Mine are exactly the same. Tied for first I think. What's funny is that Jonny Greenwood says people shouldnt think of him as this extremly talented musician because "there are people like Tom Morello out there creating similar stuff with about four pedals it's almost impossible to even put us in the same league". So Jonny Greenwood actually looks up to Tom Morello, haha.Quote:

The guy from Generation X had a really distinctive sound, but I like the guitar work of Simon and Garfunkel very much so I'll say them.
Gandolf the gay
and one of the chickmoks out of the Chickmonks christmas special
graham coxon [ex-blur (or is he now? ^_^); solo]
i looove his trademark twisting and jangled riffs. cool mockney voice too.
quite literally a genius. basically.
Synyster Gates from Avenged Sevenfold.
Slash :D
Eddie Van Halen/Steve Vai.
Pure.Awesome.
Kirk Hammett & Synyster Gates.
Both awesome at solo's :D
Kirk Hammett is my favourite.
Some others are Dave Mustaine,Dimebag Darrel,Eddie Van Halen,Slash. :)
Dimebag was pretty amazing.
Zakk Wylde's work for Black Label Society is incredible.

Well, most people only think of the Smells Like Teen Spirit solo when they talk about Cobain's music. I think Breed, Lounge Act and You Know You're Right are amazing songs, but no part of Cobains guitar stands out to me, it's usually Grohl on drums that does.Quote:

Matt Bellamy of Muse and Ray Toro of MyChemicalRomance also deserve mentions. Matt's guitar work is absolutely amazing in songs like Hysteria, New Born and Stockholm Syndrome. Ray is one of the only members of MCR that stands out to me; if you listen to their first album where it is only him on Guitar then it has a much better, harder sound.
I was going to say him, he does some pretty amazing stuff, when he's live he switches between the Keyboard and Guitar very quickly without messing up (On songs like Starlight where the parts are right next to each other).Quote:

slash is up there, as is the two guitarist from avenged sevonfold, they just work so well together i think
Slash, Slash, Slash!

troy van luewen (sp), he is the Jonny Greenwood of QOTSA... he also plays a mean electric lap steel
My opinion's a bit obvious but ^^ Slash!Quote:

He's the one with the crazy triple neck guitar. You can hear him going crazy on the guitar with the effects and stuff but the volume of the guitar is low. Phil from radiohead is the drummer.
Randy Rhodes...
& Eddie Van Halen's a close second.
zacky vengeance & jepha howard. [:
yeah i nticed it while watching the film and i was like wowQuote:

Andy Summers
Pretty much. I love how rarely he even strums and picks, its all effects.Quote:

Yeah, I heard. Audioslave's last album wasen't very good, so Im not COMPLETELY dissappointed, but Im really hoping RATM gets back together
RATM are one of those bands that just speak the truth if you get me, they don't dolly life up and stuff, just deliver it how it is which is why i think it gives them their edge [plus their music's awsome]Quote:

I think RATM is the only band that could have every song sound the same (which they pretty much do) and still be AMAZING. Their political forces make it okay for them to have the same formula, because you know they have a different message than normal bands.Quote:
