Slash, Jimmy Page and Brian May

For alternative solidity and tighter solos it's

Phil Lynott was a bass player.

[Badweather Fan]

I knew . . . . before.
Gary Moore so, is it?
I'm thinking Parisienne walkways.

[Dricky]

Mr Hendricks
Rory Gallagher
A another

[The Sheliban]

Not really into Guitar heroes, but, in ascending order:-

3] Mick Jones -"You're my Guitar Hero"

2] Steve Jones - Now, that was a Wall of Sound

1] Wilko Johnson

One of the first gigs I ever attended was Dr Feelgood around 74 / 75. I was up the front and it was a life-changing experience. Wilko was manic, twirling around the stage like a mad yoke. A most unusual style too - he'd hit the strings rather than strumming them.

No' a lo' of peepil know tha'.

Of the guitar based bands playing guitar riff music, I must say Steely Dan came up with a few great songs, like Haitian Divorce and Bhodisatva.
So c'mon then, tell us the name of the manufactured boy band he was in who had a number 1 hit before all of the above !

Cobain? Really? Wrote some nice riffs but technically he was mediocre at best. Nirvana were good but over-rated in my less than humble opinion. I'd rate Cobain as a lyricist ('Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you') more than I would as a six-stringer.

So who played Parisienne Walkways?

[The Sheliban]

Slik were supposed to be the answer to the Rollers.
I think the song was "Forever and Ever"
How Midge ever lived it down, I don't know.

They should, of course, have had a no. 1 with "Vienna" but I think something horrific like Joe Dolce's Music Theatre "Shaddap Ya Face" kept them at no. 2 in one of the greatest crimes in music history.

They're not fretboard wizards, they're fretboard w@nkers. There's a difference. Brilliant from a technical point of view but a tad over-indulgent for me personally...

Excellent choices my good man. The Pantera boy in particular! And it's Kim Thayil.

[Badweather Fan]

My french lecturer played Hendrix doing The Star Spangled Banner in Woodstock today.
Fecking brilliantly done.
Apparently, its legendary, so i presume ye know what he did with it.
It was of the highest calibre.
Fair play Jimmy.

[fonzi]

i had to go with thoose choices because each one of them has or had revolutionised theyre type of music and oviouslky the guitar work.
Rory for his blend of blues with rock a kind of hotbed of southern american with the irish
Dimebag for making Pantera such major players in the (real)metal scene and
mr Kim Thayil for being part of the grunge scene. Soundgaren of course being one of the pioneers of grunge-
