Rolling Stone magazine "100 Greatest Guitar players"

I call BS on their stupid ass lists.  This one is the absolute worst.  I am a guitar player but you don't have to be to see through these ratings.

Man, I love Duane Allman but no way in hell is he the 2nd best guitar player of all time.  

I think they fuck these lists up on purpose so people will talk about them.

I mean Lou Reed ahead of Dickey Betts?  Joni Mitchell ahead of Randy Rhoads?  C'mon man!

I guess so but their is a 0% chance that Joni fucking mitchel is a better guitar player than the late great randy rhoads 

that is great that we both said joni mitchel over randy at the same time

 Yep........David Gilmour @ 82 is also a joke


 Randy Rhodes was great

I am a fan of the Ramones and Nirvana but fuck those guys were horrible live half the time. A few catchy punk tunes don't warrant top 20 on a guitar players list.. The same list that put Van Halen at #70??

Nice to see Robert Quine make the list but , the list is just hilarious .

The list works better if it's 'Most influential' instead of 'Best'...But even if it's an influential list you could still argue it sucks.

He might not be the 2nd, but he is in the top ten.I believe that you have to give xtra credit to those who are the 1st to create and do things.Xample Steve Ray,another top ten'er, but you can hear who he took his lead from.Some things can not be measured.If you are aware of ALL of Duane Allmans work, the short time he compiled it, the range, etc etc, i dont have problem with it.It's always a little easier to build a better mouse trap than to build the 1st.

I have not looked at the list yet but i'm past the point of caring how these people, most of whom are judging this without hearing live,and probably have not listened to the whole bodies of work, think.

Hell, now i'm not even gonna bother to look at the list.

You know those guiters that are like double guitars ? Who plays that ?

What like one Jimmy Page plays in the avatar above your post?? Those are called double necks, most will have a 12 string and a 6 string, some will be a 4 string bass instead or even an mandolin, custom made for the players. Page would be the one most famous that plays that, as well as  the guy from Cheap Trick.

Are you another ColdSnap alias ? how many do you have ?

I read this list years ago and closed it within a couple of minutes. Eddie Van Halen is easily top 10 of all time and they had him down by #80? Really? #80? For me he's easily top 5, and for most top 10.

What a sham.  Yet another "Top 100 Guitar Greats" list leaves me off it.


Ohhhh the humanity!!
