I'm not saying that's crazy because I don't know this to be a fact (better drummer) but I would have to see tape of Cobain drumming to believe it. Sure, Grohl is no Bernard Purdie, but for what Nirvana was doing, I thought he did a fine job. Which brings me to another question..........when did drummers become the best musicians in a band? (excluding Nirvana)

As already mentioned, I'd have to see proof of Cobain drumming. either a tape or audio that Grohl and Novaselic confirmed was Cobain drumming.

100x the songwriter.... Absolutely.

Musician? We will never know. His wheels came off and he killed himself. His guitar playing was just OK and effects driven. Also, purposely imperfect. Kind of like Neil Young. I don't know how good of a guitarist Young is. Nobody will, and he could give two shits. He's gonna play his way.

We know Grohl is a good drummer. He can write songs (not better than cobain), he can play guitar, and can sing. The last 2 we will never know who was better. Cobain and grohl both were not trying to be too technical in their guitar playing and not too perfect vocally.
