Slash
“Melodic genious. Some of GNR's best songs were when they simply had Slash play 4 minute solos.”
“I'VE NEVER HEARD A SOLO LIKE THE ONE HE PLAYED IN NOVEMBER RAIN, AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT ALL THOSE INTROS LIKE SWEET CHILD O' MINE, WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, PARADISE CITY, CIVIL WAR, ESTRANGED, ETC.”
“double talking jive solo is sick slash is the best guitarist solo wise ever. In my book he is the best all around”
“he is one of the guitarists who make bands HIT!”
“slash is mi fav gtaist ever
i love him
he could play anything he wanted
what a man”
“I Sooooo Agree Slash Is The Frickin Best!!November Rain Is Crazy Good Any Band Could Be A Hit With Him...He Is The Roll Model For All Guitar Players!”
“Slash can play a wonderful sound,i like him because his solo is very wonderful, slash is a good guitarist ever all!!!!”
“Slash is 1 of the best guitarist in the world. paradise cirt and november rain are the best”
“Slash is the best guitarist in the world, i love those solos. when listen guns at live i love listen that solos. i love concert in Tokyo in 1992.. its wonderful..”
“there are not many guitar players that can compare to slash's solos, its like his fingers are superhuman lol, and i like the way how slash can be all over the place on the fretboard he dosn't stick to like 5 particular frets, and i agree sweet child of mine and november rain are both great solos also think that the dirty little thing and suckertrain blues solos are crazy”
“One thing to say : solo from Paradise city!”
“GUNS.....N.....ROSES
slash is the best guitarist that ever set foot on this earth and thats that”
“slash is the best guitarist ever
”
“slash owns
sweet child o' mine
complete guitar sensation!!”
“to me there is no player that was born to be the best rather than slash he is the artist of artists he has amazing musical improvisations and is the fastest solo player ever to be on the face of this earth.”
“Slash ruled (but not anymore). By the way, Izzy did the rythm and lead guitar parts on Double talkin' jive, and he has written this song; Slash only did the cool classical solo.”
“slash,all i can say is 4 words best..freakin..guitarist..ever!!”
“slash is the best guitarist ever jimmy page,jimmy hendrixs noway slash rocks g n r velvetrevolver dam straight”
“Slash is the most versatile guitarist alive. In paradise city,he shreds better than Vai, Malmsteeen, Dragonforce, and everyone else who is fast. He has also got amazing musical skill, like in november rain.
I can't believe people say slash has no technical skill. WATCH HIM LIVE. Shreds like 16th notes at 210bpm in every song without even tapping, while jumping off ramps and stuff.he does this for up to 20 minutes. For proof watch gnr live in tokyo”
“SLASH....the ANGEL of GUITER”
“Slash 2nd greatest pperson ever to live. He's right after Brett Favre.”
“whether it's Velvet Revolver or Guns N' Roses Slash will remaine if the greatest, one of the greatest guitarists and one of the only guitar gods left”
“November rain has the best ending ever, all thanks to the man in the top hat. g n' r are nothing without him”
“Slash is the best composer ever, he may not be the fastest guitar player, but the best!”
“I love him! You never heard anyone speak through a guitar until you've heard him play one of his solos!”
“Slash has it all! His got the speed, the power, the ability to actually play decent stuff, complex solos, blues influenced, his got the ability to beat shredders at their own game and at the same time be able to not make it sound like noise, but a spine-tingling experience! And finally he wears a tophat... how kools that?”
“I agree because he is still rocking 'november rain' 'dont cry' just to name a few he is so varied and now that he's in velevt revolver he still can pull of a good guitar solo such as 'slither'.”
“guys i think sl@sh is a LEGEND and everyone think that!! that's my opinion...”
“He is a great guy with all his solos. He should definetly be in the top 10 if not number 1.”
“slash is the best one ever i hope i get to meet him and teach me how to play those great solo. well i hope you read this and remenber you are the best.”
“only number 4? he should be in nº1 spot for sure! slash is the best”
“that one riff which Slash plays in "sweet child o' mine" speaks of his unparalleled skill n ingenuity..enough to snatch ur soul from ur body..he's a legend”
“Slash is God!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slash is the last guitar legend of some very great legends.
Slash plays with so much heart and soul he, and very influential. Guns n Roses was slash n axl n GnR without slash is like Bread with out butter. he is not the fastest but to much speed is anoyying he has the rite speed n he rites some good solos no 1 can argue that sweet child isnt a great song,riff and solo, he is a great great man a legend”
“He should be in the first place!!!
Must be!!!”
“slash is the greatest thing to happen to music since the guitar was invented, not only is he an insane guitarist but also quite an interesting person”
“Never in my entire 11 year old life have I known a guitarist as good as Slash. I 'm talking about the kind of thing in November Rain or Sweet Child O' mine!!! I reckon he should be right at the top of this list. Where ever you are Slash...ROCK ON!!!”
“He's The greatest ever
”
“hoooooooooO!!!!!!
there are some high quality guitarist on this list but none can rock as hard as Slash while wearing a black top hat. ROCK ON!”
“the best there ever was”
“Slash his da god! He makes Angus Young look like the Angus burger at MCdonalds, and he makes Jimmi Hendrix look like a complete dufas because of the way his first name is is spelt!!!”
“Slash Rocks He Is Such A Role Model For Me
And He Can Make a Guitar Sound So Words Cant Even Describe
He Has Such A Talent And Needs To Be Ranked Number One For Some Of The Bes Guitar Riffs Ever Such As Sweet Child 'O' Mine, November Rain,Dont Cry, paradise City, Civil War, and Slither”
“A true extraordinary piece of talent of legendary status who is the only remaining rock god still going at it. His riffs and immense solos took up a large proportion of what made Guns and Roses the savior or hard rock and an amazing band in general.”
“AUSOME IN NOVEMBER RAIN VIDEO
”
“the intro and solo of sweet child o' mine were awsome and the intro of welcome to the jungle”
“slash kicks ass his guitar playing mde guns n roses and ever since he left tat band went no where”
“He's absolutely amazing. Most modern guitarists simply play power chords... this guy could (and still can) hit every note with beautiful precision and timing. Slash and Synster Gates 1-2 for sure. Not hating on jimmi hendrix, for he truly set the stage for the later guys like slash and gates, but he simply was not as talented”
“slash, you're the best I love you
”
“Slash is so amazing! When he did the Godfather theme during their Use Your Illusion I and II tour, he rocked the universe! Slash so deserves this spot!”
“well, i am abused by his ability of playing the best solos ever....and they are not easy ...believe me , i ve tried many times to play that sweet child and i was desapointed .....HIS IS THE BEST./.....HE KNOWS HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR BETTER than everyone.....even JIMmmy hendrix...”
“SLASH....that name along with his breathtaking riffs/solos will echo endlesly into eterity inspiring every and any guitarist of the genarations past but most importantly those still to come”
“he is by far the best ever in my opinion. he found a way to mix blues and hard rock and make it sound amazing. listen to all the songs on Appetite for Destruction and you'll know what i mean.”
“Slash is the number 1 guitarrist ever! He rocks, he's equally good in studio as live. He is a rock GOD”
“Slash rules and the GH3 people finally figured that out go Guns n' Roses and Velvet Revolver”
“guitar solo god”
“Talent wise he is amazing and one of the top guitarests ever,
but his guitar riffs are THE BEST(paradise city being my favourite)”
“;) best rocker ever”
“sweet child o' mine one of the best guitar solos of all time”
“Maybe not the most skilled guitar player on earth, but definetly the most amazing guitar player and the most exciting one! i cannot even explain this in words.. he just put his feeling into his playing!
his solos speak for themeselves.. november rain, dont cry, sweet child...and more.
oh and one more thing, he is the reason i've started playing guitar!
”
“SLASH is the best he has the best solos. Great almost every thing else. And he really redefines solos”
“i always used to hear guns n' roses when slash was in the band, the only thing i can say he is the best in solos, now i started to hear velvet revolver, and his solos are amazing he is the best
he is the guitar solo god”
“Slash is definetly one of the greatest guitarists ever
All those amazing riffs, all those intense solos and he's got the perfect rock n roll look”
“One of my first memories is cruising along the lake with my dad listening to Appetite For Destruction. His solo in "Sweet Child Of Mine" remains to this day the best have ever heard.
Slash is the only person that can make a guitar truly cry.”
“Slash's solo in "november rain" is undoubtly the best solo ever played by any guitarist out there”
“I dont know why slash isnt first he's 100 times better than prince, jimi hendrix, and jimi page put to together he kicks ass”
“Slash is no doubt the best guitarist of all time. Nobody can come close to being as good as Mr. Hudson. Saul can play the best intros (Sweet Child of Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, Don't Damn Me) the best riffs, the best solo's (Sweet Child of mine, Don't Damn me, Don't Cry, November Rain, The Godfather Theme etc etc etc). Even Slash's SnakePit was awesome. The Cat in the Hat is no doubt my idol.”
“Slash is the greatest under jimmi of course but slash kicks some butt. like in sweet child o' mine thats like the best solo ever and in november rain.and think he started velvet revolver.he left gnr because didnt want to keep rokin but slash did.so thats thats.”
“for me he is the best guitarist all time!!!
”
“Slash is the best guitarist that I ever know till this time. Saul'Slash'Hudson have made many great intros and solos like November Rain, Sweet Child O'Mine, You got No Right,Slither, n' many more. I always dream to be the second Slash in the future. I'll try...I'll try.. And for me he is the best guitarist for all time. I feel very helped if he don't mind to give he's Les Paul guitar for me.You are the only one my idol. Good luck.....”
“He's the best of all the best guitarist of all time. He is great great great great musician in the world. Good Luck my idol....I'm your Indonesian fans
”
“Slash is the best, no way Price and Jimi are better”
“He's solo's are the best!!!! Remember
godfather theme, November rain, Sweet
child,Estrange......”
“easily the best living guitarist 2nd only to jimmi hendrix”
“slash is the 2nd greatest guitarist EVER, only behind hendrix. He is without a doubt the greatest soloist of all time. his solos aren't a couple of licks put together or not just playing a scale as fast as he can, his solo's are thought out masterpieces that are incredibly amazing tachnical and emotionally. listen to all his recorded songs n you'll see what i mean.”
“Slash kicks ASS”
“SLASH really does kick @$$”
“slash kicks ass!!! is the best”
“lol slash must be the 2e best of the world prince cant even play a great solo”
“I like his image and sound of his guitar..althoutgh his image show that slash is metal guys,but this is not true,slash is a greatest musician.He can make us feeling and enjoyable when we listen his song,such as november rain.Slash is the best one of guitarist.”
“Slash is the ONE and ONLY god of ROCK!”
“Slash played a tribute to Jimmy Hendrix and played it better then hendrix did. I was amazed of how great he is. Ive seen Page, Prince, Eddie Van Halen, Clapton, Zappa and Slash all live. And by far the best ones were Slash and Page. In my opinion you cant be any better then those two. November Rain and Sweet Child O'Mine....come on just sick..... Two of the best rock songs of all-time. Slash is a GUITAR GOD!”
“$$$****NEVER HAS THERE BEEN AN ALBUM WITH EVERY SONG BEING AWSOME ON IT LIKE"APPETITE FOR DETRUCTION"*****
He made history and that record will be WORSHIPED one day along with him!”
“no doubt he is the greatest of all time His riffs plays in my head all the time even in the loo when i wake up in the middle of the night”
“he is kickass but get oout of velvet revolver”
“Slash IS THE single best guitarist EVER. Granted, he can't play as fast as Herman Li, but he can play BETTER.”
“With some killer riffs and solos that'll bring a tear to your eye, he is truly one on the few worthy of being called a 'GUITAR GOD'.”
“First off i would like to say, SLASH IS A GOD!
He is simply the best, nothing compares to Sweet Child, November Rain, Don't Cry, Paradise City, Welcome to the Jungle, Estranged .. there aren't any songs where he dosn't completely create a sense of awe with his awesome intros, riffs and solo's. Can't be compared to anyone else, no one can do like him. Bumblefoot, buckethead your just ripping off his work you don't even come close to capturing the SLASH in the songs. He is a legend.”
“the best solo artist...
”
“slash has played with many people has is by far the best ever to touch a guitar”
“My biggest inspiration of all time. Slash was the guitarist who got me into playing the guitar. I've never seen any other guitarist like Slash. He's one of a kind.”
“Slash is the best guitarist ever, his solos are amazing like the one in November rain and sweet child o mine,those songs show how skilled he is, wen he plays, he sounds not only good but amazing,not only that but he has a technique of playing his guitar. there is no one in the world who is better than slash on the guitar.”
“slash the best one he plays the best solos ever!!! estranged,november rain, sweet child o mine etc”
“slash..........he simple a guitar god.have no words for him. da solo of november rain is a masterpiece........evn all other guitar riffs by him...he's too gud. may he get back to guns n roses.”
“Slash definitely deserves #1 check out the dime store rock solo by slash's snake pit its between 2:03 and 2:52 its prly my 3rd fav solo of his(behind paradise city and november rain)”
“For me Slash is the greatest ever. But I checked the entire list and I am wondering why Mick Mars (Motley Crue) isn't on it, it's just weird”
“your playing is the best I ever heard KEEP ROCKING
”
“Has two of the top ten best guitar solos of all time, November Rain and Sweet Child O' Mine.”
“Yes Gunners were my fav band too growing up and Slash was my fav guitarist and well if you haven't heard Novemeber Rain or listened to a Gunners song then you are missing out on a lot”
“Slash Rulez.
November Rain & Sweet Child O Mine are the best Solos from Slash (in Fact, they are the best in the World). So, Slash should be really (I mean REALLY) be Number ONE.”
“Slash is the best guitarist EVER!!!! I dont knw abt u guys, but he should be number one in this list!!! The best guitar solo is the one in november rain......Adore the guitar solo, especially the last one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“nobody can play November Rain like slash, and no one can replace him in GnR”
“how could anybody doubt! slash is the best guitarist ever! jimi hendrix can just smoke his marijuana! slash's the man!”
“I'm listening to the end solo on november rain right now and it is one of the two guitar solo's that really give me goosebumps, the only other one is the solo on stairway to heaven by ledd zepp and only the legends slash and paige can do that.”
“Slash has always played the best all his life, night train is my favorite song. but if you really wanna hear a good guitarist, listen to Out to get me”
“slash is my all time fav guitarist. listen to sweet child o mine, welcome to the jungle, move to the city, reckless life, paradise city, civil war, etc”
“his solo's were the BEST!”

“Legend”
“slash is my idol he is better than all of this guys he is the best I wish to play some the with him”
“Slash has done amazing work with Guns N' Roses and as said before has some of the best solos (and longest) also the best intros to songs. Slash is the man. He is a musical genius.”
“the best of all times
”
“just freakin the ultimate cool...”
“great at solos, he deserves a medal”
“Best guitarist ever. Great at intros, solos, and riffs
”
“got to be higher than this!”
“he's one of the ferocious guitarist out there love the way he plays the guitar puts all his emotions on his guitar playing man he's just awesome and he's the one who inspired me to pick the guitar”
“such an amzing guitarist
made me pick up a guitar in the first place”
“Slash rules! Velvet Revolver and Guns N' Roses kick ass!”
“Is the best!”
“slash kicks ass he´s just great”
“Slash is an awesome guitarist. He's got it all! He's dedicated and I think he's proven that he doesn't give up. All the music he plays is great, you don't get a song to witch Slash plays the guitar that sucks, he just dose what he loves.
Slash has earned his place in the top 5 and one day may even make it to number two. Let's face it Slash is a great guitarist.
I mean you don't just wake up and are good at something you have to earn it and Slash has. For this he is one of My greatest Idols.”
“Slash is an Awesome guitarist. He's got it all. I mean you don't just wake up and find that you are really good at something, you need dedication and Slash has that dedication needed to be great, and that's only one of the many reasons he deserves his place in the top 5.
Slash is unlike many guitar players in that he doesn't just play, he gets the meaning and the feeling of music. Its like music isn't just something he does, it's who he is and what he loves. Another reason for him being in the top 5.
When Slash plays his music is far from good... It's beyond great. Slash isn't number one because he will earn it in time and when he does that he will have more respect than Hendix. But I assure you Slash is more than capable of it.
A hawian guitar with one string as his first, Saul Hudson has pushed his way though the crowd and become Slash!
Slashes dedication and devotion has made him the man he is, for this he is one of my biggest idols and one day will become history.
”
“Slash is already awesome but he has a top hat! You can't beat the top hat!”

“god, I love hendrix, but guns n roses' sweet child o' mine was voted the finest guitar riff of all time”
“what can I say he's freakin beast”
“cmon ppl. slash deserves #1. give hm it. nt only is he a beast but he is a humble beast. the interveiw from gh3 was 1 of the things I like bout him. he is a nice guy. WAAAAAAAAAY nicer nd better than tom morello. his solos are hardcore 2.”
“What can I say, he's a complete triple threat! He can play guitar, write songs, and he's an amazing book writer! He does amazing solo, November Rain, which was the world's longest guitar solo of all time, and Sweet Child O' Mine's intro which the second it played, the whole world knows what it is. My most memorable, is the Don't Cry solo, because it's epic, as well as in Set Me Free, and Slither. Slash is a true artist, and he's dedicated to his work and family.”
“Slash is the most handsome&talented guitarist of all time.Being a part of Guns N Roses,his NOVEMBER RAIN solo is the greatest solo of all time.”

“no wonder SLASH is the greatest. hendrix, in my opinion, is just an overrated player bcoz the roots of great guitar playing was on him. But still, SLASH will be the greatest.”
“amazing
”
“Slash is way better than hendrix, a lot of people can do way better than he ever did. yeah, he introduced a lot of new ways to use the guitar but so has tom morrello who I don't like at all.
A lot of guitarists think music is about playing as fast as you can. slash could if he wanted to but he can really fit a guitar part to the mood of the song better than most.
theres a lot of good guitarists on this list but some deserve to be higher.”
“best guitarist, nice solos”
“He played the Godfather solo he's the best hands down if he can pull that off he can play any guitar note he's greatest!”
“Hendrix? Really? NO WAY! Slash rocks the house like no other, man!”
“Slash is just a beast, best blues metal guitarist since page left the scene
he isn't the best but he is great man but not number two that place belongs to jimmy page
Man I know people give him crap that he's only famous because Guitar hero but how are you deny his guitar work in songs like Sweet Child o' mine, Slither, Paradise City, or Sympathy for the devil cover”
“A7X is my favorite band,and synyser gates is awsome,but slash is clearly better.”
“legend, skillful and not just obsessed with showing guitar expertise (not that he isn't a total expert either). he'd kick hendrix's butt any day”
“amazing!”
“ROCKS! Thats right
”

“because he is belter and he is great”
“He is simply great. He is better than the others, his solos are real music”
“Coz he's the greatest”
“In my opinion he is the best living guitarist and I think he is a legend not only as a guitarist but totally as an artist. But I think the 1st place belongs to Jimi Hendrix no question!”
“THE best”
“Jimi Hendrix is a great guitarist, but he became a legend. SLASH RULZZZZZ!”
“The one and only SLash! Amazing”
“god”
“I can't understand all these guys that trying, without a success, to show evrybody that hendrix is better. Everybody wrote here that he sand while playing. So what? it's the greatest guitarists list, and jimmi sings, I must admit, not good at all. the greatst intro, greatest solo, are SLASH's.
SLASH RULEZ!”
“Slash is my idol, I've never heard someone play as good as him! =D”
“slash is awesome”
“I haven't been on a while, but Slash isn't 1 yet?! Jimi is one of the best, but you can't beat slash.”
“Slash is fantastic. In my opinion he is the best.”
“he is the best”
“cause hes just so awesome at it point blank”
