It's probably just me but... (regarding Rolling Stone 100 Greatest Guitarists list)

[Limelight]

Come on guys... Who cares about John Frusciante... Why the **** are Jack White and Johnny Ramone there?

Also, I thought that Steve Howe was higher last I checked.

I see my predictions were accurate to the letter.

I'm like ***king Nostradamus.

To defend Jack, he can play lead and rythem at the same time

Johnny invented the Punk Downstroke.

And I'll do a Hungryfreak:

Eddie Van Halen should be higher, this list sucks.

Chuck Berry should be lower, this list sucks.

Why they hell is Kurt Cobain on this list?!

WHERE IS BUCKETHEAD ROLLING STONE SUCXX

Eh... Maybe I shouldn't have bothered with this thread... there has been about 1 post so far that actually had to do with the topic I brought up in the first place.

And I'll do a Hungryfreak:

Oh, You did NOT just talk down about Chuck Berry around ME. *rolls up sleeves*

For Johnny, he pretty much invented punk and influenced most other punk bands and lots of metal bands.

I forget who said it, but someone said "The Rolling Stone has a man crush on Jack White."

RS is probably referring to songs like Snow for RHCP.

I haven't checked, but I hope that Alex Lifeson isn't high on the list. He's great, but his solos can be quite sloppy. And there are quite a few who perform live to a T. And Alex doesn't improvise much either, which is a setback as well.

Lifeson's not on the list at all, Rolling Stones has only put Rush on one list.

The "Dirty Pleasure" Bands. #1.

The thread will now have to be be locked for RS hate.

WTF! To quote a prediction, "ROLLING STONE SUCXX!"

And in regards to Lifeson, sloppy solos happen frequently to him live. Now, he may have been off that night, but when I saw them he had a few problems with some solos. The main reason that this bugs me is that he won't improvise! Even when he messes up on a part he doesn't try to make it sound better, while most great guitarists would.

Chuck Berry practically invented rock lead guitar, and easily should be higher than Eddie Van Halen. Johnny Ramone was placed on the list for the fact that his guitar part was revolutionary, the playing of three, four chords max during a song. Jack White is a guitar genius. The "bass" part in "Seven Nation Army"? All him. In addition, he is the only guitarist in the band unlike a certain Eddie Van Halen. Plus, he managed to get on the cover of RS with the Glimmer Twins.

I don't know if Jack White deserves to be as high as he is, but he indeed deserves to be on the list. When there is nothing but drums and guitar (and vocals), it's hard to make a song that doesn't sounds empty. Even live, the sounds don't seem empty at all. Jack has his own style and is more than just a good player.

The biggest problem i had with the list was it had Kim (I don;t know his last name) of soundgarden made it on the list.
