Top 10: The Hard Rock Chick’s favorite modern day guitarists
Posted on 11.24.07 by hardrockchick @ 7:15 pm

Some of them are technically amazing, some of them are really fun to watch, and several are both…and many of them are highly underrated. These are all post-Slash era guitarists.

Tom Morello/Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, The Nightwatchman

Jerry Cantrell/Alice In Chains

Kim Thayil/Soundgarden

Robin Finck/NIN, GNR (the video is proof that he should keep playing the guitar and never, ever open his mouth)

Zakk Wylde/Black Label Society, Ozzy

John 5/Manson, Zombie

Tim Skold/KMFDM, Manson

Aaron North/The Icarus Line, NIN

Dean DeLeo/STP, Army of Anyone

Wes Borland/Limp Bizkit, Black Light Burns

  1. Good list. Strongly agree with the first 3.

    What about John Fruiscante (spell?) of Red Hot Chili Peppers, maybe make it to #11?

    Dave Navarro at #20? :-)
