Initially supposed to be completed by all band members, this project was released post humously after Cobain's 1994 suicide. Although it is provoking to play "What would it look like if Kurt had lived?" the actual video is special in it's own way. Both Krist, Dave and whoever else helped edit the video into it's final form should be commended for working under such morose circumstances. I honestly do not believe it was easy for these men, and they could have just as easily scrapped the whole idea without explaination. Considering it came moths after his death, I am certain I would not be able to do as well. The final project is as much a history of the band (which was problaly supposed to be it's original intention) as much as it is a tribute to Cobain. Even if it is obvious that the video was supposed to be different, one cannot fault the two men for mourning over their best friend.Too often, our society forgets that musicians are people too and suject to the same emotions and flaws as the rest of the population. The raw unreleased footage shows a group of buddies who just happened to become famous from a hit single. That the members of Nirvana cared for each other is clearly obvious from this movie and is very emotionally touching. Also important is the fact that it revealed members of Nirvana voted in a presidential election. While this political involvement should not come as a big suprise to die hard Nirvana fans (who knew of involvement with Rock for Choce, No on Nine and other campaigns)it would problaly motivate newcomers to get out and change the system if they perceived something wrong. I do however agree with the nausea-themed montage. This group of friends was experiencing some conflict and pressure because of the intense experience with fame and something would have to give. Ideally, it should have been all of thr tabloid media who picked on Kurt and Courtney, but as fate would have it, it was Cobain himself. The world truly lost an original when Cobain died.
