Grohl needs to man up and confront her publicly


He's not a stupid man surely, he knows her and he knows the events around Kurt's death were not investigated at all and it's very likely he was the victim of an orchestrated murder. At the very least, Dave, come out and ask the case be re-opened. Ask that there be full transparency regards the autopsy and undeveloped death scene photos, and that she be forced to account for herself. I think he's the only guy who can force this to move forward. Grant has done his best, shown the world that she is a conspirator, but it's up to Dave Grohl to speak up on it and bring this thing to a conclusion. Kurt deserves justice.

reply

Dave and Krist were fighting with Kurt over money. They wanted more. As a result, Kurt broke off his friendship with them and then he decided he was quitting the band. So Dave is really out of the loop. For years Dave was against Courtney, even writing lyrics in his songs about her. However, recently they have patched up and are friends now. That ruined my interest in Food Fighters and I will no longer buy his future albums. So don't expect Dave or Krist to support the murder theory because they weren't friends with Kurt at the time of his death and really don't know what happened. They are just choosing to believe Courtney's side.

reply

I know Dave stood on the stage with her at the RRHOF induction but is that really a big patch up and we're all big friends? And I know he had a falling out with Kurt over money at the end, and Krist, but I'm sure he loves the guy, Kurt, and thinks about him everyday and misses his talent, and wonders about happened. After all, no Nirvana no FF in my view, he needed that platform. I can't think of anyone else who can push this forward. Krist is a recluse these days and it wouldn't have the same impact. I'd like to engage him on it anyway, if I ever met him with some mutual respect I'd bring it up. He must care about the truth.

Do you have evidence to back up any of these claims?

reply

It's stated clearly in Love and Death, but I'm sure Vapes can confirm. They were on equal split of money but she (the devil woman with evil on her mind) insisted he took the lion's share whatever that was, he told them and they were not happy. He's also on record himself saying Nirvana was over early 94 and Dave has said the same.

reply

Because it's so hard to believe a junkie with a crippling heroin addiction would have a tough time maintaining normal relationships. Congratulations, you've finally cracked the case.

reply

Not sure what point you're making. yes, he was a heroin user, correct. So was Eric Clapton, Dylan, Keith Richards, Ozzy Osbourne, Jimmy Page and many other rock stars of that generation and Kurt's who are still here and managed pressured high profile careers. Find me a case where a guy was loaded with 225mg of heroin and shot himself, it's just ridiculous as the esteemed experts on this film said. Not one single similar case, ever! On that Dave G should just man up and stand up for his late band leader's right to justice. You must know she did it, you should man up also. She's as dirty on this as any junkies needle.

reply

If you do enough heroin, it's going to have negative impact on your personal relationships no matter how rich and famous you are. Most people who aren't junkies won't put up with that kind of behavior for very long.

Find me a case where a guy was loaded with 225mg of heroin and shot himself


Ugh, not this tired argument again. There have been heroin addicts who have taken up to 2,000 mgs in a single day. The "lethal dose" depends on a number of factors and is different for every person.https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/heroin/heroin_dose1.shtml

Your point?

reply

Dave thinks the conspiracy theory is a bunch of crap. Dave, Krist, and Courtney feuded for years yet they still maintain that Kurt killed himself. Dave and Courtney made up in 2014 so why do you think he is going to say something now? If you think he is the only to move things forward then you out of luck and the case will never be re open. Since Dave's opinion ranks so high to you why don't you trust his opinion that Kurt killed himself? You said yourself he is not stupid.

reply

He needs to look again at this picture and Grant if he feels that way. He clearly is not in possession of the facts. I too dismissed the theories until I dug into the thing fully and saw a glaring motive, her lies and the gross rush to judgement and incompetence of the SPD. Dave needs to avail himself of the whole picture. And I don't accept he's a buddy of Courtney Love, just because he stood next to her on a stage in 2014, But if he does have any relationship, great! It's a basis for him to confront her and get the truth from source.

reply

He will never and doesn't have to do anything regarding this at all. He believes Kurt killed himself and is probably like many other people that strongly dislikes Courtney and wants to avoid having any interaction with her. They supposedly "made up" but I doubt he feels any differently after she posted on Twitter that he was hitting on Frances Bean. He's moved on from Nirvana so far and I really don't think he has any reason to look back. He's also called Grant a "public investigator" so he think Grants is out for publicity.

reply

Krist thinks the conspiracy theories are silly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn2-wSk_dHQ

Could the cadaveric spasm clenched his fists, then the murderer(s) pried them open and wrapped them tight around the barrel? Or did they put the gun in his hand and pull the trigger? That seems unlikely and hard to time if he was given a lethal dose of heroin. I watched this with a nurse last night and the spasm hand wrapped around the barrel was hard for her to get over.

reply

The cadaveric spasm wouldn't particularly happen when dying from an overdose. They are associated with a sudden and violent deaths and it's muscular stiffening that occurs at the moment of death. Other examples are drowning victims who are found with weeds clenched in their fists, giving detectives proof of life proving they drowned and not dead before going in the water. In this case it proves he was alive when the gun went off. It also happens to all muscles in the body, not certain ones.

His left hand was gripping the barrel and his right arm/hand laying straight on the floor a certain distance from his body. The gun was found perfectly place in the center of his body. Why wasn't his right hand grabbing the other end of the gun since it stayed right there on his body. His arm should at least be bent or contorted in the clutch position. Instead It was laying straight on the floor.

If he was found at his moment of death, then this shows he was possibly severely incapacitated or even overdosing when the gun went off. Whoever shot him, put the gun in Kurt's mouth, placed Kurt's hand around the barrel, pull the trigger, placed the gun in the center of Kurt's body, keeping Kurt's left hand on the barrel and completely ignoring Kurt's right hand laying right there incapacitated. At least, that seems to be the most plausible scenario if it were a murder in my opinion.

Krist is an idiot. He is still upset that Kurt broke off his friendship with him and so now he has to take the position that it was suicide as a form of retaliation against Kurt. It's his doofus way of getting back at Kurt. If not then it means that Krist is even more stupid than I thought.

reply

[deleted]

Seriously. I believe in the murder theory but some people around here sound insane. Like they know everything there is to possibly know about the case and everyone else is an idiot, even people Kurt knew. I'm sure Krist Novoselic is a complete moron compared to IMDB message board posters.

reply

Words of advice,

If you constantly side with the trolls here who deny and attack the murder theory then that's the side you are on.

Krist was a FORMER friend of Kurt. They were friends in the beginning. Kurt broke off his friendship with Kurt over fights concerning money and other things. This is why Krist is not referred to as Kurt's best friend. He was at one time but Kurt broke off their friendship. Krist is pretty much clueless and out of touch with Kurt. Krist freely buys into what Courtney claims Kurt was like at the time of his death.

reply

You got my post deleted? Smooth.

reply

So true. The arrogance of sly fapping guy is incredible. And he has the nerve to call others trolls. Krist was around Kurt. He tried to help him and Kurt refused his help so that he could run off to his drug dealer to get wasted. Yeah, I'm sure Krist was clueless though.

You are so ridiculous and the biggest troll here. Krist was actually around Kurt doing his final days and can give an account on Kurt's behavior unlike you who act like you were in the room when Kurt died. Now you want to play mind reader and say what Krist is thinking and feeling? Krist and Courtney feuded for 20 years over Nirvana. If he truly thought that Courtney had something to do with Kurt's death or that Kurt didn't kill himself he would have said it doing that time. Krist has always maintained that Kurt killed himself because that is what he believes and based on his experience with Kurt doing the days leading up to Kurt's death.

Funny how the denier trolls like to accuse others of being trolls.

Kurt broke off his friendship with Krist. Krist had no insight into Kurt's mental state because Krist no longer hung out with Kurt. Krist was at the "drug intervention" but had no true insight into Kurt's behavior and merely bought into Courtney's lies. Krist had no idea that Courtney had convinced child protective services that it was Kurt who was a junkie.

This is what Krist said right after Kurt's death.

"I don't have it all figured out right now." (Seattle Post Intelligencer, April 14 1994).

Krist was in shock and despite the crap he spouts now, Krist did not believe that Kurt was suicidal. Someone who needs time to "figure it out" could not have seen it coming like he now claims. Krist is an individual who was pushed to the outskirts and no longer was a part of the "inner circle". He was no longer called Kurt's best friend. That role would go to Dylan Carlson.

What the hell are you talking about? Krist someone he knew Kurt since they were teens and was with Kurt days befoe his death has no insight into to Kurt's mental state but yet some troll like you who never met Kurt has more insight into Kurt's mental state then he does? Also you want to believe childhood friends who haven't seen Kurt in years as having more insight into Kurt's state of mind than Krist? What sense does that make? Kurt may have been pissed off at Krist but that still doesn't change the fact that Krist was around Kurt days before Kurt died. One day Krist gave Kurt a ride and Kurt claimed that he wanted to go get something to eat but that was just a lie to go score more drugs. Kurt would rather go get high than get help. Krist was also the one who drove Kurt to the airport the first time and that is when him and Kurt got into a physical fight because Kurt didn't want to go to rehab. That was the last time Krist saw Kurt. Krist told Charles Cross that he knew that was the last time he would see Kurt alive. Krist saw how out of control Kurt was.

Funny how you take one quote from Krist as the final word for your insane argument and ignore everything else he has said since then. You do the same crap with Courtney the the SPD. You accuse them of lying and then the next minute quote them. That quote was given days after Kurt's body was found. Of course he was in shock. In most cases when someone commits suicide their family and friends initially don't want to believe they did it.I still haven't seen any quote from Krist ever saying that Kurt was murdered. All I see is your speculation. You say Krist was pushed out of the inner circle but the people who where in the inner circle like Dylan, Pat Smear, Eric Erlandson, and Cali all believe that Kurt killed himself but yet you claim that his inner circle was in on the murder plot so I don't know why the hell you brought up Dylan in the first place?

reply

Looks like someone has a lot of research they need to do. Krist was a former best friend of Kurt. Notice how everyone says that Dylan Carlson was Kurt's best friend? There's a reason why you know. But I'm not wasting anymore time on you.

I know Dylan was Kurt's best friend. I never said that he wasn't. Also I don't care many times you keep saying that Krist was a former friend of Kurt's, it still doesn't change the fact that Krist was around Kurt doing his last days. Unlike you he actually has personal experience and real insight on Kurt's behavior and actions.

Yes I have. I laid it out pretty clearly right here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3253624/board/thread/245226252?p=12&d=251107116

•Sometime between April 4 and April 6, 1994: Kurt Cobain dies.

•The morning of April 8, 1994: Kurt Cobain's corpse is discovered. Soon thereafter, an autopsy is conducted (I couldn't find the exact date of the autopsy, but it was obviously after the 8th and before the 14th).

•The afternoon of April 8, 1994: An SPD spokesperson announces that the final toxicological figure will be known in about three weeks. [http://kurtcobainsdeath.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/morphine/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vnT255QEaw—2:29]

•April 14, 1994: A source within the coroner's office leaks the preliminary toxicological figure (1.52 mg/L) and it is printed in The Seattle Post-Intelligencer. For those of you who aren't so good with math—April 8 to April 14 is considerably less than three weeks.

•March 2014: Ciesynski releases his review report. In it, he still quotes the 1.52 mg/L figure. So you can keep screaming that he's seen the final toxicology report till you're blue in the face, but until you can give me a reasonable explanation as to why he chose not to quote its contents and instead repeat the figure quoted six days after the body was discovered, I repeat...
Until you can address this discrepancy, you've got nothin'.




But I'm not wasting anymore time on you.

Because you can't come up with an valid response on what I had to say.


He always does this, pay it no mind. This board is full of threads in which people directly ask him to back up his outrageous claims with facts, evidence and logic; and every time, he only offers a response just like the one above. He's now become a joke even to the other murder theorists. And I hope he keeps at it, since his asinine and threadbare theories will do more to wake people up to how implausible the murder theory is than anything we could ever say.

You are not fooling anyone with this nonsense arkraider85.


I'm not attempting to "fool" anyone. I don't understand how you can be so dense as to not understand how toxicology tests that are conducted post-autopsy work. I've provided plenty of links to that information, written by people in the field who are far more knowledgeable than I am about the process. You are still yet to offer any explanation whatsoever for the discrepancy as to why Ciesynski would choose to quote the less accurate figure in his review if he's seen the final figure. So who's kidding whom?

reply

[deleted]

You are just very confused and you don't know what a final autopsy report is.

"I've provided plenty of links to that information"
Like this one "http://kurtcobainsdeath.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/morphine";?
You should be more careful about the information on the web. It was not written by someone in the field.


I meant more like this one: http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/features/the-truth-about-toxicology-tests

And I think you're missing the actual point I'm trying make here—just to be clear, the SPD/Ciesynski may very well have the final toxicological figure, but none of us know what it is because Ciesynski chose to instead quote the figure released in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer article on 04/14/1994.

reply

[deleted]

We know because:

-The case investigation report is an official written police report= no *beep* allowed

-The figure was also confirmed by the medical examiner,Dr. Hartshorne, during an undercover tape recorded conversation


Now you're just straight-up parroting talking points from Tom Grant's website: http://www.cobaincase.com/updatemay2014.htm

And none of that negates what I said. Is this really all you've got?

reply

[deleted]

It's perfectly possible that the accurate figure was available in less that three weeks (hey moron, contrary to you i understand what i read about toxicology tests)


So they decided to do three extra weeks of extensive tests for no reason whatsoever, what, just for sh-ts and giggles? You still haven't offered any sort of evidence that would persuade a thinking, rational person to believe your claim that the preliminary figure is the same as the final one that's never been released. But by all means, please continue with your tantrum.

Anyone with half a brain can understand that the main debate is about heroin tolerance.


We've already had (and settled) that debate quite a few times on this board.

reply

[deleted]

I don't have a definitive opinion about that debate but one thing is certain: it's way more complex than you think.


Okay, I'll bite: how so? It's not as if I didn't approach the issue of drug tolerance as a complex one to begin with. You seem to have a habit of implying that you have a great deal of insight into these things without ever offering up anything to back it up (just as you STILL haven't offered any evidence for your assertion in the argument we've been having). As I said in the first post of the thread I started, people need to bring facts, evidence and logic to the table if they want their claims to have any sort of merit. I try to keep an open mind and I certainly have no dog in this fight in terms of caring one way or another how Kurt Cobain died, so if you have something compelling to add to the debate, please share it with the rest of the class.

What is your obsession with Kurt's 'best fwends'? They were all grown ups! It doesn't matter who was best friends with who. Krist was still around Kurt. He spent time with him, he talked to him. Dylan was a junkie at the time and was more than likely more concerned about his own drug addiction than his 'best friend'.

reply

Notice how everyone says that Dylan Carlson was Kurt's best friend? There's a reason why you know.


yea, because they were both junkies

reply

yea, because they were both junkies


He was a user. But I personally would not say Kurt was a junkie because that level of addiction is an every day thing for them. We know from the Rome incident that heroin was not found in his system. So that indicates that it was not an everyday thing for Kurt.

reply

Kurt would take just about any drug he could get his hands on. He himself admitted to taking upwards of $400 worth of heroin a day at one point. No casual user would be able to survive that. Also, I'd like to see the source for your claim about Rome.

reply

Kurt lied all the time. Any boast of that amount sounds suspicious. Look it up.

reply

So if Kurt said something you like you quote it if you dont like it you say he lied all the time. If you like sth Courtney said you quote her if not, you say shes a known liar. If you like sth anyone said you quote them if not, you completely dismiss it. See where im going with this. You really are a joke.

And dont think youre fooling anyone with your second account here, its obvious its you.

reply

Kurt's friends have admitted that most of his boasts were bull *beep* For example, that he lost his virginity to a mentally retarded girl. Never happened. So if Kurt boasted about doing $400 worth of heroin it likely is a lie as well. That was just what Kurt did. It's a part of his humor. I'm sorry you can't understand that.

reply

The 'fat retard' story sounds dubious because it's never been confirmed by anyone who grew up with Kurt. In that same article where Buzz Osborne refuted it, he also stated that Kurt made up the stomach ailment as an excuse to stay loaded. The Melvins tried to record Houdini with Kurt working as producer in late '92/ early '93 and had to let him go because he was so messed up all the time. Krist and their manager tried to stage multiple interventions. Whether or not that exact number is true, it's really apparent that his drug use far beyond casual.

reply

Leaving the Suicide vs. Conspiracy aside, Dave Grohl has absolutely nothing to gain from coming out and questioning Courtney or making any statement about Kurt's death being anything but a suicide. He has a lot to lose. Publicly he has never questioned the suicide. Behind closed doors...who knows?

reply

What does Dave have to lose by questioning the official report? He already has millions of adoring fans who cling to his every action and most of them already hate Courtney anyway.

reply

I don't think it would affect his fans but I don't think his Management, Record Label and PR people would want him to say he thinks he's a conspiracy believer. I know he could probably care less about Courtney....and it would be one thing to say he questions the official report, without implying there's a vast conspiracy. It would be interesting for a major musician to say they believe Kurt was murdered, albeit a former band member. I can't think of any that have come out publicly. Maybe not a lot to lose but nothing to gain...other than a Twitter war with Courtney and Co.

reply

Record companies only care about the bottom line. Dave publicly questioning the official police reports isn't going to have any noticeable impact on his album and ticket sales because nobody gives a flying *beep* if he thinks about the conspiracy theories.
