It always pains me to see Kurt in 94. Clearly he wasn’t in a good place. Clearly they should have paused “Nirvana” from all duties. So Kurt could have got better mentally and maybe gotten treatment for his drug addiction. I think the pressure made him do more drugs and with personal problems and bad mental health issues isn’t a good combination, it’s a nightmare to say the least.

For sure, there where people in the industry who made huge money off of the band so i can see how they wanted him always on as in performing, recording etc and he needed a break . I think if he took the rest of 94 off after he tour ended in June he would have possibly in a better place . Who knows but it goes to show the industry will strip you to the bone to gain a profit from your talent.

I remember when Nirvana toured Australia in 1992. My brother wanted to buy a cassette from some band, I can't remember who, and as we were about to walk into the legendary Waterfront Records in Sydney CBD, out walked this really tall guy, this other fella that was jumping around and this smaller, quiet guy. My brother turned to me and asked "Do you know who that is?" I replied no, and he said "That's that Nirvana band we're hearing about." I didn't think too much of it at the time, but after I heard Nirvana I took up drums.

This is actually true. In the March 10 1994 version of Rolling Stone they talk about Nirvana being a coheadliner. A few weeks later, on April 4th, Nirvana officially "ended negotiations to be on Lollapalooza 1994" amid reports the band were on the verge of breaking up, due to Kurt's health concerns. There's a few articles from the LA Times on Google from that period that help.

I’ve listened to a few of Kurt’s interviews and he kept saying that Nirvana was nearing a break up, he kept falling out and making up with Dave and Krist but Kurt was saying in these interviews that he might leave the band. I think Kurt should’ve went on hiatus to clear his mind a bit, but the problem was Nirvana was the biggest band on planet Earth at the time and he hated being in the limelight and being told what to do.

It's weird how this year (1994) was a giant turning point of punk rock and how it ended with all the rock music magazines having either Green Day or Kurt's Face on the cover. My friends and i went to Lollapalooza that summer in Houston, and there were kids with T-shirts of R.I.P. w/ Kurt's Face crowdsurfing to Green Day and The Beastie Boys. A lot of people say that was the year grunge died too. Fat Mike said that its because of Nirvana that bands have been able to make a living off of punk rock and live well, i.e. The Offspring, Green Day, Bad Religion, Rancid, Pennywise).

What would he have thought of Radiohead going from Pablo Honey to OK Computer or Kid A? What would Cobain think of Modest Mouse emerging from the Olympia scene to release its first few albums? What would he think of Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot? Of the shift of music in general that decade? He missed out on this neat stuff by a matter of a few years really. Even if he never made another record or quit music entirely, he'd have at least witnessed some cool shit had he stuck around.

Sad how much Kurt changed. I definitely think due to Heroin. He went from young and hungry living for music playing anywhere they could for small sums of money anytime they could. After 1991 it seems he did everything in his power to avoid playing live. There were proposed spring and autumn of 92 tours Kurt vetoed immediately. I'm sure the exhaustion of their schedule in 91 played a small role in it but ultimately it was Kurt's addiction.

I was at that listed Lollapalooza show @ Dominguez Hills/Los Angeles. The absence of Nirvana/Kurt Cobain was the elephant in the room topic/not a topic(if that makes sense). It was felt but not so much discussed. It was a great day despite circumstances. About any “biographies” regarding people in the. entertainment business, especially in popular music or “rock” “punk” “metal”... should be taken with a grain of salt weighing one ton. I work in the entertainment business here in LA. Ive known a few “celebrities.” I sometimes read something about someone in print, and for a second believe what I read. Then, I stop myself and say to myself, “No. They are not like that, nor did that probably not happen.” Even “autobiographies” by artists/musicians are distorted, Ive learned to never believe what i read. Facts are often distorted in the “entertainment business” and the arts for vested interests. A big regret for me was never seeing Nirvana live. I regretted not getting Nirvana tickets for a show at the LA Forum. It was a few months before he died. I remember specifically about passing on the gig thinking I’d just see them later at something like Lollapalooza.

Al Kaholic Yikes. You idiots really believe Courtney murdered Kurt? It’s very hard to fake a convincing suicide. Plus Courtney was a fucking junkie and just had a child with him; what would she gain from killing him? It was always gonna be Kurt’s fate and it’s better he died in his peak. Of course I wish he’d stayed alive for Frances.

@@dids3384 It's easy to fake a suicide, if the police doesn't investigate. And they didn't. They rarely do when drugs are involved. Courtney may be a junkie but a very calculating one with a huge ego and believes she can do everything. The coverup was. poorly executed but the police didn't look. What she gained from it? Are you serious? Kurt had told her that he is divorcing her and they had a prenap. She'd be out of money and no one would've remembered her a year later. There's a lot of evidence, if you research the details.

It was also rumored that they were going to make an appearance at the Woodstock 94 concert that year as well. Greenday was there (on the second stage) so it seemed believable at the time back then. It still was an awesome concert but I was really into Nirvana that summer and it would of made it really special.

I can see how a band starts drifting apart,especially after they've become millionaires!!! Everyone is putting in their all on the debut album, and maybe second, but after you have sold millions of albums and become a millionaire your attitude starts to change. Now you have all that money to enjoy but you can't really enjoy it while making records and touring.

When VS from Pearl Jam came out it upped the ante and sold around 900k in its 1st week. In Utero only sold 180k. So PJ kinda took the reigns and became the bigger band in 93. I think Lollapalooza wouldve been great for Nirvana as far as keeping them in the limelight more instead of Kurt retreating like he did in 92.

- if it was an issue like this one, touring, where they had been heavily over-toured and treated like sheep already since Nevermind, or if it was other incidents like those people called in by C. Love to confront Kurt over his drug use - the bottom line was always the same: Kurt was sick of everybody pushing him and hacking on him - people disregarding they we're touring already to the physical and mental limits - also he was sick of being overcontrolled, literally stalked by C. Love at home as at every step of the way, not being left the space and time to be with himself to even write new stuff (like he was much better of on - with Tracy Marander who understood that he needed his time alone to create his stuff). All those people now hacking on him was his item to be opposition against. The conflict was that he would have listened to his bandmates, on more effort for touring as much as on stepping back from drugs. But doing this would have let him look like giving in to his ''wardens'' C. Love and the ..mob.. from the industry. All those had now money and jobs because of Nirvana and he did want them to leave him space to even make more Nirvana, by being left alone - at home and also without getting sent on tours endlessly to the ruin - to e able to write new stuff and new concept. // Very simple. An almost classic conflict that most people around here might now by it's model. Pressure by ..greedy or dismissive(arrogant) people .. resulting in defiance, which unfortunately is backed up by very sane non-childish reasons ( like in Nirvana's particular case: 'Don't keep over-touring us')// Simple?

Hard to say what he was saying in the video. Could have just been going along with the conversation. Oh he wasn't in a good place mentally. Upside down in every way possible. Management and his record label was all over him. Constantly nagging and reminding him about obligations and I'm sure theres more. Financially he was okay, but nothing else was. I miss that man so much like all of you. R.I.P. KURT COBAIN.

I find it odd how him and Courtney even worked. They liked different stuff, had different ambitions, Courtney was all for the camera more than him although it seemed they always had one on at home anyway. They only had music and drugs in common. According to previous relationships, she was crazy lol I can tell the way she screams in her songs, imagine the screaming battles the pair must've had.

He was a regular 27 year old man like anyone else, but gifted with a drive to make his mark in musical history. Only he knew what that was going to be. He probably wasn't very good at all that other stuff that came with stardom and fame, obviously. That's where management and all the people on his payroll fell short on their obligations. I think Kurt did all he could do in a short period of time. You know the rest...

Interesting, just tonight, a few minutes ago i came across my saved images of that stop on the tour. I forget if when buying my ticket that it was understood headlining was Nirvana. The absence of Nirvana Kurt Cobain that day night wasn’t so much spoken, it was just understood. It was on everyone’s mind. You could just feel it, despite the great music, it was just understood

I loved Nirvana Growing up and its sad that nobody made him get mental help along with his addiction help. He's on one hand saying he doesn't want money and fame but wants to put out a popular album while also taking out around $400 a day in the end for his habit being that's all the ATM would let him draw( according to to book).When you blowing money like that and say you don't care about money it just shows how bad his mental state really was.

There’s a reason there were no contracts actually written up and signed… He didn’t want to do it. There’s a difference in planning to do some thing and actually writing it up and going through with it. When management people are hounding him because he wasn’t going along with what they wanted, that should be the signal that he did not want anything to do with it. It’s not hard to read between the lines.

Kurt fantasized about being a rock star and when it happened he never realized it would end up being another job. A unique way to make a living, but a drudgery nonetheless. His last note mentions how he was punching the timeclock. The previous intervention was all about Gold Mountain's potential revenue losses if Kurt pulled out of Lolla. Even CL was on Gold's side. Horrible guilt and pressure for Kurt.
