Without a doubt, Kerry hasn't come up with a good solo since Divine Intervention IMHO and even then I'd say that Tom has far more imgaination and variation to his playing. Just listen to the 2 solos in Seasons In The Abyss for proof. King just seems to play the same solo with slight variations especially over the last 2 albums and he is the only person I know to use his wah pedal more than Kirk Hammett!

I am surprised there has been no mention of Kurt Cobain - he may not of been technially brilliant but sometimes less is more....
mmm... nice songwriter - but...Being a great guitarist is more han just being able to play highly technical stuff, decent riffs are more important that guitar solos.
My personal favorites are:
Adam Jones (Tool)
Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains)
Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction - check out the solo on 3 Days)
Tom Morello (RATM / Audioslace / Street Sweeper Social Club )
Kim Thayil (Soundgarden)
I think John 5 or joe Satriani are very good - but I only play their CDs occaisonally...

I agree. For me what makes a great guitarist is the interaction between the other instruments. It's not all about how fast you can bang notes out on a bit of wood with wires on it but how you play with time and create space with the other elements of the music. Cobain was pretty good at this, Hendrix was more than good at it as is John Frusciante to name but a few...
