    3 best guitarists

    For slk (the MB's self appointed expert on 'noisy' music...)

    for noodelry and fret board w@nkery it's (not in order)

    Slash, Jimmy Page and Brian May

    For alternative solidity and tighter solos it's

    Bob Mould, Johnny Rzeznik and Andy Cairns
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    1) Hendrix
    2) John Fruiscante (chili pepeprs)
    3) Tom Morello (Rage against the machine/audioslave)
    Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

    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 Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones
    In 1977

    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.

    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.
