AC/DC's Angus Young named Australia's greatest guitarist

[scoob]

Bit of a silly poll in the first place IMO. What defines 'great'?

Being better than really good

My friend goes alright round the campfire.

he'd be better than Chris Cheney

Chris Cheney is a gun. Some fantastic guitar sounds have come from living end. Unfortunately not everyone does 70's soft rock ballads as per your liking...

So you would rate Chris Cheney as 4th best Australian guitarist ever?

[the milky bar kid]

How about you give us the reason you don't think he is based on technical ability, creative ability & commercial success.
Actually make points this time instead of saying carp like you always do.
Then after that please inform me how you are more qualified than those who compiled this list.
Cheers

Ok, this is for the milky bar kid - you asked for it so here goes:

I have actually seen the Living End live and they are a high energy and entertaining act. However, I would describe Chris Cheney's rockabilly playing style as simple, boring and predictable. He's a one trick pony that tries too hard to be Brian Setzer. I think he uses too much distortion, plays the same old guitar using the same old pickups = same sound. There's not alot of variation in tone, or tempo for that matter. I find his music unoriginal using the same pentanoic blues scale for every solo that any kid can copy and most of his stuff is in the same key...hardly creative. Commercial success? well mediocre would best decirbe it, the Living End are hardly up there with Australia's elite and compared to some of the other associated acts in the top 10 they hardly rate at all.

Now, if we could have your top ten please?
