Rolling Stone's NEW 100 Greatest Guitarists list
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/li...rists-20111123
I know that lists like these are typically shit. Especially Rolling Stone's lists. But this...this is just inexplicably bad. For instance, how is it that James Hetfield is #88 on this list, but Kirk Hammett didn't even make it on to the list? I don't know if Hetfield was on the original list from a few years ago (the one that had Eddie Van Halen in the 70s or 80s), but I'm pretty sure Hammett was very close to Top 10 on that one. It says that he was part of the voting here, so you could make the argument that he was excluded for that reason. Until you realize that both Joe Perry and Tom Morello were also part of the voting and are each on the list. This is just mind-boggling, and I'm one that thinks Kirk Hammett is slightly overrated most of the time. That's just one issue with this list. There are many others to be found. |

Actually no. Or at least I haven't for quite some time. Someone posted this on another messageboard earlier today. Apparently someone still reads Rolling Stone for some reason.

this list is really bad, santana at 20, nothing but men, nothing but dinosaurs from 10 on. it's like Rolling Stone decided they were going to just be the champion of Dinosaurs and said to hell with everything else.
Absolutely no Carrie Brownstein, who made the last list, Kurt Cobain and Jack White are better guitarists than Thurston Moore, J. Mascis, Dick Dale and Tom Verlaine? Eat shit, Rolling Stone, seriously. I love how Lou Reed and James Hetfield are on this list. |

like, how do you put BB KIng and John Lee Hooker on this list with a straight face. I mean obviously it's supposed to be rock musicians but they put blues guys on it like it matters. I mean what about all the classical fucking gutarists you goddamn creeps

RS just cranks out these lists every couple of months to boost sales. total bullshit and predictably full of dinosaurs as trots said.
isle's high alternative top guitarist list for the nu millenium (in no order, because fuck that): wes borland matt bellamy jack white jonny greenwood gary lucas jeff buckley som wardner kaki king kelli rudick st. vincent robin guthrie johnny marr carrie brownstein (i guess, since trots won't shut up about it) duke erikson steve marker beck robert smith the guy from deerhoof... john something josh homme prince nick zinner frank zappa whoever used to write the prodigy's guitar parts slipknot guys staind guys korn guys, probably omar rodriguez black rebel motorcycle club jonny buckland (yes, from coldplay. fuck you) guitarist from rolo tomassi primus god is an astronaut noodle (gorillaz) graham coxon bloc party dave mcpherson (inme) honorable mention: joanna newsom (not a guitarist but there isn't a "100 greatest harpists" list and she deserves credit for consistently kicking ass with a stringed instrument. here at Isle Publications, we think outside the box). and many many more. |

Isle your idea of "high alternative" is inexplicably tainted with total bullshit all over it

ok, tell me exactly why you think matt bellamy is a bad guitarist/musician. listen to literally any guitar riff he has written - plug in baby, hysteria, stockholm syndrome, muscle museum, knights of cydonia - and explain to me how they don't completely kick ass and are far more creative than what virtually any other known rock guitarist in the world is doing right now. if your reply has anything to do with tired (and musically illiterate) claims that bellamy rips off rage or radiohead, then you have no place in this discussion. he is also a godly piano player- see interlude of 'butterflies and hurricanes'. ed: the only thing that sucks about muse are the majority of the lyrics, and matt's once-heard-never-unheard sharp intake of breathe just before every time he sings. |

how the fuck do we have one guy trying to convince us that Matt Bellamy is a notable musician, and this other idiot telling us that Neil Young, Paul Simon, George Harrison, and Peter Buck aren't worth mentioning?
you guys have shit tastes |

Anthony Kiedes not being on there is a pretty big travesty.

Neil Young is one of the most distinctive and influential players in any genre Paul Simon is, again, easily one of the most recognizable and widely emulated guitarists |

also Nils Lofgren, never mentioned on any list of top guitarists, maybe the most underrated player in rock music

the most annoying breed of guitar people are the ones who think ability to play fast and accurately makes the best player

actually that is the only positive thing about this list... it steers away from boring, mindless speed guitarists and so called virtuosos like malmsteen (sp? who gives a fuck) and satriani and bullshit like that

i'm putting way too much effort into this given that your next reply will probably be just as brief and uninsightful as your last. i get that a guy smoking a cigar in his avatar probably feels pretty self-assured, but you don't know what talking about- or listening to, apparently. ed- and simon / young are not great guitarists by the same definition. legendary songwriters certainly, but i wouldn't say they've written any defining, totemic guitar pieces that anyone can recognise- they are rightly remembered as songwriters first, guitarists second. and that nils lofgren clip was just as self-indulgent and vacuous as any other show-off guitar solo i've heard. just because he's not shredding, and instead playing slowly with "feeling" or "soul" (as inarticulate people often put it) doesn't mean he's any more tasteful or emotionally connective than any of those other guys. a solo is only powerful if it is played in a powerful song, and has the concise lyrical quality you find in solos like stairway, or classic pumpkins. bleh. |
