Doc, Where's Thorogood?

May 14, 2008 at 12:42 PM

Most Unique: Mark Knopfler.

Cheers!!

May 14, 2008 at 12:45 PM

Freakin Georgie Boy ROCKS hard as ANYONE... but just because you rock doesn't mean that you are a fantastic guitar player... I love John Fogarty too but they are not a multi chord players... LOL!

May 14, 2008 at 12:51 PM

Worst guitar players:

- Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit (rythm guitar anyway)
- Marc Bolan of T. Rex
- Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and the Dead 27 Club.
- Bille Joe Armstrong of Green Day
- The guitarists for Good Charlotte, Fall Out Boy, Blink 182, Sum 41, New Found Glory, and the entire genre of Emo rockers. More like Elmo rock.

May 14, 2008 at 1:05 PM

Ooooooh I can't forget my buddy Peter Mayer... the guitar that gives Jimmy Buffett that Bufett sound. And he is a super nice guy too!

May 14, 2008 at 1:14 PM

Oh also on my list of least favorite guitarists is JOHN MAYER!!!! In fact he should be #1. I've just tried to block him out of my head. AAGGHH!!!!

May 14, 2008 at 1:17 PM

Can we do singers next week? I'm really bad at musicians names.

May 14, 2008 at 1:23 PM

I don't know the first thing about this. I listen to the music, know names of bands, but not people!

Please, don't judge.

May 14, 2008 at 1:31 PM

LOL @ Apple

We don't judge Bina baby... We are all about fun. What bands do you like or think they have the best guitar music in them?

May 14, 2008 at 1:33 PM

AAAAP, I'll eventually do singers, bassists, pianists and oboeists.

May 14, 2008 at 1:48 PM

Georgie T would make the singer list... "Yackity-Yackity-Yackity-Yack all the time!"

I will go ahead and tell you that Apple loves Steve Perry.

May 14, 2008 at 1:50 PM

Journey rocks! Are we limited to men or are we equal opportunity? Pat Benetar has got some pipes. I also love Def Leopard, AC/DC, Gun-n-Roses, Aerosmith and Stryper.

Oh, the drummer for Casting Crowns is awesome.

May 14, 2008 at 2:10 PM

Pretty much any guitarist that can make his fingers do lots of chords really fast get me excited about what else he could do with those fingers. ;p

May 14, 2008 at 2:12 PM

Believe it or not I am not going to go with Joe Perry (Aerosmith) as my answer this time around. Although I think Joe is fantastic he doesn't hold a candle to Eddie Van Halen.

May 14, 2008 at 2:26 PM

This is going to make me sound old, but when I saw Van Halen the thing I remember most about them was they were very very loud and this was like 26 years ago. I'm not saying they aren't goo, not at all. They rock.

May 14, 2008 at 2:40 PM

I'm not saying they aren't goo

Hard to speak when you are gumming it.

May 14, 2008 at 2:41 PM

Lu, go to youtube and search for "Van Halen -- Respect the Wind" You'll dig that, guarantee!

May 14, 2008 at 2:51 PM

Here's a link so you don't have to search....

May 14, 2008 at 2:53 PM

I saw Van Halen once (with Mt. Cat) and they were pretty durn good... Each member had like a 10 minute solo on stage by themself... Pretty cool stuff!

May 14, 2008 at 2:57 PM

Doc stoled my answer...Mark Knopfler...just bought those tickets last night!! I hope row O is close...

Also, the late Michael Houser from WSP :)

May 14, 2008 at 3:11 PM

Carlos Santana
Jeff Beck
Chet Atkins

May 14, 2008 at 3:14 PM

Row O is actually row Zero... it's in front of the 1st row !!!




(do you think she is believing it?)

May 14, 2008 at 3:14 PM

Nigel Tufnel is a Rock God!

May 14, 2008 at 3:41 PM

Slash, how can you not have Slash on here?
Angus Young?
Hendrix of course.
Pete Townshend, Gene Simmons, and the kid from Extreme, Nuno Bettencourt.

May 14, 2008 at 4:03 PM

That was evil, Doc...

I'm just going to ditto Jay, because he got most of mine down first. Carlos and Clapton...sigh...

May 14, 2008 at 4:06 PM

Jeff Beck. Hands down. The best. In my opinion.

May 14, 2008 at 4:15 PM

Meanie!! I almost did believe it, lol!

May 14, 2008 at 4:37 PM

MARK FARNER ????
RANDY BACHMAN ?????

May 14, 2008 at 5:01 PM

Pat, We cannot include guitarists you've had sex with. LOL

May 14, 2008 at 5:07 PM

Vin your father reads this blog...
lol.........

May 14, 2008 at 5:12 PM

Jimmy Page is a family hero!
But all these guys are so good at what they do, there can't be a "best", it's all about how they make you feel. Like Eric Clapton, my God the guy is a.........I don't have the word!

May 14, 2008 at 5:16 PM

Pat,

I know but I didn't sleep with Mark Farner nor Randy Bachman so my dad won't care.

May 14, 2008 at 5:25 PM

Hopefully I'm not repeating any, but here are some I didn't see yet:
Angus Young
Ted Nugent
Slash
Kirk Hammett
Joe Walsh
Vernon Reid
Dave Mustain
Peter Frampton
Prince
Alex Lifeson

BTW, I saw VH in concert a few months ago and Eddie was f'n amazing. You could of heard a pin drop during his 12 minute solo. Impressive!

May 14, 2008 at 7:56 PM

Hands down...it's gotta be Clapton...of course this has nothing to do with the fact that the man is a complete SPUNK A RUNI !.....mmmmmmmmmmm.mmmmmm

May 15, 2008 at 12:39 AM

Relaxed: Cat Stevens
