Rolling Stone Editors Pick 100 Greatest Guitarists

[MindGoneHaywire]

You were the one who complained about Darius' post, not me. If you put forth a complaint as logically flawed as 'just better,' you shouldn't be surprised if someone calls you on it.

You & the OP both had a problem with the exclusion of Vai. Do you also share the stated chagrin of the OP that Duane Allman is ranked #2?

Do you believe that Frusciante, May, Green, Fripp. Howe, Summers, et al, are or were better at what Johnny Ramone did, than Johnny Ramone was?

Just asking.

You were the one who complained about Darius' post, not me. If you put forth a complaint as logically flawed as 'just better,' you shouldn't be surprised if someone calls you on it.

And Darius' post was not logically flawed?

Using the reasoning, "you started it", I can simply retort, "no, Darius started it".

You & the OP both had a problem with the exclusion of Vai. Do you also share the stated chagrin of the OP that Duane Allman is ranked #2?

I said I had problems with the whole list, yet you're only picking on part of my statement -- the part about your hero. Yet you never explained how "contribution to music" might be reinterpreted to mean "great guitarist" -- who needs calling out?

Do you believe that Frusciante, May, Green, Fripp. Howe, Summers, et al, are or were better at what Johnny Ramone did, than Johnny Ramone was?

You're trying to lure me into that particular argument again, and I'll just go back to my response: it depends what you mean -- if what you mean is "play guitar greatly", then yes, I believe they do. And I believe that nothing else matters. I'm not saying you're delusional for believing otherwise, but I think you would be delusional if you deliberately preferred not great guitarists just simply because they pissed people like me off. If Darius meant anything other than that with his earlier post, I have yet to see you make anything of it. Even he said that's what he meant by that, yet you continue to defend windmills.
