Born in the state of Washington, Seattle, guitars louder than bombs, left handed, dead at 27, 3 studio albums each, both parents divorced at the age of 9, 3 piece bands. The similarities are indeed very striking. Whilst Hendrix music incorporate far more wide range influences including the blues, psychedelia, funk, ect… than Kurt did with Nirvana, the main blue print was very similar. Turn up the amps, play a big riff, throw in a big vocal hook and we are good to go.
