Kurt Cobain gets a pass for being a mediocre guitarist because he died young

I was at a record store in Portland last weekend and heard some guy call Nirvana's Nevermind a 'masterpiece of guitar work.' I've played guitar for 15 years and those power chords are the first thing you learn. Why do people treat him like he's Hendrix just because he died at 27?

Raw emotion doesn't fix a missed note" - tell that to Neil Young fans.

Did you ever think his raw emotion mattered more than technical skill for what that music needed?

Nah, raw emotion doesn't fix a missed note or a bad key change.
