RS Top 100 guitarists[views:2980][posts:11]________________________________ [Sep 14,2003 4:16pm - retzam ""] Am I the only one here that reads the Rolling Stone? Anyway if anyone else does than you would have heard this already. They did an article on the top 100 guitarists of all time. Obviously I wouldnt expect Abbath or Mikael Åkerfeldt/Peter Lindgren or Dan Swanö or anyone from the death/black metal scene to be in there, but seriously it was awful. I thought Dave Murray/Adrian Smith had a chance of getting in there, but nope. Listen to who else didnt get in: Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, John Lennon, Slash, and tons of others. Instead, Kurt Cobain, Johnny Ramone, and Jack White all got top 20 spots. Here is a little sample: Angus Young-96, Eddie Van Halen-70, Jack White-17????? What the fuck? |

Okay Rolling Stone here's how you might as well have put it: Top 10 Guitarists of All Time: 10. Alan Thicke (for composing the Three's Company Theme) 9. The guy from Green Day 8. Some guy I saw once in the park st. redline station with a guitar and a portable PA and my friend called him a dildo. 7. The guy from Living Color (black metal reprezent) 6. Sean Delay - Letters from the Dead 5. Wes Borland - Limp Bizkit 4. Brenden Fraizer in Airheads 3. the kid who wrote the Superbowl is Gay song 2. Tom Coucher - Halo Suffocation Machine 1. LARS ULRICH |

| _______________________________________ [Sep 15,2003 12:39pm - christopher ""] i would love to beat up Jack White. it would be all over MTV and everything.that guy is shit, and so is that sick beast that plays shitty beats. shitty shit shit. but think about it? kicking the shit out of Jack White would be incredible. i read an interview with him, and he puts down some of the most amazing guitarists, saying that "they dont deserve to be legends". but let me guess, that piece of shit does? plus it makes me mad how a 2 piece, ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE excuse for song/songwriting, has made those 2 assholes millions. and its even worse that people eat their shit up. so we should all come together, and go to the next white stripes show that is in the New England area, and when Jack doesnt expect it, bitch slap that prick. |
