05.03.12 | If you seriously expected that list to be great then fuck you |
TwoMonthsInTheCold
05.03.12 | I didn't expect it to be amazing, maybe semi-decent. But Cobain #4, Ramone #8? |
ZilbelPing
05.03.12 | Exactly
Now fuck you |
KjSwantko
05.03.12 | I don't even know who a lot of those people are and I'm a guitar nut. I guess that's what happens when you have tons of guitarists from homosexual bands on the list |

05.03.12 | Did Jam Master Jay play guitar? |
ZilbelPing
05.03.12 | If baseline thinks it's the best then surely it must be. |
Trebor.
05.03.12 | lol it's spin what did you expect
|
TwoMonthsInTheCold
05.03.12 | Number 1 is a complete joke. |
Trebor.
05.03.12 | Look, as far as we know, our asymmetrically coiffed party pal has never held a guitar in his life. But no contemporary musician has a more primal understanding of adrenaline-pumping, pulse-raising, chest-caving bulldozer riffs than dubstep mosh ambassador Skrillex. Somewhere between the unfiltered piston-pumps of nü-metal and the twinkling emocore melodies that weaned him is a gaping sarlacc of yawping melodies and buzzsaw edges. The bass drop to "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" might just be this generation's "Smoke on the Water" — look no further than the obscene number of "Skrillex guitar cover" videos on YouTube!
Most Heroic Moment: Korn's "Get Up," even if Munky technically plucked the strings. CHRISTOPHER R. WEINGARTEN

ZilbelPing
05.03.12 | Lol he's still in awe about it |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.03.12 | Holy. Fucking. Shit. This is crap. And I've only read the first page. Even worse than Rolling Stone |
macman76
05.03.12 | Spin and Pitchfork just die 'gasming the moment they discuss anything sonic youth related |
Trebor.
05.03.12 | they are trolling just to get traffic
cunts |
macman76
05.03.12 | At least the Rolling Stone one was geared towards pioneers, this is just shit on a stick... The highest metal guitarist is a the duo of King and Hanneman, Pick one motherfuckers!!! Also, neither one is the best in the metal genre, not even amongst the big 4 |
bloc
05.03.12 | This list...is..ummm...interesting... |
KjSwantko
05.03.12 | ugh I wish I could get paid to put ridiculous lists together |
TwoMonthsInTheCold
05.03.12 | Comparing Deep Purple to Skrillex is blasphemy of the highest degree. |
Adabelle
05.03.12 | Sweet list.
Except 9, never listened to it. |
Masochist
05.03.12 | Sonny didn't even play guitar for From First To Last. Holy fuck.
Kevin Shields is on the list...interesting. Though, any cred they may have gained for putting him on the list was lost for putting him at #2. |
Trebor.
05.03.12 | He wrote Emily
|
JohnnyoftheWell
05.03.12 | It was also interesting how they put Syd Barrett on instead of Gilmour |
Trebor.
05.03.12 | They probably just picked names from a hat |
macman76
05.03.12 | Who put Skrillex's name in that hat? |
FelixCulpa
05.03.12 | They mentioned Slint so props. |
sniper
05.03.12 | good list, most of these album rule. |
VisionsFromTheDarkSide
05.03.12 | Pretty sure that's impossible |
VisionsFromTheDarkSide
05.03.12 | Ah okay I believe you then |

05.03.12 | "The bass drop to "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" might just be this generation's "Smoke on the Water""
wat. Trebor nailed it that makes me want to fucking puke. I don't think I've ever read spin but holy shit. |

what am I reading? it's a list of guitar players how is this allowed. I'm phoning Obama. |
tiesthatbind
05.04.12 | lmao Skrillex |
Athom
05.04.12 | Jay Mascis and John Fahey being in the top 5 made everything else water under the bridge for me. |
livingisland
05.04.12 | Spin also said that David Comes to Life was the best album of 2011 so I think Spin's opinion on anything is irrelevant at this point |
