their semi niche topics. either way I'm all here for it. keep up the great work!

Nirvana is probably one of the best examples of hard work pays off. They literally started off so broke that they were having trouble paying off bills. And yes, hard to believe that the world’s largest grunge band started off with no money. Now if I were them, I wouldn’t believe in myself and I would probably just give up on trying to make it big. But Nirvana (specifically Kurt and Krist) didn’t think or do that. They kept working and working and going to shows and preforming. Kurt was literally singing and playing the guitar while dealing with stomach pains. And after 3 hard years of work, they did it. They had become the #1 grunge band in the world. They went from selling thousands of records to selling millions. They went from preforming in front of a few hundred people or a thousand people to preforming in front of tens of thousands of people. They had become the biggest band of the early 90s. And that is a good example of why hard work pays off.

The lyrics thing isn't true. He wrote lyrics and poetry in a notebook and all the songs had lyrics when they were practicing them. New songs he would change the lyrics until he was happy with them and when he went in the studio he would have to settle on what they should be. Dave said he saw him scribbling lyric ideas at the last minute on the way to the studio and everyone took this to mean he didn't care about lyrics and threw them together at the end. But he was just taking what he already had from his notebook and finalizing them. He also went to the library and studied poetry. So the, "he didn't care about lyrics" myth really sucks. He also liked teen spirit despite what the internet generation think.

Hey whatever works..looks like it worked for him. His lyrics can all be pared down to get what he was addressing and how he felt about it..although his screaming indicated the depth of that pain, while the lyric lines were the back story.

I was thinking about it & I realized that Nirvana was touring Bleach in Europe right when the Berlin Wall fell. In fact, they started the German leg of the tour two days before it fell. Not that they were some huge stadium act at the time, but I think that the excitement of the era definitely contributed to their success, because they were an American punk band. I think they were actually bigger in Europe first before Nevermind was released, you can kinda see this vibe in 1991: The Year Punk Broke.

I've never bought the idea that he didn't put much thought into the lyrics. With the number of rewrites he did it's clear he put a lot of thought into them. I've always thought he was just distancing himself from how truly personal a lot of them are.

@joleneloveland4602

4 ай бұрын

Indeed. I think he resented people trying to "figure him out" as if that could be done from a few lines he wrote. So I think he very much tried to simplify his songs by making his situations more universal than personal. But because of his raw emotional vocals you could tell the words meant a lot to him. So as not to encourage speculation, in interviews he would down play them. I think the last thing he wanted was anybody feeling sorry for him.❤

I have the flu but I saw nirvana/ MarcbutEvil I clicked on it and I already feel better. Thanks marc. It is incredible how well detailed the story is, you are a great storyteller with a particular sense of humor. I really enjoyed these videos about nirvana.

This is the first of your videos that I've ever seen, and it absolutely shreds the lazy video essays I have so far seen here about music from my formative era during the alt/grunge renaissance. It's really satisfying to consume a video made by someone whose personal investment in the topic is unmistakable and whose research goes deeper than Wikipedia and Rolling Stone. So I've got to say thanks, man - my radio heroes as a kid were Kurt, Layne, Scott, Chris, and Eddie... and Eddie's the only one that life, the industry, or a combination of both didn't break in the end. I miss them all, and getting to see Kurt's stories done right in this format has been a treat.

I am a founding member of the Nirvana fan club on prodigy message boards. Pre nevermind days were rough as the internet was basically people dialing up to prodigy or AOL to write a message on a public forum that might never even be seen by anyone. I was 12 years old and it was a really fun time!

It's so refreshing to find someone who makes informative but entertaining videos about Nirvana! I never heard about the nervous breakdown and also the breakup with that girl and what made him push to drugs... Thank you.

The care and consideration that went into this video is very apparent. You've ballenced the line of funny and informative increadibly and your voice! Silky smooth! Please make more videos! (And maybe about other Seattle groups)

Nirvana left their mark on an entire generation. Some fans said that he hated “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. According to them Kurt wasn't the most excited about playing it live. It is said that in many shows he avoided doing so and if he did, he made an intentional mistake.

Personally I've always preferred Bleach to Nevermind Also Jason Everman became a Green Beret and went to Columbia so I think he wound up doing OK Also also Kurt probably had Celiac before people knew what it was

Back when Nirvana was punk!

It is hard to get those opportunities nowadays in music industry.

​@@paulwblair an easy example is in regards to Nirvana's final recording session. the information was easily accessible to him given how much access he had to courtney when he was writing the book. instead he peddled BS like the following: * You Know You're Right had lyrics like "walking in the piss" when this was in Courtney's version. * Kurt played drums on Marigold (the entire song was recorded by Dave and Dave only) * Kurt screams "Pain" in You Know You're Right when listening to the acapella he clearly just screams "hey" * He attributes "Skid Marks" and "Butterfly" to Kurt when these were both written by Dave and were recorded without Kurt around (the second song is actually Butterflies and is a popular unreleased Foo Fighters song) Bonus: He claims Courtney "co-wrote" Pennyroyal Tea when the first recording is of Kurt and Dave recording it in 1990 in their apartment. The book is a piece of garbage full of inaccurate information. Before you give me the "oh, how could he have known," there are other folks like Gillian Gaar who had less access than he did and put in the time and research and got paid less to actually obtain the facts. If you need more proof of the worthlessness of the book, happy to keep going. Thanks.

I was 16 living in an isolated little town in NZ when Nirvana broke.They changed my life. Nirvana's sound was always soaked to the gills in opiates.

Some heads up about Jason Everman, after getting tye boot from Nirvana he later played with Pearl jam for a while then did a complete 180 n became aNavy Seal n served in Afghanistan n Iraq so basically he went from being a "Poser" to one hardcore warrior.
