No one, is who. Jimi is in a class entirely by himself :)

Vernon is a damn good guitarist, but man, i HATE his sounds! Way too processed for my taste.

Incidentally, Vernon and I played in the same band, though at different times. Anyone remeber "Defunkt"? And now my old drummer from "Sample This", Curtis Watts, is playing drums with Vernon Reid's band "Mask". It's a small world.

I love Gilmores style.. even though technically he isn't a giant.
Tom Scholtz.. I give him credit for the sound and electronics that he is a genuis with.
Vernon is too processed IMO but he plays with feeling.
jeff healy.. hard to compare.. what a wack style tho

Musicians change careers for money if you ask me..
many many talented musicians never make it big because of the fact that it's a 'right time, right place' and 'willing to do what it takes' kinda business.
Just because you're talented doesn't mean squat in the biz.

btw I'm the IT manger for our town.. figures eh.

Satriani is cold, a few he warms but overall cold. Vai I don't care for.

Listen to an acoustic cut or to by John Mclaughlin. Like Knopflers stuff. Like the Jeff Healey/Knopfler cut.

Santana is so much better in person than on a alblum.

Robin Trowers early stuff ROCKED.

Stevie was good, saw him with Jeff Beck. Goooood show.

The best in my view ??

There's a lot out there faster.

There's a lot out there louder.

There's a lot out there with "chops"

But NOBODY plays sweeter or can phrase better than David Gilmore. All of his solos' have a begining, a transition, and an ending. They make a statement. They have a reason.

Nobody better.

He plays with "holes"

It's not "just" the notes, but the spaces inbetween that make a passage sweet. Ebb and flow...

He's the master.

Frodo! Long time no speak, bro! :)

Alice Cooper stuff was played by two guys - Steve Hunter & Dick Wagner. Two GREAT guitarists, they were part of the "Bob Ezrin Band" - anything Bob produced, they played on. For the best example of their amazing dual guitar work, i recommend "Rock & Roll Animal", by Lou Reed. A "double live album" back in the day, now available on one CD - smokin stuff!

Drea, buy the G3 DVD.

Via removed me from my bar stool in my brothers basement in the final "rif-off".

I think it was 2 notes, lol. Unreal.

He palyed the Hilton indoors last year in G3. No security, just a open casino hall. It's just not fair living here.

THE guitarist of all times is Eddie Van Halen.
Besides Jimi Hendrix, I can't recall any other guitarist that can be immediately recognized from the little piece of playing. Well, Yngwie Malmsten can be recognized, but besides the terrible speed, his solos are nothing but playing scale up and down with fingers running in a speed of light.
Big to Eddie for winning the cancer!

EDIT:
let's put few images as well :)




Nice t-skirt :D

EDIT2: Minor (?) spelling error fixed ;)
