Spaz The Great Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Really? But he isn't part of GnR, I don't think? I like his solo work, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishoM Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Both Buckethead and Ron Thal are on Chinese Democracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I understand, but as a guest artist? He isn't listed as a member of GnR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Kurt Cobain, his rhythm playing is just epic, and his solos aren't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilly Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Kurt Cobain's playing is pretty mediocre, but he did great in the mainstream market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 That's totally untrue, ask any decent guitar player from this era today, and they'll definetely give Kurt Cobain credit for influencing their style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilly Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) Um, no. They won't. I think you've let radio talk shows influence you too much. Edit: Jon Finn Edited February 14, 2009 by tilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonSkull Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Adrian Belew is the best. I see a lot of groups being mentioned but "groups" are not Guitarists. He has played for many groups and vocalists as their choice guitarist. I like this Japanese commercial he appeared in: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I didn't have a fucking clue what that ad was about, at all...but it was fun Anyway, we're talking about groups, because groups usually contain guitarists, yano? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilly Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Adrian Belew is the best. I see a lot of groups being mentioned but "groups" are not Guitarists. He has played for many groups and vocalists as their choice guitarist.I like this Japanese commercial he appeared in: He is by far the best at singing while playing complicated guitar riffs and chords. Not my favorite composer or player, but still very good. I didn't have a fucking clue what that ad was about, at all...but it was fun Anyway, we're talking about groups, because groups usually contain guitarists, yano? No he means everybody just posting the guitarist of their favorite band. Which is what most people are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Well, the guitarist would be one of the reasons WHY a band is your favorite, no? (Though, my reason is usually the vocalist...new topic?) Edited February 15, 2009 by L-RiC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 L-RiC already gave a reason, but yeah...if you still don't understand... Example: I wouldn't say "omg have you seen how epic James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett's riffs are epic" because it's wrong: 1. Who knows who James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett are? any normal non-fan would know them as Metallica. 2. If you get a group with more than one guitarist, it kinda gets annoying spelling out all their names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 That's totally untrue, ask any decent guitar player from this era today, and they'll definetely give Kurt Cobain credit for influencing their style. That's a load of bullshit. You're telling me that EVERY decent guitarist, regardless of style or personality, has influence from Kurt Cobain? That doesn't even make sense.

Connor Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) I didn't say EVERY, I said ANY. But yeah, kinda cross out the definetely part after and replace it with mostly. Any guitarist I've spoken to who are around my age, even if they don't like Nirvana, have told me they're influenced by Kurt Cobain.

Spaz The Great Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 A. That's around YOUR AGE. B. I just couldn't see a vast majority of guitarists influenced by the lead of such a mediocre band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tilly Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Well, the guitarist would be one of the reasons WHY a band is your favorite, no? (Though, my reason is usually the vocalist...new topic?) Go ahead. I didn't say EVERY, I said ANY.But yeah, kinda cross out the definetely part after and replace it with mostly. Any guitarist I've spoken to who are around my age, even if they don't like Nirvana, have told me they're influenced by Kurt Cobain. I'm not influenced by Kurt Cobain at all. And by 'any' you were implying every, since if we were to ask any and they would all say yes, that means every guitarist would say yes. The only reason anybody knows about Kurt Cobain is because Nirvana did so well in the mainstream market, then his popularity boosted when he died. Can we all stop using bullets?

Connor Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Why is any other famous person known? Exactly for that reason, so it doesn't really make a difference. And go read my other posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And go read my other posts. Being known from fame and being known from skill/talent/ability is NOT the same thing. You can get fame from having skill or talent, but it isn't a requirement for fame.
