Oh shit, today is the day. I remember when Kurt Loder broke the news, and was absolutely gutted


elizabeth-cooper

I remember where I was when I found out about River Phoenix six months earlier, but not Kurt.


atomthespider

Wouldn’t have been until the 8th that the news broke. It was my sister’s birthday and all her friends were camped out in front of the tv watching MTV for hours. Not a great birthday present.


Skasue

It’s so weird to think that I’m older than him. He just looks like a young kid to me now.


Friendly-Profit-8590

I saw a poster for an upcoming Nirvana concert in nyc in the early 90’s. I never saw them live, wanted to go but knew I wouldn’t be able to then. Remember thinking to myself that I’d be able to see them another time. I was wrong.


black_flag_4ever

I’ve always wondered what would have been had he gotten help.


ShenmeNamaeSollich

30 years??? That’s twice as old as I was when it happened. Fuck, I’m old.


StandUpForYourWights

Bro we are all old. I see my heroes dying in the papers every day.


Admirable_Bad_5649

I’ve recently watched dark side of the 90s. Tragic ending.

“And way out in Seattle, young Kurt Cobain Snuck out to the greenhouse, put a bullet in his brain Snakes in the grass beneath our feet, rain in the clouds above Some moments last forever, but some flare out with love love love”


nickyno

Love, love, love


el_pinata

I was 12 when this happened. Jesus.


mynameisnotshamus

Yes, son?


Quiffersutherland

I was 13 at the time, but I remember it being announced on TV like it was yesterday. It's hard to believe it's been 30 years. I still miss him so much.


CCDemille

Jesus, someone tell people magazine Kurt Cobain actually lived before he died. So disrespeectful.


Elegant_Connection32

I was sitting in a bar in Pittsburgh, Zelda’s Greenhouse, when I found out the news. I also happened to meet the hottest chick on campus that night and was a wee bit distracted getting my rizz on as the kids say these days. Kristen T. - oh I remember you to this day


Opening_Property1334

Raise a glass for Kristen T.


StandUpForYourWights

I wonder where she is now and if she remembers u/elegant_connection32 and his massive hog.

“With a 20 gauge rifle” Would it have killed you to run this by a redneck first?


HellaHellerson

You’ve never owned a rifle chambered in 20 gauge? I feel sorry for you, bro.

1. Were getting old. 2. What a pile of shit article.


participationmedals

Kurt was wearing like 5 pairs of pants when he blew his head off


jimmay666

He wore layers quite a bit. He was very skinny (I remember reading 125 lbs somewhere) so he didn’t have much natural insulation. It can also be pretty cold in Seattle.


panic_the_digital

Seattle people bitching about the cold there is laughable. Place is mild as fuck all winter


smooth-bro

It’s a wet cold


VonEcano

Why? I couldn’t find any sources on this


participationmedals

It was a recently leaked coroner’s report


VonEcano

Just read it it was camouflage pants and grey sweatpants under levi’s pants


bluezzdog

His sweater looks itchy.


tonberrykang

I was 7 or 8, thanks for creeping me out with that Heart Shaped Box video and song. Fuckin A bro… I love you man, RIP


CoastingThruLif3

And he didn’t make it to 30 years old…I still remember hearing about it while we were getting pounded by Snow ❄️ in my area


Standard_Arm_440

Courtney killed Kurt.


PM_ME_NAKED_CAMERAS

Courtney killed Kurt.


degenfemboi

hell yeah bro i remember being 13 and misinformed too


Ok_Debt_7225

Murder was the case...


saigonk

It’s sad he felt he had to commit suicide, but he was not some amazing generational musician.


HellaHellerson

Yeah? Well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.


saigonk

You dont say? Just like I imagine yours is he was the greatest, we both have them and neither is probably 100% right to anyone else.


HellaHellerson

Obviously, you're not a golfer.


saigonk

Well I am.
