Lechium · 03-08-2003, 05:16 PM

Of course Jimi... I mean who esle?
Other good ones...

Joe Satriani (tequinique-wise he's unparalled, he's Kirk's teacher too)
Jimmi Page
Adam Jones from Tool
Tom Morello

Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Mark Tremonti...umm...Carlos Santana. Thats all I can think of right off.

And I don't consider Eddie Van Halen the best guitarist. He's one of the best shredders but as far as guitar goes...no.

Satriani´s concert is good?

I know he´s good, but a friend of mine went to his concert, said it´s kinda boring... he´s coming again, I was wondering if I should go or not

Really?! Kurt Cobain?! I mean, i love nirvana but I think that cobain was very far from being the best... but of course, this just my opnion...

Satriani lacks emotion. It's one thing to listen to say, Pearl Jam (

) and feel actual emotion from a solo in say, Alive. However, all I get from Satriani is "I went to college and learned how to do this on the guitar... isn't it cool?" No emotion = apathy.

Yeah Cobain! If you lived near hokey little Aberdeen Washington (where he spent his whole childhood) and been to all the places he has, have met members of his family and know pretty much everything about his childhood, you can't help but love him. It is a much better connection when you're right there where he was and can really get in depth.

jango · 03-09-2003, 06:50 PM

Cobain's an icon, don't get me wrong, but his guitar work was anything but admirable. It was all fairly basic, but original, nonetheless, for its time. Listen to the "solo" in SLTS, it's just the melody of the song, nothing new.

Cobain's an awesome musician and lyricist, but as a guitarist, I don't think he's anything past just plain good.

Tremonti_Cobain · 03-09-2003, 07:48 PM

I agrre with Jango, love his lyrics, but his guitar work is really basic

C-Dogg · 03-09-2003, 08:28 PM

Lets just put it this way guys.

I like him. I like his music. I think he's good. End of story. Now drop the subjuct.

Bridge of Clay · 03-09-2003, 09:27 PM

any 5 year-old can play Nirvana´s songs on guitar...they´re pretty easy

Unforgiven Fan · 03-09-2003, 09:38 PM

cobain is an icon and a icon on the guitar. He was simple but yet effective. If you look at what was going before him (pop hair metal) with all the solos and guitar junk, then look at him and what Nirvana and the other rock band (commonly dubed "grundge" bands) of that era, his playing match that of what was going on that is why he is an icon but not a legend.

Bridge of Clay · 03-09-2003, 09:59 PM

but being an icon doesn´t make him the best guitarist ever. Santana is one of the best and he´s far from being an icon... at least in the same level of Cobain

Nobody here said they didn't like him, in fact, it was just the opposite. I agree with jango as well. It was his writing and his voice that touched me much more than his guitar playing. The guy is an icon, no question. I'm a huge Nirvana fan, but Cobain was no virtuoso. He was a good guitarist, no question, but to say he's better than Hendrix or Page or Morello....well he just doesn' t compare to them.

DangerousDan85 · 03-09-2003, 10:55 PM

the same goes for Elvis

Okay, we'll drop it.

Yeah, right.
