They're great
not sure about them not being able to play though, Curt is one of the best guitarists ever. And the new album isn't too bad either.
Can't wait til the scala gig...
this review
makes it sound like they've still got it:

what would be
the best album to start off with?
II
^
can't play!?
some of that guitar is impossible!
Need to get a ticket for that show at the Scala!
Too High to Die
is the only album of theirs that I have. I've heard a couple of the earlier ones though. I'd say by the time they recorded Too High... they were pretty accomplished musicians.
Chronic drummer though
The guy plays the same beat for the whole of II!
Sweet-ass guitar playing though.
Is II the one with the "Nirvana Unplugged" songs on?
yup
they made more money from convincing kurt to do that than they did on everything else in their careers combined
Whats best to go for
after II?
And don't say III.
II
or Mirage or Forbidden Places.
oops
i meant I.
