| 791001 | 2009-07-14 06:03:00 | what about buckethead? im not a huge fan but his some of his solo stuff is pretty cool | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 791002 | 2009-07-14 22:48:00 | Buckethead is out of this world, he's been around alot longer than people think. I put him in the Vai catergory(sp?): Awesome technical ability but over all hard to listen to except a couple of songs. To much fretboard gymnastics and not enough solid songs. | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||

Yeah he's kind of in that avant-garde category with guys like Allan Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola etc . . . . . . technically amazing, but often pretty unlistenable . Vai has always been a musician who just happens to rip it up fiercely, whereas other guys are just shredders or technically great, but have no musicality . If you want some nutty playing, check out Freak Kitchen :thumbs |

| 791005 | 2009-07-15 01:42:00 | Tony Joe White? No . He might be a good gaitor-guitman, but not all that great . He's slightly above Keb' Mo' ( . wikipedia . org/wiki/Keb%27_Mo" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org) for style, but not ability . There are so many other swamp-men in the US that you cannot even fathom the sheer number of them on the radio here . Some just get the "sound" by flatting their top E-string a little to get a raw edge on their tone . You are bringing a whole different category (Delta Bluesmen) into the "Best Ax" question . Muddy Waters and Slim Harpo and a lot of the Bayou guitarists are 'way out in another field . Henry James Townsend, Joe Willie "Pinetop" Perkins, Robert Lockwood, Jr . , "Papa Charlie", McCoy, David Honeyboy Edwards and others abound here with much respect and devotion to their craft . They are NOT TOP-40 artists however . , For sheer guts and "musical presence" on stage or recordings and DVDs, you cannot beat ZZ Top ( . wikipedia . org/wiki/ZZ_Top" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org) . Two guitars - (a bass and a rhythm/lead plus drums) completely fill the voids (of which there are none) in their music and style . I cite: "She's Got Legs" or "Eliminator" - the WHOLE album . Their 2003 album - Mescalero, was too much synth I feel to really get into the music as there was a wall that blocked one from hearing the tones and feedback . I also hear a clicktrack in a few of the cuts . Ah well - I digressed again . . |

| 791006 | 2009-07-15 01:59:00 | Eliminator and everything that has come after it is incredibly weak ZZ Top material, All over produced and light weight synth pop. | Metla (12) | ||
| 791007 | 2009-07-20 03:57:00 | Peter Frampton. John Fogerty. :) |

| 791008 | 2009-07-20 06:51:00 | Yeah, x 2 @ Peter Frampton. He sure has some skills. | Greg (193) | ||
| 791009 | 2009-07-20 09:30:00 | My favourite guitarist these days is Ryan Jarman, and given he is now in the same band as another favourite Johnny Marr, then it makes it a must to see The Cribs when they get to New Zealand. Hopefully that is later this year. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
