I used to think EVH had the most distinctive/phattest tone then I realised it wasn't too different from what Leslie West does/has been doing since back in the early seventies. On a side note about Gibbons, any man who can wear that length of beard for so many years deserves respect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I'd say he's the top notch best modern guitarist, think 2000-present. From Californication on, he made some beautiful shit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that he has a mental side too. i don't mean all that junkie shit, i mean his kinda extreme artist bent that leads to albums like Niandra Lades and all that. The idea that he'd leave a fuckin' heavyweight band with which he was doing some class work just so he could make his own shit thats kinda like, outside of the bounds of popular music makes that mad bastard so endearing to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the mental side also comes out in his playing. On those later Peppers albums, he wasn't just making riffs, he was taking the music to a certain place. Putting feelings into it. Digging deep on his guitar. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Most of my favorites have been mentioned already, but holy fuck! How has no one mentioned Mike motherfucking McCready? Don't get me wrong, I know most of you here hate Pearl Jam because all they seem to do is write songs penned for the soundtrack to the most depressing movie ever (I think someone on this forum mentioned that a couple months or even years ago) I feel like most people fail to actually truly listen to any of their music though. I mean like TRULY listen to it instead of hearing Alive or Black on the car radio once in awhile. A young Mike McCready is by far one of the most under rated guitarists of our time. there is just something about his guitar tone that really stands out from Pearl Jams peers. It may be his subtle use of the wah, or his really muddy guitar tone, I really can't explain it as im not a guitarist myself. Here, maybe this can explain: This video isnt in synch, so don't pay attention to it. just listen: Also... this whole fucking song: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Dog Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Bootsy Collins. Bass, but he wrote classics with it. Monster solos. One of the funkiest players ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work on Stadium Arcadium is inspired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
