Kurt Cobain was not a great guitarist at all.
He could write a great tune don't get me wrong - I love the pre-nevermind stuff - but a great musician? Nah.

Yup, he was born in Hampstead.
Very skilled guitarist but the Use Your Illusion stuff wrecked it for me; too many songs with 14 guitar solos.

I like Velvet Revolver though.

Actually he was born in Stoke.

No he was born in Hampstead & raised in Stoke.

Looks like it depends on which bio you read.

I remember being told by a mate who lived in one of the pottery towns (possible Newcastle or Stoke) when Appetite came out that Slash was from Stoke, just took it that he was born there.

Suppose it may be down to urban myth as far as the internet is concerned.
Doesn't matter where he was born anyway; he's a brilliant guitarist.
