[carpediem]

oooo yeh no.7 "One" one of my favourite songs

 

[bowman]

u dont think Comfortably Numb sould be in top 10??

 

[wanton-wonton]

Eruption kills Stairway to heaven.

 

[Gavvvvvin]

^ No. .

 

[wanton-wonton]

^ No. .

^ Yes

 

[Odourless]

Why does it say eric clapton is the guitarest in the beatles :S

42.
song: While My Guitar Gently Weeps
guitarist: Eric Clapton
band: The Beatles
album: The White Album

 

[artheterosexual]

cause maybe clapton plays in that song?

 

[slip]

who put the list together

obviously not a chili peppers fan

decent list, wouldnt have so much nirvana (and i love them-but kurt wasnt that good on guitar) or so much metalica in my list.

 

[ezzy85]

i remember this list. i was surprised only seeing 1 acdc and it was so low.

light my fires an awseome solo, but its a keyboard solo.

 

[mr_brightside]

agree with the nirvana...

id like to see zoot allures higher

 

[Led-Zep]

odourless...Clapton played the solo with george harrison on WMGGW..which was on the white album..which is y he gets the credit..btw that song kicks ass live..and in terms of which is better STH or Eruption..technically eruption kills it, but for feeling id say STH..then again i love both

 

[bowman]

i ripped it off from a music site, but still i think it's a fairly good poll. it's alot better than rollng stones

 

[withoutaface]

Eruption kills Stairway to heaven.

It has tapping, therefore it must be better.

Also Gilmour plays heaps slow so his solos have no merit.

 

[AsyLum]

Pure technicality, Malmsteen would probably be close to top 5

 

[wanton-wonton]

It has tapping, therefore it must be better.

Also Gilmour plays heaps slow so his solos have no merit.

You tell me, why is Stairway solo better than Eruption? I never said I merit a solo due to technical brilliance, and for your information, Gilmour plays one of my favourite solos in Comfortably Numb.

 

[Emma-Jayde]

It has tapping, therefore it must be better.

Also Gilmour plays heaps slow so his solos have no merit.

Just because a solo is slow doesn't mean that it's easy.
