What?
I wonder where the hell this poll was taken….
Rolling Stone probably asked all the people walking on the red carpet at the Brittney Spears memorial tribute concert who they thought the most under rated guitar players were. Not real guitar players mind you, but people they seen playing Guitar Hero on their Nintendo Wii.
What about players like Pat Travers, Buck Dharma, Kevin Kinney, David Gilmore, Audley Freed, Tim Sult, Duane Roland, Frank Marino, Woody weatherman, Tom Scholz, Dave Colwell, Rick Emmit…….
Ehhh… whatever. Rolling Stone doesn’t know #### about music anyway.
i couldnt of said it better myself jagfinger. apparently kurt isnt #2 if he was #12 in the 100 greatest guitarists (also appearing in the rolling stone
). does that make any sense? and, john frusciante of RHCP was also in the 25 too! he was a prodigy! somebody needs to organize this magazine and stop letting musically-challenged folks poll in this magazine.
Hmm… I am a huge nirvana fan, and kurt was an amazing song writer, but he was around average at guitar most of what he played where power chords riffs with sloppy solos. He was good when he put his mind to it e.g MTV unplugged but his guitaring skills are overrated in my opinion.
