KISW Top 99 Rock Guitarists!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Tomorrow, KISW will play the top 99 rock guitarists!!

But on the list on their website, they don't specify which songs, just put the name of a guitarist...

Kind of odd when there are tons of songs and styles that represent an artist... (i.e., The Edge of U2).

Michael Schenker at #94?? He is one of the most influential guitarists in metal!! He's influenced Kirk Hammett, for one. They can't even spell his name correctly. I was lucky to see him three times with UFO in the 70's. Amazing guitarist.

I noticed that at #66, they forgot to mention the song by Jeff Beck was "Freeway Jam." He's one of the greatest, too.

How come they mention K.K. Downing of Judas Priest, but not Glen Tipton?? And I HATE the fact that out of all the great songs by Judas Priest, KISW ONLY plays "Breaking the Law", prolly only because it was on Beavis and Butthead...

I think that they only play this one song because they're too afraid to play anything more by JP, because of Rob Halford's *taste in women* (I'm guessing)...

They mentioned Steve Stevens as having played on "Rock the Cradle of Love"--wait, wasn't he NOT playing with Billy Idol at that point??

I'll have to check...Nope, just as I thought, checked Google on the Charmed Life album, he wasn't there.

I've been actually disappointed by this list, because the songs seemed so predictable. But it was great regardless.
