Courtney Love's Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Against Jared Leto Is Coming In 3..2..
I can think of so many ways to pay tribute to Kurt Cobain (examples: don't wash your hair, cuddle with a flannel, pose in a picture with RuPaul), but posting a masturbatory imitation of him on YouTube is not one of them. But that's exactly what Jared Leto did yesterday on the 17th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death. Jared wrote on his blog that years ago when they were making a movie about Kurt's life, he made an audition tape that never touched a casting director's desk. Jared chose yesterday as the perfect day for him to share his Kurt Cobain impersonation with the world!
Damn. Save it for the Liberty High School afternoon talent show, Jordan Catalano! If you get somebody to throw a compact at your head, Jared would sort of not really look like Kurt, but that voice. THAT VOICE. Jared sounds more like Ma from Ma's Roadhouse hawking a loogie into a lawn mower motor (that's actually a compliment).
Oh, and that stand-alone ATM machine receipt with random numbers scribbled on the back with a faded BIC pen that somebody slid under Jared's door this morning is actually an invoice from Courtney Love.
• 
Don't even need to watch it. I have an unconditional love for Mr. Leto and everything he does.
This must have been for the Gus Van Sant movie starring Michael Pitt.
I don't know much about Jared Leto but to me this 'tribute' is quite true to Kurt Cobain, as a singer and as a person.
NO no no no no no no no. I really wanted that to be good...but no. I had to turn it off. Now I must go pull out my Nirvani CDs.

OK, so normally I think he's a douche. But, this is really quite good.
Jared Leto was so damn cute as Jordan Catalano....and he was great in Requiem for a Dream. Then.....the slide into hipster/indie wrongness. Can't listen to this clip. Love the original artist's memory too much....

Horrible singing voice. Let the guy r.i.p already. Leto is such a wanna-be.

Been hearing for YEARS about Jared Leto and I still can't name ONE thing he has done that I have seen without looking up IMDB. All i know is that he wore that stupid eye liner for WAAAAY too long and I don't really give a shit about him.
"Kurt was a hot, rageful piscean. RIP. Leto, Kurt ain't the one. Leave it be.
...I completely agree with you. Kurt was handsome (Those EYES!) AND talented, and this male cunt-face will NEVER be like him. Poor Kurt must be rolling in his grave right now.
Ugh. Can't stand Jared Leto. He's another one of those male celebs that try too hard to be "out there." He seems like a punk bitch too...with a punchable face...and looks like he spends at least 3 hours in front of the mirror...and cums powder dust...I JUST DON'T LIKE THIS MALE CUNT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! : /

I didn't hate it, either. It actually reminded me of Nirvana's sort-of-but-not-really Unplugged set. Sure, Leto isn't in agony like Cobain, so all you get from the lyrics are his admiration for Cobain which makes the song sort of flat to my ears, but he's not lip syncing or faking with the guitar, and he's pretty, so I can't throw shade at this.
------------------
I'm gonna wander around with LCFitz & M.E. now.....
I actually thought this was pretty damn good.
I understand heroin is a bitch. He didn't make a serious attempt.Its in his biographies. He went to rehab once and then left. He went the second time as a result of an intervention. He then hopped the fence. He maybe was sober for a few weeks? It's not like he fell of the wagon.
Regarding his stomach, I don't think people who are not physically dependant on drugs would regard heroin as a solution to anything.
Love his music but I can't excuse this. whatever.
I am still not getting why its so disturbing for Jordan Catalano to play some Nirvana. It's music.
Isn't music supposed to be universal?
Britney Spears can sing it if she wants to.
I don't think Kurt would mind it.Funny I don't see Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic or even Courtney validating this reaction to a person enjoying music.
I think what is causing him to roll in his grave is more so that his widow and mother of his child is regarded as a laughing stock.
Remember in the 90's when people said "hey, its the 90s right?"
Kurt was a hot, rageful piscean. RIP. Leto, Kurt ain't the one. Leave it be.

Not too bad....was this for the Gus Van Sant movie "Last Days"?
I was leery at first, but I'm actually pretty impressed. I think he would have made a pretty good Kurt, at least musically and visually. (I haven't seen enough of his stuff to say whether he'd be good w/ the acting part though)

Truth. Heroin is the most alluring bitch on earth. I'll bet, after all these years, your friend still has dope dreams.
******************************
He does indeed. He says that he still craves it at times, like when he got high daily. He says his mouth can sometimes water if he sees a heroin scene in a movie.
He says that he fell off the wagon for 6 days in 1985, and again in 2001. He says it is his own personal hell, even though he has married a young woman and has two children with her, a career (he won't retire yet, for fear idle hands will be the devils workshop), and friends. He is totally hetero, but says when he was in his late 20's and at his lowest point of addiction, he started turning tricks with men to get dope money. By his 30's he started to try and battle his addiction. As I said, it continues to this day. He is a really interesting man to talk to.

And no one should say that Cobain "never made a serious attempt to give up heroin" unless they were inside his skin.

I guess it is a blessing that you are not acquainted with drug addiction or depression.
Are you aware of how difficult it is to overcome heroin addiction? I have a friend who is an old man (nearing 70) who was one of the first people ever put on the methadone program in New York way back when. He has fought his addiction since he was in his early 30's, and he says that there is not one day that goes by that he doesn't think about sticking a needle in to his arm and getting high. His sobriety is a 24/7, 365, 12 month a year JOB! He lost his family, his wife, and he said he didn't care. It was all about getting drugs and being high.
It amazes me that people think that getting off of drugs is just as simple as saying no, and eating a carrot stick instead. It isn't.

STFU Jared Leto. When Cobain and other artists were pioneering the alternative music scene, you were PLAYING a high school student in a band on a teen angst show. An awesome show, for sure, but still. You're a has-been actor and a shitty musician. STFU.

That doesn't negate the fact that she is a fuck-up/crackhead as well.
And if Jared Leto weren't 3 apples high, he'd be great as Kurt Cobain in a movie.

TROOF! Thank you. It amazes me how ignorant some people can be regarding mental illness. Read a book for Christ's sake.
I kind of agree with ba-buttons a little bit. He never worked a real job. He didn't even make any serious attempts to quit heroin (Courtney has him on that),even after they lost custody of Francis.
They probably could have used a little Jaime Spears in their lives.
I believe his reaction to being famous is ridiculous. I understand social anxiety,but he seems kind of the Bethanny Frankel of the grunge era.
His music is timeless though. I don't know why Jared Leto is not free to play and appreciate
Kurt's music. Everyone listened to Nirvana in those days, rappers,middle aged executives, and probably all of the Mickey Mouse Club.
He is the reason I got serious about playing the guitar, and everyone regards me as a vapid superficial slut. Trying to actually sing his songs is very tricky. I haven't made a serious attempt yet. His voice really reflected what he was feeling when he wrote the song. I give Jared Leto some credit, even though he sounds like he is trying to hock a loogie before the start of every word.
Remember in the 90's when people said "hey, its the 90s right?"
depression is nothing to joke about.

How is suicide the coward's way out? I'm sorry, but putting a bullet in your head without knowing what's on the other side is pretty ballsy.
Cobain had lifelong stomach pains so severe that heroin was the only thing that calmed it. Factor in the fact that he was severely depressed and came to the conclusion that money and fame don't fix everything, that you can no longer trust anybody, and you understand why he killed himself.
Coward's way out? Really? We are a nation of cowards who take jobs we don't want, settle for partners we don't necessarily like out of fear of being alone, pray to a God who may not exist, and elect assholes because we are incapable of seeing that we maintain a government who continuously fucks us over.
It's sad when kids kill themselves, but if you're an adult making this decision I can understand that life is hard. Maybe it's not for everybody.

Also, I saw one of those super serious conspiracy videos the other day on youtube in which they said Kurt had been murdered by the Illuminati lol along with JFK and Michael Jackson. They managed to link it all to 9/11. It was pretty darn hilarious.

Fuck Kurt Cobain. Suicide is the cowards way out, and him with a wife and child to look after.
And fuck all this "Oh poor Kurt was in agony..." Did the guy ever miss a meal? What fucking country do you think he lived in? Cocksucker was rolling in MTV dollars (that he HATED SOOOOO MUCH). Nobody but KURT jammed that heroin filled syringe into his arm.

It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.
Team Leto. I thought this was great.
I cannot believe it's been SEVENTEEN YEARS since Cobain's death. Seems like just yesterday all us angst-ridden thirteen year olds were drinking Boone's Farm, smoking Marlboro reds, and carving his initials into our arms in mourning.

There's a Nirvana song called "You Know You're Right" that was released a few years ago, and his voice is just fantastic. It sounds like a chainsaw on the chorus, and I mean that as a compliment.

You are not alone, M.E.! I think it was a fair attempt by Leto. The thing that I loved the most about Kurt's voice was the "honey/gravel" quality it had. Leto's was a bit heavy on the gravel, though.
Hard to believe it's been 17 years. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but to me, Nirvana saved rock 'n' roll. God bless Kurt.

Jared Leto is such a creepy and pathetic mofo. And his voices is terrible, damn. Not to mention, Cobain was actually pretty good-looking, Leto is not.
All said and done, this is still miles better than that "Born This Way" Madonna-rip-off poo playing on my radio right now.
