This is just rubbish. If you want footage of the band, interviews, music, rare stuff, insight into the life and times of kurt cobain......Sorry, it has none. The people on it knew or heard of Kurt Cobain, but there is none of him or Nirvana on it. Abit of a flop really.

Well first of all, the video wasn't anything! I probably could make a video of Kurt's life and make it a 5 star movie! I am the biggest Kurt Cobain fan in the world. I am all for Kurt movies, but this was a big dissapointment! Any Nirvana fans out there don't buy this. Get the "Live Tonight-Sold Out" video it's alot better! Only people who like to waste money should get this!!!!

THIS MOVIE DOESN'T EVEN DISERVE THE NAME"KURT COBAIN" ON IT! THIS WAS THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SAW! NOBODY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT! THEY JUST RAMBLED ON ABOUT SOMETHING THEY PRETENDED THEY UNDERSTOOD! IF KURT COBAIN SAW THIS MOVIE HE WOULD "KILL" THE PEOPLE WHO MADE IT! DO NOT BUY! IF YOU WAN'T TO SEE A GOOD MOVIE ABOUT KURT COBAINS FORSHADOWING LIFE I SUGGEST YOU TAKE A LOOK AT "KURT AND COURTNEY"

I am a big nirvana fan, as I'm sure most other people are who look in this section, but don't buy this video, it is a waste of money and time especially, I bought Nirvana Live Tonight Sold Out and that was wonderful, interviews, music, live performances for like an hour and a half, I think this "Teen Spirit" video was about an hour. This is a whole bunch of interviews of people who used to know Kurt Cobain, or had heard of him at some point in their life who lived near Seattle. It was an utter waste of time, if you were looking for a video about Nirvana. find something else, anything else, it would probably be better than this. If you've seen "Live Tonight Sold Out" already get "the year that punk broke", it isn't all about nirvana but it has alot more content that actually shows the band than this one does. I don't quite remember because I saw this 2 or 3 years back but there is only about 5 minutes of footage of the actual band I beleive. But I could be wrong.

I TINK THE VIDEO WAS POORLY MADE. IT LEFT YOU WITH NO USEFUL INFORMATION AFTERWARDS... IT LACKED EVERYTING THAT GOES INTO A WELL MADE DOCUMENTRY.

This video was an absolute horror. First off, they didnt have any Nirvana footage or music. Besides the few short Nirvana interview clips, the rest of those who spoke had not a clue. The fans were preppy dressed students who were the exact people who Kurt made fun of for joining the bandwagon. Not only this, but these people read off of cue cards (it was obvious) and gave information that wasn't even correct. "Im a negative creep when Im stoned," said one "fan". Well, if he had any clue, he would have known those are not the correct lyrics. To add to this foolishness, the music in the backround looped endlessly around with the same tune that was just hideous. At the end - where I was happy to see it ending - it ends with a teeny bopper pop song that has nothing to do with Nirvana or even rock music. This movie is a complete waste of money, and time if you watch it. It gives no useful information and threatens the watcher with toxic boredom, stay away. A good choice is the video "Live, Tonight, Sold Out". END

I was very angry that this pathetic movie could be even associated with a great musician (and person) Kurt Donald Cobain! The people being interviewed did not know what they are talking about! One person said that words to live by were "I'm a negative creep, I'm a negative creep, I'm a negative creep WHEN I'm stoned." Those aren't the even the correct lyrics, it's AND I'm stoned. Another person, instead of saying it correctly: Smells Like Teen Spirit, they said Smells Like TEAM Spirit. It contained nothing about the band or their music, and only showed footage of Aberdeen, WA. The photographer who thought he was god's gift to the world didn't even have a clue what he was talking about! I am extremely disapointed in this movie! END

I bought this video knowing that it wouldn't be good. But, I was horrified when I actually saw it myself. This video doen't even deserve the one star. The interviews were with people who knew nothing about what Nirvana was. And the people who were saying that they were the fans of Nirvana seemed to say it just because they wanted to be in the video. PLease, I request you not to buy this video if you like Nirvana. But if you don't appreciate them and their music(which is highly unlikely), then go ahead show it to your friends and tell them how crap Nirvana was.

just do not buy this the worst film on kurt cobain i have ever seen

The video is a terrible excuse for a tribute to a man like Kurt Cobain. You won't find any new insights into Kurt, Nirvana, or anything at all here. Best to stay away.
