What's obviously missing from this thread is an explanation of the criteria behind the list. I'm sure it all makes sense from whatever point of view from the people who wrote it, but we generally don't know what that is.
The top besides Jimi looks pretty silly to me at first glance, but that's probably because my knee-jerk reaction is to believe that this is or should be a ranking by skill. A moment's thought tells me it obviously isn't.

I think Rolling Stones lists accomplishment and influence rather than plain skill. I don't know which is better since you can be technically skilled but lack the songwriting skills, be skilled songwriter eventhough you're not so skilled technically, you can be both or then you can suck in every possible way and somehow still make the list.
These lists are fun but rather pointles because everyone is biased. |

The thing we're missing here because time has since elapsed is that, when this was released, The White Stripes had only released up to Elephant. I remember people losing their minds that Jack White was #17 and being that I was a massive fan, they usually bitched at me.

11th greatest guitarist of all time. Come on man even in just metal there's at least 20 other guitarists that would be ahead of him namely, Dave Mustaine, James Hetfield, Marty Friedman, John Petrucci, and Dimebag Darrell.

He was the first inductee into the Guitar World Hall of Fame. Reader poll, readers votes, any guitarist living or dead and Kirk won. That isn't my opinion, or the ****heads at RS saying that, its the players and readers of a magazine devoted to playing guitar. I understand you would prefer it if more math-metal guys made it in, but thats not what the list was.

As I've mentioned a number of times, I don't really listen to Metallica anymore. I would still put Kirk pretty high up there on my own personal list, though. That guy had some of the most imaginative lead work ever (to me, anyway). At his best, my hands instinctively start air guitaring. At his worst, James didn't want him to show off anymore so he just didn't play at all. Plus he seems like a really nice guy.

yeah, I don't play them constantly anymore. I hear them now on my running mix only, but what Kirk has done it amazing.
