Who do you think was the best rock/metal guitarist of all time? Personally I like Eddie Van Halen's work. But Angus Young is phenominal. The theres Jimmi Hendrix......
T.RexSalvaged from archive5 Jun 2006, 23:02
Why limit it to just Metal and Rock? Its really hard to pick a favourite, though some guitarists I rate very highly are: Gary Moore: His blues guitar work is amazing, and is metal is extreamly good aswell. Techniquly very good, with lots of passion behind his music. David Gilmour: The master of slow guitar in my opinion. The Solo's at the end of comfortably numb are amazing examples of this. Jimmy Page: Possibly my current favourite. Istantly recognisable. Syd Barrett, Pete Townsend, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Brian May, Eric Clapton, and many more.

hendrix, page, clapton, others that i cant thnk of but not as legendary as these 3
Rocker KidSalvaged from archive6 Jun 2006, 01:58
OK all guitarists of any genre of music. Pete Townshend. Probably my favorite because he inspired me to pick up guitar. Dimebag Darrel. Great with those unforgetable riffs RIP Joe Perry. Aerosmith guitarist great with rock and the blues. I can't think of who would be the best guitar player of all time but I don't really think you can really say who is better than who honestly.

Stevie Ray Vaughn was Unbelievable. I just watched a guy named Jerry C. He is probably better than anyone I have ever seen !!!!

I love Joe Perry..... :) Aerosmith is my favorite band of all time! Their one of mine! I absolutely LOVE Steven Tyler's voice he can go so high and distort it really well. Too bad the poor guy has throat problems now but he's getting better. Every 15 minuites a drunk guy calls a radio station requesting Aerosmith sombody said. Actually I was in Chili's at around 10PM one time and over the speakers comes an Aerosmth song and some drunk dude at the bar was like: "Alright Aerosmith!" I was cracking up. :lol:

Ive heard Toys in the Attic, I dont have it anymore. Like I said, there music is pretty standard and medicore. Likable and certainly listenable, but it dosnt stand out from many other bands, who have done similar music, and before Aerosmith did it.
AllisterFiendSalvaged from archive15 Jul 2006, 01:43

I guess it depends on what you mean. All of the guitarists listed here are great guitarists, from successful bands over time. But there are some guitarists, that are amazing, that most of us will never hear about. One not listed by anyone above, is Yngwie Malmstein. ( I think I spelt that correctly), who is an AMAZING technical guitarist. I personally don't like the music he created, but that cannot take away from his ability. Didn't see BB King listed there, though you did list Slow Hands.
sorbusSalvaged from archive15 Oct 2006, 17:18
The Reason I Listed Link Wray is Because I was Lucky to Get a Copy of Fatback and Beans but wait a Min We Forgot The Man Who Went To The CrossRoads Sweet Robert Johnson Listen to His Complete Works Every Chop Riff Hendrix Clapton etc played came from His Acoustic Guitar No Wonder He had "The Hellhounds On My Trail :twisted: :roll: :wink: :lol: :lol: 8)

I suggest you spend a few more years on guitar before you start judging guitarists.

It's all about making the music and making it sound nice. pleasing people. and the only reason I compared slash to buckethead was because of that asshole axl trying to replace him. moderately easy my ass. moderately easy would be something like... crazy train or some shit.

No, he was a sort of brown colour... I agree with whatever his name is, Slash is fucking awful compared to some people he's compared with, he really is average. But you don't need to even play guitar to rate guitarists, its what it sounds like to your ear, not how techniqly amazing they are that makes the player imo. Unfortunatly Slash fails in both area's...
AllisterFiendSalvaged from archive31 Dec 2006, 03:53
mmmm no I disagree with you. Slash is better than buckethead... he really is a good guitar player. but uh... I dunno. I think Izzy really made guns'n'roses. You can't deny Slash is one cool motherfucker, though. :lol: EDIT: disagree, not agree...... haha :lol:

It doesn't matter how "amazing" you are..... it all depends if the people you're playing for like it. Some dude could be up on stage pulling off hard-ass chords and arpedgios but the people in the crowd could be falling asleep. When a guitar player picks up their instrument and magic happens.... When people can feel it rip into them. When people cry. When people go berzerk. When people shake. When people connect to the music and it takes them somwhere else..... That's what makes somone a guitar hero. Right then nobody cares what chord they're playing what mode they're in.... all that matters is the emotion. That's what music's all about. In the end nobody gives a hoot about the chords.... all they care about is that that guitar made them feel special and the guitar player can hold their head high knowing that they can make others happy doing what they love.

RhomphaiaSalvaged from archive16 Mar 2007, 09:46
please tell me it's not kurt cobain...:1zhelp: Cobain was not a great guitarist, true. However, he did combine a different rock sound with lyrics that spoke to a generation. That in itself makes him one of the great musicians (maybe not top 10, but definately one of the best of our time). Nirvana probably came as close as anyone to being able to speak to people through music as bands from the 1960s and 70s did. Personally, there's only a couple of songs by the band I like. However, I cannot deny the lasting influence their music has had on people or the music industry. On a bit of an unrelated note, Cobain was talented with the guitar. He used a trick I have heard described as a 'hand-flutter' to produce some unusual sounds. To my knowledge, I don't think any musician nowadays can do that. Also, he was able to match tones with his own voice and his guitar, a trick not many can do.

Rocker KidSalvaged from archive18 Mar 2007, 03:26
It's true, Nirvana changed the face of music. Now everyone wants depressing lyrics in a faster song. I sorta think they have revived "Emo" in a way. There was a big Nirvana trend a couple of years ago and then angsty kids emerged..... Though it has taken on a new form, instead of flat-out "I hate my life" it's more like......... "I hate my life and I'm a vampire" lol, alot of emo has turned towards dramatic and make-beleive lyrics usually with vampires being the main topic along with pretending you're dead in a music video... It's all extremly angsty but with a costume on.

It's true, Nirvana changed the face of music. Now everyone wants depressing lyrics in a faster song. I sorta think they have revived "Emo" in a way. Damn the emo race.

Damn the emo race. Ditto. Would anyone else agree that the whole emo thing has gone too far? I mean any negative emotion these days is considdered "emo" along with having dark hair or hair that falls into your eyes. Example: Johnny: I'm so sad today Billy: OMG! You are so fucking emo!!!1 You are not allowed to be sad anymore or you are emo. Example: *picture of kid with shaggy dark hair* Claire: He's emo, his hair is in his eyes. Missy: OMG That is SO HOT! I'm totally leaving a pic comment on his myspace If you have dark hair or hair that falls into your eyes you are appearantly emo. Example: Alex: What are these pills for? Brian: Those are for my depression Alex: You're emo! If you have a mental disoreder or illness you must be emo. Example: Josh: I love to play my guitar in my band Mark: Only emo kids play music! If you play an instrument or are in a band you must be emo Example: *kid with some general scratches on his arm* Matt: That kid has scratches on his arm he musty be a cutter If you have scratches, cuts, or a bandage on your arm or wrist you're a cutter and that's emo Example: Ryan: In my spare time I like to write storys and songs and maybe a little poetry Josh: Writing stuff is emo! If you enjoy writing of any sort besides notes in class you're emo. Example: Mike: Man her parents just died I feel so bad for her Susan: Stop being so emo Feeling bad for somone else is emo. Example: *A couple guys give each other a hug* Mya: OMG I think those guys are bisexual Amanda: I love bisexual boys they're hot Drake: Those dudes are fags! People need to stop calling everything emo it's getting really annoying.

Cobain was not a great guitarist, true. However, he did combine a different rock sound with lyrics that spoke to a generation. That in itself makes him one of the great musicians (maybe not top 10, but definately one of the best of our time). Nirvana probably came as close as anyone to being able to speak to people through music as bands from the 1960s and 70s did. He may of spoke to people, but did he even have a message? lol On a bit of an unrelated note, Cobain was talented with the guitar. He used a trick I have heard described as a 'hand-flutter' to produce some unusual sounds. To my knowledge, I don't think any musician nowadays can do that. I may be wrong, but isn't a hand flutter something to do with a harmonica? I think it is. Also, he was able to match tones with his own voice and his guitar, a trick not many can do. Do you play guitar? I don't think it's thats difficult. It may be for some people... I dunno. It's not for me. He was a better vocalist than a guitar player. Not anywhere close to the best of either, though. Nirvana wouldn't of been anything without Grohl.

Don't be so bitter Steven. I know you hate Nirvana because "They killed metal"... but damn, at the time it needed to be put out of its misery... If anything they saved the genre by killing it at a very weak point and forcing it to be re-invented. If Nirvana hadn't stepped in, in the early 90's and taken over, metal would have faded out completely. You know as well as I do it was becoming a bunch of commercial crap. Guys from metal bands back then even admit it. Then, when all the super-glam was gone, metal came back to some of its roots with heavy guitar riffs and lyrics with a sinister meaning. I think Nirvana had such power because everyone was getting sick of songs about hot chicks and driving fast cars- it was time for somthing new and Nirvana delivered.
