I'm saying if you've heard that solo and still think hes a bad guitarist then theres something wrong with you.

i say his solos are out of place in his songs (as in there's a dedicated gap in the flow of the song for bzzt reee bzzzt ree brrrrpppp reee dooooop x4) and you resort to bad spelling. his solo for guitar hero 3 was pretty cool it worked in that context. on the other hand, changing a groove midway through a song for no other reason than forcing one of his solos into a generic radio rock tune IS cheesy.

You certainly need to listen to more RATM, its like you've only heard their singles. I wouldn't call them all radio friendly. Especially on Battle of Los Angeles, where I think the riffs and solos sync up with the songs much better.
Either way your reasoning is bad. OH NOES THEY JUST DID A DRASTIC TIME CHANGE THIS IS BAD.
Obviously not a prog fan.

i imply that if you take away his effect pedals and give him an acoustic that he ceases to be unique and you infer that it's the making of a great guitarist.

Have you ever heard Hendrix play an acoustic? I sure as f*ck haven't.
And Hendrix made a big use out the wammey bar and techniques that really only work on electric, so he probably wouldn't be as great on accoustic either. For the most part electric and accoustic guitar are two very different instruments with different purposes.
Besides, I'm assuming you didn't know this but Tom Morello actually has a folk music career under the stage name The Nightwatchman. His acoustic playing is actually pretty good.

i don't see how being reliant on something other than a guitar makes someone a great guitarist.

Hes not, if you actually knew anything about him you'd know he's actually pretty capable without the need of pedals, he uses them to enhance his style and add to the music. Apparrently that is a bad thing.
