Choices Not In The Top Ten

Vote for Robert Johnson 11) Robert Johnson

Vote for Kirk Hammett 12) Kirk Hammett

I’m sick of Kirk and his crappy wah. He was ok, about 20 years ago.
If Hetfield kicked Kirk and Lars out of Metallica and added some decent musicians they would become good again.

Chris113

Don’t get me wrong. His solos on the early metallica albums were masterpieces. But he really isn’t that good as a lead guitarist. And live he is kind of sloppy. Not to mention his work on "St. Anger" was awful.

Vote for Eddie Vedder 13) Eddie Vedder

Vote for Bo Diddley 14) Bo Diddley

Vote for Jimmy Page 15) Jimmy Page

Vote for Dave Mustaine 16) Dave Mustaine

He’s into 4 no 5 feuds with people, I think even more

Vote for John Petrucci 17) John Petrucci

Vote for The Edge (U2) 18) The Edge (U2)

His solos are awful

Vote for Dimebag Darrel 19) Dimebag Darrel

Now I like pantera and respect them for keeping real metal around during the atrocious "grunge" era but I honestly never considered Dimebag to be nothing more than a pretty good guitarist.

Vote for Buckethead 20) Buckethead

Vote for Mick Thompson 21) Mick Thompson

Vote for Tom Fletcher 22) Tom Fletcher

Vote for Yngwie Malmsteen 23) Yngwie Malmsteen

Ok he is a really good guitarist but far from a Guitar Icon or Guitar hero like everyone claims.

Vote for Hideto Matsumoto 24) Hideto Matsumoto

like everyone is just recognizing only him, a great one but it is very annoying if he is the only one

Vote for Paul Gilbert 25) Paul Gilbert

Vote for Chuck Berry 26) Chuck Berry

Vote for Conway Twitty 27) Conway Twitty

Vote for Zakk Wylde 28) Zakk Wylde

He’s definitely lost his sense of creativity in his solos and riffs.
