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.

STEVE VAI....he should be number 1. well maybe 2 because his main influence was jimi hendrix. joe satriani is good to. that list is so fucked.

if you want to see an AMAZING non-picking guitar solo, watch some hendrix, beats the crap out of everyone else. go to best buy or somewhere and get the Band of Gypsys DVD or Blue Wild Angel (Isle of Wight) DVD. peace, i gotta get back to my hendrix

^Don't bother, it's like talking to junior high kids about complex scientific theories. You just end up going 'What the hell do you think you're talking about' over and over again. And I stand by what I said, I have never heard anything from White or Cobain that will make me even consider the possibility that either should be higher than, oh, Steve Vai, the guy just mentioned. Or about 150 other guitarists that occur to me off the top of my head.

Yes, but a retarded monkey with alzheimer's could have put Hendrix #1. It's bloody obvious. But they saw NOTHING AT ALL WRONG with Eddie Van Halen sitting at #72? I mean... seriously. These people should be assassinated.

what did i ever say about steve vai? i think steve vai should be top three at least if not second behind hendrix, and satriani and johnson too, but kurt cobain and jack white should be there too...just because they dont do fucking high pitched crazy note picking guitar solos, does not mean they are/were not great guitarists

i dont mean to disrespect, but Kurt didnt show a lot of skill, there's a difference between a good sounding band and good sounding guitar and guitar greatness. White, now thats just retarded. there is no reason white should even be top 100. his riffs are extrememly simple and EXTREMEMELY repetitive, each of his songs is just one riff basically, repeated over and over with very slight, if any, changes.

No, it's because they do nothing particularly useful that they shouldn't be there. Cobain was a much better writer than a guitar player, and White... well, I can't think of anything that White does well enough to put him on ANY all time list. And considering the absence of Steve Vai, Satriani, Alex Lifeson, Yngwie Malmsteen, Django Reinhardt, Eric johnson, Steve Morse, Phil Keaggy, Lowell George, Johnny Winter, Kerry Livgren, Chet Atkins, Mick Taylor, Russ Hammond, Leo Kottke, Paco de Lucia, Andres Segovia... the list goes on. If these guys didn't make the list, how the hell are those two in such high spots, or ON here at all? I'm also Irritated that joan Jett is on there whereas Nancy Wilson isn't. If they wanted a female guitarist...

j.d may did you just say that eddie van halen is good at playing the guitar. all that guy did (other than suck) was put the guitar on his lap and poke the strings. i dont play the guitar and i bet im better than him. the grateful dead suck and play the plainest music i have ever heard and i am amazed that they were famouse. and j.d may once again im going to say it, go die.

Am I missing out on Britney Spears and Linkin Park? Ludacris and Justin Timberlake? AFI, NOFX, G2G, whatever. Am I missing out on their music?

Wow. WOW! WwOwwow... I'm in shock and need medical attention. Did that guy just say he was better than Van Halen? ASIODFG:YH:SDNGVOEIHUPHGVRUGBISGRUEGB....ok, I'm fine now. Just needed a minute there. So anyways, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING!?!? You just destroyed every bit of credibility you may or may not have possessed. Go download Spanish Fly and listen to it. It won't take long, it's only a minute. All plucked, since it's acoustic. Then try to tell me you're better than him, you utter retard. Wow... if I still had a hall of fame, that would have gone in it. I won't forget that post soon... 'I'm better than Van Halen'. Wow. just...wow. I'm still in shock.
