    LISTS.......

    It's starting to sound like VH-1 in here.

    Everyone has their opinion, and most can't agree on one list, especially in a category like "best guitarist".
    Cause I'll stop trying to make a difference. I'm not trying to make a difference. I'll stop trying to make a difference. No way!

    According to this dude's site, Mike is ranked higher than Ingwie, Knopfler, Slash, SRV, etc....

    I don't really see how that is possible but in terms of popularity maybe I could see it but in terms of pure mastery of guitar, he isn't even in the top 200 or more, in my opinion.

    Who can you compare Mike to in terms of the current modern rock guitarists? Hmmm... maybe Rich Robinson, Jerry Cantrell, Slash, etc., ? Mike can certainly play with these guys but I don't think he is breaking down any doors when compared to them...

    Then again that Scaruffi list is ONE guys opinion .. I know that I would never put those guys in that order. But thenagain that´s just me and my opinion.. Just like DissidentBand I can´t see Mcready as a better guitarist like those guys mentioned above..
    Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.

    i think in the early days mike really stood out as being one of the bluesiest guitarists in modern music, i mean just listen to that incredible tone he produced in some of the earlier boots, i wouldn't rate him highly in comparison but it goes without saying that we wouldn't want him to change one bit, i do have to say though that he isn't a one trick pony in my mind but i see what everyone's saying

    I agree. In the 90's, Mike's style and tone was very refreshing over what grunge really was. He had the most classic rock style during that area along with Rich Robinson, I think.
