Rolling Stone new guitar gods

[markb]

The new Rolling stone has this list of the 20 'new gods' of guitar. And its 80% a bunch of wankers that have been around for years - and not unknowns either - John Frusciante, Derek Trucks, Tom Morello, Jack White, 2 Pearl Jam guys, Adam Jones, Warren Haynes...

A good 25 minutes of intense, probing research went into that story.

[Robert Burns]

And the only really believable guy on that list is Tom Morello imo

[Endrik]

ahaa, Rolling Stone strikes again.

I love Warren Haynes, amazing player, amazing tone...but he is an old guy who has been around for a long time.
But Derek Trucks is new compared to the others, pretty good player too.
Adam Jones...great...but he isn't that new.

LOL, I saw the cover in Blockbuster, laughed, and kept walking.

Not even worth my time to have them insult my intelligence and read their garbage.

[RacerX]

Just like we should do with this thread!

did not see he list, but Tom is

[VitaminG]

all those guys are good guitarists. But not new and not gods

And Rolling Stone will never get a cent out of me. That dreck's not worth the paper it's printed on

Didn't they have Jack White from the White Stripes near the top of their all-time 100 best a while back?:ROTF: I actually like some of his catchy pop songs, but come on!

They also have Kurt Cobain at 8th, and Rhoads at like 80th. Now I think Kurt was good but thats just stupid. And in relation to the most recent Rolling Stone list, :ROTF:

EVH was behind Ike Turner on the last list. All EVH did was change the way rock guitar was played for a good decade or so......... not much of an achievement.

Rolling Stone is the worst piece of garbage ever printed.

[horns666]

"popularity contests" ..plain and simple.

Rolling Stone, and the ilk are completely oblivious to 99% of TRUE guitar "gods" IMO!

[Big D]

I agree, Rolling Stone sucks the big one.

However, Derek Trucks is an amazing player. I was quite surprised they had good enough sense to put him in this article. Especially since he's not popular with mainstream (i.e. stupid) music consumers.

[Sinistas]

Trucks is disgusting. I saw the Allmans a couple of summers ago and had to get a wheelbarrow for my jaw.

Sadly, Rolling Stone is now run by FAR LEFT, NON-MUSICAL idiots who try and force their agendas down our throats. Everything with them is political- and I love the dopes who love to read it- they all seem to consider themselves the 'true' musically educated people and the rest of us are wankers.

I will never spend one dime supporting their rag. Ever.
