Narrow it down to loud, electric, fusion, blues,etc style. The kind of player that can play but doesn't play a lot of quiet tunes. You know the kind

Is "Loud" a good thing ???

Yes if they have talent. If the don't no it is just loud noise. You know what I mean guys that prefer to play with volume. Part of their style, technique. Not everyone is a fan. Maybe I was to vague.

Ok
For me I like guys who play with substance over loud or speed !
I'll take Dave Gilmour or Carlos Santana or Larry Carlton and their soulful playing over guys like Van Halen who crams 1000 notes in 1 bar (but with no tone or feeling) and any guy who just plays loud !
Same goes with drummers for me (the instrument I know MUCH more about)

I agree with you Ron. I too much prefer substance, but every once in a while I like some volume and speed.

Ok then.
Randy Rhodes with Ozzy

That will work. I am not saying they can't play nice and quiet with lots of substance just that they are probably known more for their louder side.

Noone played with this many amps on stage before!

Jimmi Page was no slouch in the volume department -

This is a little obscure, but it's Led Zep covering Blondie's 'Call Me' -

He has done some pretty cool stuff over the years.

This is a great Hammett riff. Be warned - there is some colorful language at the beginning.

anyone who has seen the late great Dimebag in concert has seen one of the truly great metal Gods... Kirk Hammett was pretty cool too for a while there. I woke up one morning and the alarm clock was playing "Walk"when it first came out. I thought I was dreaming, it was so beautiful. It was MUCH needed too, that was around the time that Metallica started to, for lack of a better term, change.

How could I forget these guys

:kewl:Darryl I am surprised you have any hearing left :hihi: See I knew some people love the loud sound. I have changed over the years but still need a loud one every now and then. I think I just prefer a cleaner sound now.
