Members GretschGuy Posted September 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Carefull ,You start throwin names around like Bela Fleck and Sam Bush and we might actually have to take your word for it that you know what you are talking about. Someone asked who the best player in Hootie and The Blowfish was. The guy I mentioned (Mark Bryan) is a great guitar, dobro and lap steel player. Check out the mentioned record.

Members Yngtchie Blacksteen Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Vinnie Vincent taught at GIT so I would think he could show you a few things.Like how to speed up the tape to fool people into thinking you're actually an impressively fast guitarist? They teach that stuff at GIT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members micahsdad Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 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 MorganBucks Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Ace,well really Rick Derringer (as Ghost player)first.... Ace 2nd on the records followed by Vinny. Vinnie was cool but I have seen both Ace and Vinny in their own bands and Vinnie did not have any songs although I did enjoy his attitude and didding from start to finish.

The guy I mentioned (Mark Bryan) is a great guitar, dobro and lap steel player. Check out the mentioned record. I have no problems with any musicians in Hootie. I love a mean dobro myself. Jerry Douglass for example. Its their songs I cant stand. Hes not a baby because the dolphins make him cry......... Hes a baby because he writes songs about dolphins that make him cry.

Jerry Douglass for example.Its their songs I cant stand.Hes not a baby because the dolphins make him cry.........Hes a baby because he writes songs about dolphins that make him cry. I really only remember some song that had most of its lyrics taken from a song on Blood on the Tracks. Never really knew much about the band but I like Sam Bush a lot and usually try to get anything he plays on. Mark Bryan is a great multi-instrumentalist. I only mention him because someone asked who the best guitar player in Hootie and the Blowfish was. Maybe the black guy was better, as I said I don't know much about them but Bryan can play really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Armitage Posted September 6, 2007 Members Share Posted September 6, 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 vintage clubber Posted September 7, 2007 Members Share Posted September 7, 2007 I would have to say Tommy Thayer since he had to help Ace re-learn his stuff when KISS reformed in the mid-90's and then he ended up replacing Ace in the last few years.

Members PJMPirate Posted September 7, 2007 Members Share Posted September 7, 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. true. and Gene Simmons discovered Van Halen. KISS doesn't get the props they deserve. Maybe not technically proficient but they were great showmen, wrote some very catchy songs, and influenced an entire generation. Who cares what Jan Wenner thinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ace_2000 Posted September 7, 2007 Members Share Posted September 7, 2007 Ace. Vinnie Vincent might have been the most technically proficient, but everything Ace played fit the songs. I can't say the same thing about Vinnie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brewski Posted September 7, 2007 Members Share Posted September 7, 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). This is a very responsible and articulate answer!!

Members evh1984 Posted September 7, 2007 Members Share Posted September 7, 2007 Bruce Kulick. Saw them during the Animalize Tour and Kulick smoked. I liked that he had a "heavier" sound than Ace or Vinnie. Paul Stanley played the worst "solo" in the history of concerts, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
