Hell yeah....Im so happy...Opeth #36 heaviest band of all time...!!!!

magazines are too capitalist. all their doing is catering to the masses. the majority of people that read rolling stone are people who dont know a whole lot about music so these people dont want to see a bunch of bands or musicians who they havent heard of, they'll feel left out. out of the loop. now jimmy page, they've heard him on the radio. they can relate and compare, get angry cause their favourite guitarist, jack white isnt as high up as him. they cant relate to malmsteen or vai. they wouldnt have the patience to go to a music store and buy a cd, or go on the internet and find a song. besides, even if they did listen to that 'caliber' of music, they wouldnt understand. who cares though, the more popular metal gets the more watered down it gets. i wish i was a teenager when yes, jethro tull, genesis(with peter gabriel), king crimson were on the radio all the time. those would've been the days
 
I think they gave Hendrix the top spot, which only proves how overrated that man is. Don't get me wrong, he knows his way around an axe, but there are better...
 
Christ. Sabbath was #1.

Is it really not that obvious?

And we had a discussion about that list in SoT.

Everyone basically agreed that the list was a piece of dog shit.

The best yet was Chuck getting "#20" on "Guitar world's 100 best metal guitarists"...After they went through all the critically acclaimed/widely favored legends such as jimi page, toni iommi, kirk hammett, dimebag darrel, zakk wylde, randy rhoads etc...they went to Chuck first out of the whole underground based extreme metal. That's real cool of them to acknowledge Chuck like that, because he really was that good, if not good enough to be in the top 5.

Absolutely. More so in his latter years as "Symbolic", "The Sound of Perseverance", and "The Fragile Art of Existence" rolled around. He was at his peak before he passed away; the guitarists you mentioned had nothing over him when it comes to skill on the fretboard.

Tomorrow will mark three years since he succumbed to that awful tumor.

R.I.P. Chuck :headbang:

ya and just the thought of seeing korns guitarists over john petrucci is just another way of saying that the more popular a band the better the musicians......

and you could tell that it's bullshit because they listed the both of them together as one entry.

but indeed, that is one of the funniest things i've heard all day.

head: "hey munky, can you play the solo in the glass prison?"
munky: "pfft. n00b. (while playing Paganini's 5th Caprice with one hand and eating a sandwich with the other)"
 
i didn't steal it, i foudn it randomly on the internet...i thought i noticed someone with that picture right after i posted it in the poland forum...regardless, that is grandmaster hwarff. he is the law.
 
well yeah most of those lists are total bollocks...with one exception though:

hendrix.

of course many people can play much better, much faster than him and they can compose much better, much more complex songs than he did. but look at everything in context:

go back to 1966-1967. he re-invented the electric guitar...and the only things he listened to were some blues like muddy waters, the beatles and some chuck berry.

consider the wide range of capabilities and opportunities that guitarists after his time had...

still i firmly believe no one can play like he does. especially his own songs.
 
...................
12 Kurt Cobain of Nirvana
16 Johnny Ramone of the Ramones
17 Jack White of the White Stripes

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? I didn't see the list, I'm going to check it now.

any of those lists, for best guitarists, or best bands, are the biggest fucking joke on the planet.

ex:
12 Kurt Cobain of Nirvana
16 Johnny Ramone of the Ramones
17 Jack White of the White Stripes

????????

and these should be a lot higher:
55 Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple
70 Eddie Van Halen (hahahaha, are you fucking serious?)
85 Randy Rhoads
86 Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath

and i don't care what anyone says, hendrix is not the best guitarist ever.

God damn it, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Dimebag Darrell, Jerry Cantrell, Malmsteen and a big etc of GOOD GUITARRISTS are missing...fuck.
But of course we can have the mediocrity of Cobain, The Edge, Jack White.
Have Rolling Stone EVER listen to music?

\m/

aaaarrrrrrggghhh! i hate rolling stone!
ANY list that has jack white on it = immediate loss of credibility. Never before have I heard such sloppy playing. If I see him here in Nashville, I'll punch him the face for y'all.
 
^awesome! i liked your "beer party" post in the christmas thread. i was going to say something but forgot. so, anyway, it's official: you, Decadent, and me like beer.

dammit! yngwie represents everything wrong with guitar! he's the consummation of the ideal that if you can play blindingly fast, you're automatically not just an awesome guitarist, but an awesome musician as well. my friend though malmsteen was brilliant because "he can make an entire song out of sweep arpeggios." i wanted to destroy him right there. doesn't anyone realize that sweep arpeggios are just chords that are shredified?
