Greatness is in the eye of the beholder. Just because some magazine doesn't print it up doesn't mean it's not true. I enjoy his music, therefor he's great in my eyes... I couldn't give a care in the world to who you believe to be great.

A) It's not in the eye of the beholder if we're discussing ability, which is what the title implies.
B) This isn't originally intended to be about who you like or don't like, is it? The title is "Who is the best guitarist of all time?", not "Who do you really like?".
The former catagory has not featured, nor will it ever feature, James Iha. That is a fact.

Prove to me that a favourite guitarist has to be all about technical ability... The thread starter was barely specific... You're just being a being a pedantic fool, either that of your just a fool who posts a reply from the thread title without having read any of the posts in the actual thread.
Either way you're an A-Grade (f/t)ool.
Prince is so underrated! I'd put him in my top 5 Easily. That's more than I can say for Kurt Cobain or James Iha ( I am a fan of both, but they aren't legendary by any mean when it comes to their guitar playing ability).
Here is my top ten actually.
10. Slash -GNR, Velvet Revolver
9. Alex Lifeson -Rush
8. Brian May -Queen
7. Randy Rhoads -Quiet Riot, Ozzy
6. Joe Satriani -Solo
5. Eddie Van Halen -Van Halen
4. Jeff Beck -Yardbirds, Jeff Beck Group, Solo
3. Prince -Prince, Etc...
2. Eric Clapton -Yardbirds, Cream, Derek & The Dominos, Solo
1. Jimi Hendrix -Jimi Hendrix Experience
Now my favorite guitarist would have to be...Jack White probally as of right now. I love the Music he puts out. So there, I answered both Favorite and best. Whatever this thread is about...

You see the title before you see the opening post. The thread title needs to be changed if that's not what the thread is about.

If we're discussing who is actually the BEST guitarist, then best must be something that can be proven, and technique is the only objective part.
If the thread title said "Who's you're fav?" then you'd be well within rights.

Despite me having posted in this thread long before you ever did, I'll overlook that remarkably silly and uninformed statement.
This thread was largely about being objective, which I believe IS pointless because A) Half of you have no clue, more probably, and B) There's no fun to be had there.
However, if we are discussing objectively, then James Iha factually would not be there. If we're no longer discussing technique, then do as you wish.
Ftool? Sort the lisp out.

You really are a total moron, if the thread was about technical ability then the thread would just be pointless... Everyone knows it's Hendrix... For Christ sake just let a guy post without jumping on his back about it... You must be ***** slapped to the ground in real life... It's the only way of justifying the fact that all of your posts make mountains out of molehills..
All I said was "I quite like James Iha". Now how could you read that as me thinking that Iha was the greatest guitarist of all time? He's not the best, simple as that. I enjoy the music he plays and writes... I don't care about the fact that he can't perform like Brian May or Jimi Hendrix. I also don't care what the thread title says, I generally read through the thread before posting, at least a couple of pages.

It's not actually, there are better technical guitarists. I'd advise not using the word "Moron", dude.

Why are you stressing out? I made a comment and you chose to have a fit over it. You like James Iha, you think he's good, that's fine. If this was about technique, which a bulk of the thread has been, then he would have no place, fact.
Quit acting like a fool.

I've been in this thread since the first page, and it's been largely about technique. Hardly anyone was speaking about preference.
If you chilled out enough to realise that I agree, there's no point discussing technique, then you'd also realise that my only point was "If we're discussing technique, people should stop just naming guitarists they like.".
Relax and read my posts.

I don't care what you have to say anymore, I don't even read half of what you write anymore because the large majority of it is drivel... You think you're right all the time. I used to be fine with it but you're actually a ****. That's all I have to say... I know this is off topic and I know you'll come back and reply to this post with something to protect your ego, you do that... Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Iha's not even my favourite guitarist, it was just a passing comment after listening to a few Pumpkin songs. My favourite guitarist I posted later; hide from X Japan, I doubt you've ever even heard of him, he was an amazing guitarist, far better than Iha.

And yet, nobody mentions him. Strange. Maybe musical preferences do play a part in this thread after all ? He's hardly an idol, is long dead and forgotten, and the music he played, is much too boring for the rocking youth of these days.
For the record, he is a bit boring, I only like a few songs of him. But still, he should at least get nominated here. Exactly the same thing can be said about John Williams btw.
For those who care : a little video of Segovia in action. Forget about your musical preferences, it's all about technique, and Segovia has an awesome technique.

I've known X Japan for a while, Hide is really good on the song Weekend, at least I like the guitar on it, but I'm not fond of them. Don't make assumptions. You may think you're cool because you are a self-proclaimed "J-Rock" fan, but that doesn't mean others don't know more than you. I've listened to Japanese bands for a while.
Secondly, you clearly do read what I type and now you're just having a temper tantrum, sad really.

Sad, but I agree. People rate him as such posthumously. In all honesty, I rated him one of the best even when he was alive, since I am a diehard Pantera fan, and his music was one of the influences that turned me onto metal music when I was a young boy.

I only assumed you hadn't heard of him because most haven't. I don't think I'm cool for liking J-Rock... It's just a genre, I can make as many assumptions as I want to I never said people don't know more than me, I feel you're really clutching at straws now. It's like be giving you a lecture because you spelt hide with a capital H...
I don't even need to read what you type anymore though, all of your posts are the same; "I'm better than you, I know more than you, anything you say is wrong. If what you say is right I'll just ignore it and mock something else about your post." You can never just let things slide, it's really rather pathetic, I'm just passionate about the music I like, call it a temper tantrum if you wish, I only hope it will help you sleep knowing you annoyed someone who you'll never meet.
