[Celestial-Todd]

That list is wrong... and you're all too blame!

 

[Goreripper]

What would you know? You're a drummer.

 

[Winmar]

Looks like a pretty bloody good list to me.

 

[salty]

Now thats more fucking like it.

Email that to every magazine that has ever run one of those fucked up stupid lists!

 

[spawn]

Our list kicks ass So when do you do the top 100 metal albums Gorey?

 

[Spiff]

I can't believe Randy Rhoads beat CC DeVille.



I'm content with that list.

 

[dreamwatch]

I'm not content with Brian May's position, please make him higher. Thankyou.

 

[Bucko]

thats a good list is'nt huh .............

 

[The_Prisoner]

 

[KoichCPA]

I'm happy with that, Vai's nice and high

 

[The Amazer]

21. Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)
22. Kirk Hammett (Metallica)

my two favourite guitarists right next to each other

But, James Hetfield got higher than both, which is absolute bullshit! HAHA!

 

[spawn]

I want to know why KK and Glenn are so far apart

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Much better than the original list thats for damn sure.

 

[Aussie_Outlaw]

[color=#aoeooa]Hmmmm Lord Tim ain't gonna be happy.

I think he was expecting somewhere in the top ten.

:shifty:[/color]

 

[spawn]

I must have been 101 yeah?

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

That list is way better than the Rolling Stone one!

 

[The Amazer]

I think Randy Rhoads got the most CORRECT place, IMO

Jimmy Page should replace Adrian Smith,

Hammett go into 3rd, and Van Halen in 4th

 

[salty]

Jimmy Page = Completley Overrated IMO

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Me too Salty, along with Led Zep...
