If someone knows if alexi is in one of the tops of the bests guitarrists of the world, of these of some magazines or webpages, please tell which is his position :grin: i have curiosity

sorry my english, im a fucking illiterate :erk:
 
yeah, there are some of lists, but they usually suck and I don't give a shit anyway...

I saw kurt cobain on number 12 once, and jimmy hendrix on one I think. nothing against hendrix, he was great and moved a lot in guitar playing, but his style and technique is simply not up to date anymore.

I dunno who does these lists, but I don't like em.
 
^ :rock:


Yeah, how the FUCK can hendrix be the best?
Lol, as marty said in the interview in the offtopic forum.

(along the lines of) "hendrix and the greatful dead wouldn;t be as well known if the audience were NOT tripping on hallucogenic drugs" <--:lol:
 
In a recent list from some good magazine, alexi wasnt in the top 200... but the guy from Arch enemy was in top 20... maybe they havent heard of bodom?

In japanese magazine, alexi was rated higher than vai or satch...
 
you've got to take into concideration the time when hendrix played. you don't know what alexi would have been in these days or vice versa...



hendrix was innovative and did something new.

he was revolutionary. alexi didn't bring up anything great new IMO. he is a great player and may have a great technique and is a good songwriter, but there are others like him and he's not that special today as hendrix was then.



sure he's better than hendrix was, but today there are many better guys like hendrix. still all cooking with water...

laiho would probably not be the same without guys like hendrix or BB king and all those ol day pals... ;)
 
Hendrix was there at the right time. I don't think we will see new such inovative player anymore (Hem, I never listened to hendrix but I guess that if everybody says he was innovative, then I think he was... I'm not a big fan of "old" music most of times). The was a time where we "discovered" guitar, and Hendrix was at the right time in the right place. I'd say we've reached the "limits" of guitar (technically), and now all we can do is to create great songs...
 
agree with devil totally.



and just btw;

so what is a good guitar player?

what is a good song?

it's all that subjective, some players are technically great, but whrite simply boring songs. would you put these over alexi for example?

others do awesome solos with just a few notes, many repeats and only a few faster runs, using major techniques only... think of slow hand eric clapton...

I'd never doubt his high rank position in the world of guitar players, coz he simply is a great songwriter and knows how to write music that fits his lyrics. that's what makes a good guitar player too IMO. he creates emotion and atmosfear, and that's what music is about. I don't give a fuck wether it's 7 or 27 notes per second if I like what I hear.



there're so many different criteria and so many ways to decide about the best, it's not up to me to judge which method is right or not. and some players are simply plain different, not even better or worse. how would you compare a blues player with a metal player? or a fusion player with a country guy?

everyone chose a style and a way to play, and there's no master of it all out there. that's BS.



anyway, if there's a guitar player, you got two choices; like him or not.

who cares what others think? does it change your opinion if you get some lists?



people eat more shit!!! millions of flys can't be wrong... ;)
 
@ bodomic;

cobain never put himself over alexi or any other player. he's not guilty for what other people say.

he was a great musician and still is a big part in rock history and there's no reason to swear at him just because some folks judge him different than you do.

have some respect instead.
 
ha ha FUCK COBAIN he had no talent did nothing but bad for rock music then to top it all off he killed himself while he had a wife!! how nice of him!

AND NO COURTNEY DID NOT FUCKING KILL HIM !!

but this is nothing against you im sure your cool guy

but im not really much of a guitar player so i cant really rate him but he is certainly one of my favourite guitar players
 
I doubt he had no talent, but if that's your opinion I don't care.

I just don't understand how this beeing talentless fits with kurt beeing one of your favourite guitarists? :confused:



I never was maried with courtney, but I doubt it was too hard for her and too "nice" of him that he commited suicide, since she's still trying to rip him and his bandmates off.

you can't be such a nice person either if you try to get cash out of your beloved husbands suicide.



didn't you get that story about the unpublished songs a while ago?

she's a bitch if you ask me. maybe not the only reason for his suicide, but surely one of them. a guy, lucky in love, doesn't suicide.

he didn't like his life, he didn't like the way media handled his music and he didn't like the people that became his fans. he couldn't identify with.

there are many very unhappy people who commit suicde becouse of very different reasons, but I never heard of one who killed himself coz of beeing mean to others.

but it's not my job to defend kurt in here... if you don't like him, whyever, that's fine with me.
 
Mh, I pretty much think these 3 are really the best Guitar Players currently alive:

1. Yngwie J. Malmsteen. Holy Shiznut, he maybe an egoistic asshole but.. O___O!!!!

2. Steve Vai. He's nearly equal to Yngwie and was a role-model for...

3. Alexi Laiho. ^_~
