Who's The Worst Guitarist Ever????????


I guess it's been done before, but I thought it was high time to discuss your favorite pick for the ABSOLUTE MOST TERRIBLE GUITARIST you've ever hated.

I'll kick it off with just a few of my fav's:

Jerry Garcia -Dead
Head - Korn
C.C. Deville - Poison
Curt Kobain -Nirvana
Ace Freeley - Kiss

That should set it up for the pre-holiday weekend!

SPEAK UP!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Who's The Worst Guitarist Ever????????


Well, there are many aspects to being a guitarist: technique, music writing, improvisation, etc.

For his improvisation and his musically captivating melodies, I actually like Jerry Garcia. The Jerry Garcia before he kicked his drug addictions, of course. If you saw him play after he stopped doing heroin it's a sad sight. He couldn't stop shaking. He could barely play.

My vote for worst guitarist goes to Neil Young. Same boring music, poor technique, etc.

Re: Who's The Worst Guitarist Ever????????


Is this about the worst, or the most overrated?

It all depends on the style they play and how they serve that...

Re: Who's The Worst Guitarist Ever????????


Glen,
Jerry had a HUGE following- very successful- but he was out-of-tune and had the weakest tone I've heard. I'll not compete with Dead-Heads, but I still think he's a lame player.
I was on side-stage at the Bottom Line with Ace with a friend's band and he was so trashed he dropped my friends Les Paul off the stage. (Friend played all solos on the
"Back in the New York Groove" album. He's a total burnout.

Ace Frehley never caught my attention. I like Kiss and all, but Ace is nothing special in my opinion. He's still good though. Jerry Garcia? I always thought he was a great player.

The opinion of whether or not a guitarist is good or bad is a matter of taste, not fact, so I henceforth dub this thread crap! lol

Both had/have drug and alcohol issues... but that doesn't dismiss their contribution in their early days and overall career... which is greater than any shred guitarist. Also, if you're talking songwriting you gotta remove Kobain from that list too. ...glen
