Gimme a 6-pack of Guinness and I will write you down a list of 100 guitarists in random order also.

All lists of guitarists from any genre should be topped by the Mighty Shawn Lane!

Rest in Peace Shawn, We Love You!

I actually think this is one of the most seeminly accurate "lists" a metal mag. has ever put out.  The list is alright with me.

But remember, this is just the opinions of a few, and I don't think it was done at random, actually, i know it wasn't.

Weren't you the guy from the other thread who said that Van Halen seem like a bad joke ... and you don't know Shawn Lane? I suggest you brush up on your knowledge of (metal) guitarists before you make such bold statements.

I used to read that rag so i have that issue. A few things that I noticed:

This was the first list by a rock guitar magazine that didn't put Hendrix at No1. I know its a metal list and all, but i thought they'd put him on top anyway.

Max Cavalera/Andreas Kisser are missing. It doesn't bother me  as I don't care much for Sepultura (let alone Soulfly), but they are famous and influential enough to have been included. I assume whoever compiled the list had simply forgotten about them.

^ consider the possibility that there might be more than 100 noteworthy guitarists ... I think that even a list of 250 would still be missing some vital names.

True,though  but I still think Sepultura's more important than Poison .

........Interesting.

I disagree with most of that list. Some names are ranked way to high, some to low, some don't belong there, IMO of course. Much of that is based off band popularity, opposed to the guitarist's talent.  Whaterver...not my list.

He died too soon ... but he was an extraordinary player.

Yes. But that still doesn't change the fact that I've never heard of the lad. Or more accurately, have heard of him, now, but don't know in which bands ( if any ) he played in.

Read this thread:

Plenty of info on Lane there, and I pasted in a link to a concert of his.

All lists of greatest guitarists are open to debate. It's always a challenge not to get too annoyed when you see something you don't like in there. Ah well.

Yeah. Mick Mars is better than Joe Satriani. I don't think so. Maybe in a parallel universe.

The list is a sh*tty joke.

I've read and talked about it before, don't even get me started on Korn and John Petrucci!
