JONEZY Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Inspired by Zeppelinrocksnexttognr's thread.Who could match up to Slash energy wise on stage? I admit this is an unfair question, because many guitar players in the 60's, 70's had energy on stage, but could not run around because their guitars were not wireless. That being said, who has/had as much energy as Slash shows on stage? Pick a #1 choice and add some others too if you like. (Can be Lead guitar or Bass Guitar-no lead singers)I'll go with Angus Young(I'm sure Peg will agree with me).Others:Eddie Van HalenPete TownshendJimmy PageCliff Burton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Child Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Angus YoungEventhough he had a wire connected to his guitar that didn't stop him from going through the crowd and rolling around on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peg Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Angus Young! And still running around like he did in his 20's!Rock on Angus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocoma13 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Nobody can match the energy of Angus. The guy just never stops moving. Slash will at least take a break now and then. I read somewhere years ago Angus sheds 5 to 10 pounds each show. That number always sounded too high to me but I'm sure he loses a few.

johnezz Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) Ritchie Blackmore for sure, he would throw his guitar up several metres into the air, catch it, swing it around, then throw it on the ground and kick the shit outta it, pick it up and play like nothing ever happened.Angus of course, he's a just plain inhumane, how can someone have so much energy Slash doesn't really have a reputation as a amazing live guitairist.Oh and defantly can't forget Pete TownshendAll the Maiden guitarists are very active on stage, well they wernt to start off but by the end of the 80's they started to move around alot more. Dave and Janick were crazy at Donnington 93 Edited February 4, 2006 by johnezz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamisonic Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I don't know, but Jimmy Page's dancing on the The Song Remains The Same dvd are incredible, especially on the title track! Pete Townshend is insane as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Agree with Pete Townshend - fucking awesome on-stage. Combine that with the bare-chested Daltry wailing on vocals, the ultra-cool/laid-back style of Entwistle on bass, Keith Moon just being a total animal behind the drums -- and you realise that The Who really did set that the benchmark of what a real rock n' roll band should look like.I still think Slash is the coolest guitarist I've ever seen, though. Had such a great look - instantly recognisable, even from just a silhouette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jochen Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Jason Newsted. He runs around some, but what I like is his non-stop headbanging. The Slayer guitarists are good headbangers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearofSlash Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 having seen slash play i must say he is very good live. however i have been fortunate enough to see two even better live guitarists. joe perry and lindsey buckingham were both amazing live. Joe perry was all over the place and put on a better show than steven tyler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearofSlash Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 he doesn't jump around lots but he puts on a good show while playing some of the best guitar you've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
