Those of us who've been fans since the early days have had plenty of opportunities to talk to Cris, Curt and Derrick. In my experience they've *always* been uncomfortable with attention and people who are star struck. Cris was always the most outgoing in my experience. I once asked Curt about his influences while talking with he and Cris at their trailer before a show. His answer was very much like what he gave to Conan. Ask Curt about his gear and you might get a different answer.

@distantbeaches lawl, meat puppets rip off Nirvana. That is sad. Meat Puppets have been around far longer than Nirvana and they hve been crafting excellent music for over a decade before nirvana came around. I think it was a legitimate question, but it is hard to answer that because personally I don't think there music sounds very similar. If anything I'd say the heavy rifts is all that Cobain could have taken, or the singing in some cases.
