(08-27-2003) The Edge is #24 on Rolling Stone Guitar Great List - Rolling Stone *

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
My local radio station has a weekly 'top ten' classic rock show (i.e. top ten vocalists, top ten drummers, top ten live albums, etc.) and, by coincidence, this week was best guitarists. As I recall correctly, the top ten were

* Hendrix
* Page
* Clapton
* Van Halen
* Richards
* Townshend
* George Harrison
* Santana
* Vaughn
* Angus Young
 
WTF Edge at 24, that is bloody bull, he should be more around 10, Half of the guitarist in front of him are fucking awful. Santana is nothing, he re-uses the same guitar riff in ever song with a slight change to the pattern, Jack white is nothing fucking specail, I could play better then him when I was 17. Jimi Hendrix is a fucking awful guitar player who relied on effects, not saying he had no talent, but he does not deserve # 1. Don't even get my started on Kobain, being a Nirvana fan I can tell you right now he was an average guitar player at best. Who ever is in charge of creating these list needs to be DRUG OUT INTO THE STREET AND SHOT!!
