Even limiting to guitarist/singer that's a pretty odd list. |
They are both incredible guitarists, as well as successful singers and songwriters that sold a comparable amount of albums to Prince. Hetfields lead singing and innovative rhythm playing created an entire genre, his down stroke method of rhythm playing changed hard rock and inspired tens of thousands of musicians.
Greenday has sold 82 million records off Billie Jo's singing and guitar playing. He's also a very good guitar player, better than Prince technically they just choose to play their own style of punk rock (whick makes them one of the most successful punk rock bands ever). Seemed like very apt comparisons .
