~~~WORDS OF A VERY WISE MAN~~~

"No way, Greatest doesn't mean skill alone it means everything.

would the greatest footballer be one who scores the most goals? or the one who who playes the best overall.

Would the greatest video game be the one with the best graphics? or the one with overall best graphics/ playability difficulty etc.

Greatest is not = the most.

Greatest = overall performance"

Where is Django Reinhart?

@allthingsclassicrock I respectfuly disagree. Even may who hate Phish but play guitar give props to Trey Anastasio's technical prowess. These lists are by nature, always flawed. A jazz enthusiast might ask "Where is Joe Paas?", blues enthusiast, "Why no Buddy Guy?", yet, you, and many others may have never even heard of these guys, or have heard them and disliked them. So I'm not going to try and convince you to like Trey, or Buckethead, or P. Gilbert, they all have merit.

where is slash? O.o

[Dvermoet]

@imhamish Completely agree! David Gilmour is so much better! I think he deserves to be way higher on this list. The top 10 isn't that amazing either to be honest.. But i am satisfied with John Frusciante's position :)

[DragonBruceLee27]

@20stam did you even watch the video?

[xXxDriftingCowboyxXx]

@imhamish No kidding. I bet half the people that are watching this video can play better than The Edge

[imhamish]

Any list that puts The Edge ahead of David Gilmour is an absolute steaming pile of bullshit.

[ritchiepeyton]

@xXxDriftingCowboyxXx

Nicely put. :)

[SlowhandSolos]

The 2011 list has Keith Richards 4th, so I don't know what everyone is complaining about!

[pussylanious]
