Skrillex named as one of SPIN’s 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time
After winning a handful of Grammy's, Skrillex's momentum (as acknowledged by various media sources) continues heading into the summer. Spin magazine has named Skrillex #100 on its '100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time' list. While an inherently flawed list - reasons of which we won't delve into here - the writers do provide if anything, an inventive and fresh take on their choice of guitarists. When arriving at Skrillex for the #100 spot, Spin notes his understanding of riffs, 'unfiltered piston-pumps of nu-metal,' and 'yawping melodies.' He does fit the billing per the criteria put out there by Spin.
