Members paul6string Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 1970-80s Overrated: Neal Schon Underrated: Lindsey Buckingham Neal Schon? He's a badass mofo. He's got some sweet phrasing, and some pretty memorable leads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr.Bates Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 Whats with the Slash bashing? That guy is pretty good... I love his riffs and his solos are allways very tastefull... He has a distinct sound, style and feel... And he was a member of one of the best rock bands in the 90s. Show some respect!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members paulskirocks Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 1970-80s Overrated: Neal Schon Underrated: Lindsey Buckingham I agree that Lindsey Buckingham was underrated... However, in the early days of Journey, back when they rocked, so did Neal Schon, and he was underrated... Fast forward to the Journey pop days, and the whole band was overrated, even though they wrote catchy hooks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hellion_213 Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 Troll thread is trolling... Good point, though I still feel compelled to add my 2cents worth: Overrated: Malmsteem- Too much egotism in his music. Everything the man plays is just another way for him to jerk himself off, sorry, that's the truth of it. His stuff should come shrinkwrapped in a Trojan wrapper. Underrated: Mike Derks- This dude can seriously play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jimwratt Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 Depends on what you mean by overrated. For players who've had an impact that exceeds their technical prowess, the list is long. For great players who should get more recognition, the list is immeasurable. There's also a list of guys who made huge impacts while remaining unknown. For arguments sake, I'll say the beatles were totally overrated and that bumblefoot is underrated. But that doesn't really mean anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ComOp Posted December 27, 2009 Members Share Posted December 27, 2009 Overrated: Joe Bananamassa or whatever his name is, Eric Johnson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, John Mayer, Derek Trucks Underrated: Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, Michael Shenker Yeah I know.... Only white guy blues players retreading the same tired licks through the same tired gear know how to play the guitar and so must always be handed bags of cash and constant praise and attention from major media sources. The guys I mentioned for the most part have had plenty of attention from fellow guitar players and industry insiders (hugely influential to new players) but have never really been given the keys to the money press like the white guy blues players. In Asian markets that give those guys a fair shake at ad money and media access they sell out stadiums. Underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BydoEmpire Posted December 28, 2009 Members Share Posted December 28, 2009 Underrated: Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown (RIP) - wonderful mix of blues, jazz and country. Very unique player. Underrated: Nancy Wilson - 70s Heart is such an awesome band (I should probably say Howard Leese as well...) Overrated: Eric Johnson - great player, no doubt, but everyone talks about his tone with such awe, and honestly it's not even in my top 100. His performances at the Crossroads Festival shows were pretty ho-hum. Maybe I need to listen to him more, but he's never blown me away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lex.Luthier Posted December 28, 2009 Members Share Posted December 28, 2009 Underrated: Prince, no one ever really talks about his playing but the dude is a monster player. Izzy Stradlin, He's a great songwriter, great rhythm guitarist and not a bad lead guitarist. Shame he was always stuck in the background. Overratted: John Frusciante, he's a good musician but hugely overrated as a guitar player. Slash, he's written some good riffs (although I always felt Izzy was the better songwriter in GNR) but as a guitarist he's not near as technically good as a lot of people seem to make out.

Members vikingrat Posted December 28, 2009 Members Share Posted December 28, 2009 Overrated-Slash. He came out for the encore of ZZ Top at the H.O.B a few months back. He got his ass handed to him by John Mayer and Billy G. I just dont get the hype on this guy. Santana-What really is the big fucking deal about this guy? Greg Ginn-I love Black Flag but did he really need to solo? John Frusciante-??? I like that he names his heros like Steve Howe,Zappa etc but what is really the big deal about this guy? Underrrated- Francis Dunnery. Blackmore. Steve Rothery. Terje Rypal. Uli. Bill Frisell. R. Montrose. Buck Dharma. Steve Stevens. Jerry Donahue etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
