Must have missed it. It's actually one of the better covers of Smells Like Teen Spirit, though that's not saying much. I think I like the ukuleles more than those cheesy string tribute albums that keep coming out. I wonder how "Vicious" would fare on ukulele.

better than Tori Amos

when you think about it, those barre chords played in that rhythm accompanied by the perfect thunderous backing drums for that song changed music...it's pretty incredible that something so simple, properly executed, did all that.

a testament to his love of R.E.M. & The Beatles distilled into his pure love of the guitar?

Cobain's style resonates with me completely. We are basically of the same generation, & I naturally compose much like he does. People that hear me always associate my playing with either Neil Young or him. There's just as much Sonic Youth & Jimi Hendrix influence as well, but people don't pick that out as readily. I learned guitar by Robert Johnson (who I'll never be able to reproduce, but he was a great teacher nonetheless) first & then Kurt Cobain (who I ape perfectly). Thurston & Lee and Lou & Sterling, John & George, Mick Ronson & Keith Richards are my other biggest guitar-hero inspirations. Not many people get this, but as much as I love & respect Jimmy Page, I do assert that Keith Richards is even better. Keith is less of a lead guy, of course, but he has more irreproducible soul. I'd love to be able to create music more like Mick Taylor or Jimi Hendrix, but I'm more of a creative chord progession & riff-guy ultimately than a scale master with timeless spirit. I only went just so far with the lessons I learned from Jimi; sadly or perhaps not, I only learned just enough from him to be able to do my thing. Contrary to what one might think, learning a masterful Jimi Hendrix solo is easier than a seemingly simple John Lennon rhythm guitar part, & I write this even though I'm naturally more of a rhythm player than a lead player; John Lennon is the greatest musical genius of all time & I include Hendrix & Coltrane & the classical greats in this estimation (he's also my favorite vocalist ever). His own favorite artists were Dylan, Hendrix, Nilsson & Berry. I can learn Lennon rhythms, but it's still ridiculously difficult to really duplicate & do them justice. My hat is off to professional The Beatles cover bands.

Oh, Kurt Cobain was no less a genius than Elvis Costello or David Bowie, if you ask me... His mastery of pop intricacies and his piquant, engaging lyrics belie a mind that was so aware of everything going around him, it's painful to think about. His compositions are a picture perfect example of minimalism, achieveing the most amount of effect, with the least amount of bullshit.

Perhaps the most unsung & underrated guitarist: Elliot Easton of The Cars. He's completely in-the-pocket & technical, but he's consummately creative as well...a complete & total badass.

Not just REM and the beatles, is it? Have you forgotten the Pixies and the Melvins? I am definitely influenced by him in my guitar playing, but also by SY's techinical-aggro fusion of noise... But without Cobain's passion and pure love for the music, I would never have picked up a guitar in the first place... Screw you Bon Jovi and Guns 'N' Roses.

no i didn't forget. well, actually as you have made me painfully aware, i did forget them in the post, but not in my mind. in fact, it really did cross my mind to mention that he loved them as well, but i got sidetracked due to my own self-aggrandizing tangent...i swear those exact two popped int o m yhead & since I don't really think they are all that incredibly great (as much as r.e.m. & the beatles at least), i just chose to ignore them in a sense (admittedly understimating boardie knowledge once again to my dismay)...

he said himself that teen spirit was inspired by the pixies (joey is a sometimes hot player down with the zeitgeist too) & kc idolized the melvins (lord knows why, some adolescent fascination with their scene cred i'm guessin') & was a roadie for 'em.

we all have our neurotic idiosyncrasies.

now promptly go down to your local used bookstore & ask them to call you when they get some apocrypha (gospel of st. thomas) in stock.

alyasa, truncated better step it up.
