John Christ-awesome blues/metal style

Mick Mars-I think has awesome tone and style

Bobby Gustafson-one of the best thrash players ever

Jeff Hanneman-WAY better soloist than King

Gary Busey-actually a good player/songwriter!

 

 

And that's saying something..?

Me - Best guitar player in my bedroom.

 

Look, you can't just say that someone is "awesome blues/metal style"

 

you gotta back it up :/

 

just my $00.02.

 

Also, by King, you mean Kerry King? From Slayer? I hate that guy. I'm 15 and I could shred circles around him.

well I didn't know, the only member of slayer I know is Kerry King, and thats because I looked up pictures of bald guitar players who use retardedly (its a word) painted BC Rich flying vs and his name came RIGHT up.

I agree with Mick Mars - that dude wrote some killer tracks and his band was a total slut-magnet. MEGA respect for that alone

 

Agree with Hanneman, too - he wrote pretty much all of their best material. One of the best riff writers ever

 

Don't know any of the other guys, but I'm gonna throw a name in that will get flamed anyway - Tom Delonge. If people can dig the minimalist style of Jack White, and can swallow pop-trash like Lady Gaga, you have to be able to give that guy some credit. He wrote "Dammit", "What's My Age Again", "All The Small Things" and "I Miss You" which were all massively successful singles and the album "Enema of the State" is packed with great riffs and songs. Not to mention a sig Fender AND Gibson.

Actually Nikki claims he wrote all of the material and would show Mick how to play it. That is what I gathered from Heroin Diaries. Who knows, books are made to make money as are albums. That being said, I love Mick's playing.

How the hell has Ty Tabor not yet been mentioned?! :facepalm::mad:

 

Andy Timmons used to head the list, but he's finally getting up to the level of recognition he deserves, so...

 

A HUGE +1 to Criss Oliva, Mick Mars, John Sykes, Mike Campbell and John Christ.

 

Andy Wood (everywhere except HCAF, anyway! :thu:)

Steffen Schackinger

Jimmy Herring

Dweezil Zappa

Tommy Emmanuel

Eric Peterson

Chris DeGarmo

Mike Einziger

 

I'm sure I'll think of 20 more in the next 5 minutes...

Gary Moore - Why isn't he bigger than Clapton ??????

Pat Travers - this guy should have been huge

Pat Thrall - Pat travers secret weapon

Jeff Watson - Night Ranger, waaaayy better than Brad Gillis

Wolf Hoffman - Accept's riff & lead master

Rod Price - Slide guitar master from Savoy Brown & Foghat

Dave DiPietro - TT Quick & Prophet

Bruce Franklin & Rick Wartell - Trouble

 

 

Kudos to the OP for mentioning John Christ (Danzig). glen has seriously sucked since he let John, Chuck, and Errie go. That band was perfect.
