Members Riffmaker Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 ............ Kudos to the OP for mentioning John Christ (Danzig). glen has seriously sucked since he let John, Chuck, and Errie go. That band was perfect. :thu::thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members isvoid Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 Tommy Shaw Ever since I heard him play "Crystal Ball" live I've been a fan. The solo was so heartfelt it was palpable. Freakin' awesome. That was 300 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was 300 years ago. JY's no slouch, but Tommy's got incredible feel, as you observed. His solo stuff is great, too ~ check out 7 Deadly Zens if you get a chance, from '97.

Members draelyc Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 How the hell has Ty Tabor not yet been mentioned?! I don't really think he's all that underrated... Isn't his badassedness pretty universally acknowledged? I thought it was, at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 I don't really think he's all that underrated... Isn't his badassedness pretty universally acknowledged? I thought it was, at least... Nah, a few of us know and appreciate who he is, but you can hardly argue that for the staggering level of awesomeness he and his band have provided over the years, neither have gotten anywhere close to the level of success and recognition they deserve! When's the last time he was on the cover of or even mentioned significantly in any of the major guitar mags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DoubleBarrel Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 Tommy Shaw Hey Draelyc, Good call on Tommy Shaw. I think the thing with him is that he is such an amazing vocalist that you forget how good a guitarist he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members co&cafan808 Posted March 14, 2010 Members Share Posted March 14, 2010 How the hell has Ty Tabor not yet been mentioned?! Andy Timmons used to head the list, but he's finally getting up to the level of recognition he deserves, so... A HUGE +1 to Criss Oliva, Mick Mars, John Sykes, Mike Campbell and John Christ. Andy Wood (everywhere except HCAF, anyway! ) Steffen Schackinger Jimmy Herring Dweezil Zappa Tommy Emmanuel Eric Peterson Chris DeGarmo Mike Einziger I'm sure I'll think of 20 more in the next 5 minutes... Pretty much the list I was going to post. Jimmy Herring is definatley a stand out on my list, saw him last year with widespread panic and he was absolutely amazing I would love to see him and Warren on the same stage together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebra was an amazing band, both instrumentally & vocally; it's too bad they only had 2-3 albums of good original tunes... White Tiger: great band, until the Lead Dufus, um, singer would come on...
