I used to think Mick Mars sucked, but I've seen him twice in the last few years and he played very well, sounded much better live than on CD. Kurt Cobain truly was horrible. Worse yet, he inspired a lot of kids to play just as badly. With his music, you can be a non-guitar player, be at his level three mos. after you start playing and then think you've hit the pinnacle. Really sad. I find that whole early 90's genre of Seattle music to be some of rock guitar's darkest days. Even if the 80's hair bands were cheese, you had to have some chops to play that stuff. I spent countless hours learning every White Lion solo and am still a better player for it.
