I understand that some of these guitarits were influential in their time, like Kurt Cobain and Johnny Ramone, but they shouldnt have recieved such a high spot because they really weren't that great of players. And where's Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen??? And the worst is that Eddie Van Halen was put at 70, and Kurt Cobain at 12?!?! Thatz just wrong....

About everyband i like.

Lol, same here. They are kind of into whatever is "hip". The closest my friends get to my music is one of my friends likes the Beatles a lot, I dont really like the Beatles but they are better than all the other music my friends listen too. Im hoping that college will help me find friends with similar tastes in music as me

Im cing them Novemeber 5th at the United Center in Chicago!
