Members STEEL KAGE Posted February 10, 2006 Members Share Posted February 10, 2006 I was talking with H and Curt Chubtone about REally great players that flew under everybody's radar in the 80's. For me, the 2 most Obvious were Billy White and Steve McKnight from Cry Wolf. Anybody have anybody else to add to this list? Kage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave and kenny were/are monsters. There were some Varney guys that i may have missed out on like Joey Taffola. And i never listened to much Chastain either so i don't know how good those guys are. James Bryd was really good. He was in Fifth Angel then had some solo stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Big Hair Posted February 10, 2006 Members Share Posted February 10, 2006 a couple of my favourite guitarists (not necessarily the best, but they did the trick for me!): - Tim Kelly - original guitarist from "Slaughter" sadly died in 1998. When I saw them live in 1991 he blew me away with some superb solos and tones, massive huge tone - Derek Frigo - guitarist from Enuff Znuff sadly dead too ( ), again did a solo spot when I saw them live in 1992 - massive brilliant tapping solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Randy Van Sykes Posted February 10, 2006 Members Share Posted February 10, 2006 A few (off the top of my head) Canadian guys I know of that probably didn't get heard that much internationally... - Kim Mitchell from the band Max Webster - Ian Crichton from the band Saga - Peter Lesperance from the band Harem Scarem- Marvin Birt from the band Haywire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in Fifth Angel then had some solo stuff. Yeah Joey was very Cool. His first album blew but after that , his Infra Blue stuff was kicking, very clean and smooth... I thought Mark Diglio from XYZ was pretty good but he wasnt a monster.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slammer came out of retirement and put out some killer stuff Yup, got some of the steelhouse stuff and the two street albums too, all on mp3. He wasn't super flashy but really played the right notes for the song - I always thought of him as kinda an 80s metal larry carlton Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that he is an amazing songwriter (for the 80's type stuff ) The guys music has hooks for days. The Second Steelhouse lane album Doesn't have a bad tune on it (although I am not fond of track 3 it is not a bad tune lol ) If you heard any of the Neal Schon Hardline stuff then you heard more then a few of his tunes!
