Last week, Melvins founder Buzz Osborne wrote a scathing review of the new documentary Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck for The Talkhouse, criticizing the film as being 90 percent. . . bullshit. Now the musician has reinforced his stance on Brett Morgens acclaimed project in an interview with Riff You, saying hes baffled that fans trust the movies accuracy simply because of its association with family members, including Courtney Love.
If they want to take [Loves] word for things, then go ahead, he said. Do you feel better? Then everything she says is the golden rule. Absolutely. If that makes them feel better, its fine by me. I just dont understand how anybody could possibly defend her. If they want to defend her or take the side of the filmmaker, go ahead. How is that my fault? How am I to blame for that? Like I said in my article: Facts dont make any difference. What matters is what people believe. The truth about [Cobains] situation has always been false. So there you goutter fabrication. Thats never not been the case.
Osborne said he was asked to review the film and never wouldve watched it otherwise, affirming that his critique was intended to stand up for the Nirvanasongwriter, a friend that isnt around to defend himself.
I dont understand how anyone could see it another way, he continued. If they want to argue and say that Im wrong, then okay, Ill play their game. Would they feel better if Kurt Cobain did fuck a fat retard. Do they feel better now? Do they feel better if he actually was suicidal? That makes you feel better? None of thats true. I dont think thats a good legacy for him to have out there. I know its not true. Its that simple.
In his review, the musician claimed theres no truth to stories of Cobain attempting suicide on train tracks or trying to sleep with a developmentally challenged girl from his high school. But Osborne told Riff Youthat he wasnt surprised by the accused inaccuracies. Im never surprised, because generally speaking, [Cobains story] has never been right, he said. It never has been in the past. I wouldve been surprised if it were right on.
Osborne noted that he wasnt asked to be a part of Montage of Heck, though he didnt care about that, and added that hes gaining absolutely nothing from being honest about this.
[Morgens] the one who is gaining, not me, he said. If he believes [the stories], I dont care, thats fine with me. He can do that. But I dont have to go along with that.
