TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Billy corgan a "bit" of a dick?...James Dean Bradfield - Manics (Criminally underrated esp. Holy Bible)Yeah, B0lly is a total arsehole, but it works for him, it gets good records made, even if he ends up playing everything but the drums himself... he did actually make jimmy chamberlin do cherub rock over and over 'till his hands were bleeding...And Jame Dean Bradfield's riffs on the holy bible are amazing, well everything about the guitars on that record are great. i don't rate any of the other manics stuff though.

Joe Atom Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 2: Steve HillageWow, I love Steve Hillage! He is truly awesome... although probably not in my top 3.I think I'd go for Jake E. Lee (Ozzy's guitarist '84 - '86), he played some of my all-time favourite solos - Bark at the Moon!! I also love Randy Rhoads' playing, but I prefer Jake.Roy Z, Bruce Dickinson's solo guitarist (and producer of the forthcoming Judas Priest album!) is also fairly incredible... check the Tears of the Dragon solo and the Arc of Space acoustic solo... beautiful!

phoenix1989uk Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 3 ??? Screw it,1. James Hetfield - Pure amazing Rhythm2. Kirk Hammet - Total melodic solo's3. Joe Satriani - Need I say more ?4. Tom DeLonge - No matter wot u say, he has sum catchy shit5. Slash - Just awesome ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris leslie Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 1. Nick McCabe2. The Edge3. Johnny Greenwood4. John Frusciante5. Hendrix6.Crispian Mills7. Slash 8. Gaz Coombes9. Billy Duffy10. Andy SummersIt's also hard to leave out Peter Buck, Nick Drake, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tom Morello, Johnny Marr, Johnny Buckland, Kirk Hammett, John Squire, and the guitarist from Cave-In who is utterly amazing. Satriani, Gilbert etc are all good...but the song and melodic solo are king for me. Then again maybe I'm just jealous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryn Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 A fair few people mentioned satriani.I have to disagree, he has about 4 good songs. Mindless soloing.Vai is far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawy Lawson:Attorney Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 michael angelo is a beast!Awesome he's playing a Baby Dean ML. I've got a full sized Dean, but it's a bit clunky so I tend to play on my Ibanez more.Anyway. I'm not really one for "Shredders". It doesn't do anything for me, although I appreciate the technical skill it implies;East Bay Ray (Dead Kennedys): He switched from this really lazy, yet melodic surfy sound do breakneck hardcore. He showed a fair degree of versatility and seemed to approach guitar playing almost post-modernly. I've spent some time recently trying to emulate his style.Johnny Marr (The Smiths): Played "Jangly" guitar without it being shit, basically. Helped me realise the guitar could be pretty and bittersweet too.Al Jourgensen: Because of Ministry, I tend to have a nasty habit of playing really trebely when playing distorted chords for that "razor" kind of sound. Sorry!And...probably Sting a little (minus ten scene points) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 I don't really rate shredders unless they're doing something near-tasteful, but that's just me. My top guitarists would be:Jeff Buckley - totally organic, soulful style. Favourite guitarist.Omar Rodriguez-Lopez - with Jim Ward as well, I guess.Ian MacKaye/Guy Piccioto (Fugazi)Thurston Moore/Lee Ranaldo/Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth) - Kim is better on bass though.Kurt Ballou (Converge)Jimmy Page (Zep) - really the only "guitarist's guitarist" who I like.Lou Reed/Sterling Morrision (VU) - minimal and noisy, great stuff.

David Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 in no particular order...John Petrucci (dream theater) one of the best guitars players i have heard, can jump from slow beautiful songs to lightning fast shred instantly, and dosent seem to be stuck in one or the other. Jonny Greenwood (radiohead) a very cool guitarist, listen to some of the older radiohead stuff, some of the faster radiohead parts are absolutely amazing, very chaotic and mad.cant think of a third right now, i will get back to you laterDavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
