You know what to make of this

Dime was by far the coolest guitarist ever. Now it's probably Chad Kroeger from Nickelback...

No seriously, I'd have to say Cantrell because he's genuine and has no ego bullshit, and he appreciates where he is despite being a huge influence on a whole generation of guitarists. Adam D from KSE is up there IMO too because he is super talented, no ego, and the dude wears capes, viking helmets and really short shorts on stage.

Oh yeah and Hevy Devy and Skwisgaar Skwigelf get honorable mention for just being f'n awesome!!!

Whos cooler than EVH in the Hot For Teacher vid?

 

[Mr. Willy]

No contest.

 

[Joeytpg]

No contest.

+1!

 

[Mr. Willy]

Circa '83-'93, yes. Post '93, no. James lost all cool points with the band therapist

Some good candidates here, but there's only one winner:

 

[Marshall Law]

my thoughts exactly, the Rev Willie G

No contest.

+1!

Although I don't fully agree, pretty much due. Thus the young James era pic

Wish I could have seen him live back in his day.

I'm not saying he's the hottest, the best, or anything of the like - you said "cool", and man, whenever I think of the coolest cat on the 6 string, it's gotsta be....

PS - kudos to the incredible Rhoads shot however, definitely one of my lifetime heroes.

 

[boost]

Keef
The Rev
Joe Perry

In that order.

 

[sinfish]

This is a no win situation. I will mention for "cool" Slash, Hendrix, & Nugent. And Bass cool Bootsy Collins.

Metal Cool I will have to Agree DIME is king, James Hetfield in the early days. Don't forget Cliff Burton.

I also with Billy Gibbons and Kieth as COOL.
