Members 3shiftgtr Posted May 29, 2010 Members Share Posted May 29, 2010 The Rolling Stone list is fun. I'm not sure "fun" is the word that comes to mind...... That list is all about culture and not at all about actual music. But anyway.... The giant list of epic guitar players that exist now, are unsurpassed in the history of guitar. I mean {censored}, there are a plethora of guitarists doing ground breaking work that are soooo under the radar..... Ollie HerbertOz NoyNels ClineBill FrisellMarc RibotRobben FordMike KeneallyTuck AndressRalph TownerJohn Petrucci (o.k., not so under the radar)Pat Metheny (not so under either)Dean BrownKevin SheildsKurt RosenwinkleScot Hendersonand the list just goes on and on and on.....

Members Oldskool Texas Posted May 30, 2010 Members Share Posted May 30, 2010 I hate lists like this in the first place, as they seem to totally miss the point. It's art, ferchrissakes, not weightlifting. Moreover, since there's absolutely no criteria to any of this, it's pointless. I mean, what makes a guitarist "great," anyway? Tone? Solos? Speed? Emotion? Arrangement? Too much subjectivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members straycat113 Posted May 30, 2010 Members Share Posted May 30, 2010 Fun? That RS list was the biggest {censored}ing joke I have ever seen in my life by a bunch of clueless writers. Let me see how good my memory is but Randy Rhoades was something like #87 and Eddie Vanhalen #70 while Lou Reed #50, Jack White #24 and Kurt Cobain was something like #17. I know these are not dead accurate but close and this should be taken seriously. I was astonished that someone even knew who Danny Gatton was though he was in the 50s and anyone that has Cobain, White and Reed 30 to 60 places higher than Gatton ,Vanhalen and Rhoades should not be on a guitar forum but a Hip Hop or Tween Idol one as you know {censored} about guitar!
