Most of those guitarists aren’t even metal?

Queen?

I seriously disagree with that list. Tony is a very good guitarist but he has nothing on someone like Vai or even Hendrix!

Check out digitaldreamdoor's list, by my man Troy Ponce. It's 1000X better than that sh*t, though it only focuses on technical skill, which isn't a bad thing.

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!

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

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.

Nope. The guy must be totally irrelevant.

You're joking, right

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.

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

........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.

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

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.

Shawn WHO ?

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.
