Zakk is 20 times the guitarist Grohl is... yet Ozzy's Label chose to have ozzy write w/ Grohl INSTEAD of Zakk...
Wouldn't you be pissed at Grohl for coming and writing w/ a man that you have written 3 Platinum albums with?

would i be a little annoyed? yes
would i lash out at grohl in a public forum? i would hope i would have a bit more grace than that. i think the probot album shows that grohl has some metal chops and knows his stuff (plus has the respect of lemmy for example).
regarding what you've said about nirvana, technically kurt wasen't a great guitarist. he did write some songs that will stand the test of time though......i would agree that nirvana would have to be the most overated band of that scene with aic the most underated.
