Sorry if I sounded harsh in saying "what a joke", but the real joke is that he's actually considered a guitar hero by many. I just don't get it, but opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and they all stink....

I learned how to play off Metallica, not Nirvana so much. The first riffs I learned were the intros to Seek and Destroy, One, and Enter Sandman. Before I knew what a power chord was I attempted to play Smells Like Teen Spirit, but that was a huge failure. Since that time I didn't really have an interest in playing Nirvana songs so much as I did Metallica, but I did love to listen to both of them.

Musical taste is opinon based.
