200 greatest guitarists in rock

[iwontrest]

You bucketface fans sure do get testy huh?

I don't think Slash deserves to be that high on the list. He's not really THAT good, he's average. I feel sorry for Izzy Stradlin. Everybody thinks Slash is so good and nobody pays any attention to him. Tom Morello I don't think is that good either, He relies to heavily on distortion for his solos. Also Matt Bellamy and John Petrucci should be higher. And Kirk Hammet should be here. I could go on...

Are these qualities something that you're claiming Page doesn't have? I mean he's certainly had impact, especially when it's considered that he was in the most powerful rock band in history, and probably influenced just as many if not more young musicians than Hendrix did. He had innovation, his use of unorthodox style's around the 'Houses of the Holy' and 'Physical Graffiti' era was nothing short of groundbreaking. I guess I'm just not seeing where he's a lacking candidate for #1. Not to mention the solid fact's that Page has played on much more material and had a longer career.

Yeah I need to update this. There's really no excuse for Tom Verlaine to be up there but not Richard Lloyd.

[Owen]

because he wasn't nearly as good of a guitarist. Not even close to as prolific either. Was he a better bluesman? MAYBE. Guitarist? Gimme a break.

You would put Ed Mundell and Eddie Glass in before Josh Homme? He might be a little full of himself, but Josh Homme completely created desert rock with Kyuss. He was really young when Kyuss was in their prime and later went on to achieve commercial success with one of the most dynamic rock acts. He simply shits on others in his genre and is a great modern guitarist.

God, Fu Manchu brings tears of laughter to my eyes. How they ever achieved success with that ignorant prick and his formulaic riRAB I'll never know.

Got to have Angus and Malcolm Young on 2 separate nurabers there.

Jack White is actually talented. Meg isn't.

[Weeble Wobble]

regardless of genre, Dan Jacobs is under rated.
