I thought you were gonna post a thread on the 3 most miserable b@stards ever.
1) Hendrix
2) John Fruiscante (chili pepeprs)
3) Tom Morello (Rage against the machine/audioslave)
Phil Lynott was a bass player.Quote:

Gary Moore so, is it?
I'm thinking Parisienne walkways.
Mr Hendricks
Rory Gallagher
A another
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.
hats off to dricky there - rory was the man, he was a cork man and he was bluesy. the king - check out some of his early albums and weep. shame things went downhill they way it did for him in the 80's. anyway he was the greatestQuote:

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.

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.Quote:

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.
That was a classic Conor.Quote:

Cant believe nobody mentioned
Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.
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...Quote:

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.
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-
