Wendigo started the most under-rated well know guitarist thread so...

Pick the most over-rated guitarist you can think of. Pick someone well know, because of course there are millions of terrible guitarists that everybody has ever heard of.

Yngwie... can somebody just make him go away? and does anyone REALLY care one bit about this guy? I don't get it- or him.

Oh yeah, just that Led Zeppelin would have been better with Page's first choice for guitarist/singer for the "New Yardbirds" Steve Mariott!
Unfortunatley Mariott wanted to start a new band and not join an established band, so he formed Humble Pie; however, the "New Yardbirds" ended up becoming Zeppelin.

Keith Moon didn't think they would go over too well, hence the name.

Jimi page is a guitar legend! He can play anything you throw at him and his improvising is just mind numbingly incredible. Listen to heartbreaker live in “how the west was wonâ€

The Edge! Oh my god, that guy has never played a thing that has made me even raise an eyebrow. What a useless tit. And who dubs themself "the edge" anyways? Wrestlers, that's who. Soooo over-rated.

Well yeah -- everybody knows all that stuff?

But I don't understand what your saying? Page wanted to manage and Steve Mariott would be th bands guitarist?

PS: Page really sucked after 73 live -- although I've been pretty happy with some of the 95/98 Page Plant bootlegs I have.

This kind of doesn't answer any questions...but I've always liked Clapton much better than Hendrix.

Flame suit on.;)

Man, what a wortheless thread. This is the part of forums that I despise: "Who sucks?" Great. Fantastic. Super.

Personally, although I don't care much for his music, Yngwie is a phenomenal guitar player. I saw him on a G3 tour and he compoletely stole the show. Still, I don't care much for his music.
