But, I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of them. Speaking for the junior farts on this thread, I think Slash from Guns N' Roses should be mentioned as one of the greats in terms of guitarists. I noticed that one of the earlier posts mentioned G'N'F'in R', as they often referred to themselves, and if you senior farts haven't checked them out, it'd be well worth your time IMO. They were the ****nit in the late 80's, and they have a cool, raw, bluesy, throwback sound, but at the same time, they have a very hardcore sound that I think any true rock and roll fan can appreciate.

The all-time grade-A number-one guitarists will always be "Chester and Lester", as their only duet album was titled - known to the rest of the world's pickers as Chet Atkins and Les Paul. Even Carlos Santana and Joe Walsh respected and learned from those two. BB King once said that "Chester and Lester" was his "inspirational music"

66StangFastback said:He had great vocals. All around i thought it was an incredible group, but all there egos got in the way, rather everyone elses egos, and axl rose's ego got in the way. They arent that old though. They hit it big in 86 i believe, and despersed sometime like 91 or 93, so, there just barely older than me, so by calling them old your calling me old, and im only 16..lol And about the vocal chords being blown, I wouldnt be surprised. He had a huge range and could belt out those high notes.
