Rolling Stone 100 Greatest Guitarists

I've always thought Dimebag was overrated but not THAT overrated, definately belongs somewhere on the list.

I just want someone to explain to me how Kurt motherfucking Cobain made the list while David Gilmour came in at #82.

If he only played Time, Money, and Comfortably Numb he'd still be better than most of the people on this list.

If Ted Nugent couldn't out-play someone, he'd probably strangle the other guy and gut him with his bare hands right there on stage.

Keith Richards is the #1 rhythm player if you ask me.

Every new guitar player practices by playing boring-ass scales over and over.
Slash does it and calls it a solo. That's why he's not on the list.

When I first heard someone tell me that, I thought it was the biggest crock of bullshit I ever heard.

Every Rage song DOES sound the same... if you need to read the lyrics to tell them apart that pretty much makes his point. I don't get how Tom Morello gets to be #26. What exactly did he pioneer? He plays riffs, whoopee... if Zeppelin and Sabbath and countless others hadn't been doing that since he was a fetus maybe he'd be a pioneer.

Technically George Harrison wasn't exceptional. Everybody on this list can PLAY what he wrote but I'd like to see most of these people on this list try to come up with it themselves.

THANK YOU!!! Yngwie Malmsteen (and that whole "school" of guitar-playing) spews forty-seven billion notes in like three seconds. It's utterly incredible from a technical standpoint. Musically, it's about as melodic as when you hold down all of the keys on your keyboard at once and your computer starts repeating that DING sound.

Nevertheless... they belong on the list.
