This is a tough one, but I'm gonna go with Gary.
He started the band, so credit where credit is due.
Also the only guitarist to have his lyrics sung by Von on an official release.

Some of the lyrics on the first single, but most notably Poison DoorBlack Shuck wrote:Really? I didn't know that. Which GM lyrics did Von sing?hallucienate wrote:

'Tis true. And Gary also claims to have written SOME of the lyrics on earlier songs, although this is obviously not credited. I THINK he referred to Floorshow, but I could have misremembered that. You get my point, anyway. I'm having a bad day. I just thought it was 2004, for instance.

Gotta be Mr Marx...BUT! H*ssey did do a good job too.
Now, as I was saying yesterday, Quiffy, if we had a Single Transferable Vote system, both these preferences would be registered...
Democracy at work...see?
Tee hee!

Hasta be Von. He did play Reptile House and Temple and who knows what else, so a lot of those early riffs we all loved so much were actually him.

Gone for Marx on the basis of personality / style.
This is a hard one, because apart from the very early gigs and Wake, the Sisters have always had two guitarists.
Now if it was song writing ability Von would win hands down.
Perhaps we need another poll for the best combination of guitarists that have played live together?
Marx/Gunn
Marx/Hussey
Hussey/Backing tape
Bruhn/Bricheno
Bruhn/Pearson
Pearson/Starling
Pearson/Varjak.
If this was the case I'd have to go with Bruhh/Bricheno.

One has to own up and say Huss. There was just something about the guitar sound he had then...the beginning of "Bury Me Deep" springs to mind..brrr...shivers down the spine etc.
Tim Bricheno was a lot more easy on the eye though
(shallow girlie opinion)

Recorded material definately Hussey, Live, Bruhn and Bricheno.

I've got a bad feeling that Hussey may actually have been better technically, but I hate what he did to their sound so I have to choose Mr Marx. Also, when I was watching Pete Burn's arse, I mean Dead or Alive, in Liverpool in 83, I don't remember seeing Mr Hussey, so he can't have been that impressive after all.

Hussey, mainly for his performance at RAH, especially the solo on Knocking On Heaven's Door, an exercise aural simplicity and sonic restraint.

Hang, on, best guitarist? Not best song writer...
Hussey, hands down. Etch from Ghost Dance once remarked to me that he was as good a guitarist as Gary Marx, but not as good as Richard (other GD guitarist).
Even Von will admit Hussey was the best (on a good day)

You voted for him just because he's your Huddersfield fella,didn't you?Ta!Padstar wrote:Bricheno !

Anyway...
Can I just have them all at once,please? Because each is equally important for the Sisters sound in complete.

Well, perhaps a bit, but i still do genuinly think hes the best guitarist out of the lot of them.Nancy_78 wrote:You voted for him just because he's your Huddersfield fella,didn't you?Ta!Padstar wrote:Bricheno !

I interpreted the "best" in the poll not as referring to technical merits but to congeniality. Marx, for me, defines the Sisters sound, while Hussey and Bricheno probably play rings around him.Padstar wrote:Well, perhaps a bit, but i still do genuinly think hes the best guitarist out of the lot of them.
