Great List.So many others you could add to,Eddie Van Halen , Slash,Angus Young, C.C. DeVille , Adrian Vandenberg , Joe Satriani the list goes on and on.The label of "Greatest" is to broad imo.

I love Poison but C.C. Deville is hardly a great guitarist.
Let's not forget about Vito Bratta- White Lion.

Again "greatest" is a very broad term and is pretty much dependent on each persons tastes. :)
To me , every one of my fave rock bands guitarist is Great..

Billy Gibbons, the man and the beard. ;D

the question is: if jimi hendrix appeared today, would he still be considered as great? or would he wither away in some bar on saturday nights?

it would depend. would he adapt to the current climate of music? i am not a fan of jimi, but he did have a certain touch not all guitar players have, and a charisma that brings people to him. but i would say if he was the exact same jimi, he would not fare well at all.

Steve Stevens was pretty good.

He would go knock on the Purple One's door and tell him to give his look back, then backslap him for turning the Guitar Hero deal down.

jimi owns all.
kurt cobain and billy corgan could write the hell of a melody. They aren't the most skilled but they were great.

I agree about Cobain but Billy Corgan is actually a pretty good guitarist.

That was 1985 dude! Eddie Van Halen era. Everyone was trying to emulate him at the time. It was all about the tapping and using the whammy bar for just about anything. The sweeping stuff though gives it away: He's not that good, he can't play scales fast enough.
My votes are:
Yngwie Malmstein: Insane arpeggios, great melody and music that sounds like he actually gave it some though (as opposed to Steve Vai or Joe Satriani, who are as fun to listen to as two flies fucking).
Vinnie Moore: Similar to Yngwie but stayed within the rock licks enough to produce something like Meltdown, which, 17 years later still resonates in the back of my head.
Zakk Wylde: Amazing speed, precision and pinch harmonics. And he's actually a very funny, funny guy:
Gary Moore: Best bluesman out there.

One of my favorites has to John Petrucci. Accurate, clean. My all time fave is old Eddie Van HAlen stuff. Thats what got me playing all those years ago. I dig some Paul Gilbert and Al Di Meola too.
I had a chance to meet Steve Vai and satriani during the G3 tour. I was so nervous I spit all over him and made an ass of myself. He was like, "Whoa." I think he might have thought I had brain damage or something lol.

As usual, the posts here seem to lack a broad range of artists when the term "greatest" or "best" are thrown around.
How can you make a list that is made of exclusively of guys from one genre? One style of music? I realize the OP titled the thread 'best rock guitarist' but the posts that followed listed guys that are not of that genre.
Every genre needs to be looked upon when you compile a list of this sort, really. Guys like Charlie Christian may not have been rock, but certainly influenced those guys. Without Jimi Hendrix you wouldn't have half the theatrics in music today, nor would you even have Jimi without Buddy Guy!
Music moves in a somewhat linear fashion. You don't really get from point A to point Z without having the rest of the alphabet.
And then there's the the issue of categorizing certain players. One guy has Gary Moore as a rock player- that's certainly correct. Another has Mr. Moore as a blues player. While he did make "blues" albums, he is not blues! Just because you play a blues scale and make a weird face while doing so, does not make you a blues player. Scott Henderson, a very talented cat in his own genre and for what he does, has a video where he's talking about playing blues and while his words say one thing, the "blues" he claims to play is that of what drips from a wetback's ass after a night of drinking during a burrito party.....
