Guest fragged one Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Hows about an honorable mention for Eddie Van Halen. no, he doesn't get honors for his lack of taste in lead singers. Link to post Share on other sites
HammerSlammer Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 no, he doesn't get honors for his lack of taste in lead singers. Amen to that. Link to post Share on other sites
flyfishingrules2 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) Lately for me, it has been Keb Mo. Oh, yeah, and Slash from G n' R.--missed them the first time around. Now apparently they are too burnt out to R n' R Edited April 19, 2005 by flyfishingrules2 Link to post Share on other sites
cpuguru Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 Ohhh .. you don't have Brian May or Eric Clapton on that list. I think they are overrated, top 20 guitarists however still overrated. Link to post Share on other sites
Chopdoc Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 no, he doesn't get honors for his lack of taste in lead singers. Oh come on....Sammy isn't that bad. Link to post Share on other sites
TracyLynn Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) Eric Clapton over rated? I can only pray to be HALF as talented as that man is. He's a legend. Edited April 19, 2005 by TracyLynn Link to post Share on other sites
Tankus Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) Tony Iommi , and Richie Blackmore (before he became a pixie ) should be in the top twenty ..... Edited April 19, 2005 by Tankus Link to post Share on other sites
Wigan Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I think they are overrated, top 20 guitarists however still overrated. Brian may is a legend, also so is Slash from GN'R, and Flea from The Chilis Link to post Share on other sites
theoldgardener Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) I'm still "Stealin' from Chet" and trying to make it sound recognizable..... I like the genius that plays on "Prarie Home Companion"--- his name slipped my mind right now--- I would like to get my fingers to do that well ----- in my next life???? I went to the PHC web site--- Pat donohue is an excellent gituarist. You can listen to clips on the Prairie Home companion web site--- its a dot org Edited April 21, 2005 by theoldgardener Link to post Share on other sites

brandon Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I'd have to say Jimi Hendrix would be #1 for me. I haven't listened to rock in a while, but all I hear when I ask people about Jimi Hendrix is how good he was with the guitar. Link to post Share on other sites
BBYTech587 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) Buckethead If you never heard anything from him...go listen now. here, i found a sample from his site...it is of poor quality, but you can make out some of it... ill try to find more. http://www.bucketheadland.com/museum/audio/lobotomy.mp3 http://www.bucketheadland.com/museum/audio/greasy.mp3 Edited April 20, 2005 by BBYTech587 Link to post Share on other sites

aeroman10 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) Here is my list: 1. Rhandy Rhoads 2. Joe Perry 3. Kirk Hammett 4. Marty Friedman 5. Zakk Wylde 6. Slash 7. Ace Frehley 8. Dave Mustaine 9. Kerry King 10. Kurt Cobain and while were talking about people who play stringed instruments..some of my choices for top bass players would be 1. Cliff Burton 2. Flea 3. Gene Simmons and we cant forget Twiggy Ramirez Its weird that nobody mentioned Joe Perry in any of their lists. He has got to be one of the top 10 guitarists out there. After I saw him play some solos with the guitar behind his head I knew he was one of the greatest Edited April 20, 2005 by aeroman10 Link to post Share on other sites

After I saw him play some solos with the guitar behind his head I knew he was one of the greatest A pretty good list, minus Kerry King and Cobain in my opinion. I think Hanneman is a much better guitarist then King and I would take Kim Thayil over Cobain but whatever floats your boat For bassists I would have to go: 1. Cliff Burton (RIP buddy) - Metallica 2. Geddy Lee - Rush 3. John Paul Jones - Led Zeppelin 4. John Entwistle - The Who 5. Robert Trujillo - Pretty well everyone but lets say Metallica 6. Jeff Ament - Pearl Jam 7. Steve Harris - Iron Maiden By the way I have seen three of the guitarists on your list; Perry, Hammett and Dave Mustaine. Edited April 20, 2005 by cpuguru Link to post Share on other sites
