Ah. We're on an entirely different wavelength. I love Vai, Satriani, Johnson, and most of the '80s shredheads. I dislike Thorogood, but mostly becaue I think he's a bland imitation of better blues guitarists from the '60s, like Magic Sam, Buddy Guy, or Albert King. Stevie Ray Vaughn and Saul Hudson could play rings around Thorogood, and did far more for the modernization and evolution of blues in that decade.Walkinghairball wrote:
He has chops and all that I agree, but like Yingwee J. Marmoladeand George Thorogood, and a few other guitarists........Vai, Satch, E. Johnson, I tire of the guitar masturbation they do. But I can name drummers that do the same. Just my buckfiddy brother.
Gene Simmons once said....................~"What's wrong with a great power chord that cracks yer ribs. What's with a billion notes that sounds like a swarm of angry bees, awh shut up."~
Gene Simmons? Oh brother...
KISS deserve their own thread, for reasons both amazing and unbelievably turgid.
Strength and beauty destined to decay

Don't get me wrong, I also dig 80's hairmetal/buttrock, 
(now Ogg will prolly disown me as his brother from another mother), just some of the git players got to me. Here are some of the guitar players I do really like from the era.
Vito Bratta, Paul Gilbert (another player of the guitar)
, Dude from Great White, Scorps dudes, awh crap...............I forget.
Anyhow, I heard "He man woman hater" on the radio yesterday, with the big guitar intro......................... was that called "The flight of the wounded bumblebee?" It almost sounded like he was doing the Gilbert power drill thingie.
Saul Hudson.......................... I would have never considered Slash as a blues player.
Yeah Boo on George.
Kiss, yeah you are right, they do need their own thread, good, bad, or indifferent. Kiss, (Well........ Peter Criss) is the reason I became a drummer, RUSH, (Neil) is why I wanted to be a better drummer.

'Blood is thicker then water, blood is thicker than water..." Well, I managed to get the urge under control at the expense of a torn shirt but barely a hint of green so a narrow escape for all there.
We have this daft thing at work where we play local radio
(aaaargh!) throughout the morning shift and many attempt to sing along. I roam the office berating folk for their poor choice of song to sing, in my role as self appointed moral guardian of the office. It's been going on for years and raises a chuckle with numerous people singing in fear of a rebuke from my acidic self, heh heh.
'Butt rock' etc etc WILL be subject to instant attack, I just cant help myself but it's for YOUR safety that I endanger myself.
ps: feel free to browse my thousand plus album collection hunting for pretention, your pickings will be few.

I do agree w/ Doctor X on this one, those guys were a great team! Some of their songs were excellent. Please don't lump them in with Warrant, there is no comparison at all. Gary may be gay but he isn't a rock fag! At least he has talent.....Nuno rocks too! I still listen to his solo CD from many years ago.
