Stevie Ray Vaugh is one of the most fluid guitar players have ever seen.Chords an leads all seem like the same thing one big flowing tone.Amazing.Gilmore gets more out of a note with his sustain than many.I know I will get alot of flack for this i think eric clapton is way over rated.Its no doubt Duane wrote the lead to his most popular song.Jimi Page said there would be no rock Guitar if it weren't for Jimi Hendrix.Randy Rhodes was truely amazing.I remember my head exploding when I first herd him.He would not have been if Eddie Van Halen had not dropped the classical piano an picked up a guitar.Satriani is a god in some circles as well as Billy Gibbons.I like the Late Diamond Darryl (later became Dimebag Darryl)from Pantera.some won't like the band as a whole but this guy got some amazing sounds from his ax.First an foremost Tony Iommi is my favorite guitar player.His simple slow pounding style is like sweet velvet to my ears.I played since i was 11 yrs old.Black Sabbath gets a bad rap as some demonic band but most of there songs revolve around repent.Ozzie's antic's didn't help.but who cares. I always had a preference to bands that revolve around the sounds of the guitar as oppsed to lyrics or whatever.i like it all.I remeber i had several Zappa albums yrs. ago.I usta by a album a week when i was young.I saw him at the Rutgers athletic center(The RAC).Maybe it was 1980.He usta do this thing where u could ask him a question.I asked him how he like his eggs.Sunny side up..
I remember seeing Rush at the Beacon theatre NYC. (the Allmans do 11 shows every yr around this time of yr).when they headlined for Motorhead an the Cro Mags.on the Bomber tour an fell asleep.ZZZZZZZZZZ.I recently been playin some LS an they have alot of songs that are fun to play.Like the one from the bush beer comercial.
I find it funny some folks on here put these rock stars On some kinda pedestal.if they weren't stars there drug rapps would be a mile long.Many who couldn't shake it died from it.Then I see the same names slam some sports caster when he as a battle with his demons.they are all people one in the same.An drugs are nasty sh!T.
Just something to think about.EaT A Peach..
