>>10933013Here's the deal dude. No one is shitting on Cantrell. Most people like him. You are the asshole for pretending the literal equivalent of guitar playing work rate is "better." Saying he's objectively better than Cobain is stupid.
>They are musically superior in their complexity. I'm not sure how to explain this to someone who doesn't even know who wrote the fucking music in the first place. Cantrell harmonized his music, wrote more complicated chord progressions Give me any kind of example. "Would"? How in the fuck is using F#m "complex?" People have been doing that shit since the beginning of time, literally. Do you know anything about music theory? What exactly about any of AiC's music is harmonically complex? Man in the Box, E minor. Fuck dude. You are an idiot. You think lots of bass, reverb and a minor key is complex.
>and used more advanced guitar techniques in his writing and playing.No he really didn't. Cantrell's best riff was Man in the Box. Literally a bar chord variant. Some of the easiest shit to play. It sounds cool, but it's not complex.
>You could argue Cobain's riffs are the catchiest and his songwriting skills are the bestI don't have to argue that. Their album sales and cultural impact speak for his songwriting skills.
>Come As You Are was written at least 4 times before, it's a basic progression just like most of Cobain's stuff. Yeah asshole. A basic progression. A I-IV-V chord progression. That is literally the basis of all music. Even the AiC, except they used mostly a minor iv in pretty much everything they did. Nirvana at least changed their shit up, using major keys and bi-modality occasionally, which is literally more complex than AiC.
