100 Greatest Rock Guitarists

Hendrix as #1? Come on... anyone can play that well on acid.
I can't beleive that Trey Anastasio is at 143! No respect...
Hi phishphreek80,
Yah...I know...it's a matter of taste :D but if you check out the other lists then the standings change...
Eg ;)
Bleh...only page that even mentioned KMFDM is only available through google's cache. Seems that site has some sort of biased feelings towards 'industrial'.
Hi SirSub,
Who's KMFDM ? :D
KMFDM is a techno type band from the 90's. and i personally think yngwie malmsteen, steve vai, satriani and dio should be top 4. also Dimebag should definitely not be that low in the chart.

Hi phishphreek80,
I forgot...Jimi was not one of my favorites growing up, I didn't much care for the Doors either at the time...I was more into Cream, Ten Years After, Moody Blues, Blood Sweat & Tears, etc...
But I was there in the sixties...and when all the girls were crying and wetting their pants over the Beatles and the Stones...
all the boys wanted their daddies to buy them a guitar so they could be Jimi Hendrix...he was a guitar salesman's wet dream! Of all these guitarists mentioned very few, if any, had the impact on guitar sales that Jimi did.
Eg ;)
KMFDM a techno band? hah. KMFDM started in 84, more of an "industrial" band, with a little electronica mixed in. They more or less lost/replaced/added at least one member for every album they released, so their sound varies album to album.
KMFDM - "A Drug Against War" is awesome...that is all.
Pretty obvious list besides the way some things are sorted and numbered.
Right now im pretty much diggin' Craig Nicholls' & Ryan Griffiths' stuff... every the Vines album I've heard has a solo on just about each & every track. Lots of drug refferences too.
