these lists are always crap, but to put Nigel Tufnell on there is stupid. Especially above some wonderful guitar players. Come on, Nigel Tufnel a better metal player than John Petrucci???

I love Spinal Tap, but to put a fictional character on there is wrong.

[fettouhi]

I know ! Just look at the list. Pete Townshend a metal guitarist?!

and since when did jimi hendrix play metal?

[Ibateur]

Heh, Neil Young's there as well. Probably only because of AC/DC (joke!)

[davester1234]

hehe, in a shocking turn of events, ted nugent is apparently a better guitarist than Steve Vai....

LOL!

These lists are too funny!

These lists are humerous (nothing more) but to the general public, Nugent has more catchy and hum-able tunes and riffs than Vai. For example, you could play Cat Scratch Fever or Free for All on an amusement park ride and not annoy patrons... glen

for sure dude, I know.

I agree too, but to put Satch at number 77??? One of the things that really makes him popular to a diverse audience is his "catchy" melody lines. Other than a lot of his crazy, noises he gets out of his guitar, which are very cool, when I think of Joe, I think of melody.

Oh well....

21. Brian May (QUEEN)
ok , since when have queen been a metal band ?
that goes for most other bands too...it should be 'rock guitarists' , muppets

[AndersPGM]

simply laughable.


kirk on 2nd place...it certainly is mind boggling.

I´m looking forward to Guitar Players readers poll.
Supposed to be announced in April if I´m not mistaken.
A list all based on the readers view. But I don´t expect too much...lists like this tend to blow.

Hmm, when you approach it as a list of guitarists who had an influence on metal guitarists, it makes a bit more sense. However I think Kirk Hammett gets way too much attention to the point of overshadowing the mighty James Hetfield.

[Kev Brigden]

dammit

I think the general public shoud be banned from making any major decisions... I say let the guitarists rule the world!

definatly one of the best lists Ive seen. Granted there are a few people on there that shouldn't, and the order is a little off.

But most lists I come across (from magazines like rolling stone) are utter crap. This one at least had a large percentage of people who are actually talented. Alexi Laiho is not mentioned very often, even though he wails.
