^He's not referring to the guitars, he's referring to the type of songs they wrote in general. When you're singing about the stuff that Bon Scott sang about in AC/DC, you don't need to be all that technically skilled. Hell....I would probably find entertainment in Bon Scott reading me a damn Harry Potter book in the voice he sang with. Anyway, the point is, it's not about the guitarists.
Now...Kurt Cobain would have just sounded like a whiny crack addict if he hadn't been backed by the music that Nirvana played.
And as great of a lyricist he is, and how well his voice fits their music, Geoff Rickly (Thursday) would probably sound horrible on his own.

Why do I start what I can't finish?
Oh please, don't barrage me with questions to all those ugly answers.
My ego's like my stomach- it keeps shitting what I feed it.
But maybe I don't want to finish anything anymore..
maybe I can wait in bed 'til she comes home. and whispers....
