In terms of popularity? Maybe. He's definitely experiencing a lot of attention lately between his autobiography, Guitar Hero, a new solo album, etc. He probably has a really good publicist and management.
In terms of playing ability? No way. Even if we're not talking on a technical level, there are many more prolific players out there. Not knockin' him too much, he's a great player. Just not top 5 material. IMO, of course.
