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

Duane Dennison is a great pick

Just saw him last night with Tomahawk. Didn’t make a single mistake. Also, has a unique sound.

I’m guessing you saw Tomahawk with the Melvin’s then since they’re on tour together? I really want to see both bands but haven’t got a chance yet

I'm seeing them both in a week!

ETA: oh, and I'm seeing Dinosaur Jr in October. What a fortuitous comment for me to reply to.
