Who Gets Your Vote For Worst Rock Guitarist?
I was wondering who you thought was the worst guitarist?
My votes: C.C. DeVille - Poison and Mick Mars - Motley Crue
Thoughts?

Why are they the worst?
20 years ago they were rock n' roll icons, made more money than you ever will, and have banged more women than you.
What have you ever done?

This is not about their band or their conquests. It's simply about their guitar playing ability.

Duuude, I don't care how much snatch Mick got in his life, or how much $green$ he made. I'm just saying he (Mars) was a bad guitarist. That Crue still made fair-decent music is ok by me.

You ask why they are the worst, and then state things that, funnily enough, wouldn't stop them being the worst even if they were.
Being icons, being rich, and being promiscuous doesn't make them good.
I love that stupid "What have you done?" argument. It's the fastest way to hurl your own opinion out of the window.

Can't agree with the Mick Mars thing. I always thought he was very underrated.
Worst rock guitarist? Noel Gallagher. Boring pentatonic shite.

God I fkn hate Yngvie wanksteen. He's made a career out of copying every great guitarist and getting their talents and wiping them on his shitty arse and putting them out on record as his own compositions.

Does that make him a bad guitarist though? Maybe it makes him a poor business man, but not a bad guitarist. We all know the speed freak's got talent.

Yes, talent for being a speed freak.
When he writes a song that is void of complete technical wankery and...regular wankery, we can talk.

Never really put much thought into the worst guitar player but Green Day has some very easy and lame guitar riffs they get the award for me.

Green Day's simplicity > Malmsteens boring technical crap

I can play every green day song I have tried to learn and I can't play any of malmsteens. Songs that consist solely on simple power cords and basic cords may sound nice but require no skill to write or play.
You man not like Yinggay’s lifeless playing but that doesn’t change the fact that his classical scales are some of the hardest and fastest in the world; while green days power cords can be done by a 8 year old.
