Re: Spin Magazine's 100 Greatest Guitarists

SPIN has a certain demographic that it appeals to. That demographic is definitely not guitar players, but people that view music as a fashion accessory. Its was certainly amusing to read some of the comments. How many of the 100 guitarists are going to be remembered in 100 years? probably very few.. most will become as unfashionable as quickly as they became fashionable

Re: Spin Magazine's 100 Greatest Guitarists

Eh, I don't know what they're actually winning besides solidifying the support of the people who already read/subscribe. They've now alienated an entire demographic that has been discrediting it. Will anyone here or on any other guitar/gear forums actually subscribe after reading?

Guitar Squid is one of my favourite guitar related blogs...
