Best Loud Guitarist's
 

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
This gentleman is fantastic. I can't believe he was NSYNC's and Justin Timberlakes guitarist

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.

That's definitely loud

Yup.

not sure what you're looking for on this thread but this guy invented loud guitar IMHO.
Noone played with this many amps on stage before!

Dimebag Darryl

You got that damn right!!!

Darrell Abbott by far is probably the greatest loud/fast and most importantly TALENTED guitarists of our time.Period.

Jimmi Page was no slouch in the volume department -

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

Can't believe no one's brought up Kirk Hammett.

i only leave him out because of what he has done in recent years.

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.

You got it, B.Dubya - madman indeed :uhuh:

Looks like Ted dimed his amps and himself - dude, he's wired - :eek5:

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

Nuno Bettencourt
 

Great songwriter too...

hell of a guitarist, just wish he had been in a different band.

Ozzy was so lucky to hook up with him ,, from Quiet Riot orig. Dumbarse death at 25 ,, buzzing the tour bus in a small airplane .. Traces of cocaine in pilot .. not Randy .. what a waste

that was my first thought

: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.

i know, all the bands ive been in over the years, im surprised as well. maybe i will post myself playing in this thread.
