The 50 Greatest Guitarists... Ever!

Who will make number one?...

 

  • 21. Slash (Saul Hudson) of Guns n Roses and Velvet Revolver - The man has more rumoured deaths than most bands have hit records. With Guns N’ Roses he was renowned for solos of astonishing length and vitality, in songs like ‘November Rain’ and ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine,’ Since their split, he has rebuilt his career with Velvet Revolver.  The standards of guitar work have been maintained, but with the hell-raising toned down slightly. (wenn)
