I know this sounds like a ripoff from Vy but still..

Who is the most overrated?
Eddie Van Halen, or Jimi Hendrix, that's my opinion.. Yes..

First of all for his time eddie Van Halen was an innovater and if not for him a lot of the sounds we got today wouldn't exist. The most overated gutarist would have to be Zakk Wylde. Although good he goes off of everybody else's stuff.

Zakk is god, I wholeheartedly agree. If you are gonna pick on an overrated guitarist, pick on that fag from limp bizkit. When I was reading an old guitar magazine and I came across an article entitled the best 100 guitarists of the century and that little fag from Limp Bizkit was in there. I felt like puking. !!

I didn't say he sounded like ****. He's got good tone, not as good as Adam Jones. I had the privalige of seeing him live with Ozzy and with his band, but I just cant see how anything he does sets him far ahead of everyone else. He is up there though don't get me wrong just a little too worshipped. I do want to get a bullseye guitar though. Other overrated guitarist would have to be that guy from Creed he's decent but the singer brings the whole band down. Also, The Slipknot guys their first album was alright Their new **** sounds terrible and I see these guys on the cover of Guitar world they could've saved it for somebody else.

DUDE TO SAY ZAKK WYLDE IS OVERRATTED IS PRETTY DAMN STUPID, THE MAN IS A F#CKIN GOD, AND WHAT HE DOES SETS HIM FAR FROM ALOT OF GUITARISTS , I HAVE ALSO SEEN HIM LIVE ABOUT 3 TIMES AND NOBODY PLAYS LIKE HE DOES, I WOULD KISS THE MANS FEET , IF ANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD OZZY LIVE AND LOUD YOU WOULD KNOW THAT ZAKK IS BY FAR ONE OF OR THE BEST GUITARIST THERE IS, HES IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN PURE AND SIMPLE ,
ZAKK F#CKIN RULES

well, if anybody says about a guitarist that he is god means he is overrated... Sorry, but playing the guitar even with the best skill there is, doesn't make you a god or whatever... So I guess YOU overrate Zakk

Don't take things so literally man, we say he is a god because we worship him and what he has done for the guitar.
Not because we actually think he's a god.

I'm not taking things literally, just read guitargod420's post... If you don't mean a thing, don't write it.

I hope that I never grow out of it. I don't think that you can grow out of good music. But you may be right. For the mean time I stick to my previous statement. ZAKK IS GOD!

i'm not talking about growing out of good music, but seeing how stupid it is to worship a guitarist, or anyone for that matter.

The hell with your heros we all go thro that when were
starting out.Man get a life and get out there and
play your guitar be your own hero.(STEAL and be your-self
These guys put thier pants on just like you do.
I agree with "L"

MARK
P:S Sure thier all good guitarists but you can be
better if you give it a try.(You got to be hungry)
Theres guitarists sitting at home and playing in bars
that could cook these guys on a bad day.
but they just did'nt get the break your heros got.
thier called the (Forgotten Heros)

Now why the heck would you say that Hendrix is overated? If i am not mistaking he was the most innovative guitarist ever. IMHO he is better than anyone playing.. and he died at 27.

You've only proved my point. I didn't say he wasn't good but everybody takes things at face value.

Zakk is very good, but I listened to Ozzy's live cd and he uses the same note in every song after playing the original chords, which gets anoying. Other than that he is the great.
