We could tell just by the cover... Slash with an Epiphone? There's nothing wrong with Epiphones but Slash plays with Gibsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 so who do we got so far?Hendrix, VH, Kurt, Clapton, Pagethere seems to be some dispute about Jack White, and I don't know about Brian May either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_0013 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Someone may have put this in the thread already (can't be bothered looking), but Slash has confirmed on Twitter hes had nothing to do with this documentaryLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Someone may have put this in the thread already (can't be bothered looking), but Slash has confirmed on Twitter hes had nothing to do with this documentaryLAGood, started to worry! So he had nothing to do with the chosen words, thank god!!!!PS, Brian May maybe not be the best, but he sure is very famous, still. Thought 'iconic' kind of similar to famous in this case or that's what I understand out of the chosen words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 so who do we got so far?Hendrix, VH, Kurt, Clapton, Pagethere seems to be some dispute about Jack White, and I don't know about Brian May either.Damn, shows how much you people know about guitar. Kurt Cobain and jack White Have to go. They don't come close to to guitar icons. Brian may is deffinetly in there.Myles kennedy is a better guitarist than both of them and he is far from a guitar icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players can be trained/taught/made, musicians are a different matter. Shit, even the guy in the initial text, Keith Richards ain't much of a player, but he's a hell of an icon. I'm sure Myles is a better guitarist than him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose! Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Add Ritchie Blackmore, Pete Townshend, Tony Ioomi, and Angus Young to that list too.And lol at people saying Jack White's not an iconic guitar player. Plus, I think Kurt Cobain shouldn't even be mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) You have to include Jeff Beck maybe not as well known to todays music fans but for me these guys were iconic growing up.........Johnny Winter, Leslie West, Alvin Lee, Joe Perry, For more modern players how about Randy Rhodes, Joe Satriani or Steve Vai and Yngwie Edited June 1, 2012 by classicrawker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Jeff Beck definately, also a hero of mine growing up!This is probably a generation thing though. Oh, can I add:BB KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Top that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB. Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Duane AllmanTrue, but I think again another generation thing, unfortunatelly.Died so young, not many know him nowadays. One of the best, but not really 'iconic'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 See, now you're just listing guitar legends. Icons are aside from that, they are the players that even people who don't know guitar, or music in general can still recognize from a photo, or a name.

I'm sure Myles is a better guitarist than him too. Kurt and Jack are pop icons not guitar icons because when you think of them you don't associate them with a great solo or unique guitar playing. Keith brought the country and blues feel to rock.Now about Myles, technically he is a better guitar player than Keith but he is not a better over all guitar player. Take Gary Clark Jr. for an example. Anyone can play what he plays but just a couple of people can play it the way he is playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEXzilla Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 As far as image goes Slash is easily the most recognizable guitar player in the past 30 years and then you go with his songs n everyone knows the the beginning of SCOM n Jungle heck even Slither the guy just has a knack for creating memorable riffs and just plain good music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
