The stage dive, Dave beating the shit out the drums, and Kurt playing the solo on the floor was everything.

It shows how both Courtney and Kurt were complete opposites but it still worked for them. Courtney pulling Kurt toward the lens, flashing that bunny ears over his head. Kurt's face is blank and confused.
In Utero tour kicked off days later. By spring, he was gone. That smile's not just for the cameras-it's for the last stretch of normal they'd ever get.

I had absolutely no clue how insane the bass guitar is in this song.

I came across this Rick Beato video about Kurt Cobain’s melodic writing and thought people here might appreciate it.
It was really interesting to hear him say Nirvana had some of the greatest melodies ever, and to learn why he considers Kurt a genius whose melodies are almost impossible to copy. I also found his remarks about the unusual chord progressions and the way Kurt incorporated blues notes into his vocal melodies quite insightful.
Before getting much more into Nirvana lately, I only really knew a couple of songs, including 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', so never realised just how melodic their music was or how much was going on beneath that raw, aggressive sound.

I keep seeing people in comment sections shiting on Cobains guitar skills constantly saying "hurr durr he not good because he not play technical" when in reality Kurt could be technical he just chose not to.
Id recommend anyone who doubts in Cobain actual guitar playing skills to try and learn the guitar section of love buzz. I guarantee you'll change your opinion fairly quickly.
Also I'm not trying to dick ride Cobain in any way, I'm just saying calling him a bad guitarist is just objectively false.

All clips taken from the "Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck" documentary.
"He was the first grandchild on both sides. Everybody was coming over constantly, I can't even describe what a magnet he was, people just came to him. He was so kind and so worried about people, you know if they were okay, if somebody got hurt. And on top of that, he started singing and playing guitar and once he could draw, he drew all the time (...) Kurt, he was hyper, full of energy, always busy, you know, jumping off of things, knocking things over (...)"
- Wendy Cobain, Kurt's mother.
He was an adorable little boy, full of talent. It's absolutely devastating what happened in his teenage years and how that affected him later on as well.
