The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time

   Ok according to Rolling Stone at #16 is Johnny Ramone is anyone who *knows music* just a tad mad at the fact that he is 16 when *for example* Brian May of Queen could kick his motherfuckin ass at guitar. I mean all he did was play a couple of crappy powerchords and a one note solo. In other words he should be like 100th worst guitar player anyone else agree?

   Haha, the ramones were overated, but that isn't the most appalling thing about the list. Having Kurt Cobain anywhere near a greatest list is a far worse imo.

This is supposed to be from "The Rolling Stone" if that's true.... I'm gonna go kill the owner of the magazine and take his/her place, have evry issue that this list came inside of burned, and then stop putting Justin Timberlake on the cover. And the world shall rejoice.:1orglaugh:

Rolling Stone is a bullshit magazine filled with image concious screamo bands and dumbass ads for shit you see on MTV commercials and on myspace banners. If you want to read something respectable, just look at an independently run publication (basically, fuck ClearChannel) Also, what has "The Edge" of U2 done with a guitar that would get him on a list of greatest guitarist, let alone be the 24th best???? End Rant... :mad2:

    Yeah I know it would be a waste but I have always dreamed of taking out some coporate suit and making their corporate money-maker my own. Like MTV along with Rolling Stone... I just like to imagine the looks on Fall Out Boy and 50 Cent's faces as I fire them and never play their shit again. And then I'd welcome bands with talent in all the instruments and rappers with no grills and somthing to say.... *dreams* Then I'd start playing non-stop videos on MTV the way it was meant to be and then save MTV2 for interviews with artists and behind-the-scenes looks at videos and tours. And, of course, save a few TV shows like Jackass. That would be so much fun..... *makes speech from top of MTV Headquaters* "All right everyone, this used to be MTV, and now it's not. Every stupid TV show is getting cancelled right now and every poser band is getting fired on the spot. There is no more MTV. This place will now be used for people with talent, and if you think you've got some, round up your band and have security escort you up to the penthoue floor to play a few songs for me. And if you suck, you will be sent back downstairs until I get a giant slide installed that sends you down to the street- and may I ad all your instruments will be saved from the slide and given to needy kids who want to play. MTV sucks it's time for somthing new- I'll be up here waiting for talent." *Exits roof* *Loud cheers from people gathered on the streets who are sick of crappy music* lolololololololololol My fantasies get out of hand somthimes.

Bands that play for their real fans that actually listen to the music and support them by buying CDs and shirts and see them at some shitty bar. That's what it's all about for the musicians and the fans. Fuck all the fabricated shit that "Rolling Stone" :rolleyes: trys to sell you. But if you take over, you will have my support 100% ;)

I know that every real musician these days plays bars and lives of peanut butter and bread, I'd like to see them get paid a little more to let them own a house and car... I was reading this horrid article today during school. It had all this shit in it about needing a manager "Bands are companys, and they need to be run like companys...." "A manager guides the artist's career" "A band without a manager will fail." I don't see why bands need managers anyway....
