Who is the Best Axe Man of All Time
If you ask ten people out there who the best rock guitarist is of all time, you will no doubt get ten different answers. The reason for this is simple: everyone has different tastes in music, and everyone has a different opinion of different bands out there. There are some people out there who will swear that Eric Clapton is the best guitar player of all time, while others will fight you if you don’t say that it’s Eddie Van Halen. The fact is, you can give as many answers as you want and you’ll never find a “undisputed” number one answer that everyone can agree on.
People tend to discount recent guitar players, of course. Since people don’t tend to look kindly on the “newest” axe men out there, they need to look past some of the true virtuoso’s that are out there today. This includes everyone from Matt Bellamy of Muse (if you’ve seen him live you know what he can do), Jack White of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs (one of the best “old school” guitar players playing music today), and of course Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine, who can do things to his guitar that few others can do.The information party rocks on: Muoio’s Four Favorite Guitarists
