PRINCE NAMED TOP GUITARIST http://www.contactmusic.c...st_1045313
(Photo courtesy of Rolling Stone.com) PRINCE has topped a new U.S. poll to find the Most Underrated Guitarist. The editors of rock magazine Rolling Stone asked readers to list the top rockers who failed to make their 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time survey. The top five is: 1. Prince 2. Kurt Cobain 3. Neil Young 4. George Harrison 5. Ace Frehley. | |

I don't exactly lose sleep over it, but this in no way makes up for him being left off of that Top 100 list. That was just ridiculous. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

i presume you've never heard Lake of Fire or Cortez the killer? No. But I really don't want too. I've seen several clips (live, maybe he's better in the studio) of him and it's just so bad, I can't believe anyone ever let him take a solo. And Cobain is just shit. Seriously, the fucker was a terrible guitarist in every way. Totally overrated because of his death..... Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together | |

As a guitarist you need to at least listen to Cortez the killer by Neil Young and Crazy horse... that fuckin solo is insane... That song is insane... And its like the simplest solo too its just comprimised of hammer ons I am a Rail Road, Track Abandoned

I just took a look at this list, it's a little suspect. First of all, Vernon Reid should not be so low. Anyone who is familiar with his playing knows that he destroys Kurt Cobain on guitar, and Prince for that matter ( even though I love Prince).
Why is Billy Corgan on this list? This is why lists suck. | |

He is world class. Genius is the only way to describe him! that i disagree... thats just fanaticism... I agree too  Al Di Meola, Joe Satriani, John McLaughlin, Django Rheinhardt, Larry Carlton, PAT METHENY, Charlie Christian, Joe Bonamassa, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Julian Bream, Chet Atkins, Dave Wilcox, oh the list is endless. Yes Prince is very very good but solely as a guitarist he has a lot of peers. And I know he would agree in an instant 
Now as a musician... | |

Why is Billy Corgan on this list? This is why lists suck. dude this lists was made by a U.S. poll... don't likeit, blame the americans... I think the lists is fine... BTW being a good soloist doesn't make you a Good guitarist it makes you a good soloist... Rhythm first, Melodic interpretations, Soloing technique, and overall Guitar timbre...(IE harmonics, and technological uses) A guitarist who encompasses all that... Is a great guitarist... IE Frank Zappa... [Edited 10/2/07 0:50am] I am a Rail Road, Track Abandoned

Not the easiest stuff to listen to though is it we used to listen to Zappa all the time - think i will have to dig this out again - think I'm regressing to all my old favourites and i can sense a seventies party brewing - this is all the fault of going to Prince concerts and getting on here "C'mon y'all - let me hear you sing, c'mon y'all, shake, c'mon y'all, jump" - Yes Prince -
"London do you feel for me what I feel for you"- yes Prince - "Can I play my guitar now?" - yes please | |

Now as a musician... them guys aren't exactly underrated,they might not all have the same level of fame as others,but anyone thats heard them i'm sure would rate them most high indeed Like a Gb Major with a E in the bass | |

I agree with u EmbattledWarrior..... prince fanatics don't listen to others..... they have prince inside licking the wet roof from their little pink assholes.
Prince is a great guitarist....The guitar league is massive and everyone has their own favorite guitar top ten. It's undebatable to say who is the best and who is the worst. EmbattledWarrior said: Savage said: He should be top of the greatest Guitarists ever, never mind this!

Kurt Cobain and Neil Young in the top 5?????

Cool. He should've been on the original list, without a doubt, but Eddie Hazel not making the original list is just criminal. I guess they never heard Maggot Brain... Check out my tribute to Prince
