Well, not discovered, I mean i just read it.
What is the only band that has had four of the Rolling Stone top 100 guitarists as part of the band (not all simultaneously).
I guess if you wanted to go crazy you could name them too for extra credit.

I am embarassed to say that despite looking at the list (but doing no further research), I don't know the answer. I can say that the list, as many RS lists, probably encites a great deal of controversy and disagreement. Knoffler at 27? http://www.rollingstone.com/news/sto...ts_of_all_time
So what's the answer Ice?
I'm guessing The Yardbirds.
Oooo, good guess nesta.Quote:

AFAIK: YB's only had Beck, Clapton, and Page from that list. That would have been my guess to though.
:confused:
well Jeff Beck was with them but that's only 3.Quote:

so yeah.
I heart Duane Alllman too.
I just found a note Il eft at a friends house when I was in Philly
"listen to the early Allmans"
im wierd.
got a few good discsto burn you tho for when you come through
Sounds like quite the birthday treat Woodsy.
It's not weird to listen to the early Allmans btw.
Yeah I knew those three, thought maybe there was a chance there was a 4th I couldn't remember, but then again I haven't seen the RS 100 list.Quote:

I wish I could make smoke rings.
maybe he visits Wikipedia on a regular basis.
You've been smoking how long and can't blow smoke rings? Go to a room with absolutely still air and start practicing!Quote:

That's what I did when I read your first post in this thread. Only my cat heard me say "Allmans". Then she chased the smoke ring.Quote:

That list is stupid, it leaves out some and mis-ranks others.
Also, it lists several of the better guitarists with the band name: Duanne Allman of the Allman brothers band
Umm, duh.
Then it list Dickie Betts without the band name, um hello? Of the two band members, which one would you need an identifier for.
Bluesbreakers was my first thought too.Quote:

That list does suck. Eddie Van Halen at #70? :nonono2:
That's cause he's friends with Dave. Otherwise he would have been in the top ten.Quote:

so many 'meh' guitarists on that list. then again, it is rolling stone. :nonono2:
If you guys wanna argue about the list, go for it. I'm not sticking up for it and this thread wasn't about it, but don't let that stop you.
And Alan Holdsworth? Shit they forgot Yngwie fucking Malmstein too! O NOES!!!!!
The Traveling Wilburys.
Are we still throwing supergroups out there?
No?
Who said anything about supergroups?
Besides, they were all shitty guitar players anyways.
No love for George Harrison and Jeff Lynne at least?
It was just my first guess knowing it was a Rolling Stone list and realizing the Yardbirds could only max out at 3.
Sorry for throwing somewhat of a non-sequitir out there and thoroughly ruining your day.
My guess was going to be 'Traveling Wilbury's'. 4 top 100 musicians easily, but probably not guitarists.
edit: Scoober beat me to that one
Zappa's bands had at various points:
Lowell George
Adrian Belew
Steve Vai
Eric Clapton
Jeff Beck
Al DiMeola*
Jimi Hendrix*
John Lennon*
Johnny "Guitar" Watson
where * denotes a 1 or 2 night guest appearance.
I would have guessed Zappa as well.
