I like him and his work, but come on, best guitarist?!!
I agree with you. Slash is a great rock guitarist, but he beat out Jack White, Jimmy Page and Alex Lifeson? Come on. I thought most of the poll results were kind of boring and predictable. Glad Dimebag won, but that was pretty obvious.
If I see one more YouTube video of some fat guy’s fat, doughy gut and crotch shot while he plays some guitar piece, I think I’ll need Cialis to get my mojo back.
Think Slash really deserved it!!! He”s the best..
