[SilentNightThrobbongNight]

[The_Children_of_Decadence]

Tom Morello?

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

that honestly is the worst list i have ever seen

 

[soulterashaun]

Yeah, I have that issue and there's a lot of things wrong with that list. Mostly its a popularity contest, little is based on actual talent. And yeah, Mike and Chris definitly shoulda been on there, I'd put Jeff Loomis on there as well...but its not MY list to make.....it's the magazine trying to please the "cool" crowd.


Arch Enemy was in that issue.....but it was an article about them...and there was a poster.....needless to say I just bought the issue for that


OH yeah, and this is my first post.......but it seems I've been registered since like November 2002......I guess I just never posted anything and forgot about this sweet-ass messageboard....

I think we should write a letter to RS, telling them that Jimi Hendrix is nothing special, he did a little bit for the evolution of music, but thats it. If they are going to boast "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" than for christs sake, DO IT RIGHT THE FUCKING FIRST TIME!!!!

 

[Hammer of Might]

The list is shit.

 

[Pita Bread]

See where Nirvana and the White Shits are? You see it? CROSS THAT SHIT OUT with a permanent marker, and write in "Dave Murray" and "Adrian Smith."

 

[Profanity]

The list is shit.

You do state the obvious.
