At This Moment In Time, Who Is The Last Greatest Guitar Player On The Planet Earth? Sadly My Guy Is 53! May You Educate Me Some Hope?

[RUSHHEAD666]

I found an incredible Guns N Roses Three Nights Live In Tokyo Cd Box set from 1992. It's incredible! With a cool booklet and cardboard box.

 

SLASH is 53 but in my mind he is the last great guitar hero on the Earth.

 

Please enlighten me and tell me a much younger guitar player who will take the world be storm and who will rise above the Greats like:

 

Jimi

Stevie

Eddie

iommi

Blackmore

Page

Alex

George

Michael

Warren

Hackett

Vai

Malmsteen

Latimer

DeGarmo

Eric Johnson

Gibbons

Gimour

Beck

Meniketti

Townshend

 

Endless.....

 

Who will replace these greats when we are old and everything in America will be hip hop rap and country.

 

 

We The People here are FUKKKED

 

JMO

 

Where are the New Wave Of Heavy Guitar Players Hiding?

 

NWOHGPH!!!!!!

 

WTF!

Come on, Earl. That's quite the tall order to ask if there is a young guitarist out there who will somehow equal a lot of those on your list. Lots of innovators there and players that have no equals on that list.

 

As for younger ones out there now, I really couldn't tell you. There could be someone ready to take the world by storm or there could be a collective of rock bands out there ready to emerge who all have good players. It's a tough call to make because rock isn't the same as it was years ago. We're more likely to find a great young guitar player by searching the internet than we are to find them through radio or MTV throwing it right in our faces like they used to do back in the day.

Exactly J

 

It is a tall order. Hence the reason why I wrote this thread

 

 

There is no one to pass the torch to.

 

 

We lived in the apex of music. No doubt in my mind.

 

It's a very sad time for guitar infused rock and roll.

 

Time for me to suck on a "Tall Cool One."

Easy:

 

Mark Tremonti

Myles Kennedy

 

One band too. f**k your taste in music, f**k your opinion on the quality of their songs. Their playing is second to none.

if your talking Modern. Mark Tremonti.........ah....ah.......before you Retort earl.......

 

BLOW ME.

 

MARK TREMONTI RULZES!!!!!!

 

lol.

I know a ton of kids who can widdle away, play the right notes, etc, etc but they couldn't write a f***ing song at gunpoint

Has there been anyone since Eddie Van Halen gut punched rock music in the 1970s?

[invisible airwave]

Even though he’s a douchebag, EVH.

[Entre_Perpetuo]

If Matt Bellamy wanted to, he could be the modern guitar hero, but he’s too concerned with songwriting, singing, keys, and the Muse aesthetic to show off his mad guitar skills enough.

I thought of Tremonti while typing that post. But Earl wanted to know about younger players and Tremonti is in his 40s now and pretty well established at this point.

As a collective force, the big four in grunge was probably the last huge gut punch to rock music. You're right about EVH though. He was probably the last individual to do it.

An argument could be made for Jack White. Unfortunately no real scene sprang up around him and The White Stripes taking that direction and making him more influential, but I’d blame that more on the modern bias towards pop/rnb/rap more than his guitar wizardry.

Master Batio, 62 years young.

 

 

Unless it's a guitar-playing octobaby, ain't nothing gonna touch Master Batio.

Seven Nation Army has had a huge impact. Is there a pro sporting event these days that doesn't play it during a game?

Hahahahaha!!!

 

He's really good. Not a fan of Creed do Alter Bridge but he is excellent. Good one. But he was born in 1974.

 

I'm looking for someone a lot younger. An up and coming guitar slinger who will save the archaic guitar solo.

Have you ever given Tremonti's solo material a listen? Check out his new album A Dying Machine if you're curious. Great playing and lots of catchy melodies.
