I dont like steve vai because he has a fan pointed @ him while he plays I dont like the guy from toto because his chops are too perfect, they dont move me @ all I dont like gary moore, because he plays with way too much gain I could go on and on, but sometimes it is good to realize that we are all different, and with different tastes, come different favorites. no one ever says mexican food is better then itallian food which is better the BBQ hamburgers which is better then.............. its all different, and its all good! except for billy joe armstrong, he will always suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Jimmy Page is a God in my book. That the guy from Toto is Steve Lukather, and he was one of the first guitar players to grab me by the ears. Hold The Line came out amongst a bunch of Pop Crap in the seventies, when I was first learning. Didn't know what he was doing - but I liked it. I discovered Page later.... Moore - hot & cold. Vai, Satriani, Eric Johnson, Malmsteen = fretboard gymnastics - ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................... Billy Gibbons on anything before Eliminator came out - Pearly Gates indeed. Angus & Malcomb, when Bon Scott was still up front - Timeless. Joe Perry - ANYTHING by Aerosmith in the seventies. Tom Petty - all downhill after the early eighties. Clapton - did a few songs I like. Beck - same. Townsend - did several I liked with the Who, but I never bought any of it. Rolling Stones - some good stuff, but Jagger turns my stomach. Grateful Dead - Sorry, not a single song do I give a damn about. Doors - See Grateful Dead (Okay, maybe LA Woman) Jethro Tull - Huh? A flute? Yes - Too far up their own ***. CSN - Out of all their albums I like maybe three songs. Springsteen - No thanks. Beatles - I liked Wings stuff a lot.... That's enough for now. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 80's metal - sucked almost exclusively. Ratt - Out Of The Cellar was good. Cinderella had some good Les Paul-heavy songs. GnR - AFD was a killer album, Axl should have quit then. Even the Metal Gods started using synths and wearing pink spandex.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Jocko.... You didn't own any Spandex in the eighties, did ya? I mean, if you took it off some drunk chick and she forgot about it.... But, for yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Beach Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Some of the few things I know for sure in life is that Joe Banamassa has AMAZING tone, live or studio. And Hatebreed puts on one of the most epic live shows ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 How you feel about Page is about the same how I feel about Jack White- tons of emotion, feeling, swagger, but he isn't for everybody. Foo Fighters rocked my world the first time I heard them. Black Keys is doing that right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jameslucascalvert Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Also, I've seen Jimmy Page live quite a few times, and he blew me away every time. Page is the reason I started playing guitar, and the reason I love Gibsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Metal Gods started using synths and wearing pink spandex....[/quote'] Well lets talks about all the rockers during the latter 70's that jumped on the disco bandwagon[thumbdn] .... Thank god bands like Boston and Van Halen were able to put some water to that disco inferno era. As for 80's metal, there was one aspect that did bother me is that talent took a back seat to image. Our band back in the 80's after our rhythm guitar player and drummer were killed, we were forced to pass up on some great musicians because they didn't fit the slim bodied, full head of hair image.....
