Slash

Slash made me love music!!! No one else, except Jimmy Page and Hendrix, do such a lovable riffs and solos!!

Saw him live earlier this year at Glastonbury. When I heard this guy was a self taught guitarist whose never taken a single guitar lesson in his life I was shocked. For those that doubt him I would seriously urge you to listen to some Guns N Roses music. You listen to "You Could Be Mine", "Welcome to the Jungle" or even the intro to "Sweet Child of Mine" there's some serious skills involved there.

Slash has showed that he can play any type of music. He can also play very fast, even though he chooses not to sometimes. You'll be surprised what he can do, he should be at the top of the list. He has the best riffs and every song has a memorable solo.

Have any of you ever heard all of the music Slash has produced over his life? This guy is my musical idol, sure he had some trouble with drugs and alchohol, so what. He's been into guitar all his life and he's worked very hard to achieve the image and respect he has today. People who say that Guns and Roses and Slash are overated don't know what they're talking about! Guns albums, Use your illusion 1 and 2 were number one and two at the same time in the charts! No band other than the beatles and Guns and Roses have ever achieved that. Slash is a legend, sure he's not the fastest guitarist ever to have lived, but like all great guitarists he puts his heart and soul into his playing and thats why he is such a respected guitarist today. LONG LIVE SLASH! ONE OF THE BEST GUITARISTS OF ALL TIME!

Love Slash to death, great tone. But honestly, he isn't good enough for the top 10. I'm not dissing on him in any way, but serioulsy, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and John Petrucci are behind him. Thats just plain not right.

Eh...just because you think Slash is "DA MAN!" doesn't mean he's good at guitar. He shouldn't even make the list.

Slash is the man!

Slash is a great Guitarist. The first song that i heard and was impressed with him was the sweet child of mine.

Slash is one of the greatest guitarists ever he is a legend right under Jimi.

Give the man a top hat and some vodka and the jam session is on!!! When Slash came up with the intro to Sweet Clild O' mine he thought it sounded like circus music. Little did he know that it would be one his most loved songs of his career.

Yes.....to Me Slash is my favorite Guitarist,man I remember him since Jr high school,King Jr high school Los Angeles he played there, I think that was him, but it was defiantly Him AND Duff that played Hollywood High out doors lunch time gig one year...those two are like twin brothers.Slash little brother use to go to that high school too, I grew up in LA Silver lake then Hollywood,discovered Jimi Hendrix there and learned how to play the Guitar there too, its was rock and roll 4real 95 1/2 KLOS days.slash is a true guitar hero/ HERE WE GO HUH/ CHECK ME OUT ON BOOLANDRIX... PEACE TO SLASH AND FAMILY 4EVER..WITH LOVE BIZMATIK

maybe...if you said there are many musicians play like him simply because moslty like his styles..he bacame famous at 80's its 2008 already..so many of them are already playing like him...i became musician because of him..because of his influence...slash for me is great..at least he had contributed something at music industry..

kicks ass too!!!

A competant enough player but there's nothing unique about his style or tone. I dont particuarly rate or like them but at least players like Angus Young, EVH and Santana have instantly recognisable styles. Then  again i guess being a member of the vastly overrated G n R and the abysmal Velvet Revolver dont help matters.

he has very good technique but his disadvantage although is that he is a bit aggressive

very good at holding a long note

hes the fucking shit

simply d bst

Derivative shite. There are dozens of guys who sound just like this, and you can hear them in bar bands around the country. Nothing at all special enough to put him high on a list like this

slash is the king of lead guitars.With his intro for sweet child o' mine and minutes long solo in november rain,he has proved it

He's deliberately slow!! Unable to simulate, unable to do a quick dial-up tone. Sloppy player.

Got some cool hooks but nothing special.

So good, and so hot!!

uh..how did they get a picture of his face

'guitar heroes' is a no brainer, Slash can't play at all. He's no heroe.

this guy is not a real guitar player, Slash = Trash.

nobody beats him....end of story

In rock and roll hall of fame night, this guy couldnt even sound half as mean as Eddie. He screwed up on 'Beat it' the tour with Michael and he messed up on 2007 RNRHOF tribute act.

I believe he is overlooked in the talent dept. because of his bad reputation.

GNR

He is a good guitarist though a little overrated, his guitar riffs are a little predictable. He is making an appearance on Alice Cooper's new album coming out July 29th. I heard the track and he shreds on that one since he is a big Alice fan. I wish he would get back with Axl.

coolest

Slash is another natural talent, self taught. The Guns N Roses material was exciting, some of the Slash's Snakepit stuff was interesting, but most of the Velvet Revolver material makes me wonder if he forgot how to play. Maybe he'll come back around to being creative now that Guitar Hero has renewed interest in his material.

was not fast with his fingers

crap-very overated poseur...Slash=all flash and trash

omg i love slash

He redefined rock in it's dark days. Renewed an appreciation for tone, and tastefulness. He can rock out with the best, but can also create some of the most beautiful and memorable guitatar melodies. His contribution to rock guitar is imeasurable.

Gotta be in the top 3

guns n'roses!!!!!!!!11

The best guitarist in the world. Maybe second to Jimmy Page. Hard to tell though. If GNR had stay together his longevity on top and catalogue would be as long and extensive as Page's. Either way he still rocks.

Slash is the best!!!

hellz ya bitch here he is the best guitar player! hes fucken awesome!!!!!!!!

SLASH IS EVEN BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHER GUITARISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SLASH IS AWSEOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

slash kicks it
