Wrong.

Why no mention of Clapton?

Posted: **25 Apr 2004, 01:31**

@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...

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

Posted: **02 May 2004, 01:34**

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

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.

Posted: **03 May 2004, 18:36**

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......

I do not need to think....fanks

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.

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....
