dalsh327 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It's a top 50 list? Who's the other 40? I'm iffy about Slash being on any"greatest of all time" list, but they should do some sort of poll about "what is the person who influenced you the most into playing guitar". I think Slash would put Ron Wood in that top 10 list because he personally encouraged him. When you have a guy from 2 legendary rock bands giving you kind words about your playing, that weighs pretty heavy, but his priorities were more skateboarding and biking, music was a hobby, not a livelihood. If he hadn't been brought up around artists, I don't think he would've been as motivated to be a rock musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn_Smooth Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Good for Slash, even if it is completely irrelevant. I'm sure that he has bigger accomplishments though, he deserves them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmapelian Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 As big a fan as I am of Slash, I think the best guitarist of all time is a bit of a overstatement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoolMonkey Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Wow no Satriani makes this list laughable. What to speak of great players like Guthrie Govan who would easily be top 20 imho. I don't need to see another list with Eric Clapton as the #1 either. But having Slash as #1 and seeing who else is in the top 50, well for me that list means nothing in the end.

volcano62 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yeah, wouldn't it be terrible to give the GNR guitarist some praise on a GNR board? Which one you praising? DJ, BBF or Fortus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eu4ic Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 And ironically his most well-known works werent just in GNR but in songs Axl had to basically force Slash to do: SCOM, NR, Estranged. We can thank Axl for this one. Better than Hendrix and Page? Hm.Shhhhh don't upset the Slash fans Once again, I didn't read alll the responses, but best of all time? Are you fucking kidding me? He is a good string bender, but is he a Jeff Beck, Roger McGuinn, or Eric Clapton? Hardly!+1Wrong section....I know you need the attention it is ok.....Splash is in my top 10 worst guitar players...see how these silly lists are useless and simply opinion based?There he goes again, the gay trollcano. As if you understood anything about music and guitar playing...Reported for homophobia. Have a nice vacation.Oh and just for your info i've been playing guitar since I was 14 year old.Well I'm going to report you for homophobiaphobia.

Nosaj Thing Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Definitely not the best guitarist of all time, but my favorite.Where are Bumblebee, Fortus who worked with Enrique Iglesias and Cashba? Those are the best of all time. Come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustycage Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'm pretty sure he got voted best guitarist of all time because of 'Apocalyptic Love'. Nah, probably Sweet Child O Mine, November Rain solo and Estranged guitar work. Probably GNR's most notable guitar solos that he wrote. I am sure if he had wrote the "This I love" solo he would have been bronzed at the RNRHOF, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
