Though I can't say I'm a big fan of his music, I will acknowledge that Prince is one of the most underrated guitar players out there. Just watch the video of his performance during the memorial concert for George Harrison; he positively burns up the stage during "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
Of course, the most underrated guitar player is Richard Thompson, but Guitar Hero has no appreciation for the acoustic guitar. Seriously, Thompson does solo performances that sound like three people are playing with him.

Don't own Guitar Hero, and if I did I'd get one with a lot of Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin and Queen.
The nostalgia of that quote is huge.

Wow those were awful picks.
At no point did it occur to you to have Guitar Hero: Led Zeppelin? The person who made this forum doesn't seem to actually like rock or guitars.

Avenged Sevenfold mainly for Scream (my unofficial theme song)
Isn't there a Dethklok track pack out yet? I know Laser Cannon Deth Sentence is on the XBL marketplace but I can never have enough of the klok

Are you serious about any of these? It´s callad guitar hero for a reason. Give me some Black Keys or Black Mountain. Oh no, wait. I´ll just play them on a real instrument.
MOAR PEARL JAM!
Lots and lots of Pearl Jam.
Hell, just give me their entire catalog.
Maybe some STP, Soundgarden, and few Nirvana songs, too.

I don't own Guitar Hero, nor do I realize how that's supposed to contribute to this discussion about which artist is the best.
R.E.M., Led Zeppelin, more Ozzy Ozbourne songs, more Queen songs, even more Queen songs.
Yeah, that's about right.
Oh, and more Lynyrd Skynyrd. NOW!

Wow, what choices.
I mean what would be the point to have kanye or beiber? Beiber couldnt find a guitar if you drew him a map and Kanye would crush one under the weight of his own ego before he strummed the first chord.
Its really sad that the best choice on this list is prince. Dont get me wrong, I like rock/metal more than anything else, but seriously excluding their singles on their albums, the remaining 95% of Avenged sevenfolds tracks are just horrible. It was a worse experience hearing those albums than enjoying filters soundtrack songs like "hey man nice shot, and trip like I do, then buying the album and furiously trying to invent ear bleach to unhear what had been heard.
If you like Avenged sevenfold, more power to you. I feel like as far as radio friendly rock goes, they are pretty darned good. But their gold to garbage ratio is way too high in my book.
So, yeah, bring on purple rain I guess. At least Prince knows how to use a guitar in a specific funk style, even if he rarely uses it for more than a prop.
