There is a separate section for polls ya know?

yeah but most fights in here are about the guitarists so i figured maybe you know just maybe...

[realpoti]

Buckethead is better than all of then together, but I really like Ashba and Bumblefoot.

[plonker88]

It's a toss up between Fortus, Bumble and Buckethead.

[Guest Satanisk_Slakt]

I like Fortus and DJ Ashba the best of those.

[Cdlove]

I like Ron the most. His technical ability SHAMES the rest.

[dimitrisaxl]

Paul Tobias for me. His role in Chinese Democracy is underestimated. Sure his technical skills in guitar playing are better only than Axl's but he was a key part in CD.

[bucketmaster101]

I think BH largely cos I really like BBF as a person, but as a guitar player, whilst extremely fast, when he solo's it just sounds like he's doing for the sake of doing it, whereas I think BH has a bit more melody in there. Of course, just my opinion. I also think that because BH recorded CD, and BBF just jammed over existing tracks, it's an unfair poll anyway =p

[AxlsAngel]

DJ Ashba.

Mostly personal preference because I think they were all great and contributed so much to GNR in their own unique ways. Ashba seems more "GNRish" to me though. He seems to fit better imo. Plus, I think he seems to appeal more to the younger generation GNR fans.

Bumble is my favorite for sure, but there's no denying Bucket is the "best".

[YOUCOULDBEMINE.]

couldn't decide so i gave everyone a vote

[Lose Your Illusions]

that's right vote for the best CD era guitarist

have fun!!

by favorite do u mean skill wise or just like his style and personality?

favorite skill wise is BH, DJs my favorite style wise. i voted DJ.

[Jakey Styley]

Bucket for the most talented one.

Bumblefoot for being such a cool guy and fitting GNR more. I couldn't vote Buckethead without throwing BBF in there.

[The Glow Inc.]

If I am to judge on CD only : then Buckethead, obviously.

If I am to judge on tour : Bumblefoot and Buckethead are on par, even though I'm really impressed by how Ron changed his playing style especially for this tour.

If I am to judge on their solo discography and as guitarists in general : Ron Thal, by far.

I can almost touch some of Bucket's stuff if I work really hard, I'll never be able to play anything by Ron Thal ( I mean average difficulty solos by both guitarists, not rythm guitar ).

I like Bucket's tone better, but Bumblefoot's stuff is way harder and he comes with techiques of his own. His playing is VERY original. It's not just shred. He adds in polyrythmic "patterns", thimble, fretless, all while singing...insanely unplayable stuff.

[tomazrui]

Hard to choose.

Voted Bumblefoot.

Same here, Ron does stuff that was never even thought of. A good amount of people that say Buckethead is the most talented in terms of skill have never heard any of Bumbles solo stuff. I put it this way, Bucket is evolutionary, Bumble is revolutionary.

Exactly what has Fortus done apart from the occasional kick ass solo spot on tour? He can't even be heard on the album.

[bacardimayne]

Double vote for Bucket and BBF.

I base it on his performance live, the guy just oozes rock n roll. He really can steal the spotlight from Axl at times.

[sweetness]

Bucket and Fink contributed the best guitar parts to CD, and we all know who the best out of those two is

I like Fortus the most though

[ohmygod]

[Graeme]

Ron all the way, best thing to happen to Guns N Roses since the end of the Illusion tour.

[LightningBolt]

Bumblefoot. 9.11 is a great album.

If you're talking about with Guns, then Bucket I guess, but I prefer Bumblefoot as a guitarist in general (though Bucket's solo stuff can be amazing, too).

[ashysdad]

I like Fortus the most though

I don't understand. What has Fortus done that makes him your favorite? You like the way he looks?

Amazing.
