Keith Richards officially the 4th Greatest Guitar Player of all time!!

This calls for HEROIN!

...

he's really good, but out of everyone of all-time? its kinda hard for anyone to be worthy

This is like the who is the best rapper threads...

Eminem. Bitch.

The fourth Pirates movie sucked...

/Thread

I can maybe understand Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page placed above him but I think the selection of Eric Clapton is kind of ridiculous. Eddy Van Halen is up there but he's no Keith.

That old geezer isn't in the top 50 of earth.

Like so many others you confuse speed with quality and talent.

Watch the "old geezer" burn it up with this great riff from 4:50.

White rappers!

That Steve Vai solo sounded horrible to my ears.
No thanks!

Steve Vai is the Christina Aguilera of guitarists.

Steve Vai is the Best, next to Joe Satriani and Paul Gilbert.

Yeah, well, you're Dutch.

The shit is unlistenable, I'm sorry.

It's also BS thaat George Harrison of the Beatles comes in at number 11. Harrison arguably number one-

Also the ugliest pedophile in all time as well.

I feel so sorry for all the young girls AND boys this man has destroyed.

Do some research people - you don't become the 'best' without a little help from your friends (well, our ENEMIES).

What ignorance for a conspiracy site:(

Holy crap, you guys are funny.

I've always thought Harrison was an awesome guitarist.
Eleven isn't bad at all.

Richards deserves to be up there, one of my favs, the more things change, the more they stay the same-

Frank Zappa at only #22 is a travesty. Having seen him live twice, I can only pity those of you who will never see his fingers work..

Steve Howe at only #69 is a crime. Few have the mastery of more styles of playing than him.

As a Stones fan ( but realistic), I'd give Keef top-twenty status...

I don't care about fast fingers.


Look at all the fantastic power riffs Keith came up with!
Satisfaction
Jumpin Jack Flash
Can't You Hear Me Knocking
Monkey Man
The entire Exile album
The entire Beggars Banquet album
Gimme Shelter
The huge and incredibly original Sympathy solo
Brown Sugar
Heartbreaker
On and on......

You don't get it. That is according to Rolling Stone a magazine. What does a magazine know about music ? THeir opinion is as good as the guy at Walmart. Keith the greatest? Give me a break. The guy only knows 5 chords. Put him on a gig and Mike Stern will play circles around him. A one year student could cop his solos. Obviously you don't know music.
