Ace F*cking Frehley ranked higher than Yngwie????

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!

I'd be angry if this wasn't such a f*cking joke.....

I *might* be able to fathom that if they said part of the criteria was "influence" because there are tons of players who were inspired to pick up a guitar because of Ace. HOWEVER in sheer ABILITY this list is a bit off.

James Hetfied and Kirk Hammet above Randy Rhoads? They have got to be joking!

Glad to see that Head and Munky of Korn got so high on the list but I would'nt have put them together.Either put one of them on the list or put them seperatly.I would have put Munky higher than Head and Vivian Campbelle is a good guitar player but he shouldn't be higher than Phil and Steve.

This list CAN'T be in order of talent. :laugh: At least it isn't all Mall Metal bands. :rolleyes:

This is almost as bad as the Rolling Stone list. And why the hell are there so many pairs?
