dem00n Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Oh and i vote Bruce Franklin from trouble. He was a riff machine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4HontdIJqE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 The issue of subjectivity rears its ugly head in these threads. I will agree with you on Brian May's noteworthy contribution to rock guitar, but he is NOT under-rated. Ask anybody what they think about Brian May and you will get a thumb up. I'm old enough to remember when each Queen album came out, and was eagerly devoured by EVERYBODY. May gets his due respect in any circle. Freddie Mercury, on the other hand, people had a bit of trouble with... Dead and gone, he's now safely ranked as a legend. In the early eighties he was largely regarded as a freak - immense talent notwithstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Oh, and I'm still a big fan of Ace Frehley's work in Kiss - though he's an idiot in real life. He and Paul Stanley are a significant part of the reason I picked up the guitar in the late seventies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I would too but I'm out of ammo... My standard reply - Rory Gallagher. Audley Freed is another. David Grissom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WahKeen Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Alex Lifeson. Hands down. I dont care what you guys say. You might care, 'cos I don't think he's underrated at all. I think he's the BOMB!! Always liked his style. I haven't hear anyone dis him, unless I've missed it in here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantha Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 My standard reply - Rory Gallagher. I'm new to Rory's work.. but he's amazing. He really is a well kept secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I wonder if a term like "under recognized" would be better. I think "under rated" just means that their name doesn't come up in the "greatest" or "best" lists too often, but they are still great players. So, having said that few I would list are: Elliot Easton Andy Summers Buck Dharma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't hear anyone dis him, unless I've missed it in here... Nooo...I didnt mean it like that. Of course he's awesome. Everyone knows he's awesome. I just dont know if he is necessarily underrated anymore. Not overrated though, by any means. That was the joke. Sorry for the vagueness. I should probably go to bed. I've posted too much. Im getting goofy now. Friday night and all that. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree Brian is given due credit But Freddie was a terrific keyboard man With lots of good harmonic ideas Together they were fantastic....

Versatile Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Andy Summers is rarely mentioned As a true genius of guitar Often overshadowed by Sting's talent as a songwriter Andy I think brought an original tonal palette And use of 'space' to those timeless Police classics.
