Vincent Vega Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I mean the guy can play in every genre, he makes amazing albums like Abnormal, he's an awesome singer with lots of range, he can sing in whistle register (99% of males can't), he's an awesome songwriter and he even makes great hot sauces as if he wasn't awesome enough already.Is Bumblefoot the greatest guitarist alive, or of our time?

Towelie Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Not sure if you're being serious Miser...But I actually think he's probably one of the best guitarists alive today and a vastly underrated songwriter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Maybe the best cover guitarist of our time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Yes, Bumby has done more for guitar than EVH, Slash, Jimi Hendrix (yes, he's part of "our time"), Les Paul, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page.Yes, Bumblefoot is the greatest guitarist of our time. Yes, absolutely YES. Edited June 20, 2013 by niceguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Bumblefoot is below par in any time.he's a soulless shredder with nothing to say artistically.he brings shame on the GNR name.When he first joined GN'R, I wasn't too keen on his playing style, as it was definitely way more 'shred' than today. But he's definitely adapted to the style of the tunes and plays with more soul now. Not as bluesy as Slash, but closer to Buckethead at least.

machinegunner Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Give him a chance, he hasn't even made an album with Guns from the start yet. he had his hands tied with CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 One of my favorite yes, at least his solos on Chinese are inspired and originals. I think he should have a better tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think id rather listen to that 10 yr old girl shred EVH's eruption on youtube or the 8yr old girl play SCOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 While he can cover other people's material incredibly good, his original material is awful so no, not the greatest guitarist of our time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 He may be a very technically gifted guitarist. I don't know if more than Satriani or Steve Vai or Buckethead. It's really a group of his peers that would decide. Maybe they all point at Jimi Hendrix.Fame seems to decide who's a great guitarist nowadays.
