Top Five Most Overrated Guitarists Of All Time

View Comments
Slash And Joe Perry

A lot of people give credit to the guitar player when they hear a great song. This often leads to the guitarist being called one of the best of all time.

What follows is a list of guitar players who routinely show up on lists of great players based on what the band did, not what their playing did for the band.

# 5 Slash of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Guns N’ Roses[/lastfm].

Yes Slash did give one of the greatest rock albums of all time with Appetite for Destruction.  But he brought nothing new to the table.  Nothing innovative.  Although it all sounds cool he never made me say “OH MY GOD HOW DID HE DO THAT?”

    Slash is wayyyy over rated as are the ACDC boys. None of their stuff is impressive in the least. Also where is Hammet?

    How come kurt cobain is not in the list. He sucked shit and destroyed real good music of the 80s

    Get your goddamn facts straight. Jimmy Page credited David MacCallum for the bow idea since he basically asked him to try it in a song. And by your logic, using the theremin and getting people to believe it was a guitar makes you overrated. I think you really should revise this.
