Greenman: Most Overrated Guitarists

ShadowAmI 02.21.10	i can play 'far beyond the sun' by malmsteen on the guitar
Enotron 02.21.10	Fucking around with effects pedas to make noises is a lot more creative than most metal shredders. Noise is what music is. Whether it is tasteful or not is up to the listener. I find Morello to be very tasteful, he made his guitar playing sound more like a dj, which fit the hip-hop esque sound of RATM.
TheSpirit 02.21.10	2 does suck hardcore tbh
GnarlyShillelagh 02.21.10	Herman Ree?
ninjuice 02.21.10	Morello's only overrated if you say he has any real technical skill.
TBliss 02.21.10	So completely and utterly, drastically wrong about Dimebag.
eternium 02.21.10	You're insane if you think Dimebag made bland riffs and some of his solos are maddening. Tom gets props for being original and experimenting. Yngwie is definitely talented as hell, but he is a member of the group of shredders who simply show off more than anything.
tiesthatbind 02.21.10	NEEDS MOAR JIMI HENDRIX
Enotron 02.21.10	No it really doesn't need any Jimi Hendrix. Jimi spoke with his guitar. I can't really think of any guitarists who could express themselves as well as he could.
tiesthatbind 02.21.10	Jimi Hendrix was a great guitarist. I was just kidding.
GnarlyShillelagh 02.21.10	Yeah well real musicians speak with their mouth
Enotron 02.21.10	tiesthatbind: oops, hehe. I'm bad at noticing things like that on the internet. gnarly: That would be funny, if that was funny.
demon of surveillance 02.21.10	Definitely right about 3.
tiesthatbind 02.21.10	Haha no worries, it's hard to pick up sarcasm on the internet sometimes.
couldwinarabbit 02.21.10	all true. esp. Tom.
JulesWin 02.21.10	dimebag is a bit overrated(especially since his death) but he was NOT a poor guitarist
Jesuslaves 02.21.10	Do a most overrated vocalists list plz.
EVedder27 02.21.10	if you think the list needs hendrix you are fucking retarded
JWT155 02.21.10	123
JulesWin 02.21.10	he was joking Vedder
Bullitt 02.21.10	Listen to the solo to floods, and then talk shit about dimebag.
EVedder27 02.21.10	haha alright
Greenman 02.21.10	"Listen to the solo to floods, and then talk shit about dimebag." One good solo doesn't justify the toungue bath this guy always gets.
JWT155 02.21.10	You said he was a poor guitarist, apparently he's not after you saw that solo so your wrong. I agree he's praised more then he should be because of his unfortunate untimely death but to say he's a "pretty poor guitarist" is just false.
BallsToTheWall 02.21.10	Posting in a Greenman list.
Urinetrouble 02.21.10	list needs more slash. good, buut wasnt very original
R6Rider 02.21.10	Once again Greenman you fail. Dimebag was one of the few metal guitarists that could play simple box based blues solos and still make them his. His playing style is easily distinguishable and he has plenty of memorable solos like the ones in Floods, 10's, Cemetary Gates, CFH, The Sleep, Domination etc. 2 I can agree with. Malmsteen is overrated now a days but he inspired a crap load of guitarists with his neo classical style of playing and sweep picked arpeggios. List needs Herman Lee
ThePalestMexican 02.21.10	Okay... 1-may have not been talented, but he created one of the most well known riffs in the world using only 2 notes, that's pretty impressive in my book (and I'm a huge Pantera fan boy). 2-he has his own signature style which is nice in this day in age, where everyone is copying another, interestingly enough nobody is copying Tom. 3-......okay I agree.
PirateSquid 02.21.10	All are true except for Dimebag. He was pretty sweet for his time, though he is definitely overrated, but I wouldn't say he was poor.
Carnifex 02.21.10	Soon as I saw dimebag at #1 I knew who the list maker was, js.
warchest 02.21.10	u just idiotic moron by putting dimebag in the list..
Titan50 02.21.10	Except Morello is the fucking tits
nastynick 02.21.10	lol, is this a joke? hahahahaha! seriously, is it? no? oh shit, this list fuckin blows
LeotardMessiah 02.21.10	This "greenman" character has a penchant for shitty, predictable list-making. User "Josh D"s opinions on music are void, due to his horrible taste in music.
theacademy 02.21.10	greenman shames kratos
Enotron 02.21.10	I wish we could all be friends like we were in middle school. I wish I could make a cake filled with rainbows and smiles!
Carnifex 02.21.10	^YES
Enotron 02.21.10	BLAMMO!
Motiv3 02.26.10	Morello is NOT overrated, hes one of the most creative guitarists in the past 10 years.
maidenpmcc 03.03.10	ANGUS YOUNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
porch 03.03.10	"Morello is NOT overrated, hes one of the most creative guitarists in the past 10 years" lol
intothepit83 03.03.10	ya, that comment had me almost falling out of my chair, porch. i agree all three are overrated, greenman, but at the same time, your descriptions of each are completely and utterly stupid and ridiculous
maidenpmcc 03.03.10	Angus young is definately the most over-rated guitarist in the world...........
austin888 08.27.10	FUCK YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT! DIMEBAG WAS A GOD!!!
Dryden 08.27.10	dimebag really wasnt that great
8bit 08.27.10	Pantera fanboy bumps a 5 month old thread.
East Hastings 08.27.10	They were playing "Take the Power Back" in the place i got my hair cut in today. It was pretty awesome
8bit 08.27.10	Europe ain't my rope to swing on
NeutralThunder12 08.27.10	all are excellent players
Ire 08.27.10	agreed on 1 and 2. you're stupid for 3. You have no idea what substance is
austin888 12.17.10	I agree with TBliss
Josh D. 12.17.10	Agreed with list.
Puzzles 12.17.10	I saw this list and almost screamed "TOM MORELLO" at my computer. That shit's just a given. I think with Yngwie you mean "substance over style" rather than "style over substance", seeing how he can play a substantial number of notes in a second without much style at all.
Josh D. 12.17.10	I'd hit a fish with a thing
NigelH 12.17.10	List needs buckets, tons and gallons of Slash.
omnipanzer 12.17.10	Tom Morello: never no The Edge: yes forever... give Eno thanks you prick....
Josh D. 12.17.10	Morello absolutely. "look I have dweedle and loopty-do effects and I hate America and shit"
Spec 12.17.10	I like that you made your list seemed unbiased by admitting to liking RATM for example. I do disagree however imply because Dimebag and Morrello's guitar playing was so new and creative at the time.
Josh D. 12.17.10	What was new about Dimebag?
Spec 12.17.10	I'm not gonna lie, I love me some breakdowns if they're done right. Misery Signals FTW
Zanders 12.17.10	Slash.
omnipanzer 12.17.10	um I hate to brake it to you n00bs but Tom Morello and Van Halen are the undisputed shit for a reason.
Wolfhorde 12.17.10	Lacks Alexi Laiho.
whywontyoudie 12.17.10	i can't stand Van Halen.
