Members FUBTAG Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 of course.. being the best in Kiss isn't saying much to begin with.... :blah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phil051300 Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'd have to say Ace, but i never felt any of them were very noteworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kneel Diamynd Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 "of course.. being the best in Kiss isn't saying much to being with...." No {censored}. Why don't we rank the best guitarist in Hootie & the Blowfish while we're at it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GretschGuy Posted September 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 You may not know this but Vinnie Vincent also took Randy Rhodes place as Jackson's spokesperson and was the staff songwriter on 'Happy Days'. Very talented guy and a good songwriter. Bruce Kulick played in a band with Michael Bolton and also is in Grand Funk Railroad and played with Billy Squier. Both of these guys are great players. Ace made a whole generation of kids pick up the guitar I would say Mark Bryan is the best guitar player from Hootie and The Blowfish. End of the Front is a great record and he has some great players on there (Sam Bush and Bela Fleck to name a few). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members micahsdad Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Vinnie Vincent was their best player, technically speaking. I could never get into Kulick...Ace will always be the best to me...I am kinda biased though because I was a kid when the original Kiss was at their peak...

Members Prages Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 I always thought Bruce was probably the most technically proficient player to play in KISS, but it's probably a toss-up between him and Vinnie Vincent for that title. However, Ace is always going to be the one most people think of when they think of KISS guitarists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dmn23 Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Ace made a whole generation of kids pick up the guitar I was one of them. I can honestly say I almost certainly would not be a guitarist if it wasn't for Ace Frehley. Yeah, he wasn't that interesting -- king of the one-note solo, right? -- but he was sure as hell influential. Back when I was eight years old there was no one cooler than Ace.

Members Yngtchie Blacksteen Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Vinnie Vincent sped up his solos, so he's lame by definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mister Zero Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Between Jimmy Page in the early 70s, and EVH in the late 70s/early 80s, Ace was THE most influential electric guitar player for a generation of kids. Bruce Kulick was probably the most technically proficient KISS guitarist, but he lacked a definite style. Ace definitely had his own style.

Members FUBTAG Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 I think KISS is a great band for what it was... same as the Ramones ... as guitarists??? nah.... Dime a dozen.... but they had the hook! I wouldn't want Ace as a guitar teacher by any means.... maybe Kulick.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GRANKOR Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Vinnie Vincent is pretty smokin' even if you don't like Kiss. Vincent's a hack, he sped up the tape to make it seem like he was playing faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GretschGuy Posted September 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Vinnie Vincent taught at GIT so I would think he could show you a few things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GRANKOR Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 oh yeah sure... doesn't mean he's not a hack. Guitar World said that thing about the tape in an article, if it wasn't true he'd have sued them for slander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
