What you seem to be forgetting is that Cobain open's his soul to everyone with his music. To me, that is something very special.
Sometimes people need to identify with songs about s**t that happens in their lives. Unfortunately life is not all fun and games. I like many have been through bad times and music kept me going and kept me focused.

Anyway, to get back on topic ;)
As much as I like Metallica, I really think Kirk is a real sloppy player. I have seen them live lots of times and have never been blown away by his playing.

Absolutely right. People should stop thinking of Kurt as a guitarist. The way I like to remember him (and I am a big fan of Nirvana) is as a songwriter who just happened to play guitar!

I like to think of him as a bullet catcher- and he did a great job!

kurt cobain, i dont care what kind of excuse you make, he sucked. it doesnt take a great musician to sing about angst, it just takes a human who wants to voice it. i read some indepth story about their "song-writing process" and the fact that he had to keep redoing the guitar takes for their "masterpiece" smells like teen spirit because supposedly he couldnt nail the transition from distorted power chords to the clean two note melody. regardless, he makes a lot of money off of this, still not enough to make him happy or maybe even learn how to play, then shoots himself. yeah what a great guy.

i heard some of mick thomsons solos on slipknots new album. they were pretty decent. but then i saw them live and he cant play his own solos live for ****.
