i don understand why he is never mentioned when it comes too 100 greatest guitarists? hes so much better then those heavy metal twats

[Bjarnarr]

Because the media never liked Johnny Thunders. They don't give a fck about that he's one of the most influential guitarists off all time, but they focus on him as a junkie/boozer. Which the majority of th guitarists you will find on those lists also was. They just don't care about his music and influence, only his personal life. - Twats indeed.

@Bjarnarr .. he was very influential to many of us who play but he's not a real technical player, like a micheal schenker or steve vai. more a blues based punk grinder, and i absolutley LOVED his playing !!! screw those clowns that make those lists up anyhow. they dont speak for all of us... thunders rocked hard !!!

[Bjarnarr]

@timjessa1

Johnny was never a technical player, like Steve vai etc, thats true. But, he was still one hell of a guitarplayer, and his influence was/is second to very, very few. And if you check most of them lists, you'll find Kurt Cobain on the top 20..

If it wasn't for Johnny there would have been no Steve Jones and subsequently no Pistols.

After seeing several comments about the 100 greatest of all time i had to see for myself. MAN WAS I EVER DISGUSTED... When I see that list that the joke of a magazine Rolling Stone put together. Where is Johnny Thunders, Micheal Schenker and Rory Gallagher ? Or even Steve Vai? What a joke ... What a sick joke. Amazing. What are they basing there list off of ?

[999burnage]

Notice JT never appears on those irksome 'best of 100 guitarists' polls/ shopping lists?? Reason enough to love him! Fuck 'em all & the horses that they rode in on.....sideways...Joe Bonnamassa/ Steve Vai etc?? Supreme technicians, but rock 'n' roll?? Gimme a break already..... ''it doesn't pay to try....''...............

@gnarlydragon , you're on the right track. I did some research putting the blame on Throgood, but I don't know if anyone can be sure about that. Check online on different sites, like OccultBeatles.

[mondocrat]

@problem49 , you are dead wrong about Brian Jones. He was the leader of the Stones as far as songwriting and the direction they went in those 1st 3 yrs. Also he was never a druggie really. He was a drinker. The story goes that he got drunk and fell in his pool. Do you really believe that? If you do, you're way too gullible. That's not what happened. If I were you, I'd look into it more. I don't know what you're beef is with Brian Jones anyways.

How do you achieve this tone? well, a Les paul junior with a single p-90,bad ass guitar player with a lot of attitude and some chinese rocks.

@Bjarnarr I agree with you. Keith Richards comes to mind too.

[cadolfan13]

@Bjarnarr Your right.  Keith Richards comes to mind.
