Hm, you guys must not like Eric Clapton.. ever notice he's rated higher on a lot of guitar lists like Rolling Stone, Van Halen wasn't even close to him..
Rolling Stone?!?!?!?! You read that list right?  Are you insane?

And even if he was rated higher than EVH on every single list ever, it wouldn't make a bit of difference to me because I will always think Clapton is overrated, and Eddie is lightyears ahead of him.

I agree 100 %, and sorry I forgot to highlight sound earlier!

Page vs. Van Halen

I'll go with Page, as good as Eddie is, I dunno, I think I like Jimmy a little better, but with no more than a hair split difference.

Yeah that Rolling Stone list was messed up because Slash wasn't on it and they had Kurt Cobain higher than Van Halen, Angus Young and Tony Iommi.. now that is messed up he shouldn't even have been on the list..

Well, like I said before, it's whether you define a good guitarist by his (or her!) technique alone, or by other things, such as songwriting ability, stage prescence, image etc..

As a songwriter, and someone who inluenced millions, he deserves to be on the list, not necessarily higher than those people, but he should be on it.  As a technician, he shouldn't, but neither should any of those guys except EVH and maybe Iommi.

But yes, thast rolling stone list was full of shit.  The funniest thing I've seen since the lyrics to Invisible Kid... [rofl]

Okay, you know what? I've got an idea, since so many of you have such great ideas for the next guitar battles, lets do a test run.
We'll have a vote, everyone put your suggestions in here, then we'll vote 'em off, how does that sound?

Edit to add: Michael Shenker, Uli John Roth, George Lynch, Don Dokken, Glenn Tipton, K. K. Downing, Richie Sambora, Ace Frehley, Paul Gilbert, Paul Kossoff, Joe Perry, Mick Thomson (Slipknot's #7).  That's it for now.

Second Edit to add: Whilst listening to Pink Floyd it occurred to me that no-one's said Dave Gilmour.  And I'm not sure why but Keith Richards too.

I know this is a Guns N' Roses board and all, but I don't think Buckethead quite qualifies as one of the greatest guitar players of all time.

Depends on what you're basing it on.  If it's on ability to play the guitar, then I think Buckethead is up there at the top.
