Re: Poll: Brian May or David Gilmour?

As a guitar player alone I like Brian May more, but with Pink Floyd D. Gilmour blows pretty much everyone out of the water.

So Gilmour it is.

Re: Poll: Brian May or David Gilmour?

Can't go wrong with either. Both are renowned for great tone and solos so catchy they're just as memorable as any vocals. That said, I like Pink Floyd more than Queen so Gilmour.

I don't give a d.a.m.n about hypes, fanclubs or tonal religions. All I care about is what works for me.

Brian May More varied styles of playing . Gilmore is great but dosn't stray far from the Blues.

Easy, Gilmour, I love BM, his playing, his personality but man like da treble too much, and can often come over like a screechy **bleep**

I thought we left that mentality behind us in the 80's?  Umm, gay is not a derogatory word.

Gilmour. Listening to his solos feels like flying and he is so great at filling in the gaps of a song with nuances. Also, I can't count how many times I've caught myself singing along (if you can call it that) with his solos.

Gilmour. May is a better player, and Queen had better vocals, but I can’t listen to a Queen album without getting bored. Queen is a singles band for me.
