Not only that, they're all from Rock bands or do strictly Rock music!

C'mon, TB, you can't possibly mean that. ??? While I agree w/ you regarding the omission of NS, I think you need to take another look at the list:

17. Gary Moore (blues)

19. Stevie Ray Vaughan (blues)

36. Chuck Berry (early rock/r&b)

41. B.B. King (blues)

45. Billy Corgan (alternative - would fit well w/ the groups you named)

48. Billie Joe Armstrong (alternative - would fit well w/ the groups you named)

50. Noel Gallagher (alternative - would fit well w/ the groups you named)

52. Dave Grohl (alternative - would fit well w/ the groups you named)

59. Robert Johnson (early blues)

66. Paul Weller (new wave/alternative - would fit well w/ the groups you named)

75. Chet Atkins (country)

88. Johnny Ramone (punk/alternative - would fit well w/ the groups you named)

90. Peter Buck (alternative - would fit well w/ the groups you named)

95. Tom Verlaine (new wave/alternative - would fit well w/ the groups you named)

100. Nile Rodgers (r&b)

And those are just some of the exceptions to your "strictly Rock music" tag! I know you know better. :-) But that's not to say I think the list is perfect, either... ;)

Quoting:
To continue with the omissions, I am only adding one to the list, Jonman will know who he is, whether he agrees is another issue...

Greg Macainsh

FB  ;)

PS  And surely there was an even more glaring omission from the original list ?

Our own :

Jonman !

Yes! Let's add Greg!!  But not me!! LOL.....I don't deserve it really!! But thanks for the vote FBVP!

Hey, did you watch the repeat of "Long Way To The Top" on Saturday night? Titled "Berserk warriors", it covered the rise of "Pub Rock" in Oz.

Blah! Watch it? I taped it the first time then bought the box set of videos. What a great series!

Quoting:
Adam Jones (Tool)  ???

Demn! I knew I forgot someone. Who'd have thought a song titled "Prison Sex" would be so effing cool?!

Quoting:
Dave Grohl #52 before Nuno Bettencourt #67?? Pleeeeeeease!! He's a f***ing DRUMMER!!

Who made up this list?? What a joke.....obviously someone who knows jacksh*t about guitar playing!!

BB King #41.........sheesh........

I hang my head in shame and put down my Stratocaster....
End Quote

Yep yer right Jonman! he is a drummer

They should have added Rick Neilson from Cheap Trick! Anyone ever seen him play a double neck guitar? AMAZING!

Where is Tom Shultz from Boston? Now there is a Pioneer that should be in the top 20!

OMG they have Dimebag from Pantera on there? Who are they kidding???

At least Ritchie Blackmore is in there!

This list is shoddy at best

Quoting:
Adam Jones (Tool)  ???
End Quote

Heck yeah!  He is friggin' brilliant!  I read an interview with him in "Guitar" magazine last year & not only is he an excellent guitar player, but he also comes up with all the ideas for their videos!  And if you have seen TOOL videos, you would know that they are the finest works of art to ever grace ANY music channel.

Quoting:
Lousy list IMO. Jeff Hanneman should not be behind Kerry King, let alone anyone from Korn.

I'd add Alex Skolnick to the list as well.
End Quote

I don't think anyone from Slayer should be on the list actually. Much as I like Slayer, I've never thought that King and Hanneman were exceptional guitar players. And Korn... well they're only there because they're popular, not because they're very good. In all honesty, I think Warren DeMartini and Vito Bratta should be there.

I agree Gore...although if this were a best drummer category, I would have to vote for Sepultura's drummer (I can't think of him name!!!  and I am too lazy to Google! ack!) :D

LOL PoP you mean Igor Graziano Cavalera?

I would nominate Don Powell of Slade, I can still remember the drum intro to Run, Run Away.  :D

I agree with you only on Kerry King, but i'll take Hanneman over Bratta anyday, just my opinion tho.

Again keeping with the same group, i'd say my favorite drummer would be Dave Lombardo.

Dave Lombardo is an exceptional drummer. Without him, Slayer would have been complete hacks.

Quoting:
I'll put in my vote for Eric Clapton.  He's been in the most "top guitarist" lists I've read, plus I've actually listened to his riffs and they ain't half bad ;)

I agree Rice, they dont call him "ole Slow Hand" for nothing!
