Rolling Stone's 100 Guitarists...
Have you people seen this list? I agree with some, but there are some flat awful guitar players on that list!! I won't name names 'cause I really don't care to get everyone into ANOTHER "who's better" pissing match. Oooops, too late! And who the hell ARE half of these guys?

Haven't seen it but I know I won't like it. Probably Hendrix is on top, right?
I don't know, there's a lot of great guitar players and I just don't think it proves anything to rank them.

I saw a comparison to Mojo mag's list from a few years back. IIRC:
[code] Mojo RS ------------------ ---- ---- Steve Cropper 2 33 Peter Green 3 36 [/code] 'nuff said? Nice to see Ry Cooder break the top 10, though. I think BB King was #2... Daf

i was talking about this....
...with a non-musician friend and we have come to the conclusion that half if not all "best of lists" are compiled by mostly ignorant people who lean toward the flavor of the week even the mainstream guitar mags are grossly out of whack case in point a few months back they had in "guitar world" a top ten list of every genre more than a few guitarists who they interviewed made reference to Billy Gibbons as an influence but he made niether the classic rock or the blues list , i can't remember the exact people on all th lists but it was laughable on most accounts....all that said i like to look at them.....

Actually, I think the White Stripes guy made the top 20! Perhaps I'll wipe my ass with that Rolling Stone....

Lists like that are fucking lame... Its just the opinion of a few people, nothing more...
Unless it was compiled by the masses... Even then, theres alot of stupid people out there with alot of stupid opinions... Top 10 best colors... blue?... red?.... green?... green might be a sleeper... purple can be cool too.... yellow, what can be said about yellow?.... is white a color?

Steve Vai and Joe Satriani are not even on the list, and the White Stripes guy is # 17? Van Halen was like # 70 or something. Granted, not everyone is impressed with Vai, Joe & Eddie, but couldn't an untrained monkey realize these guys are FAR superior players? "Tech" is not all that counts I agree, but let's use some common sense for the love of God. Maybe their retarded list should've been "The guitarists from the top 100 projects we like". You like Zepplin's music, they we're a huge success, so obviously Jimmy must be one of the greatest of all time (just an example, not bashing Jimmy). You don't like Steve Vai's non-commercial songwriting, so he must suck. Give me a break....I'm done bitching, that poll and all like it are pointless crap anyway.

Man I hope that Bruce Cockburn is on that list. He may be a fogey, but if anyone has ever heard his stuff in the last 10-15 yrs, and if anyone has ever watched him play it live, you would be stunned at his prowess on the instrument.

I remember a review during Mountain's heyday (am I f$%^ing old or what?) where they called Leslie West "probably the greatest living American guitarist" or some such crock. Now that he's reduced to the bar circuit, they probably left him out altogether. Probably appropriate - some seriously limited chops there... Daf (where's McLaughlin? Where's my Johnny??? Ohh, the HUMANITY!!!!)

 where's my jimmy page? he WAS number 2 on some list a while back....hell, I don't even like Hendrix anymore..sure he was an innovater, but I mean IMHO Page had better chops/knowledge than Hendrix....I believe only reason Hendrix was nubmer 1 is cuz he was black and got big in the 60's and he died young...but again thats my own opinion...

Man, I think you're way off target on the race thing. If being black were an advantage, why haven't other black players been able to crack the rock market?
Page could play well enough. But Hendrix redefined the instrument. You may be right on the death thing, though - if Clapton had died right after Cream or Blind Faith or D&D, or if Page had died right after the last Zep album, numbers might have been way different. Daf

What does "best" mean?
I'll bet Andres Segovia, Chet Atkins, Eric Johnson aren't on that trendy list. Anyone who says they aren't near the top of being "best" is woefully uninformed and narrowly focused. rpe

Opening the vents.
I personally didn't see the list, but (As usual) I'm sure Rolling Stone has it's head so far up it's ass that it's gonna disappear into itself and reappear in some distorted parallel universe..., You know, the Bizzaro world where Averil *Laviegne REALLY IS Punk. It's insulting that the various media attempt to feed us thinly veiled commercial's in the form of lists and countdowns.. Not to mention the completly insane award shows!! (For Christ's sake just have a fucking investors banquet and skip the overblown "Talent" show huh Emp-TV?... I need a fucking award for not snapping after seeing the same bullshit video 5 times an hour!!) It would have proved far more interesting to ask each of the hundred guitar players who THEY THINK are the best instead of some fools craping together a blow off list the equivalent of a sitcom clip show!! P.S. Don't even burn that Rolling Stone... You might accidently inhale the fumes!!

VanHalen is #70?
Good Lord! What is this world coming to! I think the list is pretty screwed up. Probably the list was complied by someone in their 50s or 60s who's only familiar with the old Rock players. This list is a sham. I am of the firm opinion that new players blow guitar players from the 70s era. This largely due to improved ergonomics of the guitar and better amplification systems. And most players are completely overated. Eric Clapton? I have seen 12 year olds at GuitarCenter play better than most people on this 100 list.
