#66, vernon reid of living colour! i love that band!
i like the way some people are such losers, they have to have their band name listed to help you remember them.
not too many women...like just 2! (we need more women guitar pickers!)
and where is Jonny Lang AND Trevor Rabin????
Tim Reynolds is a sick guitar player. Chris Flippin from Lagwagon is crazy good. Jake and Rob from Strung Out are really stinkin great too. Oh yea, Eddie Van Halen too.
lagwagon u gotta be crazy to even say that or thats the only band or piece on earth u ever heard, Those dudes u just mentioned dont even come close to beingon that list . Ok the dude from lagwagon is like number 123164547854 on the list.
If they're gonna put Kurt Cobain at #12, they need to at least put Neil Young at #11 ..not #83!
U have to read the articles surrounding each guitarists ranikng to understand thier reasoning. When i first saw the list I was like kurt doesnt deserve to be number 12 but, when I read there reason I agreed with them . But one thing i didnt like was that they had kurt on the list and no king buzzo from the melvins. The melvins where one of the main fources of influence behind grunge and king buzzo taught cobain how to play guitar. They used to be liek hey krut get lost but, kurt begged him to teach him. One more guy that was real influential and had a big following I didn't see listed was dave navaro. If u ask people who play guitar that grew up listeing to rock in the 80s and 90s what inspired them, to write heavy riffs with solos etc etc it would be Dave Navaro. I didn't see him on the list I could be wrong. Let me check , no hes not on thier iam right.
i like marty mcfly as my favorite. he played hewie lewis real good.
i think jimmy paige. >>now races to site to find if its true<<<
man. i was close. but not that close. he was #9. can't believe carlos santana is all the way back at 15. kurt cobain is beatin him at 12.
Kurt cobain??????????????pulease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Beating Carlos???? I gotta see this list again!!
my GOODNESS, if u can get a copy of Santana at Woodstocck(the original) listen to Soul Sacrfice....guy's amazaing.
U know the music of #2?
i would disagree cuz it's my generation. More bands and music types are in existence as well as more fans are around because of him. So while he clearly didn't have as much talent or soul as Santana i think he had more of a power to reach his generation.
yeah i almsot went to an Allman Brothers show last year. but i don't think that he is that great. Santana is the man though!!! like just his soul is in that music. i think of kurt as a tortured little boy. he's so sad. and b.b king and eric clapton?? much better than allman brothers.
Duane Allman is DEAD. He died in the early 70s b/c he got hit by a truck while on his motor cycle.
yeah but so is jimmy hendrix. well i guess they continue to play shows without him. obviously.
u need to listen to thier album, "Live at the Fillmore East".
to this day, my husband who is not a big music fan, thinks its the greatest live music colection hes ever heard. and he hears alot b/c of me playing all sorts of stuff.
is it the dude from ZEP?
I don't know. Josh Homme is my favorite guitarist tho.
