the true rock god??

Hendrix of course

 

I'm interpreting this as people who define rock n roll and not necessarily are the best at their insturment. I don't even consider duane allman a rock guitar player.

Top 10 rock gods:
1) Mick jagger
2) jimi Hendrix
3) jim Morrison
4) Steven Tyler
5) jimmy page
6) maynard James keenan
7) ozzy osbourne
8) eddie van halen
9) kurt cobain
10) slash

 

i would being less than truthful if i didnt go with Elvis! around here it is a common saying: dont thank god thank Elvis

 

GG Allin.

Nuff said.

 

I voted "other" because I don't believe there really is any guitar "god". Music is a creation of the human soul, which is very much organic and definitely NOT of "god". "God" in whatever form, may have had some influence during the writing/performing process, but "god" did not directly performed the music. Therefore, regarding a musician as "god" seems a tad unrealistic.

I however believe all of those musicians mentioned in this thread so far was born to do what they did. They are/were destined to play music and touch the hearts of so many people. For that, I feel totally comfortable placing guys like Billy Joe Armstrong and Kurt Cobain right up there with Hendrix and Satriani.

 

Fuck you choices JIM MORRISON!!!!!

 

stevie ray vaughan, he definitely beat hendrix...listen to little wing

 

Out of the three you put, Hendrix.

However, there are so many others. Too many choices.

 

I absolutely love Hendrix, so that is my 1st choice.

 

you spelled DUANE Allman wrong

 

interesting... please expound

 

That may have been an unfair statement since I guess he was in Derek and the Domino's and I haven't heard that much of The Allman Brothers. But his supposedly defining statement of "Live at Filmore East" he sounds like strictly a blues player to me.

 

Hendrix is the one isn't he. As a guitar player myself, he is incomparable.

 

all i can say is i'm glad i'm not a guitar player because jimi hendrix has already done it.

 

eric clapton is winning over duane allman ??

eric will tell you right now duane is better than he is lol

 

Eric Clapton has way better riffs than any Allman Brothers songs. Eric Clapton was in like 5-10 different groups. Duane Allman mainly played slide guitar so it's hard to compare the two.

 

duane died at the age of 24, eric is still alive so that accounts for playing in more bands. you've probably listened to more eric than i have and i've probably listened to more duane than you have. i voted for jimi anyway

 

...Bad Post
