Hendrix, Angus Young, Tony Iommi, Ritche Blackmore, Edward Van Halen, Michael Schenker, Randy Rhoads are just a few I listen to. As a footnote, Angus Young, despite playing an "unfashionable" genre of music, played on one of the biggest selling albums of all time...Back in Black. If I had to pick one, Angus Young. Performance, energy, excitement, style? Without a doubt. Good list,I forgot Schenker and Randy Rhoads...I hang my head in shame. I thought I’d add a pic from the last time I saw him in 2017.

ThePrisoner Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I'm in need of a new Boss DS-1 pedal. Is it still a classic and good as it used to be? I had one about 15 years ago but lost it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some hate them and the real gear snobs tell us that they don't sound the same as they used to but I can't tell the difference, especially when used with other stuff. I love mine. Easily modded and sounds great. Beware of the brand new ones, however. I believe the components are of the sort you can't remove from the board, so modding is impossible.

Cheers Andy, loved mine too. Didn't know that about the newer ones though, might delve into eBay/Reverb and pick one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or fork out £80 or so for the kudos of an 80s made in Japan unit. For me, it's cheapo every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 From the modern era no-ones mentioned John Frusciante! And of course why has no-one mentioned Derby's very own Matt Bagguley and Darius Hinks of Cable fame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanish Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Having just seen Alter Bridge must add Myles Kennedy. Lead singer but also a mean guitarist and a perfect foil to the driving force of Tramonte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I’m a big Maiden fan and absolutely love Adrian Smith. His solos are so well crafted, not just wild fret wnking - his Stranger in a Strange Land solo still knocks my socks off. His writing is brilliant as well, Maiden went completely down the toilet when he left. I’m not all that keen on their newer stuff but it picked right up when H rejoined. His solo on Tears of a Clown is acebags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just haven’t kept up with which bands, if any, have replaced these old favourites. I still think the seventies and early eighties were the golden years of good old heavy rock (metal) music. Am I getting old!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaside Ram Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 If you want the best guitarist then you have to go to the best ever band . Step forward Johnny Marr from The Smiths . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
