Foro (and others), if you want to "promote" some guitarists from this list that you want to save from early elimination (if you think that they will be eliminated early :)), post a YouTube link here, and I will link it to the guitarist's name in the poll. Who knows, maybe someone changes his mind after listening to some clips :D

NOTE: The list is finished so I won't accept more suggestions, just YouTube clips for guitarists from the list :ok:
 
Re: BEST GUITARISTS EVER GAME: Suggestions

The Guns n' Roses that Buckethead is with isn't GNR, It's just Axl Rose and random band mates.

Chinese Democracy is an awesome album IMO. Btw. Buckethead left the band in 2004.
 
Re: BEST GUITARISTS EVER GAME: Suggestions

I don't wanna seem like every other person out there, but I don't like the new Guns n' Roses. It's like if Iron Maiden disbanded and Bruce Dickinson got together with some musicians and started calling themselves Iron Maiden, It'll probably be a good band none the less but it's not Maiden.
 
Re: BEST GUITARISTS EVER GAME: Suggestions

It's not the same, because Bruce isn't an original Iron Maiden member, but Axl IS the founder of G'N'R.

G'N'R is Axl's band. He has the right to do whatever he wants with it. I agree that he's an idiot, but not musically. Chinese Democracy is much better than Slash's solo album.

Re: BEST GUITARISTS EVER GAME: Suggestions

As much as I like CD - and I like it a lot - there's no way it is better than Slash's album.It's a great rocking album, one of last year's best albums.I can name almost any song from it and almost any singer on it sounds better nowadays than Axl.While on CD probably the best songs are the ballads plus Better.
And by the way I absolutely love Slash's versions of GNR songs with Myles Kennedy.If both bands were in town I would go for Slash with Myles Kennedy for sure.

I know, I already linked those videos, but I thought maybe you want to do the same for more guitarists - some that you wanted to suggest, but were already on the list :)

I would go for sure to G'N'R show because they play my favorite G'N'R song - November Rain. I don't like Myles Kennedy and Slash's solo album is too commercial for my taste. Slash is coming here in ~2 weeks and I won't go, G'N'R were in town last year but I spent all my money on a vacation and couldn't buy the ticket :(

Aha, cool, thanks for the opportunity. I'll think about it. Maybe I'll leave it with these four. E.g. it isn't easy to show McLaughlin's qualities in one clip. I especially think he wrote great songs for Mahavishnu Orchestra (a band which shined as a collective), but maybe I'll do one of those. And Django sure deserves a clip as well.
 
Re: BEST GUITARISTS EVER GAME: Suggestions

Sorry I'm a late arrival to this thread, but why wasn't Buck Dharma included?
He's in my personal top five — speed and soul, with a unique, off-kilter phrasing.

Check the outro solo out on this one, starting at about the 4:30 mark.

Re: BEST GUITARISTS EVER GAME: Suggestions

I've been sayin' Buck Dharma the whole time! I loved Blue Oyster Cult.
 
Re: VOTE FOR THE NEXT GAME: Best bassists OR best drummers

I'll use this thread for the poll:

NEXT GAME: Best bassists OR best drummers

I chose drummers :D
 
Re: VOTE FOR THE NEXT GAME: Best bassists OR best drummers?

Bassists. Of course.

And I'll vote off any and every bassist who uses a pick. GO PLAY A GUITAR ALREADY YA POSER.
 
Re: VOTE FOR THE NEXT GAME: Best bassists OR best drummers?

Bassist. I better see Chris Squire in there.
 
Re: VOTE FOR THE NEXT GAME: Best bassists OR best drummers?

This poll will last until we get to the Top 10 of Best guitarists game. Then I'll open the suggestions thread for one of these games, and when Best guitarists game ends, one of these games will start.
