Is there anyone who is truly 100% satisfied whenever a list that spans “all time” crops up? Of course not, there will always be a difference of opinion but now the Rolling Stone takes a shot at the 100 Greatest Guitarists OF ALL TIME!!!
It’s just sad, man!
OK, I don’t mind Jimi Hendrix being number 1 with a bullet or that Stevie Ray Vaughn is only 7th… But a few glaring errors appear thereafter, just off the top of my head, people I can’t believe didn’t make the list:
Yngwie Malmsteen
Joe Satriani
Steve Vai
Marty Friedman
People I can’t believe DID make the list:
Kurt Cobain
Kirk Hammett
Jack White
Ike Turner
Kim Thayil
Jeezus pleezus faithful readers, they have The Edge of U2 down in 24th, BEHIND the likes of Jack White and Kurt Cobain who have yet to show (or in Kurt’s case, ever will show) me any kind of guitar playing skills that will last the test of time… Who’d I miss? Who’d they miss? Oh, and dear Rolling Stone… If you were hurting for female guitar players so bad, did you have to put Joni Mitchell and Joan Jett above women like Bonnie Raitt and Jennifer Batten?
It’s true, 15 year old’s still edit the Rolling Stone…

I think Greg should remember to link Goldy next time as she agrees with his assesment of the so called 100 greatest guitarists truly shocking indeed.
Have I got to do everything for you people, have you no free will? I give you seriously hot, pressing subjects day in/day out and this is the thanks I get… Next time I’ll link you directly, heh
