Jesus fucking christ these people make me wonder. How can Jack White of the white stripes get number 17 when mark knopfler gets number 27. That is obscenely rediculous. Trey got seventy-fucking-three! Thats absurd. Keith Richards and Kurt Cobain beat fucking Jerry man! Why. Cobain is an amazing artist overall but there is no way in hell that he shoul dbe beating Garcia, ever. The Edge, of U2 beat mark knopfler...do you have any idea how much of an assraping that is? Wow... Atleast they got one thing right, Jimi is #1.

i dont get were people say curt cobain was an amazing player. all he songs are easy to play, no big skill involved there. i think his writing/composing skill were good, but not his guitar playing

Is this list based on skill, because I garantee you there are tons of people that have more talent and skill then Hendrix, ever heard people play classical guitar or flamenco.

the list is the worst list i've ever seen.

sooo many good guitarists aren't on there.

god damn't...Curt Cobain being up there pisses me off. all the nirvana kids at my school are going to be bragging about that.......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.


the list should have been titled '100 most influentel guitarists.' THen the list would have made sense.






Me: Yeah, all the hicks and stuff in are school make in the hallway its gross.
Sisters bf: Well, they don't care. Their not leaving town, their just like 'Fuck it.'
Sister: Yeah, thats how i feel about law school right now, 'Fuck it, make out in the hallway.'

sugarloafer has it right. and did you ever notice that on these top whatever lists, the big name in music or tv or whatever is always higher upthen they should be? like jack white, or when everybody had like movie stars of the millenium a few years ago, people like jimmy stewart and carey grant were behind people like jim carrey and freddie prinze jr. all E! and mtv want to do is sell records for the artists they love, so they jerryrig the lists. it pisses me off and makes me feel stupid, like they think i wont catch it. Buddy Guy at #30??? dumb. Kurt Cobain- VERY influental, but not the maestro of the instrument that someone like santana or slash are.

sorry for the rant, but this dumb list shit has been bugging mefor a while.

I thought the list was pretty decent coming from a guitarists point of view. Im glad jeryy was 13 or whatever. Jack white deserves the number he got. He may not be the most technical but he is pretty original and he gets a great sound for not having a bassist. You guys are stuck in the past. Sure Page is great and so is angus young but the list is made by rolling stone and they needed some young hip people on the list so get over it that the people you wanted didnt get the spot you think they deserve. And obviously most of you know very little about guitar so keep it shut.

Yep, that solo just blew me away. Playing the melody except for varying a couple notes was amazing. I could be wrong, because yes I have only heard like 5 songs by The White Stripes, but show me something that makes that me agree with Rolling Stone.

No, he's right. Cobain and White DON'T deserve those spots.

I dont care whether you think Cobain is overrated or not, it doesnt matter, he is a damn good guitar player, and song writer. There is a reason why people like him, and its not because he has breasts.

Kurt and Jack White dont deserve those spots? What is wrong with them....Kurt Cobain started a whole fucking style of music, not very many people can make his kind of music sound good anymore...but he did

I agree with uhhno, JD may, i know harvey says you know everything, but you really dont

I'm glad Jimmy Page made the top 10. But Skodeo, I've got to agree. Garcia should be at least top 15, and Trey he should be up there around top 20.

Do you have idea what their criteria was?

Im even surprised they rated Jimmy Page in the top 10, cuz Rolling Stone really hated on Zeppelin back in the day. They ripped every single zep album. Page should be top 5 tho, no question.
