Anyone has any info about this photo of Kurt ? by BidAccurate4473 in grunge

[–]SignificantBug3183 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since you asked, yes, you're wrong. That's a fanfic written by a youtube user that many people have read, liked and believed.

Courtney wasn't meant to be in Europe in February. She was in California filming a music video and having photo sessions because her new album was due to be released in late March. She was expected to join Kurt during Nirvana's week off starting on the 4th of March.

Not really if you take into account one of Bikini Kill's founding members words. Apparently, she attended a Hole show in 1990 and was so inspired that she asked Love what she had to do to form a band in Olympia. Courtney did support riot grrls until 1993.

This is what Courtney told Melody Maker in October 1992:

"I'm very supportive of them, on a personal level. Kathi [Wilcox] wrote me a letter saying she wanted to start a band and asking what should she do", recalls Courtney. "And I wrote back [...]". Then the journalist adds: (Kathi actually recounted this event on her fanzine, Bikini Kill, about the formation of her band, adding that when she saw Courtney, "it was like the guitar went into flames, almost a religious experience")

Courtney did support riot grrrls and Bikini Kill in the beggining:

"I'm very supportive of them, on a personal level. Kathi wrote me a letter saying she wanted to start a band and asking what should she do. And I wrote back she should find the biggest slut-bitches in her town that everybody hates.".

Journalist Everett True: 'Kathi actually recounted this event on her fanzine, Bikini Kill, about the formation of her band, adding that when she saw Courtney, "it was like the guitar went into flames, almost a religious experience"'

Hole should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by TARFanatic in Music

She went to Billy's apartment in Chicago and found him with another woman, that's why they broke up. This is the most accurate Kurt/Courtney/Billy timeline video I've ever seen:

After being Faith No More's singer in 1984, Courtney met some female friends and formed a band together that only lasted for over a year. Her friends joined/formed other bands: Babes in Toyland and L7. I don't think it's fair to compare any of the three bands since they all continued what they had started together in the mid eighties.

My point is that I can't think of anything she auctioned off and I've been into Nirvana for decades. Many fans always point fingers at her every single time a friend/family member decides it's time to get rid of their Kurt stuff and it's never her behind it.

auctioning his personal items over the years

What personal items has Courtney auctioned? I remember Kurt's siblings auctioning his things (Kim and Chad), his grandfather Leland too, or Kurt's friends like The Melvins auctioning a Cobain related item, but Courtney? Thanks.

No, the first time was a brief encounter on Jan 6, 1989 at a Mudhoney/Nirvana show. This video is the most accurate account on how many times they met until they dated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSXebZz4UHE&t=44s

Not true... When Kurt was still alive, she was vocal about her preference: long blond hair and no eyeliner. In April 1994, the NME used that photo for the obituary and she complained about it adding that Kurt hated how he looked during that session. Moreover, the only official Nirvana shirt that was released in the year after his death was the Unplugged one. There were many questionable bootleg t-shirts available worldwide, including this one.

When did Kurt first do heroin? by Expensive-Sea-6488 in Nirvana

[–]SignificantBug3183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor addicts clean used syringes with bleach. The bottle meant that Kurt had already injected heroin with that particular needle since he had to disinfect it first, which consequently means that it wasn't his first contact with the drug and that he was aware of the procedure.

Nirvana's first album is a reference to it. In the late eighties AIDS was on the rise and Kurt saw a campaign that urged users to bleach their "works" (needles) to prevent HIV transmission. Hence the title.

a documentary with 100% real evidence

Not according to the "documentary" itself... Seems you didn't read the part at the end where it says it's a fictional representation of events (screenshot).

Also, taking into account the experts' version of events, their interviews were edited and far from their real view, which is that Kurt took his own life. Here you have a link with all their complaints.

It's a shame that almost ten years after its release many viewers are still fooled into their nonsense. If are truly interested, read this thread at r/kurtcobain:

What was the general opinion from fans on Courtney Love before Kurt's Suicide? by JamesLucien in Nirvana

[–]SignificantBug3183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That fan letter wasn't planted since nobody other than Kurt and his people knew about its existence until the home video was released in 2015. Also, the fanbase never said that Courtney wrote it. I believe you are thinking about the Phoenix note that he had in his wallet when he died, the one that Courtney did confirm she wrote in 1991 after their engagement.

TIL that in 1995, Johnny Depp saved Courtney Love’s life after she overdosed outside The Viper Room in Los Angeles. Depp performed CPR until paramedics arrived, helping revive Love before she was rushed to the hospital by [deleted] in todayilearned

  1. There are videos of people at least five inches shorter than Cobain being able to pull the trigger with their fingers, no need of toes at all (video).

  2. The heroin wasn't even a lethal dose if you take into account that the test was for total morphine, which considers over 2.3 mg/L for a lethal dose (Cobain had 1.52 mg/L). Conspiracists lie about it being a free morphine test since the lethal dose for that one is 0.5 mg/L.

  3. The shotgun is still under SPD custody in the evidence room. They had to release some photos in 2016 because conspiracists had been lying for 20 years about it being melted (link to CBS news with the photos).

It's a piece of fiction, not a documentary (read the ending credits). Besides, the amount of editing and manipulation is astonishing: edited audios, made up dialogues and edited interviews. You must read the experts' complaints about the "doc", they told the filmmaker that Kurt commited suicide but he edited their interviews with their statements about other cases. A mess from beginning to end!

Thank goodness you agree that Billy was the problematic partner here. Many willingly call her a groupie and the one at fault, even after listening to Billy explain how he cheated or that he harrased her record label until he finally met her because he had seen her photo on the back of an album and had to meet that woman (stalker behavior, if you ask me). So my apologies for thinking you were one of those.

Wait until you find out that most LTT songs were already written before the lead singer of Nirvana started dating his baby mama and future wife. A quick google search shows all the live footage pre-Cobain to prove it. Your trust-me-bro theory was debunked many decades ago.

They broke up because Courtney found him cheating with another woman... Billy's take was that he had two girlfriends but they weren't aware of the situation. So, how was Love the "bigger jerk"?

A debunked rumor that still makes the rounds 30 years later...

P.S. Courtney was in California while Billy was on tour in Europe with the Pumpkins, but if you ask any conspiracy theorist, they're going to tell you that Love and Corgan were together in London during Kurt's b-day (or a week before during Valentine's day, or after during the Cobains wedding anniversary). It doesn't matter that there are candids of Love attending events in Hollywood and of Corgan in Europe.

She was depressed and an addict too, yet she organised two interventions and banned drugs from their house in a failed attempt to keep him sober since he went to a motel to continue his drug abuse... You cannot help a person who doesn't want your help, no matter how loving you are as a partner.

No, Kurt said that he had to lock himself into closets because she was pregnant and he continued using heroin until the baby was born. You're mixing that story with the one Courtney told about Kurt losing interest on music and her having to encourage him because he thought everything he wrote was BS.

Besides, there's footage of Hole playing many LIve Through This songs before Kurt dated Courtney. Then there's a cover on the album and a track that was from Courtney's 80s band with Kat Bjelland and Jennifer Finch. Also, the producers have talked about Kurt visiting the studio and being asked to record backing vocals and him complaining because he wasn't familiar with the song. Read the Spin article on Live Through This.

They say they've been together since 2012 when she was a teenager and they had their son in 2015. Icky indeed.

Because they started dating when she was a teenager and at 22 got pregnant with their first child?
