100 greatest guitarist

[G.Love]

Rolling Stone has got to be out of their f***ing minds!!!
 
 Kurt Nobrain @ #12!!!
 Fat Boy Jerry Garcia @ #13!!!
 
 these and others ahead of Eddie VanHalen (#70) and David Gilmour (#82). Edge could have been a little closer to the top as should G. Harrison!!
 
 What a load of crap!

i saw Jeff Beck and BB KIng at wolftrap the other nite...it was a really good show
 
 I didn't even know that kurt cobain played guitar..i thought he just carried it around with him on stage like Bono, but could not actually play...
 
 this is a pretty dumb list

 I read the review that seemed to slag J. Beck for making a bunch of noise until he played "People get Ready" and 'A day in the Life"  but BB on the other hand, he is a blues guitar God!!!

The notable absence of Yngwie Fucking Malmsteen discredits the entire endeavor.

[sonickteam2]

yeah, the list sucks
 
    I guess Les Paul couldnt have been any better than 46, even though 1/2 of that list probably played his guitars!
    Tom Morello, Eddie Van Halen, and Gilmour were also robbed.
   
   But its nice to know that Ike Turner is a better guitarist than Van Halen, Gilmour and Randy Rhodes.  go Ike.  what?

It should read "100 Greatest ROCK Guitarists."
 
 The list seems rather blues-heavy.   A lot of fusion greats are missing, too.   Link Wray was a good addition, IMHO.
 
 Anyway...where's Denny Dias?

in fact, they left out Joe Satriana and Steve Vai....apparently they forgot the whole hair band guitarist guy thing altogether....clearly, not much thought really goes into this.
 
 and who are the Voidods?

Richard Hell & The Voidoids

[markie]

Who are the voidoids?
 
 What a question.
 
 
 Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine were friends and formed Television together. Hell left before Television recorded much or got famous. He started his own band Richard Hell and the Voidoids. Their first album blank generation is a corker. Songs off of it often seem to be played before shows.
 
 
 Why is there no Johnny Marr of the Smiths?

[kosmo vinyl]

or john squire

[kosmo vinyl]

or steve jones
 
 (i guess launching a whole genre doesn't count)

[sonickteam2]

Robert Quine?  Voidoids?  tell me this all happened before i was born.
 
    Television, i know.  Voidoids, never heard of them....
 
    and i thought my indie card was revoked a long time ago.
