The Rolling Stones

---

you got your heart in the right place, but you need to learn more about music. Hendrix is respected b/c there was noone like him then...he was a visionary persay, so he will always be #1...Halen is amazing but he came after hendrix and the line of events...

I agree with Purple on this one. That list is laughable. Curt Cobain? please. And where the heck is Phil Keaggy who was voted by Guitar Player magazine (a much more authoritative source on the matter than Boring Stone) voted as one of the three best guitarists in the world.There is this common wisdom that says Jimmie Hendrix was the best guitarist in the world and either the Stones or the Beatles were the best band. It's like sacred cows. Debate closed down. Anyone who questions those assertions are told they don't understand music or don't have historical perspective or whatever. Does the fact that Hendrix preceded Eddie chronologically make him the better musician? I don't think so. Once again, there's not much room for people who think outside of the box.Paper's still not getting done...

wow....I am going to cry for you two....so sad....

Don't cry for me Walken-tina.
Just open your mind a bit.

hehe Walken-tina.. sorry made me chuckle. I think I have a new nickname for Jon lol.I dunno I also liked to hear Santana play the guitar. But that's me LoL.

In reply to: I agree with Purple on this one. That list is laughable. Curt Cobain? please. Curt Cobain is always overated. If Layne Stanley had commited suicide at the height of his fame then Alice In Chains would be a more revered band than Nirvana.

I think Robbie Krieger from the Doors is one of the most underrated guitarists.

That list is so one note. Where are folks like Christopher Parkening and Roy Clark and even Les Paul for Pete's sake?Boring Stone is a very narrow-minded rag.

Those people there who rate the talent and people....pity for them i bet they have not even been to one of their concerts let alone seen them actually play their moving songs.

I didnt click the stones list, but the other, its not a list of great guitarts its a list of great guitar solos.certainly you can give cobain credit for one great solo cant you ?he changed the face of music for fuck sakes, nirvana was big before he was dead.any list has to include SRV, B.B. King, Hendrix, Calpton, Randi Rhodes, KWS, Tommy Bolin, and if you are to include bass, Cliff Burton. SO long as you have them on the list the rest dont really matter as the greats are covered.

shakes chances handthank you...

Kurt Cobain was good but not he was more of a singer type then like a true guitarist. Van Halen and Jimmy Page Angus Young and Randy Rhoads could like own Hendrix in a "Call-and-Respone" match any day any time

please refresh my memory...what do you call a true guitarist.We shall use James Hetfield...James Hetfield is regarded as one of the best guitars to play. It is not b/c he can solo like no other but b/c he can make the most insane riffs and sing while doing it. Kurt Cobain may not have been a hendrix, but they made some pretty kick ass riffs and I can tell you this that in every band they all have a say in the solos to say that it is not his ability is wrong.For someone that plays guitar I thought you would have known that...

an your point would be what ? that they could play ?
agreed.
the fact that they could play does not detract from Cobains sucess, or the fact that he forever changed the face of music.
He may of not been the greatest guitarist, so fucking what?
He was still one of the greats.

Look again Chance.
The list I was referring to (the second one) was a list of best guitar players, not solos.
Why are we having this discussion on two different threads?

lol damien i dont know...im only posting on that one now!

fyou know I was confused about that, I replyed to it once, then I did it again in another thread then I couldnt figure out why it was under the stones i thought it had its one thread then I said fuck it, Im gonna go get my hair cut.Its freally depressing to wack 6 inches off your hair, it needed it, I was recently on fire and it took 6 inches to fix it. Of course its still lays near my nipples when Im standing up as to why I was aflame...falming shooters, drunks that stumble, spillage...... Im sure Im not the only one stupid enough to do this, in fact it wasnt my first time aflame nor will it be my last, not wiht my drunk ass buddies..

guys and their music...

In reply to:guys and their music... ahahahaha you are too cute...lol
