Re: Guitarists!?!?!?!?


That was a tough one, I was torn between Nuno and Morello, and I was only allowed 1 vote! Nuno by a hair.

I always liked George Lynch's stuff from the "Back For The Attack" era as well as the first Lynch Mob album but my vote goes to Nuno by a nose...lol

Tough poll. I went for Richie Kotzen, just ahead of Nuno,but if Reb Beach had been there it would have been even tougher.
Richie is such an under rated player, he's been around for a long time and keeps bringing out great albums and knows that just because he can play anything he doesnt have to!
Who great would a GW update of this issue be?!

I voted for Jerry Cantrell as well. Sure he's not really a shredder, but he can come up with some killer riffs and tasty solos. Anyone who hasn't seen him live needs to do so ASAP. They're sounding great currently (even with the new singer, who is actually really good).

Re: Guitarists!?!?!?!?


Lennon and Harrison...It's not even a contest!!

Not only more memorable riffs but better songs. Theoretically and monetarily...

As well as being way more influential than anyone else on the list, and not just to guitarists.

The list is a bit weak...

George Harrison he was awesome....If he did the song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" today with a modern sound, it would be a heavy metal song!

The other day I heard a rap version of that song. They used a sample. I didn't like it. It sounded awful, imo.

I prefer the muppet version.
