NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB!GW: Ever get the urge to use a twang bar?
Kurt: No. Anybody that plays guitar knows that only Jimi Hendrix was able to use the standard tremolo and still keep it in tune. Those things are totally worthless. I do have one on a Japanses Strat, but I don’t use it.

Dude was a heroin-addicted high school dropout. What did you expect him to sound like?

i saw an interview where he talked about that interview with someone and he basically said that he was just being a jackass cuz he hated the idea of being a "guitar player"

I have a very hard time believing that the bridge adjustment part wasn't ignorance though...robert(original) wrote:i saw an interview where he talked about that interview with someone and he basically said that he was just being a jackass cuz he hated the idea of being a "guitar player"

at that point he was using TOM's and had people working on his guitars for him.
obvisouly he owned a few before he "hit it big" so he must have taken the bridge off and looked at it. at least he strung the damn things right.

OMG I CANT GET IT STAY IN TUNE.teh kurdtz wrote:They’re cheap and totally inefficient, and they sound like crap and are very small. They also don’t stay in tune, and when you want to raise the string action on the fretboard, you have to loosen all the strings and completely remove the bridge. You have to turn these little screws with your fingers and hope that you’ve estimated it right. If you screw up, you have to repeat the whole process over and over until you get it right. Whoever invented that guitar was a dork.

I've never seen anything he's written or said that leads me to believe he's a genius.
Kurt Cobain = Just a dude from a rock band.
"Unplugged" is amazing, though

This. I loved bleach and in utero as much as the next guy, but he was a junky and he married courtney love. Genius he most certainly was not.DuoSonicBoy wrote:I've never seen anything he's written or said that leads me to believe he's a genius.

I don't get why musical genius = smart. I don't think Kurt Cobain was smarter than the average person from his background, but I think he was musically gifted. I'm not sure I'd say a musical genius though. It seems like he was taking the piss in that interview though.
