John Frusciante Named Top Guitarist
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/...guitarist.html
Former Red Hot Chili Peppers star John Frusciante has been named the greatest guitarist of the last 30 years. The musician left the rock band after they embarked on a two-year hiatus in 2007, choosing not to rejoin the group when they reconvened last year (09). He is now focusing on his solo career, but his work with the Suck My Kiss hitmakers has helped propel him to the top of a new list to find the best guitarists of the last three decades. Frusciante topped the poll by BBC 6 Music, seeing off competition from former Guns N' Roses rocker Slash, who claimed second place and Muse frontman Matt Bellamy in third. Former The Smiths star Johnny Marr came fourth, while the top five was rounded out by Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello. Thanks for the report to Contactmusic.com. ------------- Are you fucking kidding me. I hate RHCP. He's good but that band is terrible. ![]() |

Yeah, but it's top guitarist, not top band.

Very true. But I feel like the two are closely related.
I would expect this award to go to someone like Tom Morello. |

Everyone will have a different "it should have been this guy, but all of these guys are in the top ten." That's how these work. Also, Buckethead.

Every single list by VH1, MTV, Fuse and any music channel and every music magazine is 100 percent irrelevant. It's all based on popularity and the preference of the writers/guys in charge.

Frusciante's solo work is very different from his RHCP stuff. Have you ever heard some of it? It's quite amazing.

I heard one song a few years ago and from what I remember it was quite amazing.

Listen to his solo stuff and you will probably agree with this assessment

Also, he sessions for Mars Volta, playing the shit Omar Rodriguez-Lopez writes as he also produces.
I would put Omar above him. |
