How about the guys from Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax and Testament, or the foundation bands for Thrash metal.
Gave heavy rock/metal a big kick in the arse in the early 1980's.

Based on that summary, perhaps Noel Gallagher is the last real guitar hero?
Strip the image away, i doubt if he'd be as famous.
Couldn't that be said about any guitarist?
ICBM said:And the best debut album of all time?! It's not even the best rock guitar debut album, by any standard. (Off the top of my head, that would be either Black Sabbath or Van Halen, probably.)
It certainly is one of the best selling rock debuts of all time. However, defining what the best rock debut album is purely down to preference.

Knowing Slash, he'd probably agree with you.
And you'd both be wrong.
Slash has never been described as a virtuoso. It's his style and his sound that people value about him more than anything. Ironically, he's also a fantastically dexterous player. And he's a sex symbol. And a rock icon. And pretty much the dictionary definition of a guitar hero.
And anyone who disagrees with that can take their cardigan and slippers and go masturbate to Eric "yawn" Clapton somewhere else.
I think Slash is a good player, whether he is a fantastic player is another thing, Clapton is not a technically great player, but he has left a huge body of classic songs behind, such as Layla, I feel free, Tears in heaven and that old chestnut Wonderful tonight to name just a few. And lets be honest he hasn`t done bad with the ladies either.
What exactly has Slash done apart from sweet child of mine riff ? not a Guns and roses fan so don`t know.
