Max_god1 Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 For once, Pearl Jam's Mike McReady and Stone Gossard are in a top list. They haven't selected in the 2003(i think) rolling stone top 100 greatest guitarist list. We're Kurt Cobain was no.13, C'mon Cobain before McReady, Gossard, Johnny Greenwood, Ed O'brian, John Fushiante, that wasn't really serious. Good to also see, Jack White, Adam Jones, Tom Morello and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, they aren't in Hendrix league, but a really good through. Quote
MattLoveModels Posted February 15, 2007 Author Posted February 15, 2007 i think McCready and Gossard were on the list in 2003 Quote
mbinebri Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Is John Frusciante really a "new" guitar god? He's been with RHCP for awhile now.And Chris Cheney of The Living End is definitely one of the best guitarists out there with his rockabilly-punk sound. Quote
Max_god1 Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 i think McCready and Gossard were on the list in 2003«In a review of Pearl Jam's 2006 self-titled album, Rolling Stone editor David Fricke mentioned that both Gossard and Pearl Jam lead guitarist Mike McCready were erroneously excluded from the publication's 2003 feature "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time."[3]» Quote

Qball Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 That Mayer guy seems to get lots of attention, I gotta check him out soon. Trucks and Haynes are definitely worth a listen, the former is a slide technique master.Frusciante, Morello, Adam Jones and the Pearl Jam guys are good... but old and not necessarily "new".Now, Omar Rodriguez is a great guitarist and songwriter. I'd also add Mike Einziger (Incubus). Plus, Herman Li of DragonForce - insanely skilled metal player. Quote
Ack Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 I have been listening to Mayer for quite some time now and I actually like his style. That 2003 list was a joke. Slash didn't even make the list and Kurt Cobain and Ike Turner did! :x Quote
Monkey Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 That Mayer guy seems to get lots of attention, I gotta check him out soon. He's talented I suppose, but it's highly generic. He doesn't really do anything with the blues that hasn't been 10x better a long time ago. Most of his stuff is pop anyway. Frusciante, Morello, Adam Jones and the Pearl Jam guys are good... but old and not necessarily "new". It's Rolling Stone. Did you expect anything but BS? Quote
MattLoveModels Posted March 12, 2007 Author Posted March 12, 2007 Whoa I just noticed Slash isnt on this list either. They really must not like him Quote
