Dean Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thought this could be an interesting thread.For me, Brian May is probably the most under-rated guitarist I've ever came across. Freddie gets most of the praise for what Queen achieved, but Brians song writing, as well as his live performences seem to be forgotten.Who's yours, then?

Bansidhe Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Old school guitar players who don't get much notice these daysJohnny WinterLeslie West of MountainBilly Duffy of the CultAbsolutely. Duffy is superb. The Cult has always evolved from album to album but you can always tell it's him playing. Also has a fantastic live tone. Another one I'd suggest is Geordie Walker of Killing Joke. The guy has such a unique way of applying riffs and ideas to guitar and for someone who uses a big Gibson hollowbody guitar for the vast majorty of KJ stuff, he sounds much heavier than a lot of metal guys.

DopeSickGirl Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Not a musician per se, but a fabulous singer called Heidi Talbot. She should be way more famous than she is, her lyrics and vocals are beautiful.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Blind Melon - Amazing band, it's a shame that Shannon passed away, he was such a great talent.Screaming Trees - imo they should have been as big as Soundgarden or Alice In Chains. Mark Lanegan is awesomeJerry Cantrell - great songwriter, but I feel like Layne sort of overshadowed him in the band though. Ever since the new AIC album dropped I hear him talked about more oftenBrad Whitford - again another musician who was overshadowed, Great player, but Joe Perry gets name dropped more often in regards to AerosmithFaith No More - just an all-around great bandJohny Marr - Great guitarist, his work in The Smiths was unreal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
