5 fav bands

[Bologna Is Good]

I would never listin to them because, as a guitar player, I'm offended to hear that holding your finger down on one fret for 4 minutes of a song and strumming once every 5 seconds is not telented, just my two cents

I feel the same way man. I also play guitar I play lots of AC/DC, Judas Priest and other 80s metal. I dislike bands from today because they have left out guitar solos and hard crunching licks. There a few bands who attempt to do this but they are not anywhere up to par with the guitar gods of the 80s. LoL Im only 18 years old and I listen to music that came out before and during the early years of my life.

Aye.. 80's metal is by far the best for guitarists.. but some of the newer bands I have to say have a nicer overall sound.

There is one band with actually pretty hard riffs.. I can play the One solo from Metallica and a few others but this one bridge for a Machine Head song actually gave me lots of trouble, the songs called Imperium, Enjoy.

Which solo in One? I learned the soft one at the beginning of the song. Never bothered learning the hard one in the middle. Can you play them both cause man thats awesome.

Van Halen is definitely THE guitar master technique-wise (at least in Rock). My favorite guitar player though, is Mr. Hendrix.

my favorite guitar players are Angus Young, Eddie Van Halen, Mick Mars (from Motley Crue), and Slash

 

[BrandT]

Eventhough I play guitar, I never got really into 80's music. As I have mentioned before, I'm more of a jazz cat, I like Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian, Django Rheinhardt, Eric Johnson (he's a jazz - rock crossover kinda guy) even George Benson a bit. But, one can't deny that 80's rock had the fastest guitarists. Joe Satriani, is also unbelievable.

It would be impossible for me to actually distinguish a "top five", I hath became somewhat of a connoisseur in the fine arts :>

1) the Beatles & their solo careers*
2) the Beach Boys
3) the Rolling Stones

I cant really decide which to follow them, I could list hundreds

Seconded

but i would add in a few:

Nirvana
Louis Armstrong and his band
Tool
SOAD *not for their political views*

a strange mix of Classic Rock, Heavy, and Skill.

 

[Booshnig]

1. Johnny Reb
2. Tool
3. Ramstein

Period.
Nirvana would be ok imo if there weren't so many gothic fangirls clinging to curt's c0ck.
