Title: Re: The Most Iconic Guitarist in rock n metal history Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on March 08, 2006, 11:54:42 AM I guess if you are asking the one guitarist most people think was the best, or held in the highest regard, then it would have to be Jimi.
Title: Re: The Most Iconic Guitarist in rock n metal history Post by: Neemo on March 08, 2006, 12:43:08 PM I think the idea here is to make this some kinda survivor.
I'm not sure though :confused: Title: Re: The Most Iconic Guitarist in rock n metal history Post by: Hammy on March 08, 2006, 01:02:26 PM I'm not sure though :confused: With yours going.........and GN'R becoming more and more active. I think it would be a bit too much. There's a right time and place. ;) As for lists, take metallex78's, add Ed Mundell and that is it for me : ok: Title: Re: The Most Iconic Guitarist in rock n metal history Post by: axl_rose_700 on March 08, 2006, 03:40:43 PM None of them - sod shredding and speed the best are, John Squire - The Stone Roses Noel Gallagher - Oasis Dave Gilmour - Pink Floyd Dimebag Darrell - Pantera Steve Clarke - Def Leppard For memorable riffs and solos those are your guys, and Slash too of course... good choice! pete townshend aswell! |
