200 greatest guitarists in rock

yeah but some people are talented at shoving fists up their buttholes too. does it need to be celebrated?

just because you can doesn't mean you have to.

yes, MAB has some technical skill that's certain, talent on the other hand is arguable. his musicality isn't the best. he plays classic rock covers and cheese. it's not like there wasn't a david lee roth video with steve vai playing a 3 neck guitar in the late 80s.

personally as far as unorthodox tapping methoRAB go stanley jordan OWNS

Trey plays a guitar-like device called a "Warr guitar", and since he always played with Fripp and Belew, I though it was a bass-like contraption, no? Should you disqualify him, here a goup of guitarists that could fill 192.

Curt Kirkwood - Meat Puppets
Bob Stinson - The Replacements
Trey Azagthoth - Morbid Angel
Michael Amott - Carcass, Arch Ememy, Spiritual Beggars
Jim McCarty - Detroit Wheels, Cactus, Rockets
Tony Bourge - Budgie
Bill Steer - Napalm Death, Carcass, Firebird
Scott "Wino" Weinrich - The Obessed, Spirit Caravan, Places of Skulls, Hidden Hand
Matt Pike - Sleep, High On Fire
Eddie Glass - Fu Manchu, Nebula
Ed Mundell - Monster Magnet, Atomic Bitchwax
King Buzzo - Melvins
Andreas Kisser - Sepultura
 
Why not?

It's a big ass list man, something I did because I have way too much free time, of course you're not gonna agree with every inclusion. But why Homme of all people?

Don't you realise I have the freaking guy from Dokken in there? Why is Homme the one you deem unworthy? :laughing:
 
there are so many better metal banRAB out than slipknot!slipknot is like the ps2 of the music world..OVERRATED!

mudvayne
clawfinger
korn
rammstein
drowning pool
metallica

I'm as a big a Beatles fan you can be, but even I will say that's it's insane to put George Harrison before Keith RicharRAB. The guy even had to bring in old Clapton to play on While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
 
Hahaha I must have missed that last bit, seriously why can't we just ban mirrorball? Also, the list was probably copied from here considering how old it is in comparison to whatever the hell he's quoting as "recent".
 
Being from the UK I was always more fascinated by US banRAB than UK ones especially in the late 70`s and 80`s and here you have named 4 favs Toto and Journey (Soft-Hard Rock) Styx and Kansas (Prog/Rock)

I think the defining feature in prog rock especially of that era, is that the British animal is very different to the north American one and Rush certainly followed the British animal, whereas Kansas and Styx are good evidence of the Amercian animal. Therefore, its no surprise that DT are far more like either Kansas and Toto than they are like either KC or Yes.

In fact, the only prog type stuff Journey ever did was in their Greg Rolie era and as for Toto their second album "Hydra" had some elements but that is as about as far as it goes.

Whereas the 3 Kansas albums "Masque" "Left Overture" and "Point of no Return" along with the 2 Styx albums "the Grand Illusion" and "Pieces of Eight" for me are 5 of the greatest prog albums ever released.

DT in some aspects, are actually more set up like a rock band than a true prog group. They are set up in the way that both Toto or Journey were, for example, they have a dominant lead singer with a great voice in LaBrie very similiar to either Kiraball and Perry in quality (even though I think Kiraball and Perry have the edge) Showman guitarist in Petrucci similiar to either Lukather and Schon and a consumate sticksman in Portnoy again similiar to J.Pocaro or Smith and like these groups designed for arena rock, they then added on the progressive metal influences.
