Isn't it quite odd that guys like Slash and Grohl surpassed even their notorious frontmen in overall fame?

Of course Cobain died, but I'm not quite sure he could have held lasting fame had he not.

Reznor still wins awards and makes music but he's kind of a low key guy when it comes to overall exposure.

Marilyn Manson's run was very short even though how huge he was.

Morello is so unique that I consider him to be a "modern" guitar legend.  But that's the musician in me.

No way I think he's as household known in rock as Slash.  Even though he is much more original.

Rob Zombie is someone that immediately is recognizable as well. 

Cornell was held in high regard from that era but it wasn't like he projected into God type status universally until his death.

I can consider Slash a modern Rock god, even though his biggest commercial exposure was in the 80's.  Same with Reznor.  Rob Zombie is fantastic, but did he quit producing albums?
