You might be able to tap a few colored buttons on a plastic guitar, but that doesn't mean you can hang with the legends of rock. Looking at the faces of all those "Guitar Heroes" out there reveals only empty stares and the occasional drool.
If you want to be a real guitar hero, you gotta make the face. It's the only way to show that every note is ripped from your soul.
After the jump, the Top 10 Guitar Faces in Rock.
10. Between the "tapping" solos and the guitar face theatrics, Eddie Van Halen was the ultimate show boat.
9. Without the dangling cigarette, Slash can't control his guitar face.
8. Kirk Hammett pioneered the "catching flies" look.
7. Holy crap, what Journey song could Neal Schon possibly be playing?
6. Joan Jett will fuck you up.
5. Is Carlos Santana's guitar biting his fingers?
4. With that upper lip, Angus Young could have worked in the freakshow.
3. What the hell is Keith Richards doing to that guitar?
2. Jimi Hendrix is probably the only one who can get away with this guitar face.
1. When you're sportin' a double-necked guitar like Jimmy Page, you better bring your A-face.

Dude, Robin Trower. Most consistent guitar face on the planet.
dude! John Mayer! He's notorious for his masturbatory guitar faces.
yeah but john mayer sucks so why bother
No Steve Hackett?
FYI, on number one, that is a Gibson Eds 1750. GOD!
Lol. If you can see my email address, don't ask... it's a long story.
I agree
no slowhand eric clapton?
David Gilmour tops them all.
Martin Barre of Jethro Tull should have been considered. He has a face that only a mother can love and she might be jiving too. He makes some weird faces in concert.
Buddy Guy. I swear, everytime he goes past the 9th fret on any string, he creams his pants.
I don't see David Gilmour, Tony Iommi, or Eric Clapton.
