Glen Tipton, KK Downing and Eric Johnson in the 200's?? WTF!!!!

They're going by some pop music BS categorization. But I guess you have to look at the source and the question is answered.

Thoughts??

RS sucks the blue water mixed with shit and piss from inside a porta john. After a 3-day Woodstock event.

Kerry King #100

Randy Rhoads not as good as Tom Morello??

Laughable, and I just skimmed the list.

Did Uli Jon Roth make the list ?
What a crock regardless …
Maestro if you will

 

[Stone]

That list is totally irrelevant and meaningless
Just ignore it, musicians, music and guitar connoisseurs don't need no one and certainly not rolling stone crapazine telling us about the greats and greatest..... We already know

 

[Sascha Franck]

So, these 250 are all greater than Joe Pass. Or Brent Mason.
Right.

 

[Gearzilla]

They might as well have included Stevie T and Fluff given the state of that list.


Apparently no one down there has heard of Allan Holdsworth.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Very surprised at the outcome

On an RS related note; started Milli Vanilli doc (whose session guitarist is probably ranked higher on here than EVH ) and that weirdo that works for them that looks like a 75 year old little kid made of plastic was a recurring commentator. Stfu already. They did not feature the guy who likes the Unknown Ramone

Kerry King #100

Randy Rhoads not as good as Tom Morello??

Laughable, and I just skimmed the list.

Last time I looked at one of their lists, it had Richie Blackmore at #50, and Kurt Cobain much higher. I already knew it was bullshit, but that solidified it for me.

And even if they're including songwriting ability as a criteria, RB beats him there too. HE WROTE SMOKE ON THE WATER!

(And why, when I capitalize a word mid-sentence, does it tell me I spelled it wrong? 'Blackmore' is one word! Stupid fucking ___________.)
