Rolling Stones 100 Top Guitarists Of All Time...the list

[wahwah]

Hi,
Firther to FH's story regarding Zakk Wylde dissin' the list from Rolling Stone magazine, thought we'd better see what the list was. Ed's like way near the end. Is there anybody in the list you think shouldn't be or any that aren't there that should. I don't think Kirk Hammett should be in there at all as I've never been a fan but there ya go. Flame me! This could run forever!

If this list was on paper I would wipe my ass with it [img]images/smilies/icon_mad.gif[/img]

Just goes to show that Rolling Stone doesn't have a fucking clue. Bunch of Starbucks slurping posers [img]images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Hey Everyone:

Looking at this...it's actually funny..they can't be serious, about this list...whoever wrote this, probably does not know what a guitar looks like...

Cheers !

Taken from an interview with Jason Becker

11. Rolling Stone's recently "Top 100 Guitarists Of All Time" had Eddie Van Halen at #70. What do you think about that and where would you have ranked Eddie?

Jason - Wow, he got completely ripped off. I would put him number one or, at least in the top five.

Heres a link to the full interview if you havent read it yet becker interview

[mab8485]

How the fuck could someone rate ike turner before eddie?!?!?!?!?!

[frozenfury]

[frozenfury]

I could be going blind but I dont see VAI's name on the list, hes got a freakin P.H.D what more do they want. Kury cobain at 11 (does this mean if I kill myself and play barred chords I to can be on the list).
