I was driving my car when i heard on the radio he had died, i pulled over and unashamedly cried. Kurt was just 2 years older than me. For those not of my X Generation you must understand; Kurt Cobain was the voice of our generation, with all its angst and apathetic mindset. After half a decade of hair bands and fluff his music was stripped emotion with a raw, angry, pulsing heart behind that gravel voice. He was our Elvis. He was our Lennon. He was our Tupac. Part of us died with that shotgun blast in April 1994, and our world forever changed. Now, watching this, maybe you can begin to see why.

I was ALMOST 13 when it happened.. although I'm a gen Y, kurt still sang MY ANGST, PAIN AND FRUSTRATIONS.. you're so right when you say he was THE voice of an entire generation!! Now, older than Kurt was, with 2 teen girls.. they too love MY 90s grunge.. he is still touching lives with that voice! #RipKurtCobain

I was 9, and it broke my heart. My brother had just introduced me to Nirvana when Nevermind released, and I was in love. They're still my favorite band to this day, and I'll always listen to them more than is healthy. I wonder what the music world would be like if Kurt were still alive. Thankfully we've still got Dave and Pat doing Foo Fighters (but that's nowhere near the same), and Krist doing his thing.

The most eerie part I’ve seen is the VH1 Rockumentary on this. Kurt died not long after this recording, but the producer gives a chilling recollection of having to edit it for tv and the UnPlugged album, with Kurt gone, and seeing the pain and torture in his eyes and voice was much more magnified in hindsight. Look it up. They almost didn’t finish the documentary because it was so hard and they weren’t sure if it was the right thing to do but ultimately it gave the best homage and tribute possible, and showed his demons as well as pure talent to those who’d never known
