So if you could only listen to one guitarist for the rest of your life?

[kmanick]

Hm... this is a tough one, I've gone thru so many stages where I was really into a specific
guitarist .

I have to agree with Azal on the guthrie thing, he is a ripping player but I think "Erotic Cakes" absolutely sucks ass .
It's got no fire to it and it's boring as hell, which is shocking to me because he is so f'n good.
I've gone thru periods where it was
all Satch,
all, Vai,
all Gilbert
all Vinnie Moore
all Greg Howe
all Loomis
all Jason Becker
all Kotzen
all Yngwie (that one was short)
and all Tony Macalpine
but If I could only listen to one, it would probably be Greg Howe, years later he's still my favorite,
and to me still the most interesting to listen to,
he ain't metal but he sure has great phrasing and cool tunes.

the solos he rips in this one are ridiculous (this whole CD is amazing)


Parallax is a grat Cd too
the groove and solo at the 2:00 minute mark is great.

Used to be pretty active on another one, but I was there when it started and I knew the ins and outs of those people on there. I'm sure there are quirks here that I don't understand or things on message boards in general that I don't understand. So, if you could clue me in, it'd be much appreciated.

We can't "quote" a post we agree with and just repost it, so we have to throw 1 character in. I guess the period is just adding "this is the definite conclusion" to it.

Super serious answer:
You are all gay for not saying Frank Zappa.

 

[Supravital Knight]

...glad I got under THAT.

And, since you probably don't know of that guy ^(Marino)
I'll list a second choice which ties with Iommi, IMO.

Addendum to the Super serious answer:
That goes for all future posts that don't say Frank Zappa.

Frank Marino is a bad ass player. He ws one of my earliest influences.
I saw Mahogany Rush at the Boston Garden when I was in High school.
they completely destroyed Ted Nugent that night (Nugent ws the headliner).

FZ is the correct answer, but Jimi Hendrix is, in fact, the greatest electric guitarist to ever live.

Will, listen to Band of Gypsys and STFU.

[Godhead59]

Mikael Åkerfeldt

Yesssss, My all time favorite player. Could listen to him for continuously for days, and have.

not hardly. he's one of the sloppiest and most over rated

 

[Brooks]

Sloppy? What does that even mean?


Anyway, I'm changing my vote after listening to this again.

Robert Fripp.

Though he's a little 'sloppy' Will, you might not want to listen.

 

[Will Bozarth]

good! I like my musicians to be like Andy Sneap records... typical, unenthusiastic, and bland.

 

[WorkerPig]

Robin Trower

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Psh at saying Jimi Hendrix is the best guitarist.

 

[Craysh3]

Seriously guys:

Quorthon

 

[Brooks]

Fred Durst.

 

[Chromatose]

I could eat this pizza for the rest of my life

 

[Malergion]

I could eat a cake similar to this at every meal.
