Dechristo Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 No Chet Atkins, no Eric Johnson, but Angus Young is on the list? Oh brother. Eric Johnson, no shit! Should be in top 5 at least. Lindsay Buckingham? No shit! Amazing, jaw-dropping sweeps of a tail Quote
G-spotter Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Here is some trivia. Sonny Sharrock and Machine Gun recorded a song called "Muffy's First Date" Quote
ScottP Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Buddy Guy nearly levitating...1968. Elmore James isn't on the list and he influenced a bunch of the people who are on it. Quote
glm Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Not a bad list, as long as you add "in no particular order". I've seen a good number of these guys and the order is way off. So, where's Steve Vai? Frank Zappa said he gave Vai all the stuff that was too hard for him to play and Zappa was no slouch! Also, we seem to be limited to one idiom - where's Django Reinhardt, Chet Atkins, or, for that matter, Segovia? They all played guitar, as I recall, and fairly well, probably better than, say, Johnny Ramone... Oh and, yes, BB King should be on this list. He's a bit slower and more laid back now, and he IS in his 80s, but listen to his older stuff. Quote

Off_White Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 And damned loud too, saw Dinosaur Jr a few weeks ago in Olympia and I even had to put an earplug in the mostly deaf ear. Good show. Quote

No. 13 Baby Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Used to live near J in Massachusetts so I saw him play a lot, but most recently in Eugene with Mike Watt (Minutemen). They played a bunch of Stooges songs and my ears were ringing for days as usual. Only shows close to Dino for loudness were Sonic Youth, and Jeff Beck two million years ago. Saw J in the audience at a Richard Thompson show once, asked if they might jam and J said he was totally intimidated by RT. Quote

philfort Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Where is Prince? He may be a freak, and not really known for playing guitar - but he's better than a lot of guitarists on that list. Watch him wail here. Quote
