bathory Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 exactly, the dude's great, and even people who know him sometimes don't even know that he plays guitar many people here would probably enjoy THE OBSESSED, they're not too scary I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enemy Within 77 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The Obsessed is more accesiible than Vitus I think. It's blasphemy round here, but Chandler is better than Iommi imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 yeah I dig chandler's style way more, iommi's the pioneer responsible for chandler, but chandler mixes in greg ginn (another underrated axeman around these parts) and some other 70s hard rock influences, more distortion too, plus he's heavier and doomier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side 2 of My War had to be an influence to Dave. Love his "solos" too- complete abuse of the wah! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enemy Within 77 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Greg Ginn is criminally underrated. I'm nominating East Bay Ray from the DK's. Even though he screwed over Jello, the man is a good guitarist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 pretty much any punk rock guitarist is gonna be underrated on here, d boon from the minutemen is excellent too 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 it's a shame that there were plenty of good punk musicians, yet for some reason joe strummer and johnny ramone are all anyone ever thinks of 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Steve Lukather! The man's a guitar maestro but tends to get dismissed as the guy who sings Rosanna... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Steve Lukather! The man's a guitar maestro but tends to get dismissed as the guy who sings Rosanna... Good call.

GeddyRulz Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I've always felt Brian May and Alex Lifeson were underrated. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Elliot Easton of the cars. Big band that most people know but never hear any love for him. Great melodic choices in his solos. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusGal Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Martin Barre is tragically underrated, imo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderfinger Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 This is a no brainer for me: Marc Ford, lead guitarist for The Black Crowes during their classic period. A dirtier sounding Mick Taylor with breathtaking tone. I agree with GeddyRulz that Alex Lifeson is underrated by the larger community. (Hell, I've been guilty of pointing at him as the weak link in Rush, but I'm a fool when I do.) Same goes for Steve Howe and Steve Hackett. They are not underrated by true music enthusiasts, but in the grand scheme of things all three are underrated. I also want to mention Dicky Betts, who for decades has had to live in Duane's shadow. The drink ruined Dickey, it seems, but he is (was?) an exceptional lead player. Finally, I'm a big fan of Mike Campbell. Not a guitar god, per se, but underrated IMHO. Oh wait, one more: Joe Platania from Van Morrison's Caledonia Soul Orchestra. No one seems to know him, but he is a brilliant guitarist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The Edge - I know some will say his stuff is easy to play, but so what? His innovative and creative style is a major reason why U2 is one of the biggest rock bands ever, and for that, he deserves a ton of credit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The Edge - I know some will say his stuff is easy to play, but so what? His innovative and creative style is a major reason why U2 is one of the biggest rock bands ever, and for that, he deserves a ton of credit. The Edge needs to thank Keith Levene, Tom Verlaine and the guy from A Flock of Seagulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
