Members Blakemore Effects Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 As you may be able to tell from my user name, I am completely unbiased in this area, but I voted for John Frusciante. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bro Blue Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 My God I want to cockpunch Syn for no other reason than that stupid name! All of his {censored}ty playing and eye-scorchingly ugly guitar aside. This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fulcrumpoint Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 This is like comparing apples and oranges, but Frusciante is by far the better player. Listen AX7 live....the playing is sloppy at best. Frusciante nails his lines and then some. Its just the rest of RHCP that usually are not great live.

All of his {censored}ty playing and eye-scorchingly ugly guitar aside. I am an A7X fan, but I have to admit their stage names are odd. I dont know how they came up with "M. Shadows", or "Zacky Vengance", and of course "Synyster Gates" is without a doubt random. IMO they may be better off with their birth names.

Members Mikeman75 Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 I don't get why Synester Gates has ANY votes... let alone 4? Oh well. At least the majority of HC is intelligent enough to know that J.F. is the better of the two. JF: 55 SG: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members maximuskatana Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 JF is much better. This is the way I see it. Yeah SG plays really fast, its cool to look at, but it sounds like ****. Id much prefer to hear pleasing sounds and 10 notes in a solo, then crappy sounds but 70 notes in a solo lol.

Members virtuzoso Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 I like both of the respective bands, but its no contest. Frusciante all the way. I love the Dani California solo!cD_yB3LXt7Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FloridaSeagull Posted December 23, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 yet now SG has 6 votes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RocknRollRebyl Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 i dunno know who JF is, but im def voting Gates. He wasnt that good until the new album, blows me away how incredible he got at guitar. (watch live in the LBC and youll see what i mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jimwratt Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 o yeah, i forgot to add that if i had to vote for one of them, it'd be frusciante. that said it wouldn't be an impassioned vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members joesl8 Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 I voted to Synyster Gates, also.How? That guy sucks, he's not even in the same ballpark, he's not even in the same game!? He's not even upper echelon wanker shred like Petrucci or Satch? JF owns that guy, besides Gates just looks like a total douche up there masterbating in front of the crowd!! Yep the only one pleasured by that display was himself! Gates sucks gorilla sacks! I don't think there's really anyone to compare JF to but even vs. Dave Navarro would make more sense to me. (JF still owns however ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fireproof777 Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 Easy answer to that...JF all the way. Anyone can learn to shred with enough woodsheddin', but you have to have soul to make the guitar sing with fewer notes and choice chording. In addition as the only guitarist in a band, your skill have to be far superior to those of the two guitar variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blingdogg Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 Synester Gates easily wins this. It's not even close. He's on an entirely different level compared to Frusciante. Synester Gates vs. John Frusciante is like comparing a college grad to a high-school dropout. Synester G is the guitarist that Frusciante can only dream of becoming. Synester FTW!!!!!

Members Furtive Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 After giving a listen to the Synyster Gates clip, all I could think was "it sounds like a song where a man breaks into your house and rapes you." And I don't mean that in a good way. I can't even vote in this poll. Sorry. [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Furtive Posted December 23, 2008 Members Share Posted December 23, 2008 Spanishfly, thx for that old clip. Mother's Milk was on heavy rotation when it came out during my junior year of high school. I had been playing a year back then, and Frusciante blew me away. As sad as it was to see John go through his decline in the early 90s, it was even better to see him return to life and playing. I've never heard anyone channel Hendrix like he can (yeah, I think he does it better than Robin Trower) these days. But guitar playing (and artistic talent) is not a contest. The point I'm trying to make is no one should ever name their child Synyster Gates, because the poor kid will never get a birthday cake from Shop-Rite.
