This thread is so meatheaded.

know who's better than wylde? EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
except malmstein. hate that guy. talk about jacking off with your guitar.

Eric Clapton
Eddie Van Halen

It would be unimaginably worse if people here were waving their dicks at Jonny Greenwood and Johnny Marr.

Or **** dale and Tom Morello for that matter.

Jonny Greenwood is liek the BEST EVER. :band:

Also no one rights riffs like Johnny Marr, There's no one better :band:

Why? At least give a reason, it's just my own little list, people here make lists all the time, can't I have one?

No ninja trolling please.

Any more recommendations?

kim thayil.

universally overlooked due to staying in the background while chris cornell took the spotlight, thayil is often unfairly written off as 'that guy with the beard' in soundgarden. if you listen to more than their later singles it's clear that the man had his own technique and approach to the instrument.

his use of alternate tunings was not random, it wasn't done to fit in with the grunge scene, he was doing it long before 'dropped-D' because a standard phrase in every guitar player's vocabulary. his lead style is also quite unique varying between traditional styles and chaotic noise in a way that not many people are capable of reproducing. rhythmically he would alter between off time sludgy metal riffs and psychedelic soundscapes with ease.

he's also directly responsible for the reissue of the guild s-100 guitar (their SG knock off)

Michael Hedges (if you know him) is a damn underrated guitarist, but I guess he's not exactly rock. Still though, poor guy, doesn't make it to any list at all. Maybe a special mention? :D
