unfortunately, you're right though. damnit i can't believe i forgot him.
i'm retarded. Frampton comes alive = possibly the greatest live album ever.![]()
I've been playing bass/guitar/drums for the last 13 years. I've seen Kirk Hammet live. I've also seen Joe Satriani, Alex Lifeson, Fredrik Thordendal, Buckethead, Marty Friedman, and about a thousand other badass guitarists. I can honestly say that Kirk Hammet blows. I have been (and currently am) in bands with better guitarists than him. The dude just isn't that great. I think his solos are boring. They don't have much emotion, and the certainly aren't technically difficult. They're average. ESPECIALLY the garbage he's been writing since ...and Justice For All. Straight up poop.Originally Posted by SPOOLIN
Oh yeah, and the dude from Estrela is badass. Too bad they broke up.
Here's my band live at Sector 7G in Augusta, GA. Kinda hard to hear the guitar work, but it's there

What music have you put out? How many fans do you have and Im pretty sure his bank account will always be greater than yours. Kirk is not the greatest but Metallica has to be one of the top grossing bands.Originally Posted by SpecV_Scott

Yes there are other bad ass guitarist but when you get to the level they are and the amount of time they have been doing it, they are all the same but just do different shit at different times. Some people dissect music way to fucking far and it gets ridiculous.

My vote will be for Eric Johnson...awesome music. Jimi gets the vote for being revolutionary in his time no doubt....and no body mentioned Les Paul?? Damn
Both of you completely missed my point. I wasn't saying my ABILITY was anything special. I was just stating my background, to satisfy the previous poster that had mentioned how he thought none of us were musicians and had any idea of what we were talking about.Originally Posted by SPOOLIN
I'm first and foremost a bassist, so you're right...right now I couldn't stand in front of you and play every Kirk Hammet solo. However, if I so desired, I could sit down and learn a majority of them in a couple of hours. I CAN play you most of Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth), which I learned after only having played the bass for six months. But that's besides the point.
My original point was that this whole argument is retarded, because there is no objective way to determine the greatest player. Album sales don't mean shit. Plenty of no-talent hacks sell millions of records. Highest notes-per-minute don't matter either.
What matters is what songs inspire the most in you. When you hear a solo and it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, or it reminds you of some great time in your life....THAT'S what makes it good.
^My 2c.
most of the people listed in this aren't nearly as great as some of you make them out to be... they may have some point or place in guitar history but music has evolved so much i find it hard to believe some of the old fav could hardly keep up w/ some of the new guitarist today.
ESTEBAN FTMFW!!! lol
ps. metallica sucks they haven't written anything worth a shit since the black album![]()
amen lolOriginally Posted by admin
and I still want to see somebody besides vai play a double-necked guitar and harmonize with himself only tapping . . .

Michael Angelo BatioOriginally Posted by gokblok

true michael angelo... hes got amazing ability. but i feel alot of his stuff (including that vid) is almost robotic and is soul-less music

Double Gibson for Stairway to Heaven FTMFW!!
PS I would alos give some credit to Carlos Santana. After seeing him live in concert I can attest to what a talented guitar player he is.

Yeah, Michael Angelo Batio is impressive...but not one of my choices for "best." And the dude is a total goober.
dimebag darrell (rip)
I agree.... don't forget about Mark KnopflerOriginally Posted by VooDooXII
couple more would be Jade from AFI and Jack White...thier not the best ever but they are great in the genre they play in.

Tom Morello from Rage is awesome, I never really listened to Rage at all but he soloed at Bonnaroo during Tool for like seven minutes and from what I could see started playing some crazy shit with his teeth.
Bozzio for president.
Where did my first comment go...?
Bozzio for president.
Annnnnnd, I would say Fall Out Boy and MCR are the same type of band, as well as the newer AFI, but they used to be Punk even though Davey has a girly voice.
