Bush Rummager 3,744 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Great topic folks!... surley there's no real answer to the question! but... for what its worth here's my vote.. .... KERRY KING... of Slayer, he's been there and done it all.. still setting the pace after 20 odd years, none of the gay Malmsteen stuff, as technical as you like... speed , rythem..., ripping insane solos out... and a grafter! you get you're moneys worth at a gig! i've seen these a good few times over the years.. my top band.. Kerry gave me a pik at one gig! ... got tickets to see 'em in nottingham in a a few weeks!! ............ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mastiff 7 Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Wow! Thanks for all the replies This is a vague question but anybody recall a chap in the '70's (I think) that could make his guitar "talk"? Heard his stuff a few years ago but can't remember his name.

Macsen 4 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Aah, the eternal 'best' guitarist question...there probably is no definitive answer, everyone will have a different opinion no doubt based upon the guitarist in their favourite band or prefered type of music. There are plenty of amazing and technically gifted 'famous' guitarists out there, but then there will be an equal amount of equally gifted players who nobody has ever heared of. So maybe this thread should be renamed 'favourite guitarist'. Anyway, my favourite guitarists are...for the technical fiddly stuff, Randy Rhoads, Dave Murray, malmsteen, Page. But king of the riff without hesitation and undisputed it has to be Tony Iommi. R.I.P Ronnie James Dio...(not a guitarist, but one of the finest heavy rock/metal vocalists ever).

byron 1,093 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Very off topic this one but I know a lot of you like your music, question is who do you thing is the best guitarist of all time? Personaly I think Slash can run rings around Hendrix, Clapton, Young, Vai, Marr etc so bring it on! Mod's - don't know why this got posted three time, please delete the surplus posts. all great ones there.. try this.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
