The lights are on
You like Godspeed You Black Emperor, but we prefer Mozart. It doesn't matter because here we all dance to the same tune. Let's all hang out and we can make beautiful music together.
Shred or funk grindcore or punk who are your favorite guitarists of all time? For the purpose of this question, only consider their ability and style on the guitar, not their lyrical or singing abilities.
I have to go with a three way tie between Zak Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne and Black Label Society), Marc Rizzo (Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy), and Paul Allender (Cradle of Filth)
I really like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Wylde, John 5, Doug Aldrich, Rob Beach, Lenny Kravitz and some others.
Slash, Morello, Toro, Mayer, and Wylde.
edit:
Forgot to add Hendrix, my idol-minus the drug use...
So far Wylde seems to be the only consistent guitarist up here.
There's just something about his style.
Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommi, Michael Schenker, Yngwie Malmsteen, and Randy Rhoads.
