What guitarist have you heard or seen that did not live up to the hype.Who
is over rated.
For a long time I was hearing about Eric johnson.So one night I watched him
on austin city limits and I started wondering why are people writing such
wonderfull things about this guy.I thought he lacked in feeling and was no
better than most guitarist.So my pick for over hyped or over rated
guitarist is him. ____________________

Roy Clark is the most over rated. He makes more mistakes then not.

| The old man seen Roy clark in concert recently and was dissapointed.The old
man blamed his not so great performance on old age.Maybe its because he is
over rated. ____________________

He's always made tons of mistakes. He's more of a comedy act

I love Roy's version of Malaguena. Tons of feeling and no mistakes(on this
recording anyways  ).
Jack White and Kurt Cobain would be my toss-up for #1. Whoever put them in
the top 100 should be hung upside down with rabid chipmunks in their
boxers.
thanks,

To Spidercents.
re: Eric Johnson
We're talking about a very talented guitarist who does at least deserve
another listening to by you.
If Eric isn't as good as you think after another litening, that's fine.
However, there are other guitarists in the same rock idiom that do feel
that he is a highly gifted player and is their equal. Perhaps you've heard
of them......Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Paul Gilbert, Steve
Morse ..to name but a few well known names. Eric is in the same league as
these players.
Thanks and Regards
Christiaan

| Yeah I agree Eric Johnson can fire a guitar fretboard up. He's got his own
tone. I don't like his singing though. ____________________

Thats cool that people disagree in a civilized manner.Im not say ing hes
not good.However what ever tone or vibe and or feeling didnt grab me.I 'm
not a big fan of paul gilbert either.Joe satriani is someone I need to
listen to more to have a complete opinion on however Im not into his
playing much either.I liked steve vai on the eat em smile album but didnt
like the skscraper album.Steve morris I dont know anything about however
used to read his columm in the magazines.Thanks

I find Eric Johnson's opinion of he self quite conceted.
The man thinks his hearing is so accurate that he can tell what batteries
are in his effects pedals, He strikes me as a conceted fool.
Never heard his playing, but I dislike his attitude ____________________

I would of loved to of read that or heard it.That sounds kind of ridiculus
being able to distinguish what batteries are being used in your
effects.maybe he can.That still dosent make him anything special in my
mind.Hey if someone wants to change my mind on him send me a tape to listen
to.I will listen to it in my walkman.I think there are duracell batteries
in it.I can tell by the way the volume reacts when I turn it up.(Not) :no:
