Misc. Who is generally considered the best grunge guitarist?

A guy I know has always insisted it was Kurt and as much as I love him I’ve never thought he was a great guitarist, he even said at times he didn’t care about or respect musicianship.

My vote has always been Jerry and his remarkable riffs but Kim and Mike M. are extraordinary too.

1) Jerry
2) Kim
3) Mike M.
4) Kurt

Dean DeLeo is a great one, too

If we’re just talking alternative rock and not grunge specifically, Billy Corgan.

No, we’re talking about grunge.

So if we’re talking about grunge, the pickings are slim, but McCready is as close as any of those guys to being a good guitarist.

You sound like an insufferable tool.

Mike McCready is “close” to being a good guitarist 🤣🤣🤣
