Gear doesn't mean shit it's if you understand rock/metal music or not.
This isn't electronic music, gear is just a means to an end [think Ibanez and Jackson guitars being popular with speed/thrash/death.black metal guys because of pickups and neck profiles].
Also grunge sucks. I don't care for them, but go learn Metallica songs they're "dad rock", but a much better band to learn than fucking Nirvana lol.
