Andy Summers

 

Are you serious Pat?

 

Now you have known me for many many years. I may be a loud mouth and a nut but I am not a bullshiter or a liar. I swear to you right I after I wrote ANDY TAYLOR Andy Summers went through my mind. I almost wrote it. We are connected brother.

Aye!

 

Summers should be called Andy Strummer. And what makes it worse is he once said he was better than Holdsworth ha ha ha!

IMO Eric Clapton is indeed a great player but an average composer, so part of his legend should be revisited.

But The Edge is something unexpicable to me: the guy can't play a solo!

 

I'm sorry my friend. I only loved Clapton when he was on heroin. I call him ERIC CRAPTON.

 

He is a snooze fest.

 

I like the Edge but yeah he couldn't play a solo if it fell out of his Irish Arse!

 

SCOTT GORHAM!!!!!!!!

 

GARY MOORE!!!!!!!!!

 

RORY GALLAGHER!

 

FUKK THE DULL EDGE! LOL

This is The Edge in a nutshell:

HAHAHAHA! Dude! You made me laugh! Thank you! I needed that! It's a LOVE HATE thing for me. I like all U2 up to "The Joshua Tree" but yes The LEDGE is a HEDGE. He has a unique tone but otherwise his is a hack. Steve Hackett! HACKETT TO PIECE! GTR!

He just found a sound one day by accident and it just worked, everything else he does is bullshit.

I totally agree. I can't believe The Hedge was in that movie with White and Page. Doesn't make sense.

I think it's because he was in Soft Machine for three months back in 1968.

Springsteen

 

Wrong..he may not have had the chops of some of the more technical guitarists, but he was a songwriter par excellence, and IMO the last great rock star in living memory.

I may be on thin ice here, but I'm going to say Eddie Van Halen. Shredding isn't everything!

 

agreed

Dear Lord, the man does not just "shred." Listen to the riffs, the arrangements, the harmonics, the freakin' tone. The man is a master rhythm guitarist. And he's very melodic. He's a master.

And who has ever accused Springsteen of being a great guitarist? :huh:

Sammy Hagar, he is definately overrated

No he isn't because no one looks at him as an all time great.

Eddie is far more than shredding. Just silly.

Overrated... I will say, Ace Frehley

The thing about Frehley is a lot of people think he's dumb and he can't even read music or something but he's actually very knowledgeable. A enormous amount of people now judge KISS as talentless clowns who just got by on the gimmick of costumes and masks. So in that light he's actually underrated.

I don't listen to Kiss or Aces solo material but if there's is one talented memeber of that band its him. Gene and Paul can kiss me arse.
