Geetar Gods

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

@VT: I should've said Clapton and Santana were also taken as read.

Leslie West of Mountain was no slouch either, if we're stuck in that 1968-71 thaaang.
The Weekend World theme was 'Nantucket Sleighride (to Owen Coffin)'.
A good read is the book about Owen Coffin's, uh life...

If you desire anymore Mountain info, clicky below

I forgot to mention John McLaughlin, especially his Mahavishnu Orchestra days.

It was always my first choice but having watched the Led Zep/RAH dvd it has to be Jimmy Page. There's moments in Dazed & Confused when he's picking out notes 12 frets apart. Everyone mentioned before - respect. Fastest fingers first? Jimmy Page.

Original GG - Mick Jones. A punk who could play a guitar. Having met him, a truely humble GG. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

Mick Jones' favourite band was Mott The Hoople.
No complaints here!
On returning to John Mc. first speed metal guitarist, EVER!
I've been listening to a Best Of Mahavishnu Orchesta tonight on repeat.

Stuart Adamsom R.I.P. of SKIDS fame and Big Country infamy (laterly) deserves a mention.

Yep, agreed. Wish I'd seen Big Country live, they were brilliant apparently.
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.

Saw SKIDS live twice, both on Absolute Game tour, brilliant. Was at Nightmoves on Big Country's first ever tour when all they had out was Harvest Home on 7", also brilliant.

Happy days...... :D

I think a stick has been gotten hold of by the wrong end Ness.
I wasn't being rude in anyway. The line was from a Maxell tape ad in the 80's where they reinacted Bob Dylan's 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' video with songs that had difficult to understand lyrics.
SKIDS Into The Valley was one such.
actually lyric:
Ahoy!, Ahoy!
Boy, Man and Soldier

ad version:
Ahoy!, Ahoy!
Barman, a Soda!

Desmond Dekker's Israelites (Ma Ears Are Alight) got the same treatment.

:D

Tony Iommi.

Missing the tips of 2 fingers on his fretting hand and still rocking like a bad un :)

Many other guitarists have great technique, or individual style, but I think Iommi has the balance for me - Influencing many of the current crop of guitarists and a great feel in his playing.

BTW for Kirk Hammet fans, a LOT of Metallica has been lifted directly from Sabbath (eg the whole intro note for note of Outlaw Torn is taken off the Mob Rules album)

Dont get me wrong I love Metallica as a band, but sometimes bits of songs and early solos just sound a little too familiar....
