Well here they are me fellow Axe lovers, me list of the ten greatest worst guitarists or at least the 10 guitarists I least like.
Dave Grohl - Foo Fighters. A drummer is a drummer is a drummer. Dave would be better off beating his guitar with his drumsticks.
Buckethead - who is this guy anyway, Buckethead. Anyone who wears a bucket on their head to get some press can’t have a lot of talent. Anyway, I hate KFC.
Neil Young – watching him trying to play a solo is like watching me ol gran cut her toenails without her reading glasses.
Jack White - White Stripes. Jack ol mate what can I say? Buy a tuner.
Steve Jones – Sex Pistols. Now Steve is quite a reasonable guitarist these days but in the time of the Sex Pistols it was all about rebellion and anarchy. Playing guitar was the last priority.Ol Steve played with all the feel of Nurse Ratchatt (One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest) and the precision of a bulldog eating breakfast.
Ed Kuepper – The Saints. Some bloody Aussie guy who played guitar like cutting down a tree with a handsaw (sounded about the same too). Played in some band called The Saints. You might not remember these guys they were responsible for such atrocities as Stranded and Misunderstood.
Keith Strickland - B52s - No explanation needed.
Paul Jonas - From the Jonas brothers because any band that comes out of the Disney channel has gotta suck. And that “butter wouldn’t melt in my mouth” look really gives me the shits. Come on son this is the music industry grow some balls, grow your hair and get a tattoo.
<No photo Available because he is that bad!!!!>
Joe Satchamacallit- for stealing my song “Lying in a Wet Dream” (read my bio)
Gary Moore- for taking me spot in Thin Lizzy (read my bio)
That’s about it. That’s me list and I’m sticking to it. If you don’t like it or you wanna add to it or take away from it, well, tough you can’t. It’s my list.

Very funny. Good on ya Axe.
May 27th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
I can think of a few more to add.
May 29th, 2009 at 10:37 am
Thanks for writing, I very much enjoyed your latest post. I think you should post more frequently, you clearly have talent for blogging!
May 29th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Dave Grohl? Come on! He is an ok guitarist.
July 12th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Well this is better than a lot of other lists I’ve seen. Just it’s Kevin Jonas not PAUL, not that I like them or anything, i completely agree that all three of them have 0 talent, and also that the whole little church boy look is not appealing to heterosexual male audiences. Sex pistols just suck all together, I would definitely have Steve in there, he can’t write riffs for shit, all his songs are like 3 chords.
July 20th, 2009 at 12:05 am
you cant just say these are bad guitarists, as they are just your opinion, also all the music they make is just there sound and way of playing, also if they’re making a livin out of it and if they can even play the instrument still means they’r gud at it,bucket head, whether he is talented or not, your just judging him on his appearence.jack white, whether his guitar is in tune or not, doesnt make him a bad guitarist
July 21st, 2009 at 10:38 am
Hahaha and who are you?or better yet what makes you to them?
i wanna see you play the guitar and see how great you are.
i knoe your no more better than them thats for sure
July 21st, 2009 at 11:24 am
i don’t agree about jack white, but that made me laugh Out Loud. Especially what was written about Steve Jones, fucking priceless.
July 21st, 2009 at 4:54 pm
Read my bio and then you will know who I am.
Axel
August 14th, 2009 at 1:57 am
your on crack. jack white and dave grohl do not belong on this list.
August 24th, 2009 at 9:11 am
come on…jack white and dave grohl..man is awesome can play drums,guitar and sing I would like to see you do it..and for jonas brothers yeah they’re gay and they suck,…,
August 27th, 2009 at 7:49 am
Thats a bit stupid putting one of the worlds most talented guitarist on that list (buckethead), id like to see you tap and sweepick at the same time and do anything else like that…but to be honest you’re right on the rest, most of them are not as talented as some out guitarists out there.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
Buckethead = #1 Guitarist virtuoso
September 16th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Gary Moore is the worst guitarist in the world
September 19th, 2009 at 2:32 am
THIS IS A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS MOST OF THEM ARE AWESOME
September 20th, 2009 at 10:33 am
I fucking love you for finally saying it, JACK WHITE SUCKS!
September 22nd, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Thank you for a great blog, I will be sure to bookmark your site and check back later
September 27th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
Really great blog here. Thanks!
October 2nd, 2009 at 11:52 pm
[...] important to develop a good sense of timing as early as possible or you will end up playing like Steve Jones (Sex Pistols). Playing to a metronome or a CD will help you learn to play in time. Another option is [...]
October 13th, 2009 at 4:43 am
Don’t think Neil will be too upset ending up on your list, having sold millions of records and all.
Besides his style was always about feeling and attitude, which is what music is all about…. rather than technical ability and clinical technique.
October 14th, 2009 at 11:49 am
I really liked your blog! I submitted it to digg. The jonas brothers are awesome
October 24th, 2009 at 4:31 am
For all of you who don’t know buckethead, he’s guitar one’s top 8 guitar shredders. He had also made movie soundtracks for beverly hills ninja, the ghost of mars, mortal kombat, power rangers etc. He pefers not to be in the mainstream so most people really didn’t know buckethead. He was also a former member of Guns n roses when Axl Rose made a comeback in 2001.
October 25th, 2009 at 1:56 am
there’s a lot i agree with on this list, but there’s also a few that i think you’re full of shit with. you couldn’t touch buckethead with a 10 ft. pole. and shit, if you’ve got buckethead up there, you might as well put paul gilbert up there, but we both know that they’re a hell of a lot better than you are. purely a case of jealousy behind ‘posterity’.
October 28th, 2009 at 7:15 am
honestly how could you dis buckethead, him being on here makes me think you did ZERO research for this and basically just raped 2 minutes of my life away from me. THANKS.
October 28th, 2009 at 8:02 am
Have you ever listened to Buckethead’s music? It’s impossible to say that he doesn’t have “a lot of talent.”
His stage getup may be weird, but his guitar skills are insane.
October 28th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
You’re alright with words sonny, but you are f@#$%^g retarded if you think Buckethead wears the bucket for publicity. It’s quite the opposite; he wears it so his face will NOT be associated with anything other than his music. Would you recognize him on the streets without the mask? No. Would the paparazzi? No. Would any stupid/embarrassing action he did on his own time be linked to his music in any way? No. You are obviously misinformed, it’s apparent in the way you assume someone sucks by their appearance. If you listened to buckethead, you would know that he is one of the greatest guitarist of all time, he can play eight-finger solos and chords like no other. Can you? No… so do us all a favor and keep your ignorant, unsupported opinions off the web.
October 29th, 2009 at 2:15 am
You guys who leave comments here should lighten up a little. Obviously this list is a joke! Its meant to be funny. Anyone who would put Gary Moore, Buckethead, Dave Grohl and Joe Satchamacallit (who I assume is Joe Satriani) on worst guitarist list has to be joking or know nothing about music and as I have seen the rest of the site I think the former applies. Its a joke. I get it. Why don’t you!
November 12th, 2009 at 11:29 am
ok. your list is pretty funny but you have to take buckethead off that list. listen to his music. the dude is an absolute god when it comes to playing the guitar. granted his appearance is a little off but his talent is 2nd to none my friend.
November 25th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Great job on your blog.
November 29th, 2009 at 9:12 pm
Thank you for a great blog.
December 15th, 2009 at 3:03 am
doooood! Buckethead IS one the most skilled guitarists in the world…u havent heard him as u said…but he actually underground…he got this famous cuz hes so god dman gud..n he dont want pl to kno his true identity..n still ppl dont kno about him..plz luk him up I KNOW ull change ur mind if u know anything about guitars….cuz he is the best…more skilled and seasoned than satriani and vai..i agree wid u on the rest..(all the jonas fags shud be here)
December 23rd, 2009 at 2:01 pm
You should add Tom Morello and Kurt Cobain. Otherwise this is a fairly good list.
December 30th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
you have a real mental problem if you think dave grohl is a bad guitarrist
January 2nd, 2010 at 3:06 pm
Buckethead has a bucket on his head and a mask so he doesnt expose what he looks like and hes decent guitar player ! id like to see this guy play nottinham lace !
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:15 am
Buckethead?
what the hell man! have you even heard his music? there is nobody else on this planet who can write symphonys this well and lead them with a guitar, take Soothsayer for instance, who else could play that? Buckethead plays the guitar to its full potential, and beyond.
Listen to his music and if your the musical judge you think you are, you’ll make the best guitarist page and he will be right at the top of it.
The reason he wears his mask is because on the outside he looks so emotionless, and only if you heard his music, you would understand how human he is. (and he dosent even wear the KFC bucket anymore
LISTEN TO HIM.
January 4th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
And you have a mental problem if you think this list is serious.
February 28th, 2010 at 4:35 am
Wicked cheers, very use full information. thank you.
March 11th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
I actually hope there are more posts like this one your site; we need to post the artists out there.
March 16th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
The Jonas Brothers are the best. My family saw them at concert and they are much sexyer in person. Next time I want to sit closer.
March 24th, 2010 at 2:07 am
Dude, U have some serious mental issues if u think Dave Grohl belongs on this list
March 27th, 2010 at 4:12 am
jack white is sooo good, he just isn’t after that preppy style that markets so well these days, he goes for the neil young-esk (actually he is trying to sound like son house type deal) thing, who really isn’t that talented and has done well for not being… do you love nickelback you seem like the type?!?
March 27th, 2010 at 4:23 am
k so i disagree with most of your decisions but this is hilarious, i like the angry people who have determined that the internet is not an appropriate place for personal opinions, or jokes… i hope this list, or parts of it are not serious (joe satchamacallit) but thanks for posting it anyway!!
March 28th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
a person who thinks Buckethead is a bad guitarist means that ***he knows nothing about guitar***, thats as obvious as sun. you know sometimes a person fails and you feel even more ashamed than him, this is it, i felt really ashamed after reading about buckethead…
please go try a blog about something else, like kitchen furniture etc…
March 29th, 2010 at 11:15 am
yeah if you dont think buckethead can play then your def/a fag and im gald that dude took your place in thin lizzie too…and i dont want to read your bio cause i can play better than you..goodbye you stupid loser
April 3rd, 2010 at 3:49 pm
slash is the most overated out there.He can only pick one direction.How good would he be if his name was bob smith
April 13th, 2010 at 2:58 pm
well i agree with you except bucket head have you heard that guy play? his done an album of every genre….and jack white? man that guy sucks why the hell does any one think he can play? he should be number one on the suck list
April 14th, 2010 at 4:21 pm
i hate you
April 14th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
the first 4 on your list are the opposite of not good. which makes them good haha
April 26th, 2010 at 3:19 pm
you’re retarded, how buckethead looks or acts says nothing of his musical talent. Listen to his music, he is one of the most gifted and talented guitarists in the world, he also writes beautiful emotional songs as well, anything on the album Colma or Electric Tears is genius
April 27th, 2010 at 8:20 am
Thank God it’s a joke, thought there was Grohl related hate going on here, but that would be offending my religion… :L
I definitely agree with that Jonas brother, God, they’re awful. They mime too, so not only are the instruments played like a blind cat would, they’re pretending to play like a blind cat would. No offence to cats…
Anyway, feelings vented, I’m off.
Long Live Rock & Grohl .
May 2nd, 2010 at 11:29 am
Haha..funny list for sure. Gary Moore should be on the list for stupidist guitar faces of all time. Some of these players are quite good though.
May 5th, 2010 at 10:05 am
Keith Strickland is a quality quitarist!!
Whoever wrote this list aint got a clue!
May 12th, 2010 at 11:32 pm
Why not put hendrix in the list if you’ve got buckethead. Damn idiot was always singing stuff over his guitar.
May 13th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
Because Hendrix is in my other list Top Ten Most Influential Guitarists of All Time. I can’t have him in both lists now can I?
May 14th, 2010 at 5:41 pm
Thanks for providing such useful information. I really appreciate your professional approach.

Oh..those silly Jonas Bros
May 22nd, 2010 at 4:50 am
is this for real? Jack White is incredible. You really should replace him with John Mayer.
May 25th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Is this list a freaking joke??? If you’ve ever watched a single show by them, you’d know that Jack White and Buckethead are pretty much two of the greatest guitarists of all time! And although Dave Grohl is a better dummer than he is a guitarist, his music is amazing. And “Paul Jonas”? come on… i hate the Jonas Brothers, and even I know that none of their names are Paul. They’re a damn children’s band, you’re not getting anywhere by bashing them.
Besides all of that, your arguments are pathetic. “I hate KFC” isn’t a reason to hate good music.
May 25th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
Oh and by the way even if this isn’t serious, you really need to work on your sarcasm…
May 26th, 2010 at 4:03 am
Cool post! Thanks! I adore the Jonas Brothers, specially Nick!!
May 26th, 2010 at 6:39 am
you just dont understand buckethead that well.. well no one really does but he was with you on Guns and Roses for 4 years and he was as good as slash himself. if you have a problem with him, dont ramble on and talk trash BOUT HIM IN YOUR “NO ONE GIVES A CRAP TOP 10 WORST GUITARISTS EVER RANT” just have some respect for everyone please.
June 1st, 2010 at 2:27 pm
I have to say, every time I come to http://www.axebay.com there is another remarkable article up. One of my friends was talking to me about this topic several weeks ago, so I think I’ll e-mail my friend the url here and see what they say.

That’s cool. I’m from LA and see the same attitude. Anyway, I’m gonna back soon.

Neil Young’s music is about music, the feeling that it provides, not the solos or technical skills though

Geez Axel after reading your Bio how the hell can you even consider saying that other guitarist are bad as far as your career goes it really sucks, half of your so called “Ten Worst Guitarists of All Time” would more than likley kick your pommie Ass anytime, all except Gary Moore bless his soul….but then he did that already!!
March 2nd, 2011 at 7:41 pm
Wow…that’s a pretty good list…hehe
March 25th, 2011 at 1:21 am
Buckethead is a bit of a tit, however his playing is phenomenal. He is a virtuoso, unlike you.
Loser.
April 3rd, 2011 at 1:36 am
Dude. really?? Buckethead can’t play?? You’re joking right?
May 11th, 2011 at 10:57 am
dude.. you obviously have not listened to bucket head… if you are sitting there calling him untalented take 5 minutes and listen to him play.. You may not like his music, but he is no less talented than any other guitarist out there
July 14th, 2011 at 12:40 pm
Well done to Dave Grohl for kicking out the wanker who was making trouble at the Foo Fighters gig at London’s Roundhouse – way to go, Dave!
